pen of a Boston tea
physics, that is worth
and remembering, too: '

Confidence in the business \\torld
means botli cash and credit.
There is not half money enough
in this country for doing its dai-
ly business. What is lacking
in coin and bank notes is made
up by men's names written, on
bits of paper promising to pay
certain sums in certain titnef.
Don't be a screw. What kegps
thousands of noses on the grind-
stone of hard times is that they
have no confidence or fcourage
in themselves to take risks-
responsibilities. They keep
poorhouse in their minds ana
live in it. They aspiro to be
only a screw in the buainessma
chine instead of striking out and
making a machine of their own
The screws are bookkeepers, tel
egraph operators, e'erks, and al I
who never plan any thins;" be-
yond a situation and steady w#
ges. Confidence aud brains
combined find such screws ready
made by the thousand. It makes
the screw do as much work for
as little money as posHible.When
one screw is worn out it throws
it aside and g.ts another.
The screws find fault with the
monopolist. Their real slavery
is in their own minds. They
never think, aspire, plan or de-
mand in thought to be anything
but screws. They think there
is no placo for them at the heat
of a business. Their first and
great-step toward staying at the
tail of a business lies ill think-
ing that they must remain at
the tail. Because what is as
surned or kept steadily in thougt
always frames an outward exact
like of itself in what can be seen
If you think clean clothes you
will alwavs have clean clothes.
Always aim high. A work-
ingman ought never to look at a
millionaires palace without say
ing: "I am going to have t
palace like that." His saying
this in dead earnest is one
thought among many others
which pushc3 him forward and
into his own palace. Because
it is your thought that pushes
3'ou to do things. If you ate in
the apple trado and a thought
suddenly comes to you that you
can sell a hundred barrels of ap
pies at a certain place, you can't
stay away from that place. The
idea will push you on.
Real business does not lie
alone in being industrious. The
goody-goody books and maxims
have only told half the story
about industry. A good deal
depends upon what you are in-
dustrious about. If you spend
all your time and strength "in
polishing pans or blacking your
Loots yonr industry won,t ct&r f
you very high. The industri-
ous mind in a rested body plans
in an hour what brings in moro
money than a tin pan polishfer
may learn iu a year. Peoplo
who work only are mostly with
their bedies have as good a right
as the capitalist to work with
heir minds. The world always

as a pusher, and such frame of

push. Thelre is a power in a con-
tinual imagination of yourself in
any certain character which does
make you more and moro like
such character. Imagine that
the best belongs to you and you
will find the best coming to you.
Imagine the worst, you see your-
self in the poorhouse, and the
poorhouse comes to you. . Suc-
cess, like charity, must begin at
home in the mind. If you are
now compelled to live in a poor
room and on poor fare, do so on-
ly under protest. Keep your
mind only on the better room
and better fare. Don't say, "I
s'poso I must always take up
with those." Say instead, "I'm
going to have better things than
these." You aro then creating
for yourself strength, not weak-
ness. You aj-e then ever

mental attraction which will
bring these things to you.—Pow-

Buttermilk as a Drink.
A great physician once said if
every one knew the value of
buttermilk as a drink it would
be moro freely partaken of by
persons who drink so excessive-
ly of other beverages, and fur-
ther compared its effects upon
the system, to the cleaning outof
a cook stove that has been clog-
ged up with ashes that have sift-
ed through filling every crevice
and crack, saying that the hu-
man system is like a stove, and
collects and gathers refuse mat-
tor that can iu no way be exter-
minated from the system so ef-
fectually as by drinking butter-
milk. It is also a remedy for in-
digestion, soothes and quiets the
nerves, and is very somnolent
to those who aro troubled with
sleeplessness. Its medicinal qual-
ities cannot be overrated, and it
should be freely used by all who
can get it. Every one who val
ues good health should drink
buttermilk every day in warm
weather and let tea, coffee and
water alone. For the benefit of
those who are not already aware
of it, I may add thatin the churn®
ng of it, the first process of diges-
tion is gone through, maxing it
one of the easiest and quickest
of all things to digest. It maks
gastric juice,and contains proper
ties tlyit readily assimilate with
it, with very littlo wear upon tho
digestivo organs.—Hall's Jour-
nal of Health.
An Iowa Idyl.
A man may cbin
And a man may work
For the temperance cause all day;
But he can't go a-fishing,
And observe prohibition,
Because he ain't built tliat way.

Wrltto.l for the Punch Hand of More)'.
Ho had been a good horse in
his day,but now his weary lifo is
almost over. Poor old Jim I
Many a day had lie pulled tho
plow through tho heavy, damp
soil, and had*then como ii}
to get about half as much corn
and oats as lie could eat, oftoh-
times, after d#rk, to draw a car-
riage load of peoplo to church or
if it wna tto,ltttov.4*a-
light, when tho plowing would
begin again. Yet this old Jim
had no voice to protest against
this, no kind friend to ward off
tho heavy blows to which ho
was heir. True, his master's
children wero Band of Mercy
members, and could not be per-
suaded to kill a harmless insect
or wear a feather in their hats,
but never a thought did they
give to old Jim. How many of
you, oh, ye Band of Mercy chil-
dren, aro laboring under tho
same mistake? For twenty long
years did Jim toil on. None but
his misliess'remembors the night
her baby was so ill how fast his
old tired limbs went when sho
had sent for the doctor who lived
ten miles away. Many a pleasant
ride had he given the boys and
girls when he was not being used
on tho farm. But now old Jim
is so old he is not useful any
more, and he has been turned
out to die, alone, forsaken and
forgotten.
"Yo call tlicm dumb aud deem it well,
IIow e'er tlioir bursting liwrts may
swell;
Tliey have no voice their woes to tell,
As fabulists have dreamed."
Stella 8. Ivny in Times Democrat-
President Cleveland has one
supreme court justice to appoint
now. It is not improbable that
he may have several more dur-
his first or second term. On this
subject tho New York Herald
says: "Four members of the
court are past seventy years of
age. They are Chief Justice
Waite and Justices Miller, Field
and Bradly. By law they arc
now entitled—though not re-
quired—to retire from service
with a continuance of salary for
life. In the natural course of
things they must disappear from
the bench within a few years at
most. Should Mr. Cleveland be
re-elected next year his second
term would run until March,
1893, or about six years from
this time. If he should serve
through that time, the probabil-
ity is that the appointment of
five justices-a majority of the su-
preme court—would fall to him.
This would not only change the
political complexion of tho court,
but it would be an instance with
but one parallel of tho appoint-
ment of so many members of
that tribunal by ono chief mag-
istrate. Five were appointed by
Mr. Lincoln, Grant appointed
throe, Hayes two, Garfield one
Arthur two.—Houston Post.
A correspondent of the Boston
Traveller interviewed President
Cleveland the other day on tho
prohibition question. Tho Pres-
ident spoke freely enough on tho
subject, but if tho interviower
got the information ho wanted,
he must have been easily satisfied
Said the President: "I have been
thinking over this movement
for a long time. There is scarcely
a day passes that something
does not turn up to remind mo
of the curse of rum. Men aro
disgraced, sent to prison, and
mount the scaffold, simply be-
cause they aro not able to con-
trol their appetites. This is ono
side of it. Now look upon tho
other. There is no plensanter
spectacle than to see hundreds
of Germans, with their wives and
chiIdron,in a beer garden,listen-
ing to tho music and enjoying
themselves as good and law-a-
biding citizens. I drink beer
and light wines myself, and I
think I feel all the better for their
uso to others, because I boliovo
that every man should bo a law
unto himself in this matter. It's
a mighty complicated question,
however."
The liigest salary paid Meth-
odist ministers in the Now
Hampshire conference is $1,500
and the use of a parsonage,
while the average, including
house rent, is $000.
Civil Service Commissioner
Oberly says that the now rules
regulating promotions aro prac-
tically the President's own pro-
duction, as he riddled with als
teratious the draft submitted for
his approval by the commission.
The President himself, he says,
suggested the clause compelling
all clerks to bo examined, whicli
has given so much satisfaction
to tho true friends of civil ser-
vice reform. The commissioner
takes excessive pains, perhaps,
to explain to the apprehensive
"ins' that the examinations aro
to be easy.—Baltimore Sun,Dcm.
