Outraging Temperance Sentiment.
We would like to know if the tenn
perance men of this town who voted to
have liquor agency are proud of the
result of their vote. There never was
a time when so much drunkenness was
visible in our streets as can be seen
this summer. Little effort has been
made to punish the rum drinkers or
rum sellers. Temperance men have
little courage to attempt to do any
thing to stop the traffic as most of it is
carried on under cover of and within
the law, and when it can be proved
that the liquor has been obtained of
the agent under false pretence and
complaint is made to the states attOr-
ney that officer quietly ignores the
whole matter. Nobody seems 10 fear
or have reason to fear any action on
the part of the officers of the law. Last
week a citizen of Burke, who is noted
in this part of the county for his drink
ing habits, came to the Lyndon agency
and, though intoxicated at the time,

declare the affection that in a peculiar

sorrow as a church only follows that
more sacred grief whose veil no outside

all truth and Christian service with us,
and we loved him.
In this home of worship things good
to remember crowd upon our rejecting

as we received them that he had learn

are still worshipping with him; we re-

best way; we have felt the quiet and
strong reserve that covered only low

Thibetan Steppes.

The strangely wild beauty of this
scene was enhanced by the extreme
clearness of the air, which in Thibet
renders surrounding objects and their
black, clear-cut shadows almost start
lingly distinct, and distances most de-
ceptive. A natural consequence Of
SO transparent an atmosphere is that
the suns rays strike through it with
the most astonishing power. Indeed,
from the moment the sun appears
over the horizon, it commences
pitching into your face, and espe-
cially your nose; and even although
these may be shaded from its direct
beams, the radiation from the dry,
stony ground is so great as to make
some sort of covering for the face
very desirable. And, oh the merci-
less, understanding wind that
hardly ever ceases blowing on these
bare Thibetan steppes, except for a
few hours in the morning, and not
always even then. How it, COM
bined with hard frost every night,
parches and cracks the sun-scorched
skin on your face and lips, until
speaking becomes painful, to laugh
is a torture, and to wash is almost
impossible. Day after day the skin
peels off your face and hands. There
is no escape from this evil in Thibet;
it is the great drawback to a trip
there. l generally wore kind of
mask made of thin cloth, extending
down just over the nose, with aper-
lures for the eyes, and always kept
my face well smeared with q salve
composed of bears grease and sper-
maceti, which acted like basting to
roast meat, inasmuch as it prevented
the skin from becoming quite frizzled

A Fatal Mistake

Mrs. Jacob s., an estimable
woman living in small town in the
west, discovered early in her matri-
monial career that she had not been
fortunate to her choice of a husband,
for Jacob proved to be excessively
lazy and shiftless, doing almost
nothing for the support of his wife
and the round-faced little children.
Several years after her marriage
Mrs. S heard of the approaching
marriage of Jennie Krale, the daugh-
ter Of her neighbor, and meeting the
girl one day, she said:
'Vell, Shennie, l hear you vas
tinkin' bout getting married. Vas
dot so?"
The girl, with becoming bushes,
admitted the truth Of the rumor.
"Vell, Shennie," said Mrs. s.,
cit would be veil for you to dink
dwice before you marries anybody"
"Did you think twice about it when
you were married?" asked Jennie,
rather resenting the intimation that
she had not made wise choice.
''Vell, yes, | did," replied Mrs.
s., after some little hesitation, II

Owls.

The chief popularity of owls is
their mode of flying, and their quick
sense of hearing. Their food being
mostly mice and other small animals,
which easily hide themselves In the
ground, great silence and clear sight
are necessary, as well as quick hear
ing. So we find the wing of an owl
is provided with feathers so remark
ably soft and plant that in striking
the air they make no rushing sound
as the feathers of other birds do.
There is something in the strange
appearance and silent flight of owls
that has made them often feared, and
.superstitious people haye thought
them always ominous of evil. But
there is hardly a more useful bird
anywhere; its food consists of YER
min and insects that would do great
harm to the crops; and the farmers
ought to be very thankful to the
quiet owls who 60 round the fields in
the dark and pounce upon all the
mice and insects that would iniure
the corn.

The story about the pious little
boy who tried to walk ON the water
in the bath tub recalls another of an
equally pious little girl. She was
eight years old and lived in the coun-
try. She had started for school one
day rather late with another little girl
about her own age. On their way
they caught glimpse of a clock dial
through an open door. 1t lacked five
minutes of nine. ooh, dear!" ex-
claimed the pious little girl, otis five
minutes to nine, and We'll be late for

"Jennie,' said the pious little girl,
impressively, "Pll tell you what we
must do; We'll kneel right down here

we'd better run right along and pray
as we go!" They ran and got
