rock in two nugget Of gold as big as a
kernel of wheat was revealed and the
inside of the rock proved to be almost
solid hematte and pyrites of iron, which
in this camp carries a large percentage of
gold. The specimen was carefully carried
to camp, where a portion Of it was PANIED,
revealing long string of free gold. By a

Thirty Orphan Brides.
Boston TRANSCRIPT,

At the far end of Naples lies the little
church of Santa Maria Annunziata. which
once year, on the DAY of Our Lady,"
wakes up into a brief life and excitement.
In silent row before the high altar kneel
thirty girls. all in black garments. with
folded hands, and eyes fixed on the picture
of the Madonna before them. These are
orphans from the neighboring founding
asylum, and once a year all those who have
reached the age of IS are brought here to the
church, and may be chosen in marriage by
any honest man whose papers are in
order, and whose character is good. A the
door leading to the sacristy leans gray
headed priest, the head OF the asylum.
BY and by young man makes his way
from the back of the church and hands
him little packet of papers. These the
priest reads carefully. nd,sDeing evidently
satisfied, he gives back the papers and leads
the candidate toward the row of girls. All
their eyes are fixed more steadfasrly than
ever on the altar, all their hands are
casped tighter together. their faces
turn a shadu paler, their hearts beat
quicker as the young man walks
slowly along the row. At last he stops.
His choice is made. He stretches out
his hand with a. little smile. The girl rises.

TEMPERANCE TiDINGS.

BUILD up the savings banks and you
break up the saloons.-Standard.
If man undertakes to support sa-
loon and his family, it inevitably hap
pens that the saloon grows richer ara
the family poorer.
THE Wisconsin Scandinavian total
abstinence association has one thou
sand five hundred members, and con-
sists of thirty-seven local societies.
A CONSERVATIVE estimate places the
quantity of whisky marketed by Ken
lucky moonshiners annually at nearly
one-fourth of the output of all the dis
tilleries of the state.
INVESTIGATION by the Swiss federal
council shows that the Swiss consume
twenty-seven million litres of brandy
yearly, and that in consequence the
number of men fit for military service
Is decreasing.
POLICE statistics show that the ar
rests for drunkenness in London are at
the annual rate of one to every l75 in
habitants: in birmingham, one to 1873;
in Manchester, one to Il, and in Liver
pool. one to 80.
CERTAIN regiments in India were kept
under strict observation. The five
thousand six hundred soldiers were di-
vided into three classes, free and mod.
crate drinkers and total abstainers.
The death rate of the free drinkers was
four times and the death + ate of the
moderate drinkers twice that of the alb
stainers.
STATISTICS of persons arrested for in
inebriety, extending over long periods,
will point to certain years in which
maximum in numbers was reached, fol-
lowed by retrograde movement back
to a minimum. This tidelike move
ment is sometimes clear, then obscure
Often it is marked by both epidemic
and endemic waves and is traced in the
prevalence of inebriety in towns and
cities, and in the reaction noted by
temperance revivals. This psychologist
cal ebb and flow was pointed out by
DIR. Westphal in Sweden many years
ago and an interval of seventeen years
was indicated as the time between the
maximum and minimum periods of inc

A Temperance Lesson.

The stronger temperance lectures are

privacy. The one given below deserves
universal reading:

PAPA" BY TELEPHONE.
And the Children Know That Nurse Car
Reach Him.

There is a household in this city
where the father is sole administrator
at present, the mother having gone
away on visit TO some relatives for d
short stay.
The neighbors have commented upon
the order which reigns among the ju-
veniles. who are in charge of nurse,
while the father is down at his office
during business hours.
Discipline is maintained, however, by
an internediary-the telephone.

the fatherly ear is turned on, willie
says he is going out skating, and you
know he has cold. "

No, papa
Then you stay in the house, sir, or

Then Mr.. Blank goes back to his desk
and takes up customer at the precise
point where he dropped him.
The other children are disposed of in
the same way, and unless the tele-
phone wires are cut there will be no
danger Of any refractory child having

ALCOHOL AND DISEASE.
Mans Power to Resist Infection Reduced

Mans Power to Resist Infection Reduced
by Drink.
Sir James Sawyer, NJ. D., f. R. C. p,
exprofessor of medicine in Queens col
lege, In a recent address at great
meeting in Birmingham, said:
Medical science has been making
great advances during the last ten years
in the knowledge of the causes and
cure OF many diseases. BY microscopic
research it has been discovered that
many diseases, which were before
thought to arise spontaneously within
the human body, really owe their ORR
gin TO the entrance into the body from
without of minute micro-organisms,
whiss1 increase and multiply within
the blood and within other fluids and
tissues, and in thei, increase cause
each according to its own kinda spe-
cific disease. This is true of tubercular
consumption, of cholera, of typhoid
fever, and probably of many other dis
eases, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever,
smallpox, measles, erysipelas and
pneumonia. Each Inicro-organism
generates its like, and moth
ing else-just as a cabbage
only comes from cabbage, and a cocoa
nut only from n coacoanut. These
micro-organisms lie thickly round about
us. They reach us in what we touch,
in what we wear, in what we ea<, in
what we drink, and in what we breathe.
Why then do we not all fall victims to
them day by day? Because there are
within our blood, and within the fluids
and tissues Of our bodies, numberless
little healthy cells called leucocytes,
which destroy the micro-organisms of
disease. When a leucocyte meets a
morbid micro-organism within the liv-
ing human body, it takes it into itself,
destroys it, and causes it to disappear.
Medical science has shown that several
agents have the power of impeding or
of eXtinguishing this marvellous protec-
tive work of the leucocytes. One of the
agents which so paralyzes the leuco-
cytes is alcohol. Thus science shows
that mans normal power of resisting
the inroads of infective disease is di-
minished or lost when his body is under
the influence of alcoholic drink. Ma
tional Temperance Advocate.

The Welcome Guest.

The 'good-dinncr woman" is one
who aims to listen well. and avoids the
mistake of being smart. She must be
endowed with that quality which in its
highest form amounts To genius
namely, tact. This is, probab bly,, the
hardest grace to cultivate in the cata-
logue of virtues, for it embraces all the
others. 1t is really the spirit and the
letter Of the golden rule, and its corner
stone is unseltshness. The popular
woman knows that every huma n being
is happier to tell good story than
TO hear one. 1t belongs to the gen
eral principle of being more blessed
TO give than to receive. and the good
dinner woman" has this written as the

DRINK IN THE ARMY.
How the Crime of Drunkenness Is Regard
ed In Military Life.

ed In Military Life.
A gentleman who has good reason
for his statement says: How much
cause there is for regret that Gen. How
ard stands so nearly alone in denounc-
ing the saloon curse under whatever
name and guise; and how much the
fact that he stands thus nearly alone
signifies as to the drink customs of the
United States army.
Il would like to give few details as
to the working of the saloon feature of
the post exchange at a certain south
western post. After the January pay
day sergeant, musician and private
were placed under arrest for crimes
committed while under the influence
of drink obtained at the much-lauded
post exchange. The sergeant was found
by the officer of the day drunk while
in charge of the guard--stupidly drunk.
The other two INDUCED in drunken
fight. A corporal was also placed I'M
der arrest for drunkenness, incapaci-
tating him for the proper performance
of his duties as company clerk. Now
not one of these men was tried for
drunkenness, or any other cause.
They got drunk on beer sold at the
government saloon, and it would never
do to try them for such an offense!
What did it matter that the sergeant
was not able to look after his guard?
Nothing when the fact was taken into
consideration that he got his beverage
at the cooperative saloon, especially as
the officer of the day happened to be the
officer in charge of the canteen.
What do drunken brawls and fights
amount to? A mere trife when the
profit obtained by the sale of drink to
the fighters helps swell the dividend to

4 FRANTIC APPEAL.

An esteemed subscriber, D. D. B., of
Denver, Colorado, sends US a circular
that has been issued by the silver mine
owners and business men of that
state, which shows that the condition
of affairs is, at least, very grave. The
appeal is remarkable one, and every
known argument is used to convince
the reader that is is of the utmost i'm
portance that the present silver pur-
chase law be retained, unless congress
shall pass the free coinage bill. The
arguments used amount to this: eve
have staked our interests in silver
mining, which is an Improbable bust
ness, unless the value of silver can be
maintained at about 81 90 an ounce.
Silver has fallen in value so that gov
eminent, which is compelled by law to
purchase four and onehalf million
ounces monthly, can buy the same at
20 cents an ounce. On account of this
condition of things we blame congress,
