THE COUNTRY PAPER.

The homing instinct in the blood is
felt by hard-headed, shrewd and prac-
tical men, engaged in business in great
towns, and apparently free from in
convenient sentiment. Yet: though
they con their newspapers with keen
and eager relish, they throw them
aside when read, while some little sheet,
not particularly we'll printed, and put
together as if jumbled in scrap
basket, is slipped into the pocket and
carried home.
This is the country paper, published
up-country, and filed with intimate
personal details, the pleasant and kind
ly neighborhood gossip which goes on
at the postofIice and around the station
when the train comes in. Here are
familiar names; the story Of life in a
farming community, related with mi,
mute care; the goings and comings OF
kindred and aequaintances; the sales.
the purchases, the casualties, the
changes, all chronicled without much
art or skill, but with closest and most
satisfactory realism.
The man may be a millionaire sew.

on the farm, and he will be subscriber

MERE SPARKS.

One who stubbornly refuses to lis
ten to advice is not apt to learn any
thing from observation.
The shortcomings of men are to be
attributed to negligence rather than
to inability or lack of opportunity to
perform their duties.
A man wise in his own conceit inva-
riably exposes his lack of common
sense, and subjects himself to the ridi-
cule and contempt of the truly wise.
"Be not overcome of evil, but over
come evil with good" is one of st.
Paul's measures of christian vengeance
too often overlooked by the followers
of Christ
We have seen few men in life who
were never guilty of exposing their
ignorance, but they sometimes assert
ed knowlege of facts at the expense q
truth.
The "socery of love" will bring
vicious enemy to his knees with hum
bic confessions, even after wisdom and
cunning have utterly failed with all
their schemes to force peace.
If all good citizens fully recognized
the fact that "there is no power but of
God;" and would cooperate with "the
powers that be" to secure good gov
ernment, they would not manifest so
such alarm at the prospect of a change
of rulers.

furnish necessities, and superfluities he
must do without until his home is Sc
cured. 1t would only take a few
years of frugality to obtain the thous-
and dollars which is said to he the
hardest to obtain of mans fortune.
These good old veterans told many
anecdotes to illustrate their views
Among them they spoke Of man, and
not a very old one either, who was
brought up on farm-a poor boy
no, not poor, for he had good sense
and was willing to work. Nobody is
poor thus endowed. At sixteen he
commenced to work for wages and to
save. He is now the owner of fine
farm and has money besides. He
gave to his church, helps the needy,
and is respected in his neighborhood.
He is bright, cheerful fellow, because
he is we'll fed, and has no dread OF
note coming due next week with moth
ing to meet it. 1t goes without say
ing that his wife Is capable, helpful
woman.
Opportunities to rise among farmers
are just as plenty as ever, it the yonng
men would use them. He who deserves
success mostly finds it. "By their
fruits ye shall find them"
They said many things l can not re-
call; but the tenor of their talk was.
that the farmers of to-day are not at
tentive enough to their calling. Some
times they leave the old homestead al
together in the hope to find an easier
way to grow rich than the farm affords,
forgetting that only very few OF the
worlds people accumulate property,
and that there are far more in the
cities hard beset to live and keep up
the appearances that are deemed 80
all important than there are in the
country.
1t is good sometimes to listen and
ponder over the words of those who
have gone through life and learned the
ups and downs of tickle fortune. The
young do not take kindly to advice
from their seniors, and stand in their
own light by not doing so. Long
years Of intelligent observation store
up knowledge that could be of great
value to beginners if they would heed
instruction from such sources. "Bought
wit is best," it is said. We ought to
have very fine quality of wit in this
age, for the people are paying high
prices for the little they get.-Nary

WHAT'S IN A NAME2
(BeIsoEs Plaster is Pains Mast6r.)

In the days of wild cat' money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary cent in twenty years.
The very name of Oliver Ames & Son, was
q synonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is good plaster does
not describe it it is the best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as matter OF course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have n good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lrmhago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back.
ETC., are at once benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
pIasters have none of the curative virtues
OF Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as a remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in a
comparative test with other plasters, Ben
sons has received fifty. .fre highest a,cards.

Ii Hung Chang.
Stories Told Of the Great Chinese
Statesman.

General Grant declared. after his
famous voyage around the world, that
he had met four great mrn-Beacons-
field. Bismarck, Gambetta and Ii
Hung Chang. On his part Ii rech, n d
that he had known only TWO entirely
great men-Gorlon and Grant. Statu-
cites of them, and of them alone, adorn
his audience room in his official resi-
dence at Tientsin. To all visitors he
was courteous and Lospitahle, but he
never failed to ask them characteristic
Chinese questions, and pertinaciously
to insist upon answers to them.
GLOW old are your he asked, and it
was idle to attempt evasion. And
then. care you happily married?' and
How old is your wifc?' Or if you
are not married, "Why no,?'
Mr.. Henry Norman, who called upon
him a couple of years ago. writes as
follows of the interview:
The Viceroy was dressed simply
not to say sha abbiiy, in the ordinary
Chinese stiff round hat, a tGickly pad
ded upper garment Of some kind OF
yellow silk, and an undergarment OF
gray silk. His hands were tucked
into his wide sleeves, and only came
out twice during our conversation
once when lie wished to blow his nose
which he did in the familiar but indie.
scribable manner Of the tramp in the
street, and once when he was startled
by little piece of news. Yet he
smoked pipe five feet long. An at
tendant stood with pipe, smoking ma.
terials and fire at the back of the re-
ception room, and every five minutes
he walked solemnly forward, filled the
pipe, blew the fire stick into flame
the Viceroy opened one corner of his
mouth, the attendant inserted the stem
and applied tn: light to the bowl, tho
great man alb solbed the smoke and
opened his month again, when the pipe

HOW HE BECAME RICH.
Lii Hung Chang was called the rich
est man in the world. This assertion
is easier made than proved, for nobody
knows how rich he was. His fortune
may certainly be counted by millions
of dollars, but how many millions is
purely conjectural. 1t is enough to
say that he was very wealthy and had
accumulated nearly the whole OF his
fortune by taking advantage of his op-
portunities and making opportunities
during his long service as Niceroy OF
Marking and Pcchili.
One way in which Ii for many years
made an enormous sum of money was
to use thousands Of soldiers in his own
private enterprises without paying
them a cent for thur labor. In the
course of i'm he pm >iia>,l Intensive
estates in the ricr-gruwing regions and
raised more bushels of rice every year
than the bonanza farmers of North
Dakota used TO raise of wheat. He
got his labor for nothing, and his great
crop of rice WAS almost clear profit.
He simply turned his soldiers loose in
the rice fields and they had to be con-
tent with the rations and miserable
pittance paid to them by the Govern
ment.
The great man also became his own
contractor for army supplies. He
would sell his own rice TO the Govern
ment for army rations at an enormous
profit and pocketed handsome rake
off on all other supplies furnished to
the tens of thousands of soldiers in the
Pechii Province Then he was chief
supreme of the custom houses for a
long distance around the Gulf of
Peehili, and there was nothing mean
about the stream of gold that poured
into his strong box through this chan
mel. 1t has long been notorious that
one of the methods he employed was
to import large quantities of goods
through his agents without the pay
ment of 4 cert OF duty and then sell
the goods at round figure TO his
countrymen.
One of the greatest sources OF
money getting employed by Ii Hung
Chang during the later years of his
career as Niceroy was as a money.
lender. There is little doubt that lie
was the king Of pawnbrokers the world
over. His loan offices were scattered
far and wide over his province, and lie
loaned great sums of money on mort
cages and on pledges Of personal prop
erty. In Il country where no lega
rate of interest is fixed this business
has brought enormous returns to Ii
Hung Chang.
