a large portion of the expense atten-
dant on employing men In various in
dustries, is the expense of oversight.
Some men need watching; they are
ignorant and Indifferent, they DO
things wrongly, they loose time, spoil
stock, turn out inferior work. and de-
moralize things generally, unless they
are watched by keen-eyed and compe-
tent men. But it costs money to hire
first-class men, and this money must
come out of the wages Of the men who
require theoversight.
Not only is it necessary to watch
men who are unskilled and Indifferent,
but there are men who deliberately
shirk their duties, slight and scamp
their work, and it costs money to
watch them; and rs small establish
nIents can not afford the high-priced
men required for the oversight OF such
worklnen, it follows that many such
places are closed against untrust-
worthy men, who are obliged to go
with the crowd, where they eau be
watched and loked after.
\ great point is gained when q man
can oversee himself; when he knows
what to do and is willing to do it,;
when he can set himself at work, and
keep ut it until it is done, giving hon
est work for honest wages. Such
a man is worth more than some
Others, though he may do less, and he
will find place when many Others
will fail to get situation.-The Chris
tiuu.

Liquor Drinking

Hon. Chauncey M. Depew will
scarcely be accused of fanaticism on the
question of liquor drinking. Here is
his experience as stated in aspeech or
his before company of railroad men:
"Twenty-five years ago | knew every
man, woman, and child in Eeekskil!.
And it has been study to me to mark
boys who started in every grade Of life
with myself, to see what has become OF
them. 1 was up last fall, and began to
count them over, and it was All instruct
i've exhibit. Some of them became
clerks, merchants, manufacturers, law
yers and doctors. tits remarkable that
every one o7those that drank are dead;
not one living of my age. Barring q
few who were taken offby sickness,
every one who proved q wreck and
wrecked his family, d.d it from rum
and no other cause. or those VINO
were Christians, who were steady, IN
dustrious, and hardworking men, who
were frugal and thrifty, every single
one of them, without an exception,
owns the house in which he lives, and
has something laid by, the interest on
which, with his house, would carry
him through many a rainy, day.
When q man becomes debased with
gambling, rum, or drink, he doesn't
care: all his finer feelings are crowded
out. The poor wemen ut home are the
ones who suffer-suffer in their tender

China the Power OF the Future.

The Chinese are the coming nation.
The Chinese will, think, overrun the
world. The Battle of Armageddon
will take place between the Chinese
and the English-speaking races. There
will be, | assume, another war be-
tween France and Germany, and it
will be about the bloodiest war or
series of wars which we have seen in
Europe. But some day Il great Cen
eraI or Lawgiver will arise in China,
and the Chinese, who have been mo-
tionleSs for three centuries, will begin
to progress. They will take to the
profession Of arms, and then they will
hurl themselves upon the Russian
Empire.
Before the Chinese armies-ss they
possess every military virtue, are stol.
idly Indifferent to death, and capable
of ineXhaustible endurance-the Rus
slams will go down. Then the Chinese
armies will march westward. They
will overrun India, sweeping us into
the sea. Asia will belong to them, and
then, at last, British, Americans, Aus
tralians, will have to rally for last
desperate conflict. So CERTAIN do re-
gard this that think one fixed point
of our policy should he to strain every
nerve and make every sacrifice to keep
On good terms with China. China is

What Makes the Difference

"You forgot yourself today, did you
not? You preached forty-tive min
utes." said member to his pastor, af-
ter the sermon: "Maybe I did; but oh,
the human souls before me--their val
lie and thei" danger! 1t may be, in
my zeal for their salvation, l talked a
few minutes over my time" II
thought so," said the member.
"Such speech never heard the
like of it before. / stood for two
hours, the crowd being so great l could
not find seat, and believe I could
have stood another hour without get
ting tired.n So said the same member
to his pastor few days after the COM
plant at the length of his sermon.
The speech referred to was made by a
Mr.. A., a politician, before the politi-
cal club Of his ward.
The pastor thought: On one hand the
question of salvation, the cause of hu-
manity, of the church, Of God; the
great verities Of life, death and judg-
ment, and tired at Is minutes with a
comfortable seat! On the other hand,
the success Of a political party, and two
hours, no seat, and not tired?-Metho-

RetributiOn

1t is easy to do what can never be
undone. 1t is easy by example or
word or deed to lead men and women
astray, but not easy, when we gee our
mistake and repent, to lead them back
to the right way. Impressing this
truth upon parents, Mr.. Moody said in
recent sermon in Boston II re-
member being engaged in conversa-
ton, some years ago, till past mid
night with an old man. He had been
for years wandering on the barren
mountains of sin. That night he
wanted to get back. We prayed, and
prayed, and prayed till light broke in
upon him ; and he went away rejoic-
ing. The next night he sat in front of
me when I was preaching, and I think
that I never saw anyone look 80 sad
and wretched in all my life. He fol-
lowed me into the inquiry-room.
What is the trouble% Iasked. rs

doubts come back?' No: it is not

ness, but spent all this day in visiting

Boys and Men

You are hoys, now but you will soon
he men. You ale half as tall now rs
you ever will be. Soon you will have
your own way to make in the world.
DO you mean to be idle.and fretful,
and deceive people, and give them Il
bad opinion of you? Or do you intend
to go to work, and act bravely and
nobly, and do your duty, and leave Il
name behind you when you die which
the world will love and respect? Take
care-now is the time! Did you ever
notice large tree that grew crooked,
and was an ugly eyesore on that ac-
count? Perhaps it stood OH the lawn
right in front of the porch, and you
father would have liked very much to
straighten it. 1t was impossible to do
so. A hundred horses could not have
dragged it erect, and yet think of the
time when the large tree was a small
sapling, child might have straighten-
ed it then, and it would have grown
properly, and every one would have ad-
mired it.
Boys ought to grow straight, not
crooked. You are young now, as the
tree was once. Begin in time, and you
will be as straight as an arrow when
you are u man. 1t you are man. 1t
you wait, il will DO too late. The way
to make men erect and noble Is to
take them when they are boys, and to
show them that there is nothing i'll the
world so noble rs doingtheir duty.

Destroying Human Life.

1t Is alarming to the individual con-
science when men, women and chill
dren are swept away by some sudden
catastrophe. And when the agency of
destruction is near ones door the alarm
is terrible. We never knew much
about earthquakes till old Charleston
was shattered. Wesaw men with their
encyclopedias "reading up" and en-
quiring as to the probable cause of the
same. When a few dead forms had
been gazed upon, and the old earth
kept trembling, the panic was terrible.
But how much more concerned
should one be, when the fact is devel-
oped that the best and brightest speci-
men of our fellows are being silently
hewn down by the demon of strong
drink, at the rate of 10000 and more,
every year. And worse still, we not
only know the fact, but permit 1t to
continue. We simply say, pay us ou
price, and you may continue this work
of human destructi IN, This is the Ii
cense system. Our American people
have become so accustomed to bargain
and sale, that they can, "for consid-
eration," barter in human flesh and
bones and blood-to say nothing of the
immortal spirit within the individual.
And yet men, fresh from the commun-
ion table of their Lord, will stalk the
streets and complacently inquire if pro-
hlbition will pay?
Oh, this wholesale destruction of hu-
man life. Can we take in the awful
fact? Do we know what these hun
dreds Of thousands Of fdrunkard's graves
mean? Can we stand still long enough
for the vast army to pass in review be-
fore US: The Hon. William Window
in speaking of this wholesale destruc-
ton of men, said:
81 do not overstate it when / say
that the two hundred thousand saloons
in this country have been instrumental
in destroying more human lives in the
last five years than the two millions of
armed men did during the four years
of the civil war, Whiskey is a more
deadly weapon than shot or shell, or
any of the implements of our improv-
oil mOIprn warfare -

Two Ways.

Men never break down so long as
they keep happy, joyous heart. 1t
is the sad heart that tires. Whatever
our load, we should always keep Il
songful spirit in our breast. There are
two ways of meeting hard experiences.
One way is to struggle and resist, re-
fusing to yield. The result is the
wounding of the soul, and the intcnsi-
fying of the hardness. The other way
is to swcct!y accept the circumstances
of the restraints, to make the best OF
them, and to endure them songfully
and chcerfully. Those who live in the
first of these ways grow old in mid
life. Those who take the other way
of life keepa young, happy heart even
to old age.

woman doesn't have to wear corset
any more than a horse does if she
doesns want to, Even that dyed-in-the-
wool tyrant, the dressmaker, conde-
scends, without murmur, to fit her
without corset if she wishes it.
This is the golden age of personal
preference in dress. A woman may
wear sheath skirt and demitrain on
the street if she likes, or she may wear
n full skirt that barely touches her in
step if she prefers, and not one person in
a hundred will notice the difference.
She may wear underskirts not at all or
three at time, and unless she discusses
the question with her women friends
nobody ever knows which time is which
She may wear shoes with high heels and
narrow soles or shoes with broad soles
and no heels at all, and if she is charm
ing woman people are as eager to make
her acquaintance and treasure her friend,
ship just as much in one case as the other.
She may be what dressmaker's
dummy used to be if she likes, or a
fashion plate figure, and if she enjoys
that sort of thing there is no earthly
reason why she shouldn't indulge in it,
but when she goes out she must not
be surprised if she attracts attention and
causes smiles and looks of amusement.
For she would look queer among the
women clothed as the modern woman
dresses-in a costume that clothes the
figure without distorting it, that gives
free play to all the muscles both inside
and outside the skeleton, that subor-
dinates the dress to the body and gives
to each woman her individual form.
