THE BOY AND A TRADE.
Manson Democrat.

The wordsmith of this department
sincerely hopes that the operations
that require hard labor and little skill
or education viii not peter out for
good many years. If they do il is
problem TO know what is TO become Of
the majority Of the boys Of this town.
for there are very, very few Of them
who are improving their opportunities
for study and advancement along the
educational lines and in the trades. No
Manson boy is learning a trade at the
present time and very few boys in this
town seem at all anxious to take up
trade or a profession Their ambition
seems 10 be to do just as little work
as possible for money enough TO last
them from one weeks end 10 another
for the pleasures they are always look
ing for II is get the money easy
and spend it as quick as possible with
them, and their thoughts Of the future
are about a good time and no work,
with the old man or somebody else TO
pay the bills Hence ii is, if the heavy
work that requires very little skill or
education, plays out in few years.
most of our present day Manson boys
will have a hard time finding job
that they can make a living az.

tKeokuk Constitution Democrat
The town Of Hamilton is advertising
for bids for the construction Of 10000
square feet Of cement sidewalks. War
saw will construct twenty-ff five blocks
this year and a Keokuk contractor is
laying nineteen blocks in the little
hamlet of Elvaston. which has popu-
lation Of two or three thousand people
ANY one of these three small towns
will lay more cement sidewalk than
Keokuk probably will during the pres
ent year.
AS a matter of fact. all public i'm
provements have been completely sus-
pended. in Keokuk. There are num-
Der that are much needed but they
need not be expected this, and possibly
not next year. The commissioners as
sert that they have no money with
which to pay for public improvements
and in the next breath tell how much
money they have collected since they
came into power and how much they
have saved and have in the bank. Any
man with an income who does not pur-
chase the necessaries of life could make
certain sort of financial showing and
might by misery saving be compli-
mented for his splendid economy. but
the chances are that he would starve
to death. 1t looks as tho that was to
be the fate of Keokuk for some time
to come She will cease to be pro-
gressive town if a policy of that kind
is long maintained. Saving at the
expense of growth and keeping abreast
of modern requirements is generally
regarded as false economy. Even a
debt may be made a blessing.

Mark Twain's Religious Book.

The book. we are told, was written
at odd times between 1880 and lsoS.
1t sets forth in the form of dialog
between young man and an old man
its authors notions of the inner
springs Of human character" Midway
in this volume of 14O pages Is list OF
the principal religious faiths Of the
world. And upon this the old man re-
marks:
THAT list of sects is not a record OF
studies, searchings, seek!ngs after
light; it mainly (and sarcastically) IN
dicates what association can do. If you
know a mans nationality you can
come within a split hair Of guessing
the complexion of his religion: English
Protestant; American, ditto; Spanish
Frenchman, Irishman, Italian, South
American, Austrian, Roman Cathoilc'
Russian, Greek Catholic: Turk, mo
hammedan, and so on. And When you
know the mans religious complexion
YOU know what sort Of religious books
he reads when he wants some more
light and what sort OF books he AVOIDS,
lest by accident he get more light tnan
he wants In America II you kno"
which party collar a voter wears you
know what his associations are anu
how he came by his politics and when
breed of newspapers he reads to get
light. and which breed he diligently
avoids. and which breed of mass meet
ings he Attends in order to broaden
his political knowledge. and which
hreed of mass meetings he does not at
tend except to refute its doctrines Win
brickbats. We are always hearing OF
neor,. who are around seeking after
truth. / have never seen (perma-
nent) specimen. I think he has never
lived, But j have seen several entreiy
sincere people who thought they were
(pernanenD seekers after truth. They
sought diligently. persistently, care
fully. cautiously, profoundly, with per
feet honesty and nicely adjusted Juos
ment-until they believed that without
doubt or question they had 1ound 'ne
truth. That was the end Of the search.
The man spent the rest OF ms lie
hunting up shingles wherewith to pro
feet his truth from the weather. II
he was seeking after political truth ne
found 1t in one or another OF the nun
dred political gospels which govern
men in the earth; II he was seeking
after the only true religion ne 1ouho
II in one or another of the 3,0Oo tnal
are in the market. In any case. "heh
he found the truth he sought no 1ar-
ther. but from that day forth, with ms
soldering-iron in one hand ana MS
bl,1dgeon in the other, he tinkered It's
leaks and reasoned with ob1ectors.
There have been innumerable temper
ary seekers after truth-have you ever
heard Of a permanent one! m the
very nature Of man such a person Is
innossible. However, to drop back to
the restraining: all training is one
form or another Of outside influence,
and association is the largest part OF
I. A man is never anything but what
h,s outside influences have made him.
Thev train him downward or they train
him rpward-but they train him; they
are at work upon him all the time"

Losses in Coal Storage.

The Illinois tests of Prof. S. w. Parr
and Mr.. w. F. Wheeler seem to have
shown that the chief losses in the
storage of large quantities Of coal are
due to breaking up into dust and to
fires from spontaneous combustion.
The maximum loss from weathering
was not more than 31z per cent. in ILL
nois coal stored year. Other expert
mentors have differed, and have re-
ported loss in calorific power from
weathering as high as rs per cent.
