The cashier from his desk dreams Of
a palace, of horses and carriages, and
the cottage by the sea, a magnificent
mansion in the city. He is not will
ing to obtain his money by the slow
process of work. Ec believes that
lie can stake certain sum and Win:
with the turn of the wheel of fortune
can be rich in q day. He stake
other peoples money, and the result
is crime. These crimes are but SIM
ply eccentric and aesthetic develop
ments of the older crimes against
person founded on the same princi-
pie.
A highw lyman is highwayman
because he determines to be rich sud
denly. The burglar is burglar be-
cause he desires to get rich in a night.
And the murderer destroys his victims
for his money because he desires to be
rich Immediately. Highway robbery,
burglary, murder for money, are the
original brutal elements out of which
the more aesthetic modern develop
ments of hasty riches have sprung.
It is this mania that leads to thou.
sand crimes today egaiHast society.
Thedi7e, the e gambling den, saloon the
the brothel, have as their fundamen-
tai inspiration the desire for sudden
riches. There are individual idiosyn-
cracies that develop them, but
there are thousands Of lives drawn
to this whirlpool Of vice and crime by
the attractive power of the evil eye OF
money. A man believes that he can
become rich rapidly by keeping a
saloon. He is willing to trade in hui
man hearts and human blood to &C
complish that purpose. A man is
willing to debauch his fellow man in
a gambling hell, believing that he
may suddenly acquire great for
tune.

THE LOVE OF MONEY.
REV. THjMAS D!X0N'S SEIC.D
SERMON Oh MONEY AND
CHRISTIANITY.

It is Not Money, but the Undue Love
of 1t. Which is the Great Evil
Heartless Proverbs Of Hard
Hearted Money Seekers-Murder-
ers in Trade.
Cape Charles, Va, July 9.-Rev.
Thomas Dixon, Jr., preached on
Cobb's island today the second SER
mon in the series on the question Of
money and its relation to the gospel
of Christ. The proprietors of the
hotel on the island have arranged
schedule of three boats on Sundays
to convey the people from the main
land to the island to attend the SER
vices. The text chosen for the dis
course today was the proyerb: 'He
that hath an evil. eye hasteth after
riches" the specific subject being the
Money Mania"
It is not a sin to be rich if our
riches are righteously obtained;
And yet a thousand dangers heset
the man who sets ont with the de-
termination to I've rich. 1t is easier
for camel to 80 through the eye OF
needle than for a rich man to en-
ter the kingdom of heaven. He ia
almost sure to reach the crisis in his
experience when he will say, "Soul,
take thine ease; I have much goods
laid up for thee in store" and enter
upon 2 downward course from that
moment: The determination to get
rich at all hazards may be termed a
modern disease. It is money
mania. It is the evil eye of the clos
ing days of this century. 1t has
thrown it's spell over millions. It
is disease which sweeps before it
the whole nature OF man, that lays
waste not only the iairest hearts and
what might be the fairest homes,
but that lays waste what might be
the gardens of the nations. It is
this modern disease of the evil eye
Of haste for riches that is ags q sbs sbls

First-Tt denies and abrogatss the
paramount law of industry. In the
sweat of mans brow shall he eat
bread, decreed the eternal God,
echoed the eternal nature: And yet
men in modern times nave said they
will do nothing Of the sort. They
will eat bread without labor. They
will eat bread by trick, by chicanery,
by overreaching, by swindling, by
cheating, by humbug. This abroga-
ton of the paremoupt law Of indus
try brings US face to face with the
submerged millions in the industrial
world, with the countless thousands
and hundreds of thousands who cry
for bread, who are caught in the
vicious undertow Of this angry sea OF
human avarice and are dragged to
the bottom Of the deepest sea of hu-
man misery. In the mildest develop
ments of this mania it is simply gam,
bling, and its necessary corollaries
are hard times, panics and the pell,
odical disturbances of the industrial
world which rasult in thousands o1
wrecks.

THE BEST MAN.

THE BEST MAN. ..
Third-This mania as it grows in
men emphasizes and develops all
that is central in self. It necessarily
makes man mean and selfish. It
causes man to enter his hearts
affection upon that one thing. He
esteems that to be his treasure, Of
life. a ;
there will his heart be also. It
will harden and make mean the
poor man who is afflicted with the
mania as well as the rich who have
gone beyond the hope Of recovery.
I heard of an old farmer in Maine
who sent son into the war. He
was killed in battle. The old man
afterward expressed his regrets.
He said that he had made great
mistake; that he ought to have had
substitute. He said that he could
not get man anywhere IN the coun-
try to do as much work on the farm
as that boy and that he was the
smallest eater ne ever saw.
An old man who had emphasized
this thought in his life above all
others went to a meat market and de-
cided to content himself with bone
for soup. He asked the market man
"a big, fat. Dutchman, jolly and
good natured-the price Of a bone
which he eyed wistfully. The mar
ket man told him nothing at all; take
the bone along if he wanted it. The
old man who was o little hard Of
hearing, put his hand to his ear
and asked. "Cannot you knock off a
little?" The market man laughing
ingly replied, eyes, he would take
10 cents for it," The old man paid
the dime and went away chuck
ling over his great bargain. 1t is
necessarily true that as we develop
this principle in life we overreach
ourselves. The attempt to develop
self is sure in the process to destroy
self.
Fourth-This mania surely and
| thoroughly destroys Christian life.
The man afflicted with it begins at
once to cultivate these delightful
notices, old but awful in their mean
ing:
Dog eat dog"
Devil take care of the hindmost.
"Business is business"
"The best man is the man that
gets there"
"Resolved, That we will love our,
selves as our neighbor loves himself
and we will make it hot for any man
than tries to outdo us in this labor Of
love-"
He prays only that familiar prayer
| "Lord bless me and my wife, my SOL
| John. his wife, US four and no more.
| A man died the other day in the
fellowship of a Christian church
He possessed millions, but he wrote
that prayer out in his will when he
| left the earth: Lord, bless me anc
nv wife, my SON John and Lis wife
we four and no more. Amen. The
devil take care of the balance.
CORNER IN CROWNS.
I do not know what a man wht
makes this principle the ruling on'
of his lite will do if he ever gets t,

men who love money, who thinl
money, who breathe money, are go

Oranges for the Complexion.

If the following from the St. Louis
Globe Democrat, could by any means
be borne in upon the minds of the
ladies of the United States, it would
boom the orange business beyond the
widest imagination of the most SAN
guine orange planter in Shasta
County. We suggest that orange
shippers print this on a neat card and
put half dozen into every box Of
oranges sent to market.
While the allowance seems a little
liberal for ladies with anything like
normal appetites, it is quite possible
that for the complexion's sake they
would diligently make the effort to
reach the Globe-Democrat's" figures
and thereby subserve the ends of the
orange grower in marked degree.
The Missouri paper says:
mo sort of food is better for the
complexion than oatmeal and oranges
The finest compilations in the world
are those of the Italian and Spanish
ladies, who live largely on coarse
grained food and fruit like the
orange and banana 1t is said that
the fact is becoming appreciated, and
that some ladies, to acquire and pre-
serve good complexion. are living
almost entirely on oranges. Half a
dozen for breakfast, with a cup Of
coffee; a dozen for lunch, with glass
of milk and saucer of oatmeal, and
a dozen more for supper, with crust
of bread and sip of tea, may not be
high living in the proper sense of the
word. but such course of diet will
bring a complexion Of peach and
ivory which will drive almost any
belle out Of her head with envy

Two Kinds of Thirst.

Thirst is simply a sensation by
which lack of fluids in the system
is made known, and in a state of
health it is generally faithful indi-
cation Of the wants of the body.
Natural thirst, which must be dis
tinguished from the thirst caused by
stimulating foods and drinks or by
fever, is first indicated by peculiar
dryneSS of the mouth and fauces,
caused by failure of the pharyngeal
mem brane to secrete a due amount
of liquids, but if fluids were to be in
PRODUCED directly into the stomach
through a tube, and not by way
of the fauces-aS has been done in
some unusual cases-the immediate
absorption thereof instantly allays
the sense of thirst. from which it has
been supposed that the sensation of
thirst is in the nerves of the stomach
and that the throat sensation is a
kind of reflex action.
However, this theory cannot be
fully accepted, thirst being a sensa-
tion caused by the general want
which can be supplied through the
blood vessels, the rectum, or the skin,
as well as through the stomach or
throat The eXalations from the
lungs and skin and the kidney and
other secretions are affected princi-
pally at the expense of water in the
blood, which must be restored to it's
normal amount or intense general
suffering follows. A sudden loss of
blood by the lancet or from wound,
or a rapid drain on the vascular sys-
tenn, as in cholera or diabetes, also
causes the intense sensation of thirst
The thirst Of fever, on the other
hand, is not caused by the lack of
fluids in the system, but by the dry
ness of the throat, mouth and skin,
caused by the unnaturally high tenn
perature of the blood. Chicago Inter

the Cleveland Leader. The appended
disquisition is offered as a sample oil
the latter. 1t came from. an occa
sion contributor who has more than
once proved that he has remarkably
keen eve for eceentricities in the ami
NAL kingdom. His latest contribu.
tion to natural science, which be
calls Chicken Authorizations is as
follows:
"a very peculiar phase of chicken
menta. phenomena was shown me to.
day. visited by request some farms
east Of Ashland, Ohio, and on ap.
preaching the farm barnyard and
poultry house heard a chorus OF chick.
ems cackIing that was composed OF
both hens and ROSTERS cackling as if
they had laid double-yelk eggs apiece,
but many had beeu cackling so long
that they were voicing a dying cackle,
and many had died in the continuous
effort to cackle externally, and their
ghosts seem to cackle, for they were
Stiff IN death and in a cackling atti-
tude. 1t seems to be a disease that
is peculiar to chickens and very con-
tagious. They cackle violently all
day and 60 to roost at night still
cackling, and then cackle ali night
long, and so continue the next day as
long as they are able to make a noise,
and their last caekGng is 50 sepulchrall
and so modulated by weakness and
death that the dead ones make a re-
frain that will never leave my ears.
They live from twenty-four to thirty
six hours, according to the strength
of the chicken and the violence of it's
ESTATE emotions. They appear to
die in an old-fashioned campmeeting
trance and I expect to see the seeming
ly dead ones come to life and cackle
what they had seen and felt in their
trance, but 1 left before they came out
of their hYnotic state, it it was not
death. Their combs became ex-
tremely red, as those of laying hens
always do. They never seem to sing;
it is always a cackle, an overpower-
ing hallucination, acting as if they
had just laid an egg; and like old
hunters and old soldiers and all love-
feast sisters, they never tire of tell
ing what they have done and seen.
They seem to want to die a-shouting
and cackling about the egg they
have never laid.
