No deeds OF fame enshrined his name
No laurel wreath or bay;
And yet he made earth happier;
He whistled on the way.
When sorrow frowned and stars wers
drowned
In stormy skies ana gray,
He saw the light stream through thI
night;
He whistled on the way!
And even grief found sweet relief
Hope shed brighter ray.
And hearts he knew not blessed him
For whistling on the way!
And when from life's dark shadows
He passed into the day
They wrote above, this line of love;
He whistled on the way!"

Somewhere there are sweet zephyrs blow

Somewhere there are lovers who stray
In pastures where roses are growing;
But that doesn't help her who must stay
Where chilling winds howl through the

Whose new winter hat blows away
And Is stopped by the dray horses feet!
Somewhere It is sprIngtine to-day,
Somewhere they are picking red roses;
Somewhere there are lambkils ct play

The Laugh Wasn't en- the Boy.

1t is said that Professor Blackie
often told this anecdote ION himself. "
This genial old professor used to form
a very picturesque feature in the
Edinburgh streets. He was a wiry
old patriarch, with handsome features
and hair falling in ringlets about his
shoulders. No one who had seen him
could possibly forget him. One day
he was accosted by very dirty little
bootblack with his "Shine your boots,
sir?" The professor was impressed
by the filthiness Of the boys face.
II don't want shine, my lad, !"
said he, but if you'll go and wash
your face I'll give you six pence.
"a RIGHT, sir, was the lad 8 reply.
Then he went over to neighboring
fountain and made his ablutions. Re-
turning, he held out his hand for the
money.
"Weil, my lad" said the professor
you have earned your six peuce.
Here it is.''
II dinna wanti it." returned the boy,
with lordly air. "Ye can keep it
and get your hair cut. College Jour

great father Of the institution, and in
one breath knocks ell of the morality
out OF it and declares that it never
was 80 intended, that he fooled the
Prohihitica:sts Of the State, and led
from the path Of rectitude, the ''cow-
ards and hypocrites.
And so it was not passed because Of
its moral features. it was not intended
to curtail the sale Of whiskcy, but it
was intended to give the people all
they want of good quality of whis-
key.
True this is not much information
to great many people, but the writer
is glad to have it from so high an au-
thority as Senator Tillman. He is
glad to have the system unmasked and
let it stand out before the people for
what it really is, scheme to give the
people all they want to drink and make
money for the State.
Shorn Of its so-called morality and
declared by its father to be simply
whiskey selling scheme for the sake
of revenue only.
If such is the dispensary, let the
people who have been supporting it
for morality sake take due notice and
form themselves accordingly.
By the way, it might be profitable
to know some Of the towards and hy-
pocrites who were members of the
General Assembly in 1892. 1t is USE
less to call names, but the writer
knows some Of them personally and
good many Of them by reputation,
good men and true. who will not ap-
preciate being called towards and hy-
pocrites, and whose shoes Senator
Tillman is not worthy to unlatch.

and living often conceal it, but change
this and the real condition of the
moderate drinker will appear.
To call all moderate users Of spirits
inebriates would seem to be an extreme
statement, and yet careful study Of
the best of these cases reveals many
startling facts Of both physical and
mental disease. The continuous use
of alcohol is beyond all question pois-
onous, not in any narrow or limited
way, but in the continuous palsy aud
arrangement Of nutrition and nerve
force.
Practically, the continuous drinker
is more generally diseased an4 moro
difficult to restore than the excessive
aud periodic user of spirits. It would
seem to be q mere matter Of degree
between the moderate and the exces-
sive drinker, with the very uncertain
factor Of being unable to determine
the extent Of the degeneration in the
moderate drinker.
The experiences of many persons
confirm the statement that no mod
crate use of spirits is compatible with
health or mental soundness, and mod
crate drinkers may be called in many
cases veritable inebriates.-.Journal Of

Not many people know that the
average growth Of the finger nails is
one thirty-second Of an inch a week,
or little more than one and half
inches year, observed a,physician
recently. "The growth, however, de-
pends to great extent upon che rate
Of nutrition, and during sickness and
abstinence from good, nourishing food
it is retarded. Nails grow faster in
summer than.in winter. and the growth
differs from different fingers, being
usually most rapid in the middle fin
ger and |slowest in tho thumb. The
average time taken for each finger
nail to grow to its full length is about
four and half months, and at this
rate man of70 years of age would
have removed his nails 1s6 times.
Taking the length of each nail at half
an inch, he would have grown seven
feet nine inches Of nail on each finger,
aud on.all his fingers aud thumbs an
aggregate of>79 feet 6 inches

OF ministerial conference, in an

Habits OF Speech.

"Why do educated parents allow
their children 70 contract habits Of
ungrammatical speech that will have
to be conquered in after life?'' asked
spinster Of a mother.
Because they hate to worry the
poor little things about such matters
when. they are young and should be
care-free. 1t seems cruel to be all
the time correcting them and keeping
them on their good behavior. They
will have to learn the rules Of our
dreadful language all too soon as it

dition 30 learning to speak properly
they will have to unlearn the tricks
of speech in which they have been al
lowed to indulge all their little lives.
I know" laughing, that there is
much ridicule of 'old maids children
but believe that my theory in this
case is correct. 1t is a positive un-
kindness to let your child double his
negatives and say 'ain't, when several
years from now he will be sharply re-
proved for such lapses. The child
must learn to talk anyway. and is it
not as easy to teach him to say 1t is

he grows older he will himself see his

But insist that it is parents duty
to make the difficult path to grammat-
ical speech as easy as possible by
never allowing the little ones to stray
from it in the beginning. "-Harper's
