Two Kegs of Rum.

Late one autumn a whaler on her return
voyage brought up In front Of a populous
village on an island in the northern part Of
the Behring Sea. lively trade ensued
with the natives, who were anxious to make
their bargains quickly and go in pursuit of
the walrus which are now passing, and
which every year provided the winters food
supply. But in addition to the legitimate
articles of trade, a couple Of kegs OF strong
rum were put ashore, and the schooner
sailed away for San Francisco with all the
wealth Of the village.
BY the time the natives had finished the
rum, and got over its effects, the walrus
had passed. tber9 was no supply of food
put up for the winter, and ice was begin
ming to drift En- the sea. The result was
inevitable. ghe next whaler that called at
the island wts able to take home an inter-
esting collection OF bones and skulls of the
Eskimo type to an chronological institution,
but there was no man, woman, or child left
alive to tell the story OF starvation and
death.--From Through the Subarctic Forest,

In a lecture recently given in Edin-
burgh, Able Victor Charbonnel out
lined the plan of a religious parlia-
ment to be held at the Worlds Fair at
Paris in 1900, aud stated its object to
be these First To affirm the edu-
cational value aud social power Of re-
ligion for the realization OF the human
ideal. Seeond-To proclaim religious
liberty, that the conscience of every
man is entitled to tolerance and re-
spect, and to protest against all fanat-
ieism or race or religion. Third-To
seek, in default of doctrinal unity,
the fraternal union of all men, only as
being religious, and to raise above
the differences of sects the principles
in which they are all united.

The celebrated temperance lecturer,
Francis Murphy, said not long ago that
after twenty-five years of sObriety II re-
quired the constant exercise Of his will
power, close communion with God and en-
vironments OF temperance associations to
enable him to refrain from liquor; that
during a recent railway journey he had
taken up glass at the water tank in the
sleeper Tor a drink of water that had boen
used just previously to hold whisky, aud
on bringing Il to his lips the odor OF the
liquor at once aroused such a desire for
liquor that 1t was necessary for him to ex-
ercise great control at the time to resist the
craving for a drink Of liquor.

Daring SKIN of "a parachutist.

Recently q parachutist gave several
exhibitions of his daring skill at Glas-
gov. One afternoon a strong wind
carried his balloon rapidly away, and
il was some time before he could make
a descent. He touched mother earth
a. a moorland spot near farm house,
and an old man stood close by staring
in blank amazement. He had seon
the gaudily dressed being drop down
from the clouds. "What place is
this2" asked the parachutist, in an
authoritative tone. The old man rev.
erently knelt down and clasped his
hands together, and his voice trem-
bled with fervent emotion as no an
vered: "Good Lord, this is the par

Removing stains From silver.

IemoNlnE SllNef.
To remove stains from silver, especi-
ally such as are caused by medicine or
by neglect, use sulphuric acid, rub
bing it on with a little flannel pad,
then rinsing the articles most carefully
at once. For less ingrained stains,
the pulp of lemon, whose juice has
been used for lemon squash, may be
recommended, as both efficient and
harmless. Indian silver and brass are
always cleaned by natives with lemon
or lines. 1t may be as well to warn
housekeepers in these days, when pretty
serving is such q consideration, that,
where one has to reheat food in a sill
yer dish from which it is impossible to
shift the eatable, baking tin should
be half filed with hot water, doubled
sheet of paper should be placed in this
and the silver dish stood upon it, after
which it will take no harm from the
effects of the oven heat. Again, as
eggs and vinegar are alike apt to dis
color plated or silver dishes, always
run little weak aspic jelly over the
silver dish before dishing the mayon-
naise, etc, to be served in it, and if
this coating is allowed to set before
putting in the other materials the dish
will suffer no damage that hot soap
and water will not easily remove.

habit for two reasons: 1t appropriateS'i 'iyor

money OF the young man that formerly
went largely to the saloon-keeper, and It
makes impossible overindulgence in In
toxlcating drinks, because It can be oper-
ated only to advantage by q strong-limbed
and clear-headed rider. The men who
own bicycles to-day are not the million
aires, but the wage earners Of the country,
and their machines were bought from the
money that they were enabled to save by
economizing in some other direction. And
what is more reasonable than that this
economy should be first put in pra tice bY
cutting of the luxury of drinking?
but the other reason why the bicycle q
cutting down the consumption of liquor-be
cause 1t is not the friend of weak and sodden
men-is more potent and will be more last
ing. The athlete in all branches OF sports
nowadays Is eschewing the use of intoXt-
eating drinks, and the wheelmen forming
the largest bands of athletes in this coun-
try, must be given the credit for the great
est decrease In the consumption of liquor.
There are some riders who at first think
they can drink deeply and ride strongly at
the same time; but they are soon unde-
ceived, and quickly join the great major
ity Of abstainers or light drinkers. The
bicycle has been condemned for interfer-
ing with the sacredness of the Sabbath
