The man who lacks faith in his home is
detrimenJ and a curse TO the COM
munity. lie sees no bright and glowing
future, no clear sunlight, no progress, no
prosperity. Better a hundred times for
his home that he either die or move away,
lie hangs like milestone around the
necks OF those who have faith in their
homes. This faith is deeper than words
or professions, for to prove his faith he
digs up coin to help his town, district or
county. He believes things will be bet
ter by and by, that land will be worth
more, that greater variety of crops will
be grown and that more people Will come
to settle and build homes. Some men
ever live in the deep canyon of despond-
ency where the sunlight rarely pene-
trates, and think all the world is dark,
gloomy, dismal and sunless. Others live on
the hilltops and breathe the air Of progress.
They have faith in their homes and this
faith plants the tree and vine, uproots the
bush and stump and turns the brushy
hillside into blooming orchards and deep
green VINEYARDS.

Sir Benjamin Warde Richardson
mentions that he once Intercepted a
noted tight rope expert as to his art.
The acrobat stated that all good
trainers and skilled performers agree
that abstinence from alcoholic bever-
ages is absolutely necessary: His
advice to athletes is: $50 long as
you are in course of preparation
touch not the hurtful thing; it will
be sure to undermine all the qualities
on which you depend for success; it
will injure your precision, your decis-
ion, your presence of mind and your
endurance"
The cause of total abstinence re-
ceives this bit of testimony from the
Chicago Herald: ANY one coming
into contact with the swifter currents
of city life will learn that there are
hundreds OF men who abstain from
drinking, not because they have any
hatred for alcohol, but because they
have certain objects IN life, and have
learned by experience or observation
that the use of whisky would inter
fere with their plans. They are we'll
content that other men in their same
line of business, or those with whom
they deal, should drink, if they want
to drink, but as calculating sports
and spectators, they have gone over
the records and have decided that
the liquor habit is handicap"
The National Temperance Advo-
cate says: "The problem of hard
times will be solved when the work
ingmen of America boycott the
saloon, and stop drinking liquor.
About S4OO,OOO,OOO year goes into
the saloon from the hard earned
wages of workingmen. This money,
turned into the channels of industry
and commerce, would bring comfort
and happiness and plenty to millions
of households"

Notwithstanding that we have a
little warmer climate to play In than
our Canadian friends, the weather
here is admirably adapted for that
purpose. Lacrosse has all the ele-
ments of popularity and possesses
many OF the advantages of other games
without that element Of danger which
is found, for instance, in football. An
accidental blow from the light stick
with which the "crOsse' is fashioned
causes no serious hurt, and besides this
the chance OF an occasional fall, there
is nothing TO cause injury TO the
players

by one OF the most active members
of the Honolulu club, and who was
among the first to agitate in favor
of the new game:

curved at one end. Across the curve
of the stick stout network is stretched
extending halfway down its length.
To the spectator the sport presents
the appearance of combination of
football and hockey, with some strik-
ing variations from both. 1t is very
animated game, interesting to the
looker-on, aud highly exciting to
those engaged in the game. 1t re-
quires a large space of ground, not
less, as a rule, than 400 yards square,
and tolerabIy level. Toward the two
ends of this ground goal posts are
fixed, as in football, and the players
are divided into two parties, each hav-
ing its own goal. Each goal consists
of two poles, six feet high and six feet
apart, without top ornament. The
distance between the goals is optional,
depending upon the space OF ground
on which the game may be played,
and other conditions, either accidental
or the subject of agreement between
the contending parties.
The object pursued by either party
throughout the game is to drive the
ball through the opponents goal
that is, between the goal posts. This
done the game is over, having been
won by the side which accom-
u
The ball used is india-rubber, and
must not be more than nine or less
than eight inches in circumference.
1t must, as a rule, be touched only
with the "crose," and it may either
be struck with this Implement or car
ried upon it. The "crosse" is about
four feet long, the net work with
which it is provided being nearly
tight, but sufficiently loose to hold the
ball when resting on it. 1t is not
allowed to assume the shape Of bag.
Thus fashioned, the ball may be readily
picked up from the ground and carried
upon the "crosse or thrown from it
toward the opponents goal.
The principal players on either side
occupy the following stations: 1.

are called tue nelderS ana nave no
fixed position.
The game is commenced midway
between the two goals, the ball being
"struck off" by the captain Of both
sides. The struggle at once begins,
each side endeavoring, by striking
and following up the ball, to carry it
onward until their opponents goal is
reached; the other striving by every
means in their power to beat back the
ball and force it in turn into their OPP
ponents' ground.
Great agility and dexterity are re-
quired to play an efficient part in the
game. Fleetness of foot an quickness
of eye are the essential qualifications
of good player. When a player has
caught and is carrying the bail upon
his "crOsse," any player may strike
the ball from his stick with their own
weapon. Thus, at the moment when,
after long contest, he may be on the
point of winning the game by fling
of the ball, which he has obtained
with much difficulty, it may be jerked
or beaten out of his "crosse" in q con-
trary direction, and the struggle re-
newed as from the beginning.
AS played by the Canadians, who
adopt light and picturesque costume
for the purpose, the game as before
said becomes highly interesting to
the spectator. A player running at full
speed will frequently quickly catch up
the ball on the end of his ''crosse, "drop
it to the ground to battle a pursuer,
catch it again and repeat this until

for that reason may not take

to show the country how ridi-

made themselves by criticising

Carlisle's annual report is the

of the greenbacks and Treasury

Needless to say the idea is
not popular in Congress, and
that no step towards that end
will be taken at this ses ion.
Secretary Charlisle estimates
that the present tariff if let
alone will soon produce all the
revenue needed by the govern
ment but the republicans are
very likely to do some tariff
tinkering all the same, although
Speaker Reed would be very
willing to see this Congress let
the subject severely alone. But
the McKinleyites are determin-

be forced to the front, and it is
very doubtful whether Mr.. Reed
