. Is there any ' joy greater than
.that which is experienced by. one
person when be -helps another?
* * * * A man whose heart
does not respond to the act oi
doing good or of giving happiness
is no longer a man. He has pass
ed the line of manhood, and should
be ranked among beasts—Ex
change.
To the first there can be but one
'answer, an emphatic negative; to
-the latter a cordial acquiescence.
.The consciousness jof: having kx
tedded a helping hand to a fellow
being brings a pleasure incompar-
.ably superior to the accomplish
inent of any selfish end, however
coveted. It is the reward of dis
charged duty, for nothing is laic
.upon, humanity with more binding
force than the requirement of help
ing others.
The principle extends beyond
•individuals and applies with una,
bated force to communities, and
. each of the common interests
the public is involved.
The man who aids and encour
Ages every, enterprise in his neigh
borhood by his cout finance and
support; who stands' shoulder to
shoulder with his fellow citizens
in advocating and advancing the
influence of the church, the effi-
.cincy of educational facilities, the
betterment of society, moral and
material-interests, walks with head
erect and heart cheerful in the
consciousness of putting his hand
in the hand of his neighbor iu
,united effort for th^benefit of his
neighborhood. Efforts beget hope
of accomplishment and. win suc
cess where, passive iudifference
rears apparently insurmountable
difficulties. One success and its
attendant, pleasure .prompts at-

: even strike out to attain, but unas
sisted be cannot achieve; in the
co-operation and. support cf others
depends the measure of success.
Jn that co-operation alone is found
the true enjoyment of American
citizenship.
On the other hand, even as cold-
. hearted indifference to the wants
and cries of humanity . brands a
man as a brute, does the inactivity
of a citizen- in the direction desig
nated, ro.b him of the title of good
citizen.

Opposition to any movement of
general public interest. When
any scheme is put on foot houeat
difference of opinion may exist be
tween, men,. aud the; discussion
which follows iuytiriabiy serves to
better inform all interested, and
results in increased interest and
active prosecution.; but cold indif
ference throws a damper over the
few who Would labor heart and
hand for the advancement of their
section or settlement, retards prog-

breeds decay.
. The than who is ever discordant-
and contentious soon loses -influ

izen, who calmly folds his hands
frnd commits the vital interests of
his community to vicious elements
by his passiveness, or permits
them to rust and rot through nsg-
l»ct, is ten-fold more dangeroris.
The former is a constitutional nui
sance which must be endured
along with the musquitoes, fleas
?nd other small insects;.the latter
a stumbling block in the path of
progress, a mill stone about the

tain liner took .on. at Liverpool for
the last round voyage 1,000 bottles
of champagne, 9,000 of claret,6,000
of ale, 2,500 of porter, 5,000 of min
eral jvater, and 700 of spirits. They
used last year on. their line of
steamers 8,030 quarts and 17,613
pints of champagne. The Ameri
cans drink the greater part of the
champagne. They call for five
quarts of it to one of any other na
tionality.
They also used on that line last
year 13,941 quarts and 7,310 pints
of claret. This bad the largest
sale among the French travelers,
anc indeed all the passengers from
the continent preferred claret.
The Britishers drank the great
er part of the year’s supply of ale
and porter, in all 480,000 bottles.
This with 1?5;0OO bottles of min
eral water, made enough liquid to
float one their ships in. Pretty
good showing, that, in the' way of
wet goods, isn’t it?.
The other vipes weren’t neglect
ed. The steward says their line
used last year 36,000 pounds of to
bacco, 65,000 cigars, 57,000 -cigar
ettes; the lemons used on ship
board averaged two apiece every
day,' apples the same, oranges-lead-
ing with three apiece each day.
The steward says: . “We sailed
from Liverpool with 247.cabin pas
sengers and 300 iu the crew. We
had on board when we started 12, r
<500 pounds of fresh beef; 700
ps(Kid3 of corned beer, 5,000
pounds of niutton,-;850; pounds of
lamb, 320 pounds of veal, 350
pounds of pork. There were be
sides 2,000 pounds of fresh fish,
600 .fowls, 300 chickens, 100 ducks,
50 geese, 80 turkeys, 200 brace of
grouse, 15 tons of potatoes, 30
hampers of vegetables, 280 quarts
of ice cream, 1,000 quarts of milk,
11,500 eggs.
“In the dry groceries there were
650 pounds x>f tea, 1,200 pounds of
coffee, 1,600 pounds of white su-
ga&750 pounds ‘of pulverized su
gar, 1,500 pounds of cheese, 2,000
pounds of butter, 3,500 pounds of
ham, and.1,000 pounds of bacon.
You can form from this list of fig
ures what it costs to victual the
vessel for every voyage.
“My figures are riot done yet.
This line uses 20,000 tons of ice
every year, and an aver ;ga of 1,000
tons o!*coal every day. They use
104,000 gallons of engine oil for
one . item, and an average bf 4
pounds of meat a minute, or over
20,000,000 pounds a year. They
use-22 tons of raisins and.ciirrants,
over 1,000,000 eggs, the average
being one every minute." They
use 1^ tons of mustard, 13 tons of
peas, 17 tons or rice, and 460 tons
of flour, exclusive of the 50,000
loav.es of bread. They use .15 tons
of cheese aud 10 of yellow soap,not
counting the toilet soap. These
are only the figures of one line,
and there are man} 7 . Here’s one
more Jittledtem, which is tliat they

Mi*. P. A. Karey, of Fordham,
N. Y., has offered to give the cot
tage formerly occupied by Edgar
Allen Poe to the city of New York,
if a suitable site ban be found for
it in Central Park, or in one of the
city’s now parks. The cottage is a
plain two-story frame structure on
the Fordham Heights, a few. min
utes’ walk from the station. Poe
spent the last few years of his life
there, and his wife died in the cot
tage. Since then the cottage and
adjoining.grounds have beeu rent
ed, but Mr. Karey expects to put
up a new building on the site next
summer.
