pARNryM trpsErs STATISTICS.

A small controversy is going on now
among certain English newspapers regard
ing the duration of life of persons using in
toxicating liquors, and recent issue OF the
London Express says that, according to the
statistics, P. T. Barnum who is now IN MS
eightieth year, should have died twenty-six
years and some months ago, his allotted age
being less than ffty-fpur years. The same
ar,s average On I! k;s6n statistical showing, is
a little over fifty three years, while the
moderate drinker has ten years more OF ire
than his totally abstemious brother. Bar
mum has been, according to the same author
ity, "a teetotaller for the last twenty years,
of statistics, or else playing It very low down
OF the other total abstainers, whose average
life hs is cutting down .o. frightful extent
by living SO much beyond his rightful st9tis-
ticaI turn. As matter of fact, Mr.. Bar.

of over forty years mot twenty, as stated,

vet, lace and bead fringe in gold and jet
mingled.
OF this last description is made the
sumptuous wrap herewith shown, which
in spite of its elaborate appearance is
quite easy TO make. The back is Of black
velvet and the jacket forms in front, Wills
the vest is filed in with Spanish lace.
The sleeves are made of lace, with a
pointed band of velvet edged with fine
gold braid. On the edge of the jacket
front is rich outline laid on in gold
braid, filled in by fine cut jet beads, and
this is also placed on the front at the
neck, and the collar is braided TO match.
Below this trimming falls a rich fringe
in gold beads mingled with jet. The
back is finished in much the eame way.
This wrap is most handsome over

listers are now trimmed around the
bottom with three, four or five rows of
wide castle braid or a band of ''nigger

according to fancy, and not necessarily
to match the skirt of the ulster. The
collars are usually arranged SO that they
can be worn up or down. The Medici

mountains rose to the armament and the

waters subsidized; small herbs grew, and in
the lapse Of cycles developed into shrubs

greater creatures developed out of lesser.
Beetles in the course of ages became tor

A Mothers Love.

Some years ago the visitor who went on
Saturdays to the penitentiary at Fort Mad
isOn would see at certain times a lady in
the office of the warden. She was always
yelled and dressed in deep black. By her
side there would be a convict, boy hardly
seventeen years old. slight, handsome lad,
whose frank face seemed in striking dis
harmony with the degradation of the stripes
he wore. 1t was mother and son. and he
was indeed hard hearted who could witness
their meeting and their parting when the
allotted time allowed by the prison rules
for such interviews had expired. The
mother lived at distance. but every week,
rain or shine, brought her to the place again
to see. to cheer, and to help her boy, to
wiring her heart with fresh agony, for she
was proud woman of high station in So
ciety. but to show that there was one friend
in all the world to remember and to sympa-
thiZe.
1t has been years since that boy was re-
leased from the prison walls, and he is to-
day a prosperous and honest man. The
mothers love helped the boy back to better
ways.-The Church News, London.
