Many Beautiful Women.

The women Of Aries. France, are re-
nowncd for their beauty, which is Of a
peculiar type. 1t IS a remarkable proof
of the isolation Of each little commun-

ii would like to have this ring cut
down to suit my finger" said the hand
some heart smasher, as she fourished
the brilliant ring before the eyes Of the
ieweler
The jeweler took the ring and smiled
he had seen it before.
IL can fix that in minute" replied
he. Screwing magnifying glass in his
eye. and taking small sharp pointed
instrument in his hand, he touched a
minute button on the inside of the ring
and made it the exact size, saying, as be
placed it on her finger "You see these
rings are made in this manner for the
reason that they are worn by so many
different people It is a great cOnven-
fence"
The young lady sailed ont of the store

PURITY.

Like shy. startled thing she stood
In the wild tangle of the wood;
Her violet eyes IN sweet surprise
Seemed some fair shadowing Of the skies;
In her white hands some bluebells spent
Their dying breath IN soft content;
Her parted lips their white pearls showing,
Her cheeks like rose hues paling. glowing,
And all her childlike innocence
Guide. guard. protector and defense.
What startled her 2 A heavy tread
Through the dim aisles, crched overhead
BY sunlccbed leaves and vibrant boughs.
And what OF heaven such shade allows.
All day sweet sounds had been astir
The soft, far reaching orchestra
OF birds, bees whispering Withstand over
The nearer fields of grass and clover
Came tinkling COW bells sitting through,
AS violets tint the dusk and dew
A tramp comes on the pine leaves sweet
Shudder beneath his naked feet;
He stops wild, hungry, outlawed, fierce;
His haggard eyes the girls eyes pierce;
But something in their tender light
Checks his half savage mood. despite
The awless. desperate soul within,
That seldom stops at soil or sin;
He moves aside--she passes by,
Saved by the power OF purity.

a Dangerous Drug.

IF one-hall of what the doctors are
saying all over the country is true,
there may soon be greater need OF a
temperance reform among the women
than there has ever been among the
men. Strong drink, however. is not the
monster by which the women may be
enslaved. but strong and poisonous
drug equally bancful in its effect.
This drug is antlpyrne. The chcmi-
cal name for it is neutrality-suspicious.

viii Have Great Moral wei el,t.

While the Methodist ecumenical confer
ence now in session at Washington is not a
legislative or judicial body whose acts or de
cisions will be legally binding upon any Of
the churches represented, and while it is dis
tinctly agreed that no votes shall be taken
upon matters affecting the internal ar
rangements of any Of the churches, it is no
less true that any deliverance of this great
body upon any question of UNCONVENTIONAL
attitude toward other branches of the holy
catholic church, or on the duty of Chris
tians of every name in observing and pre-
serving the Sabbath, encouraging temper
ance and similar questions will have
great moral weight within and withoutthe
denomination, and it is certain that there
will be deliverances of that kind. All
votes taken are Of individuals, without
any reference to the particular body with
which the voter is connected
