We have received from Mrs. Sarah X.
Bolton, of Cleveland, a copy of her new
work ISSUED at Boston by Messrs. ID. 10th
rop & Company entitled How Success
is Won" 1t has 245 pages and contains
very interesting, gracefully-written sketches
of Peter Cooper, John B. Cough, Whittier,
the poet; John Wapamaker, the great
Philadelphia merchant; Henry NJ Stan
lev, Johns Hopkins, William NJ. Hunt,
Elias Howe, junior, Alexander 81. Ste
phens, Thomas A. Edison, DR.. VIM. I. G.
Morton, and Rev. DR.. John II. Vincent,
the Chancellor of Chautsuqua University.
There is in the book fine portrait of each
of the distinguished gentlemen named.
The Dixons, of Rhode Island, like the
Salsburys, OF Delaware, take congress
sional honors the natural way. Nathan
f. Dixon, of Westerly, who is now filling
out the unexpired term of Congressman
Chace, is the third of the name who has
served in congress from that state. His
grandfather, Nathan Fellows Dixon, was
a member of the senate from December,
1889, till his death, which occurred in
1912. In December, 1863, the father OF
the present congressman, Nathan Fellows
Dixon. entered the house and served from
the same district now represented by his
son till 1871. And a cousin of the pres
eut congressman, Hon. Jesse L. Moss. is
a member of the Rhode Island Legisla-
ture, and good one.

The Drunken Women in London.

Walk along Fleet street, 90 slowly
along the Strand, or any one of the
many streets, lanes and alleys crossing
those two great arteries at right angles
look into any one of the beer or whiskey
shops at any hour of the day or night
and count the souls there. You will
find more women than men-women
with babes at the breast, young girls
from sixteen up, old women with bloated
faces and every tender lineament of their
sex blotted from their countenance by
the brutalizing agency of alcohol; old
women, too, scarcely able to stand from
the combined effects of age and dissi-
patton. 1t is a horrible spectacle, which
/ have never seen in any other part of
the world. These poor female wretches,
huddled together outside the bar in
small rooms ten feet square, perhaps
imbibing the soul-poison from morning
till night, cheering each other mayhap
by ribald talk and jest, neglecting all
the duties of womanhood for the sake
of the loved dram or pint, and after
ward spending all their pennies or
ha'pence, as the case may be, Keeling
out into the busy streets with some
muddled thought of getting home
again before husband, father or
brother returns.-LOndon Letter.

COasting in August.

1t was on the afternoon of the very
warmest day in August that the chill
dren came running to me, CRYING.
" There are some boys and girls from
the village out on the hill, and thew all
have brought their sleds.' When I
reached the spacious balcony was al
most convinced that the whole valley
had been bewitched. There were gath
cred at least twenty children and half a
dozen sleds. The boys were dragging
the sleds up the steep slope of the hill
side that rose from the road in front of
the house, while the girls followed as
well as they could. 1t was not by any
means an easy feat to climb this slope.
Though at casual glance it seemed as
soft and yelvety as well-kept lawn, it
was to the unwary a de1usion and a
snare. The midsummer sun shines
down upon the Adirondack mountains
with as much ardor as on the CITY
streets. Though the nights are cool.
there are no dews, and usually but lit
tie rain. So the short, thick grass. that
grows abundantly upon the sides of the
lesser mountains, or, more properly
speaking, the foothills, becomes some
what parched and smooth and slippery
as ice. The children then had before
them quite an amount of hard walking,
but they were like mountain goats,
hardy, willing and able to climb any,
thing. AT last the top was reached.
Then the sleds were turned upside
down and the runners were rubbed
vigorously with candles; this completed,
the sleds were put in proper position
again, three children seated themselves
upon each, and gentle push started
them down the slope. How swiftly
they came! The slope was steep but
smooth; not rock, stump or stone on
its surface; there was no danger and
the sleds stopped on the sandy road.
For two long hours this colony of chill
dren coasted-till the grsss was worn
almost to the roots, and the supply of
tallow (Which is indispensable for this
midsummer coasting) was exhausted

How Mamma Caught a Monkey.

$ So that's one way of catching a
monkey" said Mamma Hanley, shut
ting her book.
"They haven't got much sense,
then" said Herbie. eff they had,
they'd pull their paws out and then
turn the bottle down-side up, and get
the corn that way. l guess that's
fish-story about a monkey, mamma. l
don't believe they'd be so foolish.
don't believe anything would"
For answer, Mamma Hanley did
funny thing. She took a china vase
off the mantel-piece and dropped a
piece of candy in it, and set it where
the siXteen-months-old baby, May,
would see it,
Then they all watched her-Mamma
Hanley and Bee and Lulu and Herbie.
Baby Mays bright eyes soon spied
the vase, and in minute the candy.
She put in her wee hand, but when it
was doubled into a wee fist, with the
candy in it, she couldn't get it out.
And she wouldn't, no, she would not
let go the candy
Herbie ?" asked Mamma Hanley; and
tney all began 10 laugn. come, BABY,
open your hand now"
But baby wouldn't open her hand;
she wanted the candy. The poor little
wrist got red, and pretty soon the baby
began to cry; but still she kept her fist
doubled tight up.
{" believe I'll have to break the
vase" said Mamma Hanley; and L
really think she would if the baby
hadn't just then thumped it against
the table leg and shivered it in pieces
herself.
"Dere !" said she; and so she got
her candy.
" Well, monkeys and babies are all
the same," said Herbie.
But Mamma Hanley doesn't think
so.- Youths Companion.

Temperance.
How Girls May Help.

l have Just few remarks to make in
regard to the work of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union and how
we girls may aid in it, / think it would
be well to begin by building our own
characters, thus molding our future.
This will aid in leaving good heritage
to those who are to follow after us.
Then we will want to begin with the
first principles of hygiene. We must
form good habits, and endeavor to
eradicate any which are not good. Our
habits must be in accordance with the
laws which govern our being. First,
let us be systematic and temperate in
all things, and educate our bodies and
minds up to healthy standard. We
cannot be healthful either in body or
soul if we are continually doing those
things which are strictly forbidden. 1t
matters not whether we commit an
error innocently or willingly, the pen
atty follows just so sure as the law is
violated. And if ignorant of those laws
and penalties, then certainly it is our
duty to study them, that we may under
stand the cause and effect, and there
fore be able to overcome the evil. Why
has our Creator given to us reason and
bodies fashioned after his image? Ger
tainly not to be neglected, but to be
cultivated and developed. This can be
done by constantly exercising our physi-
cal and mental powers in the proper
manner. We must, as far as possible,
keep our physical system in perfect
order; this is at least good beginning.
When our system is not properly de-
veloped, or if there is lack of tone,
perhaps for the want of exercise or
proper nourishment, the remedy usually
applied is an alcoholic stimulant-while
lating exercise, plenty of fresh air and
sunshine, and good wholesome food for
both body and mind. This call for
stimulants by the system indicates de-
ficiency somewhere, and we must sup
ply that deficiency by something else
besides alcohol. But our physiology
teaches us that there is no need for
stimulants if our whole system is well
nourished and all the functions of the
various organs are properly performed
We the young women of our country will
soon be called upon to assume this
work which is now being carried on by
these noble women of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, and it is
our duty to be prepared in every way to
meet the many requirements and fill
the various departments of this great
work which has been so well begun and
brought up to what it is to-day. We
should attend these meetings and be-
come interested, and aid in every way
we can. And finally, when our mothers
transfer the work into our hands, may
we be able to take it up bravely and in
dependently, and show by our deeds
that we have learned well the many
lessons taught and have followed the
noble examples which they have set be-
fore u.s. Exchange.

The Moon and Its -" Shine.v

" WIZ you pull back the curtains, Mammal" he said.
There's beautiful moon tonight
And want to lie right here in my bed
And watch it, so yellow and bright"
so tried to arrange the curtains and bed
For the dear little laddie of mine
" Can you see it now?" No." he cheerfully said,
But can see its beautiful shine"
Dear baby! his innocent answer prize
1t is full of meaning divine;
"hen the bright things we wish drift away from our
eyes
May not we, too, rejoice in their shine?"
