GEORGE WAsHINGToN)
RENIAMIN HARRISON.

BENJAMIN dARRlSON.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, in bis fare
we'll address, said: "Avoid the neces-
sity of those overgrown military estab-
lishments, which, under any form of
government, are inauspicious to liber-
ty, and which are to regarded as parti-
cuIarly hostile to Republican Liberty"
Again, "against the insidious wiles of
foreign influence Il conjure you to be-
lieve me, fellow-citiZens,) the jealousy
of q free people ought to be constantly
awake; since history and experience
brove that foreign influence is one of
the most baneful foes of Republican
government,
BENJAMIN HARRISON says /: "Noth-
ing will 80 much aid to enlarge our
State militia and to give it efficiency
and character as the plan proposed.
The military taste and training acquir-
ed in the school will carry our best
young men into military organizations,
and make those organizations reliable
conservators of public order, ahd ready
and competent defenders of the ma.
tional honor"
Certainly President Harrison's ad-
dress is directly opposite President
Washington's. If he knows any rea-
sons, either at home or abroad, why the
school boys and Boys Brigades and
Epworth Leagues should drill and
arm, he should inform the public; if
not, he should encourage them in the
Washingtonian ways. Has he infor.

ing this European craze for arming,
which is taking hold. Of the United

Thackeray somewhere warns young
people that the world is looking
glass, and will return such looks,
whether of sweetness or sourness, as
they cast into it. This is recalled by
the following suggestive passage which
q secular paper furnishes:
"There are many plain young girls
whose faces are lined with discomfort
and unhappiness. There is drawn,
perpleXed expression between the
eyes, and the corners of the mouth
have decided droop. These are the
girls who have a settled idea that they
are plain beyond remedy, and the dis
tressing belief has deepened the lines of
dissatisfaction but in reality there is
only cloud over the face, cast by the
habit of unhappiness.
zone morning q certain girl whose
face was under this cloud walked out
across the sunshine of the common.
For moment the gloom had lifted in,
the lightness of the morning and her
thoughts were unusually pleasant.
"'Whata pretty, happy girl that 10
we have just passed." she heard one o
the two ladies passing say to the
other.
"She looked quickly around, with
envy in her heart, to see the pretty
girl, but she was the only girl in
sight.
''Why, they mean me! No one eyer
called me pretty before! 1t must be
because am smiling"
"Again, as she was getting on a
horse car she heard (the fates were out
in her favor: DO see that pretty
looking girl /!
"tWell, declare, am always 60
ing to look happy if this is what comes
of it! have been called homely all
my life, and here twice in one day I've
been called pretty
From that memorable day new
beauty has graced her social circle"

Our best blessings fail of appreciation

Our best blessings fail of appreciation
by us because of their very common
ness. Only when some temporary in
Permission of their benefcent infiu-
ence brings to our mind a sense of their
real value, do we see them as they are.
1t is when we are sick that we realize
how good ordinary health is. If we
lose our breath for a single minute
during some spasmodic construction OF
the throat we have fuller knowledge
Of the blessedness of breathing, in
those sixty burdened seconds, than we
have gained in six years of uninter-
rupted lung power. When we are
away from home, we see home In
new light. A temporary estrange-
ment from dear friend gives to US a
fresh consciousness of the worth of the
friendship that now seems imperiled.
So of all the blessings that we owe
most to. A little boy lay sick at
home while his mother was away.
She mad been sent for, but the hours
dragged wearily while he waited for
her. By and by, after a troubled
sleep, the little fellow opened his eyes
to see his mothers loving face bent ov-
er him. Throwing bis tired arms
around he neck, he drew her down to
him, with the whispered word from
his overf1owing heart, Mothers are
great ~ Yes, mothers are great; and
the boys and girls who do not realize
this while their mothers are near them
will realize it by and by, when III their
loneliness they reach out their arms
after "mother," without finding the
dear neck to clasp and the loved face
to kiss once more. IS S Times.

Curiosity.

ELLEN Smell has more curiosity than
any girl ever saw "That's good,'
said Aunt Nancy, promptly.
"Good! Why-Aunt Nancy"
"Certainly it's good. How in the
world is a girl to know anything with
out curiosity ?-or boy ether"
"But she opens her mothers notes
and listens at doors, "and-"
"Oh! that! The trouble isn't curl
osity, then: it's the girl. ! think
curiosity is good deal abused. When
people want to pry into other folks
affairs, against the golden rule and
common decency, it's called curiosity.
Well, it may be one kind. There's
two kinds of most everything, sweet
or sour fruit, for instance. But the
right kind of curiosity is good thing,
and people never seem TO think OF
thot. When poor old Widow Bur-
rows smoke doesn't come out of her
chimney, / know something's the
matter. Shall leave her all alone in
the house to die when her boy is away,
or 60 over to inquire into it,"
But, Aunt Nancy, that is interest,
isn't it?"
"Why, her neighbor, Gray, doesn't
think so. She says, i saw the smoke
wasn't coming out of Mrs. Burrows
chimney, but 1 didn't like to intrude;
some people are too curious about their
neighbor's affairs. Don't you think
SOP"
"Intrude Satan Keeps more good
people apart from each other with that
word than any other | know. If you
see any girl or boy in trouble and don't
want to bother with them, call it laZi-
ness, and don't hide under 'intrude ~
AS for Ellen Snell's curiosity, when
Gods grace has changed her heart, it
will be fine thing"

Taking Him Down.

A good story is told by the London
World of purse-proud old lnobleman
who was travelling through the rural
districts of Sweden. In that country
evidently the people do not have quite
as much respect for the titled aristo-
cracy as in some other localities on the
continent.
One day the nobleman came rolling
up to country tavern, and as he
stopped his carriage he called out in
All imperious tone:
Horses, landlord-horses at once"
am very much panied to inform
you that you will have to wait over an
hour before fresh horses can he brought
up" replied the landlord, calmly.
"How ~ violently exclaimed the
nobleman. "This to me! My. man, /
demand horses Immediately"
Then observing the fresh, sleek
looking ones being led up to another
carriage, he continued:
"For whom are those horses 2"
They are ordered for this gentle
man." replied the landlord, pointing
to tall, slim individual few PAGES
distant.
"I say. my man." called out the
nobleman, twill you let me have those
horses if pay you liberal bonus?"
"Perhaps you are not aware who l
am" roared the now thoroughly agi-
tated and irate' nobleman. "I am,
sir, Field marshal Baron George
Spare, the last and only one of my
race"
II am very glad to hear that" said
the slim man. stepping into his car
riage. 1t would be terrible thing to
think that there might be more of you
coming. lam inclined to think that
your race will be foot race"
The slim man was the King of
Sweden

Gently devoted several of it's columns

degree, is open to the same objections
as alcohol drinking. 1t increases the

Boys and Boys Ways.

"Watch that boy now" said Phil.
(which boy?' said Ned.
"That boy who was at play with us

He knows how to look out for himself,

Phil and Ned, with their parents,
had been spending some time at the
seaside. Will was boy who had
come to pass the evening in the parlor
of the boarding house. Here it was
that Phil and Ned saw Will taking a
great deal of pains to find good
place. :,
First, he hal noticed a large book
full of pictures on the table. After
looking at it for efew minutes, he had
hunted outa large easy chair, and was
tugging at it to get it to the table.
There, he's got it squared round
Just to suit him." laughed Ned.
"Now he's moving the lamp nearer
it," said Phil. -,
"And-well, if I ever! if he isn't
putting footstool before it. I Isuppose
he's all ready to enjoy it."
1t was plain that Will was. With a
pleased look he gazed around the room
until he caught sight of lady who
was standing. He darted toward her,
and said
"Come, mamma, l have nice place
for you"
He led her to the chair, and settled
the stool to. her feet as she sat
down.
Phil and Ned looked little foolish.
Presently Phil sprang out of his chair
as his mother came near.
Mamma, take my chair" he
said
Ned stepped quickly to pick up a
handkerchief which lady had drop
ped, and returned with bow.
They are wise boys who profit by u
gracious lesson given by true gentle
man.

It is not curious, but it is a fact that

ply II concur" written by Associate
Justice MCGOWAN on the back of the
opinion of Chief Justice Mc1ver.
No man can count or fOreteu what
those two words mean to the people of
a whole State what will be their ef-
feet on the more than one million pop
ulation; how many days of sorrow
and suffering they will cause; how
many men will fill the graves OF
drunkards because they were written
how many fights and how much blood
shed will be the consequence of them.
Two short words of the Engli SD
language have changed the whole
course of a State government have
thrown hundreds Of people out OF em-
ployment and have made portion OF
the State a laughing stock and a puZ-
Zle which is harder to solve than any
ever presented 20 an enlightened pub
lie.
Two words have put all the lawyers
to pulling each others hair, metaphori-
cally speaking, and have set the mum
icipal administrations against each
other. They have made men scratch
their own heads and want to smash
the heads of other men. They have
given the policemen of the cities and
towns something to do and have open
ed the opportunity for many young
man to drink whiskey, play cards and
pool and billiards.
A thousand and one things could be
given as the effect of these two small
words, and it is safe to say that no two
words have ever been written, unless
in times of war, which have had the
bearing on so many people as those
mentioned.-Columbia Register.

SKATING RACES.
Some Big Events TO Take Place ir
New York.

New YORK. Dec. 28.-The advent OF
King Frost finds the officials of the
National Amateur Skating Association on
the alert with the programme for the an
nual championship already prepared.
Warned by their adverse experiences of
the past two winters, they have taken
time by The forelOck and fixed Saturday.
January 10, as the date for the big event.
The place selected for the sport is
Grange Lake. near Newburgh. n. Y. The
one mile, five and ten miles. None Of the
events came off last winter on account of
no suitable ice al Red Bank, n. J.
In the 1893 series al Red Bank, Howard
Mosher of Storm King, n. Y, went 44O
yards, and he is in training hard to retain
his title. He is having all the skating
necessary on Orange Lake as we'll as all
the racing needed to get him on edge.
he had a lively experience with Jem
Donoghue recently In a match for a 500
medal. The distance chosen was 90
yards 10 be covered three times. Donog-
hue took two heats out of the three and
the medal, but Moshier fell when leading
in one heat, ana the pair will meet again
under the same conditions next New
Years.
The other entries expected for the 40
yard championship are: Jem and Joe
Donoghue Of Newburgh. N. Y, C. W.
Clark of Storm King, W. D. Douglass of
New YORK, S. NJ. Phillips OF New York
and John S. johnson. The last named
has written expressing his wish to enter
for ali the events.
Nothing has been heard from Johnson's
skating side-partner, Rudd, who quietly
gathered in the one-mile champion ship in
1898. while Joe Donoghue and johnson
were watching each other. Even if the
holder does not turn up the race is bound
TO be a clinker between the other pair.
The five and ten mile races will find John
son and Joe Donoghue out for keeps.
johnson holds both titles and will not let
them 20 without supreme effort, while
Donoghue is equally determined to get the
laurels back. A strong representation of
the young athletic element is expected in
the events, as many of the junior experts
who have not speed for the shorter race
may wish to try their staying qualities.

IN A BAD FIX.
Newfoundland May Be Compelled to
Join Canada.

LONDON, Dec. %. = In a leader this
morning the Daily News says: Whatever
the issue Of the proceedings against the
directors of the Commercial Bank of New
foundland, the incident will hardly
strengthen the public confidence on which
tie poor remnant of Newfoundland's
prosperity rests. The colony must now
see cause to regret its sbort-sighted refusal
to enter the Dominion. Had it joined the
Canadian confederation, it would have a
better claim for support from its sister
community than it can now advance.
The Telegraph says: Something must be
done to extricate Newfoundland. We can
not help thinking that the wisest eventual
course will be for the colony to abandon
its independence and join Canada.
