The raising of beets for the manu-
facture OF sugar is being advocated in
Ireland and England, where tubers con-
tanning from IL to 10 per cent of sucrose
have been grown. II is estimated that
IL would cost about $50 per acre TO grow
the roots. and that the crop would net
about 500 per acre, showing profit of
$40. This Is on the basis of about i2 tons
of beets per acre, selling at about s4.64
per ton, 90 cents per ton for the beet
pomace. for cattle feeding, together with
balance of 81 per acre for small
beets and leaves for feeding purposes.

MEMBRANOUS DISEASES.
One of the Numerous Ailments Caused
by tho Use of LIQUOR.

If you strip up an orange, you find it
divides into nice little sections, each
about the right size to eat, and inclosed
in special membrane, apparently for
that purpose. If you very carefully re-
move some of that inclosing membrane,
you will find inside other little sections,
each inclosed in a finer membrane; and
these divided into cells by more deli
cato membranes still. Suppose, that,
by some process, all these membranes
were to be made tough, thick and leath-
cry. Your orange would then be scarce
ly eatable. Occasionally we do como
upon thickskinned, tough and dry
specimen that approaches this condi-
ton. But if the orange could feel, and
had life processes to carry on, and there
were interlacing nerves and arteries and
veins and joints which these membranes
inclosed, then you would have some i'm
age of human body with its membranes
thickened and inflamed by alcohol.
Where the thickened mem brane presses
upon nerve there is neuralgia or sci
atica. Some organs are engorged. and
some are starved because the action Of
the inclosing membrane is perverted.
Liver and kidney diseases are largely
SO produced.
The celebrated Sir William Gull, late
physician to the Queen, whose loss all
Temperance people mourn, gave the
following evidence before the House of
Lords: alcohol interferes with the
conveying of tho food into che system,
and the public ought to know that of
all the diluents or solvents for the nu-
tritious parts of food there is nothing
like water. 1t carries into the system
the nutriment in its purest form. 1
hardly know of any more potent cause
of disease than alcohol; it causes dis
eased liver, which disorders the blood,
causing diseased kidneys, heart and
nervous system, besides being fire.
quent source of crime of all kinds A
very large number of persons are dying
day by day, poisoned by stimulants
without it being known. Great injury
is done to health by the use of alcohol
in its various combinations, las wine,
brandy, gin, rum, whisky or BEER,

might as we'll fling out music upon the
whirlwind to stay its course, as to gnF-
ern the storm within by the gent!er

liant which now has power to move, is
ardent spirits; and he who has arrived
at this condition is lost. He has left
far behind the wreck of what he once
was. He is not the same husband, or

swept away for ever whatsoever things

AS the disease makes progress, rheu-
matte pains diffuse themselves through
out the system. The man wonders
what can be the reason that he should
be visited by such complication of dis
eases, and again betakes himself to the
physician and tries every remedy but
the simple one of Temperance. For
these pains are only the murmuringa
and complainings of nature, through
an the system giving signs of woe, that
all is lost. Now comes On the last
catastrophe-the sudden prostration Of
strength and appetite-an increased
difficulty of raising the ebbing tide Of
life by stimulants-a few panic-struck
reformations, just on the sides of tho
pit, until the last sinking comes from
which there is no resurrection but by the
trump of God and at the Judgment day.
And now the woes and the sorrows
and the contentious and the wounds
and babblings are over-the red eye
sleeps-the tortured body rests-the
deformed visage is hid from human OBJ
servation-and the soul, while the dust
crumbles back to dust, returns to God
who gave it, to receive according to the
deeds done in the body.
Such is the evil which demands
remedy. And what can be done to
stop its ravages and rescue its victims?

THE OLDEST GIRL.
She Knows Best How to Make Life Pleas
ant in tho Household.


There is certain ring of pride in
mans voice when he introduces one Of
his own friends by saying: This is my
Oldest girl" It's ring that comes from
satisfaction. He has found that that
oldest girl of his has known how to
make all life pleasanter in the house,
hold, and there is nothing which
delights him so much as for her
to have some sort of an enter
tainment where the other girls and
the young men are asked. Then he
thinks they see just what his oldest
girl is. She knows how to make this
formal party very pleasant one; she
hasn't got the room so crowded with
decorated scrap-baskets, paper flowers,
ribbon trimmed chairs and untidy tides
so as to interpose a screen between
everybody; but she has it looking we'll
furnished, home-like and cheerful. The
lamp shades are as brightas only glasses
can be, and you know whose busy hands
keeps them in order the year round. On
the table are the illustrated papers,
some photographs and some books.
Not stiffiy piled, but laid about
carelessly that they may be picked
up and talked about. Some pretty
pictures stand on top of the piano, and
there is a vase filled with flowers, SO
that the shyest girl in the world doesn't
mind going back there to play for every
body because her face is hidden. Your

light cake, the daintily-cut sandwiches,
the chocolate in its thin cups and the
lemonade in its small glasses are served.
Your oldest girl and the other girls ar
ranged all this, and then, so that there
might be no confusion, had plates and
napkins piled on the table, and, in addi-
ton to your own one obliging maid, got
in her sister for the evening, so every
body was served. She had hard work to
convince the maid that all the ladies
were not to be attended to first, but at
last she did make her understand that
each group was to be served, and so the
chatter and talk was not stopped. She
got whoever she could to play something
pleasant on the piano, but she didn't en-
courage classical music. When it came
to question of singing she preferred
that whoever could would give them
dainty little ballads, and eventually tho
evening was wound up with song
familiar to them all; and every body,
old and young, joined in the chorus.
You're right. Say it with pride always.
Look at her lovingly and appreciate at
her full worth ''your Oldest girl. -

THE LADIES' LUNCHEON.
1t Frequently Rivals in Elegance the Din
ner of Ceremony.

ner oil Ceremony.
BY a process of evolution, almost as
gradual as that of the development of
the human species, the early dinner has
become merged into the luncheon, so
that instead of the old formula of break
fast, dinner and tea, we have the modern
ono, which calls for breakfast luncheon
and dinner, the old-fashioned supper be-
ing almost thing of the past.
For many years after the luncheon
became an established institution, it
was the informal meal of the day, hur.
riedly eaten, and mostly composed of
The luncheon of the present, even en-
famille, has but little affinity with that
of the past, often being as ceremonious
and as carefully prepared as the late
dinner. 1t is, however, essentially a
lady's meal, for few men possess suf-
ficent leisure to enjoy this repast in
their own houses.
America can claim the honor of in
augurating the lady's luncheon with it's
ten courses, its hand-painted menus and
its fiower-bedecked tables. These
lunches frequently rival in elegance and.
ostentation the dinner de haute cere-
monte, the sole difference being that
the ladies do not come in full dress. On
these occasions they wear handsome
visiting toilettes, retaining their bon
nets, although, of course, removing the
gloves. Dresses of heavy texture should
be eschewed, as the apartments in this
country are generally overheated; the
smaller and lighter the bonnet tho more
comfortable one is apt to be, and there
seems really no reason why it should be
worn at all.
AS gentlemen are excluded from all
participation in the ladies' luncheon, o
delightful absence of formality is the
result, and in consequence the liberty
of saying just what one pleases is fire.
euently abused. Often choice dish of
scanGal is served up with a sauce
piquante, but in the best houses the
hostess frowns upon all unkind and
f1ippant remarks. and if she is possessed
of tact, she can readily turn the tide OF
conversation into some less dangerous
channel. To discuss the shortcomings
of ones servants and the cute sayings
of ones little ones is both uninteresting
and in very bad taste, when there are
so many matters of current interest
upon which one can converse.-Jenness-

FOREIGN SERVANTS.
An Exploded Fallacy Touching the Do
nestle Service Business.

1.-THE theory that great many house,
holders have" the head of large fam
lily remarked yesterday, that it is a
good policy to get servant from the
other side of the water and break him
or her in to suit the requirements of the
household ought to have been pretty we'll
exploded by this time. l have expert
mented upon it three times during the
last five years, and l shall never be
caught by it again. 1t takes about eight
months to teach raw German, Irish or
Swedish girl her business. After she
has thoroughly learned it she usually
requires from ten days to two weeks to
make up her mind about the exact hour
of her departure. Then she disappears
and takes service in another family,
and her instructors are left feeling
vaguely about for the object of their
creation. 1t is curious thing that
some of the most valuable servants in
Europe become utterly worthless when
they are imported into this country.
Like many other Americans l have been
frequently struck by the efficiency of
servants in English households, and
both my brother and l have imported
several women from London to act as
Mattresses and housemaids. We have
never found them at all available. Their
heads become turned almost Immediate
ly after they have arrived hero by the
different conditions governing the rela-
lions of master and servant, and they
are nearly always unable to do any
thing outside of the beaten paths Of
their duties. American servants must
have an all-around efficiency. An En-
glish servant, if she is a housemaid,
would no moro think of performing the
minor functions of cook than she
would consider it feasible to write short
hand with her toes. Hence the domes-
tic difficulties which English servants
nearly always inspire here.--N. y. Star.
