He is seldom a fool, and if he keeps any record ot work and its cost your efforts to save your time and his money will not ba thrown awa/. Even if he is unappreciative, or does not know enough of your end of his business to realize what you are doing for him, you must remember that every step in advance you your value to some one else in case, from slackness of work or otherwise, you make a change of situation. The man who knows the foqst and can apply his knowledge the quickest can always command the highest price, if not in one place, then in another. The man who .only works with the idea of knocking through his ten hours will be drudge at his trade, and will grieve to see the youngsters pass him in his race. Think while you work. Let head and hands combine. Specimen Cases. „ S. H.

I I SOME PERILS OF YOUTH. i i ‘ For example the tobacco habit and the t rinking habit are formed insiduous|y and : by degrees. The cigarette infamy has be- . ome so prevalent among young people i hat the Woman’s Christian Temperance I Union, in its late world’s convention, felt ■ justified in declaring war against it, as the ! U nion also has against the sale of alcohol 1 >zenges to little children in candy stores, t The liquor interests of the country feel that they can afford to perpetuate their infamous but profitable business by invest ing a certain amount as a curruption fund • »deprave the tastes and appetites of 1 ■ hildren. The cigarette does the same for obacco habit the candy lozenges do or the whisky habit. It is milder and ten where a strong cigar would nauseate young man so that he would stop before he fairly begun to be a slave to tobacco* the cigarette leads him on by degrees, nd worst of all, best medical authorities oak upon the cigarette as a soul-sapping body-demoralizing abomination. The <sual cigarette is made up of unripe and poorly prepared tobacco, soaked in nlcoine, impregnated with opium, stramonium ind belladonna, generally wrapped in rice paper, whitened with arsenic. We read constantly of people dying with heart failure; physicians tell us that very often it is from the excessive use of cigarettes. Dr. Keeley said to me that the cigarette fiend was among the most trying patients with whon he had to deal. He was willing to o ive the victim of alcohol a certain amount ..f liquor in order to be cured gradually, b .it he absoulutely refuses under any circ imstances to give any patient a cigarette. “Men do not become victims of alcohol by a single bound. They begin with light drinks, only a glass of beer or wine, they

can do no harm, they simply exhilarate.

■MMSAULH■ IBM .LI.! A Letter From Ella Schenk. (cosranme from uh wmut.) The Cathedral is an ugly, old, black stittd♦ure. rensrhebie fur nothing but Its age. I saw the Tonteth chapel, where Tontetb, the great astronomer who discovered the planet Venus, and its movements, used to worship. The streets are all paved with stone, and such large draft horses 1 never saw before. Liverpool claims the finest and the beat horses in the kingdom, I’m not so sure they don’t say in the world. A horse here last only seven years then now ones are put tn use, so wo see very l ow broken down horses. T have seen more poverty, as it is pictured In books, than I have ever seen. While we wore out Saturday little boys and girls from Roll’s age up to ten and twelve years, were running > long the streets trying if by any means they •right win a penny from you. One little fel--1 w who might have been ten years old. but not ! rger than a boy of six or seven, ran along by the side ot our tramm turning summersaults <"io after another, and crying out something, j ‘1 he only part of which I could get was “penny.” The child had some old clothes on several , > zee to large and every time he turned hi» ■ baked body was exposed to view, not an undergarment, no shoes, no shirt no drawers, only those big pants, coat and vest which part- , <-<l when he turned. I could not take my eyer tiom him and several times I touched mj purse to throw him some pennies, but then were dozens of others Just as needy right bj Ms side. Later in the evening Mr. Lewis said wC would go out and see the crowd. Between f and 10 we wont down to where the great Lewis store is. which is the best known store iu England, It is upon the same plan as Wans--1 maker’s in Philadelphia, only not so largo. 1 M he buildlngs bore are not nearly so high at at home, the highest I have yet seen is four stories. The Lewis store is four stories high and is indeed a beautiful sight to look upon al night. Lighted as it Is from basement to turret by hundreds upon hundreds of gas Jets. 1 um not sure they are all gas Jets, but those below are. They shine through colored glasr in circles, oblongs, triangles, squares, and other fantastic shapes. At one place, about the center, is a plate with the name Lewis and < very minute each letter of the word is.form•d by those lights something like this, L—white E-blue, W—red, I—green, S—white. Then another, every light has changed places. The lights are arranged in beautiful order, but 1 am sure 1 can never give you an idea as tc how it really is. But the sight tome was not Lewis display of wealth, butthat living, seath Ing ocean of human beings. Jostling, and pushing, and erring out for bread to keep them over Sabbath, Men, women and children > ushing up to you and begging you to buy anything, everything for a penny. It was awful, and unless you can see such a sight you can neveroverdraw upon your imagination Yet Ijcannot help them. Everything is cheat here, but labor is cheap also. I found I was noi s upplied well with wraps,the air is very raw and my shawl was not much protection, sol con. eluded I would get a light Jacket if they were iso tmore than five dollars. By the way we had our money changed and people laughed a good deal at us because we did not know how much they were when they said “tu pens ha-penny.,’ and such like. But I am a learning and tht uliove means two pence and a half, or in plain American five cents. Well to my shopping, 1 found a nice rough black Jacket and asked the price. 7 and 11 was the reply. I looked fool-i.-h, but said, “I do not know what that means," ' Oh, you're a stranger, 7 shillings and 11 ponce,” That was a little better. I began counting and found it would coat me 81.97. I now possess the Jacket, and I would have paid $4 for it in Sidney, Ohio. 1 also got a face vail lor 18 cents which would have post about 86 cents at home, but then the labor here la so u.uoh cheaper. I’ll pay a little more rather t an work and live as the working people do bore. will write more as 1 see more of interest to ■w rite. October 6,1891. After leaving you yesterday 1 went out up- <

oaths street Ihadbiokea my watch oiystal and took it to get a now one and promised to call for it in the morning. Then after purchasing some blank books I went bav« to the hotel and wrote to the association, which you will perhaps see tn the Evaugdical. Alter tea 1 went to get my watch, but could not find the place. I bad not taken the number. Now Just imagine how deapert I was. I searched for half or three quarters of an buuf when at last I discovered a cross street, at the corner of which was the Jewelry shop.' We do not speak of stores here, nor drugs, but shops and chemists shops. Mr. Lewis, called here last evening. He Is indeed very “Henghsh," but with all very kind to us. f The ship on which we will sail is named the “Angola” and leaves Saturday about 10 a. m. The ship 1s very lull and we four will all be in one room. Mr. Lewis would like to have us wait until Wednesday of next week, but we ieel we must go ou. I am so anxious to reach Freetown, for not until then caul hope to hear from home. Ido hope you have written to Freetown, 'ou cannot kno.w how anxious I am to hear /hat you are all doing and where you are. It eems an age since 1 had a word from any of ou. I feel very much alone, but I wil! not liow myself to think of anything only my tern duty. I think I have never told what a doe time I had in New York City. We were u old Trinity church, it was very magnificent, hen we went out into the graveyard, I stood •efore the tomb of Alexander Hamilton and .is wife, dating 1804, there were stones black rith time, bearing the date 17981707 perhaps Ider ones than these, but these were all 1 saw, rom some the inscription was completely rased. I took some of the epetaphs which 1 rill send you some other time. We stopped •efore Bt. Paul’s church where Washington /orahipped. I also saw the government buidug where the first oath of office was given /ashlngton. I wish you could have been /Ith me on Wall street in a railroad stock exhange, they began this awful contest for uoney at 10 a. m. and dose at 8 p. m., and very moment of that time some man is either uricbed or beggared. Wo went up in the ewer of the Produce exchange building to a .(stance of about 816 feet where we had a ively view of Castle Garden and Bowling ireen. When we left the harbor here. Wedesday morning, we passed quite near the tatue of Liberty, with the help of a field glass had a splendid view of it, also nf Governor's aland. We took a drive through Central Park •nd saw a great many thingwf which I may ot tell you now. I will Ito you rest again while I go to learn something else. 14 Months in Bea. “Mrs Kelly requests me to write you In regard U wi.al S. S.
