THE question Of reviving the use OF
the lance in the French army is again
being discussed. A military expert, in
a recent letter to the Temps, has much
to say in favor Of this weapon. He ap.
pears to think it was abolished after the
war without sufficient reflection, and
mentions two incidents in the battle Of
Waterloo in which English cavalry.
while in the act of charging French
troops, changed their purpose when
they saw those armed with the lance,
and attacked other regiments supplied
with short weapons. The writer thinks
the main argument employed in abolish
ing the lance in the French army-the
length of time needed to obtain mas
terry of the weapon-an erroneous one

SOME very interesting incidents are
reported from the recent Boston cleo
ton, when women voted for school
officers. One good dame was handed a
ticket as she approached the polls, and
she thanked the giver for his courtesy
and without asking any questions
promptly deposited the ballot, suppo'-
ing that he knew what she wanted and
had given her good Republican ticket.
But after she had voted she had dis
covered that the stranger was wicked
Democrat who had given her Demo
cratic ticket. Then she raised seems
that threatened to make Rome howl.
Going back to the polls she demanded
that the judges open the ballot box and
let her take out the ticket, and replace
it, She didn't succeed and now she
thinks that voting is failure.

More Wine and Less Drunkenness.

The use OF sound wines with food tends
to simple, plain diets; therefore, health,
happiness and morality.
III we consult experience, the cheapness
Of wine seems to be a cause not of drunk
ennoss, but Of sobriety. People are seldom
guilty of excess in what is their daily fare"
--lAdam Smith.
hWhen we shall have become nation OF
wine drinkers, dyspepsia and drunkenness
will no longer make suicides and crimi-
nals,n BY encouraging every effort to put
sound wine within the reach of the labor
ing man we are cultivating the home VS.. the
barroom, social life VS.. brutality.
The most wholesome wines for daily use
are the so-called 'dry wlnes,n where all the
native sugar has been turned into alcohol
by fermentation.
Avoid the habitual use Of sweet wine,
unless advised by your physician. The best
sweet wine is fortified In with grape brandy,
the poorer kinds by high wines or alcohol.
A "non-alcohollc wine" that will keep is an
imposslbility.
The To-Kalon Wines are of the best that
this country can produce. Their vaults are

Falling I'm Love.

II Is not difficult matter TO fall in love.
Any man can become as hopelessly lovesick
as q Romeo. The average love is the love
that is reckoned. Love Is q creature of the
fancy, II is like a spark in a forge which
can be blown into flame If the bellows arc
worked necessarily and with proper grad
uation, Too much will extinguish the
spark--too little wind will not keep it alive.
IL is one of the incest accomplishments in
the world-this falling in love. Every man
has his ideal Amyrllis, and sometimes by
toying with the tangles OF Neera's hair one
is caught hopelessly himself Yonkers
