The Grain=O Law Suit.

Rochester, N. y, May "A, 1897 THE great
$4,000 damage suit instituted by Michigan
Cereal Company against the Genesee Pure
Food Company is at an end. They settled
it and took it out of court for the ridiculous
ly small sum Of $500, and, as practical re-
suit, GranO is in greater demand than
ever. The new plant, only just completed,
is to be duplicated, so that not only the old
friends of the delicious food drink which
completely takes the place of coffee, but the
new friends it is making every day, can be
supplied. The beverage which the children,
as well as the adult, may drink with benefit,
will be furnished in unlimited quantities
Suits may come and suits may go, but Grain
goes ON forever.-N. Y. Mail and Express

The visit Of a delegation of South
American merchants and business men to
the United States last week shows that the
shrewd business people of that part of
the world recognize the fact that party
favorable to closer business relations be-
tween the American Republics is in pow
Ell in this country. The contrast between
the methods of the Republicans and the
Democrats in encouraging close trade re-
lations between all Americas is so strong
ly marked that people of those countries
found no difficulty in recognizing the Re
publican victory of 1896 as an assurance
that THEN trade ENJOYS would be welcom-
ed and their protfers of closer business
relations likewise.

The gold production of 1897 is Ii kelly to
exceed that of 1896, which was the largest
in the history Of the world Advices
from Ecuador show that mines being de-
veloped there are reported as richer and
more extensive than those Of South Afri-
ca where such enormous quantities Of
gold have recently been produced. New
mines are being developed in Mexico,
Texas, and other parts of the Southwest,
while the new methods applied i'll the
old gold mines of Georgia, Alabama, and
North Carolina are making them profit
able, and the quantity of gold produced
is very considerable. Almost every gold
producing country in the world increased
its output in 1896 over 1895, and indica
tons are that 1897 will witness the great
est years production of the world.

The Boy Work ell Up.

One day many years ago a bright
boy found employment III q photo
graph gallery in Nashville, Tenn.
His wages were small but he took good
care of them, and in course he had
saved O snug little sum of money.
One day a friend less thrifty than he,
came to him with a long face and
asked for loan Of money, offering q
book as security. Although the other
knew there was little probability OF
of his ever being repaid, he could not
refuse the request.
"Here is the money; keep your book,
and repay me when you cam"
The grateful lad went away in such
haste that he left the book behind.
The kind youth with curiosity ex-
amined the vlume. 1t was work on
astronomy, by Dick, and so fascinated
him that he sat up all night studying
| it. He had never seen anything
which so filled him with delight. He
determined to learn all he could about
the wonders of the heavens. lie be-
gan thenceforth 10 read everything he
could obtain relating to astronomy.
The next step was to buy a small
spyglass, and night after night he
spent most of the hours on the roof of
his house, studying the STARS. lie Sc
cured, secondhaud, the tube of a larger
spyglass, into which be fitted an eye
piece, and sent TO Philadelph for All
object glass. BY and by he obtained Il
five-inch glass, which, as you know,
is an instrument Of considerable size.
Meanw while he worked faithfully in
the shop of the photographer, but his
Dights brought him rare delight: for
he never wearied Of tracing out the
wonders and marvels of the worlds
around US. With the aid Of his large
spyglass he discovered two comets be-
fore they were seen by any Of the pro-
fessloual astronomers, whose superior
instruments were continually roaming
the heavens in search of the celestial
wanderers. This exploit, you may
well suppose, made the boy famous.
He was visited by the professors in
Vanderbilt to go thither and see what
he could do with their siX-inch tele-
scope. In the course Of the following
four years he discovered six comets.
He was next engaged by the Lick
Observatory in California. With the
aid of that magnificent thirty-six inch
refracting telescope, the largest ever
made, he discovered eight comets, and
last summer astonished the world by
discovering the fifth satellite Jubiter.
He invepted new method Of photo
graphing the nebule In the milky way,
aud has shown an originality ap-
preaching genius in his work i'll star
photography.
Perhaps you have already guessed
the name of this famous astronomer,
which is Prof. f. E. Barnard, of the
Lick Observatory, and this is the story
of how lie worked up.-Chicago

Our Smaller Colleges.

"There are few striking facts about
the small American college," writes
Edward w. Box in the August Ladies
Home Journal. zone striking fact is
that sixty per cent. of the brainiest
Americans who have risen to promi-
nence and success are graduates OF col
leges whose names are scarcely known
outside of their own State. 1t is a
fact, also, that during the past ten
years the majority of the new and best
methods eff Iearning have animated
from the smaller colleaes, and have
been adoqted later by the larger ones.
Because college happens 10 be un-
known two hundred miles from the
place of its location does not always
mean that the colleg is not worthy OF
wider repute' The fact cannot be dis
puted that the most direct teaching,
and necessarily the teaching most pro-
ductive Of good results, is being done
in the smaller American colleges.
The names of these colleges may not
he familiar to the majority Of people,
but that makes them none the less
worthy places of learning. The larger
colleges are uneeslionably good. But
there are smaller colleges just as good.
and, in some respects, better. Some of
the finest epucators we have are at
tached to the facilities of the small in
stitutions of learning. Young girls or
young men who are being educated at
one of the smaller colleges need never
feel that the fact of the college being
smell one places them at a disadvan-
tage in comparison with the friend or
com panion who has been sent to
larger and better-known college. 1t
is not the college: it Is the student"

being always above everything petty

conversation which was confidential.
1t may happen TO yoI, for instance
TO be visiting in the home of a relative
or friend, where there may be little
friction at the table or where some
anxiety arises about the course of q
member of the family. No matter
what YOU see or hear, in such circum-
stances you are bound, if you are an
honorable person, to be silent about
it, neither making comments or look

YOU choose, nor in any way alludlng to
what is unpleasant at any future time.

A Terrible Ordeal.

There is no bitterer experience than
to find out that the friend whom we
loved and trusted is really unworthy Of
our esteem. We have supposed him,
let us say, to be magnanimously
capable of acting from the loftiest mo-
tives. But we discover that, on the
contrary, he is selfish, narrew, and
spiteful. We have stood py him. 1t
may be, when the storms broke over
his head, and have pnt our arms around
him; aud we dreamed that if the day
of disaster should come to US he would
show an equal reguard for our sorrow,
But, to our amaZement, he proves as
indifferent as stone. Not even by a
hand grasp or movement of the lips
does he reveal the slightest token Of
sympathy or brotherly reguard.
The dIsclorure of his bascness is q
terrible shOch to us, and threatens for
a time overthrow our faith in human
nature. So contrary is it to our ex-
pcctations that for a time We put it
away from us, and refuse TO believe
that i! can be so. But at last no room
is left for doubt, and our disenchant-
ment becomes complete. The facts
press drearily down upon our souls,
and burn into US the convition that
we should be glad to reject. 1t is like
being jabbed in vital organ with a
dull and rusty blade. The pain is all
the more intense for not being Instant
ly fatal. Alas! Alas. who has not
endured il?
One of the most pathetic utterances
of the Psalmist is this: "Yea, mine
own familiar friend, in whom |
trusted, which did eat of my bread,
hath lifted up his heel against me-"
To be treated with indifference by one
upon whom we have showered the
wealth of our affection is bad enough,
but to be actually opposed, maligned,
prosecuted by him is a great deal
worse. Nothing except the grace OF
God can enable us to bear such a mis-
fortune without becoming hard and
misanthropicnl. When the trial
comes we shall have abundant need
for prayer, for patience, and for watch.
fulness against temptation.
