WHAT IS LIFE woRTH7
Important Question Answersd by Mrs.
 Henry Ward Beecher.

Important Question Answersd by Mrs.
 Henry Ward Beecher.
 What is life worth?
 Just what you choose to make it and 10 more.
 As you SOW, so will you reap. If from the first hour of responsible living you choose to live only for self, for your own comforts and pleasure, regardless of the wishes or comforts of others-if Q habit begun in childhood, thinking first of all how will such course or act profit me, is allowed to gather force as years roll on, your. life will be worth very little.
 While ths young blood rushes wildly through th, veins, and, careless and reckless, you plunge from one excite ment to another, still more sclfishly re- gardless of the wishes or comfort of parents and the closest friends, for you there may be a kind of mad enjoyment. But will it last? And while it lasts what is it? What is your life-what is such life really worth? How soon will all such unnatural settlements and self ish pleasures wear themselves out? How soon will they prove totally in- sufficient stimulant and leave you all ways reaching out after more, which, when gathered, may prove just as worthless ard unsatisfying.
 Or, if in your heart you are longing for wealth instead of riotous pleasures, and if you determine to secure it and labor for it until you have spent all your young years. it begins to flow in upon you, and instead of finding pleasure in it you become miser. You hoard your hard-carned wealth, instead of using it. What have you gained? Your bank &C., counts swell to large proportions, but you live on the barest pittance, giving your family only the most common necessities, while your ledger at last shows you to be worth millions. What has your life been worth?
 Or, if you enter into manhood. am bition becomes your besetting sin, and you turn from friends. and suitable amount of family pleasures and sympa- thy with the world at large, urging every faculty to secure worldly repu- tation that shall outshine all others, what shall it be worth when you get it? For, with all the applause that awaits your achievements, there may be no words of praise for your goodness. as we'll as your high standing and worldly distinction. There may be no sad homes that give you loving gratitude for your generous kindness, no thanks

He Is an Amusing Dog and the Popular
 Fad of tho Day.
 One of the most amusing dogs to look upon is the corded poodle. His hair hangs down to the ground all around him in cords. He looks like the mate- rial for fine piece of rope, and doubt less an excellent cable could be con- structed from him. Corded poodles are very rare and valuable. MT. Graves, of Tolleshunt d'Arcy, near Maldon, in the county of Essex, in Enltt,nd, is the owner of the most remarkable col- lection of them. The toilet of the cord. ed poodle is not like that of the or'li- nary French poodle, although that is elaborate enough. This rare kind of poodle has his hair clipped off for @

THE CORDED POODLE.

short space just over the hindquarters This frees him in his movements and displays his cords to the best advantage These are cleaned and combed down with great frequency and care.
 Corded poodles are black or white in color. They are very intelligent, de- lighting to stand on their heads, smoke pipes and do other tricks. In spite of their cordage they are very playful. The first to be connected with Mrs. Graves successes on the show bench was the Champion Achilles, a black dog, whose career in the show ring beat even that of his celebrated sire, the im- ported Lyris.
 The famous Druidess scored her latest success at the show of pet dogs at the Aquarium this May. Her record stands at about 50 prizes, and she se- cured her third championship at the Kennel club show last autumn. The Druidess, who is undoubtedly the best daughter of Achilles, is large fe- male with profuse cords touching the ground, and long and finely chiseled head.
 During the summer months the poo dies are kept in large, high ken nels. having long outside runs. with wooden floors and roofed overhead. These runs open into a cemented court yard. The kennel floors are covered with cork linoleum. In the winter the dogs are housed in roomy, loose boxes, which have wooden floors, raised about four inches above the ground, and on the top of which are cocoanut fiber mats for their use at night.

majority of Sound money" will be about
100; the Republican majority over all
other parties will be So. The senate, it
appears at this writing, will be nearly
evenly divided financially, assuming that
Mr.. Teller acts with the Democracy and
Mr.. German does not 60 back to his for
mer declared position on the financial
question. The Populist party is no
longer to be regarded as scattering" If
Washington should elect Mr.. Bryan sena-
tor he and Mr.. Teller may be expected to
become leaders in this new party, which it
is MT at all impossible will become the
real power in the Democratic party,
which in that case would be the radical
party OF the future. A comparison of the
votes of Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey and Maryland with the presiden-
tial vote of 1892 shows what political
revolution was wrought in the east by
the changed issues, and the overwhelm-
ing Mckinley maj ortties in Indiana, Hi
nois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa
show how little it was true that the farmer
vote was for free silver. The
Ignorant foreign vote" is such
a common cause of terror that it is worth
while to note the fact that if it had not
been for the foreign vote the election
would have been carried for free silver.
1t was the foreign vote that Saved the |
country" Excluding the mining states
of the far west, the average proportion of |
persons of foreign birth or parentage in
the whole country is 81 per cent Every
state which voted for Mckinley, except
only Maine, Delaware, Maryland, West
Virginia, Indiana and Kentucky, has more
than this average of foreign origin. Every
state which voted against him, except
Nebraska and the mining states, has less.
The north Atlantic states, which gave the
greatest Mckinley majorities, have a
foreign element of AZ per cent. The five
western states which gave the next largest
majorities have foreign element of over
Sc per cent. All the states which gave
Bryan majorlties Except the mining
states) have foreign element of less
than per cent. The states which gave
him the largest majorities have less than
per cent. change of $4,000 in the
total vote, while leaving Mr.. Mckinley a
popular majority of nearly or quite a
million, might have sufficed to have given
Mr.. Bryan the electoral votes of the states
Of California, Oregon, North and South
Dakota, Indiana, Kentucky and West Viz
ginia, and to have elected him president
Of the United States.
Query: Is that system right which
makes it possible to give one man ma
iority of million of votes and yet elect
lis opponent president? -The Outlook.

BY INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT.

conference of nations on the sub iect
of the worlds wheat market is under
stood to be desired by at least one of the
great foreign wheat growing empires,
says the Washington Post. 1t is stated
IN official circles at Washington that
Russia is particularly friendly to such an
idea, and is believed to be making over
lures not only to the United States but
to England, the Argentine Republic and
Austria, which are the principal wheat
growing nations of the world.
The idea is that these nations should
they see fit to unite in an agreement up
on the subject could fix price for wheat
to be maintained uniformly through vari-
Gus seasons of overproduction and un.
satisfactory crops caused by drought or
continual ram, ana thus make the princi-
pal grain staple upon which the millions
of consumers depend for food almost as
Interchangeable in value as gold itself has
become. This would enable the pro-
Queer, it is seriously commended, in the
event of an unusually large crop, to store
his wheat and obtain thereon loan that
would tide him over until the wheat was
in demand in the worlds market, when he
would receive full and fair price for it.
Now here is richness for you! The
goldites have all along told Us that, re-
garding silver, we may as we'll talk of
fixing the price of wheat by interna-
tional agreement" as attempting to fix
the price of the white metal, and yet we
find them now advocating this very
oposition-absurd in the extreme on
its face. The conditions respecting
wheat are very different from those that
effect silver. In India to-day 100000
human beings are threatened with starva-
ton and yet wheat in the United States
is below 70 cents bushel. What rotten
business methods have brought about
this condition of things.
