Starts to Riches by Doughnut Route. New York, March 14.--One of the most successful New York business wo- men got the money to start her en- Woman Trade Mark terprise by making doughnuts at Nome, Alaska, three and a half years 0. In a single summer season she made $10,000 in her little tent restau- rant. The doughnuts sold for twenty- five cents a piece with a cup of coffee thrown in. Part of this $10,000 judiciously in- vested formed the nucleus for her pres- ent profiedBle. business of cleaner and dyer of women's fine wearing apparel. on Ale, Porter or Lager is an absolute guarantee of purity, age and quality. She has expert foremen to attend to the factory part of the work and runs two shops.

She was a thorough New England housewife, and set great store in cooking. knew that the materials for doughnuts cost less than the materials for any other sort of cake. 1 heard that the peo- ple of Nome were crymg out for something good to eat, and a friend lent me the money to go there and t the necessary tent, stove and other E nishin, s for starting business. "At that time miles of tents strung along the beach and extending back in rows as the houses in a city block are arranged. 1 planted my tent poles in a central place, and from the first had all the custom [could 'tend to. "Soon I had to get assistants to help serve and keep the cash, but the frying of the doughnuts I trusted to no hands but my own. If the frying isn't dope in lard actually at boiling heat a doughnut, hawever well made or of whatever good material, will be soggy and tough. And I wanted my standard kept up.

Kingston, March 11.--(To the Edi- tor): 'the following. paragraph ap- pears inthe Whig of Friday the 6th: "A clergyman in Prescott declined the gift of $26 from the distiller for the good 'of the . Question, is the money of the distiller and brewer not potent for good ! ls the money itself not capable of helpful applications re- gardless of who contributed it? Did not the clergyman -aforesaid make & serious mistake To the first everyone will answer in the affirma- tive, but because they will it dora not necessarily follow that the clergyman made a mistake, and therefore at the third question. you will find many answer in the negative. This question of which we here have, a concrete ex- ample is agitating the minds of a good many people in the world to-day, as 1 have no doubt it has done in the past; and | am well aware that it can- not be settled definitely by debate or argument, for individuals will look at it from various. view points, but there can be no harm in discussing it. First then; let us look at questions asked, specifically; and secondly, we shall consider the subject generally. "Is the money of the distiller and brewer -not potent for good !' Yes® Suppose one asks. ls the money of the thief and robber not potent for peod? Yes. Where is the difierence in princi- ple involved ! Would you accept the money of the thief and robber, and thereby say to him go and steal some more and come and give it to me for the very laudable purpose of helping the poor. We think not. You would the thief and robbers arrested, the money taken from him and re- stored to the rightful owner, and nev- er think for a moment of how much good the money would do for the poor. But, you say the brewer and distiller is not a robber. He gets his money lawfully ? Doesn't he ? That de- pends, upon your view point. The brewer? and distiller gets permission to carry on his business from the state, and to that extent it is a law- jul business. But is that the end of the law ? What about moral law or the law of righteousness, which is the higher law ? Considered in. the light of this higher -law is the brewer's busi- ness lawful ? If the traffic in strong drink is considered immoral and un- righteous then the money obtained by it is not obtained lawfullv and can- not be accepted for even sweet chari- ty's sake any more than that of the thief and robber. It is not our purpose in this letter to condemn the liquor traffic, but to get at some principles that lie 'at the base of the a ting or receiving - of gifts for philanthropic purposes. It is sufficient for us to know at present that there are many clergyman and others who believe that the business is an unrighteous one, and as the cler- gyman stands for righteousness and the moral law, he cannot consistently accept of its money. This we take to be the attitude of the Prescott clergv- man and from this point of view, has he made such a very "serious mis- take ?" "ls the money itself, not capable of helpful applications regardless of who contribu it?' Yes. But a man never touches money, receives it or gives it without imparting Character to it. "Thy money," said Peter, "'per- ish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money." Thought is the 'most "potent" power in the uni- verse, not money, as too many are inclined to think in this commercial and material age. Be careful how your thoughts are influenced by the gift of money. Could the clergyman accept the dis- tiller's 'money "for the good of the poor" and. then in his pulpit zeal ously condemn the business as if he had rejected the money ? If the ac- cepting of the money was the end of the matter and the clergymen's pow- er to influence for righteousness was not lessened thereby we would say take it regardless of who contributed it, but the fact of his rejecting the gift shows that such would not be the case. The lips of too many clergy- men, and others whose business it is to mould opinion, to educate, and develop character are sealed by the gifts of money gotten by unrighteous methods. Freedom of thought speech_is the most precious heritage of man, without it no progress in _re- form can be made and anything that interferes with it is a serious enemy. We should be carefull. to have no rice set upon our freedom. Accept no gifts that will seal or tend to seal our lips against expressing what we conceive to be the truth. Churches are built, libraries are founded, and colleges are endowed with money obtained through unjust economic systems. Then the elders, the trustees and all others comnectad with these institutions are bound to stand for the systems that brought them in- to existence and keep them alive, and thus the power of Mammon is fasten ed upon the world, and social 1 justios unknown. Let us have more men like the Prescott clergyman who will stana for this gemeral principle, 10 wept no money as & gift for amy purpose that would cause you to sequiesce in or condone systems that you believe and know to be uprighteoum Better that a few, nay many, should perish through hunger and cold, than that the world should be enslaved to the God of gold.--S.

Among individual examples of matrimonial longevity that of James Nichalse fun, Gothen, NY. may cited. tor-preacher- author married * thirteen wives and lived to be 99. To what extent did ench of his contribute to his length of years ? Presumably an amiable wife would add a year where a Xantippe might cut off one. It is a normal act for a man to marry a wi than him- self. Saige collected in Germany show that 1,000 bridegrooms only 89 chose "women older than them- selves. A difference of 60 vears is, of" course, wholly abnorisl, Tn New York city in one year, the number of couples married in whose ages there was a disparity of twenty years or more, wae S18; but among these there were few in whom the difference ex- ceeded 40 years. Doubtless: the oontrolling impulse with. women who marry 'mon greatly older than - themselves is money; an examination of some sixteen cases re- ported in the World indicates as much. Yet there have been import ant sentimental exceptions. Senti- ment was ~ the motive that led Ida Krichel, 16, of Allentown, Pa., to marry Jacob Dorsey, 60, though by so doing she became her own grand: mother. Agnes May, 20, who married William Cheney, 70, of Bowling Green, 0., was the grandohild of his first love, and for that reason romantical: ly inspired toward him. Nellie White, 22, who became the wife of Zerah Pomeroy, 89, of Meridod, Conn., was a grandchild of his first sweetheart's sister. The way of the man with the maid in these cases was an appeal to the romance in her nature. = The First Law Book. The well-k n Amsyriologist, Dr. Hugo Winckley, hag published an ac- vount of the ation promulgated so far as is kmown at presént, was the first book of laws ever given to the world. King Amrapbel lived 2,250 years B, C., is mentioned in the Bivle as a contemporary of Abraham, so that his statutes were drawn up fully five centuries before the laws of Moses. They number 282, and contain tle following : "If a woman who sells bever gives had value for the money paid to her, she shall he thrown isto water. "If a wile he a spendthrift, or if she otherwise neglect her. duties, ber hus- band may put her away withqut com- pensation; but if a man put away his wife for no other reason that that she has no children, he shall return ber whole dowry.

Extraordinary Extravagance of a New York Woman. It is enough to make even the most extravagant daughter of Eve exclaim to learn that a New York sogiety wo: man recently paid $1,660 for a single hat, says The Philadelphia Ledger. The hat was ordered from a Fith ave- nue milliver who has managed to se cure the cream of society's custom. The price originally named for it' to the intending purchaser was $1,800, but it was nd that less material was required than first anticipated, oud 3100 was deducted from the esti- mate, Four Russian sable skins, absolutely flawless and of the finest quality pro- curable, were used in the making. The largest of the skins, all of which were of the costly East Siberia quality, measured fourteen inches in. Jangth, fine In texture very glossy. The hat frame was a big flare, roll- (ed slightly on the left side. Great { skill was required in covering it with {the fur in the most artistic manner | and without the aid of scissors, There was no trimming whatever except in the sable tails, which were utilized to the best possible advantace. When it was finished everv emnloye in the millinery establishment took turns in visiting the workroom to have a peep at it, and every one from the head woman, who is strugeling along oni a salary of $100 per week, to the' little errand girl, who feels 8- ing rich on her weekly stipend of $9, had, some opinion to voice as to its beauty. It was altogether a mew ex- perience to see a triumph of their art disposed of at a figure over the thous- and dollar mark, even in that palace of high prices, and their excitement was on par with the record-breaking price. EN When the hour for trying on the hat was st hand considerable trepidation was felt by the head milliner. If the customer did not like it, the matter would take on a serious. aspect, and if it had to be remodelled much trouble would result. But all fears proved groundless. The purchaser exp unqualified approval of the effect, and the entire staff of saleswomen agreed with her in thinking it was vastly be coming.
