Mr.. Thornton was much delighted,
and the ceremony Of signing the pledge
was performed with alacrity, after
which Blossy and her father started
Eomeward.
"Where can the child be-" said Mrs.
Arnold, coming down from the loft for
the third time in her search for Blossy.
"She's nowhere in the house."
She had got over her cry, and was
preparing what she could for supper
against her husbands return when She
missed the child.
Where can she be?" she repeated,
going to the door, and looking anX'
iously out into the binding storm.
Away across the common she caught
sight of her husband, with little fig
ure at his side. 1t was Blossy, her lit.

WOMEN AND THE FAIR.
What They Are Doing Towar:: Great
Exhibition of Their Achievements.

What They Are Doing TOwar:: Great
Exhibition of Their Achievements.
Ever since special women's depart
ment was made feature of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition the women of
America and the world have been on
their mettle. What was at first decided
piece of folly by some croakers, and
useless innovation by others, has even
at this early date amply justified its ex-
istence. Never before has emancipated
woman had such an opportunity for
displaying to the world her special
achievements. From the old world
came gratifying assurances that won.
ems cooperation in this worlds fair
will be on scale little less generous
than in the United States. Mrs. Palm
er's labors in Europe have laid the
foundation of a network of women's
organizations in every civilized country
with the special object of cooperation
in the women's display at the fair. In
England several royal personages have
given aid to the movement in behalf of
the women's display, and the value Of
such cooperation can best be estimated
by reflection that no English commits
sion is properly introduced to public no
tice without the sanction of royalty.
In France Mrs Palmer's work of or
ganization has been enthusiastically
aided by President and Nine. Carnot.
From Austria, Germany, and even
from Turkey, come assurance that the
special women's department at the fair
will receive the support and co-opera-
ton of the leading women in these
countries. On this continent the work
already accomplished places the wom-
ems department in the van of progress
as regards preparations for the fair
State after state has fallen into line by
placing women on the state commits
sions and frequently on the executive
boards. Illinois has led all the others
in the matter of special appropriation
for the women's department, and by
such action has given powerful slim
illus to the movement. From Canada,
Mexico and South America come the
same assurances that the women OF
those countries will send exhibits and
take active part in the work Of the
womens department The prominence
which woman's work is to receive al
the fair is, of course, partly due to the
fact that it is departure from prece
dent and characteristic of the age. II
no other country than the United States
could such a recognition of woman'
capacity to manage a great exhibi
have been possible. Where Americ'
leads the world follows, and nowhere
will this truism be better illustrated
than in the universal impetus to won
ans freedom as result of her share il
the great exposition. -Chicago News.

FACTS AND FINDINGS.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, has 1900 saloons,
in which it is estimated that S22. 500 is
expended by their patrons every day.
THERE never was a saloon that was
as brilliant as the home of happy
family, however humble or however
imperfectly lighted.-Western Rural.
A TEMPERANCE union of one hundred
and eighty-five members exists in the
military prison of Fort Leavenworth,
Kan. The union was organized by Mrs.
Julia A. Chase, and is auxiliary to the
state W. C. I. U.
The price of alcoholic drinks has
risen very high in the government of
Kharkov. The authorities have issued
orders to stop the distilling of brandy
altogether until the autumn, and the
export of spirituous liquors from Khar-
kov to other governments of the EN-.
pire.
THE society for the abolition Of strong
drink in Holland certifes that in pop
ulation of $780, 900, there are $4,000
licenses for the sale of liquor annually
granted. Computing two-thirds of the
total population to be women and chill
bred, there is saloon to every thirty
three men; woeful condition.
WINE drinking is the mother OF all
mischief, 'the root of all crimes, the
spring of vices, the whirlwind of the
| brain, the overthrow of the sense, the
tempest of the tongue, the ruin of the
body, the shame of life, the stain OF
honesty, and the plague and corrup'
ton of the soul Southern Star.
DR.. GRosvENoR, of the Buffalo Medi
cal Journal, says that grave RESPONSE
bility rests upon the medical profession
| in the use of alcohol as q medicine, on
account of its deleterious influence
upon the system, and the liability OF
the patient to contract the habit Of
using it as beverage. He also states
that alcohol is neither tissue-forming
nor heat-producing substance and as
a narcotic and anesthetic is much less
valuable than several others.
SOME recent statistics show that very
rapid increase is being made in vins
culture in this country. There are now
under vine culture in America 40oy00I
acres, of which about $780, 900 acres arr

vineyards and wine cellars is Sl55, 900

The Strength of Hone.

Faith is the granite upon which hope
plants her feet and the wing upon which
she takes her fight. The man who
hoped he was saved, who said: "Iknow
l am not what l ought to be, but God
is good, and hope ! shall get through
the gates" was trusting in shadow; it
was not saving faith. His hope were
all bubbles, not worth as much as soap
bubbles Faith puts backbone into a
mans hopes and makes them realities.

IT is the deliberate Judgment of Miss
Mary F. Seymour, who employs num-
bers of women, that there is work
enough in the world for all the persons
who know how to 10 it well, and that
in some measure the scarcity of work
that is so much talked of is most felt
by those who can not do what they pre-
tend they nyor wish they could
