There was once in England a well known
character who had habit Of calling 10 see
people on particular business" and prolong-
ing his visit beyond all endurance. Calling
one day at a gentlemans house, his knock
was answered by servant girl.
"My master is out, sir, said she.
"Ah then, / will see your mistress.
my mistress is out too sir.

A Great Feat.

A barber in London has performed rather
clever feat The shop was fell Of customers,
and one oil them was undergoing the opera
ton of shaving, when it was noticed that the
barber had his eyes closed, though he still
kept passing the razor over the face Of his
visitor. After some time, and when the OPP
Grafton was finished, what was the surprise
Of those in the shop 10 hear the barber ox-
claim: sob, no, not yet" at the same time
opening his eyes 1t then became evident
that he had been fast asleep and had shaved
the man while in that condition. Tie cx-
planned that he had been up the two previous
nights, and that that would account for his
sleepiness, but the practice in shaving had 50
grown upon him that b. was even able to
perform his duty while asleep.-Chcago

Standards For Temperance
Textbooks.
ADOPTED By The National ". c. T. U.

Adopted by Inc Ndtao4adt W. =. L. u.
The following syllabus of matter
and manner of teaching Scientific
Temperance in school textbooks
was adopted by the late Annual
Convention of the National Wo-
mans Christian Temperance
Union, held in Nashville, Tennes-
see, November, 1887, as a standard
to which all such books must con.
form to receive the endorsement of
that Society,"
If this new education, Scientific
Temperance, is to give to the world
a coming generation OF intelligent
total abstainers, as We expect, its
manuals of instruction must con.
form to the following specifications {:
/. They must teach, with no un-
certain sound, the proven findings
of science-viz:
(a) That alcohol is dangerous
and seductive poison.
(b) That as beer, wine and cider
contain this same alcohol, therefore
they are dangerous drinks, to be
avoided, and that they ale the pro-
duct of fermentation that changes
food to poison.
(c) That it is the nature of any
liquor containing alcohol to create
an appetite for more, which is so
apt to become uncomfortable that
the strongest warning should be
urged against taking that little,
and thus forming the appetite.
2. They must teach, also, the
hereditary and acquired effects of
these upon the human system that
is, upon the whole being-mental,
moral and physical. The appall-
ing effects OF drinking habits upon
the citizenship of the nation, the
degradation and crime resulting,
demand that instruction here
should give clear and emphatic
utterance to the solemn warnings
OF science on this subject.

the child cannot understand.

Least one.fourth the space in text

1t is not desirable to have a sep
arate book for the physiology here
tofore studied in the high school, or
tAAlI Ine amount, but IL least
twenty pages out of that ordinarily
required should be given to the
question OF the poisonous nature
and effects of alcoholic and other
narcotics, in textbooks for these
classes.
The effects of these substances
upon the human system should be
stated In each division of the sub.
Ject of physiology and hygiene,
and not be massed as an appendage
at the end of the book.

A farmer who left home some time
ago and went East writes US that he
has been trying to get along with anoth
er' paper and do without the ADVANCE,
but he can't do it. He wants the 9,e,cs
The farmers ought to appreciate the
ADVANCE and pay for it without
grudg'ng. No other paper within u
hundred miles gives so much County
News, in which the farmers are inter
ested and in which they delight, as the
ADVANCE gives. No other paper takes
the trouble to secure the news: Nest
of them are content with making their
paper sort Of slop bowl or "all sorts''
for the little towns in which they are
printed. They give columns of slosh
about every thing in their town and
very little to township news.
Thanks to the ADVANCE, Mobiles is
the best reported county within a
hundred miles.
