Practical Temperance Lectures.

Happily the Temperance cause is not
wholly dependent for its progress on
the zeal and influence of its special ad-
vocates. The habits of men are not,
and can not be, matters of indifference
to those who employ them, especially
when the trusts committed are large
and continuous. 1t is said that the
number of employers who make intern
perate habits an insuperable objection
to their service is increasing every year.
As an example, the entire community
is closely interested in the habits of
those who have the conduct of public
conveyances. And thus it is that on all
well-managed railroads indulgence in
strong drink is not only discouraged,
but is now considered ground for dis
missal. In other lines of business, also,
the man who is known to drink liquor
finds himself at disadvantage when it
is question between him and one who
does not. Such practical Temperance
lectures are having their effect Thou
sands of employers in city and country
are thus unobtrusive, yet very effective,
advocates of sobriety. Their influence
is being felt, and it should be recog-
nized as among the hopeful auguries of
the time.-The EUdnqeLiSt.

French and English Love-Making.

In his book on Lies Files de John
Bull" Max O'Rell writes thus on the
French and English ways of making
love: Inever much admired the way in
which declarationsof love are made in
France. With us the foolish animal
has to go on his knees at a
woman's feet. With her ewes
modestly dropped on us, this little de-
mon of observation makes an inven-
tory of our smallest defects-of our
hair, growing sparser; of our Ian
gushing eyes, turning up and showing
their whites; of little wart, which we
thought concealed. I put it squarely
that in this little scene it seems to me
we have to play Supremacy ridiculous
part. If any one of my readers is not
of this opinion, let him put this cues
ton to himself: ''Should 1 ever think
of being photographed in the attitude
above described" / await his answer.
They manage these things differently
in England. You sit down comforta-
bly,, very much at your ease. You have
the adored object of your dreams at
your side or at.your feet, and you can
murmur your sweet whispers of love
into her ear without ever dislocating
your vertebral column. You NAV even
smoke your cigar without any fear of
giving offense, all the time you tell your
love and build your castles in Spain.
''Then you are something of a pasta, /"
I can imagine some emancipated
woman exclaiming. Not at all. madam;
it is no question of master and slave;
it IS matter mot of slavery, but Of
exalted duty"

A Good Recipe for Removing This Annoy
ance from the Hair.

n 0OOW hcCIp0 lOr hGIHONlHS Ills annoy
ance from the. Hair.
Take piece of gum camphor as large
as chestnut and place it in one pint of
alcohol. This camphorizes the alcohol.
The mixture may be perfumed to suit
the taste. Wet the scalp with this
daily. 1t will stimulate the scalp, pro-
mote the growth af the hair, and in
many instances prevent it from falling
off. German women are noted for
their luxuriant hair. Once in every two
weeks they wash the head thoroughly
with quart of soft water, in which a
handful of bran and a little white soap
had been dissolved, then the yelk of an
egg, slightly beaten, is rubbed into the
roots of the hair; this is allowed to re-
main few minutes, and then the hair
is washed and rinsed carefully in soft
water 1t is then wiped and dried thor
oughly, combed from the forehead and
parted with the fingers. After drying
apply a little pomatum, made of beef
marrow boiled in small quantity of
olive oil and slightly perfumed. Do
this near the fire in winter or in a very
warm room. Almost all curling fluids
are mere impositions, but with q weak
solution of isinglass a firm and lasting
form may be given to the hair. This
solution is inofensive. The hair should
be well brushed every day in order to
keep it in perfect condition Always
use the best brushes. They are the
cheapest in the end. Use the brush
very rapidly and for about five minutes.
A celebrated beauty said the hair should
receive one hundred strokes day, and
they should be applied in three minutes
time. A good and the safest wash for
the teeth is pure soft water and She
finest quality of CASTLE soap. Apply
with a moderately stiff brush morning
and evening. The above recipes are
worthy of a trial, especially for those
who desire beautiful hair.-N 7. Her

Origin of Earnings.

The custom of wearing earrings is
so ancient that it is impossible to tell
who set the fashion. According to the
Moslem creed, every Mohammedan
lady considers it her duty to wear them
in honor of Hagar, who was held sin
peculiar veneration as the mother of
Ishmael, the founder of the Turkish
race. There is a curious legend that
Sarah, the wife of Abraham, was so
embittered against Hagar that she re-
solved to disfgure her rivals face.
Her better nature, however. triumphed
and she only pierced the lobes of her
ears. Hagar, wishing to seem comedy
to Abraham, put rings of gold in her.
ears to cover the marks. Her Turkish
descendants to-day feel that woman
dishonors her great ancestor If she fails
to wear them. But many sensible girls
and women in our egH land want a
better reason for the fashion -Pbs1edeE-

An Important Declaration.

Important action was recently taken
by the Grand Lodge of Free Masons
for Ohio, declaring liquor-selling to be
a Masonic crime, which Will be suf-
ficient ground for the refusal of Ma
sonic fellowship. This shows the de-
velopment of moral feeling in the
world, and direct influence upon q
great social organization; for we may
hope that if this principle is accepted
in one quarter, it may in time become
universal. 1t has been suggested, by
an exchange friendly to Temperance,
that if the Free Masons would go far
Their, and create within themselves a
total abstinence society, they ''would
appear before the world with an object
more exalted than any hitherto put
forward, and that this department,
once established, would, by its superior
moral force, steadily gain upon the or
ganization until it became its main
spring"

TIE MAN AT The WHEEL

The sun went down, out came the stars;
The steamboat Neptune held her way
In middle stream, between the bars,
Straight down the river in the bay;
And as the engine toiled and painted
The decl-hands lolled at ease and chanted
A quaint and curious roundelay.
Tom Simpson, in the engineroom,
Was chatting with grimy mate
Who watched the gauge, while, like loom,
The pistOns moved at even rate,
lmpelled as by law appalling,
Forever rising-eYer falling,
Uhpausing as the hand of Fate,
When suddenly the pilots bell
Sounded a solitary stroke;
1t echoed like a funeral knell,
So unexpectedly it broke
Upon their talk, upon their laughter;
Tom said: Now what's the old man after?
Slow her down, Jim-or is't joker"
"JOke or no joke, I'll slow her down."
Answered the grimy engineer;
Just skip above and ask old Brown
What ais him; it is 'tarnal queer.
Un such night, too, clear as crystal;
jumped as though / heard pistol
Alfred off agen my ear"
Tom Simpson turned upon his heel
And sought the pilot; Brown sat there,
His wrinkled hands upon the wheel
- The breeze blown through his siIvered hair.
"Hellol old grand-dad, what's the matter
Ye're maxim all this blasted clatter
When everything is clear and fafr?"
"Ihe mist! the mistI" the pilot cried,
THE rivers thick-leaVe off the steam"
What mist, old lunkhead?" Tom replied:
:" The night is clear, you do but dream;
wake up, Old man." With sudden shiver
The pilot pointed down the river
THE mist is heavy on the stream"
"Now dash my buttonsl here's case."
Tom growed; and then, in queer surprise,
de looked hard in the old mans face
=, And saw the mist there in his eyes
En-, what's this, mate? Rouse up, old fes-
The moon shone on him soft and mellow,
Like some far CLEAN of Paradise
Rouse upl I'll call the Capn, Brown;
You are not well; hold up your head.J
Still omtnOusly pointing down
The river: "See the mist!" he said.
Fly, God he's dyin'," Tom low muttered-
me mistP twas the last word he uttered
The bell had rung-old Brown was dead.

A RECENT investigation, by special
examiners appointed for the purpose,
has brought to light the great losses
several of the Hartford insurance COM
ipanies have sustained in several por-
tons of the country from insuring per
sons subject to habits of inebriety. In a
certain section twenty-eight deaths were
all traced to the excessive use of alcohol,
and the losses were paid simply because
it was cheaper to settle than to contest
These examiners were instructed to
cancel ali the risks of ten thousand and
upward where the insured were found
using alcohol to an excess. These are
startling object-lessons, involuntary
testimonies to the advance of public
sentiment as.to the effect of this great
curse.-U Union Signal.

results of DR.. Napier's inquiry into the
nature of diet, the object of which was
to solve the question of how far certain
foods encouraged or prevented the crav-
ing for drink. He concluded that mac
aroni, beans, dried peas and lentils an
tagonize in a marked degree the desire
for alcohol. In the treatment of alco-
holism farinaceous foods should be used
in preference to all others.

Resume of the Riot.

New YORK, April l.-Murat Halstead
sums up the situation at Cincinnati in the
following dispatch to the Tribune of this
city; THE number of persons killed
and wounded in the riot thus far ascer-
tanned is about 200. The last fatal shot
fired in anger was between 4 and 5 o'clock
this morning. The court house is not an
utter ruin, as it was at first supposed to
be. A large portion of the valuable rec
ords have been saved; the money that
was in the treasury is all safe; the vaults,
which We're very heavy, are manly good.
We have confidence that there will not be
a repetition of the terrors of the past few
nights, but only the overwhelming force
of state troops prevents further disasters.
The determination to lynch the gang of
murderers in prison, and to relieve the
crowds of rioters who have been made
prisoners, is something terrific, and secret
meetings were held to-day, that would
mean mischief if there were not thou
sands of rifles and several batteries at
hand.
The rioting the first night was largely
by ~workingmen of good character, who
resented the fact that murderers who have
money, to set in motion the machinery of
criminal lawyers, have had freedom here.
The second night the spirit of the COM
mune appeared, and petroleum was put to
use. The third night the number of de-
termined men had been largely reduced,
and there were swarms of boys. Of the
crowd that was smashing the pawn
brokers' shop, only three were grown men
and they were thieves. They had a rab-
Bile of boys from IL to 10 years of age,
with them. OF sixty rioters gathered in
for attempting to seize the battery of can
non at the Music hall, only ten were men,
the rest boys. The crowd deprecated
from honest men, misguided but ami
mated by righteous wrath kindled against
a ~systematized infamy of the most out
rageous character; to a rabble of boys in
the hands of the lowest desperadoes. The
excited people had real grievance to begin
with. The administration of criminal law
here has been damnable, and the influence
of criminals in public affairs is alarming.
That which has happened will, we may
hope, make irresistible the influence that
will lead to better ways"

Turmoil Terminated.

CINCINNATI, April It'll committee
Of gentlemen appointed to assist and
advise with the mayor met and resolved
to advise the withdrawal of troops and
the appointing of a sufficient special
police force, it being the sense of the
meeting that the presence of the militia
appeared to act more as a menace to
the withdrawn mob; that the latter are in
reality more fearful of a number of reso-
lutte and well organized police than of
unframed young militia. Such a recon-
mendation as mentioned has been for
warded to Governor Hoadley and it is
almost certain that no further outbreak
will occur.
The oxact number of dead and
wounded probably never will be ascer-
tanned ON account of mango of the wounded
being carried away by friends, but the
number killed outright or dying at the
hospital up to midnight last night was
~forty-one as shown by city undertakes,
hospital records and such information
from those taken home as could be had.
The number of wounded compiled from
the same source is 100. There are
probably half us many more wounded not
reported.
The committee of fifteen at a subsequent
meeting decided to raise by subscription
800, 600 to be used to pay 1000 extra
police. This sum is to be loaned to the
city until the sum expended may be raised
by proper appropriation and returned.
This is to enable the withdrawal of the
military.
This evening has been free from any
incident indicating any change in the
situation. The proposed relief of the
military by the civil force cannot be put
into operation speedily if at all. As the
selection of suitable men and their equip
ment must take time the militia still keep
the street barricaded as strongly as ever,
