ternational exhibition, such o phila-
telic festivity having been arranged

stration of the worldwide power of
Great Britain, for the exhibition will

Queen Victoria.

TEMPERANCE.

oUR JOY AND OUR DUTY.
A pledge we sign with Joy.
Up, every girl and boy,
To fight the drink;
Let each ono find his place
And then from God seek grace
To set through life the face
Against the drink.
Would we our country save2
We must be true and brave,
And steadiast stand;
Have faith In God and pray,
Work, vote, and haste the day
That from the demons sway
Shall free our land

ALoonoL's INrLUEycE on cHILDnry.

NJ. LancereauX is now engaged in demon
strating the influence OF alcohol on children.
On growing children its effects are parti-
cularly lanentable. NJ. Lanccreaux has
closely studied two young girls from thirteen
to fourteen, born of alcoholic parents, and
accustomed TO drink a liter and u half OF
wine per day since the age OF three years.
Theyare victims to yisceral LESSONS typical
OF alcoholism, and present all the signs of
well marked ''infantilism." These cases con
firm the results Of experiments on animals.

THE MOP VERSUS THE SCRUB BRUSH.

THE MOP VERSUS THE SCRUB BRUSH.
'The scrub brush as a method of
cleaning floors. though in extensive
use in this section of the country, and
even more so in parts further south, ="
remarked a New England lady who
took prominent part in the recent
mothers congress, "long since went
out OF use IN the New England States,
and never did have much of place in
the progressive new cities OF the West.
In its place a mop at the end of a stick
is used. The mop does much better
work, as we look at it, and besides can
be used without getting down on all
fours, which is hard work in itself. A
woman can do double as much work
with a mop and in half the time as can
be done with the scrub brush. Per-
sonally, had supposed that the scrub
brush had gone out of use everywhere,
until saw scrubwomen using it at the
hotel where am stopping and after.
ward in the corridors in one of the de.
partment buildings. 1t is twenty-five
years behind the times, is untidy and
does not secure the results that mop
or long-handled scrub brush secures"

District Attorney A. J. Murff had
the misfortune to lose his residence
yesterday afternoon by fire. The
fire broke out about 2 O'clock and
originated from the kitchen f1ue. The
wind was very high and everything
being so dry the house burned as #
1T were dry fodder stack The fam
lily were at dinner and were not
aware OF the fire until they heard the
outside alarm. The alarm was first
given by pistols being fired at the
Court House. A crowd soon gath
cred around the building, but to
extenquish the flames was an i'm
possibility. However, most of the
furniture was saved. The building
was insured, but not for a sufficient
amount to cover the loss.

TRIED TO DRINK His BLOOD
Horrible Story of a Cruise
Along Florida Coast.
SMALL BOAT BLOWN OUT TO SEA
The Two Occupants Famished
and Exhausted.


Jacksonville. Fla, Jan. S.-When
the United States revenue cutter Bout
well was approaching the mouth of st.
Johns river, late last night, the look
out discovered cat-rigged yawl flying
flag of distress.
One of the Boutwel's boats, sent to
investigate, found a sailor on the
bottom of the yawl, unconscious. He
was wasted to skeleton, and bis
mouth was on his naked forearm, as
though be bad tried to drink his own
blood. He proved to be Capt. Charles
Herman Of Providence, r. l., who left
that place on November LIST, accom-
panied by Charles Gladding, in the
yawl Cocheco, for cruise along the
coast of Florida. When they left
Charleston, on December 26th, they
were blown out to sea. Their pro.
visions and water were soon exhausted.
Last Friday, Herman thinks it was.
the lighthouse on Anastasia Island
was sighted. By this time Gladding
was crazy. and put off for shore, in
boat attached to the Cocheco, and un-
doubtedly was lost. Herman remem.
bers nothing else, and must have
become unconscious shortly after Glad
ding left. The Cocheco then drified
up the coast, with it's unconscious
master, until discovered by the Bout
we'll.
Herman weighed $50 pounds when he
left Providence. He now weighs only
Ito pounds, and is so weak he can
hardly raise his hand.
