Gambling.

The writer once spent Saturday
afternoon in the study of a dignitary of
the church while the ecclesiastic strug-
gled in vain to frame an argument
against gambling to be presented to the
congregation on the morrow. He aban-
doned the attempt. Far be it from a
literary journal to assert powers the
possession of which the professionally
religious are fain TO disclaim, yet with
submission we even venture to believe
that at least one cogent and effective
argument lies against all forms of gam
bling-one, namely, based on the truth
that wealth, great or small, is a trust
and therefore may not be put in risk.
The moralist may declare that the
gambler gets. or at least wants to get,
something for nothing. Men will laugh.
They know better. The winner gave
his chance to lose for his winnings.
For his losses the winner got his
chance to win. But ask the speculator
whether he would gamble with trust
funds held by him for orphans and
then suggest to him the one great truth
that is seizing hold of mems conscience,
the most hopeful sign in these perplex.
ed days Of social unrest. that men are
trustees Of all that they call their own.

EATING FISH.

1t is not good form to ask for a Sec
ond helping of fish.
1t is considered extremely bad form
to use knife in dissecting fish.
A little modern fish knife. with an in
geniOus fork arrangement on one side,
is now made.
A bit of lemon is served with broiled
and baked fish, and it is in correct form
to use the fingers in expressing the
juice.
Potatoes are considered proper &C
cessory to the fish course.
Sliced cucumbers. with plain French
dressing. are also served.
With boiled fish the potatoes are
also usually boiled, cut into bits or
scooped out and garnished with a little
melted butter and chopped parsley.
Never use the fingers to separate the
bones from the eatable portion Of fish.
The bones must be evaded with such
dexterity as one can command without
other aid than such as bit of bread
held in the left hand may furnish.

Temperature and Humidity.

Enjoyable living is very largely de-
pendent upon temperature and hui
Nudity. Temperatures above SO and
below zero are each endurable only
as man makes a special effort to adj
lust himself to such conditions. The
happy mean of temperature is 20, at
which point man thinks nothing
about the atmosphere. A few islands
of the sea and Il limited section OF
great elevation Immediately under
the equator enjoy 20 the year round
but the best and most forceful types
of humanity are found where tn,
thermometrical extremes have tn,
widest range, the effort required 10y
man TO adapt himself to such radica
changes seeming in some way Il
develop his best qualities. The qaes
ton of humidity is also an important
one, for where there is great ex
cess the conditions for man are n.
unfavorable as where there may be
great deficiency, in either case tn,
extreme so affecting vegetable ant
animal life and growth that a Twin,
for man is hard TO obtain. The happ,
medium as to humidity is found in
three-toot rainfall during the year.

Corn and Its Future.

The somewhat startling fact is an.
nounced by men who have made a
study of the question that the produc-
ton of corn has reached its limit in
this country, while the demand for ii
is bound to constantly increase. 1t is
claimed that the days of cheap corn
corn at from IS to rs cents per bush
clare over, and that the greatly in
creased domestic and foreign demand
is likely to force the average value OF
this cereal to about 40 cents, as
against an average value of about 80
cents for the past decade; in other
words. that the corn crop is likely to
be worth IS per cent more for the
coming ten years than for the pas,
ten. This fact, if il prove to he well
stated, will be good news to the resi-
dents of the corn belt, for coupled
with it will be the certain advance
in value of@all meat commodities, o1
which corn is the foundation.

Mutton VS.. Pork.

There is no better meat food for
man than good mutton. If America
would substitute mutton for the pork
which is eaten by its people the doc
tors would half starve, men would
quit pounding their wives. bottle ba-
bies would be unknown, the divorce
courts would go out of business, the
term of life would be increased and
much of the cussedness of the coun-
try be prevented, 10 say nothing OF
trichina, and all that. Still we never
expect to see the day when the de-
licious odor of roast pork and apple
sass, boiled ham and fried sausage
will not be enough to overcome any
and all arguments why people should
eat mutton rather than pork.

Life Insurance.

1t Is an interesting fact that, what
ever the reason may be. life insurance
is much more popular in the United
States than in any other country. In
proportion to their numbers the Amer
lean people carry twice as much life
insurance as the Britishers, five times
as much as the Germans and eight
times as much as the French.
This is partly explained by the large
number of American policies issued to
serve other purposes than mere provi-
sion for the families of the insured.
The scope of what may be called bust
ness as distinguished from family in
surance is constantly charging. A nov
Ell and interesting recent development
Of it is the insurance Of the lives of
Protestant ministers for large sums
which are made payable at their deaths
to their churches.-New York World.

Hired Men Forty Years Ago.

The writer forty odd years ago
worked as hired hand on farm.
It was tumble out at o'clock in the
morning and the last of the chores
done at o'clock at night. Nearly
all the farm work was, for want OF
modern machinery and appliances,
done in the hardest way. The plows
were iron and would rarely scour;
the grass was cut with a scythe and
raked with one of those revolving
rakes, which were more calculated TO
make a man profane than any tool
ever invented by man. Most of the
grain was cut with a cradle, the corn
planted by hand and cultivated with
a one horse shovel pillow. The hired
man got $40 per month. Viewed from
this point there is no doubt that the
world has progressed.
