At their semi-annual meeting on
Friday last. the w. C. T. Y. elected
officers for the next six months. Mrs.
Weld, was reelected Pres, Mrs. Rodg-
ers, Mrs. johnson and Mrs. Kellogg,
Vice Presidents, Mrs. Rhoades, Re-
cording and Cor. Secretary, Mrs.
Sanderson, Treasurer.
The Union has neither gained or
lost in its number of members Turing
this time, for, though we have lost
some of our best, we have had added
to us those who will fill the ranks as
good acorkers, so the loss is only OF
companionship. The work of the past
six months has only been repetition
of the months previous, for the Read
ing Room takes all of our funds and
the reason little is done outside of it
is for lack of the same.
SECRETARY.
There is but one issue to-day before
the American people, Wis: the prohi-
bition of the liquor traffic. This is
the skeleton in every closet, the ''ghost
that will not down." the camel that
has already thrust head and shoulders
into legislative and congressional halls.
In every state the paramount quess
ton is show can we get rid of this
traffic?--Honte Guard

Nor yet in THY time,
But in his OWN time
The Lord will--anSwer that question.

A Youth Killer.

The cigarette is such. 1t is made
generally of refuse tobacco rolled in a
prepared paper. The paper is injur-
ious, if not poisonous, and the smoke,
or a large quantity of it. would pro-
duce dangerous, if not fatal illness.
The paper is filled with tobacco,
made from the odds and ends of the
cigar manufacturers, the stumps of
cigars, picked up in the street, and
fished out of the sewers, old guilds, and
the dried leaves. with which cigars
are more or less compounded.
The other day we saw very dirty,
ragged old man. with his hat half full
of the stumps of cigars and half chew
ed guilds of tobacco which he had pick
ed up in the halls, bar-rooms, and on
the sidewalks, and out of the cutters.
In reply to our question what he in
tended doing with these loathsome
things, "Sell 'em, sir. They make
cigarettes of them things" These
cigarettes are sold at very low prices
and are bought mostly by boys.-E.r.

EcIanm CONSUMPTION Cure.

The greatest lung medicine ever
discovered. Overwhelming testimony
accompanies every bottle, proving it
to be the greatest medicine ever Of
ferred to the public. AS an expec-
torant it has no equal. Eclegm Con-
sumption Cure invariably cures
coughs. colds, Group, hoarseness, and
is indispensable to orators and vocal
lists, because it strengthens the lungs
and imparts to the voice fullness and
cIearness of tone that cannot be at
tanned otherwise. The Eclegm is
purely vegetable. and is natures best
assistant in curing throat troubles.

Supr. LUNN, of Sank Co., in his adj

are our examinations directed at what
the applicants know, and far too little
with what they can do with what they
know, and far less at the style with
which they do their work at examina-
lions or in school through approved
modes of instruction.: and as the lat
ter is their weak side. the scholastic
standing usually overrates their teach

plies are SO erudely phrased as to puz-
zle ehe examiner to make out what he
means usually receives the same cred
it, if he be correct, as the other whose
statements are models of perspicuity
and good teaching. But far
more potential for good or evil than
the questions asked, are the answers
accepted: for in the same degree with
which the teacher is held to account
for something clear, full, specific, and
reliable, will he be likely to hold pu-
pills to account. This giving credit

How He Dealt with the Choir.

The Rev. DR.. W. W. Newell, in his book
on Revivals. recently published, tells us
how he once dealt with troublesome
choir. He says: ''Many years ago, was
pastor of church where there was a
large. efficient choir. But they were sadly
frivolous. There were frequent whispers,
merriment and note writing. They gave
me Gauch Thought and anxiety. I was
sometimes tempted ofthe devil to reprove
them openly. They deserved it. But I
said This will repel them. My desire
is to win them first to myself and then to
Christi Aud so [ studied the case and
looked to God for wisdom. And here
came in my rule to treat with special at
tention those persons by whom l was an
noyed. ] called upon each of them
Without allusion to their trlfling, spoke
to them Of my love of music, and of my
connection with an academic and collegi-
ate choir spoke to them of my high ap-
probation OF their singing, and of our
obligation to them on this account.
soon after arranged series of evening
prayer meetings 10 the chapel. I then call
ed upon the choir again, invited them to
our meetings, and requested them to sit
together in forward seat and to conduct
the singing. A large number of persons
soon after united with our church. Among
them was every member of that trouble
some chair. And, without ever suspecting
my annoyance. they we're for many, many
years my felp and my joy
