My treasure fills but one small chest
Yet when 1 lift its lingering lid
My soul is then with sweetness blest
For there's lock of silky hair
Shining so bright with sunny gleams-
More rich to me than all the gold
That lies in beds of Afric's streams
And there l see single curl
That round my very heart entwfnes-
More precious than the dazzling gems
That sparkle from the dusky mines.
And all around, the tiny clothes
With cofors faint and faded lie;
Yet more to me than ORIENT stuffs
Or richest hues from Syrian dye.
And underneath the broken toys
Bereft of all their pristine bloom,
But valued more than curio quaint
From antique shrine or rifled tomb.

Far more than any treasure train;

The Salt Habit.

Journal of Hygiene.
The use Of salt as cOndlment Is so
general and SO universally believed In
as necessary that we rarely hear word
against its excessive nse, but there are
a multitude of persons who eat far too
much salt-eat it on every thing, on
meat, fish, potatoes, melons, in butter,
on tomatoes, turnlps and squash, in
bread and on a host of foods too num-
erous to mention. To so great an ex-
tent is it used that no food is rellshed
which has not salty taste, and this
hides more or less the real taste, which
is often very delicate. Now, the a.
mount of salt required in the system is
comparatively small ,and If the diet has
been rightly compounded very little Is
necessary. Some go SO far as to dis
card its use altogether, but whether this
is wise or not we will not here consider.
What are some of the evils of the ex-
cessive use of salt? They are to par
aIyze the nerves of taste, or to prevent
them so they cannot enjoy anything
which has not salty flavor, and in ad-
ditlon there is a direct tax on both the
skin and kidneys in removing it from
the blood. Whether the skin is harm
ed bv this tax we do not know. Possibly
it is uot greatly injured, yet we know
that few people possess healthy skin
but it is now pretty we'll settled that an
excessive use of salt does overtax the
kidneys in its removal: and that the
great number of cases of arrangement
and disease of these organs is due to
this use. It takes only little time
to learn to enjoy many kinds OF food
without salt, and we advise our readers
and others to look into this matter and
to try and diminish the use OF this con
diment so far as possible. We believe
they will be better for it.

THE PENNY IN CHURCH COL
LECTI0NS.
Such an Offering, Except From The
Poor, Is an Insult to God
and His Church.

"The important part which the penny
plays in the average church Offering is
known to every one who has ever been
interested in church finances" writes
Edward w. Box in the February Ladies
Home Journal. "And that it is part
entirely out proportion to the necessi-
ties, is felt and realized by many church
treasurer Scores of PEOPLE who could
afford to drop a nickel or dime into
the church offering, content themselves
by giving penny. The feeling is
either that the smallest offering will
do,' or the matter OF church finances Is
not given any thought. There is a
failure to realize that church is the
same as any other business institution,
and it must have money for its main
tenance.
"There Is such thing as too
literal an Interpretation of the phrase
that religion is free.' OF course, 1t is
free, and let us hope that 1t will always
be so in this country. But to make
religion free costs money-and this isn't
an Irish bull, either. There are those
to whom more than the widows mite
given to the church would mean doing
without some absolute necessity OF life.
The penny of such one is the most
welcome gift to any church, the most
noble offering which any one can
make. But from those who can give
more than penny, and who are CIV
ing only the penny, such an Offering
Is an insult to God and to His church,
aud the sooner people see the matter
in this hard true light the better. am
almost tempted to say that the great
majority of churches could. with per-
fect Justice, rule out the penny from
their offerings. Were this done the
nlckle would be the prevailing Offering,
and to how few persons, when one stops
to consider the question, would such
an offering be a hardship or an Inn
possibility? A yearly Offering OF two
dollars and sixty cents, calculating that
one attended church once each Sunday,
or twice, with one Offering Of five cents,
would galvanlze the church finances OF
this country"

A few lawyers were sitting In one of
the city restaurants a few days ago eat
ing lunch, and discussing different sub
jects, says the Sioux City Journal, when
one OF them told the following story:
This occurred some years ago in the Of
flee of a former justice of the peace. An
attorney, who has since left Sioux City,
had been engaged to defend a man for
the crime of petty larceny. The lawyer
knew that the case against his client was
pretty strong one, and he decided TO
beard the lion in his den. AS he entered
the room he told the justice Of the case.
the name of his client, and added he did
not think there was any evidence to con-
vict. At the same time he slipped a 500
gold piece in the hand of the Justice and
gave him a knowing wink. The court
said nothing but pulling open the cash
drawer, slipped the money in. The case
went to trial, and after the evidence had
all been introduced there appeared 10 be
no question of the guilt of the defendant.
But his counsel was confident thinking
the gold piece had done the work. The
court then summed up the case. and to
the establishment of the defendants conn
sci, said:
The court finds the defendant guilty.

Taxes on CeIibacy.

A bill to tax bachelors 81 per year was in
troduced in the legislature of New Jersey
recently. When the bill came up for a sec
ond reading a member moved as an amend
ment that the words, land old maids" be
inserted in the instrument wherever it was
necessary to prevent discrimination against
male celIbates. The amendment prevailed,
and odd maids" was written into the bill,
which passed to its third reading.
And, as a matter of equity and Justice,
why should not the amendment have been
passed? All of the old bachelors are not to
blame for their condition of single cuss-
edness." In a great many instances they
are unmarried because of circumstances
over which they had no control, and it
would be rank discrimination to tax them
while permitting the old maids to go free.
Suppose that an old bachelor had become
one through the fact that the girl of his
choice had promised to "be a sister to
him." and would be nothing more; would
1t be right to tax the man and let the wo-
man off? Should the men so around adver-
Using their hearts at bargain sales, and
throwing in a chrome for lagnlappe, in or
der to get married? Should a man be
mulcted for 81 per year if perchance nature
has made him modest: too modest to pop
the question to the girl he likes best of
them all? Should the girl be relieved from
all responsibility, from all blame if she
failed to help him along, under such cir
cumstances? Rather it would be better if
the New jersey legislature should increase
the number of leap years; make every year
a leap year, and order a st. Valentine 5
day in each month of the twelve.
The question arises, how would the New
Jersey bill, as amended, be enforced if it
were to become law? When does a woman
become an old maid? That question, up to
the present time, has not been satisfactorily
answered If it were placed in the hands
of the tax levying and tax collecting au-
thorities, it might be difficult to induce
peace loving persons to accept those Of
fees, for obvious reasons.

because the 2. T. NJ. of the P. s. and the

special rates the gala week would proba-

short, according to the advices, unless
Col. Wrenn and Capt Mcdonald meet.
there will be no festival. That excuse
may be good enough in the absence of a

low rates for the gala week, they will
