FACTS WORTH READING.

Do you use whiskey for medical purposes or
on your sideboard If so, is it not the first
thought to get an absolutely pure article, free
from all authorizations. How can you letter
accomplish this than by buying direct from
the distiller. Did you ever stop to think
when buying a gallon of whiskey how many
profits you have paid from distiller to jobber,
from jobber to retail dealer and from retail
dealer to consumer; three profits added to
the cost. In buying from distiller you pay
one fair profit, get goods direct from the dis
tlller free from all fusil oil and adulteration.
If my goods are not satisfactory they can be
returned and money will cheerfully be re-
funded. | ask for the first order you will ask
for the second. Get a good article or nome

The purposes OF such an organi-

II evidently will. We understand
that in short time the society will
call a meeting OF the citizens for
the purpose OF soliciting all per-
sons Interested to join the society
aud lend their aid in carrying out
the purposes of their organization.
Our people should give this matter
liberal thought. and when the call
is made every one should turn out
and help to further the interests of
these organizers; and church and
society people especially should
take an interest in the work as it is
in direct line with their teachings
and beliefs.

The Nirtne In Thrift.
The Two Blocks of Stores~~~~-~-~~
The Hall Block--the Carten Block

We should say that the virtue in
thrift, so far as there is virtue in it
and we have met with il i'll some Of the
meanest as well AS some of the noblest
of mankind-lay in the development
which the practice must give to the
power of self control. There are many
higher occasions for the exercise of that
high quality, but there are none, except
in the case of i'll tempered iien, which
recur so frequently. All men naturally
like to spend, and to be thrifty the re-
solve not to spend whenever expendi-
ture is avoidable must be acted on 20
times week and will in a short time
exercise a perceptible influence on the
character. The man learns to resist mo-
mentary temptation and becomes there
fore stronger man, just as white
man becomes more enduring from the
constant wearing of clothes. The weight
of clothes is seldom great, but the per-
petual habit of carrying them almost
imperceptibly strengthens the muscles.
The thrifty man is more master of him
self than the extravagant man and in
self mastery is one most fertile seed of
virtue.
But thrift in itself is not virtue any
more than pillow is agriculture or
mathematics accuracy Of thought. The
best test of this is that a Christian
teacher who in England would incul-
cate thrift would in many another
country be compelled to condemn it as
Of all qualities the one which most in
terfered with freedom of the spirit.
Now a virtue which is real virtue and
not merely an expedient practice must
be as independent of national manners
as of geography. No doubt in England
the use Of carefulness needs to be incul-
Gated, the typical Englishman, if he
wants sparrows, being ready to shy at
them with half crowns, but it should be
taught as arithmetic is taught, not
praised as a Christian virtue. London

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

As the new Congressional library at
Washington is now in full running or
der it is at least possible to make intel
ligent comment upon some of its meth
DDS of operation. Although primarily
intended for the use of members of the
federal Legislature the Congressional Ii
brary is also open to the public, and it
would seem, therefore, that catalogue
of some kind should be available to the
general readers. Such is not the case,
however, as congressman only have ac-
cess to the catalogue.
AS the law provides that a copy Of
every copyrighted book published in the
United States shall be presented to the
library there is an enormous collection
of books upon great variety of sub.
jects, good, bad and Indifferent, but
there is, on the other hand, a remark
able paucity of standard literary works,
especially of those published in other
countries. A student of Italian litera-
ture recently presented a list of 10
classical works in that language at the
librarian s desk and was told that none
of them was in the collection. 1t was
said, in fact, that the library had had
but one Italian book, and that had been
lost.
1t was learned on further inquiry
that the principal use made of the libra
ry by congressman is to obtain the
latest novels for the ladies Of their fam.
lilies. Occasionally some curious requi-
sitions come from congressman in search
of knowledge, as was exemplified in a
recent memorandum order sent to the
librarian for copy of the "Encyclope-
dia Botannica. "-Philadelphia Record.
