THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.

The s1ber Home-The Action of Alcoho
on the Human Organism-How it In
te.feres With the Function of the
biood-Makes the Jude M ent dc ct,ve.
Ihe nome OF sweet sobriety-
An! blest indeed are they
Whose happy fate it is to dwell
- Iherein from day to day!
NO drunken brawls disturb their peace.
:, NO d1scords ever come
10 mar the harmony that fills
And rules the sober home
There chubby children gather round
The fire, when falls the night.
And tales are told and songs are sung
In laughter, love and light!
And mother tries to look severe
And hush the children glee-
But smiles instead, for love OF those
Who gather at her knee.
And when the fathers step is heard
Outside, upon the stair,
What Joyous cries and welcominCs
Are flung upon the air!
A promised doll to Nell he brings
The baby gets ball,
And toys for Ben and books for Jen.
And kisses for them all!
An, many are the hearts that lack
A home-life such as this,
A loving mothers cheerful smile.
A fathers kindly kiss.
On, pray that every lonely child
Meath heavens starry dome
May know and feel the peace that reiyns
Within sober home.

In general the phrase American hu.

catching the ludicrous and grotesque
side of life. Yet the humor of Amer
ica today is far deeper, maintains the
Chicago Times Herald. Grim-visaged
war is not the companion to evoke
light merriment even in the most flip.
pant minds. The righting of great
wrongs does not tend to idle jesting.
There are quips and jokes of the hour,
but they bite with a mordant sting, and
beneath the surface words betray the
serious temper of the time. A zeal
Gus orator for war was asked: "You
will go to the front at once?" "No, but
my brother is ready" he replied, and
asked: "Will you go?" 81 suppose
so, since I have no brother" was the
dry retort of the man who had argued
for peace. In this reply rings the
quality of the speech of that great
American, Abraham Lincoln. Such
humor is Of the very essence of wis.
dom. 1t betokens loyalty to the will
of the people even through contempt
for the inconsistent advocate of an
unwelcome policy. But humor is q
mood not always of whimsical or
ironical turn. That which now governs
the minds of citizens is relentless and
forbidding in its revolt against cruelty,
injustice, and smarting sense of be.
trayal. This republic, standing fore
most in the eye of the world, has
| shown the nations that the humor OF
America is imperative in its demands
for fair dealing and respect for the
rights of men.

The italian minister of instruction
has issued circular to the directors of
schools, in which he complains that
instruction in domestic duties is too
much neglected in the schools for
girls, the instruction impaired being

Some of the Dangers OF Alcohol.

Speaking OF alcoholism in women, DR.. Ag-
nes Sparks says that, used rs factor to spur
tagging energy, it is extremely dangerous,
because it registers its reception each time
on the delicate nerves and is apt to form u
habit in this way that cannot be broken
without pain and trouble.
Inebriety from a fondness for alcohol is
hardly ever found in women; its origin
usually lies, she says, in perturbed physical
conditions. Women are cured more easily
than men, she declares, and hypnotism is
stages. Let alcohol alone,'' is the medi-
cal woman's advice to her sisters; sit will
do you no good, as it gives only temporary
and false relief, and will do you much
harm by leaving real and lasting effects"

Ravages of Drink Among Women.

The Monitor, of San Francisco recently
spoke rs follows on the subject of the
saloon: ''Now and again some Sensational
occurrence draws our attention to the
fact that the ravages of drink among
women are far greater than we suspect.
There is IL certain dissemination to touch
this subject, but we are coming to the con-
cusion that an exposure Of the drinking
habits of women is absolutely necessary.
The side entrances OF the saloons in this
city are frequented by crowds OF girls
bearing respectable names and apparently
walking in the paths of righteousness.
Mothers are too careless about their daugh-
tiers. When the scandal does come the
blame is only too often to be laid at the
door OF parents loveblind or lazy"

Another new use OF the A-ray has
recently been discovered. Much diff.

tinguishing the masculine from the

tains many unripe eggs, rich in min
