millennium has been talked about for many ages. Its coming is slow. People have been improvident, extravagant and intemperate during all the past ages. I fear some of them will continue to be so in the future. So long as they are, the problem “how to abolish poverty” will remain unsolved. Misery and want will continue in certain places just as surely 'as men and women continue to violate the hws of life and to consume all they can get today, thinking that tomorrow will take care of itself.

Every year the people of the United States throw away more money for things which are useless, or worse than useless, than is paid for their bread, meat and clothing. This statement is appalling, but it is true. I have seen the statistics given so often and by such careful men that I do not doubt their correctness. In their estimates are included all forms of tobacco, all kinds of alcoholic drinks, and the money expended in obedience to the demands of foolish fashions or customs. —R. G. Horr, in N. Y. Tribune.
