Be Wise in Time,
Suppose that I am about to make a
j. 1)1007 tlnegh Africa; au I have the
Hhc-"* of the Me-iittrauean tny friends
flo-:k around mo and imp’ore me not
to go with out. a guide. I pay no at
tention to them 'uitbcr than to say I
li.ve plenty of money with me, and
that is alwats a sufficient guide. A
native who has led many a traveler
over the earns country, off rs his ser
vices, but they are refine- and with the
same expression. A west later I find
myself in the midst of a burning de
sert — mv supply of wt<r aim jst gone,
aud no shelter from the tcorehingsacd
and blistering sunshine.
Now I realize that I am lost end
about to die, and of what value to me
aro the thoasends of dollars within my
pockets? They can not call a guide
or open a spring in the desert.
We are not prepared for the fufute
until we engsge a gniuo who knows
all of the way. The lamps of wealth,
of knowledge, ot honesty, may famish
light enough to enable ns to grope our
way to the grave, but only the light
of tbo iuvelation, the grace ami truth,
which came by Jesus Christ, can make
plain the path through death’s mid
night to the marriage feast beyond. I
do not believe in mere outward mor
aliiy. It can no naive tyke us to
Heaven than a railroad train could
bear ns across the Atlantic ocean

Coney Island Profits.
I pricked np some information about
Coney Island beer the other day, says
a reporter ix the Brooklyn Citizen, my
informant being (he sapeiintendcint of
a well known restaurant. “I had
charge,'’ he said, “of a beer counter
down at the Island part of one sum
mer, and really think I learned how to
sell move froth and loss beer for five
cents than any other man in town.
For every keg of beer that was tapped
I had to turn in $9 to the boss, and if
1 failed to do so he deducted the differ
once out of my wages. That veiy sol
idom happened though. The beer cost
the bora two dollars a keg, and I have
sold it eh high as thirteen dollars a
keg; that meant four dollars for me at
ter 1 had settled with tho boss. I lik
ed to Bee a party corns in and com
ruence drinking ponies of beer. They
usually got about a tablespoonful o!
leer at the bottom of several inches of
froth, and it was wonderful how the
keg would hold out. Then I had
charge ot the lunch counter for a loug
time and did pretty well there. The
J boss bought the leanest hams he could
get, averaging about twelve pounds
each, and i had to tarn in ten dollars
for every ham. We sold the sand*

M eenu . it n Mountain.
The’- avi* hen sold from Iron
M omaoj 8 0(10,000 toi.s ot ore, says
a letter to the S'. Lotiii* Globe Demo
cra r . But there is in sight to day
more ore than James Harriron saw
when he came here forty odd years
ago and figured out fortunes lor him
sell and associates.
The product exceeds 3,000,000 tons.
The more exact figures are 3,085,000
tons. What doe 6 this mean ia dol
lars? It is hard to say. But there
has been times when iron Mountain
ore was worth ten dollars a ton loaded
upon the oars. It is even remember-
ed that once a car load made up of
picked ore brought fifteen a ton. This
was an extra lot wanted for some spe
cial work at Beckham’s Kimmswick
furnace, and it brought an extra prico.
The bulk of the product has gone at
iue, eight and seven, with prices now
ranging still lower. Perhaps, for a
rough estimate, eight dollars a ton
may be taken as a fair average. That
means twenty five million for the pro
duct.
Early operations were primitive.
The ore was picked up from the crest
of the mountain in chunks, trundled
down tho mountain side on tramways,
and loaded on the cars ready for ship
ment.' Pick and shovel dislodged the
masses. Gravity furnished the power,
for tho loaded ear going down, pulled
the empty cue up. That was picking
up dollars. Ono workman was good
for six or eight tons a day. Ore was
worth nine and ten dollars a ton,
and 100 ears a day left tho mountain
for the furnaces.
Thfere wore periods when the ship
ments want over 1,000 tons a day and
eyery ton meant a five dollar bill to
ha stockholders. A net income of
:ive thousand a day. A piofit of
fifteen million ficui twaiity-fiye
million gross income.
And yet here stands the mountain
to-day, reduced in size, scarred and
furrowed and tunneled, with more ore
in eight than there was in 1884.
The Salvation Aimy was organized
in Lon ion in the year 1865 by the
Rev. William Booth, tho preeut gen
eral-in-Chief. He was brought np in
the Chnrch of England, converted
among the UoUodist, and afterward
became a traveling preacher among
them, and labored as sueh nntil 1861,
when be gave bimeelf up with his wife
to evangelistic work. Tho army has
divisions aud divisional headqoarteis
in Sweden, Switzerland, France, Ger
many, Africa, India, Australia, new
Zealand, Tasmania and the United
States. Sixteen weekly papers, earh
know:: as the War Cry, are published
in theso different countries. Their ag
gregate circulation is 26,000 090 c>pi?s
a year.
