jag Juice For Educational Purposes

One million gallons of brandy are
proposed to be dedicated to the cause
of education by Mrs. Leland Stan
ford the widow of the multi mil
lionaire of California. 1t is the out
come Of her vineyards. She proposes
that it shall be sold, and the amount
realized handed over to the Stan
ford university. Some of the rever-
end clergy are in arms against any
thing of the kind, and declare no
Christian young man should be sent
to college supported by the sale of
liquor. Probably not says the Pitts
burg Post. But here is the liquor.
and it must be put to some use or
destroyed. Then what better use to
put it to than sell it for the promo
ton of education, which will teach
people not to abuse the gifts the
gods send them? Mrs. Stanford s
great Vi neyard cannot be proftably
run in the production of wine, and it
is proposed to go into distillation,
and pat on the market the million
gallons of brandy-for medicinal
purposes, 1t is alleged, but the idea
of using that much brandy for medi-
cine is laughed at, A connoisseur
says California brandy is fit for lit
tie else than cooking purposes, and
is worth only 81 a gallon.

An Incident of Blaine 5 BOyhoOd.

Miss Dodge's life of Blaine relates
an interesting story of a visit by
Blaine when he was a boy to the
home of his uncle, Thomas Ewing, at
Lancaster, O. While there he, with
some other boys, including Hugh
Ewing, went to Columbus, where
they stopped at the hotel of Colonel
John Noble, father of President Har.
rison's secretary of the interior
When the boys were ready to return
to Lancaster, Hugh Ewing stepped
up to Colonel Noble, who sat in the
shade in front of his hotel, and asked
to have the carriage and horses
brought. The Colonel rang the sta
Bile bell and ordered the carriage.
Hugh then, a little shyly, but proud
ly al becomes q man, asked for the
bill.
"Oh boys" was the unexpected
answer. Il won't charge you any
thing, not a cent"
This sudden change in the situa-
ton nearly wrought panic. A coun-
ell of war was hurriedly summoned
in the corner of the piazza, and a
unanimous agreement was reached
that it would be the height of folly
and flying in the face Of Providence
to 90 home with all that money in
their pockets, and they accordingly
went back to Colonel Noble, thanked
him, and said they would stay a
while longer This was too much
for the polite Colonel's gravity, and
he sank back in his chair with I'M
comfortable laughter.
Here, john, take back those hor-
ses, the young gentlemen don't want
them

A Unique Country where the Skies are
almost Never Cl0uded, while the
air is Cool and Bracing,
like Perpetual Spring.

AS an anomalous southern resort
by reason of the fact that there one
may escape summer heat no less than
winter cold, New Mexico is rapidly be-
coming famous. Averaging through
out the entire territory ), 800 feet in
altitude above sea-leycl, and charac-
terized by dry air~which, unlike a
humid atmosphere, is incapable of
communicating heat, the temperature
in midsummer remains at delight
fully comfortable degree through the
day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing. The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent
out-of-doOr eXertion may be undertake
en- without fear of distreSSful conSe-
quences. Sunstroke or prostration
are absolutely unknown there. 1t is
an ideal land for a summer outing.
Its climate is prescribed by reputable
physicians as specific for pulmonary
complaints, and the medicinal Hot
Springs at Las Vegas are noted fer
their curative virtues, The most
sumptuous hotel in the west, the
Montezuma, is located at these springs.

THE PERFECT ROAD
Showers Blessings Right and Left as it
Wends Its Silent Way.

The following extract is from a
speech delivered at the Minnesota
good roads convention:
Every ones income is divided in.
to two parts. One of these he is
compelled to make use of in sup
porting existence; the second part
is disposed OF in the way which his
judgment tells him will be best. This
leads to the inquiry whether our sur
plus is judiciously spent. Are we
buying the greatest amount of com
fort and permanent good with the
portion left at our disposal? Would
not model roads be of greater benefit
than our tobacco, liquor, tea, circus
and other show moneys bring?
Would they not more than balance
the good times we baye hauling our
produce through miles of mud, at
such fearful cost, in extra labor, re-
pairs, horses, oats, in wear and tear
of conscience and damages to char
acter?
1t is certain that bad roads make
weak, struggling churches and poor,
i'll attended, lifeless schools. They
necessitate life of seclusion which
walls the path of social progress.
To sum up, perfect highway is a
thing Of beauty and a joy forever.
1t blesSes every home by which it
passes. 1t brings into pleasant com.
munion people who otherwise would
have remained at perpetual dis
lance. 1t awakens emulation, &C.
ments friendships and adds new
charm to social life. 1t makes the
region it traverses more attractive,
the residences more delightful. 1t
stimulates a spirit of general i'm
provement. Fields begin to look
tidier, shabby fences disappear, gar
dens show fewer weeds, lawns are
better kept, the houses seem cozier,
trees are planted along its borders,
birds fill the air with music, the
world seems brighter, the atmos
phere purer. The country is awake,
patriotism revives, philanthropy
blossoms as sellishness fades and
sinks from view. The schoolhouse
aud the church feel the magic inhu-
ence-the wand of progress has
touched even them, the old are young
again, the young see something now
to live for, and to all life seems worth
the living. The daily mail reaches
each home. The rural cosmopolitan
feels the daily pulse of the world"

Where Do Children Learn Lying!

Rather costly joke, involving the
loss of boys respect for his moth

lowering his own standard of truth.

Capped the Climax.

An exchange tells that good
story was heard the other day of a
father and mother who were trying
to find names for their twin babies,
who, by the way, were girls. 1t was
decided that the father mist name
them, After casting about and find
ing no names that exactly suited
him he determined to end the strain
on his mind and named them Kate
and Duplicate In the course oftime
another pair of twins came, and they
were boys. This was the husbands
opportunity TO get even and he
wanted his wife to christen the boys.
Imagine his feelings when the moth
er one day told him she had named
them Pete and Repeat. But when the
third pair came the father grew
frightened and named them Max and
Climax.

FOrsaken Boom Towns in Kansas.


According to the Wall Street
News there are twenty well-built
towns in Kansas without q single
inhabitant to waken the echoes of
their deserted streets" 1t is said
that Saratoga, one of these deserted
villages, has "a thirty thousand dol
lar opera house, large brick hotel,
twenty thousand dollar school
house and number of fine business
houses with nobody to claim even a
place to sleep" All of this came
about by booming on borrowed capt
tai without resources enough to pay
the interest People moved away
from these towns as new way of
paying old debts.

A FEW OF HIM HERE
And He il Generally of the Dead Beat
Variety.

1t is said that a man who won't
buy a paper because he can borrow
one has invented machine by which
he can cook his dinner by the smoke
of his neighbours chimney. The same
fellow sits in the back pew in church
to save interest on contributions,
and is always borrowing a ride to
town to save the wear and tear of
his own horsehesh, Yes, you know
him. He's a first cousin to the man
who never winds up his watch for
fear of breaking the spring. He un-
doubtedly was near relative of the
man who went into the back yard
during a cold snap last winter,
soaked his hair in water, let it freeze,
and then broke it off in order to
cheat the barber out of hair cut.

NUMBER 40.
The Largest Gold Nuggets.

Engineering Magazine: 1t is a
popularity of American gold mines
that large nuggets are extremely
rare; in fact, the greatest mines sell
dom show any gold whatever visible
to the eye. Very valuable pockets
containing large quantities of small
gold have been often met with. both
in placers and quartz mines; but sol.
id nuggets Of good size are infre-
quent, The great nuggets come from
Australia-and net always or usual.
ly from the most important mines.
A correspondent Of the Mining and
Scientific Press furnishes an inter
estlng list of the famous Australian
nuggets, as recorded in the Colonial
Government reports. The largest
piece of gold ever found in the world
was taken from Dyer Il Haltman
claim, Hill End, New South Wales,
May 10, 1872, its weight being $40
pounds, height 4 feet in, width
feet , inches, average thickness, 4
inches; value, S14S,S00. Next on the
list come the Oates & Delson. $50.
600; Welcome Stranger, $4,000;
Welcome. S44, 366; Leg of Mutton,
S32, $50. Following these are sever.
al valued at from $4,000 to $4,000.
The California list contains one mug
get from Carson Hill, Calaveras coun.
ty, worth $4,000. Several large
masses of quartz and gold from Cal
ifornia are on record (which howev
er, are not true nuggets, Among
them are one lump from Downleville,
Siena county, worth nearly $4,000,
and one from the Bonanza mine,
Tuolumne county, yielding over $40.

Result of the Wilson Bill.

AtteHLlOu las DECN CdIleu 10 brad
streets report that more than 900
900 industrial workers have received
voluntary advances in wages, aver
aging 10 per cent within a couple of
months. A Republican organ cor
rectly says that nothing like this
has ever before been known" 1t
was not known during President
Harrison administration. It was
not known during the four years the
Mckinley law was in force. Wages
were not generally advanced soon
after that law took effect, nor at any
time before its repeal. Such a thing
as voluntary increase of wages on
a large scale was unheard of under
that law. Reductions were made in
every part Of the country, but no ad-
yanees at all Of consequence except
a few resulting from strikes.
The Wilson bill was passed last
August. Sections Of it went into eff
feet soon afterwards and other sec
tions later, some not until the begin
ming of 1895 1t is worthy of note
that the upward movement of wages
had its beginning in September and
has been growing ever since.
1t began in the wooden mills-one
Of the results of the placing of wool
on the free list. 1t spread to other
textile industries and then became
general AS soon as the winter was
over reports of advances in wages
were received daily. The list for
April inclues 81 in which the in
crease was as much as ) per cent.
In all but SIX cases the increase was
10 per cent or over. In 10 it was l )
and in several others from Z to 20
per cent. In the case of the Cincin-
natl cloakmakers, where 1000 per
sons were employed, an advance of
% per cent was given. The wages
OF 10000 brick manufacturers on the
Hudson River were increased from
10 to % per cent. One report for
April shows a 10 per cent increase
in the wages of $4,000 employees and
another similar advance in the pay
of 24,000. These were all mill hands
in Massachusetts. One of the 10
per cent advances that month affect
ed 10000 men in Youngstown, o.
None of these employees areinclud-
ed in the 100000 covered 10y Brad
streets report, which goes back only
a couple Of months. The total num-
Der whose wages have been increased
since the Wilson bill took effect is
probably not far from 100000.
And conservative estimate places
the average advance at 10 per cent.
For every dollar received by these
100000 wage.earners under the
Mckinley bill, $I10is received un
der the Wilson law. If their aggre-
gate monthly earnings amounted
then to $10O,000,00O month-an
average of $50 per man-they
amount now to S110,000,000-a clear
gain Of Sl0,000,000 a month or $l20-
100000 year to the wage earners
of the country
If the reduction of the tariff under
the Wilson bill has not been a lead
ing factor in this wage advancing
movement, why is it that the ad-
vances have been confined in most
part to our protected industries?
Will some high-tarif Republican
answer the question: Republic.

When we get to heaven we will
find that we had something to do in
building it.
One of the saddest sights upon
which angels have TO look is the life
Of a lonely child.
Whether we get to heaven or not
is to be decided by what we love, not
by what we knew.
The world is full of people who
want to be good, but they are in no
hurry to commence.
The heart is the largest thing in
the world, because it takes more
than the world to fill it.
If you want to have power to lead
others, learn to control the man who
wears your own hat
The woman who paints her cheeks
and the man who dies his whiskers
