IT was very neat game that the crusaders
played upon the Iowa editors during the an
nual convention al Clinton. The work, what
little there was, had been finished, and the
editors were making preparations for stu
pendous spree, when band of women APP
peared upon the scene and implored the quill
drivers to come out squarely in favor of tenn
perance. remarking that 'the drops of ink
that tremble upon the points of your pens
have in them the power to elevate humanity
or crush out its God-like features.' The
newspaper men were greatly surprised, for
the only member Of the gentle sex upon
whose co npany they had counted was the
widow Clcquot; but the ink drop piece of elo-
quence was too much for them, and they

the corks undrawn. 1t is said a sadder set of
men were never seen in Iowa. it

A New use has been discovered for chloro-
form. A gentleman in Fulton, New York,
saw boy drowning in the river. He jumped
in and seized him, but the boy struggled SO
that both were in danger of perishing. The
rescuer happened to think of bottle of
chloroform in his pocket, took it out, admin
istered some to the struggling youth and then
took the unconscious form ashore. The
moral is that whenever you see a person
drowning you must hasten to the nearest
druggists shop and get vial of chloroform.
Then Jump bravely into the water and rescue
the sinking man. About an ounce is the
dose for an adult.

SUMNER REcREATIoN.-A correspondent of

Chicago merchants in search of summer recre-
alton:
Let me suggest route that cannot but prove
a delightful one to a Westerner. Starting from
Boston by way of the Eastern Railway, we first
visit the White Mountains. then spend few
days at Old Orchard and Rye, not forgetting
the delightful islands in Casco Bay. From
Portland via the Maine Central, I'VE visit Moose
head Lake, now becoming famous, and thence
to Bangor, where we take the European &
North American Read to st. John. !. From
here there are thousand new and beautiful
scenes for the tourist to visit-scenes that will
wei repay the tourist. From st. John we
visit Halifax and the wonders of the Riviere
du Loup, and thence to Quebec and via the St.
Lawrence home. Try it, you business men of
Chicago, and you will find upon your return
home that you have gained new vigor and new
life that will enable you to fight the battle of
life with new strength
