A WORD TO MOTHERS.
Make Home More Attractive to You
Children Than the Saloon.

Make Home More Attractive to Your
Children Than the Saloon.
That boy of yours, father and mother,
is full of life. 1t bubbles up and bub-
bles over all the time. A little seven
year-old son of an acquaintance OF ours
says: mamma, it is very hard to sit
still so long in school. Sometimes |
feel just like screaming" Yes, the lit
tie fellows are full Of life and fun.
They make a good deal of noise in the
house and they disarrange some things
greatly to the annoyance of mother
The Rural does not mean to intimate
! that no restraint should be eXerted over
them, but it solcmnly warns father and
mother to remember that there is one
place where that boy will never hear
don't do that" and ''now you stop
that" and eff you don't stop I'll put
you to bed," once. 1t is the saloon, the
gaily-lighted, beautifully -mirrored, ele-
gantly-furnished saloon. He can go
there and have all the fun he wants.
| lie can strike the billiard balls hard or
soft as he likes; he can laugh as loudly
as he wants to; he can kick up his heels
and dance if he chooses, and he can
| drink all the liquor he can pay for, and
break mothers heart without the slight
est remonstrance.
We have seen homes that the saloon
was getting the best of just as steadily
as the moments went by, and father
and mother were helping to do it. The
boy could scarcely stir without being
forbidden to stir; if he wished to run,
mother said, "Now stop that" if he
wanted to jump mother forbade it; If he
wanted an extra room lighted up,
mother said no; if he brought some of
his piaythings into the sitting room,
mother told him to take them out. 1t
was don't" stop" quit that" keep
still" until the little fellow felt that
all mother had to do was to oppose his
wishes, 1t had become a fixed habit
child We have sometimes shuddered
to see it. By and by when the boy gets
bigger, mother will not be troubled
with his noise. 1t will not be his pres
ence that will annoy her, but his alb
sence, and perhaps the time will
come when she would gladly permit him
to tear the whole house down, if he
would only spend his hours with
mother. Oh, parents, while the warm
welcome of the saloon comes pouring
from so many doors, don't turn the
boys face toward it; don't sharpen his
ears to hear; don't create in his soul a
longing for some place, for any place
except home. Bear with his noise; let
him have his liberty as long as it does
him and no one else injury. If he
shakes the nervous system little it is
only for little time. He will not be a
boy long anyhow Those soft sweet
cheeks will soon lose their boyish fresh
ness but while they harden with age,
let mother and father do nothing in the
direction of wrinkling them with vice
Make home pleasant for the child and
permit him to have his fun. 1t will
make him better man, and the influ
ence of such a home will follow him al
through life and be a softening, inspir
ing influence. Western Rural.

neither was hurt. In July, 1886, five
years after the perpetration of the

ALCOHOL IN HOSPITALS.
Gratifying Reports Made by the Medical
Authorities of England.

Gratltyins reports MADE by the MeuicaA
Authorities of England.
A very interesting report has been
presented to the British Medical Tenn
perance Association by Drs. Morton
NOR and Pearce on the administration
of alcohol in hospitals. The committee
have drawn up a series of tables full of
instructive figures, instituting a COM
parison between the amount expended
under this head in 1868 and in 1888. The
remarkable fact is noted that in these
twenty-five years there has been, from
the returns made by lis hospitals, an
increase of 800 per cent. in the charge
for milk and decrease of Al per cent.
in the charge for alcohol. A second table
gives returns from 60 hospitals of which
no previous record could be found. On
the basis adopted by DR.. Fleetwood
Buckle, in his report on 1863, these so
hospitals show q decrease of 80 per
cent. in the expenditure for alcohol per
bed. A third table shows the compare
tive alcoholic charges per bed in 1868
and 1883 respectively. In 70 hospitals
there had been an increase Of
210S beds, and decrease of
total average cost per bed of
e7S, IS. g. Beds have thus increased at
the rate of % per cent, while the
amount expended on alcohol has de-
creased at the rate of Al per cent. Only
eight of this group of hospitals showed
an increase in the quantity of alcohol
consumed. In the remaining IS the de-
crease ranged from 80 to So per cent.
In the London Fever Hospital, while
milk has risen from ESQ to 1850 per
annum, the disbursements for alcohol
were at the rate of only 15s. I'd. per
| per bed in 1863 In st. Bartholomew
Hospital the milk bill has gone up from
5000 to over $4,000, while the alcohol
bill had gone down from 81, 446 to 1858.
These statistics prove that there has
been a gradually increasing rational
medical administration of alcohol, the
credit of which must be awarded to the
medical stats of the hospitals, fact
which affords yet another proof of the
lively interest in the promotion of Tenn
perance taken by the medical profess
sion.-British Medical journal.

In fact, Punch was so very metropolitan
that it was provincial.
One day Punch got new contributor.
He was tall, ruddy, full-faced English

six-feet-two and was big in proportion.

spectacles; his laugh was a work of art.

clever fellow. He wrote dainty verses
and cynical stories and drew marvellous
pictures of innocent pot-boys and polite
cab-men. And in spite of the fact that
he was newspaper manor perhaps for
that very reason-he was gentleman
by birth and education. He stamped
the paper with a new tone; he made its
satire universal and adapted its fun for
the appreciation of cultivated men.
After bit he began to gain some little
notoriety under the name of William
Makepeace Thackeray.
At that time the writers for Punch
used to meet for weekly dinner. BY

PEACE THAcK- was of the party.
ERAY. He was the one non
smoker in a crowd of fine old Sir Walter
Raleigh's disciples. Poor fellow, he
couldn't smoke; ono can tell that by
reading his poetry.
Some one said of Wordsworth that if
he had been a worse man he would have
been better poet; there is no doubt
that there is an inspiration in small
vices-properly applied.
Thackeray touched up this little
weakness of DIR. Mackay in a we'll
known soEz with the lucrative refrain:
"Alas, poor Mackay,
Who can't smoke his 'baccy."
One need hardly be told that the
author of Vanity Fair" was a great
smoker. Usually he smoked cigars-a
good habit confirmed By his first trip to
America--but on the night of the
~Punch" dinner he always lit his pipe.

It is merely commonplace, honest old
