INTBMPERANcE AMONG WOMEN.

ANIGMI EtsANCE AMONG WOMEG.
Concerning female intemperance the
London Lancet says when we are tax
ing stock of the causes of misery and pow
erty we must give IL large place to the
drunkenness of women. 1t is painful to
see women almost rivaling men in the
frequency and holiness with which they
enter public houses. The sooner we get
back to the time when women were
ashamed to enter public houses, and publ
cans were ashamed to serve them the
better" Upon the same subject the Tenn
peraaace Record remarks. "The growth of
female intemperance is one of the most
discouraging features of our time. Recent
Judicial statistics clearly show not only that
there is a greater proportionate increase of
drunkenness among women, but that in
their case the habit is more inveterate than
in men. There are still a large number Of
most estimable ladies who think it ex-
ceedingly vulgar to dispense hospitality
without the aid Of Intoxicating drinks,
and until that is thoroughly changed there
is reason to fear that we shall not get
back to the time when women were
ashamed to enter public houses

HYMN FOR THE HOME.
Air.-.Stceet Bye and Bye.''
Here's q thought for the fathers to-day.
Here's theme for the mothers fond prayer:
VIII our loved ones be tempted astray
BY the demon of drink to his lair?
Gsorus-We will stand for the right,
With its hope for the ages to come;
We will win in the fight,
For we battle for God and the home,
Oh ! drive back the dark shadow of night
That now lowers SO darkly above;
Help the lost back again to the light;
Bring them home to the sunshine of love.
Chorus.
By one step that you take in the way,
By one note that you sing in the song.
You may lead back brother astray;
You may pierce the frail arm of wrong.
Chorus.
There is more than a man to elect
There is more than party to win;
There's torrent of evil to check,
There's victory to gain over sin.

IT'S ADVANTAGES OYER SHINGLES

Shingles were once made of the best selected
timber and lasted longer than now; they are
now made mostly of limbs, odd cuttings, and
such timber as cannot be made into anything
else, and are short-lived at best, and frequently
leak rain or fine snow. The average life 0fshin-
gle roofs is twelve years, and in towns where
coal is used only ten years. Shingles are old
fashioned and have seen their best days.

THE USUAL RESULT. 1t is not TO be g
MED that good sewing machine is on OF
the most important appurtcnanccs OF the
modern household.
We thought we had a good machine in
our household until one day the agent OF the
Ne,n Home presented himself at our door
and proceeded to deliver an Grafton upon its
characteristic merit
But" we answered, "our machine serves
us nicely and suits us well, and we do not
care for another
The agent, however, begged the privilege
of leaving one OF his machines with us, Tor
the ladies to try
The request was not unreasonable 80 we
granted it-but more TO ohlgc the agent
than anything else; for really we did not
want the machine, and had not the rcm"tcst
idea of buying 1t.
The machine once in the house, it was nat
ural that the ladies should look it over; they
did so, and as Il consequence fell in love
with it. They say that without the slight
est wish to decry or dispamgc any other
machine, this, all things consdercd, is, in
their opinion, the most desirable one to be
had
The upshot of the whole matter was that
the old machine was disposed of, and the
"l.ight-R Running New Home installed in
our household. 1t it pronounced genuine
beauty and real comfort, and our folks
wanted lis to tell other folks about it.
