a simple thing and so common that very few

of catarrh and consumption which have
their origin in this neglect of the simplest

THRIFTY CONGRESSMEN.

how Some of Them Made" Both Ends
Meet'-That is GObblcd up All the
Ducats in Sight.
"Uncle Sam he pays the BILL" and
some Congressman as we'll as others
appear to be on the make purely,
judged by the following from the
Washington Star of recent date:
Evidence is multiplying to show
that some Of the members Of the Fifty
third Congress were very thrifty fell
lows, and that they did not let any
thing get away from them. The latest
indication Of this fact, coming upon
the top of considerable gossip and
rumor Of similar nature, is the detec
ton of Representative in the act of
selling to the Department of Agricul-
ture the quota of garden seed issued
to him by the Government.
The report of the clerk o: the House
of Representatives, issued just before
the adjournment of Congress, shows
that large number of Representa-
tives did not draw any stationery
during the three sessions of Congress,
but instead took the s375 in cash, the
equivalent of their stationery accounts.
OF course they had a right to do this
under the law, but the gossips say that
in many cases the members Of the
House used the stationery furnished to
the committees of which they were
members, thereby enabling them to
get along without touching their own
accounts. Each committee was fur
nished a certain amount Of stationery,
and the full quota was usually drawn.
THE MILEAGE PRIVILEGE.
The mileage privilege, OF course, is
an old story, and the Congressman
had a rich haul in this for the three
sessions. The men who did not travel
on passes were very few in number,
but they all raked off the mileage.
Railroad passes were unusually plenti-
full in the last Congress, owing to
pending railway legislation, and those
members who were sharp supplied
themselves with annual passes, which
would enable them to do little
travelling during the summer.
Evidences are plentiful of wholesale
disposals of Government publications
by members OF the House. There
was large distribution Of books
among the outgoing members, and
some of the volumes we're valuable.
Many of these have been bought, it is
said, by dealers, who paid the Con-
gressmen cash and who expect to
realize profit upon the sale of the
books in the future.
The Agricultural Department has
recently been obliged to purchase 200
copies Of one of its own publications,
paying the bookseller 50 cents copy.
OF course, the dealer had bought them
from Congressman, knowing that there
would be a later demand for the
publication.
TRAFFIC IN SEED.
The traffic in seed is new feature
Of Congressional thrift. 1t was but
recently that the Agricultural Depart
ment got an idea that there was some
thing crooked in the seed transactions
OF some members, and steps were taken
to catch the offenders. 1t is expected
that evidence will be obtained Of
several shady transactions in seed on
the part of Congressman, and it is
said that Secretary Morton proposes
to publish all the facts in connection
with the matter in a report to the
next Congress, in which he will rec
ommend some changes in the method
of distributing seed and department
publications.

LET Us BE J JUST.

Under the above heading the Char
lotte Obse,VSy makes some pertinent
remarks about certain criticisms i inch
it says it regrets to see in portion ot
the Democratic press Oh account oi
what are called the q large appropr.u-
tons made by the late Legislature.
Our contemporary says, and on this
point we agree with it entirely:
1t is important, above everything
else, that in dealing with the work Of
the Legislature, we should be fair, and
the Observer is here to say that in the
cases of the schools and the penal and
charitable institutions of the State,
that body did not appropriate dollar
more than it should have done. II it
did, the error is one which will correct
itself, for any dollar not needed by
any of these institutions Gall of them
being in the hands of honest mem, will
be accounted for and turned back into
the State Treasury. 1t is all wrong TO
educate our people downward about
these things. The nj ggardly sentiment
which suggests that anything is good
enough for the insane, the deaf, the
dumb and the blind, and that the
States institutions of learning may be
starved out and its ConviCts half fed
and half clothed, should be stamped
out instead of encouraged by attacks
upon the proper appropriations which
have been made to them. The just
CritisCism of the Legislature on account
of its expenditures rests upon alto
gether different grounds. Its members
had attacked Democratic appropria
tons for necessary public purposes,
and then when they came 20 confront
the question of appropriations them
selves they found that there was no
room for retrenchment except at the
expense OF injury TO the public service.
They followed in the Democratic path
and thus convicted themselves of false
hood and duplicity. But their crime
upon the public was not in this but in
increasing, unnecessarily, the expenses
of their own body, in the creation of
new and costly offices and in enact
ments (such as the magistrate book
law, and the like, which take money
out of the Treasury without giving TO
the people any proper equivalent.
Mr.. JOHN H. lNAlAN writes to the
New York Morning lAdgerhser:: 1.-The
general business outlook is greatly i'm
proved, but As my interests are partic-
ularly in the South l can only speak
from the Southern standpoint. The
South is holding its own and has been
doing SO for the past two years, while
other parts of the country have been
losing money. The South is now
pretty well out of debt and everything
,oclnts to a'hffsaterial improvement.

China's Trade,

china is Americas principal for-
eign market for cotton goods. Last
year our shipments OF cotton cloths
to that country amounted to about
100000 yards, or nearly twice as
much as to Brazil, our next customer.
The total value of all cotton exports
amounted to over $4,000, 900, Chi.
mas portion bringing $4,000, 900
about IS per cent OF the whole.
During the war between China and
Japan this trade fell off considerably.
but it is again assuming its old time
proportions. China consumes an
enormous quantity OF cotton cloth.

But our exports to China are not
confined to cotton manufactures. Wa

annually, and also in various kinds
OF machinery. China has commenced
using sewing machines, agricultural
implements, American furniture, lard,

Thistles and Corn.

From the New York Herald
By their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew vii, 20.
These two things are true-no man
can rightly appreciate this present
life until he has an unwavering faith
in the life to come, and no man can
rightly appreciate heaven until he
assures himself that what he is now |
doing and sacrificing and suffering |
will have a distinct bearing on his |
character, and therefore on his hap
riness or misery hereafter.
When gardnerer plants vegeta-
bles in the spring he knows just what
kind of crop he will have in the au-
tumn. His potatoes will never be-
come turnips and his radishes will
never become beets. If he is careless
in his planting he will be lacking
when he reaps. There is in nature
only that kind of necromancy which
reproduces in larger quantity the
exact kind of wheat which you SOW.
Nature is never cepricious, and if you
expect generous returns you must
make generous investment.
Physically, we know this by expert
enoe; spiritually, we know it BY in
duction. If oats reproduce oats it is
safe to infer that noble thoughts and
endeavors will result in happiness and
profit, and if neglected farm goes
to waste you may be sure that neg
lected soul will follow the same rule.
Religion, therefore, is merely the
science of successful spirit culture,
with heaven for your reaping season.
There is nothing mysterious about it
except as the processes OF growth are
J always mysterious.
. Theology is a very different affair,
s for it consists merely of series o
speculations, or, in some cases, o
vagries, whose influence on life il
very remote and obscure.
You can live long and well withou
theology, but you cannot live at al
without religion. The electric cur
rent, for illustration, runs along th
wire and carries your message to tn
: other side of the continent-that
practical religion. You have a theor
/. as to what the electric current is
that is theology. You can do withou
the theory, but you cannot do will
out the current. The learned ma,
D with more or less profit, discuss th
u nature Of electricity; but the pot
man, who will be befogged by yo'
definitions, knows as we'll as you 9
the value Of the mystic fluid whis
traverses hemisphere in the twin
ling of an eye.
Now, it is a fundamental law
religion that no man can sow thistl
o and reap corn. The experiment b
been tried So often, and so oft
failed, that it would be foolish to t
it again. Life, therefore, becomes
