NOT FROM MY BOTTLE.

Rev. John G.. Wooley; Four words
answer all arguments. 1--WE must
be polite" says one. "Not with
my bottle" ''They will have it. "
mot from my bottle" at will al
ways be drunk" "Not from my
bottle" "AIen have a right to
drink" "Not from my bottle" at
will always be sold on the sly"
"Not from my bottle" Perhaps the
saloon is to go on. I am not bound
to abolish it, but only my interest
in it. There are 100000 voters
in the United States. I'll vote my
fraction right, and every time | vote
I'll carry my share of that election
as long as God is alive. That may
not do the saloon any harm, but it
will be good for me. l am not
bound to be successful, but / am
bound TO be true. A square man is
never wrong side up. "My vote
won't COUNT" Listen: abraham
believed God, and it was counted. "
Yes, the saloon may go on, like the
brook, forever, and men die in them
like flies, and hell grow fat on
drunkards. Women may still break
their hearts in the vain effort to WOO
their loved ones from the drink.
Ladies may sip their wine, boys
still learn to drink, and men still
burn their hearts to a crisp in alco-
hol; priests may still desecrate Gods
altar with it; the national capitol
may have saloon in either end,
senators and representatives may be
drunk ON the floors of congress; the
soldiers home may still sell drink to
the old soldiers; the mistress of the
White House may brew her famous
punch. But not from my bottle.

A famous duchess in London recently
went through the ordeal of having a
dress made on her own figure. She
stood for three hours while the Z ess-
makers wrought fifty yards of rar old
lace that could not be cut into gown
for a soiree, at the close of which every
stitch had to be carefully cut and picked
out before the lady could disrobe. The
amount of torture that fair woman viii
undergo in the name of vanity would
astonish the martyrs.

A writer in the Forum has been in
vestigating the subject of tramps and
gives an interesting account of the
results. Fifty-seven per cent. of Amer.
lean tramps belong to skilled laborers,
and only about one per cent. had no
regular calling. With very few ex-
ceptions all profess to be in search of
work, and over so per cent. claimed to
be in good health. One IN twenty is
under twenty years of age, three out
of five under twenty-five, seventy five
out of one hundred under forty. In a
word, nearly all of them are healthy
men in the prime of life, and MAORI
ty of them have trades of some kind.
1t may be added right here that a
majority of them are native Americans
and nearly all are single men. Ninety.
nine per cent. claimed some sort of
religious membership, or utilization,
the free.thinkers and infidels numbers
ing per cent.

Pulsations and Power of the Heart. =

PuIsations and Power of the Heart.
The workings of the human heart
have been computed by a celebrated
Psychologist, and he has demonstrated
that it is equal 10 the lifting Of 10 tons
in twenty-four hours. Presuming that
the blood is thrown out of the heart at
each pulsation in the proportion of six
ty-nine strokes per minute and at the
assumed force of nine feet, the mileage
of the blood through the body might be
taken at 207 yards per minute, Z
miles per hour, 16s miles per day, 81, $40
miles per year, or 5,150,ssO miles in a
lifetime of 81 years In the same
period of time the heart must beat D

Senator Hoar on Suffrage.

At festival of the New England
Woman Suffrage Association, on
May 9th, Hon. Geo. r. Hoar said:
There are but two conceptions of
human government of which it can
be said-what can be said of no
other-that each rests upon a theory
logically CONSTANT with itself One
is that the power of government in a
state belongs to him who can get it
and who can keep it. / suppose
that every autocracy, from the des-
potic chief of the most barbarous
tribe, from the Emperor of China or
the Emperor of Russia, to the latest
American State, which includes the
word "male" in its description of the
person entitled to vote, thinks that
upon its power depends the public
welfare, and that the person or per-
sons who WELD political power in
their community are alone fit for it,
and that no other person whatever
can be admitted to share it without
public injury. Every advance of
mankind toward self-government in
the past has been extorted from the
ruling power by force or by fear.
The cause of woman suffrage rests
upon another theory. 1t relies for
its ultimate success upon the reason
and the sense of justice of the whole
community, and not upon its fear.
And it holds that the only true gov
eminent of the State is self-govern-
ment, and that in that self-govern-
ment every citizen of full age and of
sound mind has natural right to
share as birthright. We hold that,
so far as we can discover the design
of the Creator of mankind, we were
all of us placed upon this earth that
we might learn the lesson of self
government; that the human soul
might be developed, purified, fitted
for another and higher existence by
teaching it obedience to the moral
law. The sublimest thing in the
universe, except its Creator, is hu-
man will governing itself in obedi-
ence to law higher than its own
desire. The sublimest manifestation
of this self-control is when self-gov-
erning State regulates its conduct by
the moral law.
towards may shrink from it; men
who love their ease may affect to
despise it; but there is no nobler
employment of the human facul-
ties than to share in the government
of the state. The function is higher
and more noble rs the state in which
it is exercised reaches more nearly
to absolute self-government. To
that noble function we invite, sum-
mon and welcome the womanhood
of America.
Every nation or state has human
quality. 1t is made up of the best
qualities of the men and women who
compose it and who govern it. We
love it with an individual love. We
impute to it courage, justice, affec-
ton, ambition, self-control. The
Spartan, the Athenian, the Roman,
the Swiss, the English, the Ameri-
can temper is as real, as distinct, as
well understood as any hero in his
tory. We believe that there ought
to go to make up the quality and
temper of our Republic-great as it
is, still in the forming period of in
fancy-those traits and elements
which the womanhood of America
can acknowledgements Column.
