MORNING. AUGUST 21, 1886.

St. Andrews Protestant Episcopal church of Chicago, sees great evil in the public schools there as now conducted. He said from his pulpit on Sunday that, just as sure as the
 secular tendency of the schools prevailed,
 atheism and infdelity would flourish in the
 land, leaving the inevitable fruits of anarchy
 and communism. He thought the secular
 ization of the schools largely responsible for
 the growing evils of the social and business
 world. Without Bible, without Christ, with out religion, almost without morality, they could not but breed atheism and wickedness. MT. Green proposes to establish parochial schools in his parish. to in some measure counteract the baneful influence of the public schools.
 The Newport News says that prohibition does not prohibit in Rhode Island. It says that after the law went into effect few weeks ago it's friends "pointed with pride'' to the fact that the number of arrests for drunkenness was at first very much reduced, and they paraded these statistics as evidence of the wisdom and efficiency of the law. But since then there has been change, and dur ing the past two weeks the number of such arrests in Newport has been about twice as large as for the corresponding term last year. The conclusion the paper reaches is this: ''In the temperance crusade no greater mis- take can be made than to feel that the battle is won because friendly statute has been enacted. As matter of fact, the battle of prohibition was then only begun. If, there fore, anyone asks, Does prohibition pro hibit9 we should say, Mo- and that, too, without the least disparagement of the prin- ciple inyolved.'

Behold, will send and take Nebuchadnezf gar, the King of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that have hid and he shall spread his royal pa- vilion over them. And he shall come and smite the land of Egypt"
 The revised version gives as an alternative reading for "the brickwork which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house" the words 'Fpave- ment or square," MT. Petrie found in the course of his excavations, facing the entrance to the building, Gan area of continuous brickwork resting on sand about one hun dred by sixty feet" The patchwork is two or three feet thick, and was apparently de- signed as an open-air platform for meetings or the transaction of public business. The palace was destroyed by fire, and it is req sonable to believe that the torch was applied by the soldiers of the Babylonian King when. as is we'll known, Nebuchadnezzar verified the words of the prophet by his in- vasion of Egypt.
 All these fruitful researches are not only serving to elucidate the text of the sacred volume, but they are also affording new and striking proofs of the great fact that the Bi- ble is the most logical and reasonable of books. We kuow now more fully than we ever understood before the discoveries of re- cent years, that there is no book in the world more worthy of investigation.

Train Talk.


 ''Must be big money in the melon busi- ness,'' said loquacious man on Illinois Central train. 'I see they're selling lem in Chicago at 26 cents apiece. There's money in that The farmers ought to be getting rich. Why, down in Michigan where used to live often raised 500 whopping big melons on patch no bigger'n the floor of this here car"
 '.That'l never do" replied the man in the next seat, with an incredulous smile; ''that'H never do in the world. Six hundred melons would cover space as big as the floor of this car all over so you couldn't see the ground. It must be your stories that whoppers instead of the melons"
 ''That shows all of you know about the melon business. Of course, 600 melons would cover piece of ground of that size all up, and 8 good deal more Everybody knows that. There wouldn't be any fun in the business if they didn't. Why, sir, when I had a truck farm over ill Michigan melons were dirt cheap, and it took a good deal of ingenuity to make any money out of 'em. But by little ingenuity and close fgurin' I managed to come out ahead, though the market was simply awful. My farm lay right alongside a railroad switch, and I used to have the company give me train of box cars on that track. Then after the vines got good start and just my melons were about to grow-melons grow powerful fast and big out of the soil of old Michigan when they get started-I'd have my men start the vines growin' into the car doors. In three days and nights I'd have every one of them cars loaded full to the roof with nice, ripe watermelons, and all there was to do then. was hitch an engine an draw 'em off to market Yes, sir, the starting mp of the locomotive picked the melons, an saved me Ina # inl-i oJ,l lna1 you never raised melons for livin', did you mister.

ADVICE TO GIRLS.
How to Look Beautiful and What to
 do in the Spring.
From the St. Louis Chronicle.l

From the St. Louis Chronice.l
 Girls, if your skin be dark be satisfied to be in the category of the nut-brown maid ems, if for no other reason than that 'Ethe leopard cannot change his spots." Let the sun kiss the dusky cheek and add to it the ruddy glow that belongs to the dark skin, and which the rouge pot cannot supply.
 Of course you can't change your features But you needn't trouble yourself much on that score. Some person has said that if our Mary could put some of her beauty of fea- ture into real everyday prettiness she would be loved where she is now admired.
 The towering -nosed maiden among the proud daughters of the Nile was the beauty of Solomon's day, as was the woman with nose at all in the time of Tamerlane. In the land of the free there is no standard of beauty on the nose question. The American nose is type all to itself. But at all events your nose is foregone conclusion, and all the sleeping in clothespins to pinch down the prominent nostrils or stroking with the lead pencil to subdue the obnoxious bump, is so much labor thrown away. But when it comes to the mouth the would-be beauty has 8 more promising subject to deal with Al though the shape of a feature cannot be al tered, if the lips be kept~fresh and the teeth in perfect condition, very much Is gained. If the spot where love seals it's VOWS be of an exaggerated size, don't be constantly the grin, as that keeps the muscles on the stretch. Cultivate classic repose of fea- ture Keep the mouth shut when asleep for more reasons than one. Don't snore. New CT bite the lips to make them red or for any other reason Bathe them occasionally in water with little dissolved alum or borax, and apply glycerine and tincture of ben zoine. This will keep the lips fresh looking. The only harmless way to keep them IS by contrast with teeth, which should be milk white.
 A good tooth beautiier is powdered sul- phur, which is also an excellent tooth pre- server. This may be used daily. For occa- sional use, say once a week, the following is good: Pumice stone, one ounce; bicarbon- ate of soda, one-half ounce; powdered tale, one-half ounce. Fresh looking lips, clean, white teeth and breath like sweet franklin cense, aloe and myrrh will make up for many deficiency in feature.
 If the ear be big and obtrusive, 8 loose ar rangement of the hair or a few curled locks brushed carelessly back will help the objec- tionable organ wonderfully. Never comb the hair tight back from an ugly ear. As for the eyes, better leave them alone. Trimmed lashes often refuse to grow again Dark eyebrows and lashes are great promo ter of beauty, and if yours happen to be lighter than your hair. especially if that is red, I think you might just touch them lightly with sponge dipped in black walnut bark boiled in water with a little alum, or apply simple walnut juice. The eyebrow may be given slight arch and the fne line so much sought by simply pinching the hairs together between the fingers several times a day.
 But it is through the complexion that you

A swET,, AND ssDRY,, FIGHT.


 The prohibition movement in the South is far ahead of that in the North in fervor and success. The canvass which ended in the recent election in Kinds county, Missis- sippi, illustrates how the "dry'' and "wet" parties work. h Kinds county there are many more negroes than whites, and strong effort was made to catch the negro vote. Runners were sent out with whisky to cor rupt the colored people and their fears were played upon by the assertion that the "dry'' party only meant prohibition as the first step towards remanding the negroes to slav- cry. Threats were made against colored preachers who opposed the saloon and the most incendiary speeches were made.
 But the ''dry' folks were not apathetic. A correspondent thus describes their work: In this state of things 8 convention was called at Raymond five days before the cleo tion. About one hundred of the best men in the county of all callings and of both races were present. After reviewing the situation and deploring the race issue thrust upon us, it was resolved to meet the crisis, and with terrible earnestness," in the interest of all the people, it was resolved to carry the county. No threat was made, but this grave assemblage of preachers, lawyers, physicians, farmers, merchants-men of both races-sol- emnly called upon the people to rise up and rebuke the unholy purposes of the whisky ring. The word flew over the county. Nine tenths of the white people and practically all the colored preachers and teachers were on the side of prohibition, as were all the educated colored people except one or two politicians. All business was practically suspended and the men and women gave themselves 10 the one thing of carrying the county. The people were of one mind and they pressed tine fight with great vigor and wisdom. Not single act of violence was perpetrated, but the whisky men were not allowed to address the negroes anywhere without the presence of prohibitlonists. This paralyzed them. They were compelled to divide time at many places. No attempt was made to break up their meetings.
 At Jackson on election day the women had an all-day prayer meeting and bells were tolled. Telegrams were received from other counties saying, 'We are praying for you" And thus the county was carried for prohi- bition.

The negroes in Alabama are excited over the report that in the event of 8 war with Mexico the United States government, in consideration of the fact that it used all it's power to secure their freedom, will draft them into the army and give them chance to show their gratitude by conquering the Mexicans. Their excitement has been much augmented by practical jokers telling them that the Mexicans are terrible fighters, and such expert marksmen that they never fail to pick off man at distance of two hundred yards.
