10 the terrible conflict OF spiritual
powers, OF which the world is the arena,
Satan often wins the skirmish and God
the battle.-Charles Reade.
We cannot improve ourselves, we can
not assis; others. Se cannot do our duty
in the world, except by exertion, except
by unpopulsrity, except with annoyance,
except with care and difiiculty.--Dean

A WORD To MERCHANTS. Emphatic
ally this is an age both OF competition
and OF advertiser Z, and in the forward
rush to success only the shrewdest and
best can be counted on to win the great
prizes OF commerce. The merchant must
have good goods, and he must not let
people hesitate to know OF them. A
thousand avenues are open for the exer-
else of his ingenuity.
He may send out handbills; he may
hire Sandwich men"-peorle who per
ambuate the streets, their breasts and
backs adorned with placards OF their EN-
ployers; he may decorate fences aud
walls with posters, hang signs in street
cars, or ill the windows Of his shop with
attractive displays, but If he desires to
get good value" for his money he will
place his largest investment in printers
ink. Where any other device attracts
ten, the judiciously worded, neatly ar
ranged newspaper advertisement will re-
ceive the attention Of 100.
Often the merchant who doesn't ad-
vertise has to close his doors and hand
bis effects over to creditors. Such an
experience is a rarity for the man who
combines the knowledge OF how to make
people aware that he has for sale the
things they want.
Judicious liberality is the best economy
in trade, and honest wares, honestly ad.
vertised and honestly sold, bring the
dealer popular confidence, financial com
petence and personal content. Boston

Mrs. CLEvELANp's VIEWS. Mrs. Cleve.
land has been interviewed by Boston
Globe correspondent as to how girls
should be educated. II the small Rlth
and Esther are brought up according to
their mothers expressed opinion they will
be taught above all everything that is
possible to know about home duties.
81 do not mean" said Mrs Cleveland,
THAT they should necessarily be made to
scrub floors or go into the kitchen to
scour pots and pans. | think il girl
enjoys thorough opportunities Of observ-
ing her mothers methods Of managing
domestic affairs she will acquire all that
is necessary for the mistress of honse-
hold to know about such matters. OF
purely ornamental education | think a
knowledge of the modern languages
highly advantageous, as European travel
is now very general, and the pleasure Of a
trip abroad is greatly heightened If one
knows something Of the languages of the
different countries visited"

WELL KNOWN HERE.-The unfortunate
victim Of the following tragic accident
was at one time well known in North
Yakima and Ellensburgh, in each OF
which places he made many friends.
Last Fridays's Oregonian says: "While
hunting birds on the farm of N. II.
Looney, near jefferson. w. j. Dyer was
accidentally killed. In company with
one of Mr.. Looney's little sons, he went
home. Mr.. Dyer not returning in time,
search was instituted and his body
found near fence. One barrel of the
gun was cooked. and IL is supposed that
in climbing the fence with the gun at full
cock, it slipped and one barrel was dis
charged, the load striking the unfortun-
ate man in the back OF the head, near the
base OF the brain, and lodging in the
skull OF the forehead. Mr.. Dyer was
son-in law Of s. A. Clarke, OF Salem,
having married Sarah Clarke few years
ago. He was also brother. In law of
Mrs. N. ii. Looney. He was buried at
Salem"
A YouSG SIsNER-"Pa, was Abraham
a woman2"
mo, my son, he was a mana God
fearing man."
"Was Lazarus man, too?"
Certainly"
Preachers don't josh, do they?"
Not often; then only in an innocent
way, but"
"Nor lie, either?"
"Of course not-what in the name OF
common sense do you mean by asking all
these strange questions ?"
"Cause | don't see what fun it would
be for Lazarus to nestle IN Abraham's
bosom"
And as the pious pa began making
preparations to maui a little biblical
knowledge into his inquisitive offspring
the kid made good his escape and was
soon explaining the mysteries OF Holy
Writ TO his side partner.
