they are suffered to interfere with cour-
age, heroism and duty. When they oc-
cupy the thoughts, to the exclusion of
active exertion; when they make in
roads on the purse, to the detriment of
higher needs, or obligations to others,
they certainly become luxurjes that
ought to be discarded.
1t is utterly futile to set up any stand
ard of luxury for all men alike or, in
deed, for any two men alike. In the
first place, taste and desires differ as
widely as the features of the face, or
the shape of the figure. What gives
pleasure to one man may weary an
other, and disgust third. What to
one is coveted luxury, to another is
an unwelcome burden. Then, too, the
special circumstances which surround
each man must regulate his own stand
ard. Much that would give a reasona-
BILE pleasure to one who owes no man
anything, would be an unwarrantable
luxury to another, who must go in debt
to secure it. The pleasures of travel or
of study or of art may be perfectly JUS
tifable for one who has no conflicting
duties; but the very same things may
be forbidden luxuries to another who
will have to curtail his family's COM
fort, or his children's education, to en-
able him to enjoy them. So, in the life
of everyone there are times when in
diligence in some pleasure is perfectly
innocent, and other times when the
same qualification ought to be sub
dued. No one can decide these things
for another; each one must accept the
responsibility for himself and abide by
the consequences.
Yet this need not be an inscrutable
problem, nor even a perplexing one, if
we only bear in mind there is certain
rank always to be observed in our de-
sires and that they should be cultiva-
ted or restrained accordingly. 1t can
not be honorable to indulge in any
luxury that shall weaken our faculties
or unfit us for life of exertion or in
terfere in our duties to the family, to
society, to the poor and suffering, to
humanity at large. What tends to
dislocation in the character, to discord
in the life, to the conflict of desire with
duty, or of pleasure with integrity
may without hesitation be regarded as
a luxury to be at once curtailed, if
not entirely abandoned.-Ph Philadelphia

Obstacles, hardships, are the chisel and
mallet which shape the strong life into
beauty. The rough ledge on the hill
side complains of the drill, of the
blasting powder which disturbs its
peace of centuries; it is not pleasant to
be rent with powder, to be hammered
and squared by. the quarrymen. But
look again; behold the magnificent
statue, the monument, chiseled into
grace and beauty, telling its grand
story OF valor in the public square for
centuries. The statue would have slept
in the marble forever but for the blast
ing, the chiseling, and the polishing.
The angel of our higher and nobler

THE CONQUEST OF OBSTACLES.

When God wants to educate a man.
he does not send him to school to the
Graces, but to the Necessities. Through
the pit and the dungeon Joseph came
to throne. We are not conscious of
the mighty cravings of our half divine
humanity; we are not aware of the god
within us until some chasm yawns
which must be filled, or until the rend-
ing asunder of our affections forces us
to become conscious of a need. Paul
in his Roman cell; John Huss led to
the stake at Constance; Tyndale dying
in his prison at Amsterdam; Milton,
amid the incipient earthquake throes
of revolution, teaching two little boys
in Aldgate street; David Livingstone,
worn to a shadow, dying in a negro
hut in Central Africa, alone-what
failures they might all to themselves
have seemed to be, yet what mighty
purposes was God working out by
their apparent humiliations.

great proportion of the criminals are
between twenty and thirty years of age.
The whole number is divided, as to
ages, in this way: Below fifteen years,
I'll; between fifteen and nineteen, 1884;
between twenty and twentyfOur, 49,,
7O5; between twenty-five and twenty
nine, 16,348; between thirty and thirty
four, 1868; between thirty-fve and
thirty-nine, 1929; and from this point
on the number steadily decreases. The
fact that the majority of crimes are
committed by people under thirty is not
new, but the fact that the greater num-
ber of these are committed by people
under twenty-five is a feature with
which we do not believe many people
are familiar, while the appalling num-
ber of criminals under twenty is the
keynote of the whole.
The most advanced penologists have
recognized this phase of criminal phe-
nomena and are working as much as
possible on the basis thus established.
1t is among the youthful criminals that
the most earnest work and the most
scientific methods are being put to use.
The reform schools and reformatories
are the great feature of penal work at
present and are coming to be recog-
nized as vitality important by all think
ing people. There is, however, duty
for the public which lies still further
back than the reform school, and that
is, the public school, in which the chill
dren of all classes are found. The best
of schools cannot wholly root up what
the vicious home implants in the child
nature. But the earlier the seeds of
good are planted in the human heart
the more chance they have of fructify
ing. Any experienced person will tell
you that the kindergarten is among
the most potent reformatory forces.
Face the fact that there were 9,695
minors in the prisons of this country
in 1890 and then, if you dare, take the
sponsibility of leaving a single means
unused of instilling the principles of
order and virtue into American youth

YOUNG MAN, THIS is FOR YOU.

Save part of your weekly earnings,

Buy nothing until you can pay for it,

The young man who has grit enough
to follow these rules will have taken
the first step upward to success in
business. He may be compelled to
wear coat a year longer, even if it be
questionable; he may have to live in
smaller house than some of his ac-
quaintances; his wife may not sparkle
with diamonds nor be resplendent in
silk and satin, just yet; his children may
not be dressed as dolls or popinjays;
his table be plain and wholesome, and
the whiZ of the beer and champagne
cork may never be heard in his dwell
ing; he may have to get along without
the earliest fruits and vegetables; he
may have to abjure the clubroom or
the theater, and the gambling hell and
to reverence the Sabbath day and read
the precepts of the Bible instead; but he
will be better off in every way for this
self-discipline. Yes, he may do all
these without detriment to his man.

THE CRIMINAL AGE.

Among the criminal statistics issued
the other day by the federal census
bureau appeared some disturbing indi-
cations and some which are deeply sig-
nificant. The figures are, of course, six
years old, since they were taken from
the facts of 1890. But they show the
increase of crime by decades and cer-
tain tendencies as we'll. The increase
in the total number of prisoners since
1850 has been from 6,737 in 1850 to 49,
OS6 in 1860, 32,901 in 1870, $500 in 1880
and S2,329 in 1890. This includes all
prisoners in all prisons in the United
States. The ratio of prisoners to popu-
lation has grown from 29O in every
million inhabitants to 1875. The in
crease has been more rapid with every
successive decade and we can hardly
doubt that the census of 1900 will show
still greater increase. There is to be
considered the probability that the laws
are more stringently enforced now than
they were in 1850, but the increase can
not be laid to that cause entirely or
even largely. 1t arises from other and
less hopeful sources. The reckless ad-
ministration of our immigration laws
may have been partially responsible.
There are two features which are
worthy of being noted in this connec.
tion. One is that only one in thirteen
of these prisoners are women. The al
most invariable predisposition of Judge
and jury in favor of a woman would
make slight difference in the number
of women convicted, but would not, OF
course, begin to account for so great a
discrepancy. What is most significant
in the whole report is the fact that the

LUXURY.

There certainly never was, and prof.
ably never will be, consensus of opin-
ion as to the real signifcation of lux
ury. AS generally applied, it means
excessive pleasure, usually of the ap-
petite and senses, although it is occa-
sionally connected with higher kind
of enjoyment, as when we speak of
the luxury of doing good. In its COM
mon acceptation, however, it implies
the free use of those delights which
money can buy; and, therefore, there
is no universal standard by which to
measure it. The INDECENT and desti-
tute man regards his neighbor who is
warmly housed and sufficiently fed as
living in luxury; while from him, up
to the millionaire, there is hardly sim
gle person who would acknowledge
that he was living life of luxury, al
though he easily sees many others who
are doing so. On the other hand, some
luXuries everything which is consumed,
without being manifestly productive
This would include, not only dainty
food, expensive clothing and rich fur
nishings, but also art, literature, music
and all that ministers to the sense of
beauty or the culture of the mind. Are
these properly so called? and if So,
ought the word always to convey the
sense of reproach which so generally
clings to it? If not, if it is sometimes
d good and sometimes an evil, at what
point does it change its character :?
and how can we decide when to admit
it and when to Danish it?
Perhaps some answer to these vexed
questions may be found in the deriva-
tion Of the word itself. 1t is taken
from the Latin zuUus, meaning to dis
locate, and there is an old English
word, now obsolete, 11tI, which means
to put out of place, or out of joint.
Now, as in the human frame any
dislocation disturbs the harmonious
working of the various functions and
impairs the welfare of the whole, so
whatever is out of place in the habits
or the character Injuries the entire
man, and the same truth holds good
of society or nation. The various
pleasures of life are all good and de-
sirable in their place, It is when they
are dislocated, out of joint with the rest
of the life, that they interfere with
its duties and responsibilities and di-
minish its value. Take the common
satisfaction of the appetites, for ex-
ample. The natural pleasure that is
connected with this is healthful and
desirable just as long as it maintains
its rightful place. But when the gour-
mand eats to excess, and the epicure
employs his time, thoughts and money
in procuring dainties that will give
him not more, but less vigor of mind
and body, then we rightly say that he
is luxurious in the evil sense of the
term. So material comfort, ease ano
beautiful surroundings are good, unless

THE DARKEST HOUR IS JUST BE
FORE THE DAWN.

sssssssssssssssH
The darkest hour is just before day.
Over and over the words we say;
AS borne along on the waves of life,
Wounded and hurt by the whirl and strife,
We bind the bruises, and hopefully say
The darkest hour is just before day.
Our castles fallen, our dreams long flown
The work of our hands around us strewn,
A mass of ruins, and as desOlate
AS the SaharaS, and as dark as fate.
STILL just as assuringly hope will say
The darkest hour is just before day
Then up again, and onward we press;
Our feet are bleeding, our hearts no less.
Painting we fall and are cheated again
BY mirage bliss, that proves but pain.
But ever, as smilingly hope will say
1.-The darkest hour is just before day
Friends proved faithless, like shadows they fed
Alone, alone. we stand by our dead.
flushing the sObs, we will not complaint
Soon we are making our idols again.
For faith and hope will unitedy say
The darkest hour is just before day."
And they may be right-we know not all
OF Gods great plan for his children small;
And all will be we'll, if understood,
In the sweet light of his fatherhOOd.
And the angel, Hope, may truthfully say
THE darkest hour is just before day."
Success is never what it would seem.
Nor failure so bad as often we dream.
What is, is right, the poet hath said
Gods ways are so, if Alright they are read;
And the mnistering angel still may say
THE darkest hour is just before day."
If aspiring ambition and aim
Makes the most of the heart and brain,
And effort, not gain, uplifts the soul,
Enriching it still, as eternities roll,
Then hope may ever triumphantly say
The darkest hour is just before day."
