Secs Peril In Prosperity.

All readers Of Gibbons History Of
Rome will recall his remarks upon the
voluptuousness of the ancient oity--as
the reason Of its downfall later.
At Thanksgiving sermon in New
York delivered in the famous Trinity
church on Broadaway-Bishop Worth
ingtoD, of Omaha, Neb., had occasion
to emphasize the perils which Aow
from prosperity, which degenerates in.
to voluptuousness. Said the bishop:
"There is peril in our prosperity, even
in the blessings which we ask today as
a nation. There is sin in our luxuri-
BUSINESS and presumptuous extrava-
gance. 1t is the seed sowing Of ruin
for US. If God foresees good harvest
it would coU' anyway. We all know
that if the plow did not turn up the
sod We would not have the harvest.
But as surely ae the feet that il takes
the plow and other implements, go
surely is it necessary TO have the gen.
tie rain and the noon sunshine that
God gives us. We certainly notice
there is gradual deterioration 10 the
standard Of public morals. There does
not seem to be less purity and integ-
rity in individuals, but there seems to
be leas to me as nation. We seem
70 hs less careful OF tho personal puri.
ty Of those whom we place in authori-
ty. We are not careful that the hoade
OF branches Of our government are such
upright men ss they should BE-"
Perhaps the bishop has become pes
simistic, but we do find more or less
Indifference to high character in the
selection Of unsorupulous politicians
to represent the country. Wealth,
like charity, covers multitude of
Sins. In the eariy days Of the repab-
lic a'politician might get rich aftc,
promotion, but in these latter days he
must get rich to be promoted, and
grow richer to sustain his promotion.

The Classmate:-

"Doan you got no money t all?" he
queried.

Sticks In Mercantile Life.

Many young men choose a mer-
camille position for tho present only
without thought or intention Of
making it a permanent busineas.
The result is that oftentimes we
find these men at thirty years re-

There is an army Of this class of
young men behind counters today.
They are an aimless, pitiable class.
They stand listlessly in their de-

this fearful strain the muscles ara torn
away on every side. No blood is
shown, though under the skin may be
seen great blue spots where the blood
has escaped from the torn muscles.
After all of the contracted muscles

The Trees o. Paris.

Paris is said to lead the world in
the culture of city trees. The sue
cess of the French capital is due not
so much to an admirable soil and
climate as to well organized sys-
tenn Of caring for the trees. In
large nurseries young trees are
grown and prepared for the Parish
an streets. The culture of the soil
is elaborate. From the very begin
ming the trees are pruned and stak-
ed to compel straight growth. By
frequent transplanting the roots be-
come so hardened that they are en-
ahled &c withstand injury due to
transportation. When a tree is suf-
fic;ently large, it Is set out in the
streets with the same care that was
lavished upon it in the nursery.
Often the cost of planting a single
tree is $50. Whenever q storm de-
stroys the city trees the nursery can

Juvenile Reasoning.

A learned professor was recently
trying to explain to some children
how morning stars became evening
stars, and, descending, as he sup
posed, to their level, he put the fol-
lowing question: Suppose little
dog and horse and wagon were
going along the read, and the little
dog was in front of the horse and
wagon and stayed there. Which
would get home frst?'' Il small
boys voice responded, '"The horse
and wagon would get there first" :"
"Why, how is thatp he was asked.
Because" was the disconcerting
reply, ~if the little dog was in front
Of the horse and waron and stayed
there the wagon would run over
him and kill him, and he wouldn't
get home at all" And the pro-
fessor admitted the justice Of the
reasoning.

Notwithstanding the fact that
lentiis are recognized by students
of food economies as among the
most nourishing of vegetables, they
are very little used in America. In
Germany, however, their value is
fully appreciated, and seldom o
week passes where 'linsen," as they
are there called, do not come to the
table at least once, if not oftener.
In their dried state they resemble

being thick ID the middle and ia

very hard and to be properly pre-
pared must be soaked overnight in
water before cooking. The form in
which they are most frequently cot
en- is as soup, which has to be cooked
for q long time until the lentils be-
come thoroughly soft, a few bay
leaves, some celery, red Pepper or
other Aavoring materials being add
ed.
Another way to eat them is in
the form of mush. In this case

THE EATING OF TURKEYS.
Some OF the Ways In Which Epleures
Have Priced Them

Some Of the Ways In Which EpTeures
Have Priced Them.
The first turkey eaten in France
is said to have been served at the
wedding banquet of Charles TX.
says the American Kitchen Aiaga-
zine. The Mexican bird was taken
to Europe and then brought again
to America as domestic bird. The
journals of many Of the explorers.
like Captain John Smith, record the
excellent qualities of tho wild tur-
key. They were plentiful from Can
ada south even to the seacoast. One
traveller writes of the "great store
of tho wild kind Of turkeys, which
remain about the house as tame "a
ours In England"
The famous French authority
BrilIat Savarin, who visited this
country moro than 100 years ago.
Left an account of his experience in
hunting wild turkeys. On his re-
turn from this expedition somo fa-
nous man was telling him stories
of Washington. Tho Frcnchman's
attention wandered, but he, bv q
marked effort. recovered himself
and said, II beg a thousand par
dons, but I was thinking how to
dress my wild turkey" Another
story OF Savarin was told by Tallcy-
rand. Passing through Sens on the
way to Lyons, he sent for the cook,
according to his custom, and asked
what he could have for dinner. The
report was discouraging, for, al.
though four turkeys wore roasting
in the kitchen, they were all for ono
| guest. 'I should like to meet the
man who orders four turkeys TO,
his own eating" said Sayarin, and
he went to pay his respects to the
stranger, who tu4 ncd out to be hi:
