A RightcOms Verdict.

We rejoice that n Chicago Jury has at last
taken the part of the widow and the father
less against one of the vampires OF society,
that sucked the life's. blood out OF the bread
winner, and helped 10 send "A genius Of un-
usual promise TO an untimely grave. Mrs.
Lucy "A. Elkins, the widow of the painter
whose mount Shasta and other brilliant
works of art had placed HIM high up on the
ladder OF fame, has under the dram. shop net,
recovered 5000 damages against Chicago
saloon-keeper, who, despite her entreates to
who was victim to intemperancc strong
drink The owners of the building where
tho saloon is located were found equally
responsible with the saloon. keeper. IL was
shown in the testimony that the deceased
artist had been induced To part with some Of
his valuable pair-,ngs for n mere song, in
order TO raise money to buy more alcoholic
poison.
The saloon keeper who will continue to
sell liquor to n man who, by his indulgence
in the Intoxicating cup, Is running his life
and beggarlng his family, is in every sense
OF the word what we have already designated
nina vampire. The amount recovered by
Mrs. Efkins is said to he the largest sum ever
recovered in the country in u case of this
kind, but we think II was by far too little.

earned princely income for hi family We

wanting in our day-I mean the practice of
family prayer Depend upon it, the worth
of practice OF that kind can only be me IS

only q few minutes. do make great differ

How, indeed. can 1t be otherwise. when each
morning, and perhaps each evening, too, all
the members Of the family, the old and the
young, the parents and the children, the
master and the servants, meet on the footing
of perfect equality before the Eternal, in
whose presence each is as nothing, or less
than nothing, yet to whom each is
so infinitely dear, that he has redeem
ed by his blood each and all OF themi How
must not the bad spirits that are tho enemies
OF pure and bright family life flee away

fulness and sloth, and the whole tribe of evil
thoughts. and make way for his gracious
presence In the hearts Of old and young alike,
who, as he brings us, one by one, nearer to
the true end Of our existence, so does he. and
he alone, make us to be 'of one mind in a

each home circle, and hereafter in that
countless family OF all nations and kindreds
and people and tongues, which shall dwell
with him, the universal Parent to all etcrni-

Squirrel Skins and the Weather.

Tackled upon the wall in one corner of
my room are three native gray squirrel
skins. The agile chatterers that were
once within these soft jackets were shot
last October in the Maine woods, and their
furs were tanned and sent to me at the
same time by an enthusiastic sportsman
OF my acquaintance. The ordinary way
in which these skins are preserved in tho
country, sby merely tacking them upon
a good broad shingle, sprinkling little
salt over them and then setting aside for
week to dry. For almost a year now
have these furs been upon my wall in
soft, plant and dry condition, as they
should be. Last Tuesday, though, when
the atmosphere was so excessively sat
urated with moisture found them soak
ing wet, with great beads of water distrib.
uted over the surface. The salt with
which they were permeated, had simply
been unable to Withstand the humidity in
the air, and had, of consequence, been
dissolved by it. II squirrel skins prove
to be such an accurate register of atmos.
pheric moisture, it might not be bad
idea for the Signal Service Bureau to
adopt them henceforth as standard hy-
grometers, or at least to use them in con-
ncction with their other instruments.
My skins, as write, are in normal con.
dition again. ."-Neto York Netos. i

The Want of n Definite Purpose.

A great hindrance to all religious work Is
the want OF definite purpose. IL is said OF
some people that "they aim at nothing and
hit it," The same might tie said OF much OF
the Christian work of today. The very first
thing to do is TO have definite idea OF what
We desire to accomplish The true object of
the church is to Christianize the race, TO
lead men and women to accept Christ as
their Saviour, and to cultivate in them the
Christian graces. The danger is that we
will lose sight OF this great purpose. The
object Of tho Sunday school is to
Christianize the rising race through
the teaching of the word of God, telling our
youth the way to Christ. and teaching then
the walk in Christ In our opinion, the great
reason so many pastors and Sunday school
teachers fail Is they do not have n fixed
purpose and then go to work TO accomplish
1t. Aim ut something IL you wish to hit 1t.
We have heard Of hunter who, in n fog,
could not tell whether the object in the dis.
tance was a bear or calf. SO he said he
would fire in such a way ns to hit IL n bear
and miss IL a calf. We fancy some religious
work is done in this way Hartford Reli-

Temperance News and Notes.

Kentucky has 4l22 retail liquor dealers;
Louisville six saloons to each church.
Unlicensed liquor saloons are called "blnd
pigs" In Minnesota. A severe libel on the
pig.
A temperance society with eighteen mem-
bers was lately organized at kinklang,
China.
The recent banquet of the Commercial
Travellers Convention, held at Minneapolis,
attended by $50 guests, was served without
wine.
A new beverage has been invonted in
France intermediate between beer and wine,
and which is to be sold under the name of
barley wine.
Drink seems to be prevalent in Belgium as
anywhere else-perhaps more so. A news
paper published in Flanders states that 1.-THE

'tnisher,'" The regular yearly expenditure,
without counting extras on festive occasions
amounts TO 2lo francs, 500 to 200 francs
being the usual wages.
The following message has been received
