SIDE LIGHT-THE PERSONAL EQUATION
A WEAK BROTHERS. PLEA.
BY HELENA THOMAS.

Many readers of this paper have
doubtless read in a recent issue of the
Housekeeper's Weekly, an artical from
the gifted pen of Marion Haland"
entitled, Showing her hand" For
the benefit of those not having had
that pleasure | will give a clue to it by
the following opening lines.
She says, "a correspondent makes
this request: will Marion Harland
show her hand upon the temperance
question: AS the mention of wine,
brandy, ETC., in her cookery books may
predispose many to doubt her soundness
as to the apostle sinjunction to be TEN
perate in all things she writes of the
article, then shows her hand" in a
way that surely does her credit, as she
tells of a life long hatred of strong
drink as a beverage, etc,
But | am sure many of us will and
do regret that she draws the line at
cooking as follows: II hold hal there
is no sin or even danger, unless the
taste be already enkindled, in the oc
casional use of them in the kitchen as
M would handle vanilla, lemon OF
bitter almond ~flavoring extracts. do
not believe that a single drunkard was
ever made by the tablespoonful of
wine that goes into the pudding sauce.
Every house mother kno WIS for whom
she is catering. If one of her family
or guests already loves and graves the
sti nulant it is prudent to omit it" etc
For be it from me to sit in judge 1 ent
on Marion Harland, but l must take
exceptions to at least one sentence in
her article, and that is, Every house
mother knows for whom she is cater
ing" In giving orders for dinner or
preparing it ourselves, we may plan
only for our own loved ones, but how
can we feel sure but that a chance
guest may be ushered in to partake of
the branded pudding sauce, pie or
fruitcake of whose craving for the
stimulant" we are in ingorance?

A Very Common Want.

"Out of Sorts" ''d~istrait" ''the

for uncomfortable, undefinable SEN

nervousness, indigestion. Poverty of
the blood, to remedy which an effective

paramount need, is conclusive evil
dence that the system is insufficiently
nourished because-and for no other
cause where organic diseases does not
exist-the food is not assimilated. Re-

formed men. At n time it was my
privilege to entertain a temperance
speaker of considerable fame, but
physically he was sad wreck from
strong drinks. / considered myself a
temperance woman, disliking spiritu-
GUS draughts of all kinds. "tasted
not but l did ''handle when il came to
mince pies. / prided my self on those
pies and thought it needed lust a
little to give them the desired flavor;
but being a temperance (?) woman"
used so very little 1 did not dream
that it could ever be detected. So,
when dinner time came, with no small
degree of pride, l served mince pie.
But great was my surprise to see my
guest, the speaker, push back the plate
containing it, and abruptly leave the
table and the house. He was gone two
or three hours; when he returned it was
evident that he had been going through
a struggle, he looked so wan and pale,
poor man, that az | observed his face,
readily forgave his seeming rudeness.
Reaching out his hand, he said very
humbly. Can you pardon my abrupt
leave taking-but," he added, my
conduct calls for an explanation,
though shrink from telling any one
how weak am"
Then, walking across the room as il to
nerve himself for an unpleasant duty,
he turned and with tears in his ewes,
said Madam, l pray God that none of
your loved ones may eve know what it
is to struggle as l have done since l
left the house. Some boast that the
love of strong drink is taken from
them, but you will realize to some ex-
tent my weakness when l tell you that
the faint odor of it l detected in your
pie nearly overcame me. l rushed out
into the air and walked like a wild
man away from saloons and what my
appetite craved, and getting off al one
l prayed as only such a helpless one
knows how to pray, that God would
save me from myself. He alone is my
strength, and yet l fear l never can in
safety sit at His table where fermented
wine is used. You may say, a little
brandy or wine will tempt none of my
loved mes but some chance guest,
weak like myself, may be sent to per-
dition by your thoughtlessness."
Do hear some of my readers say,
that is an extreme case"? Yes it is,
but have sometimes wondered if it
were not to make our duty clear in
such, that we have that passage in
Romans, 1T is good neither to eat
flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything
whereby they brother stumbleth, or is
offended, or is made weak"
The little incident made such an i'm
preston upon me that l never shall
forget it while life and reason last. Fiji
teen years have passed since then, and
not a drop of any thing that can intox-
icate has gone into my cooking. l will
admit that l have more thar once been
tempted to give to it the old time fla
vor, but each temptation has been met
by For Gods sake, don't" seemingly
uttered by that pleading face that l
gazed into 80 remorsefully long ago.
And now, dear sisters, | think | am
even beyond the temptation to thus
make my brother weak. Are you?

GOOD N A
They Are a Splendid Investment and
Not an Expense.

The attention given by Gov. Flower
to the good roads question will lead to
bringing this important matter before
the Legislature of the Empire State and
secure for it proper consideration. The
facts and figures advanced in support
OF his arguments made the New York
executives position clear and his argu.
ment conclusive.
Gov. Flower shows that good roads
should cost no more than bad roads.
and in order to demonstrate this fully
he presents a statement of the amount
OF money expended annually in main
tanning the roads in fifty counties of
the State Of New York, which is 81
7lo,76l. The Governor shows that with
this sum Of money expended for in
terest on bonds for building and main
tanning good roads there is still enough
left to provide a sinking fund with
which to eventually wipe out the bond
ed Indebtedness. 1.-THE cost" saws
Gov. Flower, ''of $50 miles Ct macadam
road in each county at $1,000 a mile
would be $1,050, 900, the interest on
which would be $42,4O per annum at
a per cent leaving S12, 900 a year to be
applied to a sinking fund" The Gov.
ernor then earnestly invites the atten-
ton of the Legislature to this great
question:" and declares himself i'm
pressed with its material importance
to the interests of the whole State"
What is said of New York may be
said with added emphasis concerning
the road conditions in other State. The
amount expended in keeping up bad
roads would build and maintain good
roads. There is deep seated prejudice
against bonded Indebtedness, and this
is the outgrowth of the era of extrava-
giant railroad bonuses and expensive
county courthouses. As an opposition
to useless expenditures it is highly
c~ommendable. But as an argument
against any sort of improvement it is
illogical and actually hurtful to the
agricultural portions of the State.
Money invested in something that is
worth all or more than is paid for il
should not be looked upon as money
foolishly expended, which brings no
permanent good results.
Money expended for good roads
would be a wise investment for the
reason that it would enchance the value
of every bit of property in any given
county. Fifty cents an acre for each
acre of land in an ordinary county
would pay for good roads for that
county. One dollar an acre for those
lands that are now deprecated in value
and rental would paw for roads that
would make them accessible. Estima.

accessible farms in an ordinary county

at $40 an acre, the increase would ag-
gregate perhaps $4,000 900, while the
higher rental possible would be enough
to pay outright for good roads for the
entire county in two or three years at
the most.

an intelligent investment and not as an
expense. Chicago News Record.

THE HOME AND FARM.

The blossoms of the plant from which
coffee is obtained is white. 1t grows
to about the height of ten feet and the
fruit is of a bright RED color.
The feeding value in the corn cob
when ground lies chiefly in its mineral
and mechanical elements. The potash
in it goes to the n pile and is of
more value than the feeding element.
POULTRY NOTES.
Contentment, rest and plenty of prop
er food are the best aids in fattening
fowls.
Strictly choice fowls that are known
to be such command good prices all
the year round in the city markets.
The chicks of all breeds are nearly
all of the same size until they weigh a
pound, 10 that for broilers breed counts
but little.
Giving a little bone meal in their feed
is one of the best remedies for leg
weakness. 1t is not necessarily a dan
gerous disease.
A good work can be done in keeping
down lice in the poultry house if care
is taken to whitewash the inside regu-
larly every month or six weeks.
1t is not often that a hen will want
to set at this time, and If she does it
will require more than the average
comfortable quarters if she matches
her eggs well.
The secret of success in raising early
broilers for market is not 80 much in
the Matching as in the feeding and care
afterwards necessary to secure a vigor-
Gus, thrifty gain.
1t should be remembered that lice at
tack ill fed fowls first, and that it is
next to impossible to feed up into a
thrifty condition fowls that are badly
infested with lice.
In making a start with turkeys it will
always pay to get one of the better
breeds. The bronze is one of the best
breeds. They are hardy and grow rap
idly to a good size.
Use all reasonable pains to keep the
fowls tame. 1t will be quite advanta-
geous when it begins to be necessary to
handle them as it will be when the
hens begin to set and hatch.
Ground oats make splendid food for
young poultry, but in nearly all cases
it will be best to sift them and give the
finer portions to the younger chickens
and the coarser to the larger ones.
On many farms, so long as the poul-
try can have a free, full range, it will
not be necessary to feed them grit, but
when confined, as in many cases they
must be during the winter, it will be
necessary to supply it.
Ten hens in a house that gives them
plenty OF room will lay more eggs than
twenty that are crowded hence, one
not only gets fewer eggs when there are
too many hens together, but the cost
of the food is greater and the amount
OF work increased. Trying to do too
much on a limited area has caused
many failures, and the proper plan is
too keep but a few hens rather than
too many.

Petition of the Worlds Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union to the Gov
ernments of the world-[Collectively
and severally.]
Honored ~rilers, representatives, and
brothers:-We, your petitioners, al,
though belonging to the physically
weaker sex, are strong of heart to love
our homes, our native land, and the
worlds family of nations. We know
that clear brains and pure hearts make
honest lives and unhappy homes, and
that by these the nations prosper,
and the time is brought nearer when
the world shall be at peace. We know
that indulgence in alcohol and opium
and in other vices which disgrace our
social life, makes misery for all the
world, and most of all for us and our
children. We know that stimulants
and opiates are sold under legal guar
antees which make the Governments
partners in the traffic, by accepting as
revenue a portion of the profits, and we
know with shame that they are often
forced by treaty upon populations
either ignorant or unwilling. We
know that the law might do much now
left undone to raise the moral tone of
society and render vice difficult. We
have no power to prevent these great
iniquities beneath which the whole
world groans, but you have power to
redeem the honor of the nations from
an ~indefensible completely. We there
fore come to you with the united voices
OF representative women OF every land,
beseeching you to raise the standard of
the law to that of Christian morals, to
strip away the safeguards and sanctions
of the State from the drink traffic and
the opium trade, and to protect our
homes by the total prohibition of these
curses of civilization throughout all
the territory owe which your Govern
ment extends.
If the names were written one under
the other, the Petition would be not
less than 10 miles long, but we have
them 30 placed that the average is a
names upon each line.
This is the largest petition in the
history of the world so far as we can
ascertain. 1t asks for the abolition of
the traffic in alcoholic drinks and
opium; women sign as regular petit
tioners, and men sign as endorsers of
the request of the m This is
perfectly understood and will be ex-
planned everywhere the petition is
carried.
Lady Henry Somerst, of England,
and Miss Frances E. Willard, of Amer
lea, with a commission of White Rib
bon women, will go with this petition
to every civilized Government within
two years after the Worlds Fair.
We ask all who care for the protec-
ton of the home and of the tempted
lives that are there nurtured to cut out
this petition, paste it on a slip of paper
and 60 out seeking for names. This is
good, thorough temperance work.
When you have secured as many as
possible, send the roll to Miss Alice
Briggs, Rest Cottage, Evanston, near
Chicago, Ill.

those who find. ISABEL SOMERSET.
