A New England Prescription.

There are great many Incorporate
persons who would like to become tenn
perate; but the over-ruling love of the
taste of liquors conquers all their good
resolutions, and again and again they
fall.
Many years ago there lived in New
England large family of children, the
mother of whom, when any sickness
occurred, obliged the invalid to swal-
low dose of castor oil in port wine
wine was never used for any other pur
pose in that family; and the bottle
labelled port wine was horror to each
child.
The family grew and separated, 60
ing to all parts of the Union. / have
taken pains to trace each member, and
not one of them had any inclination to
drink intoxicating liquors. 1t has been
no effort for them to be temperate, their
stomachs loathe the taste.
Would it not be well for those affiict-
ed with the ''vice or disease" of in
temperance, who desire a cure TO try
the New England prescription?-San

and must not be accredited as an all
ment for all the little ailments that may
occur.
IT is very important, too, that Prof.
Binz does not at all accept the usual
distinctions between spirituous and fer
mented liquors. While he can not but
lament the disastrous consequences,
both to the individual and to society, of
excessive indulgence in spirits, he main
tains that ''the confirmed beer drinker
is no less an alcoholist than the spirit
drinker, though the outward effect on
his bodily frame may be different.
The dire effects of beer drinking is at
tracing the attention of the German
Government, and the resulting race de-
terioratiOn is making itself felt. The
other point stated by Prof. Binz is no
less important. He urges the hurtful
effects Of the by-products, and does not
confine his view to fusel oil. ut is the
duty of science to acquire a more exact
knowledge of these by-products, of art
to eliminate them from alcoholic drinks,
and of the State to repress the sale of
impure alcohols." Every gain in sani-
tary knowledge and in study of the
conditions of perfect health tends to
drive alcohol from use and to find in
those foods which correspond with the
human system the ailments which sus-
tain human life.-N Y. Independent.

give a name that amt yer own, so II
yer don't like it yer can skip and they
won't find yer"
The advice was taken with the ex-
ception of giving the fictitious name.
He told the truth straight through. For
the succeeding nine years he lived of
and on atthe Home, making himself very
useful to the institution, and at the same
time learning the trade of stone-cutter.
He was twenty-six years old when he
babe good-by to the officers of the home
and went across the river, where he OBJ
tanned immediate employment on the
Southern Railroad at his trade, at the
pay of four dollars per diem. Three
days afterward he was made foreman
of the gang at the pay of five dollars
day. At the end of the month a heavy
contractor on the road made him super
intendent, at a salary of $500 month
and expenses. One month later found
him the owner of some horses and carts,
and doing sub-contracting, which netted
him in two years S23,OO He now,
at the age of twenty-five years, felt
that the field was not large enough for
him, and he went West, where he took
contracts on the Union Pacific and on
the Denver e. Rio Grande Railroads,
and in connection with this work con-
structed for capitalists two hotels at
Denver. Still restless, he pulled up
stakes and went to Texas, where, pur-
chasing one thousand Texas cattle, he
went with the drove to Chicago and dis
posed of it at a very handsome profit
He now found time TO take run over
to Georgetown, Ky, on the Southern
Road, and there marry buXom and
lovable country girl whom he took
with him to Colorado, where he bought
large cattle ranch, that is at present
stocked with l 800 head of cattle and
140 ponies. Indians being too thick
around his ranch, he has established his
wife and two bouncing children at Colo
RADIO Springs. He is now but twenty
eight years old and is worth $50
Day before yesterday he walked into
the Children's Home and revealed his
name to the officers. who, it is needless
to say, are delighted over the phenom-
email success of their boy.
Nor is his the only case that reads
like romance. Eight years ago a
beautiful little girl of four years was
/
mother, who was one of the city's
noted characters. The father, worth-
less sot, disappeared. Within a few
months the child was adopted by an
excellent family, living in one of Gin
cinnati's beautiful suburbs. Her foster
parents brought her up with every
care, and now, at the age of twelve
years, she promises to be an ornament
to her home as well as society. Within
the past few days the father, who had
not been heard of before in all these
years, appeared at the Children S Home
and demanded the custody of his
child. His request was refused by the
trustees, who have no desire or inten-
ton to see her bright life wrecked. His
demand to know where she was living
met with no better result, and he now
proposes to sue the trustees, who, it
may be stated, will stand the suit, re-
lying on the aid of justice in their
cause. Cincinnati Journal.

Buying an Almanac.

A good many years ago an old gen
tleman in Massachusetts was the owner
of very rare almanac of whose value
he had an idea. but only a faint one.
1t was bound with fifteen others in a
single small volume of sixteen alma
macs. A number of Massachusetts his
torians and antiquarians had their eyes
on the paper Several societies felt,
each of them, sure the owner was going
to will it to them.
The late George Brinley, of this city,
also knew where the book was and
knew its value. He had way of get
ting such books when he wanted them.
One day he called upon the owner of
the almanac, and after a friendly visit
they fell to talking books. The old
gentleman expressed his great interest
in the Gcnhemdn'S NdgGzi,se, then be-
come very rare. and regretted that he
hadn't it. Mr.. Brinley, on the other
hand, complained of the bulkiness of
sets of bound books, and wished the
Gentlemdn'S Margarine was off his
shelves. He said he'd rather give the
space to different books. One good
volume was worth more to him than
many. Why, he'd rather, for example,
have those sixteen almanacs all in one
book than his whole set of the maga-
zine. The old gentleman's eyes glis-
tened, but he hated to take too great
advantage, so he asked Mr.. Brinley
again if he was in earnest. He said he
was.
The old gentleman said he'd make
the exchange if he felt twas fair one.
Mr.. Brinley said he'd agree to be salts
fed. They made a formal agreement,
and Mr.. Brinley went home. Shortly
after story spread that Mr.. Brinley
was "a little off his base mentally. 1t
was traced back and found to have
come from the family of the old gen
tleman, who had SO easily secured full
half-calf set of the magazine. The idea
of Mr.. Brinley's disturbance of equi-
librium was finally suggested to lead
ing Massachusetts historian. He in
quired into the evidence, and when he
learned that Mr.. Brinley had ''got that
almanac" his grief and disappoint-
ment showed only too plainly that
good bargain had been made and that
an antiquated treasure had crossed the
boundary line from Massachusetts into
Connecticut. Anxiety about Mr.. Brin-
ley's health terminated at once.
Mr.. Brinley gave nearly $3.50 for the
full set of the Gentleman's Magazine,
which he had to buy to fulfill his share
of the bargain. Then ne took out
twelve of the almanacs that he had re-
ceived and had them bound separately
at five dollars each. When he died
these twelve volumes brought $50 each,
or $500. Three of the remaining four
brought together $130, the sixteenth,
the prize of the whole, brought $565
alone. That is, what had cost him
about $40 sold for $1,055, or a clean
fifty per cent. advance over the cost.
Besides this he had had for years the
satisfaction of knowing he possessed
a great literary treasure, that he had
beaten his Massachusetts, competitors,
and that he had neither lost his wits
nor been badly taken in by the kind
hearted old gentleman who had scrupled
to make so good trade'-Hargerd

Climbing Life's Ladder.

In 1867 there came into Cincinnati as
a stowaway on a freight train lad of
eleven years, who, firing of country
life, came here in the hopes of bettering
his fortune. Looking in the marvellous
store windows did not appease his hun
ger, and he approached friendly-look-
ing little bootblack; who, with kit slung
to his back, was engaged in selling
papers, and asked the Contemporary use
of his box so as to earn money enough
to buy something to eat. The boot
black with great generosity gave him
five cents with which to buy something,
and told him to wait around until the
papers were sold, when, with the twenty
cents that would be realized, they would
get square meal together. At the epi-
curean feast the Cincinnati arab said:
:" The first thing yer want is headquar-
ters--a place where yer can close yer
