PERNICIOUS LITERATURE.

The evil that comes from pernicious and
vile literature is greater than is generally
realized. Blood curdling stories. books
that eNalt robbery and piracy and evil
deeds of daring are largely circulated
among the Young where it would not be
suspected, and particularly in our public
Schools and their fruit is seen in the cor
ruption OF youth even in the best families.
The antidote to this is the circulation of
good books and the formation of better
taste for reading. Pastors and teachers
and parents should look carefully after the
reading of the young. When such books
as the Bonnie Briar Bush can be had for
five cents there is no excuse for reading
poor books.
What to one Of another habit may he a
silly book may be to another just what he
needs, because adapted to his present intel
ligence. When the book is selected one
should read intelligently, thoughtfully,
appropriatingly, digesting its truth and
making it his own. Thus the reading will
enter into and increase ones life.-Evan.

TIE BEST SPIRITUAL GUEST.

Among all the spiritual guests that cross
our Threshold Jesus is not only ncompar-
ably the best by the excellence Of His di-
vinity, but also the most intimate by the
presence of the same divinity. ! If
any one receive Him into his soul, Jesus
comes to have place His own that has no
parallel in life and which has no proof
save in experience. While the public come
and go through the house in the busy day
time, this guest keeps His room, but in
the quiet hours He sits with us. We make
Him the contidant of our secrets, but in
the end He tells us things about ourselves
we have not known We turn to Him for
help, but find He has promised what we
were about to ask. We declare good in
tention, only to remember that it was His
suggestion. His presence is an irresistible

RUNNING ON TIME.

As illustrating the degree of efficiency
to which the present management of the
B. x o. r. X. has brought is motive power
equipment and esprit de corps of the oper-
ating staff, we call attention to the fact
that during the months of April, May and
June the passenger trains and fast freight
trains have almost invariably arrived at
their respective destinations on schedule
time. The very few exceptions to the gen.
eral rule were due to causes inseparable
from railway operation, and against which
no forethought can wholly guard. 1t may
be safely said that during the period named
no road in America, comparable in magni-
tude to the B. Il O., can surpass its record
for punctuality in train movement.

DESERTERS.
journal.

In the army, during the late war, of all
base characters the deserter was regarded
as the basest. He received slender SYM
pathy, and upon his head were heaped the
heaviest anathemas. Likewise, in the
Church, of all men they are the most to he
denounced, and are the most hopelessly
fallen, who have publicly and solemnly, AS
in the presence of God, vowed fealty and
loyalty to Jesus and His cause. and then
have gone forth only to periure their souls
by willful desertion of Christ and His
people. They heap dishonor upon Christ
ianity, cause grief to the true followers of
the Most High, wound the Saviour in the
house of His friends and give occasion for
intides to scott and the world to sneer.-

Another Bond Sale Coming.

The policy of the Nation, during the
past two years, has been one of in
debtedness. And so it has been, in
too many instances. on the part of the
Individual We are confronted now
with pl OPPOSITION for new loan. If
this be put through, then the COM
bined payments for principal and in
terest of new bonded debt, incurred
under the present Administration, will
approximate half a billion dollars.
This in time of peace, and following
SO closely upon time OF unparalleled
prosperity, as We had il 1892, is ap /.
palling. And if the measures of relief
provided by the House OF Representa-
tives be killed iI the Senate, or vetoed
by the President, then it is almost
morally certain that another additional
issue of bonds vill become part and
parcel of the business of the year lS96.

raw unwashed wool used in the con-
struction Of these goods. That is to
say, the wool grower has lost the sale
to American manufacturers of 81, 000,-
900 pounds of wool heretofore sold to
them, by reason of the loss to the
home manufacturer of about $2S, 000,-
000 worth of wooden goods. requiring
in their production 1000, 900 pounds
of raw wool, previously manufactured
here, but now manufactured in Eu-
rope and exported to America, a
quantity greater than the entire an
nual unwashed clip of the States of
California, Texas, Montana and Ore
gon.
The feature, however, that is most
striking and the one causing the most
regret is the increase in the importa.
tions of shoddy, waste, rags, etc. The
increase in the importation of these
wool adulterants in Che year 1895 over
the average of the four years of 1891,
1892, 1898 aud 1894 (all but four
months of which were under the Me-
Kinley law) was over $4,000, 900
pounds. This was almost as clean as
secured wool, and required in its pro-
duction over $1,000, 900 pounds of un-
washed feeces, equal to the annual
wool crops of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New
York and Michigan or the western
wool growing States OF Utah, Califor-
MIA and Texas.
The total increase OF foreign raw
wool imported in the raw state, in the
shape of cloth, or in the form of waste.
rags, ETC., amounts to over 270, 900, 900
pounds. a quantity greater than the
entire American wool clip sborn in the
summer of 1895. These figures are
the result of the first full calendar
year of the present law. What has
been gained? A paltry increase Of
$4,000 in the exports of woolens
while our home mills have lost Eusi-
ness represented by an increase Of
SAT, 900, 600 in imports Of all sorts of
manufactures OF wool. Justice,

Bears in Cornile!dS.

In the district Of Rachinsk, in the
Trans Caucasus, bears are regarded as
the worst enemies of the maize fields,
and when the season for the maize
cobs to ripen comes round, the popu-
lation take all possible steps to pro.
tect the fruits of their toll. In the
evening, says our consul at Batoum,
the peasant, armed with a gun, kin
jal, stout oaken cudgel, or whatever
other weapon he can secure. takes all
the dogs he possesses with him and
goes off to the field, where he sleep.
lessly guards his maize during the
whole night, sometimes at the risk of
his life. He passes the night in firing
of his gun and continual shouting,
while during the day he is forced to
work to the utmost of his powers. see
ing that it is just at this period, j. e..
when the maize is ripening, that he
has to tbresh his wheat, gather in his
crop OF beans, repair his winnower,
and make ready the places for storing
his maize. If bear gets into maize
field in which he does not expect to
be disturbed during the whole night,
he first sets to work and gorges him
self; then,' feeling heavy, he begins
to roll and sprawl on his back. Hav-
ing sprawled about bit, the bear be.
gins to feel playful, and it is then
that the maize stalks suffer most se-
verely; tucking his legs under him,
he rolls head over heels from one end
of the field to the other, and in his
course he naturally breaks and rolls
down everything in his way, render
ing the whole crop useless. London

An Omaha letter to the New York
Post says there is little doubt that
there has been a heavy emigration
from Nebraska. South Dakota, AMI
Kansas during the past two or three
years as result of the three years of
dry weather. This is especially true
as regards Nebraska. Even fair ap-
Proclamation of the statistics of this
movement is possible. Most of these
people are farmers and most of them
have gone South. The past year was
disappointing one for the Nebraska
farmers. The crops were neither a
failure as in 1894 nor a big success as
in 1892. They made q small yield
over the whole State, and the prices
which have obtained have precluded
any idea of loft. With the record OF
three years in succession staring the
people in the face, it is not at all won
derful that they should have become
discouraged.
