No ''Heel-Taps'' for the sBoyg.

!
The first temperance meeting that
can now remember was held near NV
early home when I was about eight years
old. Up to that time the habit Of drink
ing and of Offering intoxicants was fear
fully prevalent among the farming COM
munity. Nearly every farmer gave it TO
his hired hands, especially in the harvest
time. Nearly every head of family had
hard cider on his table, and often ''treat-
ed bis visitors to some Intoxicating bev-
erage. Whiskey,to All unlimited amount,
was consumed at all the country taverns,
and drunkenness abounded. w hen a
raising or a moving bee = or any rural
gathering took place there was plenty Of
hard drinking; the Weak-headed often
went home tipsy. ii
We boys were tempted by the sight
and the smell of it; az tho old cocks
crowded the young ones learned. re-
call an incident that occurred in the
home of my excellent grandfather, with
whom 7 lived The old getleman was III
the habit Of Offering liquor to his guests.
One day after he had been treating some
visitors to some very choice scherry

liquor in their glasses or what topels
call aheel-taps." gratiied my curiosity

Useless Expenditure.

At funerals and weddings, as conduct
ed nowadays, money is literally wasted
IN ostcntations display. which is always
objectionable, hut particularly so at fu-
neras Very often. too, they involve ex-
penses which the survivors are poorly
able to meet, and which entail distress
and sometimes aishoaor. Sail, the nat
ural feeling that impels the lavishing OF
honor upon the newly dead is very
strong aud hard to be controlled. Too
often the conscience of the survivor
smites him for his neglect or wrong Of
the dead while living, and ne wishes to
make compensation "Tt is the last
thing that can be done, let us do il well -
is the thought. But. this feeling should
be kept within proper bounds. an evil
aence of good sense is to be seen in the
growing simplicity of our wedding Ies-
tivals. 1t is becoming considered in rather
had taste to permit, at the weddings even
of our most wealthy people, the profuse
displays, either of apparel, jewelry or
bridal presents, that were deemed the
correct thing few years ago. A quiet,
elegant but inexpensive wedding is now
becoming the RUE, in the best circles.

In May, 1902, q weaver of Nottingham
brought home loin Of veal and told his
wife to cook il for dinner. As he did not
return to that meal, she put tie veal
aside untouched. In the evening he
came back and gave her steak to pre-
pare tor him, saying that he did not care
for the veal then. After eating the steak
be complained of horrible pains. and
finally died Of commissions. The meat
DC had brought in the morning he had
rubbed with poison. hoping that his
wife would eat it, and she had fried the
steak in the dripping OF The dish intend
ed for her 6e,truction.
When the royal George sank at Spit
head the men had just been paid off. and
q 2sst amount Of money wenl down with
the wreck. Years afterward, two divers.
employed in removing the remnants of
the lll-tated ship from the barbor. found
tin case full of so7ereigns. Both seized
1t and struggled for its possession, until
one contrlyed to smash the window in
the others helmet. The unfortunate
man was drowned. and in hauling his
body % the surface, il became entanolsd
with the ATTITUDE Of the other and broke
1t. Tbs murderer was found dead beside
the treasure he had wrestsd from his VIC
tim, whose fate he had shared.
A singular case of retribution occurred
In France ten years ago & man named
Dutaure was manu- tacturer, in a small
way, of essential oils for perfnmers at
Venice, the center of the French flower
country. He was considered well-to-do.
but in reality was on the verge of bank
ruptcy. His brother, on the contrary.
a bachelor Of fifty, was a very rich man,
having accumulated over million francs
as a contractor at Buenos Ayres and
Montevideo. Since his return he had re-
sided with Dufaure, and had made will
III favor OF the iatter's son. When the
pertumer found himself on the brink of
ruin, he determined to retrieve his for
tune at the expense OF his opulent broth
er. That person was devoted sports
man, and spent most OF his time abroad
with his gun or his sshing-rod. One
evening when returning from one Of his
excursions, he was startled by the dis
charge OF gnn in the thicket bordering
the road, and the whizzing OF the bullet
past his head. He took to flight, and as
he ran he heard the sound Of second
shot. The searching party, which he
sent out on his arrival at his brothers
house, found the body OF the perfamer
In the bushes from which the discharge
had been made. From the condition of
the corpse, it as evident, that Dufaure
had aimed the second shot at the flying
man, When the gun exploded and blew
his own head to pieces.
