waste, that the poverty of the masses

The rum traffic takes from
the people each year nearly four times
as much as the entire revenue from the

customs are about $3.50, 600, 900; the an

that the rum question should be dis
cussed from its economic and moral
sides by the reformers and true friends
of the people? Why should this unmit-
igated curse of the rum traffic, which
keeps thousands in poverty, breeds vice,
fosters crime and burdens the Nation
with an annual tax three-fourths as

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
AN AWFUL DEMON.

We want your help, my noble boys,
An army OF you. to threttle
The powerful demon of all unrest
Who turks in a black glass bottle.
Sometimes 'tisn't black, but il usually is,
And yen may not see him Turk.
But you can't turn to left, or right, or front,
Without seeing some of his work.
He's the grandest ally old Satan has,
Cunning as well as strong,
And he works by night as well as day
And hides his work with a song.
'Tis only to stiie his victims cries
That he hides his work with mirth
For the greatest woe is the demons own,
That is known in all the carr
And the world wants you whovare growing men
To help in this coming fight.
The race before you have Battled long.
But have failed TO make things right;
So grid yourselves, it will need you all
All, on the righteous side,
To put your feet on the demons neck,
And his terrible power outride.
But oh beware lest he conquer you,
For the end thereof is DEATH
Death to the body and death TO the soul
Is dealt by his deadly breath.
So come, even now we want you all
To save the world to-day;
Your strong young arms, and courage high,
To cast the curse away.
The cry goes up from the anguished earth:
'How long. o, Lord how longy'
Mid the din of midnight revelry
And the victims drunken song.
So move to your places in the ranks
And give all your strength to throttle
Him who is peopling the under world
The demon that turks in the bottle.

A Common Enemy.

Statistics show that the drinking por-
ton of every fifty-seven adult males in
some communities Chicago, for in
stance,) supports saloon. This means
that certain number Of families are
impaired in their resources to precisely
this amount, which must be equal to alb
sorbing the total earnings of at least
six families out of the proportion OF
fifty-seven actively engaged in support
ing the saloon. These six families have
to be supported by the sober element Of
the group and therefore the saloon is
the pecuniary enemy of all families in
communities tolerating them. The pc
cuniary damage is not lessened if we
choose to regard the expense as APP
portioned upon the average among the
whole number. For in any case it
means that the saloon subtracts that
part of the communal resources, out OF
which savings and the more ornamental
part of the expenses would otherwise
come. The saloon, therefore, tends to
restrict all families within its influ-
ence to a mere struggle for existence on
the lowest and barest plane.-Union

Phi. de Clarmont gives an account, in
lie Moniteur de Ia Teinture, of a white
satin dress totally ruined by its trimming
with English lace. The dress had been
worn but once, had then been packed into
n trunk which was deposited in a damp
place and exposed TO emanations of hydro
sulphuric acid from gas. When taken out
it was found that the pattern of the lace.
particularly of its tulle ground, had been
printed in indelible black upon the white
satin. The accident was not difficult to
explain.
English lace is habitually charged with
sulphate of lead, which in this case alb
sorbed hydrogen and hydrosulphuric acid
from the atmosphere, forming sulphide of
lead, which had been imprinted and fixed
upon the white satin, which naturally had
also absorbed hydrogen and hydrosulphu-
rio acid. The seller of the lace showed
that charging English lace with white
lead (~sulphate of lead) was commercial
usage, and thereby escaped paying the
damage. An Objectionable usage it is at
any rate, as the absorption of lead through
the skin from such lace may become dan
gerous to health.

4 traveller on the London and North
western railway, while going southwark
from Edinburgh by the west coast route,
states that, noticing the great speed of the
train, he took the trouble to reckon what
it was. In the space of six miles he found
that it averaged eighty miles an hour. He
was sitting in a compartment of an eight
wheeled coach, weighing about nineteen
tons, and Notwithstanding the extraordi-
nary speed there was an entire absence OF
oscillation, and the carriage is described as
being il a state of perfection. So far as
any motion of the carriage was concerned
it was impossible for the passenger to tell
whether he was going at the rate of eighty
miles an hour or eighteen.-New York

Great Swimming Bath.

The. greatest swimming bath in the
world is situated four miles from Helena,
Mont. The building is about $50 feet long
by $50 feet wide, with a roof 100 feet high,
supported by buttresses in a single span.
The tank is 800 by 100 feet, at one end
about four feet deep, running to ten OF
more at the other. Natural hot and cold
water pours over the huge precipice OF
cyclopean masses of granite at one end,
about fifty feet wide and forty feet high.
Tine precipice is pierced by three large
openings. over which the water pours in
great sheets and is so artistically erected
that one would easily believe it to be a
series of natural falls. The flow is Sc
large that the tank is r~eplenished several
times a day. The temperature is about SO
dogs. A swim in it's deep waters is very
fine. The whole is lighted by day through
great areas of cathedral glass in different
tints, terra Gotta predominating. The
tank house is Illuminated at night by in,
candescent lights.-COr. Chicago Tribune.

said: when you are sending l tingle all

Some fifteen years have passed since then,

Ibegan by eonfessing that I had no theory
or theories TO offer in explanation of the
facts stated above, but I may be permitted
to ask of better informed Psychologists and
psychologists two questions: Is that affinity
which attracts people to Zach other and in
simultaneously makes friends of them, caus-
ing them to thrill with pleasure whenever
their hands clasp and they look each other
in the eye, due in any degree to the pres
ence of an abnormal quantity Of electricity
in their respective bodies? Is it possible
under these circumstances for one indi-
vidual to communicate to another all of
those influences which his presence and
contact with him would inspire, over a
telegraph wire any distance in length, by
means of a key whose handle or knob is
insulated, and while the person absorbing
those mysterious influences is removed
from contact with the wire transmitting
them?
1t is evident to those who have thus far
followed me that /, at least, would answer
the latter in~terrogatory in the affirmative.
To do otherwise would be to doubt the evil
dence of my W senses.

is true, express it in a pleasing manner.
TruthNis the picture, the is the

man blends his angry passions with his
search after truth, become his superior by
suppressing yours, and attend only to the
business and force of his reasoning. Truth,
conveyed in austere and acrimonious lam
guage, seldom has a s~alutary effect, since
we reject the truth because we are preju-
diced against the mode of communication.
The heart must be won before the intel

the acrimony of his manne Whoever

plan is 10 use oil or grease instead OF
soap to prepare the chm and soften the
chin and soften the beard. Vaseline
is the most convenient. and it should
be rubbed in quite freely. Then with a
keen razor shaving can be done quick,
ly and without suspicion of pain

doing without the orthodox lather and

The Republican Campaign Commit.
tee has photographed the empty seats
i on the Democratic side of the House,
with view to using the picture as an
illustration of "the Democratic Idea OF
Doing Business"
The Democratic Committee sh ould
now have printed, to post under these
photographs, Thomas B. Reeds de-
fence Of the refusal of a Republican
minority, IN which he joined, to vote
to make a quorum in the Forty sixth
Congress. Said Mr.. Reed in 1880:
"The privilege, which the (Rspubli-
CAM minority of the House at the last
session ayailed itself of is privilege
which every minority has ayailed it
self of since the foundation of this
Government. 1t is valuable privilege
for the country that the minority sh all
have the right by the extraordinary
mode of proceeding to call the atten-
ton OF the country to measures which
a party in a moment of madness and
of party feeling is endeavoring to ell
force upon the citizens OF this lan6.
And it works equally we'll with regard
to all parties, for all parties have their
times when they need to be checked, 30
that they may receive the opinions of
the people who are their constituents,
and who are inter, sted in the results oil
their legislation"
The Republican minority, ten years
ago, sat silent ard refused to vote, as it
had right to d.. 1t SAID 10 the
Democrats: "lf you wish to pass
partisan mt asures. or to ulseat Repub-
licans, bring your majority here. and
do 1t, but we decline to vote to Civ.
you quorum, and hold ourselves re
spousible to our constituents for our
action Speaker Reeds assertion of
the right TO count members as present
when they d. cline to vote, in the alb
sence of Republican quorum, c,m-
PEELED the Democrats to leave the
Chamber to avoid being made unwill-
ing parties to the stea ing of two seats
on their side of the House.
If the Republican campaign man
ayers think they can make any capital
out OF this incident they will probably
discover their mistake. The fairmind,
ed and sober'thinking voters will agree
with Mr.. Reed that the minority was
justified in using "this extraordinary
mode of proceeding" to 'call the att n
tion of the country to measures which
a party in moment of madness and
party feeling" was engaged in perpe-
trating' There is boomerang quality
