Movable Stairs.

Movable "stairs" are vast i'm
provement on those which have to be
climbed. These STAIRS work on the
principle of an endless chain and revolve
on circular drums at either end. To use
this continuously moving platform,
which is made of substantial Stats like
those of a Venetian blind and rubber
covered, it is only necessary to lay ones
hands on the moving balustrade, and
the next moment one finds oneself at the
top.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTION.

AS Woolley has pointed out, what
the nation needs is more resolution,
not more resolutions.
Resolution to do something in the
war against the curse of the centuries,
and not merely to say something.
Resolution to give something to
help pull individuals and the nation
up to higher plane and into fuller
sunlight.
There are in round numbers 100000
prohibitionists in the United States
and 100000 women who would vote
that way if they had a chance. Ii ev-
cry one of them would devote one day
month, or ten hours, to the Prohi-
bition cause (and Sunday would be as
appropriate day as any for many,
even if not all, phases of the work.,
we would have in the year 1896 sum
total of 10000 days of solid work.
What mighty impetus this would
givei One year of such effort would
put such organizations as the Nation
al Temperance Society, the w. @. L.
u, the Good Templars and Sons of
Temperance on a splendid footing,
make every live prohibition paper
tower of strength in the community,
turn myriads of churches right side
up with care, and send thrill of hope
to the uttermost bounds of earth. 1t
is not more public talking we want so
much as more personal work. Why
not organize in every county in lieu
of volunteer lecture bureau, which
is not always practicable, volun-
teer workers bureau for 1896, which
is practicable, and in which each man
pledges himself to one days personal
work, or ten hours work, in distrib-
uting literature, taking subscriptions
to Prohibition papers, looking up
prohibitionists not heard from lately
to find out where they are and what
they need, making an enrolment,
distributing dodgers, and FASTING
up cartoon stickers, or some other
form of work, all under the direction
of the county committee?
There is but one thing, absolutely
but one thing, that can hinder the
prohibition party from making a
splendid advance this coming year,
and that is the lack of movement on
the part of prohibitionists themselves.
Let no man or woman sit down with
folded hands because others will not
help. One person in a county who will
vow one day in every month to
pre- arranged work along some def
mite line, is bound to start others into
action. All persons can not do the
same work, but every prohibit
ZIONIST who has resolution can do
something, even if on sickbed from
one years end to another.
Let the New Year be a new year.
Make it ring with new hope, new
determination, new conservation to
duty. Look up, look out, look for
ward, and lend hand.

Evolution.

The time must come when all scien-
tific men will admit that there must be
something beyond this present life of
ours The theory of evolution is now
being accepted by all leaders of science,
and the only Interpretation of life as
we see it is that there must be another
life beyond for which we are being pre-
pared. The doctrine of Immortality is
now popularity accepted. Rev. Henry
Blanchard, Universalist, Portland, Me.

Sin is always expensive. 1t never
pays what it promises. The flowers in
the distance in the pathway of sin al
ways wither before you reach them, and
the way becomes a way of thorns. The
Sabbath breaker, pleasure seeker and
drunkards all pay their fare, but never
reach the intended destination. Blasted
prospects, shattered constitutions, ruin
ed families are the price of sin.-Rev

The city is the battlefield of the clos

The Human Kind.

Man is midway from nothing to
Deity. He is rooted in nature. He is so
much an animal as to be close akin to
them. All forces, Kingdoms and powers
beneath him ascend into him and stamp
their impress on him. This qualities
him for dominion of earth and animal.

Science has already done a vast
amount of detached work for the i'm
provement of life But she is now be-
ginning to go to work constructively on
the life of man as a whole. She is be-
ginning to recognize that all the sciences
exist for the supreme science, the sci
ence of life. Out of this supreme science
is to come some day the supreme art,
the art of life.-Rev. w. r. Taylor,
Presbyterian, Rochester.

Ignorance.

Ignorance is sin, and it is time to

of nature and their results. &.

without being relieved OF my sufferings.
"I passed nlgsts of sleeplessnes and

often unable TO retain even a glass OF
water upon my stomach. In fact was

Up to the moment the paymaster and
his clerk sat down TO supper the soldiers
composing the escort had treated old
Robertson gruffiy or ignored him alto
gether. but his persistent efforts 10
render himself agreeable induced the
sergeant TO remark
IL haven't doubt that you are as bad
as the reputation they give you, but
that's neither here nor there with us.

First, a wheel had come off the ambu-
lance to detain them for an hour. Then
one of the mules had gone lame with
nail which had worked into his foot.
Then they had met with tree which
had fallen across the road ut a narrow
SPOT and they had TO make circuit over
bad ground TO clear IL. Late as IL was
when they reached Old Robertson's
Rancho they might have kept on to Sill

storm rising in the west.
Kit waited on the paymaster and his
clerk at supper. Both had heard of her,
but neither had seen her before. The
captain did his best 10 start a conversa-

him. She confined herself to monosyla-

leave the table; then, having opened
the door 10 the burroom and made sure
that her father was not there, she tip
toed back TO the captain and whispered:
Don't let tho soldiers get hold of any
of dads whisky tonight"
'Why?" he asked, as he regarded her
with surprise.
"Because-"
