police arrested G. G. Rodney on tele-

her eloquent speeches in behalf OF
temperance, had much to do likely
with my persuasion that woman has
a call to the public advocacy of moral

the ability of those addresses, the ef-

The Death-Rate and Intoxicating Ii
UuOrS.


Considerable discussion has taken
place in regard to document publish
ed by the British Medical Association,
relating to the alcoholic habits and
death-rate of different occupations and
classes. The liquor press has taken up
portions of it and made all effort 10
show that the death of drinkers was
not greater than abstainers: They
omit to notice the following, which
will be found among the deductions OF
the Committee of the Association
"On the whole, then, in addition to
the information which we obtain from
these returns as to the alcoholic habits
of the inhabitants Of this country, and
as to the relative alcoholic habits of
different occupations and classes, we
may not unfairly claim to have placed
upon O basis of fact the following con-
clusions: |. That habitual indulgence
in alcoholic liquors beyond the most
moderate amount, has u distinct tell
dency to shorten human life, the aver
age shortening being roughly proper
toned 10 the degree of indulgence.
=. That of men who have passed the
age of twenty-five, the strictly tenn
perate, on the average, live at least ten
years longer than those who become
decidedly iutemperate. We have not,
in these returns, the means of coming
TO any conclusions as to the relative
duration of life of total abstainers and
habitually temperate drinkers Of alco-
holic liquors"
The returns of the United Kingdom
Temperance and General Provident
Institution--a well-known life insur-
snce company Of London-prove con-
ciusively the remarkably greater
length of life among abstainers than
among drinkers who are not drunk
ards. The statistics are spread over
twenty-five years, and afford the best
proof attainable of the marked longey-
ity of abstainers as compared with
moderate drinkers. Drunkards being
excluded altogether, the average for
the whole period in the Temperance
Section were: Expected deaths, 9937
actual deaths, 279S. In the General
Section ; Expected deaths, 6l4i; actu-
al deaths, 1854. BY which it is obser-
we'd that in the General Section, inclu-
ding moderate drinkets, in the TWEEN
ty-two years, there were only 100 less
actual" than "eXpected" deaths; in
the Temperance Section, exclusively
of total abstainers, there were ll35 less
actual" than expected" deaths in q
little more than half the number of
policies. These figures represent facts
of great significance for the individual
citizen as to his personal well-being,
and for the legislator charged with the
duty of making laws for the promo.
ton Of the public welfare.

This is a sign that she was, because

Ripeness In Character.

One mark is beauty. Ripe fruit has
it's own perfect beauty. AS the fruit
ripens, the sun tints it with surpass-
ing loveliness, and the colors deepen
till the beauty of the fruit is equal to
the beauty of the blossom, and in some
RESPECTS superior. There is in ripe
Chr stians the beauty of realised sancti-
tication, which tho word ofGod knows
by the name of "beauty of holiness.
Another mark of ripe fruit is tender.
ness. The young, green fruit is hard
and stoue.like. The mature Christi
an is noted for tenderness of spirit.
Another mark of ripeness is s" eet.
ness. The unripe fruit is sour. AS
we grow in grace we are sure to grow
in charity, sympathy. and love. We
shall, as we ripen in grace, have great.
er sweetness toward our fellow w-Christ-
ians. Bitter spirited may know q, great
deal, but they are immature.
Those who are quick to censnre may
be very acute in judgment, but they
are a. yet immature in heart. know
we who are young beginners in grace
think ourselves qualified to reform the
whole Christian Church. We drag
her before us and condemn her straight
way: but when our virtues become
more tolerant of evil, but we shall be
more tolerant of lnfirmity, more hope
full for the people of God. and certain
ly less arrogant in our critisms.
Another and a very sure mark OF
ripeness is loose hold of earth. Ripe
fruits easily parts from the bough.-

Childran,s "Left-0yPrs."

1T is surprising how much food chill
tren waste at table or between meals.
Children don't always know the ca
paci;v of their own stomachs. They
ask for "second helpings" at meals, or
"a piece' between meals, and when
the coveted morsel is before them the
desire fails after "a few small mouth
fuls. Perhaps it is u piece of toast, an
egg or an apple. Without O thought
those remains are thrown into the
scrap-pail and fresh bread is cnt for
next time, perhaps only to be wasted
in the same way as before.
If economy be an object with the
housewife, let her spend u few min
utes' thought on the children's cleft
overs" Suppose it to be a piece OF
bread and butter, or toast, or an apple.
Carefully cut away the bitten parts
and lay aside Oh clean plate. Next
time the child asks for a piece, give
him what has been saved. When he
sees the pieces has been well cared Tor
he will not refuse it, especially If 1t Is
hunger which prompts the request.
Sometimes an egg is not eaten be-
cause it had not been boiled enough.
Empty it into common cup into
which Il small piece of butter has been
dropped; pepper and salt to taste.
Next meal tim set the cup on the
stove and stir the contents for five or
ten minutes, or until it is scrambled
egg. If not liked eaten in the cup,
spread between slices of thin bread
and butter, press together with the flat
side of II knife, cut across and across,
aud YOU have four neat lite sandwich
es. which few children will refuse.
Cold meat may also be made into az
tractive sandwiches. Cupfuis or half
cupfuIs of milk, put away III cool
place, will be welcomed again with
ioy by the thirsty little one. Always
give each child its own "left-nvers, "
and let it he understood that one child
will never be expected TO cat what
another has LETT.
This way of managing is, after all,
only an old friend with new face.
Our grandmothers did the very same
with our mothers, but the difference
was their "left-overs" hung like a
drawn sword over their heads, and
they were forced to eat, by way or
punishment, the discarded article OF
diet. Under this system it became a
hundred times nauseous than it was at
first. These little economies, practiced
by the careful housewife, will very
materially aid in in creasing the sum
in the purse, which is so often needed
for purchasing things more enduring
than food and drink.-M. ID. PUNISH

The Salvation A rny.

.UT ~.
"Mr. George called upon me the
other day, and was glad to find him
looking So well after his tour around
the world. In talking of the Salvation
Army, he said he had never visited a
town in Australia without finding the
Salvationists established in the midst
of the people; and like everyone else,
from Lord Woiseley downwards, he
is full of admiration for the oganizlng
genius OF the founder OF the Army:
1.-THE social question:" he remarked
emphatically, twill never get itself
solved until it takes up on religious
principles" Mr.. Boolh, by the way,
is a great admirer Of Henry George,
and has lnug been regular subscriber
to his standard newspaper.
How little we know of the best
phases Of the Salvation Army move
meut. That General Booth, its leader,
is all educated and well informed man;
that it has Enterprises in nearly every
civilized country; that intelligent
Church of-Eugland'men have endorsed
its procedure; that it has lS page
illustrated weekly journal in London
with circulation of nearly 100000;
that it has nearly 30 other newspapers
that it. now proposes to go everywhere
and stay; these things we do not con-
slider. 1t is more to be judged by the
men and women of meek mind and
forlorn faces seen struggling about our
streets. or orresorting to absurd measures:
than Methodism is to be judged by its
extravagancies of method.

RepOSe of Manner.

Charles Corson is merry, rollick-
ing young man, who often tries his
good mother by his great carelessness
of behavior. She had often said to
him that she wished he would sit
more quietly, talk in a less noisy fash
ion, and try in every way TO cultivate
repose of manner.
One evening there vas to be room
full of formal company ut the Corsons,
and Mrs. Corson gave her son line up
on line, and precept upon precept.
."Fhere is nothing more elegant in
young man." she concluded, than
perfect repose of manner"
The company came. Charles grew
interested In the conversation, and
quite forgot his good resolution. He
rushed about the rooms, talked very
fast, and ut last, in fetching dish of
ice cream for one of the guests, stum-
bed against his mothers chair and
spilled half of the ice cream down the
folds of her gown.
Then came, with a flash Of sweet
tempered emphasis, words which con-
trasled drolly with the abashed face of
the young man.
"Charles, dear" said Mrs. Corson,
scarcely turning from the friend with
whom sine chanced 10 be talking,
"Charles, dear, wish you would cul-
tivate repose of manner!"
The delicate contrast between the
phase of reproof and the vexatious ac-
ton that evoked it made every one
smile; and Charles smiled, too, as,
begging his mothers pardon, he knelt
down, napkin in hand, to wipe the
ruined folds of silk.

woods That Sink in Water.

There are 413 species of trees found
within the limits of the United States
and territories, sixteen of which, when
perfectly seasoned will sink in water.
The heaviest of these is. the black iron
wood found only in southern Florida,
which is more than 30 per aent, heay-
ier than water. Of the other fifteen,
the best known is the lignum Vita,
and the mangrove. Texas and New
Mexico, lands full of queer creeping,
crawling, walking and inanimate
things, are the homes Of species OF
oak which is about one and one-fourth
times heavier than water, and which,
when green, will sink almost as quick
as bar iron. 1t grows only in noun
tain regions, and has been found west
ward as far the Colorado desert, where
it grows at an elevation of 10000 feet.
All the species heavier tnan water be-
long to tropical Florida, or in the west
and southwest.-Comnlercial Adver-
tiser.

Haven't Any Now.

. Tt seems perfectly reasonable that
God should have given us a glimpse
of the future; for we are constantly
losing some of our friends by death,
and the first thought that comes 10 us
is, "W here have they gomez" When
loved ones are taken from us, Aow
that thought comes up before us! How
we wonder if we will ever see them
again, and where and when it will be!
Then it is that we turn to this blessed
Book: for there is no other book in all
the wcrld that can give us the slight.
est comfort, no other book that can tell
us where the loved ones have gone.
Not long ago I met an old friend,
and as took him by the hand and
asked after his family, the tears came
trickling down his cheeks as he said
81 haven't any now" 49,,
"What!" I said, isyour wife dead?'
eyes, SIR"
"And all your children, too?"
"Yes, all gone" he said, land I am
left here desolate and alone"
Would any one take from that man
the hope that he will meet his dear ones
again? Would any one persuade him
that there is not future where the
lost will be found? No, we need moi
forget our dear loved ones; but we may
cling forever to the enduring hope
that there will be time when we can
meet unfettered, and be blest in thai
land of everlasting suns, where lthe
soul drinks from the living streams Of
love that roll by Gods high THRONE

A Beautiful Incident.

A Short time before his death the
renowned eneine-builder, Corless,
found it necessary to eularge his great
machine shops, and set a squad of
men Mt work to prepare the material
for building.
One morning, after some progress
had been made in the preparation, he
visited the quarry from which the
stone for the foundation was being
taken. While the masons were AZ
ranging TO blast o huge rock, q work!
man, pointing to bird lowering over
a ledge high up in the rock, said:
THAT bird will have to change its
nesting in short order if it wants to
save its neck"
"Are there eggs in the nest?" in
uuired Mr.. Corless, with evident i'll
terest.
"Yss. four little speckled fellows,
over which the mother bird has been
fusslng ever since we began work, !"
replied the man. "The young birds
will soon be peeping through the deli
cate shells"
"Then let the work stop until the
birdlings are ready to fly" was the
great-hearted mans command.
"You are surely not in earnest, eX-
claimed the foreman who was direct
| ing the preparation for blasting.
Il surely am ~ was the quick reply;
81 have no right to break up the home
of even the smallest Of Gods creatures,
and these parent birds have rights
| that am bound to repect."
"You are aware, sir that the work.
ingmen are all on hand, and that every
thing must stop if we carry out your
orders,n urged the man anxiously.
II understand all this. my friend:
vet [ cannot tonscientiously do other
wise than adhere tomy first command.
What right have I to uild up my for
tunes upon the ruins OF even bird S
home?'
"The men will be dissatisfied, sir; they
feel that they have rights, too," retort-
ed the man, dark frown stealing
over his honest face. e.,
II recognize their rights, also, and
their pay shall 60 on just as usual
during these waiting days. Send them
to their homes and let them spend the
time in improving their own homes
and gardens-patches."
The sullen louks that had been gath.
ering on the faces of the men vanished
suddenly at his words, and instead OF
bitter imprecations and muttered cur,
ses, the air was filled with cheers and
henediclions that almost overwhelmed
the modest proprietor. who never
thought of being applauded for simply
obeying the dictates Of his conscience.
All the close of the week four little
birds were seen bobing up and down
in the nest away up in the cliff, but
fully two weeks more passed before
the young fledgelilgs were able to
leave their messy home in the crevice
of the rock. Instead of becoming ir-
ritable at the long delay, the great en-
giue-builder seemed to enjoy the days
Of waiting, and frequently visited the
spot to see how the feathered songsters
were growing. His devotion to the
rights of the little creatures won the
admiration Of, the men, and when.
after three weeks Of rest, the gigantic
business was again set in operation
they all felt constrained to do their
utmost to help repair the loss that their
noble hearted employer had so will
ingly suffered.-Bell V. Chisholm.
