TEMPERANCE THINGS.

The saloon has many sides. 1t has its
inside, its outside, its political side, its
suicides and its Observation-Disclosures.
The fact that you cannot change the
whole world should not prevent you
trying to smooth over n few of the
rough spots III the path that somebody
has to walk.-Industria School Tl>cord.
Nearly two-thirds of the counties in
Kentucky prohibit the saloon. Illinois
has 101 counties, six or seven of which
outlaw the saloon. Comparisons are
said to be odious.-Lever.
Pennsylvania follows New York in
asking for law to prohibit treating
to intoxicating liquors and the accept
ing of the same. \ National Anti-Trcat-
ing society has its headquarters in Phil
adelphia.-Union Signal.
The temperance society of an Ohio
town recently purchased the only sa-
loon in the town limits and burned all
of the fixtures with appropriate cere-
monies. The owner was recently con-
Terted at a revival meeting, and the pro-
hibitionists are now booming him for
mayor.
If one-half the effort exerted to con-
troll and regulate the saloon was di-
"rected to it's determination, we would
make much greater progress. The
trouble is that so many prefer to be-
lieve that the saloon cannot be eXter-
minated and must therefore be regu-
lated, which is but another way OF say
ing it must be continued.-Lever.
DO you ask what is the use for the few
to stand out against the many who are
in completely with the drink evil?
answer that, humanity speaking, there
is no use. But Gods power 10 beneath

the force of HIS dynamite will be felt.
An explosion is bound to come that will

His anger forever. Miss f.. p. Nichols.

THE COOLEST COLD.
a Scientists Attempts to Reduce q
New Element to Solid Form

In recent physics there is nothing
more interesting than the remarkable
experiments carried on by Prof. OILS
zewski, of Cracow, attempting to reduce
the new element helium, to a liquid OF
solid form; that is, freeze it. The OBJ
iect of Prof. Olszewski's attempt was
to gain further light upon the question
which has so long interested physicists
as to what is absolute zero-the cold
est cold in the universe. If heat be
simply the rapidity of the motion OF
the atoms and molecules which consti
tute matter, it follows that as the TEN.
perature is reduced this rapidity OF
motion becomes slower and slower, so
that there is 4 theoretical point at
which it would cease, a temperature
where all matter is dead" 1t is an
observed fact that gases increase or
diminish in volume with every degree OF
temperature, Centigrade, added or taken
away, and the inference from this was
nat the numerical expression of abso.

has attained to 264 c. in his endeavor to
fquefy helium; that is, within nine de-
trees of the theoretical coolest cold,

AMERICAN TOURISTS IN EGYPT.
why They Went to the State BaII
Given by the Khedivc.

Official circles in Cairo have been
ehuckling over an incident connected
with the state ball given at Abdin pal
ace by his highness tia khcdive, the
facts of which leaked out of the bureau
of the grand master of ceremonies and
found their way into the native news
papers. Three weeks ago the grand
master sent word TO each diplomatic
representative in the capita! that the in
vitations this year would be limited to-
members of the diplomatic corps, Off
cials of the Egyptian government, for
eign princes, dukes. marquises, counts,
senator's, etc, and that tourists could
not be asked.
The grand master probably had never
thought how this message would sound
to the representatives of republic like
the United States of America. But the
message was official" and for time it
looked as if that important section of
winter visitors, the Americans, would
be entirely overlooked. But the Amer
lean diplomatic agent and consul gen
eral, Frederick c. Penfield, thought
differently. In consequence, polite
note was addressed by him to the pal
ace, stating that his country had no
titles of nobility, but as his compatriots
were all sovereigns - ranking with
kings and queens-he would like to have
as many as possible asked.
1t is said there was a conference of
the authorities at the palace at which
the status of Mr.. Penfields country peo-
pie was discussed, the result being that
twice as many as ever before were com
manded" to attend the ball, and each
was heartily received by the khedive,
whose princely eyes twinkled as he
greeted each well-dressed sovereign
from the states. II was decided coup
for Mr.. Penfield, and approved his abil-
ity always to do the right thing at the
right time. The presence of 40 Ameri-
cans at state ball, even in the land of
the pyramids, was a novelty. - Cairo

THE CHOICE OF PICTURES.
Cheap limitations Are UnsightIy and
In Poor Taste

Nothing is SO quickly noticed by an
outsider as the pictures in your home.
and nothing else so well repays the
thought and time expended in selection.
Above all, do not buy cheap pictures
because they are cheap. Better that the
wall should be entirely bare than that
it should be covered with a miscel-
laneous lot of pictures which mean
nothing to you and are worth nothing
in themselves. The cheap picture,
bought usually at large dry goods
store, is a pretepse to be something
better than it is, and a very bad coun-
terfeit indeed, a Autograph in lieu of a
water color or cheap engraving in
place of a good one. The frames on
these pictures are never pretty, and
show their inferior material and work
manship in the most glowing manner.
have found that the most satisfac-
tory way to procure a collection of pic
lures, especially if your purse is linn
tied, is to select the pictures unframed
and then have them framed to suit
yourself. You can then have the pic
lures you think most of and get frames
which harmonic with them.
Unframed etchings can be bought at
any art store, and those which are not
proof etchings, though, of course,
not the best, are very pretty and al
ways reasonable. The printed name of
the etching beneath it is sign of cheap
ness, so in having one framed always
cover up the title. Either have a mar
row frame of oak or other dark wood
set close around the picture OF mat
with a wood frame. A mat in a soft
shade of brown which harmonizes with
the browns in the etching would be
effective, and with it a rather wide
frame of plain oak or a narrow one with
open or beaded edge.
Photographs are always satisfactory
and one can get Photographic reproduce
tons of all the famous pictures of an
Gent and modern times at almost any
art store. 1t would pay one to spend a
day or more in looking over the col
lcctions of unmOunted photographs
which every dealer in pictures is sure to
have.-Washington Home Magazine.

THE RIGHT SORT OF WOMAN.
Such, Says IIsis Writer, Is the Real
New Woman.

New woman.
"The dear new woman! like her.
Perhaps she is crude in her newness.
.siye her time. Perhaps she makes a
little too much of her freedom. How do
you know what she suffered before she
became new? Perhaps she has her
faults. Are you perfect?
OF course, there is the woman who
shrieks on political platforms and neg
lects her husband and let's her children
grow up like little rutfians; the woman
who wears boomers and bends over her
handle-bar like a monkey on a stick;
the woman who wants to hold Office with
men and smoke and talk like men (alas,
that there is that variety of woman.
There is-there ISL but she is not new.
Pray, did you never see her before she
wore boomers? Boomers are no worse
than the sort of clothes she used to
wear. Her swagger is no more pro-
nounced now than it used to be in
skirts. She has always had bloomer in
stincts. You don't pretend to declare,
do you, that there never were uncon-
yentional women, addressed and rowdy
women, before the new woman was
heard of? That is the great mistake
you make. These women are not new
women. We've always had them. We
never, unfortunately, have been with
Gut them.
The real new woman is creature
quite different. She is one whom you
| wish to know. She is one whom you
would invite to your most select din
ners. You would be better men if you
| had more friends like her, and broader
minded women if you dropped few
of those who hand you doughnut recipes
over the back fence and who entertain
you with the history of the baby's
measles and how they are managing to
meet the payments on their little house.
/ am not unsympathetic either with
the measles or the payments, but
prefer the subjects of conversation
which a new woman selects. There is
more ozone in them.
The new woman whom / mean is
eilk-lined. She is nearly always pretty.
| She is always clever. She is always a
lady, and she is always good. Perhaps
to the cynical that combination sounds
as if she might not be interesting But
she is. Of course, not always. One may
have all those gifts and yet not know
how to make use of them for other peo-
pies benefit. The gift of being interest
ing is distinct one by itself. But the
new woman, having fresh and outside
interests, is generally able to talk OF
them delightfully."-.
The new woman is new only in the
sense that she has opened her eyes and
has begun to see the value of the simple
common, everyday truths which lie
nearest her. The whole truth becomes
new to those who suddenly awake to the
beauties which they never had thought
of before.-Lilian Bell, in Woman
