HE PRO

During the Wednesday nights visit
of the W. @. T. U. ladies into the slums
In the vicinity of Sixth street and
Clark avenue, n of the prominent
leaders of the temperance movement
caused considerable embarrassment to
one OF the Republics young men. The
reporter in question had been assigned
to accompany the ladies and write q
report of the results of their visit.
When the ladies entered one of the re-
sorts to entreat the inmates to repent
and lead better lives, the young reporter
crowded right in with them. The tenn
perance workers scattered through the
rooms, exhorting every one they found
within, male and female, to reform.
There was a good deal of excitement
within the house, naturally.
The reporter was standing in one of
the rooms, taking in the scene, when
the w. Q. 7 Z lady in question came
up to him, and, grasping him earnestly
by the hand, said. with tears in her
voice, God bless you. my boy. Won'G
you reform and lead a better life?'t
why, I-I-I-" stammered the re,
porter, I'm with you, you know"
God bless you for those words, " re
piled the good lady, misunderstanding
him. Then she went away in search
of another brand The reporter
blushed painfully and hurriedly moved
away to another part of the room. Six
separate times during the next As min
utes the same misguided lady singled
out that unfortunate reporter, and,
after showering blessings upon him,
and wringing his hand, bes jught him
to promise her he would g. I'm such
houses in future and lead a better life.
She always caught him just as he was
trying to make a favorable impression
on some Of the young and good looking
members of the w. O T U and his
subsequent confusion and humiliation
were painful.
The young man is not particularly
wicked or ungcdly looking, but he was
a victim of circumstances and possibly
astigm8tism on the part of his tormAn-
tor. After trying in vain to dodge the
good lady, he gave up the job in dis
gust. and went out and stood with the
rabble on the sidewalk in the cold rain
until the workers went honest.

The Mania for Betting.

Bettingi is becomInga universal curse.
The mania has taken hold Of the peO-
pie, both IN Europe and America. It
Is not confined to any particular class;
it is found IN all, from the lowest &c the
highest. Those VINO do not make 1t a
business, elz what they think is a ia
Vorable opportunity for backing their
jIdgment, and many risk large sums
Of money. The underlying principle,
or prompting motive, Is at variance
with the law of righteousness, and car
RED into practice, not only makes
gRmbl re-, but produces a harvest of
reproductive and undesirable citizens.
This class grows larger every day.
Ihey n yer feel the pressure OF hard
times, but their victims suffer, many
OF them going to swell the number OF
petty thieves, and larger les by way
OF distinction becoming 'defaulters.

leads US to believe that as a rule. bet
ting on the races is like betting with
a man at his own game"-a thing no
sensible or quick witted man will do.
More young men owe their downfall
to gambling On the race-track than to
anything else. The absolute prohibi

The most shocking Of all things in
this line is the announcement that a
lady, rich and in high life," won a

This lady, though, evidently regards
the money as not having been properly

to charity. We often read Of women
going to the races and buying pools,
but supposed they did not belong to
the ''best" society. This case, how
ever, is different, and shocks us be

women, even the most respectable of
them to lead our men to Christ, but
we do look to them to set good exam
pie of obedience to law and morals.
If they fail US here we will be ruined.

The Gospel Cure for the Drunkard.

One of our subscribers not long since
received quite a large class of proba
TONERS into full membership. Among
them were three converted drunkards;
two Of them had taken the most fa
not of the so-called cures, and one
of the two had taken the cure twice.
1t was an absolute failure in both
cases. The third of these desired to
take Uhe cure as q sort of endorsement
and fortiication of his repentance. but
the pastor, who had seen many saved
by grace, declared to him that the
Gospel cure had given perfect satisfac
ton in each case. In a Western city
a man of the world recently advised
an Incorporate friend Ito try Dining
the Methodist church, as that seemed
to be much more satisfactory than the
Institute" The church can do moth
ing for such a man, who does not come
as a p~enitent sinner. mo drunkard
can inherit the kingdom of God" is
one of the most explici5 declarations
of the Biole. A drunkard must re
pent in dust and ashes. If the work
is thorough and he o s the sinfulness
Of his course, prays, and submits his
will, until, without his being informed
Of it by another, a great moral and
spiri ual change takes place in him, so
that the Spirit bears witness with his
spirit that he is a son of God, then
pluoges at once into earnest church
work, not Of the formal kind, but OF
the praying, witnessing, Bible search
ing; choosing his companions among
the spiritually minded, and making
secret prayer a habit more regular
even than drinking had been, and
family prayer a conscientious duty /;
renouncIng his convictions, except as
he can do them good by friendly inter
course accompanied with testimony for
Christ, he will surely find strength
equal to his day.
But if he begins as a mere unfortu-
nate, always helpless and therefore
guiltless, and his hurt is healed slightly,
and the wall of his Christian charac
ter is built up with untempered mortar,
Dining the church" will not save
hIm.-Sal.

SPIDERS As PARTNERS.

A syrup bother has improved upon
the prison lesson Of Bruce, says Sci
ence. He has taken the spider into
partnership in the working of one Of
his most important departments.
Flies, cockroaches and other insects,
attracted by his sweets and encour-
aged by the genial air of his bottliDg
room, used to interfere with his work,
get into his bottles, steal his goods
and "worry him to death" Some
5000 spiders now made their home
on the ceiling and walls of his bot
ting department. Said the bother to
an interviewer;
"These creatures know more than a
great many people. Spiders do not
care for sweet things, and never drop
into my watts or'get into my bottles. 1
never disturb them except to feed them
occasionally. they appear to know
my call, and will come out and feed
from my hand or take fly from my
finger.
"They shut themselves up during
most of the winter months in their
little nests you see stuck like daubs of
mud about the ceiling. When winter
comes brush away oil the webs
They prefer to weave new ones every
spring.
II have been running this spider
farm only two years, but I find my
little partners indispensable. They
will not endure in the place a single
fly or insect that is a plunderer OF
sweets and syrups."

CUSTOMS OF THE TARrARs.

Now that we have begun to speak
Of the Tartars, I have plenty to tell you
on that subject The Tartar custom
is to spend the winter in warm plains,
where they find good pasture for their
cattle, whilst in summer they bctake
themselves to cool climate among
the mountains and valleys, where wat
er is to be found as well as woods and
pastures.
Their houses are circular and are
made of wands covered with felts.
These are carried along with them
whithersoever they go; for the wands
are so strongly bound together, and
likewise so we'll combined that the
frame can be made very light. When
ever they erect these huts the door is
always to the South. They also have
wagons covered with black felt 80 eff
fcaciously that no rain can get in.
These are drawn by oxen and camels,
and the women and children travel in
them. The women do the buying and
selling, and whatever is necessary to
provide for the husband and house,
hold; for the men all lead the life Of
gentlemen, troubling themselves about
nothing but hunting and hawking, and
looking after their goshawks and fall
cons, unless it be the practice of war
like exercise.
They live on milk and meat which
their herds supply, and on the pro-
duce of the chase and they eat all
kinds of flesh, including that of horses
and dogs, and Pharaoh's rats, OF
last there are great numbers in bur
rows en- those plains. st. Nicholas.
