FATEEES AND SONG.

The children OF inebriates furnish large
proportion Of tho infant mortality which is
u disgrace to our civilization. Such children
begin with an unstable nervous system,
which may express itself as the drink-crave
itself; and in addition, all the nervous all
ments, for example, idiocy, infantue con-
vulsions, epilepsy, neuralgia hypocbondria,
hysteria, paralysis, insanity. or it may ex-
press itself in other ways. But even then.
they suffer, though innocent. The parents
intemperance is represented in them, and
will be for generations to come, by ailments
which are called by respectable names gout,
dyspepsia, nerves and legion! But it is but
seldom that the children of the Incorporate
can break down the influence of the sad en-
vironment in which they have grown up.
The evil that men do lives after them. The
children OF such parents are almost sure to
be saddled with diseases and tendencies d.
rectly resulting from their parents habits

A Cycle That Drives Itself.

The latest conception of the inven-
tive geniuses who cater to the require
ments of the wheel world is the motor
cycle. The novelty is intended to take
the place of buggies and carriages,
and is designed to be of service at all
seasons of the year, and in every kind
of going.
The tires are fully four inches in
diameter, and vibration is reduced to
a minimum. The motive power is
produced by coal oil, and as soon as
the rider takes his seat securely the
machine does the rest. A gallon OF
oil will drive the single seat motor
200 miles, while twice the quantity
will send the new four-wheeled con-
trivance similar distance with three
passengers aboard
The four-wheeler seems destined to
long lease of popularity. 1t prac-
tically consists of two ladies' bicycles
connected by carriage seat in which
three passengers can seat themselves
comfortably. The speed can be con-

WITHOUT WINE SAUCE.

The following suggestive incident, given in
the New York Evangelist, serves to show
how much We may help or hinder another,
quite unconsciously it may be, by our ex-
ample:
"A young man sat at hotel table with O
gentleman and lady friend for whom he
felt the greatest respect. The waiter said to
the gentleman: will YOU have pu 1ding with
wine suuce?' Yes, was the answer. The
young mans craving for strong drink was
aroused at the mention Of the wine sauce,
and he also was about to reply aff1rmatively
10 the walters question when his lady friend
quickly said Pudding without wine sauce. If
You please Without wine sauce came
the ycung mans reply.
"Afterward. in the parlor, he said to her {:
Il want to thank you for doing me great
favor She looked astonlshed. You do not
know what it meant to me when you said OF
the dinner table, Pudding without wine
sauce, if ycu please" He then told her his
struggle against strong drink and how near
he had come to falling, saved only BY her
timely example"
The uniform example OF abstinence from
all use OF intoxicants on our part can harm
no one and may help any.-Temperance

EXPERIMENT AND EXPERIENCE.

At recent meeting in England. Sir Zen.
!amin Ward Richardson. N. D.. reviewed
the position taken by him twenty-five years
ago with reference to alcohol, which may be
summed up as follows:
II can no more accept it as food than I
can chlorotorm, or ether o. methylal. That
alcohol produces temporary excitement is
true, but as its general action is to reduce
animal heat cannot see how it can supply
animal force. l can see clearly how it re-
duces animal power, and can show a reason
for using it IN order to stop physical pain,
or to stupehy mental pain but that it gains
strength, that it supplies material for con-
struction OF tissue, or throws force into t!s-
sues supplied by other material-nust be
an error as solemn as it is Widespread. The
true character OF alcohol IS that It Is an
agreeable temporary shToud. To resort for
force 10 alcohol is, to my mind, equivalent
to the act OF searching tor the sun IN suoter-
ranean gloon, until all IS night.
'Tnese were the words OF 1863" said the
learned scientist, land now that quarter of
a century has elapsed since they were writ

out prejudice, without indifference, but with
observation and research maintained up to

reason for changing one idea or ono word.
have, however, something 10 add. spoke,
in 1860 on experiment without personal ex-
perien:e. ! have been led by what / may
call personal experiment, to confirm the past
on the present, and after twenty-five years
have come to tho distinct conclusion, uE-
hesitatingly and undoubtedly expressed,
that By abstinence have lost nothing. re-
tained everything, and gained much. Prac-
tice has sustained theory. and experience eS-
pertinent. When had overcome the physio.
logical difficulties continucd.f for some time
to apply what had originally learned TO
the treatment OF disease, using alcohol as at
least an exceptional remedy. Gradually 1t
dawned upon me that the error here might
be rs great as the error relating 20 health
and alcohol. When the London Temper.
ance Hospital was opened 10 me I obtained
field such as had never had before tor
scientific obseryation-with the result that
700 acute cases have come under my care,
disease of the most varied kinds and acutesi
in character, all of which have been treated
without any recourse to alcohol or to any
thing that may be called substitute Tor 1t.
Recoveries from severest diseases are a.
good, If not better, under this method, thar
under the old one, and convalescence is un
questionably advanced. The truth, in short
holds good all through, that that which Il
best in health Is best also in disease, and

move from your reach alcohol as medl-
cine, should answer, There is not a medi

An American Girl's Badge Of Bravery.

Miss Jennie Creek, who is the
Youngest person probably who was
ever decorated by the French Order
of the Legion of Honor, is a half or

Samuel Personett, near Millgrove,
Blackford County, Ind. She is one of
five poor children, whose father is
woodsman, near Gilman, Ind. She
is only ten years old.
On September 10, 1893, when she
ran down the track waving her little
apron to stop Pennsylvania train
loaded with people returning from
the Worlds Fair, that WAS rushing
toward a burning bridge, she was
barefoot and half.clad. Her foster
parents were laboring in a field, and
also barefoot. With disheveled hair

her through the car. The women
petted her and the men gave her

Some Sound Advice.
Hon. Henry q. Turner spoke at Reds
vile yesterday TO between three and four
hundred people, the majority being demo
Gratis. Judge Gamble adjourned court at
noon in order 10 allow Mr.. Turner the
use of the court house. The crowd lis
tened very attentvely 10 MIR Turner for
an hour and half, and the address evil
IDENTIFY had good effect.
MIR. Turner dwelt especially upon the
TACT that the Democratic party had but
recently come into power. and was now
endeavorlng 10 put into effect the reforms
which had been promised for so many
years. This being the case, Judge Turner
said, it would be utter folly for the demo-
Gratis to desert the party now at this most
critical moment. He also discussed the
silver question upon the same line as that
taken by him in his speech at the thea
ter IN Savannah on the night before Mr.
Turner returned TO Savannah from Reds
vile last night and stopped at the De
Soto. He will leave for his home in QUIT

vote for the democratic nominees for gov
