was at once made as to the validity of his
claim to be an American citizen.
And what did this investigation show?
That insolvency had returned from the
United States to Ireland five years pre-
viously; that he had practically forfeited
his Americanship by holding office there:
and that he had given every indication
Of 4 purpose to remain there permanent

our interference. 4 naturalized citizen

cept an Office, take the necessary oath to

Is to lead our young men to regard a pure

EVIL fruit from this corrupt tree has
already appeared, we are too we'll assured
to doubt. BY the public teaching of such

FLOUR THAT WILL KEEP WELL.

The following conditions
must be observed in making
fior" to keep well. 1t must
be sound flour from hard dry
Q ain, which must be well
hulled in properly-constructcd
mills, and thoroughly bolted.
1t must be kept IN a place
that is completely protected
from heat and moisture. The
French War Depal ment use
alright metallic boxes for
keeping flour rom dry grain
and the first g. hiding is rsed.
The French military use the
finest flour, to which however
is added from twelve to
eighteen per cent, from the
second grinding, which COR
responds to the legai require
'ments. This latter is a source
of change, says the Chem.
Zeitung, and yet we cannot
entirely avoid making use Of
the second milling, for it is
in the second grinding that
the very nutritious portion of
the grain is separated from
the bran. But we can provide
against this change by storing
the two different qualities
separately, instead Of mixing
them. The fine -four alone
keep well, and the other,
which does not keeps so well,
is always used fresh and the
two mixed when used.

ELOQUENT Words of Cheer.
Letter from Hon. R. S. Broaon.

In response to letter written
by US, in reference to the matter OF
bringing the Ravenswood Temper
ance Cadets to our Convention,
Hon. R. S. Brown encloses US a
check "to be used in aid of the good
work. and writes eloquent words
of cheer Herewith, that we cannot
withhold from our readers.
From the letter we must take
the following; Jtro 10 O. ln -
l am told the lads are to be or
ganized and drilled in the princi-
pies your Christian Temperance
Union is advocating, and SO train
ed in social fraternity up into So
Der manhood. . 4.0g .tt.
Since the resurrection of the
body was revealed through the as
cension of our Savior, no more sub
lime and elevating thought has
blessed the human mind, than that
of taking childhood in its limo
cence and preserving its purity
through youth up to maturity.
And it is fit and proper that this
idea proceeds from the daughters of
those who were "last at the cross
and first at the grave." er
No arm Of flesh is long or strong
enough to reach and uplift fallen
fellow man, weighed down with the
burden Of a depraved appetite. He
only who is mighty to save" can
cliff man up" tl-.rfe mi RI.
But in all moral government, He
still works by means as of yore J;
and what more apt and beautiful
means could Divinity employ than
the pure and lovely influence Of
mothers, sisters and lady friends,
upon the young hearts of our little
boys, to save them from falling?
We may not live to witness the
glory of God fully manifested in the
salvation of our young men from
the Moloch Of Strong Drink, but
let US hope our children may be
given to see it's accomplishment.

Ready for Active Work.
BUcKHANNoN, May Z, 'S4.


DEAR SIsTER.-At meeting of
some of the Christian women of our
town, it was decided to avail our
selves of the opportunity to secure
Mrs. Wells to lecture and organize
for US.
Rev. Harper read US your letter
stating the liberal terms. I have
no doubt that Buckhannon will
give her a welcome for which our
friendly citizens have become al
most proverbial. We have no w.
c. T. U. in our village, but surely
ought to have. We are quite free
from the direct effects of intemper-
ance, yet the evil is here in some
degree; then we are hearing the
cry, "Come over and help usr' So
often the thought of the worth of
one human soul comes to me in
such full force, that it convinces
me that it is grand thing to live,
if my life-work will save but one
soul.
Please arrange a date for Buck
harmon, if possible before the 5th
of June. The Academy term clos
es then, and the young ladies and
/ would miss meeting and hearing
Mrs. Wells if you arranged for US
after that date Consult your own
convenience, however, for the mo-
tive was partly selfish for making
the request. AS a teacher I am
anxious that my girls become in
terested in these vital reforms that
pertain to women and home.
| think the women of Buckhan-
non will become thoroughly inter-
ested in this work. May 1 hear
from you soon? Very truly,
Mrs. JUsTINA STEVENS.
