They say tho marriage. however, is

WORSE THAN ANY WAR.
The speaker looked upon war as a
dreadful calamity, and yet what were
the ravages of war in comparison to
those of intemperance. Father Mont
gomery thought that in view of the fact
that there is more liquor consumed in
this city in proportion to the population
than in any other city in the country
there must be a corresponding abuse.
There is no State in the Union where
more taxes are paid to support the VIC
TINS OF lntemperance than in California.
he exhorted his hearers not only to en-
courage their boys by good example, but
to keep the promise they had made and
also to teach them the effects of alcohol
on the human system. Its use leads to
its abuse, and the only infallible proven
ton is total abstinence.
He called on his hearers to study the
question as never before, in the light of
reason and experience, and place them
selves In the ranks of earnest workers
for the cause of temperance. "Let us
take, he said, "the young and plastic
mind, where habits have been formed
neither good nor bad, and develop in
them that higher principle whose fruits
are Joy, peace and patience. rs. F.

Bob Owens bull was the property Of a rail-
road president, says the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat, and occupies a conspicuous place in
railroad history. Marion Sheridan Knowles,
of the Savannah, Florida and Western road,
enjoyed a personal acquaintance with the
leading characters in this bit of railroad his
tory, and says she knew the bull by sight.n
He describes the animal as a magnificent
specimen of the Durham breed, with Jovian
crest, an eye of fire and bright scarlet nos
trils He was a bull with a fairly good opin-
ion of himself, and he didn't care much who
knew it. Bob Owens, president of the Nor
fold aud Western road, running between
Bristol, in West Virginia, and Norfolk, Va,
bought him in England and installed him as
master of the herd on a very fine farm which
he owned directly on the line of the road
One of the characters on the Norfolk and
Western was an engineer by the name of ALI
Whalen, an excellent man in his business,
and with national reputation for nerve and
GOODNESS. One bright day, when Whalen was
running freight train down the side of the
mountain at the base of which is situated
Owens stock farm, he was a trihe discon-
certed to see in the center of the track, di-
rectly ahead of him, the famous Durham bull,
with his tail standing straight up, head
erect, and paving the ground savagely. The
train was running at an unusually rapid
rate, but Whalen pulled the throttle open,
and the engine bounded ahead for all there
was in her. The bull was hit fairly and lift
ed over the mountain side in a twinkling.
The station agent at the farm, when VIVA
len told him what had happened, telegraphed
President Owens the facts. Whalen pulled
into the depot at Norfolk two hours later and
was met by Owens Old Bob was wild with
rage. He spoke with difficulty.
"Well, said he, you played-p
"How-how-what do you meanT asked
poor Whalen
"Killed my bull, did you, ehl"
"Well, now, see here, Mr. Owens, if you
wanted that bull to run on this road you
should have put him on the schedule. You
see, he was running ON my time. The track
and right of way belonged to me, and just
took it,

A LEGEND.

There has come 10 my mind legend q thing
had half forgot
And whether read it or dreamed it, ah well, IL
matters not.
1t is said that in heaven at twilight great bal
softly swings,
And man may listen and hearken to the wonder
full music that rings.
If he puts from his hearts inner chamber all the
passion, pain and strife
Heartache, and weary longing that throb in the
pulses of life
II he thrust from his soul all hatred, all thoughts
of wicked things
He can hear in the holy twilight how the bell Of
the angels rings.
and think there is in this legend if we open
our eyes TO see.
Somewhat of an inner meaning, my friend, 70 you
and me-
Let us look in our hearts and question, Can pure
thoughts enter in
To soul il it be already the dwelling Of thoughts
of sin?
So then let us ponder little; let us look in our
hearts and see
If the twilight bells Of the angels could ring for
us-you and me.

If you want advice from me you will
have to take it as a cosmetic advice, for
| object to sailing under doubtful colors.
AS to good cosmetic practice in steaming
the face DO not allow the steam to be too
hot. You can actually parboil the it's
sues with steam much below the boiling
point.
The moisture gives the benefit, not the
extreme heat, which should only be APP
piled for few minutes and the face al
lowed to cool gradually after it, A tin
pail or pan, holding two quarts of water,
boiling when put in and suffered to cool,
will temper the face by its cooling.
A teaspoonful of eucalyptus oil, thy
mol, oil Of red cedar. rosemary or laven-
der added to the water makes the process
pleasauter and improves it both for face
and lungs, and especially benefits the
eyes.
Throw thick towel or flannel over
your head, and steam the face over the
pan ten to fifteen minutes, having first
washed the skin with warm water and
soap. AS to the injunction so insisted
upon by masseurs and others, there is
always the risk of nourishing the hair
bulbs of the skin as well as the skin
itself.
The dry air of our climate and our
houses tends to make the skin of the
face susceptible TO the hair producing
quality of most fats and oils, so that it
is safe to Danish these from face treat
ment wholly.
Hot milk is a safe, nourishing lotion
for the skin to restore its plumpness,
laying linen wet in it on the cheeks for
minutes after massage, not before. Milk
whey, sweet or acid, is a famous lotion
for giving softness and clearness to the
skin, and the bellies of Paris dote on
their baths of whey for repairing the
ravages of dissipation. Saponifed creams
of the mildest sort are well applied be-
fore and after steaming. The French
use these soap creams for more than we
do-for all toilet purposes.
To finish the steaming sensibly don't
dash cold water on your heated face,
but wash it in tepid water, wipe with
warm towel, and do not expose it to
cool air until the sensitive, burning SEN
sation passes off.
Young women may play pranks with
their circulation and compilations, but
women of the age, when they begin to
take serious care of their looks, need the
warm, dry towel rather than the cold
douche. Faces are not to be scrubbed
and hardly treated in any way if you
would have fine skin, as well as
plump one and good color.-Shirley
Dare's Letter.

Elizabeth Glover, in her book, Fam
lily Manners" devotes a chapter to de-
ploring the New England habit of re-
pressing ones feelings on the matters
nearest at heart, and never allowing
them to find expression in words. She
says:
There was a railroad accident, and a
poor farmers wife was taken out, bleed
ing and unconscious. The doctor and
kind woman were working over her
when her husband came in and stood
moment, looking on in disturbed silence
His cheeks were drawn in, his eyebrows
lifted, his hands in his pockets.
Presently, with some effort, he cleared
his throat to speak, and as the doctor
looked up he asked, ''Ye didn't see new
tin dipper lynn round where We picked
her up, did ye?"
He got no answer from the indignant
doctor, and presently strayed out again
in search of his dipper.
Meanwhile his wife opened her eyes
and at once asked for her husband.
Hes safe, said the doctor shortly. She
felt his curt tone, and faint as she was
she OWNED what it meant. He's a
dreadful feelin' man." she said, ''but he
don't never say much"
