should he norestraint upon ones desire
further than the inability to crafty
them. A third cause is given as the
cigarette, it being stated that many
more young and middle-aged women
than we have dreamed of having ac-
CURED fancy or fashion for the use
of this vile little article, and its use
creates thirst, and the thirst which
only strong drink slakes. There are
instances, too where the dreadful evil
has been brought about by the pre-
scription of physicians, the invalid thus
having the habit established before
being aware of what is done. But these
| instances are few in comparison to the
number of those which result from the
apparently innocent glass taken at the
table or elsewhere. The taste once
formed, it may be INDUCED with all the
other tastes, at table or on the shop
ping tour or in the publicity of the
restaurant or in the privacy of the
bOudoir, where trouble or depression of
any sort causes the stimulant to be re-
sorted to with a hope that its tenn
pOrary eXhilaration will tide over the
gloom.
There may be women in middle life
and in old age with whose physician
and whose conscience it may be
question whether or not they need the
building and sustaining power of a
stimulant. But it is eviden5 from
facts to be had at first hand
by any who will investigate them
that the young woman, and most
especially the young woman of
a nervous temperament, should avoid
| intoxicating drinks as she would
| avoid poison. 1t should again be good
form, as it was fifty years ago, for the
young woman at the dinner-table not
merely to touch her lips to the glass in
courtesy, but to decline it altogether.
These are perilOus times; all the cir
cumstances of life are rapid, exhaust
| ing, nerve-draining. The great stress
under which we live occasions a degen-
Grafton of the nerves, and the swiftest
and easiest resource then is the Stimu-
liant. knowing this, knowing that
young girls are liable to such degen-
Grafton, it becomes doubly important
that they should be sheltered by the
force of a public opinion which may
make it at any rate difficult for them
to begin the drinking habit in its most
insidious and delicate first approaches

A DISEASE OF THE NERVES.
Reasons for the Growing Use of Stimulants
Among Women.and Its Disastrous Effects

Reasons for the Growing Use of stimulants
Among Womenand Its Disastrous Effects.
1t is said by those in position to
know that it is of no use to disguise
the terrible fact that intemperance is
more frequent among women than it
has ever been before. more general,
and more ruinous, to the point of phys
zeal and mental mortality.
According to the police and the hos
pital returns, the increase has been
small but steady. This has been among
a class of women from whom one does
not expect the best. But according to
the statements of physicians the in
crease is large among those from whom
one does expect the best.
1t makes us shudder to hear the
facts in the case, to listen even to the
suggestions concerning its causes, one
supposition being that suddenly ac-
quircd wealth, giving people the OPP
portunity of going through life at
great pace, makes it necessary that
they should resort to whip and spurs
to maintain the gait-that is, that hav-
ing money they must and will spend it
fast, and spending it fast engenders
pleasures to whose enjoyment the
strength is not equal without the help
of the exciting and stimulating drink
Another cause is said to be the preva-
lent absence of both religious and moral
sentiment the disdain for everything
that can not be seen or felt, the reign
of pure reason or realism, the custom
OF considering that if one wants thing
one should have it, and that there

ONE Bitter WAS BITTEN.
The Second Hand Man Thought He Had
"Bonanza," but lie Was Fooled.

A dapper young man walked into
secondhand clothing store in Sixth
avenue, near Eighth street, and IN
rolled from a package pair of sum
mer trousers. AS he threw them on
the counter, the buckle or something
else made noise in striking that at
tracted the attention of the dealer.
GLOW much will you give me for
these?' asked the dapper man.
Late in the season for summer
goods" answered the dealer, as he
held up the trousers for examination
and slipped his hands in the pockets as
he did so.
"Well, how much?" asked the man.
"Twenty-five cents is all they are
worth
Then roll them up. | will give them
to some poor fellow before selling them
for that"
Let me see, said the storekeeper,
as he turned them over and thrust his
hand in the left pocket. well, call it
fifty cents"
Roll them up. l won't take less
than three dollars"
Three dollars!" exclaimed the mer-
chant. That will buy new pair
"All right. Roll them up"
''Well, my friend, considering il is
you, will give you three dollars"
The money was paid, the seller
walked out and the purchaser went to
the back of the store and from the left
pocket of the trousers took a wad OF
paper and two old-fashloned pennies.-

Inroads This Health Giving Temperance
Drink Is Making on Old Lager.
Buttermilk seems likely to equal, and
perhaps rival, beer as a popular drink
A Pittsburgh paper reports the proprie-
tors of one of the largest bars in the
city as saying recently: IF the de-
mand for buttermilk increases each
year as in the last few years, it will
soon be rival to beer as a popular
drink" He added: Never before has
the demand for this cooling beverage
been so great as it is this year 1t
is not heralded and advertised by
signs in the saloons, for the reason
that there is more money in beer New
ertheless. one would be surprised at
the large quantities consumed. One
bar gets away with ten gallons day,
while another that | know of uses six
gallons. 1t is the greatest bugbear to
the bars now, and the demand makes
them keep it, no matter how they may
seek to hold it in the background. 3"
All hail to this health-giving drink; it
will make good ally to temperance
reform. Rams Horn.

ONE-SIDED ADVICE.
The Men of the Family Need Look Pleas
ant, Too.

The Men of the Family Need Look Pleas
ant. Too.
Women are always being told how
they should behave when the man OF
the house comes home; they are adj
vised to be cheerful and well dressed,
no matter how tired they feel, and in
all ways to make the homecoming
bright and pleasing, putting the an
noyances out of sight and presenting
to the view of the lord and master only
the best side, when in reality there has
been much to veX and worry, and which
if told to a sympathizing husband or
father would not seem half 50 burden
some.
This advice is hackneyed, and seldom,
if ever, is there a word said about the
behavior of the self-same men, whom
women are supposed to please, even at
the expense of their own feelings. How
many men, even though they do find
their wives looking sweet and pretty to
welcome them, ever tell them so? They
take the good looks, the pleasant smile
and the womanly courtesy as their
right and never think that it would
please their life partners to have some
pleasant little complimentary speech
made to them, as in the olden days
before my lord the head of the house,
was quite so sure of them.
Then, again, woman is told to keep
herself well informed, so that she may
be able to enter into mental companion
ship with her husband. Some men, per-
haps, sit up and talk or keep awake long
enough to read about few chapters
from some widely discussed novel, but
too many find it impossible for them to
keep awake when once the comfortable
slippers and Longing jacket are
donned. In many families the repre-
sentative evening is the one which the
husband dOzes on the couch, and the
wife reads or sews in undisturbed and
maddening silence.
A man will argue in refutation of
these statements that the wage-earner
is tired and needs rest. Granted that
he does, then let hi IN be just and not
expect too much from his wife, whose
day is far more wearing and veXatiOus
than his own If he likes to see his wife
dressed up let him pay particular at
tcntion to the niceties of his own toilet
If he expects her to be well informed
let him prove himself to be a compan-
ion who can talk and help her by
pleasant interchange of thought. 1t
isn't fair to demand SO much in a wo-
man and pass over such glaring defects
in man. -Philadelphia Times,

A PAGE AT COURT.
What He Saw and Did When Napoleon
Was Emperor.


Was Emperor.
1t was a new life into which this i'm
pcrial appointment plunged the active
boy of fourteen. 1t was discipline, and
yet it was delightful; it was slavery,
and vet it was splendor; there was
labor to tire both feet and brain; there
were long hours of monotony, but
many opportunities for pranks and
frOlics. 1t was run here and run there;
it was do this and do that; it was not
soldering, and yet it had its conflicts;
it was not call for courage, and yet
it was duty joined to temptation and
tried by opportunity. The life of a
page OF the palace was not all play,
though passed in the midst of splendor:
nor was it all dignity, though spent in
a constant round of fete and ceremo-
NAL.
And into fete and ceremonial young
Philip DesnOuettes was speedily intro
duced. 1t was the year 1910. In that
year Napoleon, the emperor, married
the Archduchess of Austria. The son
of poor Corsican lawyer welded the
daughter of the Austrian Caesars. 1t
was year of brilliancy, of excitement,
of restless rounds of display and con-
slant repetitions of marvellous enter
taiumentS.
Never was boy of fourteen sur
mitted to be a part of more royal
''goings on" All this might ruin a boy
of weak nature; but Philip was blessed
with IA cool head, a well-balanced mind
and much common sense. lie had cut
his wisdom teeth as a street boy of
Paris; he had learned discipline in the
school of st. Cyr; and so. though often
sorely tried and many a time in scrapes
and in disgrace, he was too manly a
fellow to lose his head and 50 he
was really developed as well by the
temptations as by the duties that filed
his Gaily life in those most brilliant
surroundings-the court of the First
Empire.
As page of the palace he was on
duty both at the splendid Tuileries and
at beautiful st. Cloud. And through
| the month of March there was enough
poing on in both these great palaces to
tire any ordinary boy and keep his head
awhirl with bewildcrment. For then
il vas that Paris and the palaces were
making ready for the reception of the
new mistress of France, the girl en-
press. Marie Louise Of Austria.
Philip could not understand 1t all
| Austria had been red rag to every
| French boy since the days of Marie An
toinette And, at st. Cyr, Philip had
been brought up to hate the Austrians,

COOKS AND lNTOXlCANTs.


Reasons For the Widespread Use OF Liquors
Among the Professional Glass.
''You ask if she is a drinking wom-
an, ma'am?' said the proprietor of
restaurant to a lady who had inquired
about the character of a cook. "Whv,
yes, to be sure, she has her sprees; bat
she always sobers up enough to do her
work well. | gave her a recommended
ton as a frst-class cook, and didn't
think it necessary to say anything
about her drinking, for they nearly all
drink. They need it to keep them
selves up, because they swallow so
much hot air. We give them spirits on
principle, and other houses do the
same"
Various reasons have been given for
the intemperance of this class. 1t is
said to be due to the tasting of sauces,
etc, favored with spirits; to the lack
of appetite which the constant sight
and odor of cooking produce, and the
consequent necessity for stimulants to
give strength to continue work; or to
the exhaustion of the system by the
high temperature, which produces a
craving for spirits. Whatever the cause,
it is pitiable to know that many con-
tract habits that blight their lives and
entail a miserable old age.
Women who cook for small families.
and whose work is not eXhausting, are
not specially prone to the excessive use
of stimulants. The trouble is with
those, who, in hotels, restaurants,
large boarding houses, etc, are in the
kitchen and over the stove from morn
ing to night. Undoubtedly, there are
temperate women among these, but
many are intemperate N. Y. Tribune.
