The Force Of the Pledge.

Forty wears ago Father Mathew went
up and down Ireland rs the apostle of
Temperance. He administered the
pledge as a religious rite. Hundreds of
men and women would kneel down be-
fore the good priest on the greensward,
as he recited the pledge, and then go
ing from one to the other. made the
sing of the cross on the forehead, say
ing: 'God give you strength TO keep
Your rcsolutionr'
a gentleman relates how he once
tested the force of the pledge on an
Irish guide. He was impatient to get
on. and refused the man permission to
change his dress for a more respectable
one. The afternoon was raw and cold.
and he drew up on q summit of a noun
tain to take some refreshments. The
guide pa.'tOOk of the sandwiches. but
declined the flask of whisky. The tour
ist to test him laid down a crown-piccc
and said: '.Now.my lad, YOU shall have
that if you Will take a sup of whiSky.'
Not for ten thousand times the
crown-pece. nor for all the lands YOU
see.would touch Il single drop. Your
honor must hear me.

which the teachers of our country

because of this one vice is a bitter one:

How to Get Along in Hot Weather.

The best and most comfortable way
is to go along with usual work in about
the usual way, avoid unnecessary eX-
pOsureS and let the heat take care OF
itself Those who have hot sidewalks
to go over may protitably remember
that it is on fair days like these that
the wise man carries an umbrella. and
all should go at t dignitied and moder-
ate pace. 1t is we'll to avoid looking at
a thermometer, and to discountenance
all conversation about the instrument.
Talk about trout fishing in the woods,
or the Greeley Polar expedition, will
have a much better effect on the imag
ination. Then it is good plan to read
cooling items in the newspapers. A
great many things find their way into
print which are so cool as to be refresh
ing at any time. Again, avoid all con-
trovcrsies about religion or politics.
disputes on any subject are now un-
seasonable, and it is very rarely thai;
TWO men can talk five minutes about
either of these without getting heated
to the boiling point. Have no domestic
broilS. Keeping tho temper is pr me
necessity, and we should also let the
ncighbors keep theirs. Do not annoy
taem or encro ach upon their rights, do
not be elusive and clap them on the
back while their linen is wet with per-
Spiration. and above all things, as you
value the common comfort, do not ask
any human being IF it is warm
enough'-but the expression in its full
horror shall not be given.-SpringFeld
