Avoid Wine,

There is one obvious and overshadowing in
huence which does more than all other in
fuencos combined to seduce the young from
sobriety to drunkenness. We refer to the con
ventional and absurd custom of making the
swallowing of some intoxicating drink one of
the rites of hospitality, and one Of the stereo
typed courtesies of social life So pcrvading,
so resistless, SO effective, SO fruitful of evil, SO
remorseless is this social custom in our own
land, that it deserves to be known as the
Fountain of Drunkenness. Its fatal power
for evil lies in the fact that il meets every boy
and every man in his weakest hour, and tempts
him "a, tfSS - his .SfGstt Ipd Eeoand -dEink-and,
that dono, q thirst Is kindled within which
renders outside social pressure NO longer
necessary, and the tempted one is added to the
army Of drinkers and of tenpters: From
high to low, through all classes and all CON.
ditions, the moment man has himself become
an occasional or moderate drinker, that mo-
ment he feels bound by this ensIaying custom
to say to every friend he meets or cntertains
beneath his roof, and TO evory stranger to
whom no is introduced, "Come and take some
thingW This is not always the form of the
invitation, but the meaning and the result are
the same. And in most instances these So
licitations to drink are given in manner and
under circumstances which render a refusal
difficult and embarrassing. Indeed, any man
who has had occasion to do both things, will
testify thatit often requires more moral courage
to decline glass of wine than face battery
of artillery. A "code of honor" prevails in
many drinking circles which regards refusal
to drink as personal affront to the one offer
ing the "courtesy" Probably the most
horrible and damaging charge that could be
made against society man in fashionable
quarters, would be, "He refused wine from
lady !"-ErchaHge.

as to authorize the use of such forces to aid

SWEEPING CARPETs.-If the brooms arc
wet in boiling suds once a week, they will
become very tough, will not cut the carpet,
last much longer, and always sweep ike new
broom. A very dusty carpet may be cleaned
by setting pail Of cold water out by the door,
wet the broom in it, knock it to get off all
drops, sweep yard or SO, then wash the broom
as before and sweep again, being careful to
shake all the drops of the broom, and not TO
sweep far at time. If done with care it will
clean carpet very nicely and you will be sur
prised at the quantity Of dirt in the water
The water may need changing once or twice If
the carpet is very dusty. Snow sprinkled
over carpet and swept of before it has time
to melt and dissolve, is also nice for renoyating
a soiled carpet. Moistened Indian meal is
used with good effect by some housekeeperS.

OLD NEwsPAPERs.-Many people take
newspapers, but few preserve them; the most
interesting reading Imaginable is q file Of old
newspapers. 1t brings up the very age with
all its genius-and Its spirit, more than the
most labored description of the historian
Who can take a paper dated half century
ago, without the thought that almost every
name ever printed is now cut on a tombstone
at the head of an epitaph? The doctor
(quack or regular) that there advertised his
sable train of his patients-the merchant his
ships-and the actor, who could make others
laugh or weep, can now furnish skull for
his successors in Hamlet. It is easy to pre-
serve newspapers, and they will repay the
trouble, for, like wine, their value increases
with age.

: Skating for Life.

A story is told of man who came upon
pack of hungry wolves while skating in an
overfowed forestin the Northwest. He threw
aside his gun and overcoat and whizzed away
for dear life.
1t soon became apparent that he could not
hope to get such clear run as to put on top
speed, and SO leave them behind; but was a
practised skater, dab at the fancy work
acquired at the rinks, where people skate for
pastime, and learn to be elegant and swan like.
His outer edge and figure saved him. On
came the wolves full pelt, their hot breath
reaching him just as be put on desperate
spurt, when which J he few round beautiful
circle, and the shaggy wretches, carried on by
their own tremendous impetus, were long
way in front, while he went gliding on in a
contrary direction. Over and over again did
he practice this manouvre ir small circles till
the wolves themselves, bafied, and in their
rage swapping and biting at each other, began
to flag, and to think that after all they were in
chase of the shadow of mana hungry
dream of human flesh. Round and round
went the skater still, with cool head and
clenched fist, working nearer and nearer home,
until at last, in the clearing of the forest, the
pursuers gave up, and, with a howl of disap-
pointment, fed into the thickets.
