a PRACTICAL LESSON

You may think him Ounce,
But he begged that for once
He might sit up all night, or as long as he
pleased.
The nurse was in tears,
With her murmured MY Dears!"
But only the louder and faster he teased.
Overhearing the din,
His father came in
Wish to sit mp all night, John?' he wrath
fully cried.
You shall have your request
Till you've learned we know best.
Nurse can go. | wiz stay at this naughty
boys side"
When two hours had passed,
John grew sleepy at last
And so tired that he feared he would fall from
his chair;
But attempting to go,
Heard his fathers stern mo!
Keep your seat at the table, Your place. sir,
is there"
OH how slow licked the clock,
With its dickory dock
(For his father insists that the boy keep
awake),
Till quite humbly he said:
" May please go to bed?
I've found you were right, and made mis-
take"
His father said yes
And now you can guess
If ever that boy did the same thing again.
No sermon could preach,
No punishment teach.
A lesson more clearly than he learned it then.
Now, boys. when you're told
That it's bedtime, don't scold,
And say that you feel just like keeping awake.
Sitting up all the night
Isn't such delight.
Just try it for once, and you'll own your mis-
take.

Women Are Honest.

Although hundreds of women hold
positions of financial trust in the coun-
try, we have yet to hear of one of them
being guilty Of ENLIGHTENMENT or defal-
cation. The evidence clearly sustains
the positions of those who believe that
women are qualified, morally, physically,
and intellectually, for the handling of
money in stores or in banks. General
Spinner, who first introduced women
into the United States Treasury, left on
record striking testimonial to the
efficiency and integrity of the sex, and
no one ever had better opportunity to
study the question than he, who at one
time had one thousand women under his
direction, engaged chiefly in handling
money. He testified that they count
more accurately and rapidly than men;
that their ability to detect counterfeits
| proved to be superior in almost every
test; that they were, without an excep-
ton, honest, and were invariably more
careful and painstaking in their work.
Complaints of inaccuracy and careless
ness on the part of men were made fire.
quently during General Spinner's adj
ministration of the United States
Treasury, but such complaints against
lady clerks were few. The shrewdest
and quickest detecters of counterfeit
currency were women, and in case of a
dispute as to the genuineness of money
General Spinner invariably took the
Judgment of Miss Grandin, who was
for long time employed in his Bureau.
In speaking of her ability in this partic-
ular one day, General Spinner said: IF
was believer in clairvoyance should
say that she possessed that power; but
am not; so / call it INSTINCT
Although there are several thousand
women employed by the Government as
clerks, accountants, postmistresses, and
in other capacities, not one has ever
proved unfaithful to her trust. MANY
have been discharged for incapacity and
| for other reasons, but never one for
dishonesty. These facts are worth the
consideration of merchants and bank
ers, particularly now when there seems
to be an epidemic of embezzlement.-

Ventilated Beds.

A physician of West Thirty-third
street was asked by a reporter to read al
slip that had been cut from the Londonl
Lancet, and to give an opinion as to the
need for such an invention as the para
graph told about The Lancet expressed
great pleasure at hearing that somebody
had invented ventilated beduuilt.
While it had not examined working;
model of the invention, nor read an ex-
tended description of it, the Lancet un-
derstood that it was sort of perforated
coverlet in which the holes were filled
in with some substance that would al
low vapor to go through. 1t under
stood, further, that the continuance had
been thoroughly tested, and had worked
like charm.
"When we consider said the physi-
clan, chow many folks die in bed, there
can be no doubt that our beds are ter
ribly unhealthy. Take thousand per-
sons who are in bed in different parts of
the civilized world at this moment-say
an hour before dinner time-an YOU
would find that their physical condition
will not begin to compare with that of
a thousand Indians who never sleep in a
bed, taken at random. And it is doubt
full whether, of all this thousand per-
sons in bed, you would find one lying
under quilts provided with anything
like an adequate system of ventilation.
''Do we not ALL the physician went
on IN declamatory way, ''spend nearly
or quite one-third of our time in bed,
and during nearly all of that time are
we not helpless in sleep-death's coun-
terfeit? Helpless are we, then, to de-
tect the bad effect of sleeping in unven-
tilated beds as it insidiously creeps over
us; helpless to remedy the evil where it
exists; helpless to fly from it and seek
ventilation and health by going out and
airing ourselves on the roof
Again said the physician, Ibid
you ever see COW get into bed, put on
nightcap, tuck in the unventilated
quilts at the sides and the foot, pull
them up around her neck and abandon
herself in sleep to the ravages of the
deadly vapors produced by cutaneous
exhaustions? No, sir; instinct teaches
all creatures of the lower orders-with
one exception-to shun the unventilated
beds of civilization
The physician hesitated, and the re-
porter waited, pencil in hand.
"What p'' said the doctor. ''Do YOU
want more of it? Haven't I talked
more than l would have to talk for a

Thin, Teddy Mcclure,
SCIENTIFIC TEMPERANCE INSTRUC-
TION.

At its annual meeting in Alton, the
Illinois w. G. T. U. decided to concen-
trate its efforts largely upon this depart
ment. Its object is to secure systemat-
ic teaching concerning the nature of
stimulants and narcotics, and their eff
feet upon the human system, in every
school supported by public money. 1t
hopes in this way topre-empt childhood
for temperance and to rear a race of
pure blooded, strong-hearted men and
women, who will be able to grappIe
successfully with the terrible problem
of intemperance because they bring to
its consideration brains never muddled
by alcohol, and hearts that do not quail
before it's menace. We have been
taught by the stern logic of defeat the
futility of expecting legislative relief
from this great evil so long as legisla-
tors are elected by the liquor interest.
We must train up a generation on pur
pose TO grapple with this momentous
question. The public school is the fit
training ground, for it is founded and
sustained by the State for the sake of
training citizens for the State. 1t is its
duty to guard the future citizens against
any and every thing which antagonizes
good citizenship; the drink habit is the
deadliest foe to good citizenship; hence
the public school must antagonize it or
be guilty before God and man of neglect
ing its duty. =.
How shall we accomplish our object?
By educating public Sentiment. "Agi-
tate! Agitate! Agitate" This is the
way slavery was abolished; this is the
way every great reform is accomplished.
See that in every school-house in the
State, especially in every country
school-house, at least one evening be
devoted to discussing this question, not
Temperance in the abstract, nor Prohi-
bition, nor any other of the many vital
issues connected with the subject, but
the simple question: "Ought the State
to guard its future citizens against in
temperance by teaching Temperance in
its public schools?" Devote another
evening to recitations, defamation and
essays by the pupils on this topic and
the effect of alcohol and tobacco upon
the human system; have the question
discussed in the country debating socie-
ties, the local press, the pulpit. Bring
home to the hearts of fathers and moth
ers that it is more important that their
children should be taught Temperance
principles which may save them from
becoming drunkards, than that they
should know the exact number of square
miles il Patagonia, or be able to solve
arithmetical puzzles, whose like never
occurs in business.
Impress it upon the teachers and
school directors that this is what par

Beer DESTROYS Business.

Let us take an average community in
which there are say l 200 men working
Tor wages. This means that there are
altogether in the community 5000 per-
sons-the other 1000 being made up Of
women, children and those incapaci-
tated for daily labor
1t is plain to any one who will think
minute that all the money the com
munity can have is what these 1,O00
men can earn as the re ward of their
labor. All the clothing, food, house
room, books, etc., that the 4,000I
women, etc., can have is what can bel
bought with the proceeds of the days
work of the men.
Consequently all the business that
can be done by the dry-goods stores,
groceries, boot and shoe shops, etc., !
which supply the various wants of these
people, is limited to the amount of
money which the men can earn in the
course of the year.
Therefore, anything that diminishes
or wastes this total sum of wages is a.
direct blow at the whole community.
1t is reduction of every ones means
of support.
If saloon is started in the eommu-
nifty, and takes in $4,000 in the coursei
of a year-a very small estimate of
what 1000 men would spend in one
year-the amount of food, clothing,
etc., bought is diminished that amount
at least, without taking into accounts
the diminished capacity of the wage
earners to earn wages, caused by their
consumption OF the $4,000 worth of
liquors. The whole community is many,
thousand dollars poorer because the
saloon-keeper prefers to '.lead an easy
life, " rather than support himself BY
honorable labor.
just in proportion to the amount of
liquor sold anywhere so is all other
business injured or even destroyed. /
The worst enemy to the saloons should
be the man who deals in any of the
necessaries of life, for nothing can be so
hurtful to legitimate trade rs the de-
struction of the peoples capacity to
buy by their indulgence in strong drink. |
Considered purely as a business vent
ure the most profitable thing that the
merchants of any city could do would
be to provide every saloon-keeper in
the city with a good salary, and send
him abroad to enjoy himself for the rest
of his life. If all saloon-keeping could
be stopped in this way, it would pay
the merchants to support the saloon
keepers in luxurious idleness, in the
choicest spots in the world.-TOLedlO

A Deadly Serpent.

Some time ago party of sailors vis-
tied the Geological Garden. One of
them, excited by the liquor he had
taken, and as an act of bravado to his
companions, took hold of a deadly SER
pent. He held it up, having seized it by
the nape of the neck in such manner
that it did not turn round to sting. AS
he held it, the snake, unobserVed by
him, coiled itself around his arm, and
at last it got firm grip, and wound
tighter and tighter SO that he was I'M
able to detach it. AS the pressure of
the snake increased the danger grew,
and at length the sailor was unable to
maintain his hold on the venomous
reptile, and was compelled to loose it.
What did the snake then doP 1t turned
around and stung him, and he died. So
it is with the appetite of strong drink.
We can control it at first, but in little
while it controls us. We can hold its
influence in our grasp for awhile, so that
it shall be powerless, but afterward sit
biteth like serpent and stingeth like
an adder"

SOap-Bnbbles.

How many of our boys and girls know
what is meant by the science of any,
thing? The word science means
true knowledge; and to know truly,
perfectly, about an object, we must
know of WHAT it is made, or what causes
it, and what properties it has, such as
form, color and weight.
How shall we make our soap bubbles?
Of soap and water, you will say. Only
soap and water? One such a bubble
will be gone before you can send anoth-
er to catch it. In my childhood days 1
thought it real fun to see them burst,
but more fun to make them last long
time.
Now the secret lies in getting just the
right mixture. Put into a common
white bottle one and one-half ounces of
CASTLE soap, one pint of water, and
three-quarters of pint of pure glycer-
inc. This is Plateau's solution; and
from it he makes bubbles that are very,
very beautiful, though, being blind, he
can see them only with the eyes of his
mind
A bubble consists of a portion of air
lnclosed by -flm-somethlng very
thin-which is made of soap and water.
So we have the three forms of matter
the solid, liquid and gaseous.
When blown from the mouth, the air
inside of the bubble is warmer and
lighter than the outside air, and our
bubble will rise. When filled from bel
lows, the air is colder and heavier,
causing the bubble to fall. The rising
and falling is due to pressure of the air,
which some of the boys will tell us is
equal to fifteen pounds to every square
inch.
Different airs or gases have different
weights. This may be prettily shown
by putting into vessel OF any kind q
few pieces Of chalk. Pour over them a
little vinegar. A bubbling will begin,
and gas will be set free, which we call
carbonic acid gas. Its presence may
be shown by putting in lighted match.

each. every year, hundred orphans,
and proportionate share of four-ffths.

just as well to state this case clearly

Stop Now Why should men de-
lay to break any bad habit? Everybody
knows that it grows stronger by each,
repetition. Nothing is more foolish
than to say: 81 know ought to stop,
and [ will next New Years Day." The
man who can not stop to-day can not
tomorrow. The drunkard never re-
forms tomorrow; the spendthrift never
saves tomorrow. The boaster who
says: 81 can if 1 WILL is the one who
can not ao5y, and therefore never does.

The saloon-keepers of Chicago are

them into good humor. The State of
Illinois does not make laws for any class
of men to spit on and trample under
their feet, and the saloon-keepers will
find the $500 license is no exception
Their present fight will likely end be-
fore two years in their paying round
$1,000 for the privilege of making pau
pers and criminals, and even then it
will be hard bargain for the public. =
