Success--and Ruin.

About forty years ago, a little girl
named Mary Ann Brown lived in an OBJ
scure village of Yorkshire, England.
Her father was poor laborer, and she
had no education up to her twelfth
year. But the girl had extraordinary
beauty, q singular force of will, and
great ambition.
She resolved to be "a great lady"
and as London is the field in which all
the English people look for adventure,
she persuaded her uncle to take her up
to the great sssy in his cart, for two
days visit. is soon as they had
reached London Bridge she dropped
from the back of the cart and disap-
peared.
AT this time she was penniless, she
could not write her name, and she
spoke with the rich Yorkshire burr,
which is as unintelligible to Londoners
as the dialect of the Zulus.
Seven years later she reappeared I'M
der romantic name upon the stage Of
o leading London theater, and won the
plaudits of the town, not only for her
remarkable beauty, but for the excep-
tional purity and pathos with which
she rendered Shakspeare's text.
In the meantime she made herself q
proficient in three languages, had
learned the literature of her own coun-
try, and the manners of well-bred peo-
pie. How it was done or by what
means she won her successes, no one
but herself knew. There was the fact,
and it proved the extraordinary force
Of intellect and will which had been
given to Mary Ann Brown, and which
might have made her life great, useful,
and happy-if she had 80 chosen.
She became great actress, well known
In every English-speaking country, for
the splendor of her beauty, her genius,
her lavish generosity, and the lures
with which she led men to destruction.
How many happy homes she entered,
to leave them a wreck, only she and
God knew.
She died suddenly, in the height Of
her fame and fortune, In Paris cafe,
from disease brought on by indul-
gence at the table; and after she was
dead her body was wrapped in quilt
and hauled to the morgue. Her whole
life was drama, and this was its end.
There is force In the proverb "De
mortuis nil mist bo7slInl" (Speak only
good of the dead. But when the gilt
ter and power of a wasted life allure
the young into the same road, il Is only
just at its close to show them the OPP
portunities wasted In 1t, its true charsc-
ter, and its uphallowed end. Youths

Prohibition in Kansas.

Eli Perkins melville d. Landon) passed
through Indianapolis the other day on his
lecture route East. When a Journal re-
porter asked him what was the status of
the prohibition movement in Kansas, he
said: Prohibition in Kansas is a practi-
cal success. 1t has grown in favor from
the commencement, until now every saloon
in the State is absolutely sealed up. Yes,
sir, every saloon. Even down at Wichita,
over to Dodge City and in Wyandotte. To-
peka, Atchison and Leavenworth closed
their last saloons months ago. Dodge City
closed last week. There is no social drink
ing in the State. No man can treat an
other. If a man wants a drink he must
go alone to drug store, make written
statement that he is sick, name the disease
and carry the pint bottle home. The law
is not broken by drinking in a saloon, for
there are no saloons but men will some
times break the law in the. drug store by
lying. They say they are sick when they
are well. | don't believe the prohibition
law is broken any oftener than the law
against stealing or SANDER. All laws, even
the law against murder, are broken. Tenn
perance is reducing taxes, money is more
plenty, and the old wrinkled whisky faces
are smoothing themselves out. Even the
drunkards VINO have boys growing up are
in favor of prohibition. Speaking of takes,
Mcpherson, which used to pay 81 800 for a
Marshal and three policemen to govern
the town, has dismissed the policemen and
employed lower priced Marshal. 1t costs
the city now but 800 year. She saves
81 400 year. A reporter of the Topeka
Capital told me that, on an average, twenty
five law -and-order breakers used to be ar
rested daily; now. said he, it has been four
days since single man has been arrested.
The jails are becoming empty. 1t is affect
ing Kansas immigration. 1t has brought a
boom of splendid emigrants. Incorporate
emigrants now stop in Missouri. "-[West-

liquor drinking upon the human voice.
Circulars were sent to all the eminent vo-
calists of the world, as well as singing
masters, and the universal testimony was
that stimulants, even in small quantities,
are injurious. Of-3So vocalists who were
questioned regarding their drinking habits,
almost 80 per cent. admitted that they
drank regularly or occasionally; but IS per
cent, ON the other hand, refuse to take any
stimulant either Immediately before or
during the use of the voice, as an aid to its
exercise. Spirits are used by only per
cent, while much larger number take
the trouble to especially condemn their
use. The inquiry revealed many curious
practices among singers to improve their
voices. Madame Jenny Lind Goldschmidt
has great faith in the value of raisins.
which she deals out to her pupils during
their lesson hours. Quite a number of
vocalists who are careful to refrain from
eating before singing will eat heartily ofra;-
sins. Stress is laid upon the unwisdom Of
trying to cultivate the voice of boys or girls
before the age of puberty. The reason
why many boys, who have excellent voices
when young, fail to retain their ability to
sing is, that strain is put upon the vocal
organs while passing from boyhood TO
acknowledgements Monthly.

Valuable Uses of Paper.

An exchange says Paper, being air.
tight, will exclude cold, and should be
used more than it now is. Builders place
papers between the board and clap-boards
OF house, and we should do wei to fol-
low their example in smaller matters.
Paper spread between bed coverings will
take the place of extra blankets folded
paper is an excellent lung protector; one
over the chest and another around the
shoulders, under the outside garment,
would often save cold and perhaps pneu-
monia.
Scraps of paper, wet and scattered over
the floor when sweeping. will save the dust
in the room, as well as brighten the carpet
Bits of paper with soapsuds are effectual
in cleaning bottles, and are easily removed
with the water Greasy dishes and kettles.
If first rubbed with paper, wash much
easier. The paper absorbs the grease, and
is all the better for kindling the fire.
A grease spot can often be taken out of a
carpet or garment by placing two or three
layers of paper over it, and then put a
warm iron on the paper. The heat softens
the grease and the paper absorbs it, and by
changing paper and iron occasionally the
grease will disappear.
Soft newspaper or tissue paper is prefer
able to cloth for cleaning lamp chimneys,
windows, mirrors, etc, as it leaves no lint ;
also for knives, spoons and tinware after
securing; and stove will not need black
ing SO often if now and then rubbed with
paper.
Scraps of writing paper or that used only
on one side may be utilized in several
ways.
Bowls and glasses without covers may be
used for jelly by cutting round of paper
the size of the top, dip in brandy and press
down evenly upon the jelly; cut another
cover of softer paper large enough to paste
down on the outside of the jar.
Paper in bread and cake tins protects
the loaf from burning, and insures its
safe removal from the tin. By this
help a tin with holes in it may be
used. Laid over a loaf of cake in the
oven, paper is also protection; but I'M
less il is warmed first, the cake may settle.

Our COLD WAvEs.-The first appearance
of cold waves within the territory of the
United States Signal Service is nearly al
ways at Helena, Mont, according to Lieut.
7. A. Woodruff, their place of origin prob
ably being the vast regions of ice and snow
near the Arctic circle. From Helena they
usually reach Omaha in eight to sixteen
hours, the distance being $50 miles; ST.
Louis in twenty-four to thirty-two hours,
distance $50 miles Galveston twenty-four
to forty hours, distance 600 miles; Nash
vile the same; Buffalo twenty -four to forty
eight hours, distance 1,750 miles; Wash
ington thirty-two to fifty-eight hours, dis
lance 1858 miles. The waves are found to
follow areas of low pressure and to precede
areas of high pressure. They move in diff
ferent ways First, directly eastward, over
the great lakes and across New England
not being felt south of the Ohio valley ;
second, southeasterly, covering the entire
country in their progress third, southerly,
from Montana and Dakota to Texas, thence
through the Gulf States, and finally north
eastward over the Atlantic States, such
waves being sometimes felt at st. Louis and
Shreveport before reaching St. Paul and
Chicago. The number of waves belonging
to the three classes during the years 1881 to
1884 was %, AZ and 10.

A CLEAR DAY IN WINTER,

The lark, with song divine
Lifts up his praises to the winter morn,
Because the golden sun once more does shine
Yer grassy fields by windy torrents torn.
The sweet and calm sunlight
Calls forth his triumph loud,
The while he cleaveth swift with new delight
Some misty skirt of night-exhausted cloud.
He knows full well, poor lark,
That clouds will roll amain
To fling across the green their shadows dark,
And food the trimming pools with splashing
rain.

And gloriiy the paths all dull and gray,
Where once my soul went singing like the
