Mrs. j. Ellen Foster Says That In
the Republican Party Is Its
Slope.
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster. the Iowa apostle
of Republican prohibition, addressed a
large audience at the Harris theater
yesterday afternoon upon her favOrite
theme. She began by telling of the for
nation OF the ". {. Il. u. In Ohio, and
the great work which it has accom-
plisned in Iowa and elsewhere for con-
StitUtiOnal prohibition. She spoke OF
the recent address issued by the organ
iZati0n in favor of a third party, and
criticised it IN rather severe terms. She
said that this action had injured the
cause. She said that this was not only
true, but such action had been person
al injury to those who, like herself, be-
lieved In nOn-partiSan prohibition, and
who were opposed to mortgaging the
support of the grand party 10 any other
political organization. In Iowa, she
said, all the progress that prohibition
had made was entirely due to the Re-
Publican party; and, in her opinion, Ii
was only through that party that the
great reform could be brought to sue
ceSSful conclusion. She gave instances

her last speech before election on Mon .

said:

1t is not often that anything amusing
happens in prayer meeting. but there
was an exception to this rule at one OF
these meetings held the other hight in a
church not far away. 1t happened that
there was visiting brother present
whose name wasn't Clark, but for the
purposes of this story that name will do
as well as any. This brother is veneer
able in years, and his sight is failing.
Among the members is also brother by
the name of Clark. or, at least, ne pears
the same patrOnymic as the visiting
brother, and who is little deaf. Dur
ing the prayer meeting in question, the
paster said Twill Brother Clark lead in
prayer?'' At this both of the gentlemen
rose simultaneously in different parts
of the room ana began TO
pray. The gentleman from the
country got in his work tirst,and piOusly
calculated, "Oh, Lordi" The resident
brother followed with another ''Oh,
Lord" whereup0n the other brother
adjusted his glasses on his nose and
looked carefully around for the origin
of the sound, but seeing nobody, recon-
menced his petition. In the meantime
the other brother continued his appeal,
and for few moments thecongregation
was treated TO the novel spectacle Of
two prayers going at the same time and

"SINCERITY."
A Leading Pastor Thinks We
Need Much of This Virtue.

Need Much of This Virtue.
At the First Unitarian church yester-
day morning, Rev. II. N. Simmons, in
his sermon on Sincerity" said we
want more of this virtue. The lack of
it takes the worth out of men, makes So
ciety hollow with shams ana rotten un-
righteousness, and is so ruinOuS to real
morality, that FTOude was wise in say
ing: "Of all evil spirits abroad in the
world at this hour, inSincerity is the
most dangerous" We want more sin
eerity in TeligiOn-mOre of the spirit
seen in Carlyle's saying: what is
incredible to thee, thou shalt
not at thy soul's peril attempt
to believe; go to perditiOn if thou
must, but not with lie on thy lips, by
the Eternal Maker, mol When the Rus
sian engineer laid out railroad, wind
ing this way and that to accommodate
some town, the emperor laying ruler
on the map and drawing a straight line,
said: Build road there" Religion
should lay out its lines as royalty,
mOdate cities or churches, but straight
I'm truth and justice. And yet the sim
cerity should be tempered with charity.
Right and truth are sacred wOrds-but
peace and mercy no less so. The Psalm
list well pictures the perfect state as
one where mercy and truth have
met together, and righteousness
and peace have kissed each other"
Stern right brings but half of religion,
but must take to itself the more beauti-
full spirit of love as bride-and the best
worship will be the wedding of truth
and tenderness. Sincerity does not
mean severity, and does not ask you to
stop every fool you meet, either of the
conservative or radical class, and tell
him just what you think of him or his
opinions. Charity often lays its finger
on its lips; and religion, though telling
no lies, will be ready to listen to some
gOOd-naturedly for the sake of harmony.
Welcome to all movements, under what
ever name. which are seeking to make
religion sound with sincerity and sweet
with sentiments of reverence and love.

Admiral POrter's Brave Son.

Indianapolis Journal.
Relatives aud friends of Essex Porter,
son of Admiral Porter. are much dis
tressed over his continued absence.
About six months ago Lieut.. Porter en-
tered the service of Legitime, in the
Haytien war. The Ligitime Govern
ment agreed to give him $1,000 year
and to insure his life for $4,000 for the
benefit of his wife, in case he should
be killed. No tidingshave been received
from him since early in the summer,
and as Legitime's army has been dis
banded, his friends here are naturally
very anxious about his safety. This is
not POrter'S first experience in the
service of foreign Government, as he
was Colonel in the Khedive's army some
years ago and won great distinction.

The police yesterday found a number
of saloon keepers who were doing a
quiet back door business in violation Of
the liquor ordinances. One of them
named Gust Anderson was arrested,
but was released on $50 bail for a trial
to-day. The officers were instructed to
make complaint against all saloon
keepers violating the Sunday law, and
some of them will no doubt be surprised
when Informed that their presence is
desidered at the municipal court to-day.

THE CALM OF NATURE.

The heart of Nature doth not feel or know
Our hearts quick heritage of sympathy;
What though we laughf her days sob bye !;
and she
Smiles no return to loves transcendent throe.
What though we weep! the winds their Pan
pipes blow.
The stream still sings, wild woodland notes
of glee
Burst Irresistible, from brake and tree,
And myriad dancing wings ehb to and fro.
FOR stars of evening in their order bloom;
Alike TO dreaming eyes and sleepless souls;
And. still inviolate through glow and gloom,
She holds impervious to her seasons goal;
Yet those who will, may lean against her
knee.
And grow serene through her serenity.

The Value of Apples.

There is scarcely any article of veg
etable food more widely useful and more
universally liked than the apple. Let
every family in autumn lay in from two
to ten or more barrels, and it will be to
them the most economical investment
in the whole range of culinary supplies
A raw mellow apple is digested in an
hour and half, while boiled cabbage
requires five hours. The most healthful
dessert that can be placed on the table
is baked apple. Iftaken freely at break
fast, with coarse bread and without
meat or flesh of any kind, it has an ad-
mirable effect on the general system,
often removing constipation, correcting
acidities and cooling off febrile condi-
tions more effectually than the most
approved medicines. If families could
be induced to substitute the apple
sound, ripe and luscious-for the pies,
cakes, candies and other sweetmeats,
with which children are too often
stuffed, there would be diminution of
doctors bills sufficient in a single year
to lay up stock of this delicious fruit
for seasons use.-ProfeSSor Faraday.

never absent from her table, are newt
able. At first all her acquaintance
imagine that she spends lavishly in her
housekeeping, whereas the fact is that
she is a rigid economist in the true
sense, and saves not by going without
or even by purchase of inexpensive
materials, but by her knowledge of
values and thrifty use of the various
articles she buys. There is absolutely
no waste, even of bread, and the
preparation of food is considered by
her from the artistic standpoint. Her
muffin-pans are of curious shape; her
butter-pats are not "pats," but dainty
shells or leaves or scrolls; her dishes
are often decorated with gay leaves;
parsley plays prominent part, too, and
the very eggs, in their crude white
shells, appear in such dainty cups that
they serve decorative purpose. Break.
fast, in her idea, should not be heavy
meal; and while expense is not neces
sarily an object TO her, she is true
economist from conviction, and pro-
vides for her family with view to Civ
ing the utmost nourishment in the light
est shape. Fish figures largely in her
menus, and can be safely recommended
as suitable.-Ne,o York Graphic.

The kissing Habit.

1t is really nuisance, and, in these
days of societies and crusades against
evils, presents good object. We mean
this kissing habit. 1t is certain that if
the great army of babies could speak
they would unite in saying, Save us |;
we can not save ourselves" Poor little
helpless things. We pay no attention
to frowns or tears, but just because they
are sweet and attractive pounce upon
them like hawks, and kiss them with
the greatest freedom; and much more
serious results follow than annoyance
to baby. Doctors tell us that many
times disease is transmitted by kisses.
Girls are the guilty ones in this bad
practice. Very rarely does boy kiss
another boy, even his own brother.
But girls Chat is, some girls) kiss
every girl friend, anywhere-street,
church, school, cars, anywhere. Some
times they will kiss strange girl, when
parting from her, just because she is
with friend. There is even a worse
habit-kissing girl when they do not
feel at all kindly toward her, when in
the next breath they will make criti-
cism that shows they have even a dis
like. The monthly Vide Aloake says
on this subject; "Girls are impulsive;
they would lose much charm if they
were not. They make their dear five
hundred friends, and every time they
meet and every time they part they kiss
one another. The dear five hundred,
or the most of them, drop out of daily
life as they go on and' are replaced by
others, and the habit grows, until now
you can see women kissing each other
everywhere-in cars, at railway sta
tons, in all public places" Last sum-
mer some young women and girls met
at summer hotel for the first time.
Before the end of the first week a
stranger would have been justified in
thinking that they had known each
other from infancy. They were insepa-
rable. They walked up and down with
their arms around each other, they
kissed Goodbye if they parted for a
few hours row. They apparently were
bosom friends, with no secrets. Not
long since, one who had seen this vio-
lent growth of affection met one of the
group. They had scarcely seen each
other since their return, and apparently
had lost all interest in each other. So,
with Wide AUake, we say: "Remem-
Der, kiss is the most sacred express
sion of love which you can give to
your mother or your sister or your
dearest friend, and tell you now what
know to be true: that really refined
women, as they grow older, grow chary
of scattering such gifts right and left
to every acquaintance. After all, my
message may be packed into that word
SO expressive in its modern use
Don't. "-ChriStian Union.

Food that May be Taken with the
Fingers.

AT an official dinner, few nights ago,
distinguished society belle from New
York, one of McAllister's four hundred,
was observed to handle the wing of a
chicken with her fingers, and afterward
daintily nibbled a drumstick" the
same way without the use of knife or
fork. Some of the cabinet and admin
istration ladies, only one of whom
belongs to the four hundred, marveled
at this, and thought it showed lack OF
breeding" The one authority, Mrs.
-, remarked that the action of
the young lady was in perfectly good
form. The list of things that can be
eaten from the fingers is on the in
crease. 1t includes all bread, toast,
tarts and small cakes; celery, and as
should be, either hot or cold; lettuce,
which must be crumpled in the fingers
and dipped in salt or sauce; olives, to
which fork should never be put, any
more than knife should be used on
raw oysters; strawberries, when served
with the stems on, as they should be,
are touched to pulverized sugar; cheese
in all forms, except Brie or Roquefort
or Cumberfort, and fruit of all kinds,
except preserves and melons. The lat
ter should be eaten with spoon or fork.
In the use of the fingers greater indul-
gence is being shown, and you can not,
if you are well bred, make any very
bad mistake in this direction, especially
when the finger-bowl stands by you and
the napkin is handy Washington Post

A Perfect Home.

The most perfect home 1 ever saw
was little house into the sweet in
cense of whose fires went no costly
things. A thousand dollars served as
a years living for father, mother and
three children. But the mother was
the creator of home; her relations
with the children were the most beau
tiful have ever seen. Every inmate
of the house involuntarily looked into
her face for the keynote of the day,
and it always rang clear. From the
rosebud or clover-leaf, which, in spite
of her hard homework, she always
found time to put beside our plates at
breakfast, down to the story she had
on hand to read in the evening, there
was no intermission of her influence.
She has always been and always will be
my ideal of mother, wife and home
maker. If to her quick brain, loving
heart and exquisite face had been
added the appliances of wealth and en-.
largements of wide culture, hers would
have been absolutely the ideal home.
AS it was, it was the best | have ever
seen.-1he late Helen Hunt.

In one of the most harmonious of
families in a home in which there is
absolutely no conflict, in which the
household machinery moves without a
jar or break, breakfast is one of the
most enjoyable meals of the day. First,
because it is always punctually served !;
second, because all the family assemble
al one time; and third, and by no means
least, because the mistress of the home
understands the secret of setting re-
fined table. Flowers greet the eye, and
even in late fall and winter something
in the shape of floral decoration is
always obtainable, even if it be but an
unpretending pot of geranium; the
china and glass, although by no means
costly or valuable, are quaint and
pretty; the cloth is Of crimson for the
early meal, an innovation to which l
have become accustomed, and the nap
kins are of the same order, the reason
being that fruit-stains (and fruit is

QUERY.-I have question to ask.
In the meadow, in damp places, see
small piles of black earth mixed with
fine white sand, which look as though
pushed up from beneath. 1t seems to
be smooth grass-ground under them.
What makes them? Is the fine black
earth good for house plants?
ANswER.-It is the work of moles.
The earth is probably suitable for house
plants, which do not require any differ
ent soil from others.
