We are holding the Almighty' *"* " " ?*? "' ?* "- Hiut u m urn ' Miliar m# vn*>c hi uui vj vo >i._. ? hscuring Almighty God. In our old atechism we were asked, "What is' he chief end of wan?" The U|nto. ate reply would he, "The chief etui f mau in to glorify Hold ami to eujoy t forever." The corrupting influence of unprinipled wealth was not unknown iu the ays of antiquity. The liible speaks f the meu iu whose right handa are uiquitiea, and iu whone left are hrihts. It is related that the Delphic oracie. a response to a request of Philip of Jacedon for advice, uttered tiie?e rord?: ' Make coin thy weapon, and hou wilt conquer all." We know that kbiUp boasted of carryiug more forti? moiiPV than bv iriOK. Hav ug that a golden key would opeu any wie, and Hint a iuu!e laden with sliver ould And entrance through auy pans. The giving of bribe* is, perhaps, not be worst feature of the policy of the joney-power of to-day. The chief vil, now-a-days lies iu the well nigh iii versal fawning aud cowering before realtb, in the blind scramble for forjue or favor. We are taught to act a art, when we should embody a priucile. We atoop over and walk on all Mira when we should stand erect, remembering the stars above us. Many of the hangers on of the millouaire are mere fawners and flatterers eekiug to pu?h their way iuto the ooial swim. Other classes who bend t bis feet are working people, who are lependent on him for food and shelter. What is the way out of this social Th? tniwkr In not clrar. But ne thing is certain : we all need ;eeuer tense of values. We need to et up character (not money,) an the ne ideal of lire that is beat worth rbile. But can we hope for this higher and tier ideal, aa long as so many thoutnds are beholden to the rich man for beir bread and butter? Is it not the leed of an opportunity to work ??i? it tot a sense of aelf-preaervation in the truggie for existence??is it not some ucti mental pretwure that impels so nany to play the toady and to wear a lunkey's coat? Will It be possible, ome time, to deviae a plan to make be tolling thousands independent ot be millionaire?dependent of both hi* ;ood will and bia.caprlce? But, while we are watting for a beter order of tbicg*, it behooves ua u> t'nniror hnlri r?ii tho ideal of American manhood Let us be rexpectul?even reverent?but always dign fled. Nothing unmans u? more quickly ban the contagion or servility. Yet his disease 1m spread broadcast like u lesillence. Not a few. to-day, would ommend the bad advice of bluff old >r. Johnsou, as to the art of getting on u the world. In his famous "Life o' Johnson," tbst busybody, Bo?well, ays: "I talked of the mode adopted ?y some to rise in the world by courtng great men, and I uked Jobuson rhether he had ever gnbmiited to it? lobnson replied : 'Wny, sir, I nevej ras near enough to great men to court bem You ate not to do rhatyou tbluk wrong; aud you are tot to calculate, and not pay too dear or what you get. You mu?t not give i shilling's worth of court for bixpenstrorth or good. But, if you cau get a hilling's worth of good for aix pence rorth of court, you are a fool if you do lot pay court.'" W e are making remarkable programn wealth gathering, yet one thing i* ertain?we shall reach no enduring [reatncM until we make manhood taud higher than money. A mere ulllionaire, with his cramped aud ordid life, cuts a sorry figure wheu neasured by the^ide of a progressive ditor, an unselfish teacher, or a distinguished iuventor. We are naturally bero-worshipers, and t is right that we shoald be. The hing important is that we should hoose the true heroes, not the stuffed on, not the pom pun nothings struting out their little uour upon a painted tage. Let us chou*; for our honoring be large hearted servants of mankind Once upon a time a distinguished urelgu noblemau visited our laud, aud let*ired to meet a representative Anieruan family.

But Illinois is not alono in this embargo of mod. There are few if any -i ~ ll?l I ?? IN THE SPRINGTIME. [From Good Roads.] states in this country that cannot duplicate this condition this spring or any otber for that matter. It ia a constantly recurring evil that will continue so long as present methods of highway construction and repair prevail. Here are a few items taken from the Chicago Evening Post of March 29. They relate a familiar tale: Aurora.?It is next to impossible to get aboat in the country with a load. Light milk wagons are drawn into the city each morning by four horses instead of two. The stage which runs between Geneva and Batavia has had difficulty getting through with four * l Dorses. HUB, IVU, in uu ?uu mnvi? Elgin-Aurora bicyclo course, which guidebook* call the best strip of road around Chicago. Elgin.?Roads in this vicinity are practically impassable, except for light loads. The bottom is hnb deep. Galena.?-The roads in Jo Daviess county are impassable. Farmers cannot get in to market with produce. Undertakers and liverymen are unable to attend funerals in the country, as hearses and carriages cannot be drawn over the roads. Harvey.?The impassable condition of the roads throughout Thornton township ha9 practically suspended traffic between Chicago and Harvey during the last two weeks. Yesterday the first delivery wagon for over a week got through from Chicago Heights, but with only a half loud. Joliet.?Joliet is completely embargoed from tbo outside, so far as the country is concerned. It is absolutely impossible Tor iarmers to reacn mo city. Funeraia in the couutry have been disposed of by temporary interment on the homestead land. Fanners come in with four and six horses for coal and groceries. Lemont.?The roads in the oountry near Lemont are so bad that farmer* cannot get to town without using four horses, and the wheels sink down in clay to the hub. They cannot travel more than one-eighth of a mile without stopping to rest the horses. Naperville.-The roads were never as bad in 20 years as now. Mud is axle deep. Farmers do not venture out to market unless necessity drives them to it Princeton.?The roads in many sections of Bureau county are impassable. Mncb inconvenience and financial loss is being occasioncd to farmers who for four weeks havo been unable to draw any loads. Woodstock.?The roads in this section are the worst in many years. With warm winds they might bo in fair condition in two or three weeks. Whiting, Ind.?Tho roads in this seo j tion for milea around are in a terrible state. In many places they aro utterly impoasablo to vehicles of any kind. Kankakee.?Most of the highways ir Kankakeo township aro stoued and arc in fairly good condition. In some parts of the county a wagon wheel will sink to its hub. Wankegon.?Tbo highways in the out* skirts of Waukegan and tho surrounding country aro simply frightful. The country people are mudbonnd. A number of oouutry schools aro closed because it is too hard for teachers and pupils to get to them. Yorkrille.?The public highwaya arc an impassable gulf in most places, and the hitherto sound, reliable gravel roads are cut through to the bottom. Milk wagons have abandoned their routes and creameries have been compelled to 1 nlose for want of the milk and cream 1 apply.

Blind?Mechanic* aild It to D* m Art la Whlcfc Machinery Conld Not Compete. Rasps and flics in the hands of n first lam mechanic rise to the dignity of tool* f the first order Id a inaohino shop. To 'file Mjuare" Is a test of skill which ha* anuMl ninnvik hrnffirurt to lower his crest, nd an A 1 vise hand Li a treasure in a hop whore finishing Ik dnno on the bench. To Hie square means to filo truo; to finish he face of tho work without marring it rith scratches and rounding surfaces, and u do this as a regular ovcryday thing, Is n art to be won only through practice nd long experience. Files ruin thousands f dollars' worth of work, and files add bousands of dollars to the value of inanuactuml product. In somo of the maehine shops of Chicago aro gray haired mechanics who hav? vorn overalls for 40 years and more. They em ember well the time when machine node files were held up to ridicule and corn and when all first class, well known oakee of files wore out by hand. Some of hoso old fellows still insist that machine a ado files are not and never can be as ;ood as the files which are cut by hand, ud they carry this prejudice to such an ixtent that they declare tboy cannot do jood work with the machine cut files. It would be (' ilt for them to tell tbo lifferenco botv u the two makes of Dins, or within comparatively few years ma blnus have been making files that cannot ? approached by the most expert file out* en of Sheffield, files, ana many 01 mem, ae ?t 111 cut by band, and a file cutter Is irobably the most expert user of a hamner and oold ehUel in the Industrial world. Filee and iMpe are made of steel which raries from the ''blistered" steel for the morer quality of files to the best crucible, ir "cast cast" steel, for the higher grades. The blanks axe prepared for the file cutter tj forging Ike "tang," or tapered point or tbe handle, and shaping the stool to be proper farm under a die or press. Tbe >lanks are thoroughly annealed or softenxl, and are perfectly clean and free from Bale when laid on tbe bench of the worknan wbo cuts the teeth. A file cutter generally works on the tame kind of s "cut" year in and year >ut. This gives him a mechanical perfeo.lon which cannot be secured In any other iray, and it is said that a workman's land becomes so accustomed to the ?poong that were be to beoome blind be coald rat juat as well. Filee are made of many forms to nail he great variety of work which they are tailed upon to do, bat the "outs" wblob {ire coarseness and fineness to filee are (omparatively few. They are known as 'rough,""bastard," "smooth" and "dead imootb." Tbeso an the common "outs." 'Floats" an single out flies, and double >at files are inade by crossing the first rat with a soeond out, thus changing the ?rail el, unbroken cutting edges of the loats Into numerous points. When a face, or one or more edges oa a lie, is left oaoat, it is said to bo "safe." Mo matter what the form of the file is, whether fiat, square, round, half round, -ut tall, three square or knife edged, the ratting is done the same way. A short, light, steel oold eblml, with a broad, ... - J? S L.?S. itraigns coning eugts, u ucuy. iw ???nner Is a curious looking affair, for it U rarved somewhat, and tho handle la laterted well toward the mailer cod. The lamincr weighs from one to six pounds, [n striking the workman gives a peculiar lulling blow which raises the '*bur" and lives the particular cut characteristic of lies, and it was this out that for nearly MX) years provonted inventors from designing machinery which would cut a file xjual to the hand cut article. The workman site on a low bench which wmes out from a long wide bench. Before Jim Is bis anvil, usually a stone block or % slab of Iron. The blanks are held In place by straps which pass over the tang rod point, and then form a loop or stirrup under the anvil. The workman puts his foot In the loop, and thus hold* the blank ncure while ho Is cutting It. He holds the ihlsel between the finger and thumb of the left bond, and after each cat mores toe 3lank slightly for the next eat. He does ills by lifting the ohlsel over the bar and ;hen pressing the point of the tool against ;bo raised edge jast oat, at the some time loosening the strap so that the blank can M moved. In catting small flies or smooth or dead trnootb flies the hammer blows, movement >f the chisel, loosening tho straps, moving .he blank, tightening the strap and striking the next blow are done so rapidly that ibey are nearly simultaneous. The float rat Is made first, and tben the second cat Is made. In making the eeoond cut the workman strikes the chisel with less force, ;bus making a shallower oat. If the flle Is to bo cat on tbe other side, the oat side Is laid upon a plate of Jead or pewter to protect the cutting edges. If the flle Is other >han a flat shape, the lead or pewter Is proovod or hollowod out to fit tbe shape. After catting, tho filesaro hardened, for the annealing makes tbe steel so sort that ae first uko of the fllo would bend tbe outting edges. Some flies are curved before s*inir temnflmd. This Is done by beating (he cut files to dull rod and bending sham to tbo required curve over a wooden blook with a wooden mallot. The flies to be hardened are first covered with a mixture of salt and some sort of oarbonaoeous lubstance. This covering serves a twofold purpose?it prevents tbe teeth from oxidation and from losing the carbon In the rteel, and by fusing indicates tbe proper beat for tempering. Is also serves to present cracking wben tbe file Is sudden.y plunged into the ooollng liquid which fives the flle the temper. Naturally a heated file suddenly oooled rill warp more or less acoordlng to its form. This Is prevented by giving tbe flle : i '*set" in tbe other direction before it is . tempered, so tbit the tendenoy to warp j kctually straightens tbe flle. When the steel has reached tbe proper beat, tbe flle j Is lifted from th? fire by tbe tang and sud- J donly lmmersod In cold water, and before j It has grown cold It Is withdrawn and put I In a screw clomp, wblcb koeps it from j curving or bending. Tho tang is the" sof j toned by sticking it in melted load,ai*d thou tbe flle Is cleaned, dried and oiled.?Chic*- j go Reoord. Wood Gas.
