find his appetite, or seeking sensation,
grows in favor of his habit, until his
sensibility is disregarded and thus one
of the grandest foundations of his soul
is debased and lowered. 1t has been
noticed that mans appetite has often
been inherited and to this extent-the
possibility of inheritancy-we reflect
upon the ancestry of our race, and
view our responsibility to the coming
generation.
Under the consideration of the sem
sibility of a man we must view his sen.
timent, or his conception of ideas. We
can easily see now how alcohol debases
modesty, meekness, hope, sympathy,
pathos. sublimity and all kinds of cul-
tured emotions, and thus saps the vi
tality from the souls life. We have
but to mediate on the life Of drunk
ards whom we have seen to substanti-
ate this statement. 1t is to be classed
among the living axioms; yet it may be
defined from a physiological point of
view.
Alcohol debases the desires and af-
fections, and dwarfs the development
of sensibility which very largely go to
make up the sentiments of mantle
right arm of sensibility, which is the
pillar of the souls structure.
But alcohol Injuries that great facul-
ty of mans soul known as will, or his
power of self-direction. His involun-
tary actions, or those which occur
without his conscious determination,
are debased, and to this extent
we see mans will is affect
ed by his physical ability
or disability. By the use of alcohol
man loses much of his acquired will Of
mind His voluntary actions become
of lower class. His solicitations are
not what they otherwise would be, and
he develops his will downward-if this
metaphorical expression be allowed.
In the days of Homer the people may
have reveled in drinking to Pallas, the
goddess of art and science.
They sit rejoicing in her aid divine,
And the crowned goblet foams with floods Of
wine.
But now mans understanding of his
relation to his God demands that those
things which hinder the growth of his
spiritual life be laid aside, and the
prayer of 1894 is:
Stretch forth Thy hand, o God, our King,
And break the CALLING chain
Deliverance to the captive bring,
And end the usurper reign

THE POISON OF CIGARETTES.
why 1t Is that Boys Become the Victims
of the Deadly Paper Pipe.

The use of cigarettes is not merely
the use of tobacco, it is vice by it.
self. In reformatories where the cure
of the opium, alcohol and cigarette
habits is business, cigarette patients
are not restricted from smoking cigars
or pipes, which are regarded as COM
paratively harmless. The cigarette
works special evil of its own which
tobacco in other forms does not effect
This evil result may be due to drugs,
or to the paper wrappers, or to the
fact that the smoke of cigarettes is al
most always inhaled into the lungs,
while cigar smoke is not. As to that,
let the experts decide; about the fact
of the effect there is no doubt, and no
dearth of evidence. No other form of
tobacco eats into the will as cigarettes
do. The adult man can carry off
a good deal of poison of one kind or
another without disaster, and his duty
being fixed and his will formed, he is
usually able to make his minor vices
subservient to his more important obi
cations. And so it happens that it is
matter of constant observation in
clubs, and wherever there are intelli-
gent men who allow themselves all the
creature indulgences that they dare,
that these experienced persons are con-
stantly swearing off" cigarettes for
longer or shorter periods. and smoking
cigars instead. The cigarette fetter be-
gins to gall, and they fling it off. But
young boys do not do that. They have
not discretion enough, for one thing,
and, for another, cigars cost too much
for them, and can not be smoked sur
reptitiously in a spare moment. 1t is
the Internal cheapness of the cigarette
and its adaptability for concealment
that tempt the schoolboy's 'callow in
telligence.-Harper's Weekly.

BIDDIE ON THE NEST.

1t is very interesting to see the little
tots with their aprons full of brightly
tc2lored eggs.
&Ehere is another pretty way Have
tbs coiored eggs just the same, but
make nest and have Biddie sitting on
it. To do this, take round box, cover
with white-fringed tissue paper, line
neatly, have cover just to fit, make a
white tissue paper hen and stuff with
a little cotton wadding. Glue her to
the top and fill in all around her with
fringed tissue paper. Paint her comb
red, her bill yellow. On Easter morn
ing set her on the breakfast table, and
hear what shouts the children will
give when told to lift Biddie off and see
if she has laid them an egg.
In number of Sunday-schools last
year colored eggs were given to each
child in the infant department, and
they pleased wonderfully. These eggs
should be hard boiled, so that if by ac-
cident one should be broken no harm
will be done to clothing or furniture.

Eagle Caught by a Dog.

An Oregon farmer was returning
from meeting one Sunday morning
when his dog started in pursuit of
something on the other side of wire
fence inclosing a pear orchard. The
farmer jumped over the fence and, to
his surprise, saw an eagle just spread
ing it's wings to fly. The dog immedi-
ately fastened on to the birds leg and
the farmer seized it around the neck.
For few minutes there was ire
mendous scuffe, but the bird was final
ly scared or choked into submission
and it's legs and wings tied with a sec
ton of the wire fence Then the
farmer carried his capture home, put
it in cage and now proudly exhibits

Tidal Lake in Western Tennessee.

Reelfoot lake, in western Tennessee,
one of the most remarkable bodies
of water in the United States. 1t is
popularity supposed to have a subter-
ranean source from the Mississippi
river, it having no visible outlet or in
let, but the evidence seems to be de-
cidedly against this theory. There is
a considerable area in the center where
no line has yet been found long enough
to touch bottom. 1t is not affected by
the rise and fall of the river, but has a
tide corresponding with that of the
sea. The oldest settlers can remem-
Der when the land where the lake is
now was fertile farm. One night
there was an earthquake, distinctly
felt, but doing very little damage to
the surrounding country. The next
morning the land was gone, and Reel
foot lake was there and has been there
ever since. 1t is one of the most noted
fishing resorts in tho south.-St. Louis

ton was asked of Il boy ten years old:

SALOONS are hoppers into which our

hardly recognize them, because they
are so badly Scared and disigured

THE Massachusetts, hospital for in
ebriates and dipsomaniacs received one
hundred and siXty-one cases last year
One hundred and twenty-four were
committed by the courts. Each CON-
mitment was for two years.
THE decline of drinking at London
dinner parties is attributed to the fact
that champagne is now usually the
only wine served, it having banished
claret and replaced the old port that
used to appear with the dessert. AS
result guest is now contented with
few glasses of champagne, where his
grandfather used always to consume
one and sometimes, as Pitt did, even
three bottles of port at dinner.

AN ALPHABET PARTY.
Unique Entertainment in Honor of
Child's First Steps in Learning.

Unique Entertainment in Honor of q
Child's First Steps in Learning.
A children's party that will be given
for the first time in this country is be-
ing arranged by the wife of one Of
the Central American ministers to the
United States.
1t certainly ought to capture the
fancy of United States parents, for
they always take pride in displaying
the early learning of their babies
The party is called the Alphabet
party" and is to be given in honor Of
the minister's second child, and will
take place as soon as the children can
go ont of doors in their new white
party frocks without catching cold.
Madame explained its meaning. In
the country from which they hail the
alphabet party is always an event in a
child's life, and there is gentle
among friendly mothers as to
the age at which their children are en-
titled to the right to the party.
As soon as a little boy or girl has
mastered the alphabet thoroughly the
party occurs to celebrate the child's &C.
complishment. The table is decorated
with pretty boxes and souvenirs for
the little guests which are always
made at home. The little cakes have
letters in frosting or are made in the
shape of A B C's, and the alphabet
figures in all sorts of devices.
The little hero or heroine has to con-
vince the guests that he is master of
the letters, and then comes the inter-
esting event of the occasion.
There is little balloon at hand
waiting. The little alphabet book out
of which the tiny senior or senorita has
learned the letters is shut up in the bal
loon or tied to it, and the balloon is
then set a-fying, and if the alphabet
is thoroughly mastered the balloon
will bear the book far away, and that's
the last the little son or daughter is
supposed to need of it.
The children themselves are in
hurry for their alphabet parties, and
the mothers, of course, delight to get
ahead of other mothers even by few
weeks.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
TIE TEMPTER'S SNARE.

Let me tell you tonight of my boy that fell
In the tempter's cruel snare,
n hoy had guarded so long and we'll
with tenderest love and care
pruned and nodded his childhood years.
aud counseled his manhood with hopes and
fears.
Oh, was proud of my beautiful boy,
As proud as mother could be.
OF his noble nature and manly worth,
And his loving care for me.
We were bound together for woe or veal
Bound together with bands OF steel
Ny 10y went out in the world at last;
Out us all boys must go.
For the loving hearts in the dear home nest
Can not keep them for aye, you know,
For the harvest waits and the reapers are few,
And the world has need Of the strong and true.
My boy went forth with purpose high
All things that were great to win,
But ruin waited with smiling face
In the gilded haunts of sin
Go where he would, upon every side
The doors of temptation were open wide.
The light streamed forth with rudy glow,
And the wine in the glass was red,
But the demon that lurl1ed in the ruby cup
To death ami destruction led.
And the boy had reared with love and prayer
Fell into the tempter's gllttering snare.
My boy came back to me once again,
Back to the dear home nest
Back to my empty, outstretched arms,
Back to my sheltering breast
Too late for my love or my prayers to save
My boy lies low in a drunkard's grave.
Oh, mothers in happy, unbroken homes,
My boy was but one to fall
My heart but one mothers heart to break,
There is danger for one and all
With the doors OF the wine shops open wide
There is death and destruction every side
Oh, listen and heed my prayer,
And help me prolong the cry
We must close the doors that entice our boys
We must save them or see them die
For OH there are brave, bright boys by scores,
Going daily down through those open doors.
Lizzie Clark Hardy, in Western Rural
