Wonders of Vision.

The recoil of this question is tremeu- dous. We stand at the center of vast circumference of observation. No pri- vacy. On us, eyes of cherubim, eyes of seraphim, eyes of archangel, eyes of God We may not be able to see the habitants of other worlds, but perhaps they may be able to see us. We have not optical instruments enough to descry them; perhaps they have optical instru- ments strong enough to descry us. The mole cannot see the eagle mid sky, but the eagle mid sky can see the mole mid grass. We are able to see mountains and caverns of another world, but perhaps the inhabitants of other worlds can see the towers of our cities, the flash of our seas, the marching of our processions, the white robes of our weddings, the black scarfs of our obsequies.
 It passes out from the guess into the positive when we are told in the Bible that the inhabitants of other worlds do come as convoy to this. Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to min ister to those who shall be heirs of sal vation? But human inspection, and an gelic inspection, and stellar inspection, and lunar inspection, and solar inspcc- tion are tame compared with the thought of divine inspection. "You con- verted me 20 years ago." said black man to my father. "How SOP" said my father. Twenty years ago, :" said the other, Gin tho old schoolhouse prayer meeting at Bound Brook you said ill your prayer, Thou, God, seest me, and had no peace under the eye of God un- til l became a Christian Hear it: ''The eyes of the Lord are in every place. :" His eyelids try the children of men.

This Is Good

Whatever failings you may have, and heaven
knows all have some,
That they should struggle day and night to
try to overcome.
Ne 'er stand within the market place, and as
you coldly frown,
With all the strength, that you possess, throw
cudgels at your town.
Do not increasingly complain about her
streets and squares,
The failings her officials have the parsons
talks and prayers,
And do not in an endless plaint your small
opinion gre
OF how much better things were done where
once you CHANGED to live.
Do not throw cudgels at your town, because
it is not right,
And if you do the chances are that most of it
is spite.
If people do not look at things ex actly as you
do,
would not be surprised to learn the trouble
is with you.
If things are not what they should be. and
ought to be improved
Roll up your sleeves and go to work and have
what's wrong removed;
But let me say whatever line OF action you
pursue
Do not destroy what you now have till you
can build anew.

Think What This Means.

Lately the office Of road inquiry of
the department of agriculture has COM
pleted an interesting investigation re-
lating to the common roads of the
United States Returns have been re-
ceved from about 200 counties, show
ing the average length of haul from
farm to markets or shipping points to
be twelve miles; the average weight of
load tor two horses 1902 pounds, the
average cost rer ton per mile % cents
and So for the entire haul. Estimating
the farm products at 219,824,227 tons
in weight and making estimates on
other articles carried over the public
roads, 1t is calculated that the aggre-
nate expense Of this transportation in
the United States is 46,4l4, 665 per
annum.

A DRINK FOR WOMAN.

The Latest Acquisition to the Drug
Store Fountain.
The latest acquisition to the row Of
long-necked bottles at the drug store
fountain is marked orange flower
syrup" This is pure extract of orange
blossoms and is about the most etheri-
ally delicious beverage when taken with
three inches of cream and we'll charged.
They call it "Hymen's wassail" the
girls do, when the clerk of the fountain
serves it with plenty Of soda and ice
shaved and piled light as snow. He rec
commended it as good thing for nerves,
and is always sincerely grateful when
any of his patrons will give him new
recipe for some dainty drink. One of
the incest and latest of his combina-
tions, and deservedly popular, too, is
ordinary chocolate soda dashed with
one teaspoonful of creme d'yVette.
Everybody knows what this is, a cor
dial colored and favored as if with
violets, and another fashionable apOth-
ecary is earning a good name among
the women by serving them, since the
cold weather began, with minute cups
of clear, hot, sugaress coffee, favored
with a drop or two of violet cream. He
is the same man who is making himself
famous by tutti-frutti ice cream soda
This is a glass Of simple vanilla or
chocolate cream, with handful Of
small, spicy crystallized fruits thrown in
before the soda is turned on-cherries,
currants, shredded ginger, and the like.
1t costs only cents more than the or
binary soda and is favorite after-the-
theater treat with the young man of
modest means and simple tastes.

ANOTHER FACTORY.

The oliver Typewriter to be Manufactured
in Kenosha.
For several weeks negotiations have
been pending between the Oliver Type
writer Company now located at Ep-
worth, Iowa, and citizens of Kenosha
in reference to locating the concern
here. A proposition was made about
four weeks ago but the conditions wero
not at once met and matters have been
hanging fire until this week, when
another proposition was submitted and
The terms have been SO nearly accepted
that matter of only $500 now stands
in the way of securing absolutely one
of the incest industries in the west.
Mr.. Oliver the patentee of the type
writer has the best thing before the
public in his line and it is bound to be
a seller. Local capitalists have become
interested to the extent of rebuilding
the ScotfOrd plant which will cost about
$4,000. q. G.. Simmons furnishes
$4,000, the balance to be furnished by
other citizens of Kenosha, So, 700 of
the remaining $4,000 being already
provided for. The factory will be
built at once and will be in operation
by spring. Fifty skilled mechanics
will be employed at the start and a
large force will shortly be required.
The company is not begging a location.
1t has plenty of means and is backed by
such men as Kohlsaat, Williams and
Farwell of Chicago, and the men con
nected with the active management are
gentlemen of business ability and will
prove a valuable acquisition to Keno
sha. The new factory will be two
stories in height and will have $4,000
feet of floor space and equipped with
a fifty horse power boiler and engine.
A description of the Oliver machine
and something of the personnel of the
company will be made later.

POKER In BACK BAY.
Fashionable Bostonians Have Gone Crazy
Over the Great American Game.

Fashionable Bostonians Have Gone Crazy
Over the Great American Game.
From the Boston Herald: Very few
people outside certain circles of the
Back Bay have any conception of the
extent to which poker playing is car
ried in that section. The whole local
ity is divided into "sets," and it is Gus
tomary for each one to hold a session
at his or her house nearly every night
in the week. The usual hour for begin
ming to play is 8 o'clock, and it is Gus
tomary for the ladies to dress for the
occasion, while the gentlemen not in
| frequently array themselves in full
evening costume The standard limit
is 10 cents, one reason for making it SO
small being that the conscientious shall
not feel that they are gambling. Gen
orally there are three hours of play, aft
er which the hostess asks her guests to
a light repast, consisting of sardines,
crackers, cheese and sweet meats. Bot
tied beer is the fayorite beverage, but
there are instances on record where
something stronger has been INDUCED
in. A great many society people of
botn sexes drink rum punch, lemonade
dashed with whisky and plain gin. The
usual time devoted to refreshments is
fifteen minutes, as all are anxious to
! get at the cards again.
It frequently happens that seven and
eight players are present at a sitting,
and when everybody stays the cards
| fall short, which necessitates gathering
I'D the dead wood" and filling out the
| hands from it, There is a well-ground-
ed superstition that these discards
have been robbed of everything of val
ue and that to draw from them is equl-
valent to throwing the chips into red
hot stove. To in measure meet these
exigencies eleven and twelve spot cards
have been added, making the pack con-
sist of sixty cards instead of f9fty-two.
Another innovation is the "ringdoo-
de-" ringdoodle is declared when
hand has been called and tours are
shown. Then follows a round of jack
pots, the holder of the winning hand
starting them. Blue chips are put up
to correspond with the number of play
ers. Of course round of jack pots
would be equivalent to a ringdoodle,
but it comes easier to some players TO
pay on the installment plan. Then
regular round of jacks is declared
when a full hand is shown. Two are
never allowed TO play in the modern
game, no matter how good their hands
| may be. A jack pot always follows.
There are also buck jacks and jacks on
the slightest provocation. 1t has now
become the custom to make a discount
of one red chip for every jack pot.
When the time has crept on toward
midnight the, keeper of the kitty an
nounces that a round of consolation
jacks will be played. The chips are
divided into a number of piles CORE
spending with the number OF players,
and the extras are placed in the center
of the table with the individual contri-
buttons.
