THE STBIULANT FALLACY.

Most of the favorite arguments OF our
lager beer sophists postulate the assumption
that stimulants-in other words, poisons of
some sort or other, are indispensable to the
organic welfare Of human beings, and that
the prohibition of popular tipples will com.
pei their votaries to resort to other and
worse tonics-opium, absinthe OF chloral.
The origin of that very prevalent fallacy is
the circumstance that all poison habits are
progressive, and that topper, once initiated
in the worship of any drastic stimulant, will
either increase the dose OF his wanted tonic
OF resort to more potent--and naturally
more deleterious-drugs Those facts how
ever, are wholly compatible with the equally
important truth that longevity. health and
abundant vigor of body and mind may be
enjoyed by total abstainers from all arti-
fetal stimulants whatever, and that children,
exhibiting evidences of exuberaut vitality.
may grow up without betraying as much as
an incidental appetency for tea, coffee, to-
bacco Oh any kind of alcoholic beverages

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Second thoughts are the adopted chils5
dren of experience.
The error of a moment may become
the sorrow Of whole life. -! =;
Flattery is sort of bad money, t9-
which vanity gives currency. HI
Life is like flower, which is no soon5
or blown than it begins to wither. *::l
Good will, like good name, is got by
many good actions, and lost by none.if
If you promise at all, take care that it
be so that nobody may suffer by trusting,
you.
The only thing which every one can
do, and the only thing which any one
need do, is his duty. i
1t is sign of wisdom to be willing to
receive instruction; the most intelligent;
sometimes stand in need of it. !
Fidelity, good humor and complacencY
of temper outlive all the charms of fine
face, and make the decays of it invisible"
He that cannot forgive others breaks
the bridge over which he must pass hlm5
self; for every man has need to be for-
given. !.
Talking politics is like the man who
followed an old circus ring in the dark
thinking he was on the path toward,
home. Il
If one wishes to take things easy when,
one is old, it will be necessary to take
many things that are not easy when one one
is young. Il
There is no more virtue in a ballot
which is cast by man instructed how to
vote, than there is in repeating the words
of another. y
Kind words are the brightest flowers
of earth's existence; they make a very
paradise of the humblest home that the
world can show. 6
Persons who fear their enemies by low
ing them, Will become so entangled IA u!
obligations that condition of servitude
will be their reward. J

automatically every impression that is

automatically every impression tnat is
made.
Each impression calls for a sheet of
paper; so that all the clerk who makes
his examination at the end of the day
has to do is to see whether the number of
printed sheets returned correspond with
the number of the register. This must
also correspond with the record in the
wetting-room.
These precautions were necessary to
prevent dishonesty, for otherwise itmight
be easy for printer to smuggle in
blank sheet of paper and fill it with i'm
pressions of 500 notes, and no one would
be the wiser.
The numbering division is the last
room through which the printed sheets
have to pass. Here the blue numbers
and letters are stamped upon the notes,
in accordance with system which has
been devised in order to make it easier
for experts to detect spurious notes.
When it is considered how large a
variety of bank notes, Treasury notes,
silver certificates, bonds, revenue and
postage stamps are printed at the Govern
ment Bureau, it will at once be seen Of
how vast magnitude the work OF this
Department is.
1t keeps hundreds of persons con-
stantly employed, from artists and skilled
mechanics down to the girls who sort
over and counts the sheets Of paper. In
1862 the Superintendent of the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing had only one
male and four female assistants. The
Department now employs more than one
thousand persons.
The face value of the securities printed
by the Bureau from July, 1869, to July:
1883, aggregated S13, 10S, sos, 634, and
the amount previously produced would
probably bring the total up to S2O, ,0o0,'
| 100000.
When bank notes have outlived theil
period of usefulness they are redeemed
by the various sub-treasuries of the Gov
eminent and sent back in bulk to ths
Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The!
are then dumped into big cylinders a
large as locomotive boilers, which are
called macerators. Lime and soda ash /.
then added and the cylinders put in mo.
ton. When the mass has been reduced
to a pulp it is drawn off in semi-liquid
form, and pumped into the paper" room,
where it is manufactured into thick sheet:
of paper. Some of it is cast into vari.
ous forms, including little statuettes
which are sold by the Washington sta

These machines are very expensive,
and arc very complicated in their con-

A KABYLE WOMAN.

Brooches are of many different forms
and sizes. The large round brooch with
hanging chains and ball pendants is only
worn after woman has borne child,
and even then with a difference. Thus
the mother of daughter wears hers in a
bodice: bat the proud mother Of son
sets hers in the middle of her forehead,
with the balls falling over her eyebrows.
From this honored position it is some
times torn and flung in rage and defiance
at the feet of the husband when some
domestic difference of opinion has in
duced him unduly to chastise the wearer,
says the Jecclers' Weekly.
Earrings as shown in our illustration
are made of different patterns. Some

rough coral and with colored glass beads.
The diadems worn, as may be seen by
our picture of Kabyle beauty, are very
handsome and original. They are usually
made of three plaques of metal joined
together by hemisphcres of bright metal
which have a very striking effect.
The plaques are always enameled and
enriched with round pieces of coral set
in rows, such as arc seen in a Jewish high
priests breastplate. The diadem is
placed around the turban-shaped head
dress and is supported in its place by
means of small hooks, which fasten on
the top of the turban. A row Of varied
pendants bangles over the eyebrows.

CHAPTER XIII.

CHApIEH ALL.
The morning of November 30tb
dawned clear and crisp. All who had
been at the party had been dreaming
of Lenora's beautiful face, and the
sweet songs she had sung.
Inc master OF the cottage was
awakened from his sleeping dream OF
his daily thought, the little prisoner,
by a sharp, quick knock on his door.
Halo, what's wanting?"
"a message for you, master"
Every we'll, bring it in, Henry"
The message was the much-looked-
for telegram that ordered him to
Springfield Immediately.
He glanced ut his watch and saw
that it was nine o'clock.
Henry, order me some breakfast
Immediately, and 60 and tell your
mistress that I would like to see her in
the library at a quarter past ten."
The breakfast was ordered and the
message delivered to Lenora's maid.
"She is not we'll this morning, Henry,
and has slept but very little ali night.
I do not know whether she will be able
to 60 down or not this morning, but
will tell her when she awakes."
Gertana had heard Henry come up
the stairs and wrap on Lenora's door.
She stepped to the door of her own
room that then stood slightly ajar, and
heard what Henry had said.
"Yes, Sylvester Noll, you want her
10 go to the library, that you may tor
me mt her still more. Very we'll; I will bs
there also, but behind the curtains, in
my old hiding place"
Lenora's faithful friend was dressed
and ready to 60 down to her hiding
place at the appointed time, but the
weary little prisoner was still asleep.
AS she had slept 30 little during the
night, her maid would not awaken her,
so it was long past the time before that
gentle, timid tap was heard on the door
that Noll was so impatienty waiting
for.
It was then almost time for him to
start to the train, but he was determined
to see Lenors before he went.
AS he heard Lenors's gentle tap at
the door he instantly opened 1t and
reached ont his arms as if to draw her
gentle, shrinking form to his bosom,
but she stepped back out of his reach.
"Good-morning, Miss Lenora. Twas
afraid that you were going to disap-
point me. Have chair; I want to talk
to you few moments"
But Lenora would not sit down, and
stood up against the wall while her
great, dark, beautiful eyes stared him
directly in the face.
"I had no particular reason to de-
cline your request for an interview, but
you are aware that your presence is
very repugnant to me, and I wish to
repeat again, that whatever may hap
pen, I shall never retract my first state:

WHAT Enoch Pratt of Baltimore says

young men who are anxious to advance

can earn five dollars they should save
and put ont at interest one dollar of it.

lie said that the purchase Of that calf
was the best thing lie ever did, for the
calf grew just the same whether her
owner was asleep or awake, and almost
before he knew it she had grown to a
full-sized COW, worth many times what
he had paid for her."

A Kablye Woman's Curious Jewelry.

The principal jewels of a Kabyle woman
arc double shoulder pins joined together
by chain-sometimes with an amulet in
the middle, used for fastening the dress
on the shoulders. Her dress owes very
little to the art of the dressmaker. The
bodice is formed anew each morning by
being secured on the shoulders by these
pins, which are generally alike.

FACTS UNEARTHED BY THE ANTI-ALCoBoLIc
CONGRESS-.

The Anti Alcoholic Congress in Paris
brought out many serious facts, one OF
which is that the dram-shops in Paris have
risen since 1850 from "a ,000 to 29, 900. LII
thirty years the consumption OF alcohol has
been trebled, and as much as 6,0OODOo ga
Ions has been manufactured out Of potatoes
for the French market. This shows al aver
age yearly consumption OF over twelve
quarts per adult man. The consumption OF
alcohol doubled between 1873 and 1883. Ii
attans its maximum i'll the colliery distrl
of the Norj, while strangely enough in the
wine countries of Southern France the con-
sumption is lowest. However, deaths from
alcoholism are much fewer in the north Of
France than either in England or Russia.
The Congress voted a resolution to tho effect
that inebriates should be treated as mad, and
that prison-hospitals should be created for
them.-Oncs.a q Week.
