THERE is no business or avocation, if faith
fully followed, but claims the larger share
of the time of the one engaged in the partic-
ular pursuit. But while every useful life is
busy one, every busy life necessarily is not
useful one. Faithful devotion to an hon
orable calling and conscientious endeavor to
master its requirements, will crown any life
with diadem richer than regal gem or roy
al ruby. Every true toiler, however, works
with reference to the comfort and betterment
of his fellow-man, exalting that above mere
personal gain; and no matter how assiduous
the labor or untiring the zeal, unless aggran-
dizement and enrichment of self be subordi-
nate to the fundamental obligations embod-
led in the code of higher humanity, such a
record will be far from satisfying the ques-
tionings of an alert conscience when the final
reckoning comes.
"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and
His righteousness, and all these things shall
be added onto you," is of the highest essence
of moral philosophy, and rightfully viewed,
is of automatic truthfulness.

THE Anti-Saloon League of Ohio have in
troduced another feature into Buckeye poll
tics, that bids fair to cause considerable COM
motion in more than one community in the
State. 1t is not q movement in the Interests
of any particular party, or to form a ne"
one, but simply to unite the moral sentiment
of the voters in all parties against the saloon,
each individual being entirely free to afhllate
with any party, the general principles OF
which are most acceptable to him. The most
important part of the plan is pledge, sub
mllted for the signature of every voter, by
which he binds himself to support none bul
men known to be opposed to the saloons
The platform of the federation pledges the
member to the laws and constitution OF the
State, and contains also tins clause, which
will explain clearly IN a nut shell the ooJee'
of the organization: "We will always ain
toglye our votes IN THE PRIMARY CAUCUsks
and at the polls, for the candidates to seIVt

1t is the intention to cover the entire state

 Jim Larkin was 8 noted character of Cheyenne in the seventies. Larkin was one of those harmless officious fellows and had his nose into everything. There was never a dog fight but in some way he got bitten, never a fire but he got burned, and never an accident but he was there in time to get hurt. Larkin was something of a snowman. During his residence in Cheyenne colored tra- gedian filled an engagement in that city. playing Hamlet" and "Othello.
 Larkin saw in the oolored man great opportunity to make money and induced him to play 'Mazeppa, using wild bull instead of wild horse. The trago. dian fell into the idea, and rehearsals for the great event were had. The per- formance was given in a large hall, which was crowded to tho doors
 The play went off lovely until it was time for the wild bull of Tartary to be brought on. and then there was a slight hitch. The bull had suddenly become reluctant about going on the stage. Man ager Larkin got behind him and gave the animals tail twist. It had the de- sired effect The bull rushed upon the stage and tore out every foot of scenery, and then jumped of into tho orchestra landing on top of the slide trombone player.
 The audience stampeded and jumped through the windows and doors, and in a very few minutes the bull had every thing to himself. The "Mazeppa" en- gagement closed that night. Standard

 She looked at him in apparent amaze ment, and then turning to her mother, with an air that showed she had given it up," asked:
 Mamma, what's that opposite?'
 "Shl That's Chinaman, my dear" answered the mother in low tone.
 '"The same kind of Chinaman papa says the Japanese arc killing?"
 "Yes, my dear. Don't talk so loud !"
 The child meditated Q moment and then said:

 Some There Are With an Aversion to Har-
 mony's Sweet Strains.
 No greater mistake can be made than to Imagine that all royal personages arc necessarily musical. True. there is largo number of melomaniacs among them. one of the most conspicuous in- stances having been the late King Louis of Bavaria But on the other hand, there are not few who are entirely de- void of any ear for music and who even dislike it.
 Thus Emperor Napoleon III was ex- ceedingly averse to melody of every kind and character, while his uncle, the first emperor, complained that the sound of music used to jar on his nerves and to give him headache
 King Humbert of Italy is equally de- void of ear, simply loatbes the sound of instrumental music, and has so little notion of what is false and what is 0 true note that the most efficacious threat that he can use when he wishes to in- duce his wife tc stop playing on the pi. ano is the declaration that he will com mence to sing

 have more than once discussed with eminent aurists in Germany the causes of this absence of what is known as the ear for music. They attribute it to one of two causes-either to cerebral de- ficienoy or to defect in the drum of the ear. Strangely enough, one drum will sometimes be thus affected and the oth- CT not, and they cited the we'll known case of famous scientist to whom the sound of music was a source of neurotic trouble and even downright agony un- til one day he happened to stop up one ear with cotton wool, when for the first time music became to him a source of pleasure and even delight.
 A king who objects to music is King George of Greece, whose pet aversion is the national hymn of the country over which he reigns. No matter where the unfortunate man goes. either at home or abroad. he is compelled to listen to the strains of this melody, which is invaria- bly struck up in his honor, and I have been frequently amused by observing the look of positive anguish upon his faco when the band began its work. - Chicago Record
