 Whatever weaknesses and ignorance labor may have displayed in the great Chicago strike, George M. Pullman came out of it beneath contempt Such men as he and c. P. Huntington are the enemies of mankind, not because they have accumulated great fortunes hon. estly or dishonesty. but because their attitude provokes hostility and hatred and cross purposes, and business thrives on confidence and confidence on peace.
 But these strifes large as they seem at times are but incident to humanity's progressive struggle. There is nothing in them that demands the overturning of the whole system of business. Vio- lent revolution is band almost invari- ably. That mighty series of reyolu- tions beginning with the French in 17S9 achieved nothing but reactions, the achievements were in the years of peace, between, and the hardest part of the work was the overcoming the reaction from the revolution. Say to capitalists and laborer and farmer there shall be no revolution and they VIII otCe1dlS NOAh Oul lHeil OWA Sdl- vation. The mills will start, the mark cts will open their mouths, the south and west will attract the ever timid capital which they need, and in twen- ty years of good business will them selves have become money centers and the worlds last illusion of prosperity through imitation of currency shall have faded out, never to return unless it turn up once more in Africa of Green land, the only remaining undeveloped countries.
 If you ask me how to do this I reply "that gentlemen is politics.

Thelwall once said to Coleridge: 81
think it is unfair to influence the minds
of children by intoxicating opinions be-
fore they shall como to the years Of
discr9tio so they may choose for them
selves" CJleridge made no reply, but
asked his friend to visit his garden,
When inside he said:
'"This is my botanical garden"
"Bow can that De-" asked Toelwall,
"for it ia all overgrown with weeds2"
"O3," said Coleridge, that is only
because my garden has not come to
the age Of discretion. The weeds. you
see. have taken the liberty to grow,
and / thought it unfair TO prejudice the
soil in favor Of roses, berries and deli
cious fruits"
You ges nothing good out Of a garden
till you put something good in. There
must bs seed or there are sure to be
weeds. Do not make a mistake. The
word Of God must be planted in the
heart if god results are 60 be attained
A precious harvest only comes from
sowing precious seed, and caring for It
after il ia g0Wn-The Christian.

DIFFICULTY OF SAVING MONEY

yourself. Again, It's q great privation
for g young fellow no5 to oe we'll dressed.
Che distinction bet wcea good clothes

it IS CALLING to be conspicuous by cheap

AN UNEMPLOYED MOUNTAIN.

Among the many object of interest
that have been brought to light by the
Anglo Venezuelan dispute, there is per
haps none that claims quite 60 much
attention from the scientific world as
the so called mountain of Roraima. Sit
uated in the southwestern corner OF
Sir R)bert Schomburgk's alleged
boundary between British Guiana and
Venezuela, this wonderful geograph,
icRl phenomenon, although long known
has elected but little interest. In point
of fact, however, it is a veritable scien
tifc sphinx, the message Of WHOSE rid
die has come down intact and unread
from far geological epochs to the pres
ent time. This stupendOus mountain,
Or isolated table land, which the native
Indians call RYraima, or the mysteri,
GUS, rises high in solitary grandeur
above the surrounding mountain sys-
tenn, it's perpendicular rocky sides rem
dering it absolutely inaccessible to the
foot Of man Or beast. Drowning this
impregnable fortress Of nature ls a
tract Of territory estimated to contain
upward of one hundred and forty
square miles. Urllke other inaccessible
mountain eu nmits Of the world, this
elevated region is no mere wilderness
Of snow capped ridges. o. the CON
trary, al the indications, including the
positive evidence of the telescope, point
to it's being covered with forests, in
~tersecteG with rivers fed from lakes
and to it's possessing a climate that
must, in the nature Of things, be temper
ate-that is, neither wintry, despite its
altitude, nor tropical, despite it's equa,
toral position. 1t is to OF hoped mat
science will not much longer delay in
wrestling from it the secret it has in
closed and been waiting to divulge
through many ages. The possible re-
suit would justify almost any cost that
may be incurred in pursuance Of this
object.

A LEETLR AFRAID IT WAS A
GIRL.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says that
an aged man gauntering across Supe-
rior street the other day was somewhat
rudeIy jostled by a youthful wheelman.
The shock of the collision tumbled the
rider off. and the old gentleman prompt
IL grabbed him by the ear "Durn
you," he s2id, with considerable as
parity, 1--WE a great mind to take you
across my knee and spank you good"
But he didn't do it. He just held the
young fellow a minute, and then let
MIN go. "Why didn'a you spank him,
uncle" said q byatander. "Weil, re
piled the old man, with a humorous
twinkle, 4 certainly would if 1 hadn't
oeen e iee5ie afraid that meo5y it was
a girl"

about fifteen minutes. Pat in a beaten

be sufficient to bake, only to dry them.
When thoroughly dried they should be

They should be put 10 a shallow pan

slowly. To prevent burning turn them
two or three times while cooking and
basic with the juice. II the apples are
not very juicy, a little water and two
