This was the beginning of an address
ofS. Stacey before the cadets of temper
ance, regalia of blue and red in long
lows on the settees in Franklin Hall, in
South Brooklyn, yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was held under the aus
nices of the Sons of Temperance, and it
had been announced that Mr.. Stacey,
having given up his drinking place in
Fifth avenue, New York, would give his
experience.
"For eleven years l sold liquor" he
said. 81 had one Of tie handsomest sa-
looms in New York. Some said it was
the best saloon in the city. If it was
the best, God help the poorest. | can
recall 90 customers, each worth from
100000 to 100000, and only two Of
them now are able to buy dinners for
themselves. TO you, cadets of temper
ance, I would advise that you take
glass of prussic acid sooner than a glass
Of liquor. If you must die, it is better
to die at once. If gospel friend ever
takes you by the arm and seeks to re-
strain you from drinking, don't turn and
say to him:
'"I know what I'm doing; be kind
enough to mind your own business" %"
"Pve seen young men stand at my
bar with this blue ribbon on the lapels
Of their coats drunk. No no., these
young men would say, 'Pyestaken the

Protection against Lightning.

A correspondent writing to the Journal
of 1elegraphy argues that the connec-
ton of lightning rods with the ground
should be enlarged in the proportion
that the rod is aAbetter conductor than
the ground. This would require an
enormous expansion of the rod under
ground, but we have long been convinced
that this is the point at which lightning
rods generally fail to protect. The same
writer says: "After thirty years observa-
ton, I have never known of a case where
the occupants of house were injured
when the building was fitted with gas or
water pipes. The buildings are sometimes
set on fire by the electricity passing from
the rod, or metal roof to the gas or
water pipes, but without injury to any
person below the highest point to which
these pipes extend" He adds in con-
clusion: "Gas and water pipes are the
best lightning rods ever erected, because
they are in perfect electric connection
with the earth" We may add-hghtning
rods should, when possible, be connected
with gas and water tubes. If neither are
used in the building, the connection
should be made with the mains in the
street, if in city where gas mains are
laid An extensive ground connection is
the point to be gained to insure safety

4 Noble Example.

Mrs. Robert L. Stuart is at the head.
of the cooking school, What a noble
example this woman gives the public!r
Her husband is worth 1000, 900, but
this does not relieve her of the claims of
duty. She takes an interest in social
advance, and therefore lends her influence
to the improvement of the culinary art
The Stuarts have always been useful
family, and though limited to two genera
tions, they have done enough to immor-
talize the name. The father came from
Edinburg bankrupt in purse, fleeing
from his creditors, but rich in purpose
and courage. He opened cent candy
shop and worked fifteen hours, day,
until the creditors were paid in full. The
amount was Ell 500, equal to $500, but
money was then worth double its present
value The sons inherited the business,
which they made immensely profitable,
and they shared their profits literally
with objects of benevolence. They have
been among the leading philanthropists
of the day, and their benefactions in the
aggregate are probably more than a
million. Mrs. Stuart now gives what is
really of more value than money, when
she takes the presidency of cooking
school. This feature in education has
been sadly neglected, and it is time a
reformation took place.-NeaO York Cor.

Bread.

A large meeting lately was held at the
Town Hall, Kersington, in England,
under the auspices OF the Bread Reform
League, to advocate the universal use OF
what is technically known as 'wheat
meal bread" DIR. B. w. Richardson,
the well-known authority on hygiene,
presided. One of the speakers MAIN
tanned that the bread in common use
was 40 per cent deficient in sustaining
qualities. An entire grain of wheat con-
tanned everything that was required for
nourishing purposes, and yet the better
half of it was wasted, and this half was
much healthier food, especially for
children. A white loaf, in fact, was only
half loaf, for a large portion of the
material that formed muscular flesh, and
nearly all that formed bone, were taken
from it. Children fed on white bread
were very liable to suffer rickety bones,
consumption, and bad teeth, because
their food did not nourish them properly.
The outward whiteness of the flour
might be considered an outward sign OF
the starvation within. One shilling s
worth of wheat meal bread contained
three times the fesh-forming, seventy
| times the heat-producing, and three
times the bone-forming material to be
found in shilling's worth of beefsteak.
DR.. Richardson maintained that if the
mothers of the United Kingdom were to
give their families whole meal, which
contained the structure of the skeleton;
in from three to four generations all the
deformities of children, not caused by
accident, which they now saw, would
pass away, as by the hands of an inyisi-
Bile enchantress.

Ivan Petroff, who was sent out last May to
lake the census -of~ Alaska, has returned to
Washington. He Travelled to Attoon, the
treme western boundary of the, Aleutian
Island, northward to Morton Sound, up the
Yucatan River 800 miles, overland and by canoe
to Kodiak, getting all the population west Of
Sitka and north of Prince Williams Sound.
The population of the southeastern portion Of
Alaska was to be taken by deputy. who has
not yet reported. Petrof's enumeration of
Alaska aggregates about "a, 900, of which about
Is, 900 are Indians, 1900 Aleuts, 1,5OO Creoles
or mixed Russian and Aleut blood, 128 white
males, and four females. The largest popula-
ton in any one center is at Kodiak and the ad-
jacent island, where there are about 2, 200,
principally Indians, Aeuts and Creoles, with a
few whites. In addition to the above popula-
ton i'll Alaska, Captain Smith, ice pilot of the
revenue steamer Corwin, counted 1900 Esqui-
maux between Behring Straits and Point Bar
row. 1t is estimated that Alaska contains
about 80, 900 human beings, of whom possibly
300 are whites.

Suicides are an ordinary thing, but OCCASION
ally one occurs that is, more remarkable than
another. Mr.. Hayden II. Shouse, talented
young lawyer Of Henderson, KY, and at one
time Commonwealth Attorney in that Dis
trict, after protracted spree in Louisville,

TO the act he had been gambling heavily, and
lost $1,000. Returning to tho hotel he bor-
rowed s3 Of the clerk, bought morphine, got
shaved, hair cut and shampooed, blacked his
boots, and prepared all his clothing for death.
He then addressed letter to the hotel clerk in
the following Language: iTn1rND LEM-Imme-

Mr.. Shouse was found in his room afterwards
IN an unconscious condition, and being revived,
the doctor asked him why he wanted to die.
Said he; "Ah, that's my business" All efforts
TO restore him, however, were fruitlcss, and he
died the next morning. He leaves wife, with
whom he had always lived happily, and four
