A Car For Drunkards. Tlie most effective rebuke'' t6
drunken inen lies in the refusal.;6f sober persons to associate with them:
The lust man in the world to willingly align himself with his own class is the drunkard.
The worst sea&onod criminal may be proud of his vicious associations and boast of his criminal achievements. Harlots congenially herd together.
But the drunkard is ashamed of his own class. He will not be clas-siiied as a drunkard if he can help it. If he can help it by no other means he may even go to the extreme of ceasing to get drunk.
Railroads running out of London have put on a series of trains known as drunkards' expresses, in which intoxicated persons are carried, to the great relief of the traveling pub lie generally and also to the greater convenience and safety of the drunkards themselves.
1 Jut. the drunkard does not like to he herded and labeled, aud it is said iliut men who used to go home drunk every night now dodge the obnoxious classification by going home sober.
On every railroad where drunken men ride the special car should be provided for them. It is but proper protection to decent persons who wish and have a right to ,ride in peace.
The drunkards' car would never be crowded. Men will remain sober rather than be cut off from decent, order loving people and thrust with drunkards.
For even the drunken roan detests and loathes a drunkard.—Des Moines Daily News.
Worth While. '.
Like many other kind-hearted persons, the late Mary Map«s Dodge never could make herself believe that organized charity was the only sort that did good. She considered organized charity rather cold. She believed in the charity spirit, which, she said, was best fostered by the direct, personal contact of recipient and giver, llence she never refused a beggar. And, defending herself in^liis position one day, she narrated a conversation that she once overheard between two Maryland tramps as they lay under a tree on a superb afternoon. '"Bill," said the first, '"why is it that poor people is always willin' to help us, while rich folks always turns ns down?" The other, with a mirthless laugh, replied: Them that don't mind givin' things
away_ is Uieonealbjjtatays poor." -
"I am Nicholas Giulot, professor of chemistry," said a tramp gathered with other vagabonds in the streets if I'uris, when asked by the police lieutenant to identify himself. And from his filthy clothes lie fished doc-iinii nts proving that be spoke the truth. Investigation showed that the tramp was a former lecturer at the University of Paris, that for years lie had astonished the scientific world by his discoveries, and that filially the government sent him to the Congo to study certain topographical and other conditions. When he came back from Africa the former society man seemed to have lost all his energy and gradually vanished from sight. "Send me to orison for a week, at least," he begged the police. "I must have regular food and a bed, lest I perish."
Among the common toilers at the Kokoino, lnd., plant of the Pittsburg Plato Glass Company is Robert H. Pitcairn, n young man worth §1,-tKKJ,'MK) in his oivn right and the heir to many more millions. He is a son of the lato 11. II. Pitcairn of Pittsburg, multimillionaire and president of the plate glass trust, whose death occurred a few months ago. fiefore his father's death young Pitcairn resolved to learn the plate glas3 trade from top to bottom end lie chose the lowest rung in the ladder for a foothold. lie is now Hear
ing the end of his studies, having lived out the routine of every department, carrying his lunch in a dinner pail like other employes, only a few of whom know hiin.
Congressman Charles E. Little-field of Maine and his extreme prohibition following have secured control of the republican party machinery in that state and there is prospect of such an active cold water campaign as Maine has not Been in many a day. F. M. Simpson, chair man of the republican state committee, has resigned, and it is an open secret that his withdrawal is caused by the fact that the ultra prohibitionists are in the saddle and mean to choose the course.
Miss Helen Gould has given a substantial reward to Roy Irving Dixon, the nine-year-old lad who Baved a Denver and Rio Grand passenger train from destruction last year. The boy will begin study at Goodwill farm school and Miss Gould will furnish the monoy for his expenses there and at some university which he will attend after finishing preparatory courses. The boy flag-god a train with a red handkerchief just as it was about to run into rock slide.

One of the New York banks has adopted a most stringent rule against the use of intoxicants by its employes. Every man in the service of tlio bank lias been required to sign an agreement that he will not enter any place where intoxicants are sold. Two young men who had signed this pledge were summarily dismissed recently for taking a couple of young ladies into a fashionable restaurant after the theater.

Fill your Corn Cribs. The west has been sh'irt on corn
for two or three years. A good many feeders have been feeding from hand to mouth, buying corn nt prices above the Chicago market, less freight, and in almost every case higher than that paid by the local grain dealer. The prospect now is that we will have more than an average corn crop the United States over; not the bumper crop that the trade papers tell about, but more than an average crop.
Farmers should now take the opportunity to fill up their corn cribs. There is no need of rushing thus crop of corn onto the market. The more slowly it is marketed, the better it will be for the interests of all concerned. Corn furnishes the principal raw material for all kinds of of live stock, and no man cau run a factory successfully when ho buys his material from day to day and at a higher price than that of the terminal markets, taking into account the cost of transportation.
Don't let any man imagine that we have corn to burn, or to throw away, or to feed in the mud, or to feed in an unbalanced ration. Wise Joseph in old Egypt laid up, "corn" (not our corn, but small grain) in elevators against a series of bad years. The past experience of the western country would not lead us to suppose that we-are ever to have a series of bad years; but we may not have as much coin next year as this. The legitimate demand for corn for export, for manufacture, and for feeding, is so great that no man can can alford to have his farm operations interefered with by a shortage in corn.
It will pay the farmer who has abundance of corn this year to build some good cribs, repair his old ones, and provide in some way p|Bnty of ventUalion for these cribs. ttten. root them over, and make the com go just as far as possible.
A vast amount of com lias been wasted in many ways in past years, especially by injudicious feeding— feeding com in. mud, feeding it to stock which did not pay for the feeding and would not pay if corn were ten cents a bushel, aud feeding com exclusively. All these evils should be corrected as soon as possible Now that we have a good crop of corn, let us take care of it. The farm always looks better with a good crib of sound corn well covered. It is a .sign that the farmer is forehanded, understands his business and has good credit at the bank.—Wallace's Farmer.
Plant Busine s Orchards. ; The general rule is to plant the
leading business variety of the section, and not much of anything else, says an eastern exchange. In a Ben Davis region plant Ben DaviB. In
Newtown Hippin region select main trees of that choice variety. In the Baldwin belt raiso Baldwins, and so on.
Not only is the variety sure to succeed when it has been so thoroughly tried, but it can be marketed to better advantage and the dealers know what it stands for when grown in its favorite home and they understand just what to do with it. Mixed orchards are a nuisance from a business point of view. A few troeB of miscellaneous varieties around the home grounds are well enough, but not likely to add much to the cash income. But a solid block of a leading commercial kind will be likely to find whatever market there may be. Other kinda may be grown successfully; but where is the gain? In most paits of New England for instance, the Baldwin is the leader, and most growers in thai, section would be as well off if every tree were of that variety. Other kinds may do as well, but they are pretty sure to be harder to sell to full advantage. Hence, why grow other kinds?
Poultry Pickings. Bowel trouble in young chicks is
often prevented by the substitution of scalded milk for water.
A good preparation with which to clean eggs that are soiled is vinegar diluted with water. Clean eggs sell better. Don't you dislike to look at a basket of nasty-looking eggs even if you know they are fresh?
It should be the ambition of every poultry raiser, no matter how small his flock, to be the beBt in his neighborhood, to have the best breeds, the earliest young chicks, the earliest and best layers.
Grit is as necessary for the poultry as milk is for babies. Don't fail to keep a plentiful supply of this on hand. The hen must have lime in order to build egg shells, as they are largely composed of this substance. Hens cannot make lime oat of iron, sand or anything that isn't lime.
Secretary Wilson, of the department of agriculture, says that the hens of the United States last year laid 1,060.000 dozens of eggs. Ho,
slates that these eggs would pay the interest on our national debt. Surely the hen is worthy of recognition.
It is claimed that a hen will eat, more dirt than an ordinary hog. If that is so, it would be well to keep the poultry house clean, and in that way not give her a chance to satisfy her appetite in that respeet.
Thereare exceptions. Some localities have a reputation and fitness for a kind of apple not generally growing in the vicinity. Other localities have a special kind of market and should cater to it. Early kinds, lik<? the Williams and Duchess, often, pay best near our large cities where they can be placed quickly on the market. But in general it is much safer to plant the standard variety aud iet others mix their trees or test new kinds.—Farmers' Tribune.

The tirst was remembered chiefly on jifcouut of a love scrape, lie fell lit love with a nymph, but ?ouUl not spenlt softly and found him-sell' unubh- tu sigh at all.

Vesta was the goddess of life and of home. Her altar stood on every hearthstone; her fire burned on the floor of every public building. Emigrants wheu leaving their country always carried with them fire from the public hearth. The Vestal virgins spent thirty years in service—ten In Icarulug their duties, ten lu practicing them, ten in teaching novices. After thla term had expired they might, If they chose, leayo the service of their dlvtne mistress or marry, but few did so. Honors were showered upon them. Thfy ro<3<» !n chariots, a privilege in Rome accorded only to royalty. The best seata lu the amphitheater were reserved for them. They pardoned or condemned the gladiators. If a criminal led to execution met a Vestal he was instantly released, no mutter what; his crime.

CORPULENCE AND SANITY.
The fSorfjpel of Fat «» Applied to the .Mentally Afflicted.
Are the majority of folk of weak intellect? Is insanity on the increase? Are we all preparing ourselves for lunatic asylums? These - startling questions have occurred to me titter read-' Jug au article in o medical journal on the "gospel of fat as applied to the treatment of mental disease." It seems that the more you fatten up the mentally afflicted the saner they become, but of course the difficulty lies In providing the iuuatlc with adipose tissue, as there is nothing like brain disease to cause too, too solid flesh to melt.
The aim of most of us nowaduys is to keep down what our transatlantic friends, with their genius for using the ugliest word fo* everything, uncompromisingly call "liesh." We bathe, we massage, we diet, we tly to these and those waters, we fry all manner of cures aud put ourselves Into various kluds of straps and pastes aud take violent exercise with the aim of llniug out^elves down aud keeping stoutness at bay.
Does this decided disposition on the part of men and women to avoid corpulence aud the successful "thlnnlug down" that we notice on all sides portend increase of lunacy? If so, dieting aud the taking of waters and massage ought to be forbidden by act of parliament. By the way, Hamlet was fat and scant of breath, but he was cer-taiuly far from sane.—London World.
Some Wonderful Flfirurea. Figures on the light and heat of the
sun are the most startling that can possibly be presented. The astronomers measure the amount of heat and light emitted by the suu by estimating that the earth intercepts about the two billion three hundred millionth part of It. Thus it Is found that In every secoud of time the sun emits as much lieat as would result from the sudden combustion of 11,000,000,000,-000 tons of pure coal. It may bo interesting to the reader to know that each portion of tlse suu's surface as largo as this earth emits as much heat per second as would result from the combustion of 1,000,000,000 tons of-the best anthracite^fuel.
X>ie Lttundryman.. There is one branch of trade which
runs on in an even tenor regardless of prices and crashes. That is the laundry business. People who patronize laundries never economize on their linen. A man will average about so many shirts, collars and cuffs a week when he Is cutting down on his drinks and cigars and his theater tickets. And tills observation recalls the fact that the laundryinan uever has auy innovation In his business. He will ruin about so mauy shirts and collars and cuffs every three mouths and never say a word about It or make any deduction— if you keep quiet.—Chicago Tribuue.
The Fentlvul of Minerva. The most notable festival at Athena
was iu honor of Minerva. AU classes of citizens on this day marched in procession. The oldest went first, then the young men, the children, the young women, the matrons and the people of the lower orders. The most promlneut object In the parade was a ship propelled by hiddeu machinery aud bear-lug at its masthead the sacred banner of the goddess.

ARE
Popular Ignoranre na to Law In Evcrydar Occurrence* — CnniiicrK'
Mlstakex In #Junk»—The Finding of l)eud Ilodle»—#w.ndu»* Contract**.
It Is an American yjvdllcctlon to believe the outre and freaUteji storied th.nt are based solely on hearsay feuluiony and to reject often the < oniuio;)]dact> matter of fact. A list of the .ehveP/'iil lies that are connnouly believwd would fill ir volume. Only a few of theni aiv Siren below.
How often have you been Intlieted •with the story of the man who was overpaid when cashing a cheek at tli~' bank aud llie cashier telliug hitn that no mistake? would be corrected afier the customer left the window? According to Uiv v.tory, the cashier laid down the uiuu.luft* before the cashier knew the mlstuUv was lu his favor. It makes an excellent y*m, hut .diligent search discloses that It «u»ver |iad any l'ouudation iu fact. .Baui^ have :iu such rule. If a custotw?K Is *;jdeip:iiil or overpaid the mistake will sj>j>cai' wheu the balance Is struck" at the *jid of the day's business, and llie enw will be cheerfully rectified. Hut the majority of the public believe the fictitious story t>f "how the fellow gut tlki
best of the bank" simply because it is a good story aud they like (o believe It.
Probably the most common error on the part of the public Is the belief that when a deail body Is found no one Inn a right to touch or move the remain.* "until tlve coroner comes." There uever was any such law, Is not now ami probably never will be. The »*itl;cen who Is of an iuqnlEluj; turn of mind has a perfect right to examine the dead bodies he runs across iu the coarse of his travels, to move the remalus aud even search the pockets of the deceased, provided, of course, that his motives are honest. That is all that Is necessary.
There Is also a prevalent belief flint a note signed or contract enteml iwtu on Sunday is void and that either party can plead the fact of the sabred day to get out of a bad bargain. This I.s not true. If a nntn enters into a contract or signs a note on Sunday he is legally bound and cau have uo.cWtVns(> that he would not have if the tmusactfou lun) occurred in the middle of the week.
"I had my hack agnlnsr juy own house wheu I struck this man." says the defendant in police court. lie believes that his proximity to his castle gives him more rights than he woultL have if he were in the street. Tills belief has been the cause of much cantankerous litigation, and ,lt has ever resulted In the ruling that a man ha» a right-to defend himself in a reasonable maimer if he is attacked, whatever may be his geographical position., and the Incidental contiguity of his home *'cuts no Ice" iu the case.
The public has great confidence In the magic number three, and wltliont any reasonable basis for the belief. It is commonly believed that If a drowning person sinks for the third time he Is gone for good and all. The facts contradict this. Many persons die iu the first sinking, aud if one has the strength and vitality to rise tn the surface of the water twice it finishes an excellent presumption that he \vi:i be aide to do so again. In an eitdy or Ktpldly moving waters pc^;'e have sunk from sight a hah' iiinc and lived to tell the experience to their grandchildren.
Then there Is the thirt* congestive chill, commonly believed to N» fatal. Most people who die from this cause succumb to the tlrsi or .sec >:ul ati:».e!;.< If a man succeeds lu withering two of them the odds are jn favor of his coming out victor III the third. AI:?iost every community possesses a citizen who boasts the fact that Iv ha* a silver plate In his skull. Surgeoiis asay that very few attempts were ever made at such au opcrntiou, and all of them were failures. There does not exist a man who has a silver plate iu his skull, although many men -honestly believe that thej* are carrying this species of paraphernalia iu their cranhtms. The bone of the skull cannot live and bo healthy iu the presence of ti foreign body. It is said by surgeon* to be a physical Impossibility, but this serves In no way to overcome the common and erroneous belief.
The medical fraternity has another false belief to combat in ctiscs of "shingles." This disease consists of a skin eruption, always following affected nerves and commonly apptttring on the body. It Is a very common belief that If the "shingles" coinpie&ly sup-round the body and strike a meeting point the patient will die instantly. The belief is untrue.—Ksmsas City Tonrnal.
