A Master Of Tongues.

One of the finest inguists in the coun-;
try is the flfteen-year-old son of Msx
Dieulafait, Baltimore, Md, whose pow
ers are described by the papers of that
city. The boy is very intelligent lad,
with mania for acquiring Languages
and now speaks eleven, including Eng-
lish. His parents are Of French and
German birth, so that Henri has spoksn
the native tongue of both since chil6.S
Latin and Greek he learned at school,,
while an intimate friend, an Italian,
taught him that language. Visiting the
Indian Territory for the restoration ok
his health, after a severe illnessa h61
learned to speak Choctaw and Cherokee.
Spanish was taught him by tutor and
Portuguese by sailor employed as q SER
want at one time by his father, while
from Polish music teacher he acquired,
Russian. Young Dieulafait claims that
it is no trouble for him to master 8
tongue and that'it has never taken more,
than three months for him to acquire any
of those he speaks so fuently. His pa
rents, who are very proud of his attain
ments, propose sending him on an extern
sive tour through the civilized world that
he may further crafty his linguistic
tastes. The boy is modest, well.be-
haved lad, inclined to be studious, but
exhibiting fine business talents and d.
voting only such time to his hobby as hss
would give to any other recreation. -

Luxurious Life In the Army.

Said prominent army officer in tha
Southern Hotel recently to a group of
officers and civilians: sService in tho
army for the private soldier is delight
to what it used to be before the war,
There is not q post, scarcely, in the
country, not accessible by railroad, and
which has nos-a daily mail. The quars-
ters or barracks to which he is now AZ.
signed are simply palatial. At Fort Rilegf
for instance, the mems barracks ana!
splendidly arranged aud handsomely fmA
nished. Each company quarters is fur
nished with a library, billiard room,
gymnasium marble tub bath rooms; the.
SQUAD rooms or doruitories are nicely:
furnished with iron bedsteads, and tha
walls are hung with pictures about army
life on the march or in battle. The mesa
hall at Fort Riley seats 1000 men at each
meal. The chef de cuisine is civilian
salaried at $3.50 month. A mess hall
of like capacity is to be built at Fort
Leavenworth, and the posts, Fort Sheri-s
dan at Chicago and Fort Logan, near
Denver, are being built with every ccnt
venicnce. Jefferson barracks, near this
city, also is to be put in thorough repair

Hunting the Kangaroo.

Away the quarry goes, propelled III
his great muscular tail, in q series ef
enormous leaps, and on his track two oe:
three dogs of breed known as kangaroo
hounds, half greyhound and half wolf
hound, and after them the riders. II hsI
can be run down on the sand plain hia
doom is certain, but if he can get intUi
the bush, where the trees are thick and
many fallen trunks, or an extent Of rocky
ground will delay his pursuers, he may;
escape. His bounds are wonderful; MOI
impediment can stop him. But the dogs
and horses that are after him are nearly
as we'll accustomed to the bush as he ID,
and can last longer. .s
They are gaining on him now. His
game is up. As he feels the hopelessness
of his escape he suddenly stops ands
stands at bay, with his back against q
tree. Now he is a most formidable foes
for the hounds, which try to seize him
by the throat. With the great nail with
which his middle toe is furnished he rips
their bodies down, and they fall help
less by his side. But just as he seems in
fair way to demolish the last Of thssa
enemies, up ride the huntsmen, and his
6ne run and noble fight are ignominious-
ly rewarded by the dashing out Of his

UTILIZING COLD MEATS.

A serious question with every house
keeperis is how to utilize cold meat. The
clearinghouse methods of preparing
hash and stew have brought these dishes
into dispute. The French have taught
us that there is much in the name, es-
pecially in the culinary department. Do
not provide stew for dinner, have ra-
gout; the name will predispose the fam
lily in favor of the dish. The name,
however, is not sufficient; the ragout
must be properly prepared. Cut pint
of cold meat into half-irch dice, remove
the fat, bone and gristle. Put the meat
into the saucepan, cover with cold water,
and allow it to simmer slowly for two or
three hours, or until tender; add nalf a
can of mushrooms, cut fine, and two
tablespoonfuls of wine; season with salt
and pepper, thicken with tablespoonful
of -four moistened with little cold
water, cook for about ten minutes, and
serve on platter with border of mashed
potato or boiled rice.-Nep York World.

ALCOHOL pEApENs THE CONSCIENCE.

Tolstoi, the Russian novelist in Content-
porury Repiev. writes: People explain
their use Of stimulants and narcotics. such as
brandy, wine, beer, tobacco, hashish,
opium, morphia, ether, etc., by saying III Is
pleasant: every one drinks; it keeps up the
spirits:' or TO drive away melancholy; the
habit is universal; everybody smokes, ETC..
But it must be very evident that the man
who, placed by circumstances or his own
acts, in position that forces him to choose
between the iufliction Of hardship and misery
upon the family that is dear to him, on the
one hand, and absence from supplying stim-
ulants and narcotics on the other. chooses the
former alternative, is impelled to the choice
by something far more potent than the de-
sire to keep up his spirits. or the speculative
consideration that every one else does tne
same.
"The real reason for the extensive use Of
these stimulants and narcotics is that they
stupefy and deaden the conscience, and con-
ceal from ones self its records.
"A sober man scruples to do that which q
drunken man will execute without hesitation.
People enjoy stimulants and narcotics either
for the purpose Of sitting remorSe after
having performed an action disapproved OF
by their conscience, or else in order to Induce
state of mind in which they shall be capa-
BILE of doing something contrary to the dic'
tates of their conscience, and to Whlch tne
animal nature of man is impelling him.
"a sober man has conscientious scruples
about stealing or committing murder, A
drunken man. on the contrary, is troubled
with no such scruples. Hence it is that If a
person wishes to do something which his
conscience forbids he first stupafes his facul-
ties. The courage inspired by drink is De-
sponsible for nine-tenths Of the total number
Of crimes that stain humanity.
ut is we'll known that alcohol deadens
the voice of conscience, and people delibsr-
ately make use OF it for this purpose"

REcREATIoNs TESTED.

We first catch the notes of the horn. then
the rich swell of the bugle; then. as the

more delicate instruments mingle in with
their harmony, until at length they come
upon us with full burst, in the splendid airs
of Meyerbeer or Beini. The eur feeds on

WORDS OF WISDOM.
Nothing can cost 20 much as sin.

NothlnS can COST 30 much as Sid.
No man has right to be a curse fdt
his neighbor.
No man can live low who Is always
looking high.
People never get the big head because
they know too much.
A lie is one degree worse than the sin
which it tries to conceal.
If there is death in your heart there
will be death in your life.
The evil that is the most dangerous issi
the one that looks most harmless.
Nothing can make us richer except
that which makes us more thankful. i.
A poet is man who lets other peopls
look at things through his spectacles.
The only joys which live and grow
are those which are shared with others.
It is as nruch murder to kill q man
with pill as it is to do it with cannon
ball.
Pull off the masks that people wear
and nobody would know his next door
neighbor.
Spend as much time in counting youE
blessings as you do in worrying Over
your troubles and you will soon be rich.

WHICH SIDE HE IS ON.


Rev. B. F. Mills, the evangelist, who re-
Gently conducted successful revival at
Elgin, ILL.,, took OCCASION at one of his meet
ings to refer to the liquor question as fol-
lows:
would like to give little sermon on tenn
perance, and would like to make it so plain
that everybody could understand. Some
times person will insult me by asking me
which side of the temperance or prohibition
question am on. Which side am l on?
We'll. you 60 to the drunkards and thieves,
and burglars and gamblers, and saloon-keep--
ers and the makers of the accursed stuff, and
find out which side they are on,and then put
me down on the other side. As you go down
to th.t wretcbed hovel, where that poor
woman, worse than widowed, sits with her
worse than orphaned babe at her breast. her
hearts blood dripping away drop by drop,
put your ear down close to her heart, and
hear which side she is on, and then put me
down on her sile. Why is it that these ac-
cursed saloons exist in Elgn to-day? Because
men worship the god that favors hades. Sup
pose a man should come here today and
take one of your farest and brightest
passes over it convert it into an idiot,
the whole community would be
after him. Millions IF dollars would not In
duce you to license him to do such q
thing if he could do it in ten minutes, and
it Is only question of five years, CT possibly
ten .r twenty, and you will allow him to DO
that very thing and for only a patry few
hundred dollars.
Twill say one thing more; if have ever,
since the day gave my heart to God: by
voice or vote. or influence withheld, gwen
the weight Of one finger in support OF the
accursed traffic, should deserve to have my
son fill a drunkard's grave or to give my
daughter into the foul embrace Of one of the
loathsome products ofthe business. Now II
anyone does not understand this let him
now rise UP and say so

MAcARoNI, ITALIAN STYLE

A dish of macaroni served in Italian
style is one of the most delicious we
have. Genuine Italian tomato-sauce
may be purchased Of dealers in Italian
dehcacies. It comes in tiny porcelain
cans, and is made of tomato which is
grown especially for the purpose in
Italy. Boil half a pound OF spaghetti or
small macaroni in abundance Of water
for twenty-five minutes, then pour of the
water, shake the macaroni to make it
perfectly dry, as you would potatoes,
and turn it into a hot dish. Sprinkle
three tablespoonsfuls of grated Parmesan
cheese over it, pour little hot tomato.
sauce over this, and serve the whole
with dish of grated cheese accompany
ing it. Though the genuine tomato.
sauce is believed by Italians to be a
speciality of their country, equally deli
cious sauce is made from small tomato
grown here, which, like the Italian to-
mato used for this purpose, has a large
proportion Of pulp to seed.-Nsu York

POISONED BY GIN.

Anderghem and Boitsford, two small vii
lages near Brussels, were not long ago the
scene Of a remarkable epidemic, which caused
the greatest alarm among the Inhabitants.
Twenty-seven persons, only one OF whom
was a woman, died in twenty-three days.
The victims were all between forty and fifty
years of age. The following were the prin-
cipal symptoms noted: After few days OF
vague illness, the patients were suddenly
seized with acute pain unaccompanied
by diarrhea or vomiting. headache, impair
ment Of vision going on to complete blind
ness. and finally symptoms of passive con-
aestion and asphyxia. In two cases post
mortem examination was made, but threw
no light on the cause or nature of the dis
ease. Besides the twenty-seven fatal cases,
fifteen others occurred, mostly in patients
younger than those who died. The cause OF
the s!epidemic'' was at last traced to gin. All
the patients were known to be drunkards,
and the disease came on as rule from
twelve to twenty-f -four hours after potations
of gin No information is given as to the
composition of the incriminate1 fluid, fur.

nor is it stated that a chemical analysis OF 1t

ceased. d.-British Medical Journal.

RATIONAL LIFE.

There could be no greater privilege than to
have our lives linked with the divine life and
infinite grace of Jesus the Son Of God. What
God calls us to in the Gospel is fellowship
with His Son. Living at lower level than
that of divine communion Is living below our
possibilities and our powers. Life apart from
Christ would be noble and adequate enough
were we creatures of an inferior order, with
out instincts for the holy, the supersensuous.
the eternal, but made for God we need
to live for God to be worthy Of our
selves. lrreligion is thus irrational.
There Is no fitness between our capacities
on the one hand and temporal conditions
and surroundings on the other. 1t is
not until the spiritual element becomes In
us the superior and regulating element that
we live in harmony with the constitution
with which we have come into the world.
We have higher necessities and faculties than
the PHYSICAL and intellectual, and the soul
painting for God Is the soul painting for its
native air.
In the recognition and worship Of the
Eternal the highest elements OF our being
are evoked. It is as we strive to enter In at
the straight gate that the divine within us is
touched into life. Christ was not the first to
link the perfect character and the supreme
destiny with religion and with God. The an.
Glen world had a perception of this truth.
Plato divided human beings into three classes.
He placed the unjust and the dfssolute in the
lowest class, aS deserving to be transforme
after their death into wolves and apes. The
second class was made up Of the moral and
well-behaved, who, while temperate and
upright, lacked the spiritual sense, and
he'd nohommunicatiou with the Eternal;
these he pronounced well qualified for trans
migration into wasps and ants. 1t was only
those belonging to the third class, those who
teMpied their lives with the contemplation
or the Eternal, and departed this world free
from stain of every sort, who were, after
their death, to be admitted among the gods.
Thus was anticipated. as one has remarked
the Christian truth that not mere morality
of conduct but inward and spiritual right
eousness leads to blessedness and fellowship
with the Eternal.-[John Baird.
