Temperance In the South

Miss Frances E. Willard, President
of the Women's National Temperance
Union, who has been travelling
through all the Southern States for
some months, lecturing, says: "rhe
temperance achievement there is
fully equal to the same in the North,
and in several phases temperance
sentiment is in advance of ours. For
instance, as you know, We have twice
tried here in Illinois to pass the
Kinds bill, which assumes so6riety
as the normal state of society, and
permits the licensed sale Of liquors
only on petition of a majority or the
residents, male and female, twenty
one years Of age, within the ward
or township where sales are sought to
be made. But Arkansas has adopted
the material features of that bill.
Tennessee has lately put into opera
ton four. mile lawn liquor to be
sold within four miles of any incoT-
porated town. To get around this
local prohibition two hundred towns
have burnt their charters, and Judge
holding the criminal courts of FIVE
counties told me that since the adop-
ton of this law the crimes in court
have fallen of about tWo-thirGs, being
eleven where before there were thirty.
Kentucky enjoys effectusl prohibition
in many counties. South Carolina
approximstes prohibition, AMI North
Carolina will vote on prohibitory
amendment August 2. and present
hope of itsadoption is strong.

Hints About Eating Breakfast.

Having tested number of meals
in 8 general way, eating more of less
each time, find out as near as may
be what is the proper amount for a
meal. Begin with very light break
fast of ordinary food, such as you have
been accustomed to, and note the
number of hours you can 60 without
feeling q want of more food. For q
very light breakfast, one roll, a cup
OF coffee and very small piece OF
meest, three hours or less will be
found the limit. This is not offered as
rule but as a suggestion, for it
makes a vast difference what you do
during those three hours. A given
amount OF food will 60 further in
manual labor than in mental labor,
as brain work is more exhausting
than hand work. The next time try
8 little more. and in the course OF q
dozen breakfasts you will learn to
Judge pretty closely what you will
require to carry on your work till the
hour OF the next meal. Having
sound out just what you need, never
on any consideration take more.
Never mind how nice the steak, how
tempting any food may be. shut
right down on the whole eating busi-
ness the instant you have had enough
Too little can be repaired by eating
light lunch before the next meal. Too
much cannot be repaired, and you
must pay for the indiscretion. In sill
this there must be plain common
sense. Do not initiate the invalid
who kept a pair of scales on the
breakfast table to weigh his daily
bread. Eat and be satisfied, and
then stop.-Food and Health;

WJSDOM,S WAYS,

Forgiveness is the most refined and
generous point of virtue to which human
nature can attain. towards have done
good and kind actions but a coward
never forgave. 1t is not his nature.
He who can collect and arrange his
thoughts, to whom heaven has granted
dispassionate nature, who enters with
out hatred OF love into the great ques-
tions of this world with all rational be-
ings on his side, must gain the victory
or perish but, dying thus, at least he
dies in good company.
Advice is oftena well-meant intrusion.
More-no matter how excellent or how
much needed we may think it, it is worse
than thrown away when it is thrust upon
unwilling ears. The cases are rare where
it should be given unsought, and even
these often fail for want of delicate
management. Unless some degree of
confidence is established, it is utterly
worthless.
Except in very rare instances which
involve actual wrong-doing or very seri-
Gus injury, every promise should be
rigidly kept and every resolution scrup-
xlously carried out. Caution and re-
Election should precede every determine
ton, but should never be suffered q
subsequent freedom of interference.
When we have once decided, once re-
solved, once promised, suspense should
cease, and the action should be consider
ed virtually done.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

Lightning is kindled in tie thunder.
storm by raising tracks Of material sub.
stance scattered along it's path into a
state of sparkling incandescence, and it
is in this particular identical in nature
with the ordinary electrical spark. The
light, however, which strikes in either
case upon the eye endures for an almost
inconceivably brief interval of time. II
has been shown that the duration of the
spark which issues from the prime con-
ductor of an electrical machine does not
exceed the millionth part of a second.
But very delicate and complicated ex-
pcriments have had to be devised to
prove that such is the case, because
when q quite instantaneous impression
Of light has been made upon the human
eye, the effect remains as a vital sensa-
ton for something like the fifth part of
a second after the illuminating impulse
has ceased. 1t is for this reason that a
burning stick whirled round in the dark
presents itself to the eye as a continuous
circle of fire. If the stick is made to
circle round so quickly that it returns
back to the same position in the circle
five times every second, the impression
OF each successive luminous impulse
originating in that part is produced up
on the eye before the Immediately pre-
ceding impression has died away.

PREVENTING EXPLOSIONS,

BY means of an electric indicator, re.
Gently invented abroad, the water level
in any boiler may be ascertained at any
distance from the latter. This useful
apparatus consists of an indicating tab,

may be placed in any part of the estab-
lishmcnt, and connected with the cleo
trio Indicator, which is fixed at the top
of vertical tube above the boiler.
Wires and platinum plates are SO
arranged that when the water in the
boiler sinks to certain point an cleo
trio current is established which rings a
signal, while at the same time the sign
slow water appears on the indicating
tablet thus conveniently insuring
against danger.
