Our Ninety Years Old Leader.

b' fhANtES L. WILLARD.
The United Kingdom alliance and Brit
ish Womens Temperance association, of
England, have taken up the suggestion
made by the Worlds and National w. c.
L. u, for general observance In the in
terest Of temperance reform. of March 20,
1894, the ninetieth birthday of Gen. Neal
Dow, the father of prohioitory law 1t is
hoped by those who have combined to
bring forward this proposition, that tenn
perance societies in all parts of the world
| will give 1t their endorsement, each con-
| Quoting the celebration according to his
own Judgment and opportunity, and all
sending congratulations to our grand old
man.. 1t is needless to say that this
would be done not only for the purpose OF
| honoring this heroic leader in the temper
ance reform, but with the expectation that
the principles of total abstinence for the
individual and total prohibition for the
State, would thereby be brought before
the public in great many localities and 4
variety of ways, the outcome of the effort
being the advancement of the principles to
which we are all alike deyoled. The " .
{. I. L. has always taken an attitude Of
friendly cooperation with other temper
ance societies, and feel confident that in
The present instance We shall not lack the
sympathy and endorsement of Christian
and temperance workers.

PHoNoGRAPH AS A PROMOTER.

1t Is Used in the South Seas to Gain Re-
,.va cruits Among the Natives.
When one of the Australian squadron
was patrolling the South seas lately
she came up with sailing vessel, and
one of her officers boarded the stran-
ger. She proved to be colonial craft
engaged in recruiting Kanal1as for the
Queensland plantations. On board the
naval officer noticed phonograph. He
was told that before the vessel left
Queensland the captain visited some of
the sugar plantations where South Sea
islanders are employed.
He took Il camera and a photograph
and then he went into the business of
photographing groups of natives on the
plantations. also taking individual pic
lures of wcll-known natives from the
New Hebrides, and others from the Sol
then brought into service. the best
known of the natives, especially those
who have relatives and friends in the
islands, being asked to speak into the
phonograph anything they would like
to tell their friends. Large numbers
Of these Photographed letters We're pro-
cured, giving accounts of what sort of
life the Kanakas were having on the
plantations and any other news that
would interest the ''old folks at home"
at Mallicollc, Ambrym, San Christoval,
Malaita and other islands.
After securing good supply the in
-1, 1DI 81
ands and when last seen was astonish-
ing the natives. Many of the photo
graphs he had transferred to glass for
use with the limeglass, and with the
photographs and the phonograph he
was in position to give such an ocular
exhibition of life on plantation that
fairly changed the native doubts into
an enthusiastic desire to emigrate. Nor
was this all. At the limelight show
he could produce IL full-sized picture of
an absent friend, u native who was
we'll known in the island in which the
shipmaster happened to be, and to the
amazement of his duslly audience would
make him speak words of greeting from
his plantation home in Bundaberg-one
thousand miles away.
II any mlsg1v1ngs were felt before
the phonograph was produced that be-
witched machine dispelled them by
making the limelight figure of their
friend address the natives in their own
tongue. and in the same voice they
knew so we'll when he dwelt among
them. Needless to say, the phonograph
has proved a valuable recruiting acces-
sory.-Sydney Mail.

NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.
Timely Hints OH What IL Being Worn b,
Women.

A stylish and very becoming dress
has plain skirt in bell-shape with ii
drapery covering one side and the up
per portion of the front breadth. This
drapery and all the seams are trimmed
with a narrow fancy-woven galloon in
black. The skirt material is darli-bIue,
the waist is of black velvet with blue
collar and bands of velvet ribbon down
the fronts The eg-o'mutton sleeves
have deep cuffs of blue braided with
black. Shoulder rutfies of black lace
extend to the waist-line, back and
front.
The fashion for dressing the hair
seems to be tending toward conccaling
the ears. Some of the new fashion
plates have the hair in fluffy mass
that covers the ears altogether; others
merely show !he tips. The hair is much
more puffed out than heretofore, and
the prediction Is made that any amount
of false hair will become necessary.
A stylish blouse is made on the old
time Norfolk plan, with wide. Hat
plaits. There are bishops sleeves and
very wide reverS of moire, Il inoire
belt and collar with narrow gnlloon
trimming.
A round hat is trimmed with hut
terfy bow exactly in front. The effect
is somewhat psuliar. us the loops of
the bow ut sone distance resemble
ears.
Dresses of black and tan arc all III,
rage. Black velvet with tan-coiored
cloth. or vice versa. makes an exceed,
ingly effective costume.
Waists of fancy silk, the fronts shirred
in at the sh ,ulders and waist-line. are
worn witt, skirts in black and all col
ors.
A pretty turban has trimming OF
satin loops and ostrich tips. One
rather long plume curls back over the
hair.
The sailor hat seems to he u sort OF
perennial. 1t differs but little from
those worn some seasons back,--N \
