Slaves Of Gold.

Who are the leaders in our best So
ciety, generally speaking? Why, a
man may carry a whole library in
his head, and'if his coat be seedy and
his pockel empty he is nowhere; while
a brainless fop whose attire is fault
less, and who carries a full purse, is
a first-rate, smart fellow. What
chance has a young lady a little out
of st lie, who has to arm her OWL liv
ing, to shine in society by the side of
one Of our fashionable ladies whose
papa is u millionaire? Socially we
are the slaves of gold. OlG-faShioned
people look at it in the Old fashioned
way, and say it is all wrong. And
SO it is; but it is a fact that stareS us
in the face that those who are worth
the most are considered as of the most
worth. After all, perhaps the wisest
man was right when he said The
love of money is the root Of all evil"
We know from sad experience that it
is very ~incOnvenient to be poor, but no
man Is poor who has a happy home
and 1t does not require lace curtains
or velvet carpets to make a home hap

Fear Jack London Is Lost in Pacific.

The editors of Woman's Home Com
panion, fer whom Jack London is
sailing around the world Ia his little
boat Shark state that he is now more
than a month overdue at Tahiti OF
the Society Islands. for which place
he sailed from HilO, Hawaii. on OctO-
Der 9th.
The gas engine with which the
Shark is equipped was not work inv
well when Mr.. London left Hawaii,
and it is supposed by his publishers
that he has experienced some more
trouble with it. or that he has en-
countered the doldrums, and that his
boat IS rolling ABBOTT, becalmed, some
where in the Pacific.
London sailed from San Francisco
on 4th and reached Hawaii about a
month later. Hell accompanied on
his voyage around the world by his
wife, a captain, an engineer, one
sailor, and two japanese servants.
The brilliant sailor writer expects to
spend seven years on his voyage
around the world, stopping at all
sorts of interesting and out-of-the-
way places along the route.

BABrs CHANCES ARE BETTER.
Remarkable Decrease In the Death Rate
Of Babies During the Last Century.

"A century ago the anxious parent
OF the newborn babe had good reaSon
to be uneasy says DR.. Woods Hutch
inson, in writing on THE Irrepre ST.
BILE Tendency of Babies to Grow Up"
in the February Woman s Home Com
panion. THAT ~as still the age Of
dirt and a huge infant mortality.
LESS than half the children born
lived t., be five years old-in London,
In 1850, q 5 per cent died-and more
than n third persisted In the first
year. Now SUCH a condition is rapid
ly disappearing, and remains only in
u slum and most ignorant peasant
communities.
To-day the average mortality in
the first five years OF child life In the
entire United States is less than
twenty per cent The mortality for
the first year, about ten per cent, and
eliminating the slums and foreign
population, the rate is nearly three
per cent lower yet. So that your
baby, gentle reader, has ten chances
to n Of reaching his first birthday,
five to N Of reaching his fifth, and
three to one Of attaining adult life.
Surely this Is not au outlook to justi-
fy serious worry or constant anxiety
for fear some dreadful thing will hap

Home Circle
Talk With Young Men.

The young man with limited means,
who has but a few hundred dollars to
begin life with, or perhaps has MOTH
ing but a pair Of strong and willing
hands, we would say to all such young
men that the farm is the best place
in the world. Do not be afraid OF
toll but set an example to the weak,
lazy loiterer about town by putting
your hand to the pillow.
II you are a young married man
then the farm offers still greater In
ducementS. We know 1t will cost
young wife some pangs to separate
from friends and hume II the town,
but IL she is a true woman she will do
it without a murmur, for the battle
of life Is an earnest one, and we must
each sustain our part. Do nut expect
to begin your married life in the same
style that your father and mother are
nov enjoying in their old age, with
the fruits Of many years Of t0il;but be
contented to begin humbly.
Plant. and SOW, and reap; build
your dwellings, and garnish them
about with fruits and flowers; pro-
mote agriculture, me OF the great in
situations of God; and when your sons
and daughters grow up like olive
plants around your table, while you
fail not to remember their physical
wants, remember also to supply their
intellectual food the mind Graves; let
them have good books and papers and
proper recreation, that they may not
imbibe the false notion that farming
is drudgery and every farmer and
farmers wife a drudge.
AS we look about us, how many sons
and daughters of wealthy farmers we
see who despise their surroundings,
and only look on father" as a very
necessary machine to coin money for
their expenditure, and mother, 'whO
has labored for them every day since
they were born, as a very useful auto
nation for doing cooking and general
house work.
When you are tilling the rich soil
think how much Worthier is the cause
you are prosecuting than to crowd in
to some already O~ver-stOcked business
or profession in your home town, with
only n object in view-tO have white
hands and Immaculate clothing, and
to be always struggling with your
limited means to keep up with those
in outward seeming are much wealth
Ter than yourselves.

Satan Terrified.

There is AS great genius displayed
in advertising as IN the higher
branches Of literature. No problem
daunts the modern advertising man.
In The window of a little book store
In Eighth Avenue, New York. was
recently hcaped a great pile OF Bibles,
marked very low-never before were
Bibles offered at such a bar ain; and
above them all, In big letters, was the
inscription:

A Great Evil.

Oar race groans under evils. and
carries burdens heavy to be borne.
Some OF these may be traced back to
the first sin, and are beyond our TOM
troll; but most of them are of our
Own producing, and may be arrested
by a r~esolute act OF the will, or by
aids which come from other sources.
Two evils now fill the land and
world which are of human invention,
and are sustained by human author
ity. One OF these is alcoholic drinks
and the other is tobacco. Or the lat
ter we will say a few words. This
has grown and o%verspread the nations
Of the earth till To- it challenges
observation, reflection, and the exer-
else of enlightened conscience while
looking the facts 10 the face. Such
is its extent that many million OF
acres are occupied in its growth, pro-
ducing millions Of tons annually and
costing the human race fifteen
Thousand millions Of dollars. How
appalling such a state of things
while want and suffering are all
around us. Yet this enormous ex-
penditure is entire useless. No one
claims that he is the better for the
use of tobacco in any form. 1t is a
mere habit, %innocently formed and,
while at first perhaps a pleasure, has
grown to be a master and a tyrant.
Not only this, but it is an offensive,
filthy habit, finding no place in the
church, in the parlor. or elsewhere as
a high order Of society meets and in
dulgeS in exercises which the higher
nature Graves.
Multitudes using 1t are ashamed OF
the fruits OF It,, and would be glad to
be rid of it If they knew how to break
it's enchan vment. But this is not all,
or even the worst Of it. 1t is injuri-
Gus to health and when taken to ex-
cess operates as OF a poisonous nature,
weakening the system and leading to
premature death.
Such evils, together with its enor-
nous expenditure, ought to make
sober, rejecting, conscientious men
consider whether it can be right to
continue such a habit as this.

The Old Man.

Bow low the head-do reverence to
the Cd man, once like you. The
vicissitudes Of life have silvered his
hair and changed the round. merry
face to the worn. vlSage before you.
Once the heart beat with aspiration,
crushed by disappointment, as yours,
perhaps, is destined to be. Once that
form stalked promptly through the
gay scenes of pleasure, the Leau ideal
of grace; now the hand OF time, that
withers the flowers Of yesterday, has
bent that figure and destroyed That
noble carriage. Once at your age, he
possessed the thousand thoughts that
pass through your brain, now wish
ing to accomplish deeds equal to a
nook in fame; anon imagining life a
dream that the sooner he awuke from
the better. But he has lived the
dream very near through; the time
to awaken is very near a. hand; his
eve never kindles at old deeds Of dar-
ing, and the hand takes a firmer
grasp OF the staff. Bow low the head,
boy. as you would in your old age be
r~everenced. .
Woman's hopes are too often blast
ed. In early youth many say to them
selves. II shall be happy when / have
a husband to love me best OF ALL"
then when the husband is too care
less, my child will comfort me;''
then, through the mothers watching
and toll, my child will repay me
when it gro VS. up" And at last,
after the long jour ey Ut years has
been YEARLY travelled through, the
mothers heart il weighed down by a
heavy burden, and no hope remains
but the grave. We hope this may not
be the case with any who weekly read
this c. ,lumn, but all must admit that
it is often a true history of woman-s
hopes.
