Near at Hand Winter Hesorte.Borne few years ago, whenever winter

health resorts were mentioned, everyone's mjtid turned at once to places inthe southern states; but that idea itnow obsolete^ At antic City, so wellknown as the greatest of summer sea-shore resorts, baa been for some yearssteadily increasing its winter population,and now claims to be tbe ideal all-tho-year resort. Its position on the south-ern • Jersey const, with its magnificentboard walk, nearly facing the .south,•consequently receiving the full benefitof tbe sun ; the balmy saline air wattedfrom the Gulf Stream, heated by a trop-ical sun;' its fine '-open all-the-year-round" hotels, 'heated throughout withsteam; and with commodious sun par-,lars, protected from the outside air butexposed to the sun's rays; hot soawatorbaths, etc., cannot fail to make good itsclaim. , . .

Cape May, one of the oldest, and,"befo* the wah," the great fashionableresort, has, since the entrance of the op-position road,-now a portion of tbe P. &R. Route, awaketied from its slumberand is rapidly forging to the front. Withthe advantage of being farther south, upto date hotels, equipped with all latestapproved appliances .of steam and elee-trioity.it bids fair to ere long rival itssister city as a winter resort.

Both above cities are on the AtlanticCity Railroad, the Southern New Jerseyportion of tbe Philadelphia & ReadingRoute, and have frequeut fast trains toand-from the Chestnut and Spath Streetferries, Philadelphia.

"Lakewood in the Pines," the wellknown ultra-fashionable winter sanitari-um, -'8 too well known to need description.It is located on theN.J. Southern branchof the Central R. R. of N. J., which,connecting at Winslow Junction withthe Atlantic City R. R., forms a shortand quick route to and' irom Phila andpoints in interior Pa,. Through Pullmanparlor cars during tbe season.

Tickets are sold and baggage checkedthrough to any of above resorts from all•principal stations on the Philadelphia &Reading R^R. and its connections. Forfurther information, apply to any P. $•R. agent, or address Edson J. Weeks,Gen. Pass'r Agt., Philada.

Jonah was an unwilling guest; Jiewanted to Ret out. However much bomay have liked fish, be did not want itthree times a day, and all tbe time ; sohe kept up a fidget and a struggle, anda turning over, and cave the whale notime to assimilate him. The man knewthat if he'was ever' to get out he mustbe in perpetual motion. We know menwho tire so lethargic they would havegiven it up, and laid so quietly that ina few hours they would bave gone intoflukes and ' fish-bones, -. blow-hole audblubber. Now we see men all aroundus who have been swallowed by mon-atrous misfortunes. Some of them sitdown on a piece of- whalebone and giveit up. They say: "No use! I'll neverget back my money or restore my goodname or recover my health.?1 Theyfloat out to .sea, and. never again arebeard of. Others, the moment they godown the.throat of some great trouble,begin to plan for egress. They makerapid estimate of the length of the ver-tebrae, and come to the conclusion bowfar they are in. They dig up'enoughspermaceti out of .the darkness to makea light, and keep turning this way andthat, 'til tbe first thing .yon know theyare out. Determination to get well hasmuch to do with recovered ipvalldism.Firm will to .avert bankruptcy decidesfinancial deliverance. Never surrenderto misfortune or discouragement. Youcan, if you are spry enough, make it asuncomfortable for tbe whale as thewhale can make it uncomfortable foryon. There will be some place whereyou can brace your feet against his rib,and some large .upper tooth aroundwhich you can take bold, and he willsoon be as glad to get rid of you tor atenant as you will be glad to get rid ofhim for a landlord.'

PERCY.

I was at work.We had been furnishing—my wlf«

and I. We thought we had done itcheaply, but a few charming things Inthe bric-a-brac line, added at U>e lastmoment, had so overbalanced our ac-count that" I felt It Imperative to makeop a better check than usual that week«B the daily paper upon which I earnedmy dally bread.

Bo I was hard at work.But my wife had been hard at work,

too. She had been to Pan! Jones' sale-It was "remnant day"—and she had got*. few little things which dear baby nb-•olutely had to have, besides a fewmore quite indispensable trifles f or| her-self—all of them "dirt cheap." She hodbeen forced to confess, however, thatthe week's, housekeeping money hadbeen severely encroached upon, and Iam afraid I was not enthusiastic overthe Jones sale.

In foot I took some credit to myselffor my silence both over the toterrup- shouldn't have Interrupted you whileUen and over the advisability of lihe you -w>re making them!purchases; I did not even endeavorW Afid then wo went together to the•top her when she had quickly gather- tmTnty meal of her frugal ordering, nnded up all her little soft parcels and haddeprived me of her presence.

Instead of chasing the pamlng cloudfrom her eweet eyca—aa I knew how todo—1 had even heaved a sigh of reliefas the door slammed after her. But,there, the hills were hanging over mybead, and 1 had written one para-graph!

So I WUB hard nt worli, nnd withinsight of the end mt last, when a voiceon tlie stairs, shouting, "I know myway," made me swear n gentle oathunder my breath before the door open-ed und out Percy Kalmouth Btood be-fore me.

He was a college friend—one of thoseWho always prevent one froth working,but to whom one Is never able to Baynay.'

I smiled a sickly smile of welcome•nd pushed tlie cigarettes toward him,bat even as I did BO I forgot hlBoffeiiBuIn sudden alarm at his appearance.

His face, that was wont to be frc«h,was sallow and gray, and liln eye, tlmt

his cigarette away as he farmed to hissubject. "And one wouldn't wish thatit should. What man cjyres to see hiswife looklng| a frnmp, >and dowdierthan other women? Anjd it Isn't onlythe clothes; It's the house, and the furniturc, and the servants, and everything. Dlngincss Is out of date. Peo-ple don't cover up their carpets witl iwashing drugget now, or let theirwives go about 'p* linsey-wolsey gown?and duat the knick-knacks, or givetheir friends herring and.mutton chopsfor dinner. Ca ne Be fall plus, and youknow it."

I sighed. Yes, I did know It—more orless.

"If I were to marry on S2.GOO a year,"continued Percy emphatically,"! -shouldbe In debt two months, and my wifennd 1 would have quarreled forever."

Why didn't 1 smile? 1 had been mar-ried more than two months, and,though I had certainly been. In debtmost of the time, my wife and I hadnot quarreled—yet.

But a vision of pouting month andtearTdlmmed blue eyes rose uncomfort-ably before me; instead of smiling itwns I now who sighed.

Perhaps my wife had not broughthome small, soft parcels enough fromJones' sale Instead of—as 1 had meanlysupposed that morning—too many.

"But a man can work," said I, asbravely as I could, drawing my paperstoward me.

"Work!" echoed Percy, bitterly."That's all very well If you've gotbrains. I have no qualifications forearning money, and love in a cottageIsn't good enough nowadays."

Somehow this speech restored m« tomy balance.

He smoked another clgaret, and thentook np hla hat tod I breathed a sighof relief. -

"If a a devil of a mess for a fellow tobe in," he said, gloomily.

"Yes," said I, I'm afraid you'll haveto find a wife who can work on herown account There are a good manyof them about nowadays."

He looked at me doubtfully. "O, Ihate that sort," he said. "A girl withmoney's better, bnt that won't help meJust now."

"So.I supposed," said I. And I lethim ont. 1 had sworn at his entrance,but he had brought me luck.

The words literally flew from mypen when I sat down again; there wassomething spurring me on—there was agoal in sight that 1 knew of.

And when I had put my name to thelast sheet and was free I sought It.

Upstairs in the nursery my wife satbeside the cradle; she had our child inher arms and was lulling him to sleep.Her eyes shone as she looked up at me,her face was fresh, \auiJ-/she was asdainty as any man could wish in aplain, white frock—ready to welcomemo to dinner after my work. As I bentdown to kiss her I said gayly: "I'vemade up a splendid'week, darling; soyou needn't worry about the pur-chases."

And she laughed, saying: "Thereweren't so many after nil, yon Unow.Only a few dollars' worth. But I

I wns sorry that I had not been ahlo toexplain to Percy what it won thatmade it "good enough."—Exchange.

\ DEPARTMENT FOR LITTLEBOYS AND GIRLS.

Something that Will Intercut the Jnrenile Wcmbcro of Every llounehold

—Quaint Action* and Bright Sayincnof Many Cate and Cunuins'Chllcircn,

Boys sometimes think they cnnnolifford to be manly and faithful to thelittle things. A story IB told of a boyof the right stamp, and what came olbis faithfulness.

A few years ago a large drug firmIn New YOt-k City advertised for aboy. Next day the store was throngedwith applicants, among them a queer-looking little fellow, accompanied bja woman, who proved to b« bis aunt.In lieu of faithless parents, by whomhe had been abandoned. Looking atthis waif, the advertiser said: "Cnn'ltake him; places all full. Besides heIs too small."

"I know he Is small," said the -wo-man, "but he Is willing and faithful."

There was twinkling In the boy'seyes which made the merchant thinkagain. A partner In the firm volun-teered to remark that he "did not se«\7hat they wanted with such a boy;lie wasn't bigger than a pint of elder."But, after consideration, the boy wasset to work.

A few days later, a call was made onthe boys in the store for some one tostay all Bight The prompt responsesf the little fellow contrasted with th«reluctance of the others. : In the mid-dle of. the night the merchant lookedIn to see If all was right In the store,and presently discovered this youth-ful protege busy scissoring labels.

"What are you doing?" he said. "1did not tell yon to work nights."

"I know yon did not tell me so, butI thought I might as well be doingsomething." In the morning the cash-ier got orders to "double that boy'swages, for he Is willing."

Only a few weeks elapsed before ashow of wild beasts passed through,the streets; and very naturally allhands In the store rushed td witnessthe spectacle. A thief saw his oppor-tunity, and entered at the rear doorto seize something, but In a twinklingfound himself firmly clutched by thodiminutive clerk aforesaid, and aftera struggle, was captured. Not onlywas a robbery prevented, but valuablearticles taken from other stores wererecovered. When nsked why he stay-ed behind to watch when all other quittheir work, he replied: "You told menever to leave the store when otherswere absent, and I thought I'd stay."

Orders were Immediately given oncemore: "Double that boy's wages; heIs willing and faithful."

To-day that boy Is a member of thefirm.—Presbyterian Banner.

_Bole Accommodation to thippf

The oldest dock In London »Dd tfeefirst th.at was built, In Great Britain tanow known as the Greenland diW& ttIs situated on the south bank-'ff theThames. Until the early part of thepresent century this dock, with a lim-ited length of quays, offered the onlyaccommodations for shipping. Thespace was Inadequate and the river wasoften blocked up with vessels. Themerchants determined to Improve thesituation and the West India dockswere commenced In 1800 and com-pleted five years later. During the.-'same year the London dock, which baabeen commenced In 1802, was opened.The East India docks were commencedIn 1803 and completed three years later.These Increased the water area Inclosedby the docks by 160 acres, but fireyears later the Surrey docks, adjoiningthe Greenland dock on the south sideof the river, with an area Including theGreenland dock of 160 acres, were be-gun ,and In 1815 they were completed.The two systems are now owaed by toeSurrey Commercial Company. TheWest India docks, three In number,were built to accommodate the WestIndia trade. The East India docks atetwo I* number and the five docUs havea wmblned area oM2G acres, with fiveand one-half miles of quays. The Lon-don docks were built In opposition tothose of the India companies.: Thewestern dock has an area of twentyacres. The St Kathertae docks', two ,small basins of ten acres, are the high-est up the river, being Just below the,.,tower. They were opened in 1828,

The Idea that governed during thisearlier period of dock building was thaiIt was better to be as near to the cityas possible, but experience proved It tobe wrong.' The river was crowded-with small craft The London-companydetermined upon the construction of aseries of docks below those of the BastIndia Company. The Victoria dock,with an area of ninety acres, was open-ed In 1835. and the Albert dock, with anarea of eighty-four acres. In 1880, Themain Victoria dock is 3,000 feet longand 1,050 feet wide. The Albert dockis connected with It by a passage eightyfeet wide, and theTwo-together havesix and seven-eighths miles of quays.The. Victoria dock has castlron wharf-Ing, with concrete backing, while thewalls of the Albert dock are built whol-ly of concrete. ''

The Albert dock soon attracted thelarger class of vessels. The Boat andWest India Company met the move byconstructing the Tilbury docks fartherdown the river. There Is a tidal basinof nineteen and one-quarter acres; alock connects this basin with the maladock 1,000 feet long and GOO feet wide.There are three branch docks and Bcoaling dock.

These are the principal docks of Lon-don, , This brief review of their historyshows that the people of London didnot stick at-any expense to maintaintheir commercial supremacy. Thrsftdocks have been built by private com-panies, who did not hesitate to expendmany millions of dollars In their con-struction.—San Francisco Argonaut

Menstruation, the balance wheel ofwoman's life,Ais also the' bane of exist-ence to many because it means a time ofgreat suffering1. •

While no^woman is entirely free fromperiodical pain, it does not seem to havebeen na-ture's plan.that womenotherwisehealthy/should sufferso severely.LydiaE. Pink-ham's Vege-table Com-pound Is •the mostthorough f6'male regula-tor known tomedical sol- • .ence., It-alie ves'the condition, th at pro-duces so much discomfort and robs men-struation of its terrors. Here is proof:

DEAJI MBS. PIKEHAM:—How can 1thank you enough for what you havedo^; «or me ? When I wrote to you Iwas suffering untold pain at time ofmenstruation; was nervous, had head-ache all the time, no appetite, that tiredfeeling, and did not care for anything.I havo taken three bottles of Lydia B.Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound, oneof Blood Purifier, two boxes flf LiverPills, and to-day I am a well person. Iwould like to havo those who sufferknow that I am one of the many whohave been cured of female complaintsby your wonderful medicine and advice.—Miss JENNIE R. MILKS, Leon, Wis.

SATURDAY. DEC. 81, 1898.

A recent Grand Jury in CumberlandCounty was called upon to examine 81bills, of complaints, and after siftingthorn down, returned 36 true bills tothe Court. So disgusted did this jurybecome that they passed a resolutioncensuring the Justices of the Peace forBending'80 mauy trivial caeca to thecounty seat.

Atlantic County has suffered fromthe same cause, and has tried in vainto find a remedy. What is needed is achange in our laws that will allow pettycases to be tried at home. As mattersnow stand, Justices are obliged to hearonly one side ot a case, and with thelimited knowledge thus obtained, andthe inducement of a fee, send umuycases up to the .Grand Jury, entailing^heavy cost on the taxpayers, and indi-"vidual inconvenience. ,' Witnesses aresummoned two and three days beforethe Grand Jury, ,and theu'perbapB notheard. Before the case is ended pur*haps two or three days are spent inattending Court. Some of these peopleare doubtless dependent upon daily toilfor btead, and the loss and expense tothem is a serious hardship Is it anywonder that they prefer' to seal theirlips, and let the speak-easy and otherforms of vice flourish and blight theirtowu' ? Verdicts by ' home juries gen-erally stand, and If appealed the'num-ber would be greatly lessened, and thetrivial cases that. disgust Grand Jurieswould be entirely done away with.• The tax-payer groans under his load

of county tux, and with the witnessesprays for release.

The march of the American marketdoes not always follow the westwardtrend of the star of empire. One hasjust opened in far-off Australia, wherethe Government of Victoria hasawarded contracts to an Americancompany for 35.000 tons of steel railsat 876,000 below English bids. 4J4^this rate it ought not to be. difficult Xo \hold the market once it ia opened.,/ \

Eighty per cent ot life customs dutiescollected at New York this month hasbeen in gold coin. Two years ago nota dollar of this revenue was paid ingold. Confidence in the gold stabilityof the government was what was need-ed, rather tbau statute laws, to bringabout a resumption of gold payments atthe seats of customs.

an BUG" in the courtsfor slacder or criminal libel, why can-not ft, town—an incorporated individnalunder law—do the same? If it can,Ilammonton surely has a good caseagainst some of the city papers, andtheir local correspondents.

Last week there was a trial beforeJustice Pressey which, because ot thelack of any matter of greater interestand the fuct that it was the first case ofthe kind in a long time, called togethermany who had nothing else to do.From this, one of the enterprising (?)scribblers made a great story of intenseexcitement in Hammonton, disorderlyelement terrorizing the inhabitants,secret session of Council with guardeddoors, etc. From this we hear, in Phil-adelphia, a former business man herecongratulating himself on his removalbefore his life and property were en-dangered.

'Now, what was the truth ? Asbrought out by the evidence, twoItalians started from home, at EleventhStreet and Chew Road, in a wagon ; attho Reading Station they took in fourcountrymen who had been gunning;near the Bank they found another, andthese sevea talked and laughed aspeople of that nationality always do,maUing considerable noise, but all good-natured : and proceeded on tbeir waytoward Main Road. Probably somehad been drinking, but they interferedwi Ib no one's rights. As Hammonlonvoted to legalize the sale of rum, peoplemust expect men to drink, and it makesthem rattle-headed—if not worse. Oneof the seven sat in the back ot the wago u,his feet hanging down. Near FourthStreet, a dog came out and attackedthe man. Naturally, he kicked, andfinally drew "out bis gun and shot thedog. From this arose the charge ofdisorderly conduct and shooting on thehighway, which cost the party abouttwenty dollars in fines.

Understand, we do not defend theracket, the drinking, or illegal shoot'ing; but do condemn those who mag-nify the affair into dangerous mob rule,with citizens armed for self protection.

There are disorderly Italians, butthey.rarely disturb any but their ownpeople; and there are disorderlyAmericans also. Now that an attempthas been made to suppress disorder, wehope no partiality will be shown.' We challenge any one to point outa town the size of Hammontou that baahad less disorder during this year thanhas been known here, or fewer lawsuits,or a less number of arrests. It is dis-honorable for any writer to so misrep-resent his own town, give a false im-pression abroad, and thus naturallykeep out people who might make de-sirable additions to our population.

.'" Grapes and tho Appendix.Things have been said about the

baneful and delicious Juice of tbe grapeover since the olden time when Noahfound out about It and came therebyto grief; but even before that men ategrape*, and only within the last decadehave they been talked to about that.It 1: only since surgeons began tomake money hunting for grape seedsIn the vermiform appendix that peo-ple have been afraid to eat grapes,and to cat them straight.

It now appears that In all-,tho thou-sands of eases famous, and possibly Insome cases Infamous, In which thisnew-fashioned surgical operation hasbeen performed, there Is not one caseIn which a grape sect! or any other lit-tle bullet-ahaped thing has been, foundIn tbe vermiform appendix. The wholeInterior of fine appendix la only bigenough to admit a medium-sized darn-Ins needle. Nobody knows what It Isthere for, bnt It must have been usefulat some time. It Is a cast) of the sur-vival of the unfit, like tho wisdomteeth, which are of no llttlo use to moatpeople, and' fine tonsils, which causeso much trouble now and then.

The tonsils and the appendix an* bothunused parts of tiho body, and'peculi-arly liable to disease because they arenot strongtliMiwl by use. If Inflamma-tion attsvcks !:h»m they are unable torflHlst. Thus many diseases which havebeen, ascribed to peritonitis, or colic, ora ruyatorloiifl providence of same kind,have beon duo to the diseased condi-tion of thlM little, ii.iolo.is organ of thehuman nyatrai, and If rlie trouble hadbeen discovered In t.lmo tilm appendix?ould have- been removed, and all wouldhave been we'll.

Tho romody, therefore. Is not In avoid-ing grape sewln, whlffli do not causetlio trouble, but In keeping an well andiia ntpong no poejalble, and In cnse ofH ltd den Illaivo calling a reliable doctor,who will know what tho matter In.

Whut Doctors Think of WeartnB Knb«liois.

Here's the first law of health— Keepyour Jcct dry. We all know it. W0all know that pneumonia .and con-sumption always start with a cold,and that the shortest cut to a cold is apair o£ ,wet feet.. But it's so impor-tant n matter that we can't he-remind-cd too often, especially when tho-re-minder carries the weightof authority.

Dr. Wendell 0. Phillips, one of tbeir.ost distinguished physiciana in NewYork, was recently giving a lecture on "''Colds, and How to Prevent Them."It was a rainy night, and he began;

"How many persons hero wore rub-bers to-night? Hands np.

"Not half of yon. Now, that iswhat I thought. Every one of yonshould have, rubbers on a night likothis. To go without them is to invitecolds, bronchial' trouble, catarrh nndpneumonia. It is astonishing howpeoplo neglect their feet. Rubbersarc fifty cents. , You can saye a lot ofmoney on tho investment—perhaps aten-days' doctor bill, to soy notbiagotmedicine."

The doctor might have made it stillRhonger and said that a fifty-cent pairof rubbers would not only save doctor,bills and medicine bills, bat often lifeitself. Don't try to save on rubbers;it's the most expensive economy intho world, especially just now wheneverybody is gottiug tho grip.

' fey long and bitter experience things- thatV9 ought to bnvebeen told before we weretwenty-five years of Age. Now I propose'to tell you some things whioh, It you willMriouly and prayerfully observe, will»Qftk« yon master of the situation In vrnlohyon w» now placed and master of everyiitnatjon in/whloh you ever will be pleoed.And In order that my subjeot mar be oli-maoterlo, begin on tho outside edge ol that•dvlce, which will be more and more Im-portant AS ttie'snbjoot unfolds.

'How, if yon would be master of the situa-tion, do not expend money before yon getIt. How many young men' irretrievablymortgage their fnture because ot resonrceatnat aze quite sure to be their?. Have themoney either in your hand, or in a safetydepoait, or In a bank, or in a United Statesbond before you makepurohnses, or go intoexpensive enterprises, or hltoh a' spanking

• ttam to » Rlittering turnout, or contractfor the balldlng ot a mansion on the Polo-man or the Hudson. Do not deoend cnanJnherltanoe from your tather or uncle. The.old man may live on a good deal longotthan yon expect, and tbe day ot your en-forced payment may come before the da?of his decease. You cannot depend uponrheumatism or heart failure or senility todo its work. Longevity Is so wonderfullyimproved that yon cannot depend upoupeople dying when yon think they oughtto. They live to be septuagenarians, ot

• ,cotog«narlau8, or nonageunrlans, or evenCentenarians, and meanwhile their heln|

ho into bankruptcy, or, tempted tqforgery, or misappropriation ot trustfunds, or watering of railroad or miningstoak, go into tbe penitentiary. Neitherbad yon better spread yourself out becauseOf the fifteen or twenty per cent, you ex-pect from an Investment, Most ot the fif-teen or twenty per cent. Investments areapt to pay nothing save tho privilege of be-ing assessed to meet the obligations of tho

"company in tbe affairs of which yon getinvolved. , Better get 3)£ per cent, from agovernment bond than be promised fifteenper cent, from a dividend which will neverbe declared, or paid only once or twice, soai to tempt you deeper In before the grandamain up, and YOU receive, instead of apayment of dividends, a tetter from tbepresident and secretary, ot tho companysaving that they are very sorry.

Do not say you Jiaveno chance, bnt re-member I«aao Newton, tbe greatestastronomer ot his day, once peddling cab-bages in tbe street, and Martin LutheiSinging on the' public square for anypennies that ho. might pick up, and Johnfionyan mending kettles, and tho latoJudge Bradley, ot the United StatesSupreme Court, who was tbe son ot aflharoonl burner, and Tumor, tho painter,Wbo was tho son of a barber, and LordOlive, wuo lavtd India to England, shippedby bin father to Uudraa 09 a useless boywhom ho wanted to gut rid of, andFrldoaux, tho world roiiownml scholar andtheologian, scouring pots and paiin to workhis way through college, aud thu mother olthe late William E.

_„„,-. . . •y-.the-;Ietter>eek, or two weeks It nT.ua be, and tbea

destroy It. Iu Ood's name destroy it. Ilike what Abraham Lincoln Bald to onu o(his cabinet olflcerB. That cabinet ofllceihad been belied nnd misrepresented untilin a fury he wrote n letter ot arraignmentto his enemy, and in tersest possible phrase-ology told him what he thought 'of him.The cabinet officer rend it to Mr. Lincolnand asked him how he liked it. Mr. Lin-coln replied: "It is splendid for sarcasm

.and scorn. Inev«r beard anything mor'oomolete In tbat direction. But do youthink von can afford to send it?" Thatcnlm and wise and Christian interrogationof tbe president stopped tbe letter, and itwas never sent. Young man. before youget fnr on In life unless you are an excep-tion among men, yoq will be wronged, yonwill bo misinterpreted, you will be out-rnged. All your sense of justice will be inconflagration. Let me know bow youmeet that first great offense, and I will tellyou whether your life is to be a triumph ora failure. You see, equipoise at snob atime means so many things. It meansself control. It means a capnolty to fore-see results. It means a confidence In yourown integrity. It means a faith |n theLord Ood that He will see you through.

Again, if yon would be master of theslt-atlon put the best Interpretation on thecharacter and behavior ot others. Do notbe looking for hypocrites in churches, orthieving among domestic servants, orswindlers among bnsiness men, or mal-feasance in office. Thure is much In life tomaku men suspicious of others, and whenthat characteristic ot suspicion becomesdominant a man has secured his own nn-happlness, and he hns become an offencein all circles, religious, commercial andpolitical. The man who moves for a com-mittee of investigation Is generally a moralderelict. The man who goes with his nos-trils Inflated trying to discover somethingmalodorus is not a man, but a sleuth-hound! The world IB full ot more people,generous people, people wbp.are doing-their best—good husbands, ^od-wives,good fathers, good mothers;-'good offi-cers of the law; good judges, good gov-ernors, good State and national legisla-tors, good rulers. Does some man growlout, "That has not been my experience,and I think jnst tte opposite." 'Well, mybrother, I am sorry for your afflictive cir-cumstances, and that you had an unfor-tunate ancestry, and that you have keptsnob bad company and bad such discour-aging environment. I notice that after aman haa been making a violent tiradeagainst his fellow men he is on his waydown, and if he live long enough he will beasking you tor a quarter of a dollar to gota drink or a night's lodging. Behave your-pelf well, ob, youne man. and you will findlife a pleasant thing to live and the worldHull of friends and God's benediction every-where about you.

Again, It von would be master ot the situ-ation, expect nothing from good Inck, orhaphazard, or pramlng adventures. In thisftlme, when it is estimated tbat gamblinglozahuuu>3jnoafiy. to tha amount ot 680.-(000,000 ~a day, this remark may be useful.iThere come times in many a man's lite{when ho hopes to get something for whichho does not give an equivalent, and thereare fifty kinds of gambling. Stand alooffrom all of them. Understand that thegambling spirit Is a disease, and the moresuccessful you are the more certain youare to go right onto yonr own ruin. Hav-ing made his thousands, why doea not thegambler stop and make a Bate Investmentot what he has gained and epend the restot his life In quiet or less hazardous styleof-pfecu nation? Tbe reason Is he cannotstop. Nothing but death over cures a con-

/flrmed gambler.Dr. Eeeloy's gold cure rescues tbe

drunkard, and there are antltobaoeopreparations that will arrest the victim ofnicotine, and religion can save anyone ex-cept a gambler. The fact Is he is irrespon-sible. Having got the hnblb in him he Isno more responsible for keeping on than aman falling from the root -of a four-storyhouse con etop at .the window ot the sec-ond story. Hero and there you may findon Instance where a gambler haa been re-ported or reports himself as bolng con-verted, bnt In that case the man was notfully npdor the heal of tha passion. Thereal gambler is a through passenger todeath and perdition. Tho only use In re-ferring to him Is in the way of preven-tion. n« began by taking onanofs on nbookcase or o sewing machine at achurch fair and nudod by getting a fewpennies for his last valuable in n pawn-broker's slioD. Thu only man who gam-bles successfully la tlio man who losesso fearfully at the start that he is dis-gusted and quits. Let him win at thostart and win again, aud it moans faro-well to homo and heaven. Most mcrol-lesa ot all baliltnl Horace Walpole saysthat a man dropped down nt the doorot n clubhouse In London and waa car-ried In, and tho giunblo.ru began to betwhether ho was dead or not, ami whenIt was proposed to bleed him tor hla ro-oovory thu gamblers objected that Itwould affect tho fairness ol the bet.What noble m«u tuny must have been!But more and more ladlos <aro becominggamblers.

In the beginning v.-as the Word (1).In the beginning God created theheaven and the earth (Gen. 1 : 1).

That which was from the be'-slrming(1 John 1 : 1).

2. Who He Was :The Word was God (1).

On an equality with God (Phil. 2 : <"•).The very Image of his substance (.Heb.

1:3).

3. What He Did :All things were made by him (3).

<5).Unto you—shall the sun of righteous-

ness arise (Mai. 4 : 2 ) .I am the light of the world (John S :

12).

ness' of the light (8).John beareth witness of him (John 1 :

15).John — hath borne witness unto the

truth (John 6 : 33).

4. Enduring Obscurity :The world knew him not (10).

One whom ye know not (John 1 : 25).If thou knewest—who it is (John -t :

10). .

Air breeds of cattli or rather'stocfchave been kept close to certain pointsand characteristics in order to rendej-heredltary the merits and peculiarities:sought, and, each breed haa been bredsubject to certain conditions that areessential to its success. If an abun-dance of food Is required for,zfilmaj£at any particular breed it must-be sup-plied, as they have been bred in thailine: but they compensate therefore, be-caxise any animal that is bred to de-mand heavy rations has also been brc<J;as a producer to correspond with, its:consumption of food.

At this season of the year the valueof ensilage is plainly seen. Being JU!CK,it is appreciated by cattle and la r&-llshed because it varies the food. Satanclaim that good corn fodder Is fulljrequal to ensilage, but thoae who ha.vc^silos claim that while cattle reject com-'stales they leave but little o£ the en-silage as refuse. The quality of en-silage has something to do with Itoacceptance by stock, for. which rca--son It should be cut at the properstage of growth and put in the sitewith care and with the object of havingit come out of the silo in good condi-tion in winter.

While farmers are seeking the new;and rich lands of the West they aceoverlooking the possibilities of farming:In the East. Even the best lands <S2the West will deteriorate In fertitttffIf cultivated as Is done on. some .faruaiIn the East. While the greatprodueing States grow more cornNew England, yet Massachusettsages more corn per acre cultivatesthan any other State. MountalmsnatVermont excels in average producttos.'of hay per acre, Maine leads in produc-tion of potatoes per' cultivated acravand more tobacco' ia grown on anacre In Massachusetts than in Kas-tucky.

When the land is covered with som*kind of crop, to avoid nakedness «£the surface, there is less loss of waten(/'because much of it goes down instep.of flowing away. When the landrl*covered with clover there is a sa.-vtegof moisture, as the roots of the cloverpenetrate to the sub-soil a,nd loosaeit. It is seldom that water stands <MS ,a clover field. By avoiding the flowof water from the surface there is Jasrloss of available plant food. , ...... :

It is the storm-beaten fodder that-tsleft uneaten, and it is the loss of thfefodder that compels the farmer to f«<Shis hay. The loss of corn fodder is s,'waste of a portion of the corn erc$-As the fodder, when properly preserves,is nearly equal in value to the graJn,no farmer can afford to allow his fol-der to be w.asted

Good' results have beert obtiurafiby plowing the land, following wttfc msub-soil plow, and then running a rot-lev over the land. Land so trea<te<tstands the drought better than it *aec.when simply plowed and not rotfcS.for the reason thot when the sofl. tehard a large quantity of water fiotreioff. If plowed and rolled the soil la ftrttloosened and then compacted, absortites'moisture like a sponge nnd hoWtegit. During periods of drought, themoisture stored In the lower soU -labrought to the surface by capillaryattraction. If the soil is drained ttwwarm air enters, and the land receives;more moisture from the rains ofmer.

The feeding of salt to dairyshould be done regularly and notoccasionally. -It may be given as a.seasoning to the ground grain or j>lae»Qwhere they can have access to It. Co-wohave been known to fall off one-tentfeIn flow of milk when deprived of uML.There are some yh£ do not believe tethe use of salt/by allowing stock tohelp themselves; but It Is beneficial t»season their food with it, which mafasK.the food more palatable nnd betterrelished.

The rnnimcToment of a rrardennot necensarlly cnusi? necleet ofcrops on the farm. No work t'ay» tatwell as that given the garden. o» .alarger amount of produce, one! of v-irt-OUH klndn. can be wecured from aden than from the cultivation of a lcrca. Every farmer who gives adcn bin attention usually Is morefill of bin other crops. Every poof the farm IH kept clean andMn acondition.

The time to form an' opinion of «,farmer and hit) methods Is In ine witt-ier. If he given the manure heap mu<%attention It IH a sure Indication that fedIn progressive and keeptr.hln land v,v'isupplied with plant food. He niav liecareful of his ntock and have his faratattractive In many roopeebi, but If twncglectH the care and preBervation «fthe manure he will bo lacking in ptopwKnowledge of deriving the mont protfifrom farming.

Near at Hand Winter, Beaorts.Borao fow years ago, whenever winter

health resorts mere mentioned, everyone's mibd turned at once to places iathe Bouthcra states; but that- idea i»now obaolote. At antio City, ao •wellknown as the greatest of summer fioa-shore resorts, has been tor some yeftrtsteadily increasing its winter population,and now claims to be the ideal all-thoyear resort. Its position on tho south-ern Jersey coast, with its magnificentboard -walk, nearly facing the south,consequently receiving the full benefitof. the sun ; the balmy saline air wattedfrom the G ulf Stream, heated by a trop-ical sun; its fine "open all-the-year-round" hotels, heated throughout withsteam, and with commodious sun par-lars, protected from the outside air bubexposed to the sun's rays; hot seawatetbaths, etc., cannot fail to make good itsclaim.

Cape May, one of tho oldest, and,"bofo' the wah," the great .fashionableresort, has, since the entrance of the op-position road, now. a portion of the P. &R. Route, awakened from its slumberand is rapidly forging to the front. Withthe advantage of being farther south, upto date hotels, equipped with all latestapproved appliances of steam and elec-tricity, it bids fair to ere long rival itssister city as a winter resort.

Both above cities are on the AtlanticCity Railroad, the Southern New Jerseyportion of the Philadelphia & ReadingRoute, and have frequent fast trains toand from tho Chestnut and South Streetferries, Philadelphia.

"Lakewood in the Pines," the wellknown ultra-fashionable .winter sanitari-um, ;s too well known to need description.It is located on tbe N. J. Southern branchof the Central R. R. of N. J., which,connecting at'"Winslow Junction withthe Atlantic City R. B., forms a shortand quick route to and from Phila andpoints in interior Pa. ThroughJEnUmaaparlor cars daring tbe season. ^"Su1

Tickets are sold and baggage checked1

tfirough to any of above resorts from allprincipal stations on the Philadelphia &Reading R. R, and its connections). Forfurther information, apply to any P. §•R. agent, or address Edson J. Weeks,Gen. Pass'r Agt., Philada.
