stated what DAYS he would be at liberty

auproved, but was not ready for the
work Daily the carpenter appeared,
but the Engiishman waived him aside.
Then the carpenter stopped coming.
Finally, when the office was cramped
for want of the new partitions aud

ing an audience not very large, one of
our contemporaries speaks of "half a
thousand attendants" This reminds
us of a young gentleman who was
boasting Of the amount of money his
brother had made in Wall Street spec
ulation in one year; it was "tenth of
a million" of dollars, with the em-
phasis strongly on the million, and
made profound impression.
Those who are buying goods, espe-
cially where fancy prices are asked, as
works of art, unimproved real estate,
peculiar schemes of life insurance,
books sold by subscription to be de-
livered in monthly parts, sewing ma
chimes and other things on the Install

Educating n Child.

er it might not also he well to begin
this system of education by training
the father and the grandfather OF the

A child left to himself brings shame
both TO his father and his mother.
The way men go to ruin may he stat
ed in a word "All we as sheep have
gone astray. We have turned every
man to his own way.' This Is
enough to ruin any one, for when a
man has "his own way" il is usually
the worst way he can have. Children
inherit evil passions and dispositions.
Born with unregulated impulses they

KtIIinr butterflies.

Stopping at the seashore few days
since, we saw a number of interesting
children gathering butterflies, grass
hoppers, and other varieties of insects,
and fastening them with pins to the
side of the hotel, where the poor crea-
lures were writhing and struggling to
escape. 1t was not the fault of the
children. They were very young, and
knew no better. They did not once
dream of the suffering endured by
these insects, and, on being told of it,
all assented TO their being at once kill.

suit of them. But it was your fault, IA
theirs and mothers of those children,
and one for which God holds you ac-

to your children in that period Of life

is in your hands, and they grow ur

old age you reap the harvest you have
sown, you have no one to blame but
yourselves.---George II. Angel

The german agriculturists makes
grass the basis of all successful farming.
Their theory is about in these words:
No grass, no cattle; no meat, no cattle,
no manure; no manure, no gram; no
grain, no bread; no money, no pros
perity Oh the farm =,
With abundance of grass for both
pasturage in summer and hay in win
Ter, the question of cattle and meat is
al easy one. In fact the farmer who
thrives by his grass has the easiest
known method of living, the grasses
requiring less trouble and less culture
than any other farm product. With
the crop of seed properly put in the
soil there is but little further cultiva-
ton or special labor until the moving
time COMES; and now that we have
such a variety of effective harvesting
machinery the matter of saving the
hay is comparatively light task for the
farmer.-SOuthern Farm.

JnInerited Degrees.

Singular ideas about American
degrees were entertained by some of
our friends who came to The Ecumeni-
cal Council. The main thing which
they hoped for in two or three in
stances, was that they might return in
possession of doctorate of some
kind, and letters were sent to this
office and elsewhere maguifying the
qualifications of divers persons for
such honOrs.
We trust that no foreigner whose
qualifications are not SO high as to
command respect for the degree will
receive one from American Methodist
colleges. Whatever is carelessly done
at home, let the honor of our country,
as we'll as of our Denomination, be
protected by comforting no degrees up
on residents of other countries, where
degrees are seldom con ferred unless
earned, except when and where public
sentiment willunquestionably approve
the act.
A doctor of laws in this country, of
undoubted attainments, was one of tn"
speakers at college Commencement.
Another doctor of laws, who probably
could not give philosophical detini-
ton of law, followed the first in a
speech wrong in statements of facts,
confus ed in ideas, erroneous in gram
mar, Incorrect in pronunciation, bar.
barous in elocution, and ridiculous as
a whole.
The third speaker began by a satire
on those remarkable letters, "L l..
d." which he said carried opposite
meanings, any suggested that there
ought to be some way of using part
of the title, illustrating his remarks by
a reference to Douglas Jerrold, who
knew a person whom he disliked who
had degree in two letters, A. S., for
which he expressed his contempt bv
saying that lit was very strange that
a man would print only two thirds of
his name.n

How to Read with Profit.
BY G.. Ere derrick , ID. ID.

Reading is conpanionship, educa-
ton, culture. 1t upbuilds and furnish
rs and beautIties the soul. 1t develops
confidence, euriches conversation, and
cultvates grace. The knowledge OF
good books is the TODD OF youth. the
delight o. age, the ornament of pros
perity, the comfort of adversi!y.' 1t
IS an open door to the best society, Il
stepping stone to the higest fame, Il
crown of honor that outshines the sun.
These things being true, it is Que of
life's necessities that the young should
read good books and not weary therein.
The following suggestions will help
10 profit in reading:
|. Plan your reading. Select the
books to be read far in advance. Prefer
books that are old enough and good
enough to be classical, attractiveif pos
sible, pure always. Books with boards
are better than bearddleSs books.
=. Vary your reading. Follow ro-
nance with history, history with biog-
raphy, travel. arr, science, philosophy
religion. Variety givety gives breadth
and keeps up interest.
IS. Limit your reading. Know Il
few books we'll rather than many books
indifferently. Intensive is better than
extensive reading. Big fish swim in
deep water.
4. Fix your reading. 70 this end
read carefully, weigh thoughts, talk
them over to yourself and with other.,
try to remember them. "Thinking
makes what we read ours"
5. Time your readings. Have a
book-hour each day if posi- le. Es-
pecially. however, utilize fragments Of
lime for few pages of reading. Lit
tie and often masters the largest vol
umes.
+. Enrich your reading. This do
by looking up all allusion to history,
poetry, art, mythology, persons, places
etc.
:. Preserve your reading. Own, il
possible, every book You read mark
choce passages in them; make com
arisons of them &; often commune with
them.
These seven things remember name
ly. plan, vary, limit, fix, time, enrich,
and preserve your reading, and thus
reading will be one of the most profit
able exercises of your life.-EpwoTth
Herald.

What is the remedy for the irrepres-
sible conflict between capital and Ia
bor? We answer without hesitation
proft-sharing. The expense of pro-
duction is the interest on money invest
ed, the wear, tear, and deterioration of
lands, buildings, tools and machinery,
insurance and the setting aside of re-
serve fund to meet emergencies, losses
from bad debts, possible increase in
cost of material, decrease in price Of
product and other contingent expenses.
What shall be done with the accruing
profits above and beyond all this eX-
pense of production? The Nazarene
would doubtless say, Lett be shared
by the owner of the factory, the man
agement and the laborers. This rule
will stop all strikes and bloodshed.
The laborers would then have direct
interest in the business and do their
best to make their profits in which
they are to share as large as possible.
Besides they would take better care of
the tools and machinery used, realiz-
ing that it was to their real and best in
terest to protect, conserve and foster
the entire interests of the establish
ment. Then the only great strike that
will be necessary will be for capital
and labor to rise up together and strike
the saloon. In one Of the towns of H.
linois, banker put his private mark on
the money he paid out on Saturday
night to the wage-workers of the town
who patronize1 his bank, and on Mon
day night, of the 500 paid cut and
ma rked privately, over $500 had come
back to him from the saloons of that
town!

To think closely requires concentra-
tion of mental energy and fixedness of
attention. 1t is this as much, or more
than anything else, that makes the
difference between minds. One can
take u thought and hold it steadily
before the mind until it has been
viewed in all its aspects and relations.
Another, owing perhaps to more rap
id train of perceptions passing through
the mind and a lack of fiXedness OF
attention, views it hastily on one side
only and passes OH 1t is needless to say
there will be a great difference as to
the value of the decisions Of two such
persons. Concentration of mental
emery and fiXedness of attention are
indispensable to intellectual attain.

Moses told the elders of the tribe OF
