minded or careless. which are almost
convertible terms, for he has left his
links in his sleeves. The week before
last we had 10 return him some studs,
and not long before that collar stud.
He is a comfortably situated man. for
his average of white shirts IS never UNI
der seven a week, and I have always
noticed that when n man has TO prac-
tice a rigid economy he always COM
mences to diminish his washing list.
Economy in the Wash.
Here is an economical man. His aver
age is never above three white shirts a
week, and you viii observe that he has
carefully shaved the frayed edges Of
the fronts and cuffs. Another man 1
know Is downright hard mp or fright
fully meant is not easy to determine
which without further investigation
for he sends only one white shirt or
none. but half a dozen pairs Of false
cuffs to be worn with a flannel shirt,
which is OF cheap quality.
/ can swear that one of my customers
is extravagant and luxurious, for he
sends in fourteen or more shirts a week,
seven of them OF excellent quality for
evening wear. He dresses every night
for dinner or some entertainment No
he is not lecturer or public performer
who is obliged to put on evening dress
every night as a matter OF course. for
people of that class usually know the
value of pennies, and, as a general
thing make the dress-shirt OF the night
before serve them for the following
morning.
Laundry Marks Of a Sloven.
No need to say that other customer Is
a sloven. and is not remarkable for nice
manners at table; for look at the coffee
and claret stains on one dress shirt
front after another! And this one also
is slovenly, but is in q different way OF
life; for IL Is ink. you Will observe. with
which his cuffs are stained. Here you
have an example OF one who sponges
upon his friends-the type who always
pays visits with an Insufficient stock OF
underwear, and borrows what he needs
and forgets 10 return It, That is indi
Gated by the fact that the three bes
out OF five shirts are marked with othel

gospel messenger among men. As bad
books are the worst enemies of man
kind, l want to enlist your help In fight
ing them at every step. If ever the
devil had an agent on earth, l have been
one," spake the dying author of per-

evil books wherever you go. l want you
to see that your library shelves are
cleared of tho "lepers l want you to
see that your children never are allowed

I want you, by the help of God, to scat

Spirit" which shall never fail.
May God teach us one and all to pill
low our heads upon the promises and
live as Christ would have lis live, be-
cause we love the "old book"
IF thou art merry. here are airs;
II melancholy, here are prayers,
II studious, here are those things writ
Which may deserve thy ablest wit;
II hungry, here is food divine
II thirsty, nectaur, heavenly wine.

To read with zeal and mark with care;
And when thou readest what here is writ,
Let thy best practice second It,
SO twice each precept shall be-
First in the book and next in thee.

Literary Commands.

Now. as some Commands abuse their
stomachs with too much eating, 80 some
gormands for mental food abuse their
brains with too much reading. They
stuff their minds with whole piles of in
digestible literary food They read and
they read and they read They keep on
reading and never think or care about
what they are reading. They read until
at last their brains absolutely refuse to
do any independent thinking. Their
brains become like a great sponge filled
with water, sodden and heavy and mac
tive, of no earthly use to anybody or
anything What you ought to do Is not
to see how many books you can skim
through, but how many books you can
master.
Look out" says the old adage "for
the man who is master of one book"
Look out, say I. for the master of a
few great books. Too much reading
truly becomes WEAKNESS TO the flesh.
Mr.. Sturgeon in one of his sermons
quotes the invective of which Lucian in
Disraelis "Curiosities of Literature"
makes against those men whose pride
is in a large library which they never
properly read and therefore cannot profit
by. Such a man is like pilot who

How many folk who work every
day In the year who use the phrase
"pounds sterling" are aware of its
origin? Probably not one In II
thousand Yet the adjective "sterl-
Ing" which apart from Is CONNER
cial sense, has come to indicate worth
and genuineness, has curious his
toric significance, and IL n distinct
survival of the times when England
did not weigh so heavily In the bal
ance of power as she does now. In
the fourteenth century the trade OF
the known world was, almost without
exception, In the hands of the Han
seattle League. within this league
there were many towns. most of
which coined money, some using
better metal than others. Lubec, n
Baltic city, made the best money, and
the English merchants, who even
then knew a good thing when they
saw IL, used to contract for payment
in the "mopesy of Easterlings"-
Easterlings being their name for the
Baltic merchants. Shortened for
convenience, the word still obtains,
and has all its original force. - Ex.

is such thing as vested property,
property disputes will occur. Far
mers fight over their fences, cattle
men and sheep men war over the
range. irrigation interests contest
for the priority of water rights, and
in every branch of commerce the
lawyers find their specially. Nor
do all mining quarrels arise out of
the apex question. At the same
time. mining men have learned from
long experience that the apex ques-
tion is one to look out for, and In
recent years the number of contested
cases growing out of IL has bee"
relatively small. One such suit Is
being threatened at the present time
between two prominent Cripple
Creek companies, and from Tonopah
has just come word that the first
serious dispute of this character has
been only recently suggested. 1t is
to be hoped that in these cases the
matters will be peaceably adjusted.
There is one bit of satisfaction
which the mining industry may en-.
JOY in the presence of litigation,
namely, that men do not fight over
property that Is not worth having.
The public might have serious reason
to doubt the Importance of Cripple
Creek or Tonopah II the apex
question were not sooner or latter
heard from. - Daily Mining Record.
