.DO l Look Like q IadJf"

About thirty years ago a young girl
n q western city was given charge of
1 Sunday school class OF rough boys,
Usually known as river rats" who
lad never been in any school house
oeTCre. When she entered the room
she found them lounging on the desks
md benches, wearing their hats,
ouffing vile cigars, a defiant leer on
very face. They greeted her with a
oud laugh, and one of them ex-
:laimed:
We'll, sis, you goin' to teach us?"
She stood silent until the laugh
vas over. and then said, quietly:
do look like lady?"
An astonished stare was the only re-
ply which they gave.
Because" she continued gently,
gentlemen, when a lady enters the
'oom, take off their hats and throw
iway their cigars"
The lowest American secretly be-
ieves himself to be a gentleman, and
n moment every hat was off and the
ads were ranged in orderly attention.
So remarkable was the success of
his girl in managing and influencing
men OF the toughest sort that she made
{ the work Of her life, says the Youths
Companion. She established clean
md respectible boarding houses for
sailors and boatmen, and reading and
,offee-rOoms for laborers, and founded
IN Order OF Honor, the members of
which strove to live sober christia
ives themselves and to help their fel-
ows to do the same.

Has Temperance Beer Been Found.

Is it found? What? Why, the
much-prayed-fo beverage which tee
totallers can drink without spelling
their digestion or running their morals.
The lack of a decent temperance
drink is the greatest drawback to the
temperance reformation. Tea, no
doubt, is an invaluable substitute for
beer, and many of us cannot under
stand how our ancestors lived before it
was invented" But tea cannot be
brewed at a moments notice, and a
thirsty man in the middle of the day
is driven to ordinary drinking water,
ginger-beGr, or lemonade.
The ideal temperance drink must be
bright, sparkling, tasty, and with some
body and substance in it. The manag-
ing director came down to our office
the other day carrying with him two
bottles of beverage which seemed to
comply with all these indispensable
conditions. Riley's Temperance Hop
Ale is the somewhat forbidding title
of the new drink, and our visitor
waxed eloquent as he descanted upon
its virtues. On the principle, however,
that the proof of the pudding is in the
tasting of it, nothing he could say was
half as eloquent as the beer itself. If
you drank it without being told what
it was you might very easily mistake
it for the genuine beer. You would
only find out your mistake when, after
drinking a considerable number of
glasses you found you were "no for
rarder!" and no nearer the point of
intoxication than when you began.
Our representative heard very in
teresting account of the way in which
the invention came into his hands. The
credit of the discovery really belongs
to an ex-private in the Guards, who
after he left the service had for some
time charge of a temperance coffee
house. Seeing how much a temper
ance drink was required, he gave his
whole attention. to manufacturing one,
and after three years studying dis
covered the secret of manufacturing
beer without alcohol, thus producing
the beverage he now sells.
Although it is but of yesterday the
demand for the new beverage is spread
ing, and it is said to have been greatly
in vogue at the stores (where they are
not allowed to sell genuine ale), where

"Because he's a tramp. My orders

the forlong-loolklng stranger two crisp
$40 bills, and then turned TO the officer
with:
"NOw, let him alone. A man with

L may be worth while to describe

on their hands. By preference they

This pen is called a kalemdan and is
Kept in an oblong box called kalem-
Ian. This case is made of brass or of
papier-mache, which is often most ex-
luisitely decorated with,,hand-painting.
The age OF a kalemdan can be in
variably told by the costume OF the
figures painted upon it. In one end of
the slide OF the kalemdan is the ink

mixed with silk. The paper is g'ossy

Frank Richmond, the "orator" oi
Buffalo Bills show, whose death at
Barcelona was announced day or two
ago. not only astonished Paris with his
wonderful voice, but made good many
thousand people think that he was u
Frenchman born and bred. This in
spite of the fact that less than a year
ago he knew not one word of the
French language He arrived in Paris
last spring several weeks in advance
of the date when the show opened. He
went to work at once with a teacher.
Instead of pursuing the ordin airy
course, he wrote out his speech in Eng
glish. the teacher translated it into
French. and Richmond committed it to
memory, reciting it daily several ii mes
to the teacher in order to master the
pronunciation. When he had the speech
at command he began to study French
in the usual way.

AL dyspeptics should avoid anything
which they mot others) cannot digest
There are so many causes for and
forms of dyspepsia that it is impossible
to perscribe one and the same diet for
all Nothing is more disagreeable or
useless than TO be cautioned against
eating this and that, because your
neighbor ''so-and-son cannot eat such
things. II we would all study the na-
ture and digestion OF food and remem-
Der that air and exercise are as essen
tial as food in promoting good health,
we could easily decide upon the diet
pest suited to our individual needs.
The diabetic should abstain from sugar
and anything that is converted into
sugar in digestion, such as all starchy
foods, sweet omclets, custards, jellies,
sweet sauces, starchy nuts, wine and
liquors.
The corpulent should abstain from
fat as well as sugar and starch. A
iiet of whole wheat, milk, vegetables,
-uit5 and lean meat will produce only
1 normal amount of fatness, while an
excess of acids, sweets, spices, and
shortening keeps the system in an un-
healthful condition. Those who can
iigest fine flour. pastry, sugar and
tats become loaded with fat, but are
neither strong nor vigorous.
Thin people with weak digestion
Ihould also avoid such food; for thin
oeople are often kept thin by the same
iood which makes others fat. II they
sannot digest the starch, butter and
hne -four, the system is kept in few
erisn, dyspeptic state; they become
nervous or go into consumption for no
,ther reason than that the life is
burned out by diet which only feeds
the fire and does not renew the tissues.
