Tbeir wedding Trip.

A summer visitor in a New England
mill town made friends with one or two
of the French Canadians who were EN-.
ployed as operatives in the mills.
One of these was al elderly widower
whose two youngest children the visitor

Luxury and ExtrnynEancc.

In general the destruction of wealth
Is q social as well as an individual loss.
The wealth that is used up in riotous
living is diverted from better uses. Elk.
travagance is not necessarily luxury
The mere transfer of wealth from one
hand to another does not involve de-
struction. Consumption means using
up. When a nation spends $3.50, 600 for
a great picture, the wealth is not de.
stroyed it is simply transferred. When
the jubilee plunger ran through 81, 500,
900 in ~ calendar months, the wealth
OF the world was diminished only by
the amount of it he and hose who
sponged on him put down their throats
and Otherwise wantonly destroyed. In
80 for as 1t was simply transferred to
Others to "nOm he paid extravagant
P.ices, it was not destroyed.
To give high prices for articles which
are rare is not necessarily luxury, for
the pIice and the rare edition or the old
master both remain. 1t is true that ex.
travagance may mean the transfer Of
wealth to those who will not use i.
well, but it does not usually mean this.
1t generally involves a transfer to the
hands of those who will use 1t more
wisely. journal of Ethics.

One Saturday afternoon two friends Of
the noble game of chess sat playing
together in II cafe. Suddenly one of
them started up in a passion and ex-
claimed, "Ynu have pocketed one of my
pawns."
A glance at the board and men sui
feed to show that a pawn WAS really
missing. The excitement over the lost
pawn became so intense that 4 lively al
tercation eusued, in which every body
in the room took part.
Quiet was at last restored, and the
player who had lost his pawn resumed
his seat and began to drink his coffee,
which was covered with thick cream,
when he all at once got something into
his throat which nearly choked him.
He succeeded, however, in eXtricating
| the intrusive article, which turned out
to be the missing pawn.
The chess player, intent on the game,
had thrown it into his cup in place of a
lump of gar. -Peurson's Weekly.

THE DECAY OF THE HOME.

New York is waking up to the fact
that in the fashionable whirl Of the
great city the home-the old-fashioned,
honest home, with its cement of love
is passing away, or has already passed.
The modern rich and fashionable wo-
man has no time to devote to home.
Her children are brought up by nurses;
her daylight hours are exhausted in the
round OF receptions and calls, and the
opera. theater and private parties alb
sofb her nights. The old original
home life is lost; an artificial life is
substituted, and the artificial life hav-
ing NO honest restraints and no higher
purpose than display, many women are
lost. Whether 1t is a hereditary reac-
ton against the physical burdens that
were placed upon the wives Of the men
who cleared the forests between the
ocean and the prairies, or whether it
is the beginning OF national decay and
dfsintegration, cannot yet be told; but
1t Is a serious matter all the Same
Monarchies can endure after the hearts
of the people lose their natural affec-
lions and become altogether selfish,
but republics cannot. The age Of gold
is upon us, and crimes are Increasing
with fearful rapidity, but nothing goes
directly or indirectly to the life Of a

The bit Of arcasm in this paper in
relation to the fees in the sherif's office
was entirely misunderstood. Already
ground down to the lowest notch, it is
sought in the bill before the legislature
to still further reduce the fees. A case
came up the other day which shows
the princely income Of the sheriff
through fees. A process had to be serv-
ed eighteen miles In the country. For
the thirty-six-mile drive IS was charg-
ed by the liveryman for a team and the
other necessary expenses Of the trip
were IS cents. making a total Of $5.75.
In return the sheriff got in mileage
$3.50 and 81 for serving the paper; to-
tai, $3.50, or a net loss to the officer OF
31.15. II the bill now before the legis-
lature had been a law his loss would
have been $1.65. There is one consola-
ton to the sheriff in this bill and that
is the fact that the fee for drawing an
instrument, required to be done by an
attorney, has not been changed.

Victor Smith, appointed collector of
customs at Port Townshend, Wash, by
Secretary Chase, succeeded in inducing
the government to move the custom
house from that point to Port Angeles,
where he maintained himself for time
in a semibarbaric prOprietorship. He
once invited the officers of the revenue
cutter Shubrick to dine at his house,
and the officers arrayed themselves in
full dress and went ashore in state to
wait upon Collector Smith at his man
sion, which was then in an unfinished
condition.
In due course of time the collector,
assisted by his wife, brought out two
carpenters saw horses, on which was
placed a board covered with wrapping
paper. The repast was then set forth.
Smith, taking from his pockets three
big apples, gave one to each of the three
officers, with a small forked stick, re-
marking, you'll have to roast your
own apples. "-Argonaut.

of the growth of American shipping
between the Pacific coast and Hawaii.
There are now loading for or on the

This expansion Of the shipping of the
United States may be expected in the
commerce of the far East and the West

feCts.
But the very events which have serv-
ed rs al eclipse greatly enhanced the
significance of Hawaiian developments.
None of the evils predicted as sure to
follow the acquisition OF the small
group of islands in the mid-Paciic have
been experienced, while the benefits
have already justified the claims made,
If Mr.. Cleveland had allowed the
original Hawaiian treaty to take its
urse we should have had by this time
nearly six years of experience, instead
| of about one year. The new system OF
government in Hawaii has not yet
been put in operation. Congress has
before it a bill for that purpose, and Its
passage before March A is probable
