Apt t Lra Mora fctrU Tan. CUy B-y. A distinguished man, whose boyhood wan passed partly in the country and partly in the city, recently testified that he found his boy companion in the coun try much worse than thoae in the city. "It U our habit to think of the conn-try,- he naitl, "aa the abode of innocence and purity, and of the city a the haunt 01 to, nut at this remove of time I can not recall hearing a single bad word from my schoolmate in the large institution which I attended in Boston. I feel ure that some must have been nttered. for there were several hundred boys in the uuuamg, out 1 cannot remember hear ing any. "My experience with the boya in the wmiury is. uuwever. in my memory verr different There were two ortl dreadful boyn there who corrupted wnoie tschooL rhey were fourmouthod and full of iniquity." A family of boys who spend their sum mers in the country and their winters in the city have frequently remarked the nauie thing. They find good boys in both places, but more badness in proportion in the country, and, as they themselvea express it, "their badness ia worse." 'Somehow., remarked one of them naively, "the city boys are more polite about It, ana maybe it s only that that makea them aeem not quite bo bad. Nearly all who posseus an intimate ac- quaintance with both city and country will testify to the general truth of these conclusions. The reasons are not far to seek. In the city schools the youth are more carefully graded than in the country, not only in the direction of mind, but of morals. A normal and well brought up boy has a much wider choice as to hia playmates in the one than in the other, and such a boy will usually select his friends among the better boys. In the country he is thrown necessarily with children with whom his parents would much rather he should not associate. The democracy of the village is absolute, however, and any attempt to establish an aristocracy, even of virtue, is deeply resented, by the par ents of the objectionable youth. Such parents usually consider their children as good as the rest. In the city he has comparatively little opportunity to put in corrupting work among good boys. The bad boys herd by themselves and often become formid able gangs, the terror of peaceful citi zens and even of the police. In the coun try the bad boy has only a few compan ions as bent on sin as himself, but he has free access to well brought up children, often influencing them to deeds of evil which they remember with shame as long as they live. There seems a suggestion here for those who live in the country or who pass moii or less time there fach year, who love ft and cannot bear to think of the plague Bjwts upon it, to put in some mis- sionary work among the country bad and 8pontaneously doub ful boV in a country place may raise tne to of a whole neighborhood for tto ya q f"friTAXT a Trt aVirTw aiiVi Vuira that you regI)ect the in to praise them for whatever they excel m, to show i interest tatheir worthy suits, to take them, in hort, at their best-this work might be more farreach- ing in ite good effects than the getting up of a bazaar or the giving of a straw- berrv festival.

The painter and his friend had a inerry meal together. It was his first stroke of good luck ninco he came back from Paris, and it put such fresh ambition in to his brushes that he presently ob tained several commissions for pictures and became comparatively prosperous. In the exultation of his success he quite forgot tho jxxir girl who sold his first picture. One night as he was going to a f asliionable reception a grimy news boy came to his studio and whispered hoarsely: "Say. mister, she's a-dyiri." "Who's dying?" asked the painter. "Why," continued the youngster, "her as used to stand fur her picter. She's a-dyin, I tells yer, an she keeps a-ravin an a-ravin about yer name thet I thought as how I'd come an tell ye.

Piloted by the newsboy, the artist made his way to the attic of a tenement in one of the poorest quarters of the city. On a mattress stretched on the floor the model lay, delirious, in the final stago of consumption. Sending the newsboy hurriedly for a physician, the artist knelt by the girl's side and tried to recall her wandering senses. But the dying woman looked at him blankly and turned away, moaning some confused thought about saving somebody's life. "He was so good and kind, and I loved him so until the grand ladies took him away from me," she whispered. "May bo he has forgotten me, maybe he has for gotten. But I have got it still, and when I get well and can make some money I mean to get it framed." A few minutes later the poor creature throw back her head and was still.

The sun rose, set and roae again. The earth turned round after its usual fashion. Its hundreds of millions of inhabitants got up, went about their business and lay down again to sleep. Only in the Me morial hall in Farringdon 6treet of the city of London was any watch kept upon the fleeting hours or any note made of the fateful steps of time. Out of all the swarming millions that crawl upon this earth only some 50 men and 300 women cared to mark the fact that another year had come and gone; that 1 ,893 years were now passed, and only three more years remained in which to prepare for the coming millennium. The Memorial hall, we learn, had been suitably decorated for the occasion with huge cartoons representing the "Dream of Nebuchadnezzar," the "Dream of Daniel " and the "Pale Horse of Pesti lence," and there beneath these pleasant emblems of prophecy sat the faithful few. while the latter day prophets ex pounded to them the dread meaning of the Apocalypse. Only three more years! On March 5, 1896, the end of this world, the resurrec tion of saints, and the ascension of 144, 000 living Christians will take place, and the 350 watchful Christians of Farring don street will meet with the reward of their pious vigilance.

"It wasn't a dagger either, but a genuine bowie knife that Macready got from Bdine southern admirer. It was among the things of youth in my home that I remember most distinctly.

Before stools, chairs or seats of some kind came into use men passed their lives in three postures standing, lying or squatted on the ground like the noble red man. The last attitude is common to many carnivorous, animals, such as the lion, wolf, dog and some othersTand -vfts natural and inevitable. When the cave man was not squatted with his fam ily about the fire, he was lying on the . - -i -i i ?n 3 skins of animals ne naa jemey. or ou pile of brush and leaves in one corner. It required no great genius of invention to discover the first raised seats. The primitive hunter or herdsman, having accordingly seated nimseiron bowlder, a lose or a block of wood, wonl naturally transfer one of these objects to his domicile if he thought it would add to his domestic comfort or his dignity. As a hard seat without a back offers but an uneasy support to the person, it is not surprising that the reclining or squat ting posture has always been preferred by savages, and that the Arabs and ori ental nations in general cling to their carpets and cushions without any desire to change.

Elegafnce, o be sure! But what has become of the genuine welcome that, sending a radiant beam from eye to eye, lighted the glow f happiness in meeting souls? Sacri- ficed to ceremony and display, and ex hausted women are taking to boarding to do away with the necessity of receiving friends beneath their root, just because they feel they cannot afford in money or strength to entertain. If Mrs. A. chances to have a more beautiful home than Mrs. B., it appears ) Mrs. B. impossible that her friend Mrs. A. could accept her simpler envi ronments without criticisms or discom fort, and 6o Mrs. A. is not invited to spend the day or week with ono who ia mentally an inspiration to her and whose simple home would seem a paradise b tho woman weary with the care of su perfluous things that Mrs. B. stands in Kiicu awe ot. v nat mignt nave been a cordial, helpful friendship becomes mere formal acquaintance, and life goes on unsunned by tho sympathy and love that would have crowned a close companion ship. Tmo hospitality is a, joy, not a burden. It is.irincerely proffered ; it is simply re ceived. The guests feel tho welcome in every kindly glance and kindred thought and accept with like grace. And true hospitality entails no obligation; it car ries no debit and credit accounts; it is a joy to ki-o or to receive. Housekeeper. A Story Told by a Drummer. In New York city one day last sum mer a poor man was sitting in the shade of a building playing a hand organ. lie was terribly mutilated, and aa his cloth ing was of the army blue it was an ac cepted fact that he had received his in juries in the war. Both arms had been taken c2 at the elbows, and both legs had been lost at tho kuees. He was turning the crank of the organ with an iron hook, which ho attached to the 6tump of his right arm. He was playing a sad old army hymn on the organ, and the people occasionally dropped coins into the small basket which was placed on the top of tho organ. Up the street came a tall, military looking man with his left coat sleeve empty. He looked at the man with the organ for a moment and then dropped a f2 bill into tho receptacle for the money. Before the organ player could give a word of thanks the donor disappeared In the crowd. In the course of a few min utes, however, he returned and dropped another bill of the same denomination on the top of the organ after a critical sur vey of the unfortunate man. I am suro you must have been a-eol- dier, too," said the poor man. "I was," replied the other, with an in tonation of satisfaction in his voice. "It wa3 a glory to fight under the old flag," said the man with the organ. "I was on the other Bide, was the re ply. "Then why are you so kind to a man who fought against you?" Because you are the first d d Yan kee I ever saw who was trimmed right," and ho was at once lost in the crowd. St. Paul Globe. Migrating Norwegian Bats. Norwegian lemming rats still observe an ancestral custom by migrating south in a strict bee line, lighting and gnawing their way through all obstacles. They travel in armies of many hundreds of thousands and have regular vanguards to charge every living impediment. Foxes, and even wolves, might yield to a charge of that kind, for the jealous little rodents make up in numbers and activity what they lack in strength, but their tactics miss their purpose in their application to a still greater matter of co-operation, and hundreds of farmers join in a campaign of extermination as soon as their scouts report the advance of the lemming horde. Equipped with untanned boots and double jackets they are ratproof and use iron ringed clubs that knock down whole squads of the squeaking invaders at each blow, but the eight of their dy ing leaders entirely fails to daunt the pluck of the rear ranks. On they come with a blind disregard of the conse quences, and in the fury of combat cling by scores to the impenetrable boots of their slayers and sometimes to the very clubs, allowing themselves to be swung clear of the ground and down again with crushing effect San Francisco Chronicle, ai jsxcitea caertyman.

"The Canadian mite," the largest cheese ever made in tho world, has ar rived at the exposition grounds and ia in place. It forms part of tho Canadian dairy pyramid in Agricultural building. The mammoth cheese was made under the direction of Professor llobertson, the Dominion dairy commissioner, at one of the government dairy stations in Ontario. Two hundred and seven thou sand two hundred pounds of milk were used in making it. That is equal to the milk for one day in September, when the cheese was made, of 10,000 cows. The cheese itself weighs 22,000 pounds and measures 28 feet in circumference by 6 feet in height ihe mammoth choose stands on a brobdingnagian truck, which has been built out of a Canadian oak for trans porting it through Great Britain after it leaves Chicago. Tho case of the cheese was beautifully painted when it started on its journey, but by tho time it reached the fair grounds it lore 10,000 autographs. There was not a spot on tho 28 by 6 feet surface two inches square which did not carry some name or names. Tho boys and girls fairly be sieged it at the railway stations, and de spite all protests inscribed their names on ita surface. Chicago nerald. The Administration and "Society." The gossips of the capital who like an administration for tho pleasure there is in it for them have doubtless been won dering why social considerations have been so much ignored. Why are there to be no big cabinet banquets? Well, per haps there are, but it must be confessed that on the surface there ia no sign of one. Nevertheless fashion must not frown on Mr. Cleveland as if he were its enemy. It Bhould recall the first cabinet and remember with deep gratitude the gracious and abundant hospitality of the Bayards, the Endicotts, the Whitneys and the Fairchilds. Mr. Cleveland is not unwilling that his cabinet should give feasts and dances, but he chooses his as sociates for their capacity for carrying on the business of the administration. Society will flourish whether or not the cabinet helps along theenjoyment. but there ia no reason under our consti tution and with our republican views why poor men should be debarred from the cabinet or why the country should not enjoy the services of an able man whoso polite education had been un fortunately neglected. The graces of life are good, and Washington will have them notwithstanding the cabinet, but it is not essential to tho transaction of the public business that the secretary of state should be able to furnish sumptuous en tertainments for tho idlers of the capital, or that he should add to his diplomacy a nice taste for terrapin and burgundy. Harper's Weekly. Wanted A Nourishing Stimulant. What the nation needs is an inexpen sive food that will stimulate as well as nourish. All men crave stimulants in some form, and an article of food that will nourish and stimulate at the same time will do more toward lessening drunkenness than all the laws and lec tures that can be devised. It must, how ever, not be an expensive food, but one within the reach of alL It must also be a pure food, suitable for man. woman and child. If whisky can be distilled I from corn and that is what is being done it does seem an if this same corn, for instance, might be prepared for food and retain its stimulating qualities and still be harmless. So with other grains. On the score of economy such food would be sought after, and if palatable and nourishing it would meet the crav ing demands of the masses. To meet the demands of teraperaace its consumption must stop short of intoxication and stim ulate only to a harmless extent, no mat ter what the amount consumed be. Many kinds of food now In use stimulate to a limited extent, but none meets the de mand. They say that "where there is a will there ia a way." The will is here; now let some one blaze the way.

Not having Men anything in your valuable paper from Chinqiiepin, 1 have concluded to write you, and inform you that the I'opulists are gaining strength since the wipe out of silver. The in quiry is now, what has become of the would-be tariff reform orator that made us such a speech be lore tin election. He had brought out from my friends stre goods to show the people what great reductions would be made if the party was elected. They were elected and we have wait ed patiently, and we have neither heard from reform nor our tariff re former, and ur people are much in need of the reduction. Twll the young orator that the reduction has been so long coming that the goods lying over are getting badly moth eaten. Silver has now got the yel low fever and we are afraid our friend has the same disease. locs he still talk reform, or has ho gone back to his old trade, welcoming guests to the hotel f VilTKU.
