Although Monroe has repeatedly voted no license, yet number of her enter prising citizens are acting as dispensers of fluid to the thirsty and Sunday, 18th, our streets, both at the Center and East Village, were full of drunken men, some lying stupidly in the gutters.

tive in life than to make money will see that, by making Sunday excursions at tractive, they can get greater gains, therefore they will add one and another attraction, each requiring the employ ment of more and more laborers, till the Sabbath will be utterly destroyed as day of rest and spiritual culture and it will be with us as in France. the work ing classes will have no Sabbath worthy of the name.
 For these reasons, the working classes especially should boycott all pleasure excursions on Sunday, that they may help preserve for themselves and their fellow workmen true day of rest. The same is true of the reading of the Sun day newspaper. There is in them class of diversion, but it is on the low scale of the earthly and flinders the reader from rising, either morally or spiritually, into a nobler sphere of life. On the other hand, as ignorance is one of our great est evils, we should seek to make the Sabbath observance a means of stimulat- ing and lifting our thought to the better and nobler purposes of life and thus gain a true knowledgcof ourselves and our eternal destiny. To do this, we must place ourselves in the line of pure and holy instruction, where the surroundings and associations will help lift our thought to our highest interests, the cul- tivation of our spiritual natures.
 The proper observance of the Sabbath then will find expression in the teach ing of our families the divine purpose of this life and in leading them to the church of God, that thought may be full ly brought into communion with God, source of all wisdom and goodness. A Sabbath thus spent will bring us a re- freshing and fit us for better work dur ing the week.
 Again, as
 ''It is not all of life to live,
 Nor all of death to die,"
 In our observance of the Sabbath, we should keep in view, not only our pres ent good, but also have purpose to pre- pare for that future and endless life witf God, where are pleasures forevermOre Speaking of this subject, Sir Matthew Hale saith:
 "A Sabbath well spent Brings week of content, And strength for the tolls ot the morrow But Sabbath profancd, Whatever be gained,
 Is q certain fOrerunner of sorrow.

A Little Girls Experience In Lighthouse.

MT and Mrs Loren Prescott are keepers of the lighthouse at Sand Beach, Mich. and are blessed with daughter four years old. Last April she was taken down with measles, fol lowed with a dreadful cough and turning into fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit treated her, but in vain, she grew worse rap idly, until she was mere "handful of bones. Then she tried Dr Kings New Discovery and, after the use of two and half bottles, was completely cured. They say pr Kings New Discovery is worth its weight in gold. yet you may get trial bottle free at E. F. Hawley's drug store.

A French physician is quoted by the New York Herald as objecting to Keel eys cure for intemperance on the ground that bichloride of gold produces a spec ial stimulation of the brain, known as gold drunkenness, and that atropine, another element in the treatment, has a disastrous effect on the nervous system and causes atropia drunkenness. This physician holds the Keeley treatment likely to produce disorders of the mind.

HOW SHOULD THE WORKING GLASSES
 REGARD SUNDAY?

REGARD SUNDAY?
 They should so regard and observe it as to get the most real good from it.
 Now, as the Sabbath was given fol mans moral and spiritual welfare, ii should be observed with this end in view. For this reason, the laboring classes should be most jealous of their privilege for the Sabbath's rest and they should, by precept and example, strive against the present tendency to secular ize the day, or to turn it into day of sight seeing and pleasure excursions, be- cause this sweeping tide of dissertation need go but little further when there will be no Sunday in the true sense left to the working classes; but they will have to work seven days for six days pay. For the laboring classes to take pleasure excursions on Sunday is not on- Iy to lose the true benefit of the rest and the enobling and elevating power of the Sabbath, in it's pure and holy assoeia- tions with God and communion with our spiritual natures, but they also weaken their physical powers through form of dissipation more or less injurious.
 For, while the change of scenes and thought may in a measure have bene- ficial influence, yet such an employment of the day is in the same carnal sphere as of other days. And many can bear testimony to the fact that, after the day thus spent, they were as unfit for work on Monday, as if they had worked all day Sunday.
 Besides, they should remember that, for their excursion, d number of their fellow workmen must be deprived of their Sabbath and thus the leaven of Sunday work will be constantly spread ing. For men who have no higher mo-

well known TO the anccntS and 20 were the
dwarfs Ct the grca: forests. Bar the world, WiNo
in incicdulous ignorance, regarded them as M or

Now. il is said Emin pacha has taken up the
unfinished problem and fully worked it out:
though the very letter that tells us this suggests
that there are some important details yet I'M
solved
At any rate. il seems clear that Emin pacha
has made material progress in the survey Of the
Cpper Nile region. He and Dr. Stuhlmann have
been wandering through karagwe, Ankori and
the adjacent countries, between Lakes Vic
torja. Albert Edward and Tanganyika. In
Kaagwe they found river, hitherto unknown,
called the kifu 1t rises in the Uhha country,
northeast Of Ujiii, and flows noIthward somo
22O or 23O miles, pas tho base Of Mount
MfumbirO. and cmpteS itself into the
southern part Of Lake Albert Edward. If

ing that Identical with the Alexandra Nile. If
,uch a body Of water exist at all it now seems
more probable that it is a part Of the kifu River
system and tributary to Lake Albert Edward.
II is not stated that Emin Pacha has fully cx-
plored the Kfu. He has simply traveIscd it,
lower portion and surveyed its mouth. While
he has. therefore, added facts of material value
to our knowledge of African geography il is TOO
much TO say. 50 far as present information goes,
that he has discovered the ultimate source of the
Nile. What he may have done since the latest
news came hither from him is, of course only
