"IIow does the thermometer stand
down there?" some ono asked.
Thermometer. Why. We have
stopped paying any attention to thr.
momcters. People who owned fine
Thermometers and who wanted to keep
them had to send them out Of tho
ncighborhood to keep them from melt

"Wish you would tell us a fact. !"
some one replied.

put fresh eggs in ice water tho other
day to keep them from spelling. and.
sir, five minute, afterwards We ate
them ~
"What?"
"Ycs. VIC ate them. They were
boiled"
After q season Of rather enjoyable
silence, some one asked:
"Nat. do>you need rain in your
ncighborhood?"
"Ycs, needing 1t badly. The river
is down lower than ever saw 1t be.

"Lowcr than It was in seventy.

party Of us were sitting in my yard when
n stranger came along and asked how
far it was to the river. We couldn't
keep from laughing"
"Why2"
because he hal crossed the river
without seeing it Since then those OF
us who have an interest in the river
have devised plan for keeping up APP

"How?"
"Why. VIC bought sprinkler, and
now, every day, We sprinkle the river

YES"
"Well, we've had to turn him out Of

"What for?"
Because no is such liar. A liars

one OF our church members have been
tampcring with the truth we 60 to him
politely and kick him ont of the COM

Shortly after Nat took his departure
some one circulated tho report that he
was suspected OF not having u devoted
love for the truth. Evil may not result
from the report, but Nat is avery sensi-
tive man. He is actually foolish in this
way. One OF his friends once knocked
him down and It is said that he has not
spoken to the fellow since that time. =

able fidelity and success. The local option
plan has been pursued in several Southern
States, and has fully justified itself
Many counties in the Carolinas, Georgia,

cured prohibition within their limits. At
u recent temperance meeting in Boston
Professor Stewart of South Carolina said
that it was almost impossible, at the pres
ent time, to obtain liquor in his State. The
traffic in strong drink, he asserted, has
fallen off sirtB per cent in ten years in his
State. And this he declared, is true not
only of South Carolina, but of Georgia,
North Carolina, Louisiana, and even
Texas, which has the reputation of
being one of the most lawess and intern
perate of the Southern States.
Such showing as this is eminently
gratifying to all friends of temperance re-
form, and must inspire new activity and
hope. Gradually, but surely, the liquor
traffic is being driven to the wall in this
country, and men of the present genera.

\ Doubtful Victory.

The English Conservatives have won II
doubtful victory in the defeat of the
Gladstone administration upon the que$
ton of the tax on beer Mr., Gladstone
takes his defeat III a way which they do
not like. He is not crushed-he does not
even seem to he disturbed. He is alto
gether too willing to resign the response
blities and care of his great Office. The
Conservatives do not know what to make
of it.
Perhaps, however, they Will discover
before long, that what they thought was
IA famous victory is, after all, IA defeat,
Mr.. Gladstone probably does not consider
the Conservatives capable of taking up
the reins of the government, and eXtri-
eating the country from its present en-
barraSsments. He is willing To stand
back, however, and let them try. Neither
he nor his party have any serious obiec-
tons TO seeing the confidence of their
rivals taken down. Already the dismay
and uncertainty of the Conservative party
must be atfording some entertainment
to Mr.. Gladstone and his friends.
The Conservative press is hating
between two opinions. The Ieicgrdph is
reserved in its comments on the defeat of
the budget and the proposed resignation
of the ministry and pays IA tribute of re-
spect to Mr.. Gladstone, "who fills" it
says, "a place in council and debate that
none but himself can FILL" The Conser-
vative Stdnddrd speaks of Mr.. Gladstone S
resignation as "almost an outrage and an
rreparabe injury to the country" The
London Times warns the Conservatives
that the tide is all against them. There is
but one voice from the American and
European press, condemning the foolish
ness and short-sightedness of the Conser-
vatives, and predicting ultimate success
for the Liberals.
1t is easy to conjecture the probable
outcome of the ministerial crisis. The Lon
don Liberal organ, the NcpS, is probably
right when it says that the defeat is but
'the stepping stone to "A long success
and 'the precursor of a return to power on
an overwhelming wave of popular en-
thusiasm." When the people come tC
settle the question at the approaching
elections, it is not difficult to predict which
party will go under,
The lesson of temporary defeat may
also be Il wholesome one to the Com erVa
tive party. Lord Spencer and his follow
ers will be likely to have their eyes opened
on certain points-especially the lrisl
question. The English government can
not much longer afford to pursue its ole
policy towards Ireland, Military and con
stabulary rule in Ireland will soon have

Until recently the impression has pre-
vailed that of all sections of the United
States the South was the most given to
intemperance. Northern people have
commonly supposed that liquor was II
more popular beverage than water III the
States south of Mason and DiXou's line.
Every Southern planter has been sup
posed to take his "eye-opener" in the
morning and his "night-cap'' on retiring,
as regularly as he took his meals and to
take not Il few drinks between drinks. y
Before the war, perhaps, this may have
been the case but things have changed
in various ways in the South since the
war 1t is certain that to-day there is as
pronounced ii temperance sentiment in
portions of the South as anywhere in the
North, and it has even been asserted
though II is probably not strictly so-that
on the whole the liquor laws are better en-
forced in the States south of the old sec
tional line than north of it,
The change at the South in this matter
is due to several causes. In the days be
fore the war the wealthy white people of
the South were good livers, given to a
lavish hospitality, and fond of all the
indulgences of comparatively idle and
selfish life. The free use of liquor was
natural enough under such circumstances,
and it gradually became Il social custom
rs well as personal indulgence. The south
erners used to assert that there was less
beastly intoXication in the South during
these days of free liquor than in the North.
which, if true, was certainly an anomaly
! hard to account for-but the vice was
nevertheless the cause of n great deal of
recklessness, misery and crime, there as
everywhere. The war came, and changed
all these patrician conditions OF lie
among the whites Good living and free
hospitality became largely things of the
past Indulgence degenerated into dis
spation, habits of hard drinking increas
ed and became an unbearable curse
prompting to deeds of violence and crime
and producing utter pauperism where
before there was Il bare supply of the
necessares of life. by and by temperance
sentiment began to take hold upon the
people, and the South rallied from its de
preston, and the arts and industries begaI
to he cultivated. Since then the growth 81
the temperance movement has been steady
and sure. With true moral insight, the
people of the South have fought shy 81
license laws, and have based their hope'
and efforts on the solid foundation of pro
hibtion-a genuine prohibition, not mere
