FACTS AND FINDINGS.

In Damascus drunken men are called
victims of ''the English disease"
THIS increasing alcoholic insanity
involves untold misery in many a home.
SUPERINTENDENT HUFFoRD of High
School No. / of Indianapolis recently
suspended four boy pupils, whose ages
range from fifteen to eighteen years,
on the ground of drunkenness.
So MANY accidents have been traced
to drunken employees on the Trans
Andes line in Chilli that the directors
have decided to discharge anyone who
shall be caught under the influence OF
liquor.
THE discovery has been made by a
German psychologist that the milk of
inebriate mothers contains a small
amount of alcohol, and it is his belief
that such mothers communicate to their
offspring desire for stimulates.
BEFORE a native liquor shop in Cal.
cutta seven carts loaded with Glasgow
whisky were recently unloaded. Scot
land sends noble missionaries to India
but their work is largely undone by
Scottish "fre-water."
PROF. ]. ]. MCCooK, who has been
investigating the subject thoroughly,
says that of the German, American
and British tramps whom he has inter-
viewed, sixty-three per cent are con-
fessedly Incorporate. He recommends
uniform laws in every state, commit
ting drunkards and Migrants to places
of detention, where they shall be COM
peeled to work.
AS GROUND for instrncting athletes
to abstain from alcohol while train
ing, Benjamin Ward Richardson says
ut will undermine all the qualities on
which you depend for success; will in
jure your precision, your decision,
your presence of mind, and your en-
durance." From this it would follow
that no one should use alcohol in
whose business precision, decision,
presence of mind, and endurance are

Very useful dresses for morning
wear in spring and for travelling and
the seashore in summer are of dark
mohair, blue, brown or gray of the
coarse weave so much used a few years
ago. This is lightweight fabric with
smooth lustrous surface that sheds
dust and water, In navy blue it will
rival the serges and sackings that are
used for steamer, boating and other
outing dresses. Paris tailors make
these gowns more deliberately than
those brought from London, having a
long English overskirt caught up on
the left side and trimmed above a
hem with a row of black satin ribbon
an inch wide overlaid with a vine of
ecru lace. The silk petticoat disclosed
by the draping is four yards and a half
wide, with a anticipated ruffie six
inches deep around it, bordered with
the black ribbon and lace vine. A long
coat of the mohair reaches to the knee
and is fitted in the back with loose
and open fronts. The side forms ex-
tend in pointed basques edged with
ribbon and lace. Short revers and a
turned over collar are similarly
trimmed, but the gigot sleeves are
plain. This is worn over shirt waist
of silk like the petticoat in ombre
stripes of pink and brown, a charming
contrast to the blue of the gown

A Stays Extraordinary Adventure.

The hounds of the Templemore hunt
were in full cry over splendid country
three miles from Thurles, when stag
ran into the grounds of Lieut-Col. Fitz-
gibbon Trant, gentleman well known
in Dublin, and, approaching the house
at top speed, dashed through one of
the lower thick plate-glass windows.
Although the animal was of good size,
he made hole in the glass little more
than the breadth of his antlers, and
had to rise five feet from the ground to
get through. When inside the richly
carpeted dining-room he roamed about
in search, apparently, not of a means
of escape, but of hiding.place. He
got away, however, without scratch,
and beyond alarming the household
and destroying the glass no further
damage was done. -Westminster Ca

A MATCH MAKER.
How Alonzo Stubs Married OF All of His
Daughters.

Daughters.
Many man fails to do just the
right thing at exactly the right time
because there is lacking the impalpa-
BILE something to suggest a thought
along the proper line. Then again
there are others who lack the element
of introspection and who fail to OBJ
serve in anything about them a spirit
which, applied to life's purpose, acts
as force to move them on toward a
desired goal.
But Alonzo Stubs was not that sort
of a man. He was a poor but worthy
citizen, with seven grown-up daugh-
ters. He tried to dress them we'll, but,
despite the fact that they made their
dresses over every season, and re-
trimmed their hats, and economical in
every possible way, the father felt
that he could, without any real sacrl-
fee on his part, spare few of them as
wives for promising but seemingly
hesitating young men.
One day last winter Alonzo saw an
advertising clock that presented a
new placard to the observer every five
minutes. 1t struck Alonzo with a
forceful suggestiveness. He bought
one like it and arranged some placards
to suit his own needs and wishes.
The next Sunday evening he had it
fastened against the parlor wall, di-
rectly opposite to where the sofa stood.
Reginald was just seating himself be-
side RoXiana when a tiny bell rung and
the following lines flashed into view;
LET those love now who never loved before,
And those who always love now love the more. -
The young people laughed at the
happy arrangement the father had de-
vised, and drew nearer each other.
Presently the bell rang again, and
'Gas Bills Are Getting Higher" met
| their gaze. They tried to laugh at
this, but the effort was almost fail
ure. However, they looked into each
| others eyes with seriousness they
had never exhibited before. The next
! placard-
A sorrow shared is but half trouble,
| But joy that's shared is joy made double
| pleased them immensely.
Here the bashful young man took hel
hand in his, something he had often
wished to do, but until then had never
mustered up sufficient courage tc
undertake. The next motto was les:
| poetic, but more to the point: Long
| Courtships Cost Money and Are Great
Waste of Time 1t was followed by
| Let us, then, be up and doing
| With a heart for any fate,
| Let's have done with endless wooing:
| Please propose or emigrate.
| In five minutes more the pledge hat
been made and Roxiana led her ac
copied lover from the room to make
way for her next younger sister anC
| her beau.

Stubs no longer wearing an ultra
marine expression on his face, but h,

ARTIFICIAL MARBLE.
One OF the Triumphs of Modern Chemistry
for Builders.

Marble is now so closely initiated by
chemical means that there is often
great difficulty in telling the imitation
from the natural stone. By d new
process limestones or chalk may be
converted into the nature of marble of
any tint or combination of shades,
while the specific gravity is increased.
On the surface of the water bath used
for the veining there is sprinkled a
varnish composed of ses-quioXide of
iron, gum and turpentine, and water
being unstable, freedom of design is
obtained, especially when the turpen-
tine is broken by the addition of soap.
After the stone is dipped in turpen-
tine. it is immersed in solutions of sui
phate of iron, copper or zinc, separate
or in combination. The difference in
shades is obtained by varying the
period of immersion, and the order of
tanks used. Copper and iron sulphate
give dark colors; zinc and iron alter
nately give light yellow, while the use
of the three consecutively gives dark
yellow and brown in variegated tints.
After being treated in the sulphate
baths the stone is immersed in a warm
water bath to fix the colors, all air be-
ing meanwhile expelled. The color is
said to permeate the full thickness of
the stone, which is afterwards dried in
an oven. The next step is an INNER
sion in an indurating bath of solution
of sulphate of zinc, which so closes up
the pores and hardens the stone that
it acquires nearly the density of nat
ural marble, and is then ready for pol
ishing in the ordinary way.-N. Y. Sun.

WASH NGroN, July 5.-It is the
general understanding that when the

The reso luton OF Senator Kyle, intro

WASHINGTON, July bit has been

monweal army intended to march into
Washington on the 4th and that the
leaders would again make an effort to
speak from the capitol steps. Yester-
day morning the army marched into
the city under the leadership of Carl
Browne, who had shaved of his
whiskers, dressed himself in woman's
clothes and represented liberty. He
rode horse sideways and was not
generally recognized until he began
a sneech at the foot of the Capitol
hill. He rallied at congress
and declared that liberty was dead.

horse, pretending death, and was at
once thrown into covered wagon
which the wealers had with them.
He emerged in a moment in mems
clothes and the army resumed its
march. Browne halted it at another
place, but was ordered to move on by
the police and it moved out OF town,

farce. There were about $50 men in
line, fourth of whom We're colored
men. 1t was observed that very few
