CURIOUS INCONSISTENCY.
Total Abstinence Enforced on the EN-
ployes of Distiilery by the Owner.

Total Abstinence Enforced on the Em
ployes of IA Distiilery by the Owner.
The Michigan Christian Advocate
says: with curious inconsistency the
largest manufacturing firm of whisky
in this hemisphere refuses to allow an
employe to drink, and has been fight
ing in the courts to prevent man fir ON
having a license to sell whisky in the
town. In Walkerville, Ont, near Wind
scr, where a million barrels of this
liquor are constantly in stock, there is
no chance to buy, beg or steal drink.
The motto of the firm of Walker is: I'VE
make whisky to sell and not to drink. +"
The result is a practically temper
ance town where the central and
chief industry is to prepare the way
for intemperance. The owner of the
distillery and builder of the town dis
covered years ago that drinking was
hurtful to his employees and to the
community, and put his iron will to
the task of preventing it; but, strange
ly enough, he did not allow himself to
see Or 10 feel that the abstinence which
his men and the inhabitants of his
town needed was needed elsewhere,
and he kept on making what he would
discharge his men for using. In
earlier days he kept barrel of liquor
open for all his men to drink from
freely as they chose; but the blighting
effects became too apparent, and hence
the prohibition regime was inaugurated,
and has been enforced for years.

BEN TOOK HIS STAND BY LITTLE JOE.

good-naturedly, but with determine
ton. "Nimble Dick" pushed open the
door and following Ben's example,
threw the contents of his mug out into
the rain.
One after another the half-dozen
men took up their mugs and threw
the whisky out of doors, where it min
gled with the torrents of rain and
coursed rapidly down the hill.
Then the men shuffied over to where
Ben and Joe were standing and took
their places beside them. This seemed
to affect them all as rather ludicrous,
and they burst into a hearty laugh,
and selling little Joe, mounted him on
their shoulders and marched around
the room. Someone struck up Amer

This was followed by other patriotic

FURNISHING THE NURSERY.
Frills and Fluffs Tabooed by the Hysienic
Mother.


There is no room which the heart of
woman SO longs to decorate with flutfs
and frills as the nursery. She yearns
to make it care worthy of her rare
jewel of a baby. She has visions of
rosebud face pillowed in a rosebud pill
low. She dreams of waxen-white fin
gers playing among embroidered
spreads and lace rutiles. She likes to
think of little pink toes sinking into
soft carpeting. Then she goes to work
and makes her nursery into an apart
ment which rivals her drawing-room
for ornate adornment and for it's gen
orally unhygienic fittings.
If there is a room which should be
furnished with more regard to health
than another it is the nursery Air
and light should be the first considera-
ton. A room with plenty of windows
and the most approved appliances for
ventilation and heating should be
chosen for the nursery. 1t is of com
paratively little Importance that the
drawing-room should have a southern
exposure or the dining-room an open
fireplace, for these rooms are given
over to persons old enough to stand
darkness and furnace gas without diff
ticulty. But the baby's domain should
be as nearly perfectly hygienic as mod
ern arrangements will permit.
The furniture in the baby's room
should be of the simplest sort. Reed,
willow and rattan are all light, cool
and clean, and should be the principal
materials used in furnishing. The era
die is banished nowadays from the
properly-eqnipped nursery. The baby
is no longer shaken into state of
semi-seasickness before he is allowed
to go to sleep. The little iron bed
stead should be furnished with a
wedge-shaped mattress made of hair
or moss. Pillows are not part of the
modern infants bed belongings He
is expected to cultivate a proper car
riage for his head and a proper breadth
of chest by sleeping with his head al
most on a level with the rest of his
body. Feathers either in pillows or
mattresses are no longer used. They
are regarded as heating and irritating.
Soft wooden blankets or light comfort
ers are used for coverings. Draperies
are considered an abomination by hy-
gicnists, who declare that nothing
should interfere with the free passage
OF air to the small sleeper.
The other accessories of nursery
are simple in the extreme. chest Of
drawers Tor baby's belongings, couple
of rattan chairs with movable cushions
for nurse and mother, and a screen to
protect the child from possible
draughts will complete the furnish
ings. Chicago Tribune.

BEREAVEMENT TELLS.
The Wish of the Tormented Mother and
the Sequel.


the Sequel.
When the well-to-do boarder's little
baby died she called in the woman who
swept and scrubbed halls, attended to
the furnace, and did scullery work in
general about the place and showed
her the little fellow as he lay in his
iower-decked coffin, so sweet and
pretty in his last peaceful sleep
The scru bwoman had boy of her
own just few weeks younger than the
dead child and when the well-to-do
boarder's message came she hastily
wiped the suds from her arms and
grabbed up her baby and took him in
with her.
The two women stood over the tiny
casket for time in silence. At last
the mothers self-control gave way and
she bowed her head over the boy and
bathed the little cold face with tears
that blinded her aching eyes and
scalded her thin, care-worn cheeks.
The scrubwoman set her baby on the
floor and folded her arms stoically.
Don't. ma am" she said, without
quaver in her coarse, strong voice.
You ought to give thanks with all
your soul. l wish to God it was my
boy lying there instead of yours"
The boarder laid her hand over the
woman's mouth and interrupted the
impassioned speech.
Don't say that" she cried you
don't realize the meaning of your
words. 1t might come true. Your boy
might die"
The scrubwoman smiled.
There's no such good luck as that"
she said, bitterly. Its always such
as yours that goes and such as mine
that stays. He's never been we'll and
he never will be well. He's torment
to himself and to Inc and to everybody
about the place. It's a continual
scratching to keep body and soul to-
gether, and if / should die what
would become of him then? 1t amt
that I'm unnaturally hard hearted, but
pinching and scrapMg along makes
brutes of anybody. Anyway, he'd be-
better off"
You'll be sorry some day" the
other replied, turning again to her
own little one.
The boarder moved away, and it was
three years before the two women met
again. A few days ago the well-to-do
woman was going through a locality
the ms and outs of which had not been
familiar to her for many months, and
among the scrubwomen on the steps
of a large building she saw her former
charwoman of the boarding house.
How is Freddy?' she asked the
first greeting over.
The woman's lips trembled.
"Freddy's dead she said, putting
down her brush and drying her eyes
on the corner of her apron.
The boarder grasped her hand in
ready sympathy. II am so sorry" she
said simply.
1T just happened last week, the
scru bwoman went on between sobs-

Influence of DIR. Holmes.

Among his varied gifts, Holmes had

helped to sweeten his life and broaden
his influence. To the whole United

MANGAN LOCKED UP.

Western Giant Declared Insane by
the Police Surgeons.
Timothy b. Mangan, the giant crank, from
Washington State, who has been besieginp
the Treasury ana other government depart
ments, found his way to police beaduuartcrs
yesterday afternoon. He entered the chief
clerks office and stated that he wanted
police assistance in collecting his mag.
mary claim of Sl,00O,0oO against Uncle
Sam.
Mr. Gessford, one of the Headquarters
clerks, induced Mangan to accompany him
down stairs to the detective office, where
the crank was turned over to Acting Lieu
tenant Johnson. The First precinct patrol
wagon was then sent for and the big
fellow safely locked in cell.
Lieut.. Johnson said Mangan is nearly
seven feet high and weighs about 250
pounds. There is no superfluous flesh on
his huge frame. He is solid specimen of
bone and muscle, and should he become
violently insane 1t would require several
good men to handle him.
The Washington giant sa III his home was
in the town of Guemes, county Of Skagit,
State Of Washington. Mangan is supposed
to be an 1rishDlan. he recently called
upon tue British minister and tried TO secure
his influence in compelling this government
to pay his large claim.
Last evening Police Surgeons hewitt and
Hickling examined Mangan and decided
that he was lrnatic of the most pro-
nounced type. This forenoon Sanitary
Officer Frank will send him to st. Eliza

A we'll selected text is half of the ser

who is in earnest, and the result is sure
to be good. The text of this article is
plain simple statement that proves itself
IN the readers own mind without argu-
ment. The text is "Good health is bet
Ter than great riches.''
Without health nothing really matters
very much. A hacking cough takes all
the beauty out of landscape or a sunset.
Erysipelas or eczema will spoil the enjoy
ment of sprightly conversation, of beati-
tiful concert, of wonderful painting.
The biggest bank account in the world
won't pay man for his health, but
very small amount of money will make
him healthy and keep him healthy.
Most all bodily troubles start in the
digestive or respiratory organs. 1t is
here that improper living first makes an
opening for disease. The development
differs as constitutions and temperaments
differ. The causes are almost identical.
To get at the root of the matter is simple
enough if you start right.

Is medicine for the whole body. It
works through the digestive organs on
