PRESS COMMENTS.
Unfortunate for the Silver Logic.
(Boston Traveler.)

The money in France is a trifle over
$40 to each inhabitant, while in the
United States it is only s24 per capita
and in England Sc less. If the theory
of the free silverites that deluge OF
money ensures prosperity were true,
France should be the most ideal of
countries. If the amount of money
per capita be the criterion. the French
people should he very nearly twice as
well off as Americans.
But. unfortunately for the silver
logic" this is not the case. A French
cents day. The American carpenter
commands $3.50 and SO a day. This
proportion holds good in almost all
branches of skilled labor.

Out of the 5000 persons engaged in the
liquor business in Philadelphia, 1896, are
women.
Liquor robs a man OF his sense and wis
dom; and no person SHOULD be so foolish as
to place himself under the thraidom OF such
an enemy.
Philadelphia has recently received fo.
liquor licenses 81 .968, ,60l.22, which was paid
by 1916 retailers, 1si wholesalers, 50 brewers
and 225 bcttlers.
The Government Of Canada has prohibited
the sale Of intoxicants among the indians Of
Hudson Bay Territory, ard Furnishes severely
any violation of this law.

In the West Indies the death-rate in yellow
fever times Is about twice as large among
drinkers US it is among abstainers.
An exchange estimates that for every rich
brewer, distiler or saloon-keaper In the land
there are at least two hundred paupers.
According to the British Medical Journal,

but the Jericho road is there nevertheless.
Silkcn pillows cannot soothe the wounded
any more than can tine rough stones Of the

blindly dug deep foundations without seeing
how straight the same road runs beneath
them. Counting rooms have been finished

Into their places, vaults for greater safety

MAN LIKE CATHEDRAL.

Man in his construction is like cathe-
dral church. Every point in such church
rises upward. and teaches us a lesson as it
rises. The foundation, OF course, must be
put on earthly rock; but step by step every
line Of the plan struggles up and away from
that rock. The tower grows slenderer as it
goes into the serener air; the steeple sur
mounts that. till it is ready to be lost in a
spire; so likewise the spire scars on aloft
into sweet sunshine until it is crowned
by the figure of tall angel in
white and the angel keeps looking up
ward, and even his hand is extended, and
the slender indeX-tlnger points heavenward,
heavenward, still. Thus one nature of man
rises upon another upward and Godward
and eternityward. His physical nature alone
rests upon the earth-rock. Above the physi-
cal is the mental, seeking if perchance it
may find out God above the mental is the
moral, with the indeS-nnger pointing to
God above the moral is the spiritual. and
that perpetually reaches aloft after God. the
everything God. For the satisfaction and
cr-,'>'"'ion of the uDDer nature Of man eter-
nifty Is necessary.-David Gregg, D. D.

IN HONOR PREFERRISG.

Some will have received honor this month.
Others. equally deserving. have been passc d
by. Can they be equally contented and
happy? Certainly. No one who makes the
will of God his supreme delight can
ever be really disappointed. H. who
has even philosophical acceptance OF e7ents
will not concede to any one, or ones. the
right or the power to disturb his peace :;
and they who love their neighbors as them
neighbors' joy. Perfect humility is rarely
found, but sufficient approach to that high
excellence should be mastered to make self
seeking out of the question. We are not
competent judges Of our own qualifications.
We can see plainly that other people are not
in their own case. 1t is altogether probable
that we have similar inflrmities and partiali-
ties. The good old rule Of the Apostle, In
honor preferring one another" though not
perhaps altogether popular at present. is
still the safest and most truly excellent.

MANuRING THE PEA CROP.

Most farmers who have msnured
peas heavily with stable manure, es.
pecially if applied in its untermented
state, have generally found that the
crop was not benefited thereby. The
manure will usually make large
growth of vine, but when buried in
the soil the manure dries it out too
much to make well-filled pod. Even
in q wet season the stable manure
does not increase the grain product.
That depends very largely on mineral
fertilizers, which the stable manure
only supplies in very small proper.
tions. Both peas and beans respond
literally to dressings of the CONNER.
cial mineral fertilizers phosphate and
potash. Even on poor land where the
vine growth is small the vines will be
full of well-flled pods and will yield
q large crop. For the very earliest
planted peas some nitrate Of soda ap-
piled in very small amounts with the
seed will pay. Beans require to be
planted after the ground has warmed
and their supplies of nitrates can be
furnished by the decomposition Of
vegetable matter which all but the
poorest soil contains. Boston Guilt.
