Truth, like cream, always comes to the top.
 All that God can do for the human soul the tempter promises to do with the in- toxicating cup. Whisky is the devils counterfeit for the Holy Spirit, and mor- tals in all lands have been deceived by this counterfeit. The philosophy of christian missions is a desire born of the Holy Spirit in mortal's heart that he must go and tell mortals who may come to Him and drink and thirst no more.
 Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller says that the inequality between the sexes and the dominance of man begins when the boy is allowed more pockets than the girl; he brings out things new and old, and espec- ially new, from those mysterious recepta- cles of which he has dozen to her one {; he jfngles the impossible collections of those pockets in her ears, and she has no redress; she thinks, pool little innocent, that he must certainly be somebody or other when he carries with him such a menagerie, but all the same these pockets are no indication whatever of his superi- ority, for she could have and ought to have the same; she appreciates convent ences as much as he, and would just as gladly gather up a specimen exhibit of whatever is in the heaven above and the earth beneath that she does not is alto- gether her misfortune and not at all her fault. We have been exceedingly mild in our remarks upon the inequality of fate and fortune as respects men and women, but we call for a strike on the pocket question. Here is good place to draw the line and say we will have our quota, we will no longer put up with fewer than one dozen pockets apiece, and before long we shall demand the outside number, which, to the best of our knowledge, equals eighteen.
 A white -ribboner writes as follows as regard to her first awakening to the claims of the temperance work upon her Several months ago my husband told me hurriedly one evening that friend of ours had been drunk on the street. He had been very sick with la grippe and while suffering intense pain his brother had given him whisky. The old appetite of dissipated youth was aroused, an6 this devout christian went on spree ot more than weeks duration. It was 6 great shock to every one. When heard it knelt and commeI ced to pray, saying How long, 0 Lord! how long?' If some one had been standing by me the answer could not have been plainer or more i'm mediate, Just as long as christian people like you do nothing for temperance.' ceased my, wailing and solemnly vowed God helping me, would do something for the great cause"
 Eight times as much money is spent or tobacco by Americans as for the suppor of their churches.
 One of the prettiest stories I ever heard is as follows: When Lady Henry Somer set was four or five years old ball wal given at Buckingham Palace to be at tended by none. except the first born o peers. She went with her parents, tn
 Earl and Countess of Somers. Being al independent little thing she strayed oi from her guardians and went on tour o
 observation through the great hall, an'
 finally when Queen Victoria and Prime
 Albert left to go to the banquet table sh
 seated herself on the cushioned seat tn T queen had vacated. She had on whit 1 tulle dress with real daisies pinned or fast
 ened to it, and wreath of natural daisie rested on her chestnut brown hair. Whe I Queen Victoria returned, behold the littl
 girl was in her seat, whereat the quee
 seemed quite amused and said, "And thi
 is little Isabel" The child answere with quite toss of her head, "This
 Lady Isabel" When Lady Henry wa eighteen years of age she was presente ,l at court and wore white dress covere
 with natural flowers as before. Tn
 queen bent to kiss her fresh young cheek as is the custom with the daughters c peers when they are presented. and said : s'Daisies again, Lady Isabel!!" She ha remembered the circumstance of the ball
 room all those years, in the midst of he great preoccupied life.
