Alcohol IniurIous in syncope.

N. s. Davis, NJ. D., writes to The
Union Signal as follows concerning the
use of alcohol in case of syncope:
Place the person in horizontal posi-
ton in free access to air: dash the face,
chest and neck at intervals with few
drops Of water, repeating till breathing
becomes regular; put teaspoonful of
water in the mouth, and if it is swal-
lowed follow with another containing
ten drops of aromatic spirits of ammo

f,,r,.,,au Endeavor ON tho Ocean.

Probably some members Of the Chris.
tian Endeayor society are unaware how
large number of members are sailors
who have the privilege Of participating
in meetings of the society at home.
There are now nearly 500 such mem
bers. and there is no doubt that the mum
Der will grow. A convert sailor re
turning to his ship needs the assistance
the Christian Endeavor society gives
even more than the convert on land
who has his church and fellow members
to give him strength. Christian work
ers who labor among sailors in our sea
port towns will do well to recollect the
fact and suggest to the newly converted
sailor the value of membership in the
society.
The pledge is the Christian Endeavoi

which are really pathetic in the appre
citation of the value of the society:

A MODERN ROMANCE.
How the Light of the Moon, a Lover and
"A Detective Got Mixed.

Detective LOT hiNeu.
Hhe sun had sunk 10 rest on his couch
of western hills curtained with draperles
of purple clouds. One by one the gentle
stars twinkled into life and the silver rim
of the young moon shone in the deep blue
of the eastern sky. Murmuring wavelets
Tapped the pebbly beach and "A breeze sweet
as the sigh OF love stole over the calm land
and whispered dreams to every listening
ear.
In the garden of the great mansion on
tine hill the tinkling fountain sang gen
tie melody and flowers freighted the warm
air with dreamy fragrance. 1t was night
to make day an unwelcome intruder.
Softly the lattice gate swung open and "a
vision of lovcliness stole in. Under the
shadow Of the spreading locust trees she
glded past the grape arbor and on to the
rustic bench beneath the great elm at the
end of the inclosure. Her breath came in
great, deep sighs; she halted now and then
with finger on lip and listened for mo
ment, then passed on again.
She turned her great eyes toward the
grove ut the left. She was looking for
some one whose coming would make her
heart beat quicker. Hark! A stealthy
step, She heard it and started. glad
light came into her eyes; the blood rushed
TO her checks. She half rose, then sank
back and waited.
He was coming now and in few mo-
ments she would bid goodby to her dear
horne. leave her loving parents and trust
her life TO him who had captured her trust
ing heart Now that the time had come
she almost regretted her rash promise.
But she did love him sol
He was very close to her now, and she
sat with downcast eyes waiting for his
kiss.
"Please, miss!'
With shrek she sprang to her feet.
