The Rash Student.

The old gentleman who was principal
of Jesus college, Oxford, had the feeling
that young men were for the most part
pushing and required to he Kept in their
proper place, and possibly he was right.
Yet Sunday after Sunday he had under
graduate dinner parties, and gave his
guests freely of his best, both in the
way of provender and of snubbing. At
one of these parties the principal, who
was bit of gormand, and, although
very short sighted, a most excellent and
scientific carver, was preparing to attack
a mighty goose which had been put be-
fore him.
"Will you allow me to do that for
you, Mr.. Principal" exclaimed a young
Welshman, with more politeness than
discretion.
"Prs that bird in front of Mr.. NJ, !"
said the principal, addressing the but
Ter, but eyinS NJ. all the time with
considerable disfavor, which eventually
eliminated in most expressive sniff.
NJ. was rather startled at being thus sud
denly taken at his word, but he set to
work manfully enough OH the goose with
the sort of happy go lucky feeling that
where there is a will there is way.
But of few things does that insidious
proverb hold less good than of carving a
goose. And Of this fact NJ. was soon
painfully conscious when it came to dis
secting a wing. Fortunately the princi-
pal, after another prolonged sniff, came
to his rescue.
"Take that bird away from Mr.. NJ.
and bring it back to me" and then, ad-
dressing NJ, be added, 81 have often
had occasion to notice, Mr. NJ, that
young men are very fond Of undertaking
tasks which they have no idea of per-

Independent Order Of
Reehabi1es
In NORTH AMERICA.
THE OBJECTS AND AIMS.
Information of Interest to Temper
ance Workers and Those Seeking
a Refuge From the Tempta-
lions of Strong Drink.
In NORTH AMERICA.

NNHE more important object Of this
i Association is Mutual Benefit n
the exercises of Temperance, Forti-
tude and Justice. securing to its
membership sympathy and relief in
times of sickness and distress; and in
the event of death, the decent OBJ.
servance of the necessary funeral
obsequies; and is based upon and
seeks, the extension of the principles
of Total Abstinence from all intoXi-
eating drinks.
The Order has three subordinate
branches, viz:
Primary Tents, composed of white
male persons between the ages of 16
and 55 years of age, who believe in
the existence and omnipotence of
God and are willing to sign our pledge
OF total abstinence, are eligible to
membership.
Persons over age may become hon
orary members.
Female Tents, composed of white
females - years of age and upwards,
a Junior Branch of Boys from 10 to
1G years, and Juvenile Tents, for
Children of both sexes between the
ages of and 16 years.
Each branch has a service especially
adapted. 1t has been found that by
working in separate branches of the
organization, there is more freedom
Of action than when all ages and
sexes are thrown together. Each
branch of the Order is represented in
the higher body, and fostering care
is exercised over all alike. Thus with
the men and women, girls and boys
all united under one head the I. 0.
of r. is as an irresistible army NOV
ing on to victory.
The Order has, and will continue
to prove blessing to our country,
not only in proving an asylum for the
reformed drunkard, but by inducing
the sober and religious part of the
community to unite in securing the
rising generation from the evils of
intemperance, and ultimately hand
down to generations yet unborn, the
benefits of sobriety.

What Is
PURIFINE?

1t is the new disinfectant which
has superseded all other disinfect-
ants, being a scientific compound,
having no odor, yet possessing the
qualities of a powerful disinfectant.
The automatic distributor should
be placed in every house in Homo
lulu where odors and germs of dis
ease exist. They are placed free
of charge, taken care of and kept
working day and night for $1.00
per month. It's an innovation, but
on scientific principles, and ap-
peals to everyone of common sense.
The idea is this: The distributor
drops two drops a minute, day and
night. Foul odors are killed, yet
no disagreeable smell of carbolic
acid or crude disinfectants takes
it's place. You don't know that
powerful disinfectant is being used
if you judge by the lack of odor.
But it's doing the duty-doing it
we'll. Can we show you the Ideal
Automatic Distributor" Our Mr..
Washburn will call, if you'll tele-
