Every day we are more impressed With
the importance of this glorious organiza-
tion. There is no temperance organization
in the world that does as much effective
work as the W. c. 7. L. Almost every
mail leaves on our desk some evidence of
their activity and usefulness. Now it is
the plans for Worlds W. c. r. T., then
it is one of Il series of monthly readings
for local unions, to aid them in knowing
and planning their work. again it is an adj
dress from the department on social pnr-
iiy, an effort to help our boys, God bless
them. And So the work goes on and is
growing. The evil of incompetence is
many-sided, and is met on every side by
department of the W. c. T. L. The to-
bacco and opium evils are great ones and
there is department for each; we expect
there would be department ON the Chinese
question if it were not confined to the Pa
cfic coast states. And so the work goes ON.
Miss Willard, an able general OF mighty.

and meets him at every point with 4 force
of disciplined women who have left the
words cant" and fail" out of their
dictionary, and have substituted "faith''
and work in their places. All honor to
the noble women, the wives, mothers and
sisters of the land. God is with them and
their work goes bravely on.-1he Ecbo.

New Jersey Conference:
The educational and reform departments
of the work cannot be innoccntly neglect
ed Juvenile organizations for instruc-
tion and enlistment are recommended
wherever practicable, and since the effort
to secure law requiring the teaching of
the subject in the public schools has failed,
we advise the use of Miss Coleman's Cate
chism in our Sunday Schools, so far as
may be prudently done. We advise, too,
that the several organizations that are ac-
lively at work, and especially the Wo-
as efficient and vigorous as possible. Yet.
in addition to all these agencies, the one
overshadowing and imperative demand up
ON the friends of temperance is the sup
preston of the liquor traffic. This only
can be done by united, vigorous and per-
sistent use of the ballot. We therefore
earnestly urge all foes to the iniquitouS
traffic, and all who desire to aid in its over
throw, to intclligently and conscicntiously
use their voting power to this end.

A citizen of Bridgeton Informed rs
few days ago that the manufacturers OF
that place did not find the no-license plan
to work us satisfactorily, SO far rs their
business was concerned. as the license sys-
TEN formerly did, and they accounted for
it in this way: that formerly when their
employees were disposed to drink, they
could quietly step ont to the most eonve-
nicnt rum-mil and take their occasional
DRAM returning To work without the loss
of much time, whereas, under the no
license system, they were debaTcd from
occasional indulgences of this nature and
made mp for it by purchasing in larger
quantities, keeping if by them and indulg-
ing to excess. thereby uniting them for
work and causing loss to the employers
The thought naturally suggested itself TO
MS that an easy remedy for this trouble
would be to employ only men who would
do their work without requiring liquor in
either way. Many employers of labor are
solving the question in this manner with
very satisfactory results. 1t is ridiculous
that man with large money interests at
stake. depending on the faithful perfor-
nance Of duty by an employee, should
consent to hazard them upon the appetite
for strong drink ON the part of the en-
ployc. We suspect that if the money
wasted by laborug men for rum in the
course of year was. as a rule, applied to
the support of their families instead, We
would hear much less Of labor strikes
than We do now -a-dayS.

Something About Snakes.

There is a man in Danbury, Conn, who
treats rheumatism, spriains, swellings. lame.
ness and other disorders with the help of
black snakes. A remarkable cure is reported
upon the person Of a man, whose ankle was SO
swollen as to almost prevent his walking, who
was induced to test the snakes cure. He
was taken to the snake doctors house
on King street After showing the
swollen ankle to athe 1keeperof serpents, he
allowed him to do as he pleased. A large
box, containing perhaps q dozen writing
black snakes, was brought into the room.
Selecting one about three feet in length,
the snakeman proceeded to wind it about
the rheumatic limb, which was barred.
The serpent Kissed and tried TO escape, but
after another attempt it was lseld firmly, and
in o few moments became quiet Twenty
minutes elapsed, ard the snake fell from the
mans leg apparently fstapefed, The pain,
which had been intensified by the Journey,
was pronounced gone. Another application
was made With a fresh snake, as the one Just
usedicould net be made toastay on Soon it
fell to the floor 90 the other had done. The
swelling had by this time entirely disappeared.

Photographic Posing.

ST am sometimes moved to wonder
writes New York correspondent,
whether the photographs which line the
shop-windows of Broadway are considered
beautiful by their feminine originals. What
might be called contortion craze has in
vaded the photograph gallery, and women
have their pictures taken in poses THAI
would have m ade their mothers gasp with
amazement twenty years ago. This is not
only true of actresses, but also of women
who are socially eminent. One well-known
leader of New York society-not Mrs.
Potter, by the way-is on exhibition in nu-
merous copies Of photograph which de-
picts her in gorgeous evening attire, reclin-
ing at half length upon low chair, with
her arms stretched back over her head
holding huge feather fan aloft. She is
looking at the fan, and the effort throws
her head so far back that the tendons Of
her throat stand out like whipcords. Even
Miss Ada Rehan, who is usually acknowl-
edged to be woman of good taste, has
had herself photographed in somewhat
similar manner. Only the head and neck
are shown. The view is from in front and
the chin is held so high in the air that one
sees nothing but long throat very much
strained and topping off in sharp-pointed
chin. Above the chin may be seen, in
dim horizontal perspective, the features of
Miss Rehan, the nose alone rising distinct
from the somewhat blurred hue of the face.
The photograph is lfe-size. The effect is
unpleaSant.

Correspondence Chicago Herald.
The whole crowd within sight of the
track numbered about quarter of a mill
ion, and. mind you, Pm not drawing on
my Imagination. This morning at s:45 a
cannon shot proclaimed to the populace the
fact that NuSred-Deen had started from
his palace to the racecourse. The troops.
some $4,000 in all, were already
awaiting his coming, drawn up
in a semi-circle lining part of the
track. His majesty rode in a gorgeous
state carriage. thickly incrusted with gold
and jewels, followed and preceded by
retinue of a thousand servants and officials.
The procession opened with an elephant of
leviathan proportions, hung all over with
gold brocade and cornak on his neck.
Everybody had to keep step with him. He
was followed by numerous camel artil-
lery, the guns being pointed straight
at the sky. But to speak of the
races themselves. There were six
of them. The first was six times
around the track {three farsakhs. or
exactly eleven and half English miles).
the second five times, and so on till the last
one, once around the track. These horses
here cannot run a short distance as fast as
the fastest of our American horses or as the
English racehorses, but they excel in long
distance races. The eleven and a half
miles of the first race were made in 81
minutes and 40 seconds. which makes lust
about two and half minutes per mile. Of
course one of the shah's horses won bv
length, the beautiful and very swift Ara
bian stallion of the Naib-es- Sultaneh, the
thah's third son, which had led all the
SIN e, falling back just enough and in time
to let his fathers animal come in first az
