tlon. Tho conference, wo well pleaded
with Congresmnnn Hopkins' record.
It has boon tnily snld that mon of
tonguo are not always men of thought.
The greatoHt talkers are not generally
the mont profound thinker. Mon of gab
are not always men of brain. And yet,
with the (ft-eat majority of poople,xotind
is preferred to sense; and tho man who
talks tho loudest, and especially If ho
talks about something which neither
he nor those who hoar him understand,
is considered tho greatent man. Dut
when it comes to acts, and words to bo
translated into deeds, and work instead
of talk Is required, then men of
thoughts, men of brains, men of practi
cal common sense como to the front,
and thero worth is recognized. If
muny persons would think more and
talk less, and talk about what they
understand, it would bo better for
themselves and for othors.
Somo ono thus beautifully writes alxntt
the boys who love their mothers: "Of
all the love affair In tho world, nothing
can surpass tho true love of tho big Ixty
for his mother. It is pure love and
noble; honorablo in tho highest degree
to both. I do not mean merely a dutiful
affection. I mean a love which makes
a boy gallant aud courteous to his
mothor,saylng to everybody plainly
that ho is in lovo with her. Next to
the love of a husband, nothing so crowns
a woman's life with honor as this second
love, this devotion of a son to her.
And I never yet knew a boy to 'turn
out bad' who began by falling in lovo
with his mother. Any man may fall in
love with a fresh-fuced girl, and tho
man who is gallant with the girl may
cruelly neglect the worn and weary
wifo. But the boy who is a lover of his
' mother in her middle age is a true
knight, who will love his wife as much
In the sere-leaved autumn as he did in
tho daisied spring time."
Friday, August 19th, was Grange day at
Chautauqua. Ex-Presldont Rutherford
B. Hays acted as chairman of the
meeting held In the Amphitheater.
Among the speakers was Dr. John
Trimble, of Washington, one of the
original seven founders of the order
of tho Patrons of Husbandry, or
the Grange. The Doctor closed his
address by saying: "The National
Grange has taken a stand. It Is not a
political machine. But it goes boldly
before legislatures and the general
publio, to assert the needs and the
. rights of the farmer. It does this tem
perately and firmly, and knows no such
words as fail. Its achievements in
the past are the best guarantee of its
success in the future. Meanwhile, it is
carrying into the scattered and often
isolated farmhouses of the nation a sense
of brotherhood and social fellowship, an
atmosphere of aound'morality, and high
regard for religion which comforts the
hearts of thousands of men, women and
children, and makes farm life better,
brighter, purer and nobler, God bless
the Grange."
There is, iierhaps, no better test of a
man's real strength and character than
the way in whioh he bears himself un
der just reproof. Every man makes mis
takes; every man commits faults; but
not every man has the honesty and
meekness to acknowledge his errors and
to welcome the orltlclsm which points
them. out to him. It Is rarely difficult
for us to find an excuse for our course,
if it is an excuse we are looking for. It
is, in fact, always easier to spring to
angry defense of ourselves than to
eamly acknowledge the justice of
another's righteous condemnation of
tome wrong action of ours; but to refuse
to adopt this latter courso, when we
know that we are in the wrong, is to
our own better consciousness, and often
to the consciousness of others, an essen
M defect in our character. He is
i'rong who dares confess that he is
Veak; he is already tottering to a full
iho needs to bolster up the weakness
khla personollty by all sorts of trans-
ent shams. It is not in vain that
rlpture says; "Reprove one that hath
erstandlng, and he will understand

i Of the possession of that discreet
judgment which stands at the basis

MEAT EATING AND MORALITY.
Onn Tolstoi's First Htmp In the ItKn
ration of Mankind.
I only desire to establish the proposi
tions that, in order to lend a moral life,
it is necessary to observe a cortaln se
quence in good actions; that if a man is
serious in his aspiration to lend a good
life tho practical manifestations of Unit
desire will necessarily unfold themselves
in a certain order, and that in thin order
the abstemiousness (self tnnstcry) is tho
first virtuo which he will have to culti
vate. In the pursuit of tho virtue of ab
stemiousness he must ngnin observe a
certain definite order, and the first step
therein will be abstcmlonsness in food
fasting.
In the practice of fasting tho first
thing from which he must abstain, if he
really and truly alms at leading a good
moral life, is animal food, and this for
the intelligible reason that, not to spcul:
of tho passions it engenders and fosters,
the consumption of animal fixsl Is plainly
immoral, because it demands an act
which does violence to our moral senti
ments vli.. mnrder and is encouraged
and kept up only by men's gried of gold
and their appetite for savory food. Tito
reason why the first step in fasting and
in right living Is abstinence from animal
food has been admirably formulate',
not by one man only, but by all man
kind in the itersonsof its most accredited
representatives during the course of hu
man history.
But why, one may ask, if the illegality
i. e., immorality of consuming animal
food has been recognized by mankind
for such a long poriod, have people never
theless persisted down to the present i.i
ignoring this law? This question natu
rally suggests itself to those who
prone to be guided less by the light f
their own reason than by public opinion.
The answer to the question, however, is
that all moral progress (nnd moral prog
ress is the essence of ull progress what
ever) is a work of time, is accomplish "'
slowly, but that the sign of genuit, ;
progress, as distinguished from casual
advance, is Its uninterrupted continuons
ness and its ever increasing rapidity.
The vegeturian movement ought to fill
with gladness the souls of those who
have at heart the realization of God's
kingdom npon earth, not because vege
tarianism itself is such an luitKirtai '.
step toward tho realization of this king
dom (all real steps are equally important
or nnimportaut), but because it Berves
as a criterion by which we know that
the pursuit of moral perfection on tho
part of man is genuine and sincere, in
asmuch as it has taken that form whit "
it must necessarily assume, and has truly
begun at the very beginning.
It is impossible not to rejoice at this,
just as it would be impossible for people
not to feel glud who, after having vainly
endeavored to reach the top of the house
by attempting to climb np the walls
from various sides, at last meet at the
bottom step of the staircase, and crowd
ing together there feel that there is no
way of reaching the top except by as
cending that staircase and beginniu.

Soma Old Newspapers.
The first Dutch newspaper, which Is
still continued under the name of th
Haarlem Conrant, is dated Jan. 8, 1606.
It was then called De Weecketycke
Courante van Europa and contained two
folio pages of news. The first Russian
newspaper was published in 1703. Peter
the Great not only took part personally
in its editorial composition, but in cor
recting proofs, as appears from shee
still in existence, in which are marks
and alterations in his own hand. There
are two complete copies of the first
year's edition of this paper in the im
perial library of St. Petersburg. The
first newspaper established in North
America was the Boston News-Letter,
commenced April 84, 1704. It was half
a sheet of paper, 8 by 13 inches, and
having two columns on a page. It sur
vived for rventy-two years and advo
cated the policy of the British govern
ment at the outbreak of the Revolution.
None of these newspapers ever said
anything about baseball, but they make
very interesting reading these days
nevertheless, and if you ever come across
any of them in your cellar, or under
your parlor carpet, or indeed anywhere,
yon will be a very wise person if you
take the best possible care of your find,
for a single copy of any one of these pa
pers is worth quite a hundred times the
price of a copy of today's paper, or to
morrow's either, for that matter. Har
