Of necessity more speculative than they

those who wax eloquent over what is

is needful for the gentleman. 1t is all
nonsense to declare one man TO be as
good as another He isn't always any
more than cart horse is the equal of the
racing steed, or the mongrel in the gutter
that Of the thoroughbred dog who is as
fine In his ways as a dainty child. To
good birth l would add good breeding and
II is just this attribute which the man of
inferior birth finds is most elusive and
difficult OF attainment. The prime tests
Of good breeding are invariable courtesy
towards men, an avoidance Of exaggera-
ton and excess in the ordiary affairs Of
existence and an absolute control Of pas
sion In any form. These things are the
outcome of the broad and liberal culture,
the knowledge of the world coupled with
the savior faire to recognize It's foibles
and at the same time understand how to
escape them, that go to the making Of a
gentleman. But with all this ne must
have nothing of either the prig or the ped
ant In his composition and he must love
virtue for its own sake. BY virtue i don't
mean cheap forms of morality but a wide
comprehension and performance Of the
every day duties Of life, that have moth
ing to do with the highways and byways

Treatment of the Feet.


The most cruel custom is that OF bind
ing the feet, little foot In China being
the differentiatlng mark between the lady
and the common woman. What we look
upon as a frightful deformity. the Chinese
regard as a mark Of beauty, viii be seen
by a glimpse Of the accompanying photo
graph OF a Chinese woman's foot that
was amputated by medical friend OF
mine when modification had set in. The
girl who wants TO be lady must submit
TO this torture when she is quite small.
The bandage is wrapped tightly round
the foot. causing the four smaller toes
to turn IN towards the sole of the foot.

a deep hollow. The bones contract, the
growth is retarded and the flesh shrivels

This is what Rev. b. Fay Mills has
to say in regard to the state of affairs
in Omaha, Nebraska, city which
licenses the social evil, gambling and
the liquor traffic: 81 have been in
nearly every city in the United States,
but nowhere have / found vice so
open and without shame upon its
countenance as in this promising city
Of yours. Nowhere have | seen the
gambling hells run so openly and de
family as here Licensed by the CITY
to carry on their damnable work, they
run openly and without fear of moles-
tation. Nowhere have | seen the So
cial evil so prominent Acres of
your fair city are set apart for the
propagation of this evil, and beauti-
full and costly buildings are erected
for no other purpose than to be used
as houses of ill-fame. There is no
other city in the United States that
will begin to compare with yours in
open temples of depravity.

One fact must be borne in more
and more strongly upon the minds of
all who are engaged in fighting vice
and crime in any of their manifold
forms, and that is the omnipresence
of the drink traffic as producing
and compelling agency of the evil.
Whichever way men turn in their eff
forts to ameliorate the condition of
their fellows, they find the dark and
direful form of the dramshop stand
ing in the way. The social evil. the
gambling passion, the corruption of
politics, the increase of idiocy and
insanity, the clashing of industrial
forces-some of these things are di-
rectly produced and all are nourished
and strengthened by the example and
influences of the dramshop. 1t is a
generally conceded fact that the social
vice finds its chief occasion and its
constant stimulus in the appetite for
strong drink. And so also with the
gambling passion. The brothel and
the gambling den are always found in
close and intimate relations with the
saloon. Very often they stand to-
gether under common management
And as for corruption in politics.
nothing can be more evident than
that the grogshop is here the all-pow-
erful factor. Back of all Tweed
rings, Tammany Hall bosses and
David B. Hill wirc-pullers, stands the
saloon as the source Of education. in
spiration and reward. The curse of
America today is tarroom politics.
and we shall neve, Breathe a purer
political atmosphere or realise in any
adequate degree the blessings of
free and popular government until
our legislative halls and executive
chambers are purged of the pervad-
ing presence of the liquor power. -

All true temperance people must
rejoice in the success of the Kelley
and Ensor institutes. 1t is said that
not less than so, 600 have taken the
Kelley remedy for the liquor habit,
and that less than 8 per cent of those
taking the remedy have become again
enslaved to the habit But those who
have found relief must not frequent
the saloons and other places where
liquor is sold and drunk or they vii
be in great danger of falling. They
should keep just as far as possible
from the temptation.

The San Francisco Examiner calls
attention to the fact that one of the
most prolific causes of insanity is
drinking of a regular and moderate
kind, the sort of indulgence habitual
with men who are never known to be
perceptibly under the influence of
liquor; who attend to business prop
erly, but ''from the morning cocktail
10 the night-cap before going to bed,
are continually taking doses Of alco-
hol. This process is characterized,
and quite properly, as a species of
slow poisoning.

The Rockford Monitor says that to
get an intelligent idea of the vastness
of the drink bill of the United States
for 1892, $500, 600, 600, we must
make a few comparisons: "The net
earnings of all the railroads of the
United States amounts to less than
one-third of onr drink bill. The loss
of property by fire in 1891 was only
ene-ninth Of the liquor bill. The en-
tire expenses of the United States
government are only about one half
what we pay for intoXicants. The
aggregate capital of all our national
banks is about 800, 600, 600, or but
little more than one-half the amount
squandered on drink each wear. "
