The value of a good reputation is never so strikingly shown as when accusations of crime are made against a man of good repute. His reputa tion is a shield that can be broken down only by the most positive tes timony. On the other hand, every body is ready to believe a charge of evil brought against a niau of bad repute. We read of instances almost every day. A crime is committed and the police arrest a suspect. At first there is little evidence against him. He was observed near the scene of the crime about the time of its commission, and this fact alone, bein' conpled with his bad reputa tion, is held to justify his detention uutil investigation can be made. Under similar circumstances a man of good reputation is in no danger of arrest. He can defend himself against much stronger circumstantial evi dence. A criminal career must have a beginning, and it sometimes hap pens that a man of previous, good reputation commits a crime; but in such a case it is most difficult to con vict him except upon positive testi mony. Sometimes, indeed, it is shown that his good reputation was unde served; that he had been leading a double life; and then, of course, his reputation beiug gone, he becomes more vulnerable. It is a general truth, however, that a good reputa tion protects a man from suspicion of wrong-doing and that a bad reputation directs suspicion against him. What is true of the effect of repu tation good or bad upon the stand ing of men in the presence of an accusation of crime is true also of their standing in all the relations of life. Good reputation inspires con fidence even among strangers, bad reputation as surely arouses suspi cian. Young men especially should guard their reputation. Chances of promotion come to them very often without their knowledge. A discus sion takes place as to the trust worthy character of a young man. If he has established a good reputa tion, advancement is certain; but if there are vague rumors afloat that he is beginning to dissipate or is as sociating with idle or vicious people he is rejected without being invited to explain or to defend himself. Good reputation should, of course, be based upon good character; but good character alone is not sufficient. Tue young man must avoid even the appearance of evil. He must be care ful in the choice of companions, selecting oaly those of good charac ter and reputation, and he must avoid frequenting places of amuse m:?nt of a questionable sort. An up right young man might without harm to his character frequent the race track, pool rooms, concert halls and like places, but his reputation would suffer from such associations. The world recognizes that men of bad character may for a time enjoy a good reputation, but the cases are so rare in which good character is joined to bad reputation that it is quite justified in judging men by appearances. Reputation, then, founded upon good character should be jealously guarded. No one can tell when a good reputation may be of the great est service. The lives of most men have few dramatic features. The ef fect of reputation, though it may be the controlling factor in advance ment to higher positions, passes al most unnoticed; in rare cases a good reputation may save a man from prison or the gallows when charges of crime are made upon circumstan tial evidence. The latter instances serve only as forceful illustrations of the value of good reputation a value that exisits at all times and may be called into service at any moment of one's career. Always do the best you can and let others think as they will. How to Cure Croup. Mr. It. Gray, who lives near Amenia, Duchess county, N. Y., says: -Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best medi cine I have ever used. It it a tine child ren's l-emeilv for crouu and never fails to cure." When giveu as soon as the chihl becomes hoarse, or even after the croupv cough has developed, it will pre vent the attack. This should be borne in mind and a bottle of the Cough Rem. edy kept at hand ready for instant use as soon as these symptoms appear. For sale by M. K. Koumson tsro., J. t. Vtiii,.i'- Driio- Store.

Lady Montagu said, "There is no entertainment so chearj as reading and no pleasure so lasting." The perusal of biography is a great com fort. I wish that every family had a Cyclopedia of Universal Knowl edge something they could turn to for reference or instruction or enter tainment. Cyclopedias cost much money, but the amount spent in a year or two for all sorts of modern literature would pay for Appleton's or some other standard work. I was ruminating about this because my friend Murphy told me that the wood cock did not raise her young in a nest, but carried them about under her wings and fed them as she jour neyed from place to place. Murphy is considered authority on hunting and fishing, but we do not give full credit to fishermen's yarns, and so I turned to the cyclopedia and found it just as he said. The bird rarely has more than two young ones and carries them about with her nestled under her wings. This reminds me that old Tom Price, an illiterate man of great observation, said that the big owl laid but one egg and when it was hatehed and the young bird feathered she laid another egg and made the young bird cover it aDd hatch it while she was foraging around for food for both. Observation and experience are good school teachers, and if a man has a good cyclopedia for reference he can get a pretty good education. And there is the comfort of studying the lives of great or notable men and women. In idle moments it is a re creation to open a volume at random and read these brief but lucid biogra phies of Socrates, Plato, Gallileo, Seneca, Archimedes and other grand old men of the olden time, and of Mozart, Handi, Raphael, IJeethoven and the great masters of art and music. The other day I chanced up on Cevantes a Spaniard the author of "Don Quixote," and it was a reva lation. If he had been an English man he would have taken rank with Shakespeare and Milton and Pope. Indeed most of the English writers borrowed from him for they could translate his bright sayings and quote them in English without fear of detection. "Dou Quixote" (pro nouced kee-ho-te) is not his best work, but it is the most enjoyable, and it effectually paralyzed the pom pous chivalry and knight errantry of the time. The knights soon be came the butt of universal ridicule, and yet there is not a malicious or malignant line in the book. One who enjoys such sarcasm can read and laugh until be has the side ache. Philip III saw a student reading a book and convulsed with laughter. He said: "That young man is crazy or he is reading 'Don Quizote.'" Cevantes became a soldier in early life and joined the Christian army against the Turks. He was despe rately wounded at the great battle i of Lepanto and lost the use of his left arm for life. Gut he soon joined the army again and was taken pris oner by the Moors and kept in prison for five years. He was ransomed and then began his literary career. Dante and Tasso had then begun to illuminate the literary world and Shakespeare was close behind, but Cevantes was seventeen years older than Shakespeare and they died on j the same day in the same year. For J maxims and epigrams Cervantes never had an equal. They have be come household words in all the world we find them in Shakespeare, but they were borrowed from Cer vantes. "Make hay while the sun shines," "Murder will out," "Lit tle said is soonest mended," "More knave that fool," "Faint heart ne'er won fair lady," "Look before you leap," "The proof of the pudding is the eating of it," "Never build cas tles in the air," "Honesty is the best policy," ' The pot should not call the kettle black," "A peck of trouble," "Don't count your chickens before they are hatched," "Don't look for birds in last year's nests," "Plain as the nose on a man's face," "You have got the wrong sow by the ear," and scores of others all came from Cervantes. To cap the climax of his character, he was a good man good to his wife and children and always cheerful and had no enemies. Once he was put in prison for a little debt and wrote himself out by selling sketches to the press. President Gilman says that the young people read too much and clog their minds was a mass of trifles and trash, but reading the biography of great think ers, writes, inventors and masters of art and music is storing away use ful knowledge. The examples set by the good helps to mold our own char acters, for, as Longfellow said: "Lives of great men all remind us We can make our live sublime, And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.'" What a debt of gratitude we owe to those who have gone before us. Old Dr. Johnson said to Boswell: "We can never pay it, sir not a tithe of it, but it is every man's duty to do something for posterity. He should write a good book or invent I some useful thing or raise up a son who will be a good citizen and fight ,the battles of his country. If he can't do anything else, sir, he can plant a tree or a vine that will give fruit or shade to those who come after him. Let no man live a blank and die like a dog!" I believe that our education begins here in infancy and continue through youth and manhood till we die and goes on without a recess or vacation as soon as the spirit reached heaven if it goes there. This life is but a probation, a kindergarten, a type of the life to come. "I want to be an angels; a harp within my hand," is a very childish idea of heaven and so is that other couplet "Teach me some melodious sonnet Sung by tlaming tongues above." , Music will be taught there, of course, but it will not-btwng by tongues on fire. I believe that our elevation in science and art will be gradual and progressive, just as it is here. The intelligent soul will be employed in mastering the mysteries of heaven and earth and the universe. We strain our thoughts now to reach the remotest planet and wonder what is away beyond and where the firma ment ends. Every year reveals new wonders here that were never dream ed of by our fathers. Isaac Newton said: "I have solved a little, near the shore, but the vast ocean of mystery lies beyond." We are climbing high er and higher and it is the duty of every one to climb as high as is pos sible so as to have a good start in the next life otherwise we will be assigned to the first grade or perhaps go foot. I have thought that Moses and Elijah were chosen to witness the transfiguration because of their high rank in heavenly attainments. It will be all right for little children to begin at the bottom, but it will be mortifying to old people, however good they may be, to have to go into an infant class. Yes, I believe there will be schools there and teachers whose delight will be to educate and elevate the willing minds of their pupils and witness their expansion as, one by one, the mysteries of heaven's arcana are unfolded to them. What supreme delight will woman have in growing flowers into new colors and forms in making pearls and rubies and sapphires from heaven's ele ment, in singing the songs of the angels and adorning the temples of God. Yes, I heard Jennie Lind sing once, and I hope to hear her sing again, I heard George Pearce preach once, and hope hear him again. I used to listen with rapture to Dr. Means as he soared among the stars and lifted our young minds up higher and high er until we almost feared he could not come down without a fall. He up among the stars now, and is hap py. Yes, I hope to see John Milton there and hear him tell of Paradise regained. But this is enough, for I am not preaching now I wish I was. If there were no other inducements to draw us heavenward it is enough that we will meet all the great and good men of whom we have read nd now turning from things heav enly to those that are of "earth earthy" and dirty, too, it is amusing to see our Legislature having a mighty controversy about redisrict ing the State. They don't seem to know that Congress will soon save them that trouble, for the resolution is already prepared to reduce our representation from eleven to five districts. The ax is laid at the root of the tree. Th. New York Press says that Congress will onl' wait for the census report to be presented and this report will show that five States have disfranchised the negroes by law and three (Georgia, Florida and Arkansas) disfranchised them in fact by other methods. Georgia is put down at 210,000 negroes practi cally disfranchised. The proposed cut will reduce the representation of eight States from 53 to 30 Represen tatives. Alabama will lose 4, Ar kansas 2, Florida 1, Georgia C, Lou isiana 4, Mississippi 5, South Caro lina 4 and Virginia 2. The other Southern States have not been sen tenced. The Press says that the House is bound by no rules of court and it is not necessary to find that the negroes have been denied by law; but it is only necessary to find that their rights have been denied and the census returns will prove this and the cut will certainly be made. It is about time now for the blue and the gray to embrace again. Bill Art. rotated Paragraphs. An old fool is always more foolish than a young fool.

Among the tens of thousands who have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for eolds la grippe during the past few. years, to our knowledge, not a single case has resulted in pneumonia. Thos.

The season is at hand when wholesalers will be more intent upon oc-o, .u comitur inventories, than uponmak-' ng fresh purchases; and the atten tion of retailers from now on will be argely taken up by the holiday trade, which promises to be of exceptionally large volume. The woolen goods trade is in the between seasons stage, but mills are busy on old orders, and the outlook for the new season is ex cellent. Corn prices have further advanced I to 2 cents per bushel owing to the ight interior movement and con tinued bullish speculation. At many points in the West prices of corn are higher than in Chicago, and the trength of the speculative markets is no incentive to farmers to ship the grain that is needed for consumption n the territory where it was grown. The effect of the high cost of corn upon the export trade is indicated by the fact that the week's clearances for Europe have been only 630,000 bushels, as against 4,801,000 bushels for the corresponding week last year. Very little of this grain is moving to the seaboard from points west of the Alleghenies Higher interior prices of hogs, a good domestic demand, fair exports and the increased cost of feed explain further advances in Chicago prices of 921 cents per bar rel on pork, 57 cent per 100 pounds on ribs and 771 cents per 100 pounds on lard. Wheat prices have advanc ed 1 to 11 cents per bushel as a result of good speculative support and in j sympathy with the strength of the! markets for corn and hogs products. How Do You Know those baking powders are made from alum ? Their lower price, their unfamil iar names, generally betray them. But it is not necessary for you to know. You know that Royal does not contain alum, that it makes the best food, that it is pure and healthful. You know that alum powders are unhealthful. This knowledge is sufficient to enable you to protect yourself and your family from alum baking powders and the evil results which are cer tain to follow their use.

Pains in the Back Are symptoms of a weak, torpid i.r stagnant condition of the kidneys or liver, and are a warning it is extremely hazardous to neglect, so important is a healthy action of these organs.
