Drunkenness.

DO you know, children, that the most
terrible evil in all the world is drunken
ness, that it causes more misery, wick
edness, and suffering, than all other evil
combinedS II ends in poverty. shame
and death, yet its beginnings lie in the
beautiful sparkling wine, the innocent,
apparently harmless, cider or beer.
Wine has been compared to serpent,
which glides so quietly through the grass
that you never suspect its approach nor
stung you aud there 10 no hope. Little
should sign the pledge, for if they never
no danger of their ever being drunkard..
A little boy happened To DC near the
gallows where a young man WAS to he

boy went home and sigued the pledge.
Do not wait little children, until some

A story OF bismarck
lBelgravia.l

When Bismarck had been appointed
to the Legation at Frankfort, he was pre-.
sent at public ball where member OF
the French Corps Legislatif, NJ. Juvois
de Clancy, was pointed out to him as a
noted fire-eater.
This gentleman had been Republican
but had turned his coat after the coup
d'etat. He was big man with dandified
airs, but evidently not much accustomed
to society, for he had brought his hat
not compressible one-into the ballroom
and iu Waiting he held it in his left
hand.
The sight of the big Frenchmau career.
ing round the room with his hat ex.
tended at arms length was too much for
Bismarck's sense of fun; so a. VI. Juvoi-
revolved past him, he dropped copper
coin into the hat.
The Frenchmsn, turning purple,
stopped short in his dancing, led back
his partner to her place, and then came
with flashing eyes to demand satisfac.

There would have been assault and
battery on the spot if friends had not in.

the Frenchmsn and the Prussisn met
with pistols and the former WAS wound

The gradual decline of the human
nose is the result of the introduction and
general use of handkerchiefs. The Ro-
mans never used handkerchiefs, and
their noses, as we al know, were the
largest and finest type.
Moreover, they were less liable TO
colds in the head than are people of the
present time, and their noses enjoyed
almost sinecure. AS civilization spread
n0rthward from Italy, the inhabitants of
the cold and variable climate of North
ern Europe found that their noses were
constantly called into activity, and as a
consequence the average European nose
fell below the Roman standard.
Within modern times the handker.
chief was invented, and new and potent
factor in the reduction of noses came
into existence. Constan. friction will
wear away the hardest stone, much more
the soft and cartilaginous nose. Under
the friction of the handkerchiefs the
noses of the present century have stead
lily diminished, until small noses are worn
almost as much az spectacles.

An enthusiastic Baptist paper has
been gathering missionary statistics
which show that the combined heather
converts now connected with missionary
stations under the charge of the Presby-
terians, Congregationalists, Methodists,
Christians and Episcopalians number
1874, while the Baptists alone have
liz, 263 heather to their credit.
Thus the Baptists have made 1858
more converts than have been made by
all the other prominent religious bodies.
Its statistics of the cost Of converts show
that the average cost per convert ranges
from 1892 03-the cost of an Episcopa-
liam convert-S37 05, the cost of Bap-
fist convert; the Presbyterians costing
1926 81; the CoDgregationalists, $24S IA;
the Methodist, $117 81.
The Baptist editors thereupon tri-
umphantly remarks: Zone dollar given
by American Baptists accomplishes as
much as six. dollars given by other de-
nominations" But perhaps the other
denominations will dispute the quality
of the converts and the durability or
wear of their conversion.

The poor look always cold. They are
always ragged and dirty, in very pictur.
esque clothes, and on their poor shoes
lies the earth OF the Lacustrine period |;
and yet what a privilege it is to be ever
a beggar in Rome! l thought so at st.
Peters on Sunday, as heard Cardinal
Howard a stately prince of the church
and most admired by the English ladies
here, who, il is said, kiss the hem of his
garments.
On the occasion OF his splendid cere.
mony the choir of the Sistine chapel an
swered antiphonally the choir of the
Cathedral. The famous tenors sang their
best, and so did the sopranos of ST. John
Laterap; and no such music was ever
heard in all the world outside of Rome.
In front of me stood the little beggsr
brothers, no covering on their curly
heads. They were enrsptured with the
music, a. they well might be, and shamed
my Protestant GOODNESS by kneeling and
crossing themselves in the right places.
They were very much in my way, and
they smelt Of poverty and garlic; but /
envied them--for they can always see
this Rome, while ] must leave IL. |
gave them small copper tribute Of re-
spect, and of gratitude that they had
taught me how rich beggar might be.
They rewarded me with n smile Raphael
might have coveted, and a compliment
in Italian far sweeter than anything i
have ever heard in English.

Terra-Cotta Tiles.

The use Of terra-cotta taee for the
roofing Of buildings is now advocated
by engineers Of the highest rpnte, in
place of slate and other popular matei-
ais. The tiles are very light, owing to
the rectangular holes travesing them
longitudinarily; but recent experiments
have shown that they are capable of
bearing the enormous pressure Of 394
pounds per square foot, and, when pro-
tected from blows by thin sheathing,
furnish one of the best materials avail
able for the hoors of large structures.
