"Hull, there isn't any such tli'.ti . That's a fiction that was play ed out long, long ago. Nowa-days It Is the man with the biggest fortune who gets tho olllees. 1 tell you that this country has reached a deplorable state of morals." "How's that?" asked the man who sat ncross from him. "Why. there is no honesty In busi ness, social or political life. Tho elec tions are crooki-d. The vilest sort of schemes are resorted to in order to get votes. Men are openly bribed. Men who get Into ofllce steal everything they can get their hands on. It's the same way in business, too. You can never tell when to trust a man. Peo ple you have dealt with for years do not hesitate to do you tip If they get a chance. They sell you poor goods at high prices. They use all sorts of dis honest menus to get your trade and w hen they get It they at once proceed to get even by cheating you. And in society why. society is rotten to lt core. Honesty is as scarce as purity. There Is nothing that is too mean for these people who pretend to be the leaders of the social nets. 1 am tired of tho whole business. I had a good mother who taught me to be honest and 1 have always tried to live up to her teachings. I can look any man in the face and say that 1 am an honest man.

Physicians universally recog nized its beneficent results and welcomed it as one of the most valuable remedial agents that has been devel oped in medicine, because it covered such a wide range of usefulness and brought into requisition the most remarkable food-medicine in existence. This discovery was Scott's Emulsion and this wonderful nutrient was Cod-liver Oil, but until it was made available in Scott's Emulsion it was almost useless, but by their process of emulsifying it and making it palatable and easy of assimilation, and adding to it the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda, they have given the world a remarkable curative agent in all wasting diseases, both in children and adults.

T'jev are telling a pretty fair story rn ' Ttiele Phil" Armour, Just home from his Kuropeiin trip. I The story is in two chapters, with a j period of thirty years elapsing between the two. ( Thirty years or more ago P. D. Armour was a young man attending nn academy near Syracuse, N. T. : There was a ladies' seu'nary uear by, and ouo beautiful moonlight night Philip sippeil away from his dor mitory and took a pretty seminary : girl out for a long buggy ride. ' It came to the ears of the dignified faculty and a sentence of expulsion was entered up against P. D. Armour. Years passinl on. Young Armour came to Chicago and became the greatest merchant In the world. ! One day an old man with a pair of . white side whiskers aud a profession- j al beatific smile was ushered Into Mr. Armour's private office. "You remember the academy, Mr. Armour?" his visitor began. "I should say I did. I wa expelled from that Institution for taking Susie out buggy riding." 1 "Well, then, perhaps you remember me. I am Prof. . I was a mem ber of the faeu'.ty then, as 1 am now. And I want to say. Mr. Armour, that I always protested against your ex pulsion as being unjust and unwar ranted by the facts. By the way. Mr. Armour, the academy Is in a financial strait Jwt now and I came to see if you would give us some assistance." "Well." replied the millionaire, "if you protested against my expulsion all I have to say is that you have been a long time in letting me know about it." But Mr. Armour made out a good rouud check. Just the same, and sent tb old pedagogue on his way rejolc- , ing.

The n-.ws of Ueu. Scott's nomination of President had Just been received. Webster had failed of the nomination, and the failure had broken his heart. It was a beautiful, starlit evening, and Webster, appearing before his friends, said a few words complimen tary to Oen. Scott, for whom, in fact, he had great contempt; then, turning away from the subject of politics and the nomination, ho said: "Gentlemen, this Is a magnificent night." Then he apostrophized the stars and the planets revolving In their orbits in one of thosa splendid flights of oratory of which he alone was capable. Then, suddenly descending from the skies to earth, he said: "1 now bid you good night. I shall retire to my couch to rest in un troubled .leep. and on the morrow the lark will not rise more Jocund to greet th.' rU!r2 mi than I shall." It was the speceh of a politician. He praised Scott, wU;!ii he despised, and he sought to c -nvey tie Impression that he did n t take to heart his failure to receive til-.' nomination, when, in fact, it was the greatest d (.appointment of his life. FVar month later he died at Miii-slitie'd. SprlngaeM Kepubllcan. called the larrah tree, the wood of which Is said to be almost everlasting.

One thing which has changed the i appearance of the country greatly In ' the dairying region is the practice, now very preva:ent. of "dehorning" cattle. The farmers of northern New Eng land seem to have made the sudden discovery that horn on cows were a gigantic mistake of the creator, to he remedied radically and at once. They say that the cows. If horned, hook each other dreadfully when they are watering, and rattle their horna together In the stanchions, and other wls? misconduct themselves. So they get a 'dehorning machine," and fas ten the prior cow's neck to it, and with one swoop deprive her of her chief or naments aud her natural protection, and leave her a wretched, shorn crea ture, that no artist would think of palming. The loss of her horns seems t turn the cow into a kind of sheep ish and furtive being; she has not the crnn. lent aud self-satisfied air that usually marks her kind.

Horse-racing being the sport ot kings, it's no wonder that the kings are all borrowing money. Aristotle once said to a conceited youth, "Young man, I wish I were w hat you think yourself to be."

There is full compensation for fall ure In every true life, and the highest where the struggle and the loss have been the deepest When Lord Sldmouth one day said, "My brains are gone to the dogs this morning," his friend at once ejaculat ed, "Poor dogs!" "Two heads may be better than one, under some circumstances," muttered the bass drum, "but they have brought me nothing but sound beatings."

That's Just so much money saved." Buffalo Express. Alnralnum Violin. Trof. Alfred Springer treated the M'lentiHts at the convention of the American Association for the Advance ment of Science to a lecture on alum inum violins. A musician played on the instrument, which was shaped like a wooden violin. The body is made of aluminum, but the neck and keys are wooden. "My experiments," said Prof. Springer, "Incline me to believe that the real cause of the superiority of the old wooden instruments over new ones ! not so much in the in creased elasticity of the wood or the composition of the varnish as in the peculiar warping of the wood to a higher arch, a buckling caused by the position of the 'f holes' and sound posts, which may be obtained by using aluminum." The Instrument produced a great volume of tone, but there was a va riety of opinion as to lu quality. Some musicians declared that the quality was not as good as a wooden one for solo work, but that It would prove good In orchestra work. Others took the opposite side of the question entirely, while a few predicted that in a few years aluminum violins will be substituted for the wooden instru ments. New York Commercial.

Well, neither did a rotten egg. The man who would be strong In mind must feed on facts. It Is hard to please the man who never knows what he wants.
