"slops and other refuse into vine-
gar is not a sign of economy, but
poor Judgment, and it is practice
that is as uncleanly as it is uncalled
for. Surely even the most poverty
stricken can have vinegar without
making it of slops, or if they cannot
then they ought to be supplied by
charity, for only vinegar made from
clean, sound apples ought ever to be
found on the table. Some.day it is
to be hoped that common sense will
point out that half of our diphtheria
and typhoid fever comes from the
kitchen.

that matter, it is grave error to sup
pose that money can itself make you
happy without the possession of other
qualities which will enable you to
enjoy it and do good with it.
The business of the world is closely
related to the progress of the world.
1t is noble calling that of the busi-
ness man, and one which God looks
upon with tender regard. Money
and philanthropy are twins, born of
the same good mother, two children
of beauty and grace. The merchants
work is just as Providential as that
of the clergyman, and his mission, if
he rightly understands it, is just as
important. 1.-THE consecrating hands
of the Holy Spirit are laid on the
head of the preacher and he is thus
devoted to a special task, so are the
same hands laid in equal conservation
on the head of a young man who
starts on a business career, and he is
laid under solemn obligations to be
useful to his fellows. That is truth
which cannot be too keenly apprecia-
ted. We cannot get along without
money making, and the one thing we
insist on, therefore, is that the money
makers shall be honest in their deal
ings and keep their consciousness in
good trim.
More than that, the business man
breaches the gospel of rectitude more
effectively than the clergy can do it.
A noble deed is better than O noble
word. The word may incite to the
deed, but when we get to heaven the
merchant who has led pure life will
occupy as high place as the minister
who told him how to do it. George
Peabody's life outweighs the sermons
of century. Such man talks to
the whole race, and his voice is not
hushed when he dies. As the light
of distant star floods the earth long
after the star itself has been extin.
guished, so the uprigbtness and integ.
rity of the merchant exert untold in.
fuence long after sorrowing people
have laid him in his resting place.
This, then, is the advice we offer
Let your ambition run high and seel
its realization by hard work, but re
member that it is mans soul anc
not his pocketbook which goes t.
heaven. You can get on withou
riches if need be, but you cannot ge
on without clean concience. Max,
money, but do not worship it. Pa,
a good price for it, but not more thai
| it is worth. Honest dollars hurt n,
one, but dishonest gains are a con
surnfng fire.

Little People Who Live Little
Lives.


When thou vast little in thine own sight
I. Samuel XIV. II.
If you happen to be strolling
through the fields at this time of
year you are more than likely to run
upon a bed of violets at the foot of a
maple tree in some obscure corner
No other eyes than yours have ever
seen them, and no other eyes, per-
baps, will ever see them again, for in
few days their little lives will be
ended and they will have withered.
They have their mission, neverthe-
less, and who shall say that it is un-
important? They are fashioned in
beauty; their slender stems bend
with grace to the passing breeze; the
conical leaves are of an exquisite
shade of green, and the purple petals
are painted with skill which no
artist can borrow. He who was at
the pains to create them was. not
without purpose in that. act. He
had a plan for this witda1violet, on
which He bestowed n6 perfume, as
well as for the honeysuakle, which
fills the cir. with fragrance. And if
it blossoms with fidelity and dies
with resignation, as much credit may
be accorded to it as will be given to
The imperious oak, or the stately elm,
which attracts the attention of every
traveller.
Iiyou were learned in the language
offowers you might kneel on the sod
and hear the complaint of some dis
contented violet. II am of no con.
sequence" it might say in despair
"and wonder why [ was made. Nc
one knows or cares that I am here
] live, / die; that is all the story
have to relate. No one is better fol
my coming and no one will miss me
when / CO."
And yet it is possible that that bee
of violets, blossoming and witherine
under the maple, and upon which
you have CHANGED in your aimles'
stroll, has set you upon serious
thoughts. It is an epitome of the
universe, as far beyond the reach O
your power to make as blazing Arc
turur in the evening sky, It is clev
to a thousand mysteries, and all un
consciously to itself it may lead yol
up the spiral staircase of logic unit
you lie revesent and PROSTATE in tn
awful presence of Deity.
The violet is q type of humanity
We, too, wonder why we are here
We are SO small, so Insignificant; W
can do so little; we are SO slenderl
gifted; we live such narrow lives an,
have such meagre influence that W
are overwhelmed with disappoins
ment. What does it mean and wba
does it all amount to? A thousan,
times we ask the question, and sc
no answer If we had conspicuou
ability, could sing some song tha
would be remembered, or paint som
picture that would be hung in th
galleries of the future, or do som
deed that would leave our name as
heritage, our lot would be plainl
desirable. Orif, with lower ambition
We could affect the lives of thos
within the circle of our acquaintance

plness in some essential way, W
should feel that there was a purpos

Thirty Years Protection.
The Springfield (Mo.) Democrat
thus reviews the histroy of high pro-


thus reviews the histroy of high pro-
lection:
"Thirty years ago the Republican
party asked for high protection
They got got it. Then they wanted
higher protection, and they got it;
and thus they continued until the
act of 1890 impose upon the country
the highest protective tariff ever
known. First it WAS for the purpose
of protecting infant industries; then
it was for the benefit of the American
laboring man; and finally the mask
was thrown off and it was for the
benefit of the manufacturers and of
capital. More than a. quarter of
century has passed since the inaugu-
ration of the policy. If it was a bles-
sing to the poor man and to the coun-
try it is high time the fruits began
to appear.
"But what do we see? Where are
the happy homes and the contented
laboring man? What of the high
wages and steady employment to the
mechanic? Where is the ready mar
ket for the produce of the farmer and
the advanced price of his land? From
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
the lakes to the gulf, in city town
and country, industry languishes and
hordes of unemployed are to be seen.
True the few who constitute the class
for whose benefit protective legisla-
ton was enacted have become multi
millionaires, but for the masses
almost universal stagnation has
reighed, eliminating 10 the panic of
the past twelve months. And this
constant and continued depression
has gone forward under the high pro-
tective laws originated and executed
by the Republican party. Not until
the Democracy, at the recent session
of congress, after an unprecedented
struggle succeed in partially reform.

relief appear on the business horizon

as heretofore, impose the whole upor

US sinking at the heart and we grow
weary and respondent.
How many of us have passed
through this experience and reached
the conclusion that we are of no
value! How many of us have
thoughtfully summed up our lives
and painfully declared to ourselves
that we count for nothing!
But such sighs are based on a mis-
take. We misinterpret God. and are
therefore led astray. We have a plan
OF our own and wonder why the AL
mighty does not make His world to
conform to it, instead of seeking His
plan and persuaaing our wills to con-
form to that.
In the universe as constituted by
Him the humble positions are vastly
in the majority. We are neither ex-
pected nor asked to do much, but to
do little and do it well. It is not
demanded of US that we shall stamp
our characters on generation, since
the ability to do so has not been
given, bat if we keep our narrow
house in order, greet the small duties
of each coming day with cheerfulness,
throw kindly word to the passerby,
drop penny into the beggar's hat
and maintain the calm serenity of a
contented heart, the evening shadows
will not fail to bring us our reward.
There is but one Niagara, but on
every hillside is ripping rill AS
much credit is due to the rivulet that
sings as to the cataract that roars-
neither more nor less. Each was
made for specific purpose, and each
must accomplish that purpose. The
riyulet has no right to complain, the
cataract no right to be proud. Not
ability, but excellence, determines
the measure of merit.
Only Richard could WELD a sword
six feet long, but victory in the battle
did not depend so much on Richards
sword as on the arrows of his brave
army. He could work miracles OF

but after all it was the rank and file
