woman of education, wealth, foreign
travel. conspicuous in social life, a
mother, and the wife of wealthy we'll
known citizen of Chicago. She was &C.
companied by her child, beautiful boy
of four years. A gentleman of this city,
fellow passenger in the car, relating
the story, says of the mother that at
evening she had to be helped by the
porter and conductor to her berth, and
adds: II see that golden-baired boy,
kneeling by his mothers side, saying
his evening prayer, and looking up into
her face with childish wonderment, as
she strives to say to him the dear old
words of Now lay me down to Sleep

from the power of self-perpetuation in
this appetite, the life of drinker of
alcoholics has but two periods, in the
first of which he could leave of it he
would, and in the last, he would leave
of If he could. But how shall the young
and though!tless avoid this supreme
peril of their youth unless they know
about it, and how shall they learn
without teacher, and how shall they
teach except they be sent? This, then,
is the rationale of scientific Temperance
instruction in the public schools.
Natures way of bringing order out of
chaos is to steadily food darkness with
light, and we shall never get beyond
this method by any spasmodic pyro-
technics, which, no matter how popular
for the time, only serve to make the
darkness more visible when the arti-
fetal coruscations are withdrawn.
When see our school boys stunting
their growth and drying up their brains
with smoke; when l discover that their
very cigars are soaked in alcohol and
liquors, and. that the boys are baited
with beer and enticed into saloons BY
music, games and evil company; when
/ am told Of their degeneracy in
scholarship, so that the percentage of
girls who graduate and who take
honors is steadily gaining on that of
the boys, it seems to me that 1 can not
wait until the schools of my country
focus their splendid light upon the
problem of prevention. 1t is glorious
thing to 60 to the rescue Of wicked and
ruined manhood with the life-boat of
reform, but far better to build light
