Nothing sinks a young man into low
company, both of men and women, so
surely as timidity and diffidence of him

most certain that he will.

Near Salt Lake City In Utah is a salt
mountain, to which, if a short railroad Is
run.the whole country might well look for
a supply of salt. The abundance of this
indispensable necessary of life In this coun
try is perhaps one reason why the English
and American capitalists have abandoned
their purpose to create a corner in It.
After all that has been said by the re
publican platform by Mr Harrison in his
campaign speeches and letter of acceptance
and by all the organs and speakers of the
paitv against the "pet banks," and the pol
icy of so disposing of the surplus revenues
it is surprising to learn from the July debt
statement that the government deposits lnf
the said pet banks was increased during
the month from $47,432,337 ' $48'93o,
764, or by about $1,500,000.
An original deed of Manhattan Island,

may be understood when It is computed
that the $34 if let out at seven per centi
and the interest computed every six
months, would double in a little less than
ten years. Calling it just ten years, the
$14 doubling twenty-six times would now
make the enormous sum of $805,366,368,
HOUELY PHILOSOPHY.
Fretting cures no evil, but it sometimes
relieves the monotony of too much happiness.
It Is advisable to put our heart into
whatever work we may have to perform.
but It is wise to think well before we put
our money in.
When a person becomes too, good to
overlook the fault of the unfortunate, then
it Is that he make the error which loses
to him the glory of his goodness.
Delusions are the natural consequences
of Ignorance. A lack of knowledge of a
thing necessitates the invention of a theory
to account foi its being.
The chronically unhappy mait,who per
sists in trying to sour humanity ,should get
him to his closet with his woes, and give
the sunshine a chance to warm his neigh
bors. A man with a red nose Is always sus
pected of men. He may also be wronged
of men, far it may be that he Is, instead of
a heavy drinker, a sufferer fiom some
painful malady.
When you see a person trying to play
the fool, and you hear it remarked of him
t.-.at he is a fool, you may take it as an
evidence that he was created for the part
One strong, well directed blow sends the
nail truer to Its home than do a dozen
coaxing taps. One fit and earnest word
carries more weight than does a whole
yard of high flown eloquence.
The trouble with people nowadays is
they give much a'.tcntlon to the exterior,to
the detriment of the interior. They think
more of the sack than they do of the grain.
The consequence Is there Is much poor
grain parading in fine sacks.
When tossed on the angry waves of a
ea of trouble a good motto is "Never give
up the ship." But when the ship mani
fests a tendency to sink, It is a wise move
to swim out and not go down with the
wreck.
"Never a rose without a thorn" Is an
axiom possessing much truth. It fallows,
then, that the thorns were created for the
purpose of protecting the treasures of the
bush. So do we often find In he man life
that beauties of the heart and mind are pre
served by the thorns of unshapely bodies,
iinbeaptlful faces or lack of wealth.
TAKE THE SfcWSI'Al'ER.
The Albany New York Jtnrml,o'. recent date
contained the following: A workman in lhis
city who was complaining of hard times recen-
ly was asked bow he could afford to take a
daily paper. "Well," said he,"I hope I shall
never be too poor to take a paper. I thought
I was too poor for ten years after I wss married.
My wife suggested that I take a paper regular
ly and I did so, and it was the most econom
ical stroke of my life, It kept me home even
ings, afforded me pleasure and instruction and
was a comfort :o the whole family. I had to
stop the use of tobacco for a whole year once
in order to pay for the paper and the result was
that I have not cared for tobacco since, and in
that one item I have saved money enough to'
pay for several daily papers. So long as 1 1
have money enough to buy bread with I will '
have money enough to pay for my newspaper."
