Miss Stella Hays, who is rapidly gaining
distinction as one of the most delightful of
the younger lostesses, made an exceedingly
felicitious choice of flowers for the dinner
she gave on Tuesday for Miss Julia Watson.
The table was decorated solely with green
orchids, which were also used for the
boutonnieres and corsage punches. The
orchid has a tint not unlike a bronze green,
and tine ribbon used matched the flowers
perfectly.

Arab Wrestlers.

There was fine exhibition of strength
of the Arabs at wrestling match in a
valley around which the mountains rose
gradually, forming a natural amphithca-
ter, says a recent writer. Here a large
audience sat on the rocks overlooking
the space below. The rival tribes were
seated at each end of the valley, while
their chiefs walked proudly up and down
in front of them. Then one of the
chiefs would call out champion and
challenge a rival The two would throw
off their coaks and rush at each other,
and wrestle until one would get his head
under the body of the other, and with
great force, throw his adversary in the
air over his back. Sometimes after a
desperate struggle the chiefs would have
to separate them; they being equal
neither one being able to throw the
other.

Birth Of Icebergs.

While encamped near the Muir Glacier
for seven weeks of last summer, Mr.. II.
B. Loomis and Professor Muir watched
the formation of icebergs. The drop
ping of the blocks from the terminal
wall occurred at very irregular intervals
of five minutes to an hour, the fall of no
less than 1919 having been heard one day
in twelve hours. At times, especially in
heavy rains, the reports sounded in camp
at distance of mile, like those of a
thunder storm or cannonade. Some
times the detached block bursts into
fragments and falls like a cascade. AT
another time block sinks unbroken
into the water, rises, perhaps $50 feet,
even with the top of the glacier, then
topples over on its side with heavy roar,
throwing spray in all directions and
wallows among the other icebergs like {
gigantic animal.

HOW TO PROMOTE TEMPERANCE.

Edward Everett Hale says in the Cosnac-
aooLitdY Maqdzi,e: once asked the chief of
a great temperance home how one could
work to destroy the craving for liquor. he
looked at me with some surprise that man
in my profession should ask such question,
and said at once: mo man ever becomes
temperate himself unless he tries to make
some one else temperate" In a fashion
had know this, as every preacher OF chris
tianity must know it; 1t is doctrine lald
down in the osTes in hundred forms, Dut
I had never used it as a working formula nor
had | recommended it to other people as
have done since. Let me say this to any per-
son trying to reform a relative or TREND
You must introduce this desire to help for
ward somebody else or your work Will not
stand long. Your protege need not speak at
temperance meetings if he does not want to,
but do you take care that he is doing some
thing in the general canse of purity-that he
is thinking of some one besides himself. We
do not attain purity by thinking of impur-
ity. We do not attain to temperance by
thinking of intemparance. Give him high
motive and you have SO far lifted him from
the plane on which he slipped and fell. An
old and wise friend, who is still living under
the not cold shadow of four score and ten,
intoxicating practical morals, said to me
once: "You are interestei in temperance; l.
will tell YOU how to save men from drunken.
ness And when eagerly asked the secret,
he replied by saying: Make them plant
trees, make them plant trees? So soon as
they are interested in the growth OF any
thing else they will be led outside them
selves, and they will not have time to be
drunkr Ishould be afraid to trust to this
instruction if had a man returned to me
from the House of Correction after his tenth
confinement for the tenth spree which had
commanded the attention of the police, but
it involves an element which ought to be
more considered than it seems to be general
ly. You want to change the manner of life
of your patient as largely as you can,
especially you want to take him into the open
air if you can. The army in the Civil War
was, for the private, school of temperance.
I think most officers will agree with nee In
this For officers it was often, alas! school
of drunkenness, because they could order for
their own use liquors which their men could
not use. Butunder the absolute prohibition
which existed when an army was far from
any ''civilized post" and in the freedom and
freshness of the open air life, many man
learned practically a lesson which, before, he
had no opportunity to try. If l were the
dictator of this Nation there should be beef
tea or some stimulant of equal value and
innocence, at the door of every. factory
where hard work is done, that man or woman
might drink cup as he goes out from Work
before he could refresh himself elsewhere.
You overcome evil by putting in good You
keep the devils out of the house by introduce
ing angels And the person who is thor
oughly well fed escapes one of the most terri
BILE temptations as it comes upon the person
who is hungry.
