their minds quietly and freely. as the
following story will show:
A man arrived one day at a village
where he commenced to lecture that
all men were equal and that no gov.

Speculation and Gambling.

1t has often been asked if man can

any one losing in the event Of his max

Steel that passed through the hands
Of nineteen spectators in a single day.
Each one of these nineteen bought and
sold them, and each one made money.
1t is idle to say that some Of these
may have lost what they might have

tics have shown that man is more dan

The general supposition is that men
have attained the highest development
Of their mental and physical powers at

be able to- distinguish between right

a food expert. The simplicity Of the

Death WARMING.

Oliver Wendell Holmes recorded his
protest against the custom of telling a
person who does not actually ask to
know that he cannot recover. AS that
loving observer Of mankind asserted, so
must every one who knows whereof he
speaks assert that people almost al
ways come to- understand that recov-
cry is impossible. 1t is rarely need
full to tell any one that this is the case.
When nature gives the warning death
appears to be as little feared as sleep.
