Women Prize Winners.

The place attained by women at the
examinations of the University of Lon
don is regarded with particular pride
by those interested in womans educa-
tional Advancement, for not only are
the tests more severe than those of any
other English examining body, but the
men and women students meet on an
equal footing, and prizes are offered
for their competition without favor on
either side. At the summer examina.
tons the women students fairly held
their own, although the distinctions be-
tween the subjects of study affected by
men and women are strongly marked
In Latin but one ,womans name APP
pears, and that in the second class
while in English three out of four stu
dents who take honors are women. In
mathematics, too, one woman figures
alone, Gerton student, who has OBJ
tanned first-class honors. Altogether
the Homeric list is creditable record
for women.

out an appliance for keeping them from

ented new and improved means for

Miss HELEN SMITH, who edited the

procuring an interview with Mr.. Blaine.
DR. AMY KIMBALL, of Jackson, Mich,

city. She is consulted by all the lead
ing masculine physicians, and is much
beloved by her townspeople.
Mrs. BLOOMINGTON, of Jackson,

thousand dollars, just as if she weren't

A LITERARY FAMILY.
The Ability of Marion Harland and Hell
Talented Children.

The Ability of Marion Harland and Her
Talented Children.
Mrs. Christine Terhune Herrick, the
talented daughter of Marion Harland,
is wonderfully like her gifted mother
In appearance there is marked re-
semblance, and the photographs which
are taken of Mrs. Herrick might easily
be mistaken for those of her mother.
Marion Harland is remarkably young
woman for one who has grandchildren,
and Mrs. Herrick has manner which
makes her seem more mature than her
years Although for several years a
wife and mother she is still very
young woman, and during her brief
literary career has made fine reputa-
ton for herself. Mrs Herrick's style
is entirely different from her mothers,
but it is just as catchy and just as read
able and popular. To an interviewer
Marion Harland once said that the joy
which she experienced when first see
ing her daughters writing and her own
in the same publication far surpassed
the pleasure which she felt upon see
ing her own work in print when she
began writing many years ago. To
this pleasure Marion Harland can also
add the pride of having a son who
writes we'll, son-in-law who has a
recognized place in newspaper work,
another daughter who is gifted in ex-
preston and husband whose ability
as a preacher and writer is too well
known for comment. Chicago Post.

interest, and in investing them with po-
tent philosophical significance she be-
comes as truly an interpreter as any
poet
A slender, dark-eyed, dark haired
woman with a genial smile, Miss Welch
possesses in a marked degree pleasing
and winning presence. Being lineal
descendant of John Alden and Priscilla
as there is much in the run of the
biood-it is quite natural that she
should have devoted her leisure to in
vestigating the history with which her
distinguished ancestors were so init
mately connected.
Miss Welch was connected with the
editorial staff of the Buffalo Courier for
ten years, and it was during that time
that, as a matter of inclination, she de-
voted her leisure to the study of Ameri-
can history. The Jealous interest which
was developed by her study led her to
discuss the subject with her friends,
who soon began to share her enthusiasm
and to urge her to give regular infor-
NAL talks in her mothers parlor. Soon
the fame of these talks reached Chau-
tauqua, and Miss Welch was invited to
speak there. She was received with
enthusiasm, and now has charge of the
department of American history in the
Chautauqua extension course.
Miss Welch holds that women will be
especially benefited by the study OF
American history, and quoting James
Bryce as saying that no country owes
so much to it's women as does America,
or owes them so much in the beliefs
that govern conduct, she adds that
America will owe a great deal more TIC
it's women when they have mastered
American history. Chicago Post.

Canning Industry Booming.

In the wake of the free trade asser-
tions of last year, when assertions were
depended upon to carry the elections
against facts, that our canning industry
would be greatly injured by the new
tariff, comes the acknowledged fact
that the amount of canned and pre-
served fruits put up this season has been
phenomenal. The bountiful fruit crop
was supplemented by cheap Mckinley
sugar, cheaper tin cans than last year,
and a liberal drawback provision for
export.
1t is remarkable that the particular
items of the Mckinley tariff which
were singled out for attack by the free
traders are exactly the ones which fur
nished results most opposed to their
enemies predictions Thus doth the
Mckinley tariff indicate itself

n THE ACTION OF ALCOHOL.
First Comes Exultation Then Dizziness
and Despair.

Although the effects of alcohol are
familiar, it is well to recall them when
we would me asure the strength of the
tendency of excessive indulgence to be-
come habit The action of this
stimulant on the average human being
is first to fill him with serene and de-
lightful self-complacency. His feelings
and his faculties are for the moment
exalted into state of great activity
and buoyancy, so that his language be-
comes enthusiastic and his converse
ton vivacious if not brilliant Grad
ually, however, if the indulgence be
continued, the senses become dulled, a
soft humming seems to fill the pauses
of the conversation and TO modify the
tones of the speaker, a filmy haze OBJ
scures the vision, the head seems
lighter than usual, and the equilibrium
is disturbed. By and by objects ap-
pear double, or fit confusedly before
the eyes; the exercise of Judgment
is suspended, the power of reticence is
annihilated, and the victim of drink
throws forth all that is within him in
unrestrained communicativeness; he
becomes boisterous, ridiculous, and
sinks at length into mere animal.
Every person and everything around
him, the houses, trees, even the earth
itself, seem drunken and unstable,
sober, till at last the final stage is
reached, and he falls on the ground in
sensible-dead drunk. as it is called
an apoplectic state from which, after
| profound slumber, he at last energies
exhausted, feverish, sick and giddy,
with ringing ears and a violent head
ache.
1t has been discovered that the toxic
action of alcohol in large doses primar-
| ily affects the cerebro lobes, after
which the other parts of the cerebro-
| spinal system are consecutively in

ed; the paralysis of these, as of the
other sections of the cerebro-spina
system, varies in its incompleteness
and at times becomes complete, the
coma Of drunkenness terminating in
death. More usually the intoxicant is

BY HUGH N. CAMP.

Because, having studied the effect OF
protection, find that it has been main
ly instrumental in making my own
land the best land under the sun to live
in.
Because it has and does enable US to

bone and sinew of our land, the largest
wages and enables them to feed, to
clothe, to educate themselves and their
families better than those of any other
land.
Because all the rest of the world
wants our trade, and is mad that we
will not ''cut off our tails" to enable
them to work for us, instead of our own
citizens.
Because it has enabled us to build ur

CLEANED HERE AND THERE.

IT is estimated that the intoxicating
liquor used annually in the United
States would fill channel four feet
dred and twenty miles long
WE have great horror of arsenic,
and fifty other things; the fact is, all
these things are mere bagatelle in re.
lation to the most direct, absolute, i'm.
mediate and certain poisonings which
are caused by alcohol.
Why do bartenders seek to shield
their patrons from the public gaze, by
erecting screens, and why do rum
drinkers shelter themselves behind
such barriers? 1t is not for privacy's
sake alone, because if such were the
the case the same seclusion would be
required at the soda-water fountain.
ALL but nine states out of the forty.
four in the United States now make
scientific temperance education compul-
sorry in their common schools. There
are between twelve and thirteen mil
lion children in America of whom the
law says that they shall be taught the
truth against strong drink and kindred
narcotics. In the majority of these
states no teacher who has not passed a
satisfactory examination in the subject
is granted certificate or authorized to
teach.
THE beer-drinking capacity of some
men seems almost beyond comprehen-
sion. The New York World has been
! investigating the subject, and says: Men
who work in breweries are credited
with being the largest daily consumers
of beer. At Everard's from fifteen to
eighteen quarters are drank every day
by the employees, but "Joe, who stands
behind the free bar, said that thirty or
forty glasses was good Individual
average One man said he thought he
could drink one hundred glasses day
if there were anything in it, but he
didn't believe his ordinary consump-
ton was over seventy-tive glasses.

RUM IN SWITZERLAND.
Efforts OF the Government to Mitigate the
Drink Evil.

Drink Evil.
1t is always interesting to note the
progress of experiments in mitigation
of the drink evil. The lamentable re.
suits following the unrestricted traffic
in Intoxicating drinks are acknowledged
by all, and there is hardly government
in the civilized world which has not
attempted by some means tc remedy or
mitigate them. in 1887 intemperancs
in Switzerland had reached the magni.
tude of national evil, and the govern
ment had created monopoly OF the
liqu or business with a view to its miti-
CATION.
The results of this action are now for
the first time given publicity in an
official report to the British govern
ment by her majesty's consul at Switz-
erland. Three things were aimed az
by the Swiss federal legislation of
1887. The first, to provide additional
revenue for the Swiss government; sec
ond, to diminish the consumption of
alcoholic liquors. and third, to insure
that whatever liquors were sold within
the country should be absolutely free
from any adulteration
All three of these objects have been
accomplished, and the consul sums up
the general results in these words:
"The success of the alcohol monopoly
may now be said to be fairly estab-
lished. 1t has done its best to insure
the purity of the spirit consumed
throughout the country; it has dimin-
ished the consumption in remarkable
degree, and it distributes yearly
among the cantons a sum which is al
ready very considerable and which will
increase"
There is temperance feature in the
Swiss law which must not be over
looked. 1t provides that one-tenth of
the money which accruoS to the can
tons must be expended IN combating
the causes and effects of drunkenness,
leaving it to the wisdom of their legis-
lative bodies as to the manner in which
this may best be done While one Of
the objects of the legislation was to
produce additional revenue, the most
satisfactory result, to the friends Of
temperance, has been the decrease in
the consumption of liquors. In the
year 1885, the average consumption of
spirits in Switzerland per capita of pop
ulation was 1925 liters, while in 1890,
under little over two years of the
new law, it had been reduced to 8.27
liters. The liter is about "a quarts Of
our measure.
This diminution cannot but be graft.
flying to every friend of the temperance
cause. The creation of government
monopoly has put stop entirely to the
contraband trade in intoXicants which
was carried on before to very great
extent, and the rigid governmental in.
spection has insured the purity of all
liquors sold. These results are GER
tainly important especially when we
rememb Der the condition of Switzerland
few years ago, when tho increase OF
drunkenness was so alarming as to
spur the government, in the face OF
strong opposition, to take hold of the
profile m.-Toledo. Blade.
