Don't wash your face when you ar,

Don't attempt to remove dust with

using plenty Of good soap, then give it a

Don'trub your face with a coarse tow;

Our Especial Work.

The Son-Par'isan seems to have come
into being with a distinct and important
mission for such time as this. Some
very significant facts have appeared in
these last. and their lesson is clearly the
vital necessity of popular education in
the scientific, the social and the moral
aspects of the temperance question
1t Is not TO be denied that there Is
still an amazing ignoTsuce regarding the
physiological Effects of al oho "A
great deal OF it is very bad. but little Is
good, Is the belief OF thousands who
have no conception of the fact that it is
the nature, and therefore the invariable
fleet, of little alcohol to create an ap-
petite for more. The in telligeuce of the
people has not yet been enlisted for to-
tai abstinence. When 1t is SO enlisted
there will be no trouble in securing the
prohibition Of the traffic. Given q self
governing nation. in which the mind and
conscience of the majority are thorough
ly committed to the principle of total
abstinence. and prohibition enacted and
enforced will follow.
The great work which positively must
be done before prohibitory laws can be
secured, or if secured. retained, Is such
education of the people as will produce
4 constraining sentiment in its behalf.
And this educational work will have to
De done, in the main, by an organization
which has no other great aim, which Is
free from political eutanslements, free
from dwartirg ambitious. committed to
its one purpose of sentiment creation.
Such, it seems to US, is the Non Partisan
/ Union. Its hands are free for the work
in question; and if faithful to its trust,
It is surely destined TO do great and es-
sential service

Sleeping In the Woods.

Imagine your bed-chamber Of odor-
GUS bark. and your bed of pungl ent
boughs. Your couch made under muir
muring trees and within few yards of
the lszily moving water, whose motions
caress rather than chafe the shore.
Stretched your full length on such a
couch spread in such place, the process
of falling asleep becomes an experience.
You lie and watch yourself to observe
the gradual departure Of your senses.
Little by little you feel yourself passing
away. Slowly and easily as an ebbiug
tide you begin to pass into the dim and
insensible realm beyond the line of feel.
ing. At last moment comes 10 which
you know you are passing over the very
verge OF consciousness. You are aware
that you are about to fall asleep. Your
cheek but partially interprets the cool
pressure of the night wind; your ears
drowsily surrender the lingering murmur
Of beach and pine; your eyes droop their
lids little by little; your nose slightly
senses the odor of the pny air, as you
mechanically draw it in; the chest fallr
as it passes as mechanically out, and then
YOU are asleep.
The hours pass, and still you sleep on.

pine above you, in the deep hush which
precedes the coming of dawn, stills its
monotone, and silence weaves its airy
web amid the motionless stems. The
water falls asleep. The looms head i.

and lies curved IN Its messy bed. The
rats no longer draw their tiny wake

Dear CHristidn Women NJ the Nation:
Knowing that some women are now doing
TEN r5-rsnce work under Limitations that
prevent their entering heartily into the
>ervice required that many have dropped
out Of tie ranks for the same cause, and
are giving their time and strength to other
branches of philanthropic and Chrisain
work, rather than to this which had a
stronger claim upon them and knowing
also that the gree, majority even of Christ
ian women have never engaged in active
Temperance service, We are constrained to
appeal TO Won In behalf of the work to
which God ssems to have specially called
the WOMEN Of this age.
If you are not already identified with
some Temperance organization with which
you are III active Sympathy. We would
urge upon your immediate attention the
claims Of the society We represent. as afford
lug the widest scope for individual liberty
of oppiniou. and Unreasonable opportunity
for doing god.
Every intelligent Christian woman of
to-day must recognize the demands Of
this work upon her thoughts, her earnest
prayers, and her perseyering effort. The
time hss fully come when she that gath
ereth not with the temperance host scat
tereth abroad neutral position can
not be maintained The world will
count every woman for or against the
sssin IIe'IaHte- REFORM: We therefore 5eg of
you to take steps at once to form a bond
OF union among women Of like temperance
faith.
Tie partisanship of the old organization
has been fully demonstrated in the record
OF the past few years: the n-partisanship
Of the new national union is set forth in
It's constitution aud platform of principles
In one or the other every woman who
values the safety of her own dear ones, or
the common veal which makes us all akin,
must ind her true place. We have no
disposition to ALLEVIATE any woman from
the methods of her choice, but We do want
the women whose judgment and sympathy
are in full accord with ours. to put their
lat or in line with their convictions, beliey-
ing that by SO doing they will accomplish
most for God and humanity.
Whole hearted service is what this cause
demands, and this cannot be given unless
Judgment and conscience are hand il hand
with effort.
II ours is the platform you can fully en-
dorse then let us hear that you are ready
for seryice.tC do whatever duty NAV de-
nand and your circumstances permit: and

How to Display an Advertisement

1t is difficult to fix any rule, since each
case requires different treatment. In ev
cry instance catch line" or a cate h
word is desirable, which will arrest the
attention at glance.
The fewer words used the better in
purely displayed advertisements. Avoid
lengthy descriptions of articles; people
seldom IT al them.
Use plain type easily read. The test of
an advertisement is its legbility. Fancy
letters aud intricate designs are waste
of time and space. Puzzles, inverted words,
lines set on angles or lengthwise i'll col
umus never accomplish what is expected
of them. Leave margin of blank space
on top, sides and bottom of your advertise
