The average educated man gets a salary of $1,000 a year. He works forty years, making a total of $4C 000 in a lifetime. The average day laborer gets $1.50 a day 300 days in a year, or $450 in a year. In forty years he earns $18,000. 'The difference, or $22,000, equals the valuation of an education. To acquire this earning capacity requires twelve years at school of 180 days each, or 2,160 days. Divide $22,000 by 2,10 and it is found that each day at school is worth a littlo mow than $10 to the pupil. -U. C. Coles in Storms and Signs, A man may be remarkable and not great ; worthy of study, and ynt con temptible. Russell Sage, multi-millionaire and miser, Ib dead, leaving his millions behind bim. Here was a man who represented to a great degree the modern spirit of money-greed. Ninety years of life were spent in getting gold. "A good man cannot have too much money," is a maxim imputed to him. .He saved for the proverbial "rainy day" which never came ; saved on principle with no other object but to possess. He gave nothing to charity, hardly gave even unto himself. "Fifty cents is enough for a straw hat," said this man of many millions. And while tottering on the brink of the grave could yet lament the fact that uttier men liked to bave a little pleasure as they lived and take a vacation now and then. "Vaca tions are unnecessary and unjust to employers," growled Sage. It is little wonder that with such ignoble minds dominating the world, people should turn to the life of socialism. Dozens of young men are idle in thU community, says the Northwestern Chronicle. Many of them are Idle because they c-in't find work of any kind. More mi- irlle because they can't find work that suits them. The trouble ' Is that there are too many men of the latter kind. They havii certain pride that demands a ancy job ; but idleness ought, to a right kind of pride, be even more gall ing thap employment, even if it be beneath tbem. The reason so many young men of your acquaintance "don't get on" is because of their babit of indulging in spells of idleness. An idle young fellow Is going to school to a master whowill soon graduate him into the army of "no (food for anything." He acquires a loafing spirit, a sloucby manner and an utter lack of perseverance. An honest labor, even though the pay Is poor and even though they be fitted for higher pursuits, is preferable to idleness. A young man cannot hope to get on in the world if, between the ages of 20 and 35 he spends about a fourth of his time throwing up one job while waiting for another. Steadiness, industry and perseverance are what compel success. It is odd that at the very moment the movement for "woman's rights" is reaching a olimax in England, with fair prospects of being granted suffrage, there should be a reaction against the Crowing influence of women in American business life. For a decade past there has been a tendency to supplant male by female help in office and professional work wherever possible, In the belief that women were better fitted for the work and in many instances could be retained for less salary. The experi ment has been tried i woman bas not proven a failure, neither bas she ex ceeded expectations. She bag simply held things" even. In business, stability is deBired but stagnation is failure. For lack of ambition, of originality, of . "energy, woman seems doomed to defeat in the marts of trade. In the last few months several of the largest corpora tions In the land have issued orders that in future when employing clerical help, preference shall be given to men. The action is justified by the brief statement that meu as a class possess the ambition women lack and that this desire to succeed and advance is the most vital element of modern business success. For a generation women have been drifting from the home to the office ; His just possible that this marks the beginning of ber return to her ancient and proper sphere in the home.

Through the lib-iallty of m.-inber and friends, two Methodist. Episcopal churches on the Sykesville charge were dedicated to the service of God Sunday, July 29th, free of dbt and with a little surplus to apply on interior furnishings. At the Bollinger appointment a neat and commodious wooden structure had been erected at a cost of $1,500. It will seat 175 people comfortably and Sunday was barely large enough to accommo date the audience that gathered to hear Dr. A. R. Rich, the presiding elder, preach and make the dedicatory prayer. Love feast was also conducted by the Rev. J. C. McEntlre, of Reynoldsvllle. Preparatory services bad been held Saturday afternoon and evening in charge of Dr. Rich and Dr. J. A. Par sons, of this place. When tlw nervine commenced at 10 o'clock Sunday nwrn Ing there was about $I30n-edt ri t" e.ii-nr the debt incurred for building. When the soliciting wat over $200 had tvi-n raised, half of which was in cash. It is proposed to invest the extra money In an organ. The church at Sandy Valley was not new, but over $300 worth of repairs had been made and it .bad never bemi for mally dedics ted to the uses of Method ism. The pastor, Rev. R C McMinn. and Rev. J. Bell Neff, of DuBols, had charge of the services and a large num ber of people were present. Dr. Neff preached the dedication sermon and, after $346 bait been pledged, enneecrated the church. Only about $250 was ac tually needed and the balance will be used for other church purposes.

CIGAR S AHD5T n Important News for Smo&ers Here's the National Cigar Stands' Proposition Some 2,000 American druggists (the undersigned in cluded in the number), have united in a new plan for con ducting the cigar branch of their business. Heretofore, each store has bought its cigars independ ently; usually from jobbers and in quantities necessarily small. The prices paid were loaded with from four to six unnecessary profits and were always on a small-quantity basis besides. Now, these 2,000 stores have concentrated tteir cigar buying power in a single, co-opcr- atife concern the National Cigar Stands Company. These 2,000 stores Constitute The Greatest Retail Cigar Outlet On Earth and the National Cigar Stands Com pany which must provide them with cigars, becomes the largest single customer for tobacco ever known in the history of the cigar business. The commercial advantage of a large purchasing power is well-kncwn. The National Cigar Stands Company takes at once a masterful position in the tobacco market. It can, and does, own its own brands, control its own factories, make its own prices. In all this it merely acts for the drug gists who own it, and each store gets the full bi-ycfit of all the advauuiges acquired and all the savings effected. SOME N.CS.

The distribution from producer to retailer being direct, there is no expense for jobbers or traveling salesmen. There is little or no rent to be charged on the prices of cigars by National stands and no extra salaries for salespeople. In brief, the cigars come to the National stands freed of all middlemen's profits and can be sold practically free of expense. Letwcen producer and smoker there are but two small profits instead of the usual four to six big ones.
