A Profitable Can Of Mill

A certain man arrived at Johannes
burg in the early days of the mining
boom, with no assets save a tin of
condensed milk and a needle. He
spread a report that smallpox was on
its way through the country, gave out
that he was a surgeon and yaccinated
the whole community with his needle
and condensed milk at 5 shillings per
operation. When last heard of he was
a wealthy capitalist, enjoying the mon
opoly of selling liquors within the pre-
cincts of the johannesburg Stock Ex-

The Well Dressed Man.

There Is certain professor in cer-
tain university Of the United States who
once, at the beginning Of one of his leo
lures on fine arts, got on the subject Of
the kind of pins worn in the neckties of
young college men. He was good leo
turer and was always interesting, but
this lecture was the most interesting Of
his course to the 800 boys who heard
him, and the whole hour was spent on
necktie pins, their use and misuse and
what they suggested. The gist of what
reason why boy should wear a horse
shoe with whip across it all in gold
than that houses should have sieves for
roofs, and that as it was extremely
foolish to put big sieve on your house
for roof SO it was quite as foolish to
wear horseshoes on your neokties. The
principle Of this is that you should have
q reason III what you wear as we'll as in
other things and that sense!ess decora-
tions, like horseshoes on neckties or
neokties on horseshoes, are silly and un-
becoming to self respecting person.
This particular example was only one
to illustrate a principle, which is that
nothing unusual, queer out of the or
dinary. is in itself good thing-that,
in fact, most things that are queer and
out Of the ordinary are likely, in the
question Of dress, to be in bad taste. A
man dress ought to be quiet, but 1t
must be clean and we'll taken care of in
every instance. The best dressed man is
the man who, In whatever company he
finds himself, is inconspicuous; who.
you realize in an indefinite way, is we'll
appointed, though you cannot we'll tell
why. -Harper's Round Table.

Educating Soldiers.

1t is striking fact that the govern
ment makes elaborate, expensive, and
perfect provision for the training and
instruction Of the few young men who
are expected to serve 1t as soldiers, and
yet the youth Of the land receive prac-
tically no training in the higher duties
of citizenship. The citizen is Of vastly
more Importance than the soldier, and
it is proportionately as important that
those duties should be fully under
stood. It does not follow that this in.
structlon should be either at govern
ment expense or under governmental
direction or control, but it does seem
that the citizen should be instructed in
his duties and responsibilities to and
rights under the government as that
its soldiers should be familiar with
theirs. The business of killing men
seems to be the only one which has
the especial care OF the government in
the instruction OF youth. Is 1t not
quite as important that our youth be
instructed in the best ways to avoid
a resort to such means or be taught the
most practical and scientific means by
which men may be fed, clothed, and
sheltered, and their lives rendered
happy and eDjoyable?--Watc

Defeat Of the Pacific Railroad Bill.

Defeat Of the Pacific Railroad Bill.
The defeat of the Union and Central
Pacific railroads funding bill in the
house of representatives last week was
just what was expected. The territory
through which the roads run strongly
opposed the measure, and the Western
states in general were against 1t. OF
course partisan lines were not drawn
on it. Eighty-six Of the 102 votes in
favor of the measure were cast by Re.
publicans and sixteen by Democrats,
while the 1853 votes cast against ii
came from ninety-nine Republicans,
fifty-eight Democrats, five 1ndepend
ents and six Populists.
1t was the purpose Of the bill to per.
nit the issue of new bonds to the
amount of about $4,000, 900 in behalf
of the Union and Central Pacific rail-
roads, the bonds to RUN eighty years,
and the rate of interest to be about
per cent. In addition, the railroads
were to pay sufficient sum in annual
installments to extinguish the princi.
pal in the period covered by the bonds.
The debt due the government by the
two roads is in the neighborhood Of
100000, and as security the gov.
ernment has lien on both lines

"FOUNDED IN BLOOD"
A Chicago Preacher Who Calls q Spade
Il Spade:


Il Spade.
Our university in Chicago has been
founded in blood and must and will
fall"
This is the startling denulciation
said to have been made by Dir. w. w.
Boyd Of the Second Baptist church at
the ministers weekly conference re-
Gently. Thirty ministers were present
and the charge created a profound SEN
sation.
DR.. Boyd referred to the Chicago
University, the largest Baptist educa-
tional institution in the United States.
The university was founded by John
D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil king,
who gave $3,0O0,00O 1t is supported
by many other large endowments and
by subscriptions from Baptists all over
the country.
Among the statements, he said
"The press, the pulpit, and all profess
sions, especially that Of law, are the
allies and hangers-on Of capitalist bri-
gands."
Another argument presented by DR..
Boyd was that society was divided into
drones, who are inventors; brlgands
who are the manufacturers and their
allies; and the robbed wage-earners,
and, he added for himself, that the
wage-system, as at present established,
is in large part to be blamed for exist
ing misery, and that "all capital is
feecings, and wealth is the aceumu-
lation of these fleecings."
DR.. Boyd passed to the Standard Oil
Company, and, it is said, made start.
ling declarations concerning its meth.

A spirited discussion followed. Rev
Colwell sounded an attack upon Car.
