Housewives must often have wondered
where all the rags go to after they pass
into the wagon of any one of the sever
al hundred ragmen who pass through
the alleys with their monotonous cries.
These gatherers Of old rags take them
to warehouses where they are bought in
bulk, and then assorted by girls accord
ing to quality. There was time when
most of the rags were sent to paper
mills Now a very small proportion Of
rags are made into paper, straw and clay
being the chief ingredients Fine linen
paper. so called, is made Of rags. Nine
ty per cent OF the rags collected, how.
ever, go into the manufacture OF ''shod-
dy," Of which cheap ready-made cloth
ing is manufactured. This stuff is now
made up into the brightest and most at
tractive patterns, and can only be told
when new from wool by the expert and
by experience with the wearer. ''Shod-
dy is king" say the wool men, and this
accounts for the n1ercurial condition Of
the wool markets. Louis Globe-De

A Habit That is Nothing But Bad-in-
trinsically Savage, UnchlvaIrous and
Unchrlstian.
The following letter was addressed
by the late Charles Kingsley to public
school-boy, who had put money into a
sweepstakes without thinking it was
wrong:
my DEAREST Boy: There is a mat
ter which gave me much uneasiness
when you mentioned it. You said you
had put into some lottery for the Derby,
and had hcdged to make safe. Now all
that is bad-bad, nothing but bad. OF
all habits, gambling is the one / hate
most and have avoided most. OF all
habits, it grows most on eager minds.
Success and loss alike make it grow. OF
all habits, however much civilized men
may give away to It, it is one OF the
most intrinsically savage. Historically,
it has been the peace excitement OF the
lowest brutes in human form for ages
past. Morally, it is unchivalrous and
unchristian. 1. 1t gains money by the
most unjust means, for It takes money
out OF your neighbours pocket without
giving him any thing in return. .. 1t
tempts you to use what you fancy your
superior knowledge of a horses merits
or any thing else-to your neighbor's
harm. II you know better than
your neighbor, you are bound
TO give him your advice. In
stead, you conceal your knowledge to
win from his ignorance; hence come all
sorts Of concealmcnts, lodges, deceits-

I'm sure, moreover, that the head-mas-
ter would object seriously to any thing
like lottery, betting or gambling.

1t is this: My friend would win from

Among spring goods there appears TO
be marked prevalence of tartans, in
new beautiful color-mixtures, like old
rose, copper and mignonette, sumach
red, olive, gold and brown, etc There
are also richly plaided stripes, the al
ternate stripe in monochrome, and many
floral and conventional patterns brought
out in fine ''art" colors. These on the
sample cards appear to obtain very
largely over the handsome self-colored
cashmeres, camels-hair goods, and other
fine woods, that to very many are pref
cradle and more refined in effect than
their gayer contrasts. These stripes
and plaids on new spring gowns are all
arranged so as to diversity the old effect
OF lines going all in one direction. The
skirt draperies are mostly bias in their
adjustment, and on some of the bodices
the fabric is cut SO that in the case Of
stripes these all converge at certain
seams; and to produce this result the
side seams are cut quite on the cross.
II the lining Of the gown be cut exactly
on the straight, and the outside bias,
there will never be any fear of undue
stretching, though the two materials be
cut in exactly opposite ways.-N. Y.

CHRISTIANS AND WINE.

A Great Hindrance to the Progress OF
Temperance Reform.
If to be a Christian is to be Christ
like, then many indulgences common to
the worldly-minded must be forborne by
the true followers of the Master.
Among these is the indulgence in wine
of the kind which is ''mocker," and
which at the last ''biteth like serpent
and stingeth like an adder" There is a
wine which ''maketh glad the heart of
man." the pure juice Of the grape, un-
fermen.ed and without alcohol. 1t is
not o. .his wine that we write now.
Alcoholic wine-drinking. as has been
abundaatly demonstrated by science, is
in no sense a necessity. and the illustra-
lions are only too frequent and too
painful that it is harmful for all; and
for many. with the hereditary alcoholic
appetite, extremely perilous- The
ethics OF selfishness prompt the con-
tinuance of the indulgence, though,
through the force of example, other
souls are imperiled thereby. Christian
ethics enjoin abstinence, alike for the
individual and ON account of others
The great Presbyterian church voices
truly the Christian sentiment when it
declares officially: Total rabstinence
from inebriating drinks should be the
principle followed by all the followers
of Jesus"
One OF the greatest OF the present
hindrances to the progress OF the Ten
perance reform is the continuance Of
aesthetic wine-drinking by many pro-
Tossing Christians While such continue
the wine indulgence, at private dining
tables, club and college dinners, and at
elegant receptions, it will be practically
impossible either TO dissuade, or to
legally prevent, others from the evil in

A cHuRcH-eolNo DOG.
He is Very Wise and Cunning. and Always
Knows When Sunday Comes.

lie is Very Wise and Cunning. and Always
Knows When Sunday Comes.
Captain is a big black dog with a
shaggy coat. He is very wise. He
knows almost as much as some men. His
name for short is Cap.
Caps master lives mile from town.
On Sundays he takes his family to
church.
Cap likes to go to church, too. He
likes it best in winter, because there is
no dust, and there is soft white cover
on the ground.
After breakfast the big sleigh dashes
up to the door, All the children get in
and cuddle down in the warm robes.
Then the horses prance of; the bells
jingle, and Cap trots along behind, a
very happy dog.
Cap used to follow the family into
church and lie down at his masters feet.
Sometimes he fell asleep-Cap, not his
master-and he snored so loud every
body heard him. 1t made Bobby laugh
right out.
After that his master said he must be
left at home on Sundays. So they tried
to slip off while Cap lay by the fire and
not let him know. But they could not
cheat Cap. He always came scampering
after them as hard as he could run, and
looked up at them with his big brown
eyes as If TO say: "Why did you go of
and leave me?"
One night his master said: "To-mor-
row Cap must be shut up. He must not
go to church any more"
SO in the morning Bobby and his father
took Cap out to the barn. Then they
went out quick and shut the door.
Poor Cap had long, lonely day. He
scratched on the door and cried, but no
body heard him. Tho church-bells were
ringing and the sun was shining-it
shone through a knot-hole in the barn
he wanted to 90 to church so muchl But
he had to give it up. Poor Capt
Next Sunday morning after breakfast
they went to get Cap to lock him up
again, but doggie was not TO be found.
They looked upstairs and downstairs,
and outdoors and everywhere, but no
Cap. So they started for church.
When they had got almost there, what
did they see bu Cap sitting in corner
OF fence waiting for theml
He was glad to see them. He jumped
up and wagged his tail and trotted after
the sleigh.
Cap was wise old fellow. After that
he seemed to know when Sunday came.
When the nine o'clock bell rang Cap
was up and of Sometimes he would
get to church first, and when they came,
there he would sit in corner Of the
pew. Even Bobby's father could not
help laughing then.
But Cap snored so badly one Sunday
that his master had to put him out right
in the midst OF the sermon. Cap went
out with his head down and his tail
down very much ashamed.
After meeting his master told the
minister how much Cap loved TO go
TO church.
The minister said: poor old fellow,
let him come, 1 will and a place for
him"
SO the next Sunday the minister took
Cap up into his nice warm study and let
him lie by the fire and sleep while the
folks were in church.
And now Cap is very happy dog once /
more. He goes to church every Sunday 1
when the others go. and does not have |
to run away.-Mrs. C. NJ. Livingston, in

MISERABLE HOMES.

The Liquor Traffic and Poverty Every
Dollar Spent in the Saloon a Blow at
the Family.
An old citizen of Madison in our office
recently said: YOU'D be surprised to
see how some of my neighbors live. You
wouldn't think that any one in Madison
lived on such starvation food as some of
them eat. There was little boy came
to take supper with my little boy the
other evening. We had warm cakes with
butter on. The little fellow enjoyed
them greatly, and said to my boy:
I'VE don't have no butter to our
house"
"Ho, what dye eat on yer bread"
said my boy.
"0h, we didn't have nHthin'; but
when we killed the pig, then we eat
lard on our bread"
I've been in the homes ofsome of the
poorer people about there" continued
the gentleman, land I've seen the fam
lilies sit down to the table with nothing
on the cover but dish of potatoes with
skim milk poured over them. l don't
know of one of those families where the
man of the house does not patronize the
saloon. The father of that little boy
who eats lard on his bread has all the
beer and tobacco he wants every day."
A prominent railroad man of the city
tells US that near his depot lives little
boy whose father is full o. liquor as
as often as he can fill up. The little lad
had such an uncomfortable home and
his father so often fogs him that he
spends large part of his time in the
depot. This winter the boy quit coming
to the depot. Upon inquiry the gentle
man found that the lad had to stay in
the house because he had no shoes
In the city Of Madison there are
doubtless several thousand people who
suffer to a greater or less degree for the
actual necessities Of life. Perhaps one
third of the population do without the
common comforts because of drink.
There are seventy-two saloons in the
city that are gathering in the money
that should be spent for these things.
They swallow each year over $3.50, 200
worth of home comforts
On a recent Saturday twenty-eight
farm teams were counted about one
farmers saloon in Madison. 1t is safe
enough to reckon that twenty-eight
farmers spent money for liquor thatday
and went home with foul-smelling
breaths and minus little money. Prob
ably some went home ugly or stupidity
drunk. Suppose the money that went
for that beer had been spent for oranges,
candy and nuts for the wife and children
1t home, the fathers return would be
hailed with delight and the home bond
be strengthened. Every dollar spent in
the saloon is a blow at the family, and
he family is the defense Of our Nation

HENDERSON CAPTURED. :
Constable West Arrests Lem Nor
ris' Slayer.

HE WILL GET 5000 FOR THE JOB
Jack Henderson, who shot and ia
tally wounded Lem Morris at Fergu-
sons Store, in the Wilson District,
several weeks ago, was captured Fri
day by Constable w. III. West, o.
Hopkinsville No. 2, assisted by his
son, Joe West. II will be remembered
that the two young men fell out over
a game of cards and that Henderson
opened fire on Morris, wounding him
in two, places. Morris fingered for
some time, but finally died from his
injuries. Henderson disappeared af-
ter the shooting and has been in hid
ing ever since. Last week Officer
West learned of bis whereabouts and
on Friday concluded TO go out and
bring him in. They reached Hender-
sons home, near Pilot Rock, at 5
O'Clock in the morning and succeeded
in locating their game in an old
smokehouse, where he had fixed up
bed and had been hiding for some
time. Joe West went in while his
father kept watch on the outside.
Henderson when brought to bay
showed fight and drew pistol, but
as West had the drop on him he final
ly submitted quietly to arrest and
was brought TO town by his captors,
arriving about noon.
He was arraigned before Esq. Dav-
ison, who committed him to Jail and
set-his examining trial for next Thurs
day.
Constable West will get reward
OF 800 for the arrest $50 offered
by the State and $50 from the county.
Henderson is youth who has bare
ly reached manhood and looks like
else than a desperate. He
is to all appearances an ignorant
country boy, of but little intelligence
and perhaps hardly realizes the very
bad scrape in which he finds himself.
He has retained Mr.. JAS. Breathitt to
defend him.
