1t appears that the ingenioas re-

peror William and King Humbert to
Naples, disguised himself as a waiter,
and succeeded in establishing himself
behind the kaiser's chair during the
banquet that followed the naval re-
view, Is not to be credited with the
conception of an original idea in
journalism. An English scribe, dur
ing the Franco-Prussian war, when
the French general Bataille occupied
Saarbrucken for brief period, and
had his meals sent from a hotel in the
town to his tent on the hill, assisted in
taking him his food, dressed as a
knight of the napkin, and, in conse-
quence, was enabled to send to his
paper an account of what he had seen
and heard. Again, when the lieuten-
ancy of the city of London went to
Windsor to present its congratulations
on the recovery of the Prince of
Wales, a newspaper man, in an imita-

utation, and, although stopped at the
door of the throne room, eventually

LENGTH OF DREAMS.
An Observer of the Subject Tells of HIS
Own Experience.


Own Experience.
This interesting question has been
recently discussed in Germany, among
others by DR.. f. School, who has given
some striking examples from his own
experience and observation It is very
certain, however, that the majority of
dreams are only of momentary dura-
ton, though extended occasionally to
the length Of a minute. In proof Of
this DR.. Scholz tells the following
story from his experience:
After excessive bodily fatigue and
day of mental strain of a not disa-
greeable kind, l betook myself to bed

placed it on the night table. Then

THE FOOLS PRAYER.

The royal feast was done; the King
Sought out some new sport to Danish care.
And to his jester cried: "Sir Fool
Kneel now, and make for us prayerr'
The jester doffed his cap and bells,
And stood the mockink court before:
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore
He bowed his head and bent his knee
Upon the monarch's silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: 20 Lord,
Be nerciful to me. a fool
No pity. Lord, could change theheaSt
From red with wrong to white o. wool
The rod must heal tho sin; but Lord,
Be mercifui 30 me. a fool
'ris not by guilt the onward sweep
OF truth and right, o Lord, we stay;

Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard. well meaning hands we thrust
Among the heart strings OF q friend
The i'll timed truth We might have kept
Who knows how sharp 1t pierced and StungS
The word we had not SenSe to say
Who knows how grandly It had rung?
Our faults no tenderness should ask,
The Christening stripes must cleanse them all
But for our blunders-O. in shame
Before the eyes of heaven we fall.
Earth bears no balsam for mistakes:
Men crown the knave and scourge the tool
That did his will; but thou, 0 Lord,

The room was hushed; in silence rose
The King, and sought the gardens cool,
And walked apart, and murmured low.
BE merciful to me, fooll"

Wine and Temperance.

A certain class of people. them
selves generally the devotees OF ms-
thetic wine-drinking. argue in favor
of increased wine-production as one
method of lessening the evils of in
temperance. They not only ignore
the fact that alcoholic wines slim
ulate the alcoholic appetite on the
part of those who use them. but also
that brandy distillation is an impor-
tant adjunct of the wine-making bnsi-
ness in all producing countries.
1t is just now announced from Califor-
MIA in a leading liquor journal that
las the demand for brandy is on the
increase, there is talk Of the erection
of several very large distilleries, which
will tend to relieve the market of in

very men who draw so terrible pic
ture OF the results OF exercising the
suffrage would shoulder their muskets
and fight the battles OF 1776 all over
again. if any one tried to take their
own right to vote away from them. A
little girl found an apple and began to
eat it. Her brother rushed up to her,
with face of horror and consterna-
ton. and assured her that the apple
was green, and that If she ate it she
would certainly have the cholera and
die. The child threw down the apple,
and her brother at once picked it up
and began to eat it himself The little
girl watched him with surprise.
Wont the cholera catch you, too?"

lent opponent OF womans rights. with

| it could degrade any woman to take an
intelligent interest in the affairs Of her
country. or to be recognized as worthy
OF having her opinion counted.
But it is intimated that there are in
Connecticut perhaps $4,000 very young
and very thoughtless women, who
might fall into unbecoming familiarity

can only be said that very young women
| would not be entitled to vote, and very
thoughtless ones do not want to. More
over, no serious trouble OF this kind has
arisen where woman suffrage has been
tried.
1t is no doubt very desirable that
women should be educators OF chill

society morals" But this is not In

Fitted For Suffrage.

The colleges confer upon their young
women graduates, degrees of B. A.,
NJ A.. and Phi. d. In increasing num-
bers each year, well educated women
leave the colleges prepared for good
service. and all the better for their col
lege drill. They are sought as teach
ers and professors in other colleges.
They become physicians, lawyers, min
listers, editors. good wives, mothers
and sisters. They become business
women, and are everywhere useful
members of society, above the average
OF less highly educated women. Is it
not time for the State to consider what
it looses by excluding such women from
the right OF suffrage9

A SPRING HAT.

Why AiAys Father Resolved Never to
Drink Another Drop-A True Story.
'.Papa, will you please give me fifty
cents for my spring hatp Most all

mo. May; l can'tspare the money.
The above request was persuasively
made by sixteen-year-old maiden as
she was preparing for school one
fine spring morning. The refusal
came from the parent in curt. in
different tone. The disappointed girl
went to school. The father started
for his place Of business. On his way
thither he met friend, and, being
hail fellow we'll met, he invited him
into Macs for a drink. As usual,
there were others there, and the man
that could not spare his daughter
fifty cents for a hat treated the crowd.
When about to leave, he laid half
dollar on the counter, which just paid
for the drinks.
just then the saloon-keeper's
daughter entered, and going behind
the bar, said: Papa, l want fifty
cents for my spring hat"
"All right" said the dealer, and
taking up the half-dollar from the
counter he handed it over to the girl,
who departed smiling.
Mays father seemed dazed, walked
out alone. and said to himself: IL
had to bring my fifty cents here for the
rumseller's daughter to buy hat with,
after refusing it to my own daughter.
I'll never drink another drop"
And he kept his pledge -Philadel-

ALCOHOL IN CONSUMPTION.

investigation Shows That Alcohol 10 Of
No Benefit In TuberculosiA.
DR.. N. S. Davis, in late lecture be-
fore the Chicago Medical College on
the subject of alcohol and consump-
ton, reviewed at some length his
earlier investigations Of alcohol in its
relation to tubercular disease, and
then said:
The Lancet, January &c. 1889. in its
leading editorial on the discussion in
the Pathological Society. has the fol-
lowing significant statement: "What
is eminently worthy of attention of
practitioners in this connection, is the
frequency OF tubercular disease in
cases of alcoholic paralysis. In fact,
the association of chronic alcoholism
in all forms and tuberculosis was
brought out by almost every speaker,
including DR.. Payne, who said truly
that the inaccurate impression that
habits of alcoholic excess were in any
way antagonistic to tubercular disease
must be regarded as swept away. In
another paragraph it says, emphatic
ally: we have seen the demolition of
the belief that alcohol is a preventive
of tubercle.
This is exactly what l demonstrated
clinically more than one-quarter of a
century ago. When this subject first
came up the Boylston prize was Of
fered for the best essay on the effects
of alcohol in its relation to tuber-
culosis, and the prize was awarded to
DR.. Bell, OF New York, who, after a
careful and wide collection of facts
and statistics, came to the same con-
clusion l have stated.
Now, gentlemen, when you find on
record carefully-observed facts and
statistics illustrating the physiolog-
ical action Of alcohol and its de-
structive effects and tendency to pro-
duce degeneration of the various It's
sues in the human body, do not look
upon them as the production of a
Temperance fanatic. We certainly
have no evidence that the members OF
the London Pathological Society are
total abstainers. / have searched for
the effects of alcohol in the line Of
scientific investigation for fifty years,
and you can not blame me fol-
some feelings Of qualification to find
my studies, experiments and conclu'

soon come when we will get rid Of
