George W. Aldridge, tba new su?

The remedy for hard times is for
every man to get out of debt. The
purchasing power of a bale of cot?
ton is as great or greater than it ever
was, but it will not go as far in paying
off debts. We hear very little of
hard times from those who are
out of debt.

In addressing the students of Cornell j i
University upon the subject of journal- i
ism, Mr. Chares A. Dana of the New ?
York Sun, told them, among other j
things, that "all the goodness of a
good egg cannot make up for the bad- j .
ness of a bad one.'7 That is wisdom
boiled down to an epigram. Shun bad
eggs as you would the pestilence; but. j
when you find yourself in possession of \
a bad egg in spite of yourself, throw it j
at the President of the United States. !
That is the teaching by example of the
famous old journalist.
A statistician in the employ of the
German government three years ago
determined to make a careful investiga- 1
tioo of the supersition regarding Fri?
day as an unlucky day. As a result of
his exhaustive labors, he has giveu the I
world a book of queer tables and nsures .
which prove th3t it is Monday, and not,
Friday, that is the mest fatal or unlor- i .
tanate day of the week. Bat ali thc !
proofs to the contrary which may be j
offered wilt not make Friday popular <
with those inclined to be superstitious.
But there is ?orrcthiiig moro than
superstition against Friday. It is ap
prejudice which a murderer has against j [
that day and all other days so deep- j
rooted that he begs thal he may not
assist at making Friday a lucky day
for the community io which he lives by
being hanged on Friday.

the foreign woods are the pomegranate

is cork. Four hundred and thirteen
different species of trees grow in the
various states and territories, and of
this number sixteen, when perfectly
seasoned, will sink in water. These
woods of high specific gravity grow
costly in tbe arid regi?os of New
Mexico, AfizoDa sod Navada.
Sycrjpathetic piaio friend to inconsola?
ble young widow-"The^last time I
met your dear husband he bopped and
spoke to me with such a suooy greeting
that I was the happier for it al! day
long.
Young widow, still obliviousto every?
thing except ber loss-44 Yes, that was
just like dear David. There was uo
woman so humble, or homely, or unat?
tractive, or dull, but that he could find
something pleasant to say to her and

While politics are all over now, there
is another campaign ahead of the far?
mers for this year. "It ts the hog
aud hominy campaign ard the farmer
who does not look well to this matter

uncertainty.-Pittsburg Post.

vent rivals who dealt io the counterfeit,
a substance into which beetsugar largely
entered.
