Worth till lite Way From I'ieco. to $5,000 n There is no table of weights and measures whereby may be estimated the value of encouraging word. Ap plied 1 to the balance of power for good or evil, it weighs heavily on the side of the lormer. and if tossed into the scales at the proper moment, it tips the beam on the side of right human action. The human ear is never ins jnsible to its vibrations. It heraids the belief that some one has in you and a whole volley of hope is fired into your soul ; around dozen of latent virtues wake up and salute you and wonder where you have been to have allowed them to go on napping, and after that springs get into "your heels and ozone into tne atmosphere and unconsciously aj standard of excellence formulates! llOI.lt All Ji VUl llilUU AV tions spur you on to. scramble up to it. An encouraging word is af good thing to receive, and it is a better thing to give.- Too few of us give them away, notwithstanding the tact that it is only when we given them that they pay interest. Encourag ing words are a regular investment. Try it on somebody and see. Try it on the children. It is the secret of all education, because it is an infalli ble rule in the education ol the heart, which is after all the most important education. Mechanical education and heart . education should form a combination, and when they do the woikl will 'rest upon the proper foundation of intelligence. Aow the methods ol the educator have changed since the present gen eration was in the primer and re garded the school teacher .as the natural adversary of everything young and human ! The rod and the insanity of excessive tasks were the discouragers of disobedience then; the roll of honor is the encourager of obedience nowadays. The world is growing daily to understand the futility of despotic methods in gov ernment. - If you have not thought about this, it is a capital subject for reflection. It holds in every particu lar. Why, human nature starves for the want of encouragement and ap preciation. Wherever you go you see faces made blank and unrespon sive for the lack of it, as blank , for the lack of giving as of receiving it. What is personal magnetism, that rarest of gifts? It is the outward glow ol the inner tire ot genuineness and sympathy. Encouraging words are the sparks that crackle and snap from this fire. 'Any one may become a jmagnet. Kally all your generous impulses and disDense them in the form of encouraging words. They canr.ot-yield if you lock them up in your own bosom any more than money can pay interest if you keep it in your trunk. The world is starved for them, and they are worth all the way from five dollars to five thousand dollars apiece. They only yield intesest when you give them away. It sounds para doxical, but try it as an investment. , Baltimore Sun. All liorn in 1800. A wave7 of great men (or babjes that were destined to become yreai) seems to have swept over the world in 1809.

ALLISOX ON THE TARIFF LEGISLATION Tariff Matter the Only ThiiiR Holding the House Together President to l'er mit it to Briiu Law Whoa the Treasury In liedy. Washington, August ; -0. There is good reason to believe that the week that opens txlay will sea the close of the second session of the fifty-third congress. The work of the senate is finished ; the last of the appropriation bills was completed and the conference reports adopted Friday, and there is nothing now for the " senate to do but clean up the, fag ends of u very busy and a very entertaining session. . About the only thing that keeps sena tors here is the tariff bill-; and the gen eral impression- novv is that the presi dent will permit it to become a law just as soon as the treasury officials are ready to carry it into effect. That he does not intend to veto the bill is clear, for the. law print is now being prepared at the government printing office. Af ter today it is likely that the senate will meet for a short time daily and then adjourn pending the reception of the Darin bill. Until it is known just when to expect this measure from the presi dent it is not likely that a joint resolu tion fixing a day for adjourmnentwill be introduced. . Senator Allison Is Heard. , la the meantime there will be an effort, and perhaps a successful one, to pass the house bill to repeal all laws authorizing a rebate of the internal revenue tax on alcohol used in the arts. Senator Shernian, in his "plain talk" on Saturday, showed the necessity for the passage of that measure, and Sena tor AlT'ison will be heard on the same point, and on the whole subject of this session's tariff legislation today. Thre is not much for the house of representatives 10 do, apparently but to wait for the action of the president upon the tariff bill and then adjourn. The adoption of the Murphy resolution in the senate Saturday is taken as an expression of the determination on the part of that body to do more business. and the futile efforts of the managers to get a quorum to rote on the sugar trust and sugar bounty resolution dem onstrated the fact, that like the house the senate was practically without a quorum. Therefore, it is assumed that none of the bills yet in conference be tween the two houses nee 1 to be fur ther considered at this session. Xo Utlls In Conference "Will Tass. It is not likely they would be passed, even 'were the conference to come to an agreement thereon. Among1 this class of measures are two proposed judicial' changes, one relating to the powers of commissioners appointed by territorial courts, and the other to the payment of state taxes levied against corporations in the hands of receivers appointed by United States courts. The committee on rules has notified chairmen of com mittees applying for a day on which to consider business reported from them that no more allotments of time for that purpose will be made. As long as the house remains in session, bills maybe considered and passed by unanimous consent and nothing that does not meet general approval stands any show of getting through. Just lefore the house adjourned last Thursday an effort was made to gain consideration for the bill reported by a conference committee and agreed to Chat day by the senate, prohibiting the immigration of anarch ists. But objection was made by sever al members and the probabilities now are that it must go over until next scs-j sion. , ' POPULISTS IN A FRACAS. The Violent Clottinff Seenn in a Ilumond Jnd..

THE FIGHT OVER KOREA. Oriental Taper IJifPer as to the Relative Strength of China and Japan. Victokia, It. C. August 17. The ori ental papers which were received by the Taeoma yesterday differ as to the relative strength of Japan and China, hut the opinions prevail that al consid ered, they are "on tolerably equal terms. The war will be watched with interest as the hrst-occasion when steel armored vessels .will be in conflict. English pa- pers in Japan ridicule the claims of Ja pan to a great naval victory in the first engagement as the vessels engaged were in no way equal. The king of Siam was reported to be dead when the Taeoma left and 11. M. S. Rattier had irone into the . Siamese waters. Since the naval fight at Gasan ( the running of Japanese steamers be- I tween Jinsen and Fusan has been sus pended. General, travel on smaller ori ental lines is much broken and news of an authentic nature is difficult to ob- ain. That the western world knows nore about the Korean situation than ia,h. be learned either in Hong Kdng or Yokohama was the verdict of passen gers ou the Taeoma after looking over he late dispatches in local papers. THE QUEEN AND CRESCENT. Possession of the Kntire System by the Southern Is Conceded by the Magnates. Louie viixe, Ky., August 17. The Louisville Southern railroad was sold to Drexel.

The total of the mort gage indebtedness before the sale was 500,000, and the road only bringing 1,000,000 will pay but twenty per cent of the debt. Immediately after the sale the gentlemen, accompanied by a number of local railroad magnates and omeicials from the East Tennessee, Vir ginia and Georgia and Cincinnati South ern road, -left on a special train .for Atlanta; Ga., where another road is to be put up for sale. It is said, upon the i authority of an attorney of the South- ern railroad company, that the Cinein- i nati Southern road's lease will be sold Saturday,' August loth. The Drexel Morsran officials ' said yesterday i that they would iti the end of-the week have bought six railroads. Railroad men concede that the possession of the entire Queen and Crescent system by the Southern road is a matter of a short time only. IN FAVOR. OF LILLIAN RUSSELL.

As the. architect ul j of ! the Wilson bill, which, notwithstand- i ing its final su'iortliitation to the senate 1 bill, was a democratic realisation of tariff reform hopes and platform prom- ; ises, he has been advanced to a conspi cuousness in 'his party second only to that of Grover Cleveland, and in the course of affairs it would have seemed natural and probable that he would be ; the democratic pres: ler.tial candidate for 1S00. It was 1h MeKinley bill which suggested McKinley as the "'logi cal candidate." and the- same ' r?aon would make Wilson the logical candi date of his party. He will never be a candidate . for the presidency, however. That much is certain, so that the Wilson bill, unlike the McKiuley bill, can never have a presidential sequel. . (lis friends have fully considered the presidential ques tion, and have dismissed it as an impos sibility. Mr. Wilson has little taste for the hurly-burly of congressional or politi cal life., lie is naturaily a student.. He was drawn away from the presidency of the West Virginia University to.- take a congressional nomination. Hut his scholastic tendencies have always pre dominated, and his friends say they would have better sco;e for ruefulness in the quiet, dignity and learning Which pervades the United States su preme court, ilis friends h4ve consid ered it carefully, and they say that Mr. Wilson will be the next man to be ele vated to the supreme bench, in ease a vacancy occurs during Mr. Clevelund,'s presidential term. The men who say this stand in the very front rank of the president's advisers, and- this, with the personal devotion the president has' for the. tariff leader, seems to make it cer tain that Wilson will goon the supreme bench in case a vacancy occurs during Mr.- Cleveland's term.

The statistical report brought on a lively discussion at the Quaker meet ing at High Point last week, which resulted in a very important step being taken. Last year those who engaRetl in the manufacture and sale ol spirituous liquors, and those who engaged in the revenue service, were disposed of in short order. To-day, when it was shown by the statistical report that the Society of Friends has not a few dram-drinkers in its membership, a half dozen Friends were on their feet almost in an instant to demand that such a record should never be permitted to come before the Yearly Meeting again. Jas. R. Jones started the ball to rolling. He said the amount spent annually by Friends for tobacco and whisky would almost pay oil the in debtedness of the Yearly Meeting, and carry on its work besides. , Dr. Cartland, of Concord, stated that he was always ashamed to hear these statistic read, and thought all. whiskey-drinkers should be turned out of the 'Church. He said he could stand tobacco it he had it to do, but could not stand the whiskey. Some Friends rejoiced that matters are no worse than they are. The discussion resulted in definite action being taken, for instructions are to be sent down to all subordi nate meetings that all members who cannot give up their drams shall be disowned by the church. This is a very advanced step, and is a blow to the liquor traffic, not through politics but through the church. At any rats, hereafter dram-drinkers cannot ! be Quakers.
