Against this aggregation of

monetary resources worth men
tionipg, al d must depend almost
exclusively On the patriotism. good
common sense and rugged integ-
rity of the mass. An Industrious
effort has been made to break the
force of this exposure. The gold
ties have tried to make the people
believe that a little handful of sill
ver-mine owners who have accum-
ulated fortunes are the fellows
who are responsible for the effort
TO re enfranchise silver.
The truth is, and the Mckinley
ties know 1t that many of the rich
silver men live in Europe, and a
still larger number in Boston,

of the gold standard. The strong

Extraordinary Smuggling.

The genius of the smuggler is very remarkable thing. If the general run of men and women who try to get the better of the custom officials would turn their ingenuity to the profession of invention, and try to be honest, in the end it would prove more profitable for many of them. One of the most amusing stories of smugglers is that told by an Englishman, who imported into his own country number of fine fat geese at the Christmas season many years ago. One of them having ex- cited the suspicious of the inspectors by its wonderful weight. was killed and opened, upon which it was discovered, says the chronicle, that there was con- cealed within it a number of small dutiable articles. The rest of the flock having been similarly inspected, 1t was found that their owner had compelled the unhappy birds to swal- low large quantity of stuff upon which there was heavy duty, and which would have all come in free had not the first goose excited the sus- pieion of those in charge.-Harper's Young People.

BRAIN WORK AND VITALITY.
Mental Exercise Is Said to Be Conducive to
 Longevity.

Mental Exercise Is Said to Be Conducive to
 Longevity.
 As factor in longevity the London Speaker calls attention to the fact that those people who have been accustomed to the continued disciplinary use of their brains daily and who have placed their nerve power under highly-de- veloped constitutional training are en- abled by these very means to escape the so-called early decay and to avoid those alarming accidents to health from which so many apparently healthy men succumb. People who use their brains and observe ordinary hygienic care of their bodies resist diseases in the first place; and when they are actually i'll they prolong their lives or recuperate sooner than do those who have lived less intellectual lives. Thus there is given a new force to the asser- tion that you may kill a man with anxiety very quickly, but it is difficult to kill him with work.
 Whether the brain can actually give power to the muscles is not certain, though the enormous strength some times developed in last rally looks very much like it. That it can material ly affect vitality is quite certain, and has been acknowledged by the expert enced in all ages.

His Glorious Self-Sacriice in the Min
 nesota Forest Fire.

neSOta Forest Fire.
 The exploit of the brave engineer who piloted his train through the tor nado of flame in the Minnesota forest fires and rescued swarms of terror stricken refugees has made him famous; but the self-sacrifce of a poor parish priest in Hinckley has hardly been mentioned, although there was in it much of the finest quality of heroism, says the Youths Companion.
 From the moment when the destruc- tion of the town was menaced by the rapidly advancing wave of flame, he ceased to think of himself and devoted all his energies of mind and body to the protection and rescue of others.
 He went from house to house, warn ing the inmates of their peril, and beg ging them to take refuge in sand pits where there was water. While panic stricken men were harnessing horses and frantically seeking to escape into the burning woods, he was calm and collected, reassuring everyone whom he met, yet pointing out the only chance of safety.
 He led one group after another to the sandpits when they were beside them selves from fear and excitement. When one place of refuge was overcrowded he found another, and begged the strag- glers to follow him.
 The woods were flaming on every side, and the refugees standing in the water felt in their faces the scorching breath of the storm of fire. The good priest had words of encouragement for all. He held children in his arms; he supported fainting women when they he put the stoutest-hearted man to shame by his coolness, cheerfulness and energy.
 With his hat he poured water on the heads of women and children in that fiery furnace. He took the coat from his back and tore it in half One frag- ment he dipped in water and bandaged the forehead of woman with a child clinging to her. The other half he wound around the heads of two help less children whose faces were scorched with the heat of the burning forest.
 Bareheaded and in shirt-sleeves he stood among the dying and ministered to them while he had strength tC stand, eyes to see and voice to utter words of comfort and hope. His was the spirit of self-sacrifice and of minis try to the needy, and whether shown in Catholic'or in Protestant it is worthy of high commendation.
 The flight of the train through the burning forest was the more stirring story in print, but what could have been nobler or more heroic than this devoted mans work among his flock!
 There were deeds of valor and chiv airy before the walls of Zutphen 1T Flanders, but one act of self-sacriice alone is remembered. Sir Philip Sid ney, wounded, dying and burning witt thirst, put away from his own lips the | bottle of water which had been brought to him in his agony and gave it to : common soldier covered with gore wht had glanced at him wistfully.

REFLECTION.

IT IS we'll to sit down OCCASION
a]lv and take a mental survey OF
the past; to review the incidents OF
life remembered as most fruitful OF
pleasure, pain or regret. From
memory we gather the material
for reflection, the inspiration for
better resolves and the hope tor
new life. Reflection is the stlmu-
lus to thought, and when awak-
ened the results OF experience
form mental images to contem-
plate, to Judge and to value. When
we reflect. we are sensible OF
higher appreciation Of those traits
Of character that blend best with
the good and noble, and which we
feel an innate longing to possess.
The regretted acts Of life are the
ones that teach best, impress deep

ance. The duty Of reflection Is
to weigh we'll in the mental bal

and moral weaknesses that com
