A temperance society has been estab-
lished in Harvard College.
Frances Willard is to spend some time IN
England with Lady Henry Somerset this
winter talking of temperance
There are 1900 places for the sale Of
liquor in Paris, and throughout the Re-
public there is one saloon for every eighty
seven people.
The Chief OF Police in Baltimore says that
be never found boys in the saloons until
lager beer was introduced and games pre-
pared to entice them in.
A law was passed in England in 1750 to
the effect that at parties ''ladies must not
get drunk on any pretext whatever, and
gentlemen not before O'clock"
Since women have been appointed State
librarians in Kentucky and Mississippi, an
absence of WHISKY and tobacco is noticed,
and a reign OF order and attention begun.
Take something with me-" remarked one
laboring man TO another, heading him to-
ward q saloon. Take something from
your wife and children, you mean," replied
the other, and the first man blushed and
looked ashamed.

The domestic side of Mrs. Leases life
is not the least of her creditable charac-
teristics. She is fond mother and
good wife. Her home is in Wichita,
where her husband, who is pharmacist,
is engaged in business. Her children
are bright and we'll trained, and the eld.
est son, now almost grown, will probably
follow her to the rostrum.

TIE RIVER OF RUM.

There's a river dark with murky tide.
Its banks are high and its current wide,
And its circling eddies are swift and strong,
Its constant roar is the SIRENS song.
The shores are all dark and mirey clay,
Strewn with lfe's hopes along the whole
way.
The fathers pride has gone down its wave,
The man Of great wealth as well as the slave,
The wise, the gifted. the brilliant and grand,
Have all been wrecked on it's blighting
strand:
She who but lately was a laughing bride
Now mourns alone by the river side;
The widows and orphans who cry for bread
Mcarn for the father who was worse than
dead.
That river 10 made of many rill,
But the cause Of all comes out of the still,
The poison hid from the light of the sun,
Forms the vast tide of the River of Rum.

Sleeping Her Life Away.

The German village of Grambke is
greatly excited over IA case of persistent
somnolency in the person Of the daugh-
ter of one of the town officials. The girl,
pretty, slender child of some thirteen
years of age, has been in continual
sleep since the second week in May, and
even now does not show the least trace
of arousing from her protracted slum-
Der. During the first week Of her en-
forced sleep the family seemed grieved
to the verge of distraction and all was
mourning in the house where the child
lay in the embrace of deaths twin
brother"
After awhile, however, when it was
noticed that she would swallow liquid
nourishment, their fears for her safety
seemed 10 ahate to certain degree, and
now, after lapse of more than half a
year, the family go about their daily
labors as If the little maid were really
dead and half forgotten. Highest medi-
cal authorities have been consulted, but
all efforts to keep her awake have re-
suited in total failures. st. Louis Re

Shopping Philosophy.

There were two young women In sll-
versmiths on Broadway bearing in their
hands the lists of tho happy beings who
were to be remembered with gifts and
on their faces the anxiety of Christmas
shoppers.
Say, Nell" said one as they forced
their way to the place where penholders
were displayed. "why don't you give
your father n penholderT
"Well, said Nell thoughtfully, "as he
dictates even his letters to mamma to
his typewriter, don't know what use he
could make Of one. But you might get
one for Walter"
Walter has one. Why don't you get
a silver framed calendar"
"Too expensive. | believe I'll get

in Paris last spring"
"Oh, sure enough. Well-say Nell, l
want new hatpin for myself, Come on
and let's get it,"
They did 30, and then Nell remember
cd that she needed some lacepins and
bought them. After these purchases the
young shoppers said they felt too tired to
buy any more that day and drifted down
the street, planning to buy father and
Walter and Louise gifts in the future.

scientiously struggling with her list,
