New Years Resolutions.

New Years resolutions are, as a gen
eral thing, about as mild and harmless
as Il glass Of soda water. 1t is seldom
that they have any effect ON the MAX
er that an outsider can notice save
that they cause him to strut around
for Il day or two and feel superior to
other men.
About the end of the third day he
accidentally lets them fall on the floor,
and, as they are the most brittle thing
known to science, the result is they
are smashed into a thousand pieces.
However, those who want to make
them should net be discouraged. The
human race must amuse itself some
how, and this is about as cheap and as
harmless a way rs has yet been in
vented.

POSITION IN SLEEP.
The Connection Between Health and
the Way OF the bed.

The Connection Between Health and
the Way OF the Bed.
A French scientist claims to have es-
tablished Il distinct connection between
u health and the position which Il
beds occupy with regard to the points
of the compass. He relies upon the
fact that the sap of trees is gradually
driven toward the east by centrifugal
force, so that they develop more on that
side. This induces him to argue that
when we remain in bed for several
hours with our heads toward the east
this will tend TO drive the liquids of Il
body from west to east, and our blood
has a tendency to flow toward the
brain, so that we sleep uneasily and
find ourselves less fresh when we
awake than if our feet had pointed
eastward.
If our bed stand north and south it is
better to lie with the head northward,
as the centrifugal force acts from north
to south in our hemisphere.

good: so that We harte be rite, it mat

Macaroni, which is derived from the
italian word maccare, to crush, is pre-
pared from the meal of Il hard variety
of wheat which is cultivated IN the

facture of macaroni, vermicelll Il

The next snow storm in southern

flowers upon its placid bosom. The 9th
err stream starts in the mountains near
the clouds. Down through crevasse and
gully it pours its turbulent waters,
rushing, roaring, signing and sobbing,
ever restless, ever broken, knowing no
tranquility or repose. Why the trou-
bled course of this stream? It's waters
are as sweet, as thirst quenching as the
other God placed the rocks, the crags,

When you see a man sinking beneath

with the. accepted ideas of right and
ighteousness-you cannot rightly Judge
unless you know the crags or quick
sands of heredity and environment con-
trolling the destiny of such a life. You
cannot judge and know the force of a
temptation you never had to face, OF
the weight of a load you were never
called upon to bear, nor the length and
roughness of a road your feet have new

and fury of passions you have never
felt and the cravings Of appetites you
have never possessed passions and APP

is not ours to pass harsh Judgment upon

From Saturdays Daily.
The Faribault Journal says that C..
j. Shanahan, who for several years has
conducted machinery and carriage
house at his building on First avenue,
has sold his stock of machinery and
rented the building to Messrs. HI. C.
Heine and M. p. Shanahan, and the lat
ter gentlemen have formed a partner
ship to conduct an up-to-date machinery
and carriage house at the old stand
The members of the new firm are both
well qualified to make success of the
business. Mr.. Heine needs no introduce
ton to the trade, having been connected
with the house for the past seventeen
years, and as an expert or machinist he
has no superior and few equals.
NJ. p. Shannahan has for several years
travelled for some of the largest buggy
manufacturers in the United States and
is in position to select good goods at
right prices.
c. J. Shanahan expects in a short
time to open an office in Faribault for
the handling of collections and real es-
tate.

in humanity, is lacking in true manhood
or womanhood, and is disqualified from
understanding the condition of the poor
and needy.
Queen Louisa OF Prussia, fugitive
before the conquering armies of Napol-
con, passed the night in the lowly hut
of peasant, and was kept from starv-
ing by the homely fare provided her by
the generous hostess. Before leaving,
in bitterness of soul, she wrote upon the
window, with magnificent diamond,
the following beautiful lines of Goethe:
"Who never ate his bread with tears
Who never in the sorrowing hours,
Of night lay sunk in gloomy fears
He knows we not, o heavenly powers"
In this land of plenty, many boy
many girl, is denied opportunity to
gain an education through poverty. In
this land of wealth, many man is
financially stranded because the pit
lance he can earn, does not meet the
daily needs of himself and family. To-
night, many an innocent little child,
clothed in rags, will go to bed, hunger
ing for the food it's distracted, weary,
heart sick mother cannot give it.; and
only in fevered dreams see the food and
clothing that it needs. Half fed, half
clothed, sneered and scoffed at by the
ill-bred children of the more unfortun-
ate, many a child is having sadness,
sorrow and despair thrust upon its life,
crushing out all the bloom and beauty
of innocent childhood.
In this land of churches and fraterni-
ties, many a man is growing fraint and
sick, discouraged to the point of sur
render, for the want even of word of
cheer and comfort And what L say of
men is tenfold true of women. Brother,
friend, go home tonight, and in your
fancy set up two tablets. On the one,
write from memory's scroll, the things
you have said and done to better the
condition of your fellow men, and to
cheer them on the way. On the other
write the list of opportunities along
this line you have neglected. Write all
you might have done and said to make
the world brighter and your fellow men
happier. Write and show it to your
God and i'll humility resolve to do more
for the good of mankind in the future.

shall not deal in theology or dogma;
but I doubt if such an one will ever
wear crown of many jewels in the
great hereafter. / am glad the religious
world is taking a different view of these
matters. A generation or so ago, the
earnest inquiry of the average christian
man was, "How shall / save this soul
of mine in the world to Gomez" He
seemed to want to wrap his soul in a
cloak of piety- like cake of yeast In
tight tin foiD, and lay it away to keep
till Gabriel's trumpet should sound. Men
thought it great virtue to keep from
contamination by wholly refusing to
associate with the worldly and ungodly.
Today the average christian and moral
man desires to know what can be done
for their suffering brothers in this
world. 1t is just as necessary as ever
to save ones own soul. But the true
child of God ought to know his soul is
safe, and reach out to help others. Our
lives are much alike. Usually the same
influence operates alike upon all, and

element of society which considers it

common people. Do you forbid your
children to play with the children of
your neighbors until you have learned
their social standing? Do you insist

consider rather superior to some other
set? God pity your children, and God
rebuke those who brought them into the
world, if they cannot stand association
with the sons and daughters of the har
dy tOilers of the land. 1t is the main
tenance of these artificial social barri-
ers, erected by the wouldbe aristocrat-
| ic, and, sad to say, recognized by the
poor and the toiling ones, that retards
every effort to better the condition of
| men.
The brotherhood of man will never
be established-the religious or moral
redemption of the race will never be
accomplished while these barriers exist.
