The boy who spends his money
for beer, wine, whiskey, or tobacco,
saddles upon himself an appetite
which can never be fully gratified
without seriously endangering his
life. and is quite sure, if he lives
until he is fifty or sixty years OF
age, to spend a sum Of money which
would give him a comfortable home.
MANY a householder and farmer
has slowly but surely spent his
money for the above poisons until
his property has had to be sold to
paw his debts-a sad day for him
and his family. Boys and young
men. do YOU want to follow IN the
footsteps of such? If you do not,
keep away from saloons and let
Intoxicating drinks and tobacco
alone Touch not, taste not, han
die not" The boy or young man
who commences spending his mon
ey for tobacco or Intoxicating
drinks, as a rule, handicaps him.
self for life. and poverty and sor-
row will frequently result.
1t is very easy to get into the
habit of using such poisons, but
is very difficult to get out. for they
enslave mind and body, and not a
few have been driven to despair
by the lash Of suffering which fol-
lows an attempt to regain freedom.
Boys and young men, strive toward
"a anobIe manhood; do not become
slaves; let Intoxicating drinks and
tobacco alone. Such poisons are
not necessary, they will do you no
good. You will enjoy much bet
ter health, and, as rule, will live
much longer without them, as has
been demonstrated by statistics.
Our railroads, our steamboats,
and even our manufacturing estab-
lishments are beginning to find
that they must have young men
absolutely free from such habits
for responsible positions, espe-
cially where life and property are
at stake, and risked by the neglect,
heedlessness. incapacity, or care
lessness of employees. Boys and
young men, if ever you think Of
asking for or seeking position or
employment, let the above poisons
alone. What merchant whether
free from such habits himself or
not, wants or would choose a clerk
who was addicted to them, or
whose breath smells of the above
poisons, or what congregation
would prefer clergyman to go in
and out setting such an example
and thus encouraging the young
to use such poisons?
Boys and young men, do not be
led into slavery by the example
of those already enslaved, but re-
tain your personal liberty.''
There is no dearth Of smart men,
of brainy men, of ambitious and
courageous men, but the cause OF
religion, Of politics, of education
and of humanity needs not these
only, but earnest, conscientious
men Every profession is in need
of such; every trade and calling is
lifted up when such men enter it.
No accomplishments are sufficient
without integrity; no amount OF
talent can make a preacher or a
teacher or q statesman or worthy
leader in any field unless accom-
panied by an earnest, sincere and
consuming desire to do good. The
education of the hand. or of the
brain must be accompanied by
the education of the heart and the
education of the heart must also
be accompanied by an education
of the brain and hand. Thus as,
sociated and working in earnest
harmony, what a trinity of glori.
Gus forces for the attainment o1
life's greatest purposes. Monte.

The atmosphere of a house is
what makes it homelike. Every
living creature has an atmosphere
of his own. He can be as chilly
and damp and disagreeable as a
March wind; he can be as bright,
cheerful and charming as a June
morning; he can be as dark and
impenetrable as a November fog,
or as crisp and electric as a day in
December. .--Presbyterian Messen-
ger.

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA.

At this time of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run its course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure
a cough or cold than Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively, and it has always given
entire satisfaction.-Ola Ind. Ter.
Chief
This is the only remedy that is
known to be certain preventive of
pneumonia. Among the many thous-
ands who have used it for colds and la
grippe, we have never yet learned of
a single case having resulted in pneu-
monia. Persons who have weak lungs
or have reason to fear an attack of
pneumonia, should keep the remedy at
hand. The 25 and so cent sizes for

Alcohol In Cold Weather,

A scientist thus explains why it is so
dangerous to use alcohol in the polar
regions: A moderate use of alcohol
causes a deposit of fat. Alcohol is not
turned into fuel in the muscle and nerve
cells, but serves as a pure fuel in the
organism and replaces the combustion
of fat Alcohol is, therefore, dangerous
i'll the extreme cold because it assists
the throwing off of heat in great de-
gree. The effect is as if a stove in a
room should be heated redhot and then
all the doors and windows thrown open.
Heat produced by muscular work in the
body is best obtained from carbohy-
drates i'll the food, but, besides this, the
indispensable production Of heat is best
obtained by fats. This explains the in
stinctive choice Of the food of men. In
the tropics they eat little fat and much
fruit, while the polar dweller requires
immense quantities of fat to keep up
the bodily combustion. - New York

Capes are seen of light cloth, taffeta and

with applications of embroidered tulle,
ruches, embroideries, passementerie and
large bows. The universal caprice of the
moment for cape trimming as we'll as

which composes all sorts of frills and fur

PEOPLE WHO BUY ANCESTORS.

TnvontoI Thar,

In Great Demand by Those Who Have Not
Invented Them.
''There is a regular trade done in old
portraits Of men in armor and women
in medieval costumes" said large
picture dealer to the writer. "They are
brought by persons who have made their
fortunes and want to persuade their
friends that they come of an ancient
and aristocratic lineage.
81 am frequently called upon to sup
ply these fictitious ancestors, and I find
that the portrait of a gentleman in ar
mor-and armor is especially favored,
such as was worn about the time Of Ed
ward will fetch almost any price, no
matter how crude it may be, SO long as
it has the old time tone.
"Only the other week a man whose
manner spelled fortune from pork sau-
sages' applied to me for series of an
cestors I had three old portraits Oh
hand at the time and offered them to
him. but he did not care about them be-
cause there was no armor. Could not
supply this deficiency? 1 said, yes, ;
and doubled the price of the pictures,
and he drew me check for $3.50 with
avidity. Now he wants four more to
fill four vacant panels in the picture
gallery of his ancestral home
''Many upshot Americans who come
over here buy up the ancestors to take
home and palm off upon their friends.
Indeed the demand for them has be-
come so great that there are four OF five
portrait painters making comfortable
incomes turning out forefathers
"Of course you know that large guam
titles of ancient armor are made every
year i'll Sheffield and bought by the
same class of people, with the same OBJ
ject as the pictures. 1t is fact, and l
have known 5000 to be paid for suit
of armor which probably cost less than
e10 to make. London Tit-Bits.

WATCHES.
Some Facts Concerning the Styles-The
Great Number of Watches Used.

Great Number of Watches Used.
In this country almost everybody car
| ries a watch. Probably nine of
the men and great numbers of women
and many young people carry watches.
In the best trade of the city many more
watches Of gold are sold than of silver ,
Of all the watches sold throughout the
country about 20 per cent are of gold.
The percentage of gold watches is in
creasing.
The fashionable watch of the day is
open faced. The sale of open faced
watches is increasing, especially i'll fine
watches, but it is increasing also in
watches of otherrgrades Of fine gold
watches sold in the city probably two
thirds are now made open faced. OF all
the watches sold in the United States,
gold and silver. probably from a quarter
to third are now made open faced.
The modern watch has for one of its
characteristics thinness. A man S watch,
which is now made more especially to
wear with evening dress and is all the
time growing i'll favor, is a plain. thin,
open faced gold watch, which takes up
but little room in the pocket. Perfect
in its simplicity, this watch is at the
same time of fine workmanship and
great beauty. 1t sells at 500. A gold
watch not so thin nor SO finely finished,
but very handsome modern watch and
ali excellent ~timekeeper, by the same
makers and bearing their name, can be
bought in open face, the case of IS carat
gold, for $780, in double case for $40.
But gold watches and good watches,
too, can be bought for very much less
than these rrices-in fact, there never
was time when watches generally were
made in such tasteful shapes, or when
they were so good for the money Or so
cheap as now.
Taking all the grades together, the
American production of watches Is
about 1000 daily. The importation Of
watches amounts to about the same
number. One might ST first wonder
what becomes OF all these watches A
great Damoer are taken up annually by
the new buyers coming into the marke.
