The Woes of Wine.

] PIiny: Wine takes away reason, en- genders insanity, leads to thousands of crimes, and imposes such an enormous expense on nations.
 Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton: All in- habitants of light wine countries arequar- relsome.
 Charles Dickens The wine shops breed, in physical atmosphere of ma. laria and moral pestilence of envy and vengeance, the men of crime and revolu- tion.
 Ell. Chapin: The sluices of the grog- shop are fed from the wine-glasses in the parlor.
 J. G. Holland: Cheap wine is not the cure for intemperance. The people here (Switzerland) are just as incorporate as they are in Amerida.
 Geo. w. Bain: You often hear the re- mark that tthere is no harm in glass of wine per se." Per se means by itself. Certainly, there is no harm in a glass of wine by itself. Place a glass of wine on ] per SC, and will harm no one. But if you take it from the shelf and turn it inside a man, then it is no longer per SC.
 Proverbs: Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentious? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? they that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
 Journal of Hygiene: A man can not use what is called the best of wine daily for ten years and be free from disease Whatever is in the least harmful to the human economy, when taken internally whether it irritates the nerves, or only renders them more sensitive to externa impressions, or accelerates the degenera tlon of cell-tisue, is incompatible witt healthy growth, and therefore it's use k abuse.

great hall Lady HenryS Somerset graciously made all feel at home. The fine mansion was thrown open to the visitors, who soon invaded every corner, Unto the perfectly decorated, pale green silk-hung drawing room the library in white and gold, with it's hundreds of rare volumes the dining room, with it's dark wainscotlngs and handsome red tapestry hangings; the dainty reception room, and others rich in rare furniture, portraits, armor and bric4 a-brac. But the chief points of interest were the "dens ;'' Miss Willard's with it's simple, comfortable furnishings recog- nized at once by "mother's" picture over the mantel and the familiar travelling handbag with the initials, F. E. w., ly- ing upon the desk. Lady Henry's room appeared very thought-inviting. The fa- miliar face of the beloved Quaker poet looked down upon the temperance work CTS of many lands who peeped into this sanctum of the reform leader.
 Out upon the lawn and in the garden the scene was a festive one. Under a magnificent willow tree, 8 band (appropri- ately of women) played lively melodies. At the long tables beneath the canvas tent, and at many smaller tables near, the guests were being served in true En- glisb fashion. It was 8 sociable, friendly company, for no other introduction was needed than the significant knot of white. Armenian and Scandinavian, Indian and South African, German, Swedish and French delegates mingled with those oi English speaking countries in unhedged social converse, giving the gathering 6 real cosmopolitan character. Of course with such a company speech-makine could not be omitted, so platform waf improvised, and those who could get with in hearing distance doubtless heard much that was witty and wise. The occasion was honored by the presence of the Count ess Somers, Lady Henry's mother, vyine with her daughter in youthful looks Countess Somers is greatly interested 1T the reform work of her noble daughter reading The Union Signal and following the progress of the great reform.
 So much had the weather, the occasion the surroundings and the lavish hospital ity delighted the happy guests that it wal with regret they heard the sweet bells O Priory clock announce the hour of depar ture. It will be long before the tourist "forget that day in June" which tool them into the sunshine of Lady Henr! Somerset's comradely hospitality.

Conn. Farmer: The early June drouth interfered seriously with the grass crop of Connecticut, and rendered it certain that much less hay would be housed this year than usual! Since cutting began the wet weather has spoiled the entire product of great many hay fields, and it is now beyond question that the hay crop of the state will not be much more than one-half the average of recent years. As a consequence the prices of hay, both old and new, have materially advanced, and are not likely to recede from present fig ures. Those farmers are lucky who have provided fodder crops of one kind or an- other to take the place of hay during the coming winter.

Willimantic Journal When you put the kitten, which you wish to lose, into a basket, and go by back road out into the country, and then let pussy go, giving her the slip by feint of going further, you find her waiting for you on the front stoop when you have reached home by some roundabout way, So it is with the silver dollars piled up in the treasury in Washington, and in the sub-treasuries elsewhere. One would suppose that the silver men would want them so badly that they could not be kept 'sin stock" at all, instead of which tons upon tons of them lie, inert, never "get move on" ," and are just so much undigestible matter on the national financial stomach: But when half a ton or so of these home loving things are taken way out into un- known parts, and dumped among silver loving people, with the same hope that inspires the leaving of the kitten in the country, like the kitten, the faithful and affectionate dollar trundle themselves back to the treasury whence they came.

A Large Gathering Last Night
at the Square.
BOYS WHO KNOW HOW TO DRILL.
y Great Time on Union Square-Very
Few -Commendable Work
of tina Boys-ColoneI Mclean Well
Pleased-Additfons to the Ranks.

What did the First Battalion of
the National Guard of Hawaii do
last night? Well, they just didn't
do a thing but show the crowds on
Union Square what the correct
definition of drilling is.
Even before 7 o'clock the men of
Companies A, B, c and E, consti-
tuting the First Battalion, collected
in the drill hall preparatory to
formation for the battalion drill.
When the companies were formed
it was found that only those with
good excuses were absent.
Professor Berger had his band out
in full force and every man was in
excellent condition to blow a hard
blow, but a sweet one. And the
drum corps which followed the
band seemed ready for the most
intricate performances on the drum.
Promptly at 7:30 o'clock the
band, followed by the four COM
panies, marched out of the shed
and down to Union Square.
Preceded by the band the bat
talon passed in review before Col
onel Mclean, every platoon show
ing a straight front and the dis
tance between each one never
varying. Perhaps in all previous;
drills the work of the men never,
showed to such good advantage as
that of last night. Every officer
seemed to be on the alert for any
mistake on the part of the men.
But they found occasion for few
words. Colonel McLean's face
beamed with pleasure as the last
platoon passed by.
After review followed the dress
parade in which Colonel Mclean
commanded. The manual of arms
was performed as if by one sol
dier.
Then came the battalion drill
commanded by Major Mcleod. Up
and down and all over the square
marched the battalion performing
the movements with precision and
earning just commendation from
the spectators. At 8:45 the bat
talon marched down King, up
Fort, on to Hotel and back to the
drill shed where the band played
the National Guard of Hawaii"
and the men broke ranks.
Soda water flowed freely in the
various company rooms.
Company A elected to member
ship, L. Berndt, formerly sergeant
in Company F. Seven new mem
bers will be elected at the next
Company B elected two new
members and did some other busi-
ness.
Company c will elect eight new
men at the next meeting.

THE RESULT or A DRING.

A crowd OF men recently went into saloon
at Shamokin, Penn, with Joseph Swart2, to
see him drink a quart OF whisky for a wager
and they emerged in little while bearing
MS corpse. II was tradition that Swart2
could drink two quarts Of the reddest liquor
AZ ono time, and the question arose as to
whether he could swallow the quart. joe
shrugged his shoulders cOntemptuously.
without ceremony he ordered The fiery
liquid. Down his throat coursed the stuff
ana his eyes sparkled. Finally the last drop
was down and Joe east a triumphant glance
at his companions. Then he sang n song
and danced jig His brain had been
turned, and he said his nerves tlngled a.
though a thousand needles were pricking
him. Faster went his feet until he suddenly
threw his arms to the air and grew deathly
pale. He groaned, dropped 10 the floor, and
the merry shouts of his comrades died into
exclamations Of alarm. They rushed 10 his
side, aud he seemed In awful agony, but un-
able to speak. He became senseless in a few
minutes. and then died.--Chrstian Culver.
