Suppose you borrow. There Is
wrong about borrowing money. There Is
liardlvft man who has not sometimes bor-
rowed money. Vast estates have been built
on a borrowed dollar. But there lire two
klnds ofdiorrowod money, money borrowed
for the purpose of stinting or keeping up
legitimate enterprise anil expense and
money borrowed to got that which you can
do without. Tim first Is right, the other Is
wrong. If you have money enough of your
own to buy a coat, however plain, and then
you borrow money for a dandy’s outfit, wheel you
have taken the first revolution of the
down grade. Borrow for necessities; that
may be well. Borrow fertile luxuries; that
tips your prospects over In the wrong di-
r’actfou.
The Bible distinctly says the borrower Is
servant of the lender. H is n had statu of
tilings when you have to go down some
other street to escape meeting someone
Whom you owe. If young men knew wbnt
Is the despotism of being in debt, more of
them would keep out'of It. Wliat did debt
do for Lord Bacon, with n mind towering
above the centuries'/ It induced him to
take bribes and convict himself ns a crlm-
Inal before all ages. What did debt do for
Walter Scott, broken hearted at Abbots-
fordf Kept him writing until Ills hand
gave out la paralysis pictures to keep statuary, the sheriff Bet-
away from Ills and
ter for him If he had minded the maxim
which he had chiseled over the fireplace at
Abbotsford, "Waste not. want not.”
l lie trouble Is, my friends, that ......pie do
not understand the ethics of going in debt,
and that If you purchase goods with no ex-
pectatlou of paying fur them, or go Into
debts which you cannot meet, you steal
just so much money. If I go into a grocer’s
store and I buy sugars and coffees and
meats with no capacity to pay for them, 1
and no Intention of paying for them, am
more dishonest than If I go Into the store,
and when the grocer’s face is turned the
other way I Mil my pockets with the mil-
elos of merchandise and carry off a hum.
Ju tiro one case 1 take the merchant's time,
nml I th<*. tinui of mesBeiitfcr to
transfer the goods to my house, while of the hi
the other ease I take none of the Unie
merehant, the and goods 1 wait without upon myself, trouble am) I
transfer nuy to
him. In other words, a sneak thief is not
so bud ns a man who contracts debts lie
never expects to pay.

who move every May day to get into pros-
unity to other grocers and uiuutshops and
apothecaries. They they ow« everybody live,and within

Meanwhile you, the honest faintly in the
new house, are bothered day by day by the
kuoaklng at the door of disappointed bakers
and butchers and dry goods dealers and
newspaper carriers, and you are asked
where your predecessor is. Vou do not
kiiow. it was arranged you should not
know. Meanwhile your predecessor lias

the people their who have anything stopped to there sell Have

Now our young men are coming up in
this depraved state of commercial ethics,
ami 1 nin solicitous about them. 1 want to
warn them against being slaughtered on
the sharp edges of debt. You want many
things you have not. my young friends,
V ou shall have them If you have patience
ana honesty and Industry. Certain lines of
conduct always lead out to certain successes,
1 here Is a law which controls even those
thhigs that seem haphazard. I have been

Ido to calculate Just how many letters will

far as possible keep out of It!
Hut I think more young n\p n are
slaughtered man's through religion Irrellglon. and Tike away
a young you make
him the prey of evil, We all know that
the Bible is the only perfect system of
morals. Now, If you want to destroy a
young man’s fnorals, take his Bible awav.
Ifow will you do that? Well, you will cari¬
cature Ills reverence for the Scriptures,
you will take all those Incidents of the
Bible which can be made mirth of -Jonah’s
whale, Sampson's foxes, Adam’s rib. Then
you will caricature eccentric Christians or
Inconsistent Christians. Then you will
pass off hh your own all those hackneyed
arguments against Christianity old which are
as old as Tom Paine, as as Voltaire,
as old as sin. Now you have captured his
Bible, and you have taken his strongest
fortress, Tlie way is comparatively clear,
and all the gates of his soul are set open
In Invitation to the sins of earth anil the
sorrows of death, that they may come In
and drive the stake for their encampment.
A steamer 1500 miles from shore with
broken rudder and lost compass, and hulk
leaking llfty gallons the hour, have Is better off
than a young Lis man when you robbed
him of Bible. Have you ever noticed
how despicably Bible without mean It proposlngasubstl- Is to take away the

man ami steal his medicine, meaner than
to come to a cripple and steal Ills crutch steal
meaner than to come to a pauper and
his crust, meaner than to come to it poor
man and burn Ids house down. It is the
worst of all larcenies to steal the Bible
which has been crutch and medicine and
food and elornal home to so many. What
a generous and magnanimous business in¬
fidelity has gone into -this splitting up of
lifeboats mid taking away of lire escapes
and extinguishing of lighthouses! people, I come

you doing all this for?” ”OU,” they say

It Is such fun to tell them there will lie no

to heal the wounds of the world, and it Is
such fun to tell them they will have to be

he said this to watch his companion, long "Now, I I and wont then to

They Are YVovth From S'lO to *40 on
the Klondike.
Cattlemen are buying horses for from $2
to -£5 east of the Cascade Mountains in
Washington and selling them packing"pur¬ readily for
from i?20 to $40 for Klondike
poses. The horses will bo uaad to pack
supplies over the mountain passes, and
when they oan be used no longer (or pack¬
ing purposes they will be driven to Dawson
City and sold for dog meat at ten cents per
pound. For several horses have been
years a
drug on tho market. Thousands of head
have been bought at from $1 to $2.50 apiece
and slaughtered and canned. This meat
has sold freely in Japan and Europe, but on
the Pfto|flo coast canned horse is not already sal¬
able. Several cattlemen have
cleared largo sums ou tlio sale of horses for
the Klondike country. Tho Indian tribes
of tho coast ranges have also realized
handsomely on the demand for good pack
ponies.
JAPAN IS HARD UP.
Treasury Said to lie Seriously Embar¬
rassed For Keudy Money.
Tho Japanese Government is seriously
embarrassed financially owing to the rapid
pace at which tho nation has been going
since the war with China.
Civilization has necessitated increased
expenditures In every direction, particu¬
larly in building railroads, telegraph lines,
new Government buildings, improving
harbors and strengthening the army and
navy. * not directly benefited
The treasury was

to tho increased expenditures Government’s during the
past year all tlie reserve
funds are exhausted.
There is great need of raiu in Korea, and
the Governor has sent priests to the moun¬
tains to petition the gods for showers. It
is certain large importations grain will
bo necessary.
A WARNING TO THE COLD SEEKERS.
Hardships Sur© and Starvation For Many

Crowing Spiders for Market.
Utilizing the good gifts of nature is
an excellent thing when properly will con¬
ducted, but very few people which ap¬
preciate that form of utilization
is described in a bulletin of the Divi¬
sion of Entomology. According to
this account there is carried on in a
small village in France and also in a
small place near Philadelphia the
unique industry of growing spiders for
market. These creatures are raised
with a view to stocking the cellars of
wine merchants, in order that they
may weave cobwebs over the wine
bottles. These spiders are sold at the
rate of ten dollars per hundred, and
the people engaged in this industry
are doing a flourishing business. The
value of a cobweb-covered bottle is
likely to be sadly diminished as soon
as the facts about this new branch of
trade becomes known.
SUFFERING WOMEN.
How Many of Them Have Quietly
Obtained Advice That Made
Them Well.
My sister, if you find that in spite of
following- faithfully your family doc¬
tor’s advice, you are not getting well,
why do you not try another course ?
Many and many a woman has quietly
written to Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn,
Mass., stating her symptoms plainly
and clearly, and taken her advice, which
was promptly received. The follow¬
ing letter is a
pretty strong
confirmation of
\m?r our claims:
' “ I had been
'i sick for six
g months;
W^/ / TsaTJ one doctor
7| told me I
jl would have
'•ff; to go to a
“ I \ hospital
'
K \ before I
would get well. I had female troubles
in tlieir worst form, suffered untold
agonies every month ; my womb tipped
back to my backbone, had headache,
hysteria, fainting spells, itching, leu-
corrhcea..
“My feet and hands were cold all
the time, my limbs were so weak that
I could hardly walk around the house;
was troubled with numb spells. I
have taken four bottles of Lydia E.
Plnkham’s Vegetable Compound, one
bottle of her Blood Purifier, one pack¬
age of her Sanative Wash, and am
entirely cured. I have not had one
of those numb spells since. Can you
wonder that I sing the praises of a
medicine that has cured me of all these
ills ?”—Mbs. Louisa Place, 650 Bel¬
mont St., Brockton, Mass.
