A Standing Army of Peace.

The aggregate number of employees
of all the roads in the United State
is as large as the standing army OF
Germany. This means that the 1880
railroads in this country employ
100000 persons, and that one person
in every ninety of our population d
pends for livelihood upon a raj
road. From the general railroad
statistics for last year it will be
learned that our 1880 railroads cal
ried about 60O,OOO,OOO passengers,
which means that if every passenger
had been different person, our rail
roads would have carried about half
the entire population of the globe.
In addition to this, about eight hun
dred million tons of freight were car
ried. To transport these hosts OF
passengers and move these mountain
of freight required $4,000 locom,
tives, $4,000 passenger cars and over
100000 freight cars. Counting il
all second tracks, sidings and yard
tracks, there are something over
100000 miles of railway tracks in
this country. The actual distance
covered, however, is 176,461 miles.
Every hundred miles of railroad
gives employment to SIS men.

chance to exhibit their powers, and
get little sympathy if they should fail
and few congratulations if they
should succeed. Under these dis
couraging circumstances, 80 different
from the optimistic views of young
graduates, they will need all the for
titude and perseverance they can
command to keep on doing their full
duty to the best of their ability until
the day of recognition shall come
And it will come to those who perse-
we're, for the world, though cold and
suspicious, is not ungenerous to those
who have been tried and have proven
worthy. The merely able man will
never get a chance to exhibit his
powers if he should be discouraged
at the first rebuff, and to prepare him
for such disappointments and encour-
age him in his efforts to overcome
them, he should be trained at school
and at home to persistent effort-to
persevering endeavor.
Much that is learned in school ap-
pears to be dismissed from memory
on the day of graduation and is never
recalled or utilized, but its good in
fnence lasts through life if it has
helped to train the mind of the
student in habits of close study, of
logical reasoning and of persevering
effort to conquer difficulties. These
are among the chief purposes of true
education, for they help to develop
the mind and strengthen character

What Lemons Will Do.

"Lemonade from the juice of the
lemon is ono of the best and safest
of drinks for any person, whether in
health or not says the New York
Journal of Commerce. s'It is suita-
BILE for all stomach diseases, excellent
in sickness. in case of jaundice,
gravel, liver complaint, inflammation
of the bowels and fevers. 1t is a
specific against worms and skin CON-
plants. Lemon juice is the best anti
scorbutic remedy known. 1t not only
cures disease, but prevents it. Sailors
make daily use of it for this purpose.
We advise people to rub their gums
with it to keep them in healthy con-
dition. The hands and nails are also
kept clean, white, soft and supple by
the daily use of lemon juice instead
of soap. 1t also prevents chilblains.
Lemon is used in intermittent fevers,
mixed with strong coffee without
sugar. Neuralgia, it is said, may be
cured by rubbing the part affected
with cut lemon It is valuable to
cure warts. 1t will remove danruff
by rubbing the roots of the hair with
it. It will alleviate and finally cure
coughs and colds and heal diseased
lungs, if taken hot on going to bed
at night. Its uses are manifold, and
the more we employ it internally the
better we shall find ourselves. A
doctor in Rome is trying it expert
mentally in malarial fevers with cue
cess, and thinks that it will in time

Shreveport Times: No man can
achieve perfection who attempts TO
follow too many occupations at once.
That which is sought to be made the
leading is necessarily neglected frr
the Others and hence none are pc =
fectly accomplished. Prominence in
any calling necersarily requires tie
sole application of time to that i,.s:-
suit. Hence is it seen that those l. .
successful in life who devote all the.:
time, bend all their energies ar,i
mind to a single occupation, be il
profession or trade.

Perseverance.

Although no one quality is suf6-
cient to command success in life's
undertakings, perseverance is one of
the most essential. 1t frequently COM
pensates for lack of ability or prelim-
mary training. Everybody is &C
quainted with the bright young man
who has never fulfilled the predictions
OF his future greatness, and if one
should seek the reason for or explain
alton of his failure it would generally
be found in lack of perseverance.
The slightest difficulty or obstacle is
sufficient to turn such a man from
his course. He tries one profession
or business after another only to find
that hard work and patience are re-
quired in all of them, and as he has
an exalted opinion OF his own powers
and merits, he is unwilling to 60
through the drudgery necessary to
command success. Other men of
smaller natural powers succeed in the
professions he has abandoned because
they have been persevering. Obsta-
cles have only whetted their appetites
and made them more Jealous, and
the result of persistent endeavor has
been such mental and moral training
as makes amens for a want of special
ability.
tits, indeed, a common observation
that the dullard, if persevering, has a
distinct advantage over the quick
learner who makes little effort and
consequently gets little mental exer-
else. There is advantage, of course,
in having both natural ability and
perseverance, but, if one cannot have
both, perseverance will generally be
found more conductive to success
than talent AS the great majority
of young men are not specially gifted,
this is to them comforting reflection,
for they can command the other quail
ity. 1t will be found of special ser
vice to them during their school
years. No matter how dull they may
be, if they will persevere in their
studies, determined not merely to
memorize, but to understand their
lessons, they will not only succeed in
that purpose, but will acquire such
training as will be of the greatest
service to them in after life-and
when they get out in the rough world
they will need sterling qualities tc
obtain SUCCESS. They will not find
any great demand for their services
however able they may be. On the
contrary, the world will be entirely
Indifferent to their presence, if no
to their existence. They will hav.

Grenada Miss Sentinel: Is there
a drunkard in this land who would of
choice see his son follow in his foot
steps? Is there one but that would
honor and respect his son for leading
an upright temperate life? "Like
father, like son." is an old and true
saying, but sometimes the son is dis
gusted with the maudlin idiocy, the
nanseous indecency of the effects ol
liquor on the father, that he turns
away from the poisonous cup with
loathing. But like father like son is
too often the case, and the former
lives to see, with bitter sorrow, the
force of example he has set. @

The times and the largest paid list of
subscribers in central Kansas enabled

help that. We treat our subscribers
right.
Remember that all subscribers who

get credit at the new rate from that
date. Examine the date on your

been changed accordingly. Those in
arrears should get in on the ground
