Patience is a flower that does not
grow in every garden.
1t is easier to keep friend than to
recover him when lost.
Your character cannot be essentially
injured but by your own acts.
The beautiful is needed in our COM
munity life. We all have characters to
build. strengthen and maintain. We
need the beautiful. Dress and live as
SavageS and we would soon become
savages in action. The city or village
totally void of beauty would be the
abode of the sensual, immoral and
lawleSS. A community Of taste and
beauty must necessarily be composed
Of refined and cultured people, and
true culture leads to higher morality.
There are about our city many
things that commend it. There are
things that are capable of improve
ment. Public sentiment will do much
toward beautifying our dwellings, our
streets and alleys. NeatneSs, taste
and beauty will help us all. Our moral
life would be higher and our social life
purer.
After all that has been said about
rare treasures of art and nature that
may lend attraction to a home and it's
surroundings, it remains that the
faireSt home ornaments are bright
joyous faces, and where these are
wanting all else goes for little. Bright
and joyous faces always accompany
warm and loving hearts which all true
hOmemakerS must possess. Hence all
who intend making homes should look
carefully into their own hearts: for
only when these are right can they
expect their homemaking to prove
satisfactory. Warm hearts make
bright and cheerful hearts, but the
warmeSt heart cannot thaw the icy
heart. Love is the great hOmemaker,
that makes even the drudgery of
housekeeping a pleasure, and home
life a fOretaSte of the bliss of heaven.
One cannot get too much love into
ones homemaking, but easily too
little.

THERE Are oTHERs.

Not all the "Junglesf' are in the
United States It seems. Since Upton
Sinclair's book started the world to
thinking and investigating facts are
coming to light which make it appar-
ent that it was written none too soon.
The system of inspecting food pro-
ducts has had a beneficial effect as
shown in the report of Carl Bailey
Hurst, American consul at PIauen. But
even after years of government in
spection enough is shown in the re-
suits of investigations to make it plain
that the German people haveno ground
for criticising the United States if they
judge by their own experience. Each
year the market in saxony, the con-
sui says. is becoming gradually purged
of deleterious food products, but the
use of borax and other harmful things
IN preserving meats is still carried on
to a considerable extent. Sausages are
adulterated with meal or bread. Many
samples of milk were found diluted,
and cheese is made with potato flour
or grated potatoes AS high as 81 per
cent of water was found in butter, and
imitation butter is sold as the genuine
article. Oils were adulterated as well
as sugar. Fruit jams were found to
contain glucose. grape skins. and dyes.
and one ingenious manufacturer made
4'pure plum JAM of beets. Salieylic
acid was found in various beverages
and other means of adulteration, more
recently disclosed in the United States.
appear to have been common in Ger
many. It is to the credit of the Ger

are being taken to eradicate the evil
the same as in the case of the United
States.
The chief sanitary inspector of
Barking. England. at a convention of

following statement:

on in slaughterhouses in England and
how their meat is treated they would
welcome the Chicago product with
open arms. It Is cleaner and better
than the general run of ported and

Great Britain. I have made careful
inspection Of the slaughterhouses in
England. and have seen things that
compare unfavorably even with the
conditions alleged to exist in the great

POWER OF THE LABOR UNION.

The erection of concrete buildings
by the use of cement. which has re-
Gently become SO popular owing to its
cheapness and the fact that no skilled
labor is required is about to receive a
set back.
The union bricklayers in New York
served notice on builders and architects
that hereafter when cement is used.
only brickIayers, or persons paid as
such, shall be allowed to push the
wheelbarrows and empty the cement
into the mold. This is work that any
child can do, if he has the strength. It
requires no skill. The mold of the
building is made OF boards by carpen-
ters, and all that remains to be done is
to pour the cement into the space be-
tween the outer and inner frame.
There it hardens into what is virtually
a solid piece of stone
AT present this work is done by ItaI-
/ ian laborers. But In proportion as con-
crete building Increases, building with
bricks tends to decrease, and there
have been fears on the part of some
of the brickmakers and brickiayers
that one of these days our cities VIII
be constructed entirely of concrete.
The possibility of such thing ends
when mechanics wages have to be
paid to laborers for the unions have
carried their point that the man who
pushes a wheelbarrew up a gangway
and empties It's contents into a hole is
to have 10 cents an hour. The cost of
concrete buildings will be greatly in
creased. and this sort Of architecture
may be discouraged off the earth.
There has been much hostility to the
Fuse Of concrete by the unions because
of its cheapness and simplicity, and
because there seemed to be no good
reason for putting skilled men on
work that called for no experience and
only 4 modicum Of Intellect. But the
resolution to give that work to the
bricl1layers regardless of what the
builders and contractors may have
thought about it, revolutionizes the in
dustry, and concrete may lose favor.
This viii be lamentable. for while
houses made Of this material are not
attractive in appearance. the substitu-

The candidacy of Mr.. Hearst for the

the Democratic New York World as
nothing has ever done before In an
editorial which begins and ends with

times when it was thought to have
been killed but It always bobbed up
again and frequently has appeared
strongest when there was reason to be-
1eve that it was in it's last agony. The
Republican party has failed to kill it,
Populism and fusion were powerless to
overcome it, even Cleveland could not
lay it IN its grave. Why then should

KANSAS CORN.

I've just got back from Kansas
To my home IN Illinois;
And the sights 1 saw in Kansas
Have Allied my sou1 with joy.
For the fields with corn are crowded
And the sun is shining bright,
And the harvester stands waiting
And the harvest is Ia sight.
I've just got back from Kansas
And here's what was told:
That Kansas crops for nineteen six
VIII sell for much more gold
Than this whole country will produce
Along its present lines
OF gold and silver both combined,
From its entire mines.
I've just got back from Kansas
And I love that noble state,
It's people are on Easy street,
It's simply great
It's farms are rolling park-ways,
And the flowers that adorn
It's meadows and its htllsides
Are corn, corn corn
I've just got back from Kansas
And the funny man can poke
His pieces in the paper
And laugh and sc0n and joke
About the Kansas farmer and the
Whiskers that he grows;
And the way those whiskers flutter
When the Kansas zephyr blows.
But I'd rather live in Kansas
Among her bursting cribs
Than to live here in Chicago
A-writing funny squibs.
So If any Kansas farmer thinks
His Whiskers don't adorn
His face, why then I'll wear them
If he'll divvy up his corn.

The spider is not usually credited with
amiability of temper, and so the proofs
brought forward by NJ A. LecaiIlon in
La Nature of its maternal directions are
the more interesting. The species con-
cerned IS one which makes its nest and
web in the ears of oats. The nest Of
one was broken open, the mother ta-
ken out. and another female spider put
in. The latter on entering looked
around and at once began to close the
entrance. When the mother spider IS
brought back the usurper tries to de-
fend herself, and they exchange blows
through the opening. Then the mother
goes round the nest to find another en-
trance, and the usurper tried to escape.
She is forced. however, by the other to
retire again into the nest. Making a
third attempt while the mother is alb
sent again, the usurper escapes, though
holly persued. Assuring herself that her
enemy has really gone the mother en-
ters her nest, and after a while begins
to close the opening. The usurper is
then placed on the nest three times, but
always retreats in haste. A spider, it
thus appears, viii readily adopt anoth-
er nest, but will not defend it as she
would her own. If. however, the usur-
per has had possession Of the nest for q
hours, she will not leave 1t voluntarily,
and will defend it vigorously against
its true owner. A spider kept from her
own nest for eight days does not try
to recover it nor show any interest in
it.-London Globe.
