SWEETEST THINGS ON EARTH.
KMM.V I.. nnvu.
What arr the sweetest things on earth!
Lips tlmt can praHe a rival s worth;
A frattrara rose that hides a thorn:
Richest of ictSld untouched by scorn :
A happy little child asleep;
Eyes which can Miiilc, though they may
w ecu;
A brothers clteer. father's praise;
The minstrelsy of summer days;
A heart where never anger burns!
A irift that looks for no returns
Wrongs overthrow; pain’s swift release;
Dark footsteps guided into peace;
The light of love in lover s eyes;
Age that is young as well ns wise;
An honest li’Aml that need no ward;
A life with right in true accord ;
A hope hud waxing into joy ;
A hapnim■■■•• without alloy .
A mother'll kiss, a baby's mirth--
Those arc the sweetest thing - of earth.

The Road to Wealth is Open.
Ambrose Hieree in Chicago American.
This la not a country of equal for
tune*!, outside a Socialist's dream no
Hitch country exists or can exist. Hut
nearly as is possible this is n country
of equal opportunities tor those who
begin lilo with no tiling but nature’s
endowments—and of such is the king
dom of success.
Jn nine instances in ten successful
Americans—that is, Americans who
linvo succeeded in any worthy ambi
tion or legitimate Meld of endeavor—
have started with uothing hut the skin
they stood in. It may also he said,
indeed, that to begin with nothing Is
a main condition of success—in Amer
ica.
To a young man there is no such
hopeless impediment as wealth or the
expectation of wealth. Here a man
and there nnotber will rise, so abun
dantly endowed by nature as to over
come the handicap of artificial advan
tages, hut that is not the general
rule; usually the chap “horn with a
spoon In his mouth" puts in his time
•ticking that spoon and without other
employment. Counting possession of
the spoon success, why should lie be
stir himself to achieve what lie lius
already.
The real curled darling of opportu-
Ity is the youtli born with nothing in
Ids mouth but his teeth—lie who
knowH,or is likoly to know, what it Is
to feel ills belly sticking to his back.
II he have brains a-plenty he will
gel on, for ho must he up aud doing;
the penalty for indulgence is famine.
If he have not, he may he up and do
to the uttormost of Ids mind and
heart, hut the end of that man is
failure, with possible Socialism, that
last resort of conscious Incompe
tence.
It fatigues, tlds talk of the narrow -
ing opportunities of to>dny, “the
dosed avenues to aucccss" und tho
rest of it. Doubtless it serves its
purpose of making 'mischief for the
tyrant trusts and the wicked rich gen
erally, hut in u six months’ hound
volume ol It there is not enough truth
to float a religion.
Mou of brains never had a better
chaiice than now to accomplish all
that Is desirable thut thoy should ac
complish, and men of no brains never
did have much of a chance nor under
any possible conditions can have in
this country or any other. They are
nature's failures, God’s botch work.
Let us he sorry for them, treating
them justly and generously; but the
Socialism that would level us all down
to their plain of achievement and re
ward is a proposal of which they are
themselves the proponents.
Opportunity, indeed! Who is
holding me from composing a great
opora that would make mo rich and
famous?
What oppressive laws forbade me
to work my passage up the Yukon as

What is there In our Industrial sys

to the proprietor of this newspaper
that he cau afford to pay me $25,000
a year, lie is just languishing, good
man, to give it to me: I have only to
show him that my services are worth
it. What prevents me from ranking
the proof? And wit at prevents you,
most excellent cobblers, from beating
me out of the Meld by writing like an
angel with a rood?
The number of actual aud possible
sources of profit aud methods of dis
tinction is infinite. Not all the trusts
in the world iu one trust of trusts !
could appreciably reduce it—could !
condemn to permanent failure one
man with the talent and the will to |
succeed.
They can abolish that doubtful
benefactor, the “small dealer," who
lives by charging too much, and that
very thickly disguised blessing, the
“drummer," whom they have to add
to the price of everything they sell;
but for every opportunity they close
they open a new one and leave un
touched a thousand actual and a mil
lion possible ones.
Does Your
Baking: Powder
Contain
Alum ?
Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M.D., University of
Penn.: “All the constituents of alum remain
(from alum baking powders) in the bread, and
the alum itself is reproduced to all intents and
purposes when the bread is dissolved by the
gastric juice in the process of digestion. I re
gard the use of alum f.s highly injurious.”
Dr. Alonzo Clark: “A substance (alum)
which can derange the stomach should not be
tolerated in baking powder.”
Prof VV. G. Tucker, New York State
Chemist: “I believe it (alum) to he decidedly
injurious when used as a constituent of food
articles.”
Prof. S. W. Johnson, Yaie College: “I
regard their (alum and soluble alumina salts)
introduction into baking powders as most dan
gerous to health.”
In view of such testimony as this,
every care must be exercised by
the housewife to exclude the over
and over condemned cheap, alum
baking powders from the food.
Baking powders made from cream of tartar, which
is highly refined grape acid,are promutive of health,
and more efficient. No ot her kind should be used
in leaveni g food. Royal Baking Powder is the
highest example of a pure cream of tartar powder.

Had to See It,
Youth’s Coin panion.
Au eccentric clergyman in Corn
wall WR8 ranch annoyed by the habit
which some members of his congrega
tion had of looking around to see late
comers. After enduring it for Borne
time he said on entering the reading
desk one day:
“Brethren, I regret to see that
your attention is called away from
religious duties by your natural de
sire to see what comes iu behind you.
I propose henceforth, to save you the
trouble by namiug each person who
comes in lute."
He then begau: “Dearly beloved,”
but paused half way to interpolate,
“Mr. S., with bis wife and daughter.”
Mr. S. looked greatly surprised,
but the miuister with perfect gravity,
resumed. Presently he again paused:
“Mr. C. and William D.”
The abashed congregation kept
their eyes fixed on their books. The
service passed in the most orderly
manner, the parson interrupting him-
“The old Irishman and bis wife
were both arrested, and I appeared
for the defense. The ugly feature of
the case was the alleged effort of the
woman to lure her caller into a trap,
but when put on the stand she de
nied the landlord’s story in toto, and
swore point blank that she bad warn
ed him that her husband proposed to
punoh his head. Both parties seemed
perfectly sincere in their statements,
and I was somewhat puzzled. I fin
ally decided to cross-examine the ex-
professor. ‘Now, repeat to us,’ I said
‘exactly what Mrs. Callahan told you
In regard to her husband.’ ‘She as
sured me positively,’ replied the land
lord, ‘that be bad no intention what
ever of molesting me.’ ‘But she
didn’t Bay it in those words,’ I in
sisted?’ ‘What I want is her exact
language.’ ‘Well, sir,’ said the wit
ness, beginning to get flustered, ‘she
gave me to understand—.’ ‘Oh, nev
er mind that,’ interrupted the Judge,
‘give us her own words.’ ‘Very well,
sir! Very well, sir I’ exclaimed the
little landlord, desperately. ‘She said:
‘When Mike comes home he won’t
do a thing to you?’ When the Judge
got through laughing he let the pris
oners off with a reprimand.”

No Wit in the Greatest Sneeches.
Haiurday Evenir.„ I
In an article on public speaking,
United States Senator Albert J.
Beveridge says:
“It is a remarkable thing that there
is neither wit nor humor in any of
the immortal speeches that have
fallen from the lips of man. To find
a joke in Webster would be an offense.
The oniy things which Ingersoll wrote
that will live are his oration at his
brother’s grave and his famous, “The
Past Rises Before Me Like a Dream.”
But in neither of these productions of
this genius of jesters is there a single
trace of wit. There is not a funny
sally in all Burke’s speeches. Lin
coln’s Gettysburg address, his first
and second inaugurals, his speech be
ginning the Douglas campaign and
his Cooper Union address in New
York are, perhaps/ the only utteran
ces of his that will endure. Yet this
greatest of story-tellers since zDsop
did not adorn or deface one of those
great deliverances with story or any
form of humor. 1
“The reason for this is found in the
whole tendency of human thought
aud feeling—in the whole melancholy
history of the race—where tears and
grief, the hard seriousness of life and
the terrible and speedy certainty of
our common fate of sufferiug and of
death, make sombre the master-cord
of existence. The immortal tilings
are all serious—even sad.”
To the Deaf.
A rich lady cured of her deafness
and noises in the head by Dr. Nichol
son’s Artificial Ear Drums, gave $10,-

ple unable to procure the Ear Drums
may have them free. Address No.

“Yes, sir,” said Farmer Corntossel,
“if there’s anything I do like an’ ad
mire, it’s an honest man. An’ that’s
why I’m so proud of our new neigh
bor down the road a piece. Ef there
ever was an honest man he’s one.”
“Are you sure he’s honest?”
“Certainly; one of those frank,
generous kind.”
“How do you know?”
“Traded horses with him day be
fore yesterday, an’ I reckon I got at
least $00 the best of him.”
K. “The fortune teller told me that
some powerful influence wub standing
between me and bucccss in life.”
“Do you suspect any one?”
“I can’t decide whether it is our
baby or the cook.”
