CONGRESS AND THE LIQUOR
TRAFFIC.

A Washington special to the Eceaing
Post Oh Thursday says
"There is a curious complication in the
House Committees treatment Of the alec
holic-trailic, and it serves to show the i'm
portanee Of the prohibition question at this
time. Mr.. Randall, in announcing the
preliminary report from the Committee on
Rules Wednesday, said that the Committee
was unanimous as to all of the proposed
committees, except the one on the Alec
holic-liquor traffic and as to that, the re-
port in favor of continuing the Committee
as one of the standing comm ittees of the
House was made by majority of the
Committee, which consists of Reed and
Cannon (Rep.) and himself. a division
has come in the Committee on Rules soon
or than was expected, and in the first report
which the Committee makes Mr. Randall is
the balance of power, and has voted With
Republicans. The German A meriean Con
gressmen who have taken the greatest in
terest in the appointment of this Com
mittee, and who wonld have been glad to
have seen it abolished, report that it has
been the desire Of the Speaker and some
of the leading Democrats to abolish
this Committee, and the follow ing reasons
are assigned for such policy The
Speaker has not deemed it expedient for
the Democratic party to appoint majority
OF members on that Committee who favor
prohibition. Pains have been taken to as
certain whether there were Democrats
enough willing to serve on the Committee
who Were Observation-Disclosures and the
search has not been successful. There are
great many Democrats who do not wish
to serve on that Committee There is no
difficulty in obtaining majority which is
in favor of prohibition. Mills, fresh from
his anti-prohibition victory in Texas,
wishes to have the Committee abolished
1t is also reported that there is a move
ment on foot by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union to haYe Congress en-
force the rules regulating the sale of intox-
icating drinks at tile restaurants in the
Capitol. 1t is maintained that the sale Of
liquors in the House restaurant is carried
on in the most open manner and in direct
violation of joint rule which strictly for
bids sale under penalty of forfeiture Of
privilege.

The Church Temperance Commission of
Conference representing six prominent
evangelical denominations will soon Issue a
circular letter to each of their churches
A bill to be presented at the legislature will
be introduced by Assemblyman Jonathan
Goble, of Ocean county, and will ask for
prohibition by counties wherever vote of
the people shall demand it. The circular
says: 'The highest state organization of
the Presbyterian, Reformed. Baptist, Con-
gregaIional, Lutheran, and Methodist
churches in New Jersey has appointed
comm ission of conference on temperance
based upon the entire prohibition of the
traffic in intoxicating drinks. This con-
mittee comprised all modification of
method, and, after thoughtful, prayerful,
and mature consideration. unanimously
adopted the following, with which they
ask cooperation: 1--WE advise all friends
of temperance in New Jersey to endeavor
tie elect members to its Legislature who
shall be pledged to refer the question of
drinks to vote of the people at a special
election called for that purpose This
was intended to include all forms Of tenn
perance activity under the general leader
ship of the church, whose position on
moral issues is so largely influential. The
State Temperance Alliance, which, by a
formal vote, requested the churches to
accept this leadership, is in entire accord
with the advice of the commission and
urites with its presentation to the legisls-
ture. A convention of delegates from the
churches of New Jersey will DC held in the
rooms of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union in Trenton on Tuesday, jam
airy cath, 1888, at 10 A. NJ, to proceed to
the Legislature and press the passage Of
the bill offered at its last two sessions.

WOMAN,S RIGHT INDIA.

Miss Fannie Sparks, missionary from
India, says that pilgrims to the sacred
shrines generally travel in railroad cars
now, instead of on foot. Some of the cars
are reserved for women. Not long ago, a
man by mistake got into the women's
car. Then arose frightful hubbub.
Every woman jumped on a seat and clam
ored for the mans instant removal. At
last Miss Sparks succeeded in quieting
them, and the man got out at the next
station. the most thoroughly frightened
person IN the car. The Hindoos are con-
sistent. They will not let mon and wo-
men associate together anywhere in public.
But where is the consistency Of Ameri-
cans, who let men and woman meet in
railroad cars, streets, stores, and lecture
halls, yet raise clamor worse than that of
the terrified Hindoo ladies il it is suggest
ed that the same men and women might
meet without contamination once a year at
the polls ?

HOW 10 KEEP WARM AND AVOID
COLDS.

Some people may not know that when
exposed to severe cold feeling Of warmth
is really created by repeatedly filling the
lungs 10 their utmost in this manner:
Throw the shoulders well back and hold
the head well up Initiate the lungs slow
nose. When the lungs are completely
filled, hold the breath for ten seconds or
longer, and then expire it quickly through
the mouth. After repeating this exercise
while one is chilly" feeling of warmth
will be felt over the entire body, and even
to the feet and hands It is important for
all to practice this exercise many times
each day and especially when in the open
air. II the habit ever becomes universal,
then consumption and many other diseases
will rarely, if ever, be heard of. Not only
while practising the breathing exercise"
must the clothing be loose over the chest,
but beginners will do well to remember,
in having their clothing fitted, to allow
Tor the permanent expansion of the chest
OF one, two, and even three inches which
will eventually follow. One might with
propriety say that too many people choke
or stiiic the skin by an excess of clothing,
and, as consequence, take cold easily.
Some impurities are thrown ont of the sys-
TEN by the skin, as others are by the lungs,
the bowels, and the kidneys. 1t is abso-
lutely essential to the health that the en-
anations from the skin pass easily through
the clothing. This, which is called tran
spration" may be interfered with by an
excess of clothing, or by clothing of very
close texture. All who wear Ind rubber
coats know how uncomfortable they cause
them to feel after they have been on
short time On the accession of Leo X to
the papacy there was a grand procession
at Florence in his honor. A little girl was
made to personate the golden age, by be-
ing coated from head to foot, with gold
leaf. Before the day was over, she died in
commissions, killed because ''transpira-
ton" or, in other words, because carbonic
acid gas and dead, worn-out matter, which
snouiu nave Deeh thrown out by her SKIN,
were shut up in her system by the metal
lie covering. Ordinary clothing will not,
of course, prevent Transportation, but an ex-
cess will interfere with it; and where too
much clothing is worn the same soon be-
comes foul, unless the outside air can free
ly ningle with the gases from the body
and so dilHte them. Some wear the thick
est and heaviest undervests which they
can bny, and such people are very general
~ the victims of frequent colds. Follow
ing the rule of light clothing they would
be much safer from the danger of exposure
were they to wear two light undervests in
stead of one very thick and heavy

THE GRANGE FOR wOMAN's BAL-
LOT.

! In the course of debate in the Califor-
MIA State Grange, on the resolution favor
ing woman suffrage, Sister Mary F. Mer-
rill, Of Stockton Grange, made the follow
ing eloquent appeal:
Since ] was old enough to know her his
tory have always loved my country. My
country, did say? have no country.
She stretches out her beneficent hands
to the uttermost parts Of the earth; she in
vtes even the lowest and most degraded,
and they come. Come, from the novels
aud mndsills of Ireland; come, from the
bending beneath load of ignorance and
superstition, from Spain and Italy; come,
loaded with dynamite, from Germany, and
France and Russia; and she bids them
welcome. She says: Look abroad over
my vast domain, and take whatever is
left of the fairest and the best. Stay yet
few days. and then enter into the councils
of tie nation. Stay yet a few days, and
have voice in saying how this fair land
shall be ruled "
But when an America woman, true
hearted, intelligent and patriotic, knocks
at the door of the council chamber, she
shows forbidding face. She says; $50
home. 90 home! use you influence there.
! know that your influence is ever exerted
for good, but we want none of 1T here.
Go home and use it there; and when your
husband comes TO you, mad with drink,
why, influence him; and when your son,
the beloved of your life, comes besotted
into your home, and every reeling footstep
leaves its impress upon your breaking
heart why, influence him. and if he will
not be Influenced, go to the man Who turns
the happiness of your home into food and
drink and fine raiment, who breaks yonr
heart and ruins your life that he may live
in slothful luxury-go to him and try your
influence. y

THE LAW OF LOVE.

From Hannah Whitall Smiths Bible
reading on ''The Law of Love, we make
the following choice extracts:
Spiritual forces work by just as definite
laws as do material; it is for us TO under
stand them and put ourselves into right re-
lations to them. Until the law of cclipses
was understood, every eclipse was consid-
cred miracle. Now that this law is I'M
derstood, eclipses are calculated. So in
spiritual things. So long as we do not I'M
lives will be too hap-hazard, too much OF
a blind experiment. Now the law of love
is laid down in the Bible, and principles
there laid down by which it can be under
must be the kind which is spelled love,
not s-c-l-fi-s-h-n-e-s-s. Our principal him
ORANGES come from people who say they
love us, but who spell love the wrong way.
give them.
God is terribly isunderstood. To say
that he loves rs for his own glory is libel
on him. Nothing so arouscs my indigna-
ton. II anybody should tell me that
loved my children for my own glory, it
would make me so indignant | don't know
what should debut am sure I'd not
stay in the room with her single minute;
but that's inst what we charge upon God.
Love has not one trace of seliishneSs in it,
A mothers love for her baby comes the
nearest to being type OF Gods love Of
anything earthly.
To understand Gods love we must have
such love in our heart. Gle that lODeth
knoweth God, and he only. My daugh-
ter Mary has little baby, and she now
knows for the first time how | love her.
She writes me over and over again. 'Did
thee really love me as | love Ray?" I'M
less we love God we can not know him.
Gods definition of love, and the Holy
Ghosts application of that law, is given in
the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians.
| never should have dared to say what is
there said, but God says it, and it must be
true. Here are given the sixteen laws of
love. Take them up and apply them to
every conscience. May it prove word of
God to each one of our souls.
Some think of God as always on the
watch for our faults. | believe he is al
ways on the lookout for goods points in us.
God is not against our being happy and
having good time; that is what he wants,
and we can only do so by having our JOY
in him. By thus understanding God,
through loving him and living near his
heart, we are lifted above the low "Cater-
pillar Plane.

which accompanied the words showed what
it cost to utter them.
There was a great crowd at the scene of
the tournament, and the excitement was
intense. Dave stood little apart, but in
good view of the track, his arm about
Judy's neck. He had briefly announced
that he did not intend to ride, and had re-
fused any explanation, even to Howard
Hilton, who was much disappointed at his
decision
As the horses dashed up the tract. amid
cheers and cries from the crowd, Judy
paved the ground impatiently and turned
her large, soft eyes again and again upon
her masters face, as if seeking to read
there why she, too, Nas not allowed to
show her PAGES.
But Dave stood i'll silence by her his
eyes ever upon the lank, awkward figure
of Rob Hartley, seated on Black Eagle.
Not far away leaning against a tree he
saw the boys mother with faded red
shawl about her thin shoulders.
The contest was n spirited one; every
competitor did his best, the fact of the
Dawes withdrawal having allowed hope
to creep into the hearts of even the poorest
riders; but Bob Hartley came of victor,
and Dave, with y strange pang, saw the
prize awarded to him.
81 can't make out why ye changed yer
min, bout ridin', Dave" said his brother
in-law, as they rode home together at sun
down.

Dave laconieally.

had made that day.-N Y. Examiner.
