THE RESPONSIBILITY OF VOTERS.

Our civiliZati ton is now in the throes
OF a monster struggle which threatens
the very foundation of the govern
ment, and the danger of defeat lies in
our being misled, cheated and deluded
by apathy and insensibility, from
which we must arouse with alacrity
If our country is to be saved from an
archy and destruction. Nothing now
can save the country from the DESC
lating curse of alcoholic poisoning but
moral and political rev olution, which
must come soon. Patriotism, inspir-
ed by high and noble desires for our
country's welfare, justly demands the
vigorous policy of Prohibition. The
liberation and legal protection given
to the malignant moral cancer of alco-
holic poison show the governments
base betrayal of the peoples inter-
ests; this is seen in the vile use made
of the sovereign power delegated to
the government for the protection of
the life and health of it's citizens. This
power is now being ANONYMOUSLY used
and prostituted by the government to
encourage it's worst enemies in de-
stroyiDg the virtue and property, even
the very lives, of the people. Ger
tainly, no moral turpitude of injury
can equal this enormity, and there is
no treason so dangerous as this sub
serviency of the government to the
liquor traffic. 1t is worse than ac-
quiesence in the crime and injury, or
even being accessory to it; it is actu-
al participation in the diabolical work
of enticing people to their own de-
struction. And who but the voters
are most responsible for this? This is
the important question now before
the country, and it can not be much
longer ignored or evaded. Moral
principles must be applied to the ma
chinery of politics in government,
and the people must be made to real
ize their own duplicity, as we'll as the
treachery of the liquor fraternity. 1t
is their votes that make the govern
ment, therefore all the real response
bility rests on the voters.-Demorest's |

The street-paving in Canton, Chi
ma, was Of loose granite slabs laid
crosswise, about nine inches broad
and six through, and as long as the
street was wide. Although present.
ing a somewhat irregular surface, the
face OF each slab was generally worn
smooth by the treading OF unshod feet
A drain ran down the centre of each
street, under the granite slabs, into
which, between the joints, percolated
rain water, fluid refuse, and house
Stops. These liquids ran out into the
main tidal canals which intersected
the city, and when they did not run,
as was not infrequent, the slabs were
raised, and the drains cleaned out.

A small school-bo in Detroit, who
was addicted to writing rhymes, wrote
the following about his teacher, whose
name was Blodgett:
ga little mOusie ran up stairs
To hear Miss Blodgett say her pray'rs."
Upon finding what he had written,
the teacher informed him that, unless
in three minutes he could make up
another rhyme equally good, she
would punish him by whipping him
on the hands. She timed him by the
clock, informing him at the end Of
each minute, and asking him if he had
a verse, and was each time met with
the word ''No" for an answer When
the third minute was up, she told him
to hold up his hand; but instead he
said,-
"Here I stand before Miss Blodgett:
She's going to strike, and Pm going to
dodge it,"
He escaped a whipping by narrow
margin.

One who has tried it says thatwheat
crushed in cheap steel grinder
makes the best food for everything
from horses to chickens. Even the
dogs like it, this enthusiast declares.
AS to people well, there is nothing
better for breakfast than grains of
wheat that have been thoroughly
washed, dried and crushed in the
grinder, then boiled couple of hours
is cheap dish, and it is food for the
gods. If people would use more of it
in place Of their everlasting fried
pork and potatoes, they would be
handsomer and healthier.

Did you ever hold Il watch and see
for how many seconds you could keep
a stream Of air flowing into your
lungs? If not, make the test, aud
you will find that, no matter how
small the stream, you can not keep it
constantly flowing in for more than
fifteen, twenty, or possibly thirty
seconds; but if you will try two or
three times each day you can double
the time within two weeks. The boy
or girl who will try this and keep it
up regularly for a year will not be
likely to die OF consumption and
should they ever become public speak
ers Or singers they will be very thank
full that they commenced when young
to take ''lung baths" Harper's Young
People, in speaking about breathing
says: Did you ever think of taking a
lung bath? Ones lungs need cleans
ing as surely as do the hands and
face. This is especially true after one
has been in q crowded hall or church,
breathing in SO many impurities? How
can one take a lung bath? By simply
drawing a deep breath and then ex-
polling the air from her lungs. You
will feel wonderfully refreshed there
by and the general health will be inn
proved.

LADIES' COLUMN.
FOREHANDEDNESS IN HOUSE,
KEEPING.

One Of the secrets of being able to
have ones plans frustrated without
serious inconvenience is in being fore
| handed. Never allow work to accu-
mulate if it is possible to do it. Keep
| rythiug in such order that little
neglect will not show. Occupy spare
moments of the days that are not
very busy ones, in doing work a little
ahead of the time when it is actually
needed. Then one will be the mis-
tress, and not the slave, of her house
work, and the true work of the home
maker will be accomplished.
But one may even be a slave to the
idea of being forehanded; and many
housekeeper frets herself nearly to
death in order to keep everything
done ahead of time, SO that there will
be no accumulation Of work. 1t be-
comes almost a mania; and though
each seasons work is done so long
ahead of time that she could give
herself weeks of complete rest, she
seems only to get it done in order to
begin the next, and thus keeps her
self as much a slave to her house
hold work as if it were always behind
hand.
The only advantage in doing work
ahead of time is that one may do it
easily, and at such convenient times
that it will hardly seem to be work.
If the habit becomes so fixed that it
seems a necessity, the work has be-
come the master, and the mistress of
the house is the slave

Look after your deserted fire place.
1t offers great possibilities in a decor
alive way. At present it is the most
forlorn spot about the house. You
miss the brilliant glow of Goals, or the
merry crackle of burning logs, and
the Japanese umbrella, though ex-
tremely gay in tint and design, hides
in stiffest fashion the yawning gap
made by the absence of cold weather
cheeriness. If you live in the coun-
try, or just upon the suburbs of big
city, you will not have much trouble
to secure fresh-looking grasses and
bits of fourishing greenery, the only
outlay being a little time, strength
and energy.
You can fit up a fire place fernery
at a comparatively small cost by US
ing little judgment. Select your
ferns and let them be hardy ones.
The tender varieties are worthless.
You must first get box long enough
and wide enough to fit the fire place.
This rests on the floor. 1t is also pune
tured with several holes for drainage,
and shallow pan is placed under the
box to receive water. The front of
the box may be decorated in any way
preferred. Sometimes it is enameled
in pretty shade of green, and some
times decorated with brush and paints.
Fill the box nearly to the top with
rich soil, then plant your ferns. Vines
that thrive in the shadiest forest
hooks are the ones to select. Let
them be good runners, SO that they
may be trained to climb over the man
tel. Ivy is especially pretty for this
purpose.

Following are few brief extracts:
Here let us say to-day to young
persons, teachers and parents, is the
best key for unlocking our English
treasures. Let the youth read, read,
read. They read too little and their
parents and teachers read still less.
Take several good homo papers. A
taste for reading will thus be begot-

debauch the mind Of the young as the

filthy sheets which are thrown around
broadcast, and sold for few pennies,
do.
They are your best Language lessons,
let US repeat: Constant conversation
in the best possible English that can
be had, and reading your daily and
weekly papers and good literature.

WONAN'S ALLEGED INTUITION.

We find the chronological Journal
still bravely whacking away at the
ancient tradition ''that man learns
things by reasoning power, women by
intuition." "Women grasp truth by
intuition," quoth the P. J. ''Like the
fashlight photo, they get it and do
not exactly know how or why, only
they feel that it is true.'
1t appears to us that we have heard
something like this before. It hath
In ancient and fishlike smell. What
Everybody says ought to be true, yet
8 it? The fact is that we have yet to
Encounter the very first instance of
we'll defined feminine intuition and we
have been looking for it for long
ime. So far as our observation goes,
woman can be fooled more easily
han a man. The man uses his eyes,
is ears and his wits and learns by
What he suffers. The woman trusts
er fine feminine intuitions and gets
windled from the word go. Smooth
pngued adventurers cheat her out of
er property, and she trusts her male
elatives and they swindle Ter in the
anne way. She is the prey OF fortune
pliers and spirit mongers; she is gull
d by everybody, her own children
host of all.
Where, then, is that fine intuition
bat guides her unerringly? In brief,
is bosh. It won't do, ladies. Keep
