Saving Fund Versus Bank.

The New York Recorder tells story
of a young man who was induced to join
a loan association, although somewhat
skeptical of their merits. He resolved
as a test to put by $40 a month in the
loan association and similar sum each
month in savings bank. AT the end Of
10 years he balanced his cash and found
that he had 81, 500 to his credit in the
association and only 81 in the bank.
This is accounted for by two circum-
stances, one being the dread of fines if
delinquent in the association, the other
being that the book value of his associ-
alton stock was always so far ahead of
the savings bank account that when he
wished to eXpend any money he found
it much less expensive to draw it out of
the bank, hence would not disturb his
shares in the association

A BLIND STUDENT.
A Remarkable Young Man Who Is Securing
an Education at Harvard.

an Education at Harvard.
Although completely blind, Everett
Chauncy Bumpus of Quincy, Mass, is
now member of the freshman class of
Harvard university and intends to take
the full four years course and obtain
his degree of A. B. at the close.
He is only 20 years old now and has
been totally blind since he was years
old. He was deprived of his sight by
spinal meningitis. There is hardly a
brighter young man in the freshman
class than this member who has to de-
pend almost entirely upon remembering
what is read to him and by debating
to others to work his way through the
course.
Before he entered Harvard all of the
blind students textbooks were special
ly prepared for him on the Braille sys-
tenn, instead Of the older plan of raised
letters. 1t is much more convenient to
read, and it can be read much quicker
The typewriter, too, on which he does
most of his writing is made expressly
with reference to this system.
He has given up now, however, near
ly all the appliances made especially for
the blind, except his typewriter. He de-
pends almost entirely upon having his
exercises read to him. His course is in
Latin, French, English, Italian, Greek
and German-what may be termed a
literary course, as he is studying it with
a view to becoming journalist. Later
on in the course he will give his atten-
tion to history, philosophy and political
economy.-New York Herald.

The MASTER PASSION.
Alleged to Re the Mania For Getting Free
Passes For the Play.

Alleged to re the Mania For Getting Free
Passes For the Play.
'I was once present." said Charles
Dickens, sat a social discussion which
originated by chance. The subject was,
What was the most absorbing and long
est lived passion in the human breast?
What was the passion so powerful that
1t would almost induce the generous to
be mean, tht careless to be cautious, the
guileless to I've deeply designing and the
dove to emulate the serpent?' A daily
editor of vast experience and great
acuteness, who was one of the company,
considerably surprised Us by saying,
with the greatest confidence, that the
passion in question was the passion of
getting orders for the play. There had
recently been terrible shipwreck, and
very few of the surviving sailors had
escaped in an open boat.
lone of these ON making land came
straight to London and straight to the
newspaper Office with his story of how
he had seen the ship go down before
his eyes. That young man had witness
ed the most terrible contention between
the powers C4 fire and water for the de-
struction of that ship and of every one
ON board He had rowed away among
the floating dying and the sinking dead.
He had foated by day, and he had fro
zen by night, with no shelter and no
food, and as he told his dismal tale he
rolled his haggard eyes about the room.
"When he had finished and the tale
had been noted down from his lips, he
was cheered and refreshed and soothed
and asked if anything could be done
for him. Even within him that master
passion was so strong that he immedi-
ately replied that he should like an or
Ter for the play. My friend, the editor,
certainly thought that was rather a
strong case, but he said that during his
many years of experience he had wit
messed an incurable amount of self pros
tration and abasement having no other
object and that almost invariably ON the
part of people who could well afford to
pay. "-Exchange.

A Boys $500 Copybook.

The express agent at Ogdensburg lost
a book OF money orders that had been

was of no avail. Finally it was learned

Proof That sparrows Can Count.

There is no doubt but that birds can
count, and an incident I witnessed sew
eral years ago illustrating this fact
amused me not little. A sparrow, with
four of her young, had nest in spar
row house under the veranda Of my
dwelling. One day the old bird flew up
to the. nest with four living worms III

out their heads with the customary
noise and were each fed a worm. The
sparrow then flew away, and after til e

IMPORTANT Information For Girls,

Blue eyed men are the most senti-
mental Of the species. At least this is
what an eminent physiognomist says.
They are peculiarly susceptible to the
influence of the opposite sex, melt under
the warmth Of one ardent glance, have
emotional, mercurial affections and are
found by the coquettes to be easier game
to bag than to ohold.-American Woman.

War in the East.

War has been declared between Japan
and China. and it is all about the protection
of Japanese business interest in Corea.
Corea is a little government of about 8 ,OOO,-
900 people, occupying peninsula, bounded
on the north by China, on the west by the
Yellow Sea and on the east by the Sea of
japan. In extent it is about twice as large as
Pennsylvania In the preliminary conflicts
the Japanese have had the best OF it, but
China must eventually triumph if the war
is continued, as she has ten-fold greater
population. Russia and England have an
interest in the matter, and it would not be
surprising if the war should suddenly cease
and the differences be settled by peaceful
arbitration.

No Agreement on the Tariff.

The Senate and House conference com
mittee to adjust the points of difference on
a tariff bill have not yet reached an agree
ment. Their proceedings are kept secret,
bat the daily press correspondents are
writing up long letters daily on the subject,
scarcely any two agreeing. The letters
bear color Of the position Of the papers
they represent, and are absolutely worth
less as conveying trustworthy information.
Meanwhile the press and the public are
generous in their opinions for and against
each tariff bill and are working themselves
into i useless state of excitement.

For the Advocate
More Facts for the Farmers.

The present condition of the public mind in re-
gard to the pernicous doctrine of paernalism is the
last thirty odd years. and is the natural and only
result of the doctrine of protection socaed, which
use OF which was so cunningly devised by its advo-
Gates with the sole purpose of deceiving the masses
idea of anyone having the right to demand support
for businesshe chooses TO embark in from his fellow
citizen is too absurd to argue; nevertheless tariff
protection as IL is called amounts to nothing more
nor less. Calm reflection can bring about no other
opinion and the argument of the perpetrators OF
this fraud that il Is for the benefit Of the working
man. the strikes and the reduction of wages during
the time of the existence of high tariffs stamp the
lie on its face. The Coxeyites demanding emoln-
ment from the government for selfchosen labor a.
followed by the Popuists camor for issuing indis-
criminately promises to pay money. TO whom
without additional tax burdens? Farmers lust
think of such state of facts and how long 1t viii
take to disabuse the public mind of these perncious
doctrines necessarily brought forward only to de-
eeive. and to crafty the selfish advocates of it.
Imagine the merchants of q little town combining
together 10 send to the Legislature OF the state sucn
political agents and tools who would have passed
for them law compelling the farmers of their COM
munity to buy only from them and the penalty for
not doing so and their making of freeman's
right TO purchase elsewhere. being big tax upon
whatever they presume TO buy as soon as brought
home. And that would be called by these benevo-
lent merchants protection. Now whom did ii pro-
tect? The farmer sells where he can get the best
price and where the only demand is, and IL he had
the same liberty TO buy TO his advantage he would
not have much cause TO complain As IL is these
protective manufacturers have a rope around his
neck, and a mortgage on his pocket book for their
selfish ends and blind him by telling him he is
benefting the workingman. When these facts are
brought home as hereby illustrated it may well
cause surprise and reflection, but at the same time
it is the state of things in operation the entire
country which is so vast as TO cause an oversight of
this stupendous fraud upon the agricultural COM
munity in particular, but reaching all. Think OF
the agricultural implement selling their wares
40 per cent less in foreign countries than 10 our own
hard working farmers. Put this in your pipe and
smoke it.
