An American capitalist, who Is q keen
observer, is reported to have said that he
did not believe that there was an Ameri-
can citizen whose income represented a
salary who was not living beyond his
means. And he added that. II the man
had family, be was bringing up that
family to standards and wants that he
could not honestly crafty. Our own OBJ
sarvation does not bear witness to this
assertion. But II the alleged fact be true
to any considerable extent it must be
regarded as among the causes Of the
many embezzlements and other pecun-
iary delinqnencies which have become
90 common Of late years.
Playing the races" has been the ruin
Of a multitude, but living beyond ones
means must bear part of the blame And
it is more serious than is commonly i'm
aginsd. 1t involves false pretenses and
fraud. 1t is mean species Of crime,

not afraid or ashamed to contract debts

Stage Love Versus Real Lave.

Globe.
We cannot say for sure. but we guess
not, or anyhow not always Perhaps, in
truth, real love and stage love are often
Of the same essence, Of like substance, Of
similar quality, and closely akin to each
other. Indeed, for all we can say, the
resemblance between them may be
marked, or even very marked. Ask the
younger Dumas or N. Pierre Lott or Mr..
Robert L. Stevenson or. in case all those
persons have gone out, ask the well in
formed Mr.. William D. Howells of this
place, who rarely ever goes ont, except
to collect the proceeds Of his copyright
from the publishers Of his novels. We
are unable to say whether Professor
Helmholtz, the German chemist now IN
this country, who is man of analysis
and apprehension, could throw any light
ON the subject. But we can tell the Bos-
ton Globe that it is very foolish in put
ting its question about stage love and
real love to stage lovers and real lovers,

labor UNIONS VS.. AMERI
CAN BOYS.

Shall American boys be per-
mitted to learn trades, and, having
learned them, shall they be per
mitted TO work at them? They
are apparently simple questions,
snd the answering Of them is an
apparently simple matter. Most
persons thus interrogated would
reply at once: Certainly they
should. Why do you ask such
unnecessary questions?n We ask
them because under the present
conditions Of trade instruction and
employment in this country the
American boy has no rights which
organized labor is bound to respect.
He is denied instructions as an
apprentice, and if he be taught
his trade in q trade school, he is
refused admission to nearly all the
trade unions and is boycotted if he
attempts to work as non-union
man. The questions Of his charac-
ter and skin enter into the matter
only to discriminate against him.
All the trades unions in the
country are controlled BY foreign
ers, who comprise the great ma
iority Of their members. While
hay refuse admission to the trained
aerican boy they admit foreigners
th little or no regard to their
running or skill. In fact, the
doors ofnrganizedlabor in America,
which are closed and barred against
American boys, swing open, wide
and free, to all foreign comers.
Labor 10 free America is free TO all
save the sons Of Americans. These
4 ags neither idle nor exaggerated
statements. They are sober, solemn
truths, expressed with studied
moderation. So-called labor to-
day is q complete misnomer, as far
as the trades are concerned. How
has it come about that the United
States, alone among the nations Of
theaarth, has not merely surrender
81 possession Of their field d
mechanical labor to foreigners, bui
aoquiesCes whsn the foreign pos
SCISSORS exclude from that field hel

GRAND WORDS OF TRUTH

II is easy for people to talk about them
selves, ana state what they may have done
put II is Jar better TO have other people speak
for you. The Worcs which follow are the frank
expressions of people who know Of what they
speak.
Rev. VIM. w. Whitney, of Linuthgo, n. Y,
says: 81 have been afflicted more or less for
SIX years past with malaria, aguc. have had
pneumonia three times and have been
troubled with bronchial and catarrhal trouble

very sick for twelve weeks and the doctors
thought would die. While in this condition
! began taking something OF which l had
heard much but knew little. and am reoiced
to say that l have been practically cured by
the use Of Duhy's pure malt whisky"
Mr.. John Kelly Chase, Amesbury, Mass
says: For some six years past my wife has
been suffering from nervous prostration. For
years she was troubled with insomnia and
nothing recommended by the most eminent
/ physicians would induce sleep. Under the
advice of physicians she recently tried Duny's
malt whisky in small quantities and with the
most satisfactory results. While Mrs. Chase
has always been stauch in her temperance
principles and consistent in practice She has
no hesitation in recommending to iuvalids
VINO need gentle stimulant, DuHy'S pure
malt whisky
II. II. Babcock, the celebrated wagon manu-
lacturer OF WatertOWn, y. Y. says: Myself
ana wife are using DuHy's pure malt whisky
and IL is doing us good. We celebrated i'm
November last our tftieth anniversary and
we are now looking forward TO the seventy
fifth, and believe that good tonic may help
US along"
L. c. Avlla, of the Brooklyn association for
improving the condition OF the poor, says;
81 have used Duny's malt whisky ior inc
past two years, having suffered from severe
headaches and nervous prostraton. I have
been very much relieved by the use Of the
whisky, aud have gained nearly seventeen
pounds in weight"

ABOUT LOOKING GLASSES.
Few Facts About Their History and

Looking glasses of old were highly
poLshed metal plates; they were small
ana provided with handle. Grand
ladies' lntrusted their mirrors to the care
OF female slave, whose duty it was to
keep them clean and free from stain or
rust, ana hand 1t to her mistress when
the latter required 1t.
Inc Chinese and Japanese formerly
USED mirrors made OF simple metallic
plate' Inc japanese had story OF the
InNeAtlon OF Inc mirror. The sun god

a great rage about something, and re-
tired to cavern, Vowing that she would
never come out again.
AS she was the Mother of Light her re-
urement put the whole earth in darkness.
The other gods and goddesSes did all they
| could to persuade her to come out again,
and finally invented mirror, which
they placed at the entrance of the cave.

whose beauty was equal TO her own,

felled her shattered the glass in the mir

PAGES like a Gagged animal outside in the
wind and storm, the frenzy of rage in his
veins pumping and throbbing.
MAY God forgive you; you have
killed her."
Bluout's aunt utters these words, a
tiny flower of humanity nesting in her
arms.
Stupid with remorse, the wretched
man kneels by the bedside of his dying
wife. Two young girls, whose faces are
red and swollen from weeping, kneel
opposite.
How could you imagine that letter
was for her? ' asked one, reproachfully.
We found it one day, the day of limo
glne's arrival, as we were passing along

With clenched hand the half-crazed
man strikes his forehead fiercely. Every
thing is clear to him now. How can he
undo the mischief wrought? Dare he
touch that form so still, so white, as the
pure soul passes away in gasps? Dare
he press those lips he loves so madly q?
The tears are running in a crooked
stream down his grief-distorted face.
His aunt leans toward him. ''Speak to
her," she whispers softly. perhaps she
may recognize you"
Humbly he arises and bends over her.
The closed eyelids fly open, and, with an
awful terror regard him shudderingly,
she presses closer against the pillow. In
silent misery he wrings his hands until
the bones crack.

A softer light begins to enter the pain
filled orbs.

He holds it out. crumpled and wet with
tears.
A puzzled glance, then Joyous change

Did she die? No, she lives and has

blossoms of humanity, which are rapidly
growing into sturdy little trees around
them. ALICE RoBERTsoN.
