Thankfulness.

y sincere attachment to truth,
moral and scientific, is a habit which
cures a thousand little inGrmities Of
mind and is as honorable TO a man
who possesses it, in point of character,
as it IS profitable in point of improve
ment. There is nothing more beauti-
full in science than to hear any man
candidly owning to his ignorance. It
is so little the habit OF men who Guilt
vate knowledge to do so-they so
often have recourse to subterfuge, non
sense or hypothesis, rather than to a
plain, manly declaration, either that
they themselves do not understand
the subject Or that the subject is not
understood-that Ii is really quite re-
freShing TO witness such instances of
philosophical candor, and it creates an
immediate prepossessjon in favor Of
the person in whom It is Observed
Exchange.

Antitrust Laws.

- The perfection of the Missouri
antitrust law and that Of Illinois to a
point of efficiency where they may be
expected 10 accomplish their intended
purpose indicates the prevailing feeling
in nearly all the States. There is a
Federal antitrust law, which has been
in the statutes for several years, but
little or nothing has been done under
IT, II IS realized that if any effective
opposition to a great trade combination
is 10 be had, it must come out of the
States acting separately, or on lines of
practical agreement. All of these
combines are organized under State
laws, and many OF them under the
laws of several different States. Uni
formity in State laws calculated to
reach them IS At present the best open
course. The Missouri and Illinois
laws are not widely apart anywhere,
and practically together on all I'M
portant points. They are The best Of
their kind, and ii they stand the test
OF adjudication should serve as models

BOOTHS FIGHT WITH LIQUOR.
The Great Actors Strong and Life
long Struggle Against the Appetite.
san francisco Examiner.

"Liquor had been his fathers
curse. 1t was his cnticcmcnt and
martyrdom. His heroic struggle
against the appetite endcared him
more and more to those who knew him
best. He would come to my table
he was the godfather Of my child, you
know-and men like Edwin Adams
and myself would be there with our
wine before US. We'd say: ed, It's
too bad, old man, you can't join US

81 remember once leading painter
who lived in Brooklyn gave a grand
/rtc thambctre, which was romancsque
in its prodigality. Booth went. Cham
payne flooded the place. He left the
house and wandered in the garden.
People who met him urged him to 90
back to the throng. He declined.
Afterward he said TO me:
"'I suppose those people said 1--WE
met Ed Booth down in the grounds
playing Hamlet. But if I'd gone
back | might have been the merricst
of all for an hour-perhaps as bright
as any, Bot when some Of the guests
left they would have stumbled over my
PROSTATE figure in the gutter and said:
The brute Why can't he stay
away?'
alt was because of his marlyrdom
that he took to his strong pipe his
strong cigars, and his strong coffee,
and they undermined his system,
shattered his nerves, and drove him to
premature death.
81 remember when he was l'i+ltrg
Iago to Salvini's Othello, one night IN
New York, he had taken a drink or
two before coming en- the state. With
his nervous organization and stuntchic
troubles a glass Of beer meant almost
drunkenness.
When, in the play Salvini pushed
him off, instead of staggering and
recovering, he fell full length, with his
head right in the fooilights. 1t WAS
an awful thing and you could hear the
shivcring 'ugh?' 90 through the
theatre and across the stage.
That 'ugh!' sobered him IN an
instant, and they had to watch Kim
all that night to keep him from self
destruction. He felt that he had
disgraced himself forever, and it was
only by the most touching appeals
that he could be persuaded to go on
the next night But at last he con-
sented.
"The play was Hamlet, and he
had the title role. You know the
entrance. When he appeared he
couldn't face the immense audience.
But men and women rose in their
chairs and shouted:
"sBooth Booth Booth " just to
let him know that he was dear old
Booth yet, no matter what might
come.
"Don't you know, he just stood on
that stage and sobbed aloud. He
couldn't control his tears, and the
people began to weep with him. But
then he turned-and, all, he played
Hamlet that night as it was never
played before ~

Paying your Small Bills.

1t would be impossible to SO disturb
credit and confidence as to bring on
conditions Of stagnation and panic if
every man and woman owing small
bills te the grocer, the doctor, the mil
liner, the baker, the butcher, the car
peDter, and the hundreds Of persons
in other callings who minister to our
daily wants. should make prompt
payment. If tine ten dollar debt
owing to the grocer should be paid to
him he could settle his bebt with the
doctor, and the doctors wife could
settle with the milliner, and the mil
liner the baker, and 50 on.
The ten dollars once started on its
Grand Of liquidation might satisfy
hundreds Of dollars OF indebtedness as
fast as it could be passed from debtor
to creditor. The man who thrusts it
in his pocket, and lets his creditor
wait contributes his share toward
augmenting business distress. When
thousands Of men, actuatcd by fear or
careless disregard Of obvious duty,
begin to hoard money, instead Of pay
ing their debts, distress must result.
When millions lose confidence and
only pay as they are forced to do it.,
further business IS impossible. AL the
wealth Of the milljonaircs thrust into
breach could not make good popular

The Wide Tire.

The wide tire on wagons, in COM
mon use III France, are coming into
favor in this country. One of the
New England States not long ago
passed law requiring the Use of the
wide tire, the law to take effect IN
1895, to give ample time to make the
desired changes in the construction of
wheels. The Legislature of New York
has adopted an excellent way of
encouraging the use OF the wide tire
without any mandatory legislation, by
the enactment Of a law which gives a
rebate of one-half the amount of the
road tax to all those who use the wide
tire instead of the narrow. This in
ducement, and the manifest ad-
vantages of the wide tire, which will
become apparent when they come
into use, will soon lead to their adop-
ton. But this is something which the
people who have wagoning to do
ought to catch on to without any
compulsory laws, or rewards, as in
ducements.

4 Bad Habit.

As IN exchange says, there IS no
habit 50 easy to fall into nor one 50
hard to break as that Of borrowing. 1t
IS 50 simple to say "wiN you lend
me-" but when the time comes to pay
back the loan you are almost sure to
bcgrudge it and murmer something
about "paying for dead horse"
forgetting how much you appreciated
the kindness shown you at the time
you hcsitatirgly whispered "wll you
lend" The woman who borrows
sugar, tea and spice becomes a nuisance
that her neighbors soon abhor. The
woman who wishes to wear your hats,
your jewelry OF your evening shoes
YOU soon learn to dread, and in fact
the chronic borrower is a Tcrson
whom all sooner or later try to avoid.
Do not borrow unless it is an absolute
necessity, IN which case be certain TO
pay back the loan pomptly when you
SAID you would. Il is much better 10
do without things than to get into
debt, but the lOvelicst dress, hat or
wrap will not compensate for the
heavy load Of debt that presses on
your heart, and which blots Out the
Brightness o! the sunshine and looms

the secret of prosperity. Happiness IS
the heritage Of the one who adhercs to
the rule, and 4 contcntcd mind and
an ever increasing bank account will
belong to the one who buys only what
he can pay for, and has no wakelul
nights worrying over q debt that must
be paid, but for which there IS no
money in Notwithstanding ZImc5

A Lesson on Kissing.
LWeld0n Roanoke NPWS. |

MI +. l. Pitts who lives near this
place, is the owner of an old dog. A
few days ago a snake bit the dog on
the mouth and its head swelled up to
a tremendous size. The dog kissed a
puppy and the disease was impaired
to the little pup and its head also
became much larger than its normal
condition. The puppy kissed Il cat,
and, strange as it may appear, the cat
also received the poison and the poor
feline's head and mouth became ter
ribly swollen. IN three days the puppy
died and the cat died, but the old dog
recovered and got well. If this was a
snake story We would state that the
snake also died, but the above are
facts and these facts present a clear
case against promiscuous kissing, show
ing that diseases may be impaired by
4 kiss.

Fools are FaWning.
IOrange (Ea.) Observer. !

Orange ' a. observer.
We regret to see that the detcstable
spirit of hunkeism still animates the
bosoms Of some American people, and
that they are willing to crawl in cring-
ing servi!ity, and bow in tawning
obsequiousness and wait in sycophantic
obcyanCe at the feet of those who
happen 10 wear title. The Infanta
Eulalia, real, live, genuine Princess,
is in the United States, and some Of
the above mentioned representatives
of soldering snobbcry and some Of
her own train OF slavish adherents
seem to think that she has not been
treated with that idolatrous considera-
ton which BELTS her exalted station.
She has been received with distin-
guishcd courtesy by our country, and
every consideration, which true re-
finement ana genuine politeness and
unstinted hospitality could suggest,
has been accorded her. But the heads
OF our better class of people have not
been turned by the presence of Eulalia,
for in America We have So many
Queens that we are not dazzled and
bewildcred by the presence of a Prin-
cess, for in til; freedom loving country
every true woman IS a God crowned
Queen, her real throne is the Heavenly
sheltered realm Of the heart, her benign
and bliss giving scepter of affection,
and as such every true heart pays its
fondest homage as a precious and
willing tribute to her royalty and her
Queenliness,
