The increase Of business in the lob
department Of the LEDGER last year
made it necessary to order Cottrell
fast job press, which was made to order
and set in its place last October. It's
the fastest job press in the United
States and has with other presses in
the LEDGER job rooms been kept busy
day and night ever since, even trench>
ing little on Sunday sometimes when
1t is work Of necessity. The press
has given entire satisfaction and is
good Tor many years of hard service.
And now a fine Campbell press has
been ordered and the papers signed.
1t is to be laid down and set to RIM
ming by the 18th Of July. It. will be
one OF the fastest that can be made of
this famous name and style. 1t will
be used In printing the daily LEDGER.

What BOYS wish 20 Become

London Telegraph.
When a boy has ceased to wish to
be clown he desires to drive an en-
CINE, and when that ambition has
passed his next want is to 20 to sea.
1t is curious to observe the uniformity
Of opinion among boys on these mat,
ters. We never heard of a lad pas
sionately anxions to be lawyer, and
hiding himself in corners in order to
read about the law, nor probably is a
lad--a small lad-often found who
devotes his days and nights to think
ing how delightful it must be to be a
clergyman. To be a stock broker. a
banker, farmer, to be even member
OF Parliament is not among the ambi-
tons Of boys. They would be willing
to shine as actors, but on condition that
they appear with whitened cheeks
and with leg Of mutton and a hot
poker in their pockets. Of engineer.
ing they have few ideas outside the
netion that an engineer, whether civil
OF. otherwise, is an individual with a
grimy face-a distinct advantage to
boys, most Of whom abhor soap-who
stands behind a locomotive and makes
1t go along as fast as he pleases, not to
mention whistling whenever he takes
1t into his head to enter tunnel. The
sea, however,is usually the boys long
est and most earnest dream, And it
IS not little extraordinary that the
hardest, the toughest, and. having
regard to the routine of its discipline
and the character OF its members,
the most prosaic of all oallings should
stand at the very head Of the pTofes.
slens as an aspiration Of sentiment,
Of poetry and Of romantic fancies. The
sea has q charm for the young which
men can oAly understand by becoming
boys again in fancy, and thinking
out Of the minds they had when boys.
Were it possible exactly to determine
oil that lad dreams about the sea.
the impulses which move him toward
it, his ideas of life on board shin and
the wonders of the world into which
the mariner sails, we should find the
picture wanting neither in humor nor
in pathos-humor in the utter unlike.
ness of the truth, and pathos in the
generous, childlike imagination which
filings its wondeiul lightover one OF the
harshest and most unsympathetic of
human facts, enriching it to such a
degree that even the mature mind is
captiyated by the boyish fancy, and
regards the sea from the standpoint of
the dreaming, enthusiastic lad.

How to Help a Man who Swears
Scientific American.

f.l Scientific American.
A large audience assembled al
franklin Institute Hall, Philadel.
phia, recently, to hear the last lecture
Of the New Century course for women
Suggestions contributed by DR.. Jos,
Parrish, Of New Jersey; DR.. r. 2,
Harris, of the Franklin Home; DR.
Joseph Knapp, of the Washingtoaian
Home; DR.. d. T. Crothers, Of the
Hospital for Inebriates in Hartford,
Conn; DR.. Charles Mohr, Secretary
of the Pennsylvania Homeopathic
State Society, and many others were
read.
Mr.. O. Gibbons, Superintendent Of
the Franklin Home, made an earnest
appeal to women for patience with the
men whose weakness has tried them
SO sorely, and who suffer SO deeply
themselves in their efforts to reform.
Very interesting addresses followed
from Mr.. s. p. Goodwin, founder of
the home, and the Rev. Charles G..
Ames. All agreed that the safest of
all ways to stop drinking is to stop
short off from all stimulation what
ever, hot drinks cold drinks, bitters
and all the list. t
The Philadelphia Ledger sets down
some of the advice given for the bene-
fit of those to whom such break
would be an imEossibility. For such
let the house mother always have on
hand something hot, or tonic, or re
freshing, to tide over for the hour the
agonizing demand for stimulation.
Hot drinks-coffee, sometimes tea,
cocoa, either ground or in the forms of
shells or cracked cocoa. This is nu-
tritious as we'll as satisfying. Hot
broth, beef tea, or beef essence can be
bought, but are far better made at
home, hot milk, ginger tea, cayenne
pepper tea, and an article called tas
basoo, which is hotter than ordinary
cayenne. Aerated drinks-lemon
soda, zoedone, and ginger ale can be
kept in the house, and are harmless,
the tang being given by fixed air; the
home made beers, on the contrary,
are treacherous, the life depend
ing directly on fermentation.
Refreshing drinks are cold
milk, buttermilk, when, drinks
from lemon aud other acid fruits,
HorsEOrd's acid phosphate, and what
isjust as effectual and much cheaper,
dilute phosphOric acid. A few drops
in water, sweetened, makes a pleasant
drink, and ten cents worth will last
for months, Oatmeal water, just
handful in a pitcher Of water. This
is both refreshing and strengthening,
in summer.
In the Baldwin locomotive shops,
where about 5000 men are employed,
this is kept on hand in large quaint.
ties, and, strange to say, even drink,
ing men grow fond OF it. They say
that when they drink it they don't
seem to want their beer. Juicy fruits
apples, oranges, melons, etc. The
surest way to bring up children not to
care for alcohol is to accustom them
early to liking all sorts of fruit. The
lecturer spoke in the strongest terms
Of the misery caused by physicians by
the reckless prescribing OF alcoholic
stimulants to patients, without a word
Ofinquiry as to the habits or inherited
tendencies Of the individual.
