A POINTER ron BOYS.

Edward W. Box editor of the Ladies' Home
Journal, gives the following, among other
reasons, for having never tasted liquor:
Another thing which led me to make up
my mind never to touch liquor was the
damage which l saw wrought by 1t upon
some of the finest minds with which it was
ever my privilege to come into contact, and
I concluded that what had resulted in

Of professional life, some OF the
smarlest, yea, brilliant, literary men,
dethroned from splendid positions,
owing TO nothing else but their in
diligence in wine. l have known men with
salaries Of thousands of dollars per year,
occupying positions which hundreds would
strive lifetime to attain, come to beggary
from drink. Only recently there applied to
me, for any position could offer him, one
OF the most brilliant editorial writers in tho
newspaper professional man who, two
years ago, easily commanded one hundred
dollars for a single editorial in his special

during his life, he sits in Il cellar in one OF

DRINK IN ALASKA.

II THE accounts of the introduction Of
food supply into Alaska are encouraging, tho
introduction OF drink supply furnishes an-
other and darker side to the case. II is
against the United States law to introduce
liquor into Alaska; and the United States
revenue cutter is very efficient in enforcing
the law. American whalers, who very fire.
quently bring more liquor than the law al
lows them for their own consumption Qen
gallons) are obliged to throw it overb )ard
But, to evade the United States, laws, a new
plan has been adopted. Thus, last year a
whaler took one hundred barrels of whisky
to the Siberian coast. If il had anchored in
American waters, the vessel would have
been seized. Being in Siberian waters it
could not be touched. The liquor was then
landed, and the Siberians loaded 1t up in
their skin canoes and the Alaskans in theirs;
and Mr.. Jackson declars that the entire
United States navy could not under these
circumstances, prevent the smuggling of
liquor into Alaska. 1t is melancholy to re-
feet that, while missionaries are trying 20
save this people, physically and morally,
other men are doing all they can for the in
PRODUCTION of alcohol for their degradation.
But so it has been from the beginning; the
forces Of light and darkness are perpetually
In conflict.

THE sPINsTER IN SOCIETY.

1t is difficult to see who would take
her place socially, should the spinster
vanish from the land. A gracious
lady, tactful beyond the dreaming of
the young girl, to whom the world is
still place of enchantment, in which,
half unconsciously to herself, she
poses as the principal figure, the spin
ster smooths away embarrassments,
does the right thing, speaks the right
word in the right place, and keeps the
wheels of life running without fric-
tion. To her, serene, well bred,
tranquil, aware Of good and evil, toll
Grant of that which is mere crudity
and inexperience, severe only where
falseness and cruelty challenge, soft
spoken, sweet hammered, or possibly
brusque and spicy, yet none the less
charming.
If a woman of wealth, the spinster
holds in her capable hands the threads
OF many charities, advising here, be-
slowing there, Withholding or endow-
ing, as she deems judicious. Perhaps
she develops in her own person rare
gifts-music, painting, embroidery
attaining in each degree ofexcellenoe
which only leisure and taste in com
bination can arrive at. Very likely
she prefers to seek out gifted younger
people, boys and girls, who need that
some one should believe in and help
them on, and to these she is patron
saint. Many lines of work are open
to her which marriage would have
closed, since the wife and mother must
exclusively devote to her home and!its
sphere OF action talents and sympa
thies which the spinster may use il
the service of her age. Though the
one be more blessedly happy, the
other is not without rewards and com
pensations.
Poor in this worlds goods, the spin
ster fills equally a most important
niche. Her modern education makes
her an Independent factor in many
fields, not-to-be-despised competitor
in the market and the shop. Ant
since probably she need not remain
spinster unless she choose, societ,
owes her Its thanks for her generos
ity in keeping herself at its service
and making so winsome a feature o
its moving panorama. San Franciscr
Chronicle.

CUsrARD sOuFFLF.

A really dainty dessert is custnrd
souflle, which is made by melting one
ounce of fresh butter, sprinkling into
it half ounce of flour and stirring it
till smooth and well blended. Pour
over it full gill of boiling milk and
stir it over the fire for seven or eight
minutes, Beat the yolk of an egg very
fresh with one ounce of caster sugar,
add this to the milk and turn it all out
to cool. When cold, add to it the
white of the egg beaten very stiff and
bake in a we'll buttered pie dish in a
very sharp oven. Serve at once, either
plain OF accompanied by cream or
boiled custard sauce. New Yorl

Winter before last, when there was so
much suffering among the po )rer classes,
and when philanthropy and charity were
stirred to their utmost to furnish TO the
needy the necessaries OF life, a soup house
was opened in Annapolis, tho capital Of
Maryland. for the first time, am told, in its
history. The fall preceding the oyster in-
dustry was active as usual, and employment
given to many hands. On one Saturday
evening q large packer paid or those in his
employ with brass checks for the respective
amounts duo them. As the packer was
known to be man OF character and means
these checks were received as money by the
dealers in that town, and by them presented
for redemption. On this occasion he issued
2500 of them, and by the following Welnes-
day they had all been redeemed. Who pre-
sented them2 Through what branch OF
trade did they come back to the packer?
You would, OF course, suppose from the
baker, the grocer, the butcher, the clothier,
and such ike Did they2 Out of the $500.
2l00, or more than four-flfths, were handed
in by the saloon keepers. Suppose the fig
ures had been reversed, and four-hfths had
come through the channels which meant
comfort and sustenance to the families rep
resented, and only one-tifth through the
saloons, and that would have been one-flfth
too many. Do you think there would have
been any need of n SOUP house in that town2
On the contrary. would not the various
branches of trade have felt the impulse of an
increased demand, and they in turn would
have been forced to send to Baltimore and
other places for further supplies, and thus,
like the ripple started on the bosom OF some
placid lake, which wldens and wldens, until
II reaches the furthermost shore, the chan
nels o trade. once started, would have gone
on, ever widening in their influence. until
the owners Of all the surplus grain. cattle
cotton and the like would have found an
active demand for them at remunerativo
prices. Joshua lowering.

The Absence of 1t.

II there is any truth in the saying that hap.
piness is the absence of all pain, mental and
physical, the enjoyment of 1t can only bo
found in heaven. But so lar as the physical
is concerned, It is within easy reach; at least
measurably so, as far as cure will go. Tho
sum of human misery in this line is made up
Of greater or less degrees of physical suffer-
ing. The minor aches and pains which
aflict mankind are easy TO reach and as
easily cured. There are none in the whole
category, which, if taken In time, cannot be
cured. They must in some form ai1lict the
nerves, the bones, the muscles and joints Of
the human body. They arc all more or less
hurtful and wasteful TO the system. st.
Jacobs Oil is made 10 cure them, TO search
out hidden pain spots, and to cure promptly
in true remedial and lasting way. Very,
very many have not known happiness for
years till they used it, and very many AFRO
putting of cure and happiness because they
don't use it.

RICE FOR GARNIsHINa.

A rice border makes an attractive
looking dish of any warmed-over meat,
fowl or fish. Wash cup of rice and
put it in double boiler with three
cups of white stock; place over the
fire and cook thirty minutes. Add
half teaspoonful of salt and two
tablespoonfuls of butter and let it
simmer twenty minutes longer. Beat
the yolk of two eggs with three table,
spoonfuls of cream and one of chopped
parsley, and add to the rice five
minutes before it is ready to take from
the fire. Butter a border mould aud
pack the rice into it. Let the mould
stand in the heated oven ten minutes
and then turn it out on a hot platter.
Fill the centre with the prepared meat.

Entangled Birds.

Birds that employ hair in the build,
ing of their nests sometimes come to
grief by hanging, but 1 should say
very seldom, indeed, in the following
singular manner: A gentleman who
had number of colts upon his farm
one day noticed a small bird entangled
in the long hair of the tail of one of
them. The little creature had evi.
IDENTIFY been in search of material
wherewith to line its nest, and, by
some unaccountable accident, had be-
come ensnared in the unkempt hair of
the colts tail.
Cases OF birds getting their feet en-
tangled in bits of yarn or string are
not at all uncommon, especially in the
breeding season, and whenever the
victim of this kind of a mishap hap
pens to get the impediments fastened
in tree or among stones, death is
pretty sure to be the result, unless
prompt human aid is forthcoming. In
the spring of the year, as everybody
knows, the dead leaves of the pampas
grass fall to tho ground and curl up
like shaVings from carpenters bench.
A Field correspondent mentions find
ing a poor robin which had accident
ally got one of these pieces coiled
around its neck 50 tightly that it was
unable to feed and died of starvation.

A STARTLING LESSON.

There is an ancient saying that the sins OF
course. in the way of natural law only.
Science lends its support to this declaration
aud presents many sad facts in corroboration
OF it. Thus DR.. Paul GARNER, OF Paris, who
has been making special study of the chill
dren of habitual drunkards, comes TO this
conclusion; "There is a flaw in the very
nature of these young wretches that the
psychologist sees clearly and notes with ap-
prehension-the absence of affectionate
emotion;" and when they do not become
lunatics, he says, they show "insensibility
and pitilessness." Here is a temperance
lesson OF startling power.-Workman's
