MOTTO FOR CHRISTIAN HOME.
Ideals, Which Consistently Lived Up
to, Cannot Fall to Make for hap
piness In Life.

This home is dedicated to good VIII.
1t grew out Of love. The two heads
OF the household we're called together
by power higher than they. To its
decree they are obedient. Every tone
OF the voice, every thought Of their
being, Is subdued to that service. They
desire to be worthy of their high cali
Ing as ministers of that grace. They
know their peace will go unbroken
only for little time. And often they
suspect that the time will be more
short even than their anxious hope.
They cannot permit so much as one
hour OF that brief unity to be touched
by scorn or malice. The worlds judg-
ments have lost their sting inside
this door. Those who come seeking
to continue the harmony which these
two have won are ever welcome. The
rich are welcome, SO they come sim
ply. The poor are welcome, for they
have already learned friendliness
through buffeting. Youth Ia welcome.
for 1t brings the Joy which these two
would learn. Age Is welcome, for 1t
will teach them tenderness.-Collier's
Weekly.

The almost unanimous verdict of
ancient and modern times is to the ef-
feet that julius Caesar was what
Shakespeare calls him: THE fore
most man OF all this world" Never
before or since has any one exhibit
ed in SO high degree all the quail
tiles Of born ruler Of men. And
never had any man grander role to
play. To preside over the most Inn

most important branch OF the human
race was a task that none by the
greatest Of men could successfully
perform. Caesar swept one obstacle
after another aside, and stood at last
where he meant to stand.

unpicked Grapes Go to the Poor.

unpicked Grapes Go to the Poor.
A curious old law, which dates from
i779, has been used to sentence the
owner of vineyard at Capestans.
near Beziers, France, to q fine and
costs for picking her own grapes. She
was picking the grapes which had been
left on the vines in her vineyard after
the fall gathering, when the policeman
told her that she was committing an
offense against the law, as all grapes
left on the vines after the harvest
were the property Of the poor. The
court at Beziers confirmed the police
mans opinion. and the woman was
convicted.

PUBLIC BONDS and MONEY
How Should They Be Issued?

At the school election July 10th, the
resolution to issue bonds to build and
equip the new school house read as
follows:
Resolved, That for the purpose of
securing the money needed to purchase
said plot, to erect said schoolhouse and
purchase said furniture and equip
ment, the Board be authorized to ap-
propriate the sum CT Thirty.Nine Thou
sand, Five Hundred Dollars 1888, $780,
COY, and borrow said sum by the
issue of of bonds, thirty in number in
the corporate name of the district,
Twenty-Five Of which bonds shall be i'll
denomination of One Thousand, Three
Hundred Dollars (SI3OO.00 10Y each and
one in the denomination Of One
Thousand, Eight Hundred Dollars
($l8Oo.OOl
Resolved, That one bond of One
Thousand, Three Hundred Dollars
($I300.0 COY, ST issued shall be payable
in one year from date of issue and one
bond of One Thousand. Three Hun
bred Dollars ($1300. COY each year there.
after until twenty-nine bonds shall be
paid and one bond of One Thousand,
Eight Hundred Dollars ($I6O0. COY shall
be payable in thirty years from date of
issue.
In Jul opinion the above resolution
in reguards to issuing bonds was badly
drawn and it is well that it was re-
scinded by the vote of November oath.
1t will be noticed that one bond must
he issued for $500 for each year for
twenty-nine years and one for $500
payable in thirty yeals. Unless a
person has exactly $1,000 or $500 to
invest that person will not be able to
take a bond. Public municipal bonds
should be issued in small denomina-
tions so that persons with small
amounts can inv est in their own public
debts, and not be compelled to get all
their loans from big financiers who may
be able 10 take the bonds at cheaper
interest because of having small
amounts of other PERSONS money de-
posted with them drawing no interest.
A law of Cong ess allows a National
Bank TO deposit a municipal bond with
the U. S. Comptroller and receive in
return bank notes for less than l per
cent. If you have a bank note read
what is printed thereon Secured by
U. S. bonds OF other securities" The
clause, other securities, was added about
three years ago, because the demand
for money became greater than the
supply Of gold, silver and bank notes,
ISSUED only on government bonds for
fifty years. would allow. The U. S.
treasurer las not only accepted state
and municipal bonds but also CORPORA
ton bonds as a basis for bank notes.
A resolution like the following would
be more for the public interest as in
vestors.
