The aphoristic sayings of Solomon are repeated in Egypt, Arabia, Ilindoo Btan and the Inlands of the sea. They commend honor, justice, industry and virtue. Proverbial sayings are the com mon coin of the world and pass from one generation to another. The tones of the learned perish, but the pithy utter -ancts are immortal. "England expects every man to do his duty," "Don't give up the ship," "We've met the enemy and he is ours," "The king never dies," with other ap horistic sayings will live while history endures. But it was left for our own generation and our own great county of Cass to produce the greatest and grand est proverbial condensation of wisdom and beauty ever crystalized by the mind of mortal man, and Harry Race, the ac complished editor of the Weeping Water Eagle, is that mortal man. Here is his grat proverbial utterance: "The people of Plattsmouth are acting the hog in elegant shape." ' The editor of this paper rises to ask why is the wisdom of Solomon lauded to the skies when we have a man in Weeping Water who can produce such wisdom and still no person but the edi tor of this paper, is sounding his praises. THE I) 'A' 'FEAT OF PROHIBITION IN MASSACHUSETTS. Prohibition was defeated in Massa chusetts Monday. The result is not a surprise. In any community where the population largely resides in cities and villages such an outcome is to be ex pected. The population of Massachus ctts is more largely in cities aud vi.laget. than any state in the union, save perhaps Rhode Island. When one comes to con sider all the conditions the wonder is net that prohibition was defeated in Massa chusetts but that it should have received so many votes. A small state almost surrounded by states haying license laws it would not matter much how well the laws were enforced, provided prohibition had carried, there would have been little d'fficulty in obtaining liquor from the cities and towns in adjacent states. In deed this cause more than anything else has produced the trouble with enforcing the law in Rhode Island. Trains were run with reference to accommodating persons who might want to procure liquor in cities and towns outside the state. So that in this way the object ol the law was defeated and this led to a lack of enforcement in that state just as in Nebraska in license times it is a notor ious fact that a great deal of intoxicating liquor is sold in drugstores by the drink, jet comparatively little attention is paid to it for the reason that it is not generally considered that drunkenness is thereby increased as that all the liquor desired could be obtained at the licensed places should the drug stores be compelled to .obey the law. Then another reason that cG&liib.utcd to tUe defeat of prohibition in Masi ebusett as pointed out in dispatches to the press, was the vote of the farmers who have orchards and are in the habit of .making a good many pennies out of cider each year. For it must be conceded that the pucketbook is a pretty strong factor witn tke average American. InXebak however, conditions are entirely different from Massachusetts aud many other eastern states. Here the papulation in stead of being largely in cities is largely in the country. Farmers are not engaged in making cider, and hence their pocket book would not be affected in that way. .It is not claimed by sensible men that the Adaption or rejection of prohibition Tel.rjska is h"oing to affect the price ui grain; o no appeal can be made to the arming community to vote against pro hibition on the grounds of self interest. So oar whisky friead need not delude themsives by thinking that because pro hibition was defeated in Massachusetts It wi.ll be defeated in "Nebraska. Iowa a;ul J 14 3-4 arc instances more nearly in point. .In population etc., they are very similar tt Nebraska; and not stopping to argue at this ttcie whether or not prohi bition prohibits ia those states, at lenst this fact will be conceded, that no effort is making or em be made wkU y how of success looking to the repeal of pxQ-i hibition. Every move in tbe legislation tVere is in the direction of the enacting of stronger laws and the republican par-1 ity which is solely responsible for this, is imorc-strongly intrenched in power, if , possible, than ever before juding from he resale of the late elections. The , claim that prohibition injures in a bus iness way is not sustained. No state in the union has made more rapid progress than Kansas since her prohibitory law was enacted. And we have as good anti prohibition authority as the Hon. John A. McShane for saying that Pioux City, Iowa, is "booming along at a wonderful rate." It is a conceded fact that the prohibitory law is fairly well enforced in that city. The facts ai , that instead of grog shops adding to lae material pros perity of any community, they have an opposite effect. A city is not prosperous on account of saloons but in spite of them. After more than twenty years of statu tory prohibition Maine in 1884 by a vote of more than two to one adopted consti tutional prohibition. As in Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa, the population of Maine is largely in the rural districts. The vote in Massachusetts Monday, is no indication as to what the voto will be in Nebraska in Nov. 1800. The democratic papers are condemning Assistant Secretary Bussey for his liberal rulings in favor of pension claimants; but the patriotic people of the country will sustain him. It is a decided relief to know that we again have men in charge of pension matters who do not hold that every soldier who submits a claim should be regarded as a probable scoundrel. An Englishman has invented a bonnet which can be taken off in the theatre, folded up and used as a fan. So it is rumored. If the report can be substanti ated, that Englishman may as well pre pare t be canonized. He has proven himself to be a friend of mankind in the first degree. Since March 4 about 500 changes have been made in the Railway Mail Service; and the effect will soon be seen in the restoration of that important branch of the postal machinery to the cenditition of perfect efficiency in which it was left by the last republican administration. "Like sunshine in a shady place, The poet called a woman's face" Thut gladdened all who saw its beauty. A face, no doubt, that beamed with health That blessing which is more than wealth, Aud lightens every daily duty. O how can woman, whose hard life With a many a wearing pain is rife, Escape the giasp of such affliction, And be a power to bless and cheer? The answer comes both swift and clear Tuk Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the only medicine for woman's peculiar weaknesses and ailments, sold by drug gists, under a positive guarantee from the manufacturers, of satisfaction being given in every case, or money refunded. See guarantee printed on bottle-wrapper. The rascals are being turned out in round numbers every day. The exhausted and drowsy feeling, common to spring time, indicates an im pure and sluggish condition of the blood, which may be remedied by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It is the most powerful, and, at the same time, most economical blood purifier known. Plenty of feed, flour, graham meal at Heisel's mill, tf and To restore, thicken, and give you a luxuriant growth of hair, to keep its color natural as in youth, and to remove dandruff, use ozy Hall's Hair Renewer. The negro exodus from North Carolina has assumed large proportions. In consequence of winter diet and Jack of open air exercise, the whole phy sical mechanism becomes impaired. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the prcper remedy, in the spring of the year, to strengthen the ap petite, invigorate the system, and expel all impurities from the blood. REASO S Why Ayer's SarsapaIJIg preferable to any other is for the cure of Blood Diseases. Ileeanse no poisonous pr deleterious ingredients enter into tbe coiujoivUJB of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Ayer's Sarsaparilla contains only the purest and most effective remedial properties. cr Aypx's Sarsaparilla is prepared with extrec care, iKjJl; and cleanliness.

CROWDED PROFESSIONS. ADMONITION TO YOUNG MEN FROM ONE WHO IS EXPERIENCED. Difficulty of ChooMiig the liigtit lload. Tlila Ago Has No itoom lor the Non Froducer To Succeed Men Muat Work, Whether They Have Diploma or Not. Do you wonder then that, coming back to you after an experience of nearly thirty years in ouo of these overcrowded profes sions, 1 sound a note of warning against choosing a profession hastily, und caution you that, unless you bavo unusual endow ments and extraordinary luck, no matter which profession you may select, you will proljably find yourselves, in five years, much in tbe condition of the traveler who, coming to certain cross roods wbero the finger boards indicated four diiferent roads as leading to the place which be desired to reach, asked a countryman which was tbe best road, and was told: "Wall, stranger, ye kin jist take yer chice, but whichever on 'em ye take, bo fore ye'vo gone more'n a mile, ye'll be derned sure to wisbt ye'd taken some other!" If you could know how many, how very many, men in my profession are not earning, and never will earn, a decent living, al though many of them possess every quality deserving of success, except the power to command it; and how large a proportion of them do uot, and probably never will, earn as good a living as a flnst class carpenter, bricklayer or machinist could easily earn; if you could know, as you will know in ten or twenty years from now, how many college educated men have suffered, and will cou tinuo to suffer, shipwreck on tbe rocks that lie in the way of a professional career, you would understand why I have felt it to bo my duty to utter some words of warning for the benefit of those who have ears willing to hear. THEY NEVER WENT TO COLLEGE. Do not misunderstand mo. 1 have no thought of underestimating tbe great advan tages of a college education, for no college man is likely ever to do that; but 1 do warn you against the stumbling block of over estimating ics importance, and of supposing, as too many students did in my day, that a college diploma is of itself a species of titlo of uobility, tbe open sesame to fame and for tune, and that its holder, being too well edu cated to work, must necessarily adopt some profession. Remember that a very largo proportion of the most successful and illustrious men whom this country bos produced were not college educated men, and some of them did not even have the advantage of a fair common school education. Ten of the twenty-three presidents of the United States Washing ton, Monroe, Jackson, Van Duren, Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln, Johnson, Grant and Cleve land ; two of the chief justices of the supreme court of the United States the great John Marshall and John Rutledge; ten of the fif teen chief justices of the supreme court of Pennsylvania, Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry, Henry Clay, Washington Irving, John Greenleaf Whittier, Horace Greeley, Thurlow Weed, James Gordon Bennett, John Sherman, Allen G. Thurman, and hundreds of others whom 1 might mention, whose names are part of the history of this country, bad none of the opportunities which you ore enjoying. And probably not oue in ten of the self made millionaires of this country, the bank presidents, the merchant princes, the railroad kings, tbe great financiers, or the responsible editors of our great newspa pers, were ever inside of the doors of a col lege. Tbe world will not ask whether you have a diploma, but it will ask what you can do, and the only way that you can satisfy it rn that point is to do something that conclu sively demonstrates your capacity. Superior physical strength is no longer nt a premium, for machinery has Jo a. great cs tent taken its plaoo, but intellectual suji: i ority never commanded so high a pre;i:iui:: as it does today The man wbo is intelk-ciu ally but half an inch taller than his fellow men is bound to forge to the front. There never was an age in the history of the w: when there was so good a market for brains, but they must be the genuine article. The world is not easily humbugged, and the man who attempts to hoodwink it is bound to "get left." It wants scholars, not sciolists, poets, not poetasters; statesmen, not poii cians; jp yen tors, opt imitators. It demands, above all things, originality, ft will bo sat isfied with nothing loss than the very highest degree of excellence, in scholarship, in me chanical pursuits, in business, in literature and in each of tbe several professions. GOOD MATERIAL LN DEMAND. But there never was a time when the world was willing to pay such high prices as it will pay today for what it needs. 1 know law yers, doctors and editors with incomes of from S25.000 50,000 a year; but they are few, and they iVe "woith every doJJar that they get. Popular preachers command sal aries that make on average lawyer's mouth water. The author who can write books that will compel people to read them can get prices the tenth part of which would have mode Homer. Milton and Shakespeare bo nanza kings. Milton received 10 in his life time and his widow JES after his death for "Paradise Lost." Rider Haggard can today get lO.UOu'for & suagl sttfry pf 8Qq pages, and our leading magazines have paid popular authors as high as $100 a page. Scores of college graduates apply in vain every month for situations on newspapers, but let one of them write but ten, lines or even a bead line that indicates real talent for newspaper work, and he can immediately get a good situation ar;d can soon command a salary of $5,000. The man wbo pa-pc Wacamaker's advertise ments a few years ago was' paid $12,000 a year for that work, and any one who can write equally good advertisements can easily get ps good a salary to-morrow. But whatever Inivof utllcctual work you may resolve to do or whatever profession you may adopt, remember that ths secret of suc cess consists in doing thoroughly whatever you attempt, and in doing it better than any one else has ever done it. Xo man ever suc ceeded greatly in business, or politics, or lit erature, in law, or medicine, or preaching, in any othur way. Genius js tha happy faculty of selecting the particular kind of work for which one is specially fitted; of doing only that which oue can do best, and doing it tc tbe utmost measure of one's ability. There is no suon thing as genius which can accom plish great results without work. The story of it is a fairy tale, which self conceit tells as an apology for indolence and incapacity. JJelieye me, tbe world is not waiting for your graduation crown you with laurel wreatlis, or to Jay Jbe treasures pf fortune at your feet. Whatever measure of success you iiiay achieve must be won by patient toil anc' pre-eminent merit. Tbe only person whom this age has no room for is the non-producer; but there never can be a surplus of bread winners or ol brain workers who are worthy of the name. From Rufus EL Rhapley's Address Before the Union Philosophical Society of Dickinson College. That's a pretty bird, gramma," said Utie boy of this town. "Yes," rpliod 6be "and be never cries." "That's tiecause ho' never washed, " rejoined the youngster. , THE SOCIETY WOMAN OF TODAY. Thn That Are Sought After Are Not the iiii-. hut Women of .': or Out. 'The buds." sjiys U:ist::n, "are :i nine days wonder, iind an; much talked of for that ypaco of time, but it is tbe women past o0 who are the most interesting in Arneriea. They seem to have the K'ft of eternnl youth, ami at 00 are more agree able looking than tho women of any other country." Rustan's observation will surprise jeo ple whose sole knowledge of fashionable society i.-t derived from tho chroniclers of a quarter or half century back; but to tho onlooker, as well as to tho foreign traveler, it is patent that there is a great physical change in the American society woman as exemplified in New York. They hold their age in an astonishing and unprecedented manner and seem not to attain the zenith of their beauty till a point beyond which they are hope lessly passe. Men say that tho women of today are at :3 no older than they formerly were at 2o. and that there is a corresponding dilTcrence all along the line: that consequently they dress young er without incongruity, and that beyond and alove all this they have learned to grow old with grace, which means that they have at least recognized that it is futile to sham youth and have set them selves to develop wit, style and other at tributes which are permanent and may grow instead of lessen with time. In the time of our mothers and grand mothers, if the society chroniclers are a guide, a woman was considered old after 25. If she did not marry in her first season she was called a "relic" and made to feel in the way. And there was some reason for the raillery. Between then and now two things have happened. Health has become the fash ion and is sought for passionately and successfully. Clear skins, natural color, firm muscles, bright eyes and elastic steps are now the order of the day, and a woman who was once as transient as snow has become as permanent a.s her husband. That pretension to youthful ness is not now the common weakness is evidenced 13 tho fact that the humorous papers, which once found this the most fruitful subject for jests, have turned their attention to other foibles. With this change men's taste regarding women seems to have altered somewhat. Where once he admired the beauty of youth alone and was satisfied with dumb response to emotion, lie now demands a great deal more. The woman of today must make herself agreeable, not pas-' sively, but actively; she must be brilliant and witty, possessed of tact and able to entertain; must have tbe art of dresf ing, the knowledge of men, the art of flatter ing, must be, in short, a woman of the world with the liberal education which that implies. The day of the doll has passed away; the debutante is in no flurry to get married, and the yearling pasture is not the wife market; it was. It might le supposed that women who keep up a continuous round of dinners, ,in I,, , , operas anu onus wouiu iook ciraggexi om and weary and old before their time, but in reality they arc in the most splendid physical condition, l hey. are up.it is true, till the small hours of the morning, drinking champagne, dancing, convers ing and flirting, but this is their sole oc cupation, and t do.es not begin before 4 o'ehiek in the afternoon. The remainder of their time is spent in, tho pursuit of health. After a noon breakfast they drive, twice a week, to tho Turkish baths, and are steamed, pounded, plung ed and showered, shampooed and mani cured, and turned out as if new made from the hand of God. No other crea ture, unless it be thoroughbred racers, have such care given to their Iwdies as these women whose business ia society. Whatever science and art have discov ered and invented, or nature allotted, to give health and beauty, is commanded by them, until it is now beginning to be said, curiously, that the women are out lasting the men. The society woman depends greatly on luxurious bathing to renew her strength. The Turkish bath must be taken outside the home, but the bathrooms in soma of the wealthy houses gjv evidence by their coatlinet.3 and beauty of the part they play in the daily economy. New York Mail and Express. Be Prompt iu Appointments. The Manufacturer's Gazette thinks there is nothing more damaging to a business than to be found wanting in the matter of promptness in filling prders. A great rnfny firms will promise to have an order at a certain time, when they are confident in their own minds that it will be almost an utter impossibility to do so. This is done to secure the orders, but cannot fail of a damaging effect in the future. It is. just as important that an order be filled at the time agreed as hat any other engagement or appoint ment be kept. The man who arranges for a meeting with another at a certain time is expected to be on time. In these days of great enterprise and push, every business man has his time fully taker and promptness in keeping an appoint ment is an important matter to him Just so it is in filling orders. Prompt ness is as much to tho credit of a concern as is the quality of the work or the mate rial used. The Prescription. There was, some time ago, a doctor whose morning levees were crowded be yond description. It was his pride and boast that be could feel Ids patient's pulse, look at his tongue, probe at him with bis stethoscope, write his prescrip tion, pocket bis fee, in a space pf tiaiq varying from two to five minutes. One day an army man was khown into the consulting room, and underwent wliat may be called the instantaneous process. When it was completed the patient shook hands heartily with the doctor and said: "I am esjecially glad to meet you. as I liave often heard my father. Col. Fores ter, speak of his old friend. Dr. L." "What!" exclaimed the doctor, "are you Dick Forester's son: "Most certainly I am. "Jly dear fellow, tling that in fernal prescription into the hie and sit down quietly and tell me what's the mut ter with you." Murray's Magazine.
