The "LfvIng-Room."

1t was an old-time custom, which
has gone somewhat out of fashion, to
make a great distinction between the
''best room" and the Giving room"
Into the former, as its name implies,
was gathered the best the house af-
forded in the way of furniture, books
and pictures, and then the shades were
pulled down and the doors closed till
the coming Of some honored guest.
For the Giving room" anything was
good enough, no matter how worn and
shabby and unsightly.
Are not some of us acting on the
same principle in matters more I'M
portant than house furnishings? Do
we not think Dur less courteous man
ners are good enough for the every
day home life? How many of us are
just as desirous of being agreeable at
the family breakfast table as in the
evening when we are invited out to
meet a half dozen strangers? Do we
keep our brightest faces and pleasant
est words and kindest deeds for the
living ROOM" or for that closed,
darkened "best room" into which we
go so seldom?
The 'be.' room" and the Giving
room" should be one. Nothing is toe
good for every day. Let us put the
best we have into our daily life, into
the home, into the room where we
meet our nearest and dearest, instead
Of shutting it away in solitary state
for something more important than
everyday happiness.-Young Peoples
Weekly.

CHURCH MUSIC in ROME.
rhe Opposition to Any Reform Is Yer,
Strong.

Strong.
The question of the character of the
music to be performed in religious SER
ices has again come to the front for.
discussion, says the London Standard.
At the recent congresses held al Ven
ce, Milan and other places a strong.
ceiling has been expressed that the.
lime has come for a return to true
church music-that is to say, to the.
jregorian chant and to the compost
ions of Palestrina and his school. The
Congregation of Rites has several
lines revised the rules which regulate
religious services and the music by
which those services are accompanied. J
But in spite of all the efforts of this
body during a considerable period, the
opposition to any reform presented by
he rectors and chapters of the basili-
,as and churches of Rome, and. above
Ill, by the kapellmeisters who are in
1uenced by the musical art of the de-
sadence, has been so strong that all
he directions of the Congregation of
Rites" have been of no avail. Some
i've years ago a writer in the Civilta
C~attolica, the famous Jesuit review,
one Father de Santi, who is perfectly
lie courant in everything relating to
musical criticism, led a vigorous cam
Daign against all the ecclesiastical mu-
sic of Rome, not ever excepting the
3ope's chapel. He wrote with so much
spirit and in so lively a style that the
Sapellmeisters of the basilicas, the or
ganists and the singers, attacked in
heir own strongholds, besought the
Intervention of the superior authority.
they demanded that silence might be
imposed upon a disputant so bold as
20 suppose that he could raise his
voice against an integral part Of the
ecclesiastical organization of Rome,
Jthers, including Liszt, who, in the
Tine of Cardinal Antonelli, failed in
al his labors to regenerate the relig-
ous music in the Roman churches,
Father de Santi was accordingly TX
PEELED from the Eternal city and the
Civilta Cattolica ceased to write about
music. When, at a later period, the
iery Jesuit obtained permission to re-
urn to Rome, to his rooms in the Via
Respetta, it was on the condition thai
ne should neither write nor dispue up.
On musical matters, nor enter the
places where the music of the mass
was being taught or practiced. Now
t has come to pass that Carolina
Aloisi Masella, the intolerant project
Of the rites, has been removed to the
pope's chancery, and he is succeeded
by Cardinal Mazzella of the Jesuits.

The Greatest Thing.

We do not see when we are the most
useful, when we are doing the most
good in our life. We are in this world
not to do certain things great or
small, but to do the will of God. The
greatest thing for any day is Gods
will for that day. 1t may be only to
lie still on a sick bed and keep sweet.
1t may be only to sing a little song of
peace when we cannot go out to take
our place in the busy streets. We
can not know when we are doing the
most good. l suspect that very often
our bustling activities leave less real
good in the world than some of our
quiet days which seem to us to be al
most lost days. 1t is better for ls,
therefore, to quietly seek to do the will
Of God, not fretting over the particul-
lar form of work or Of resting. God
can use our quiet influence just as
well as our most active effort. Ask
Him for your place each morning
your place for the one day, and then
take that place and fill it with sweet
ness and blessing. G. Miller.

General Neal Dow, who died recently
at Portland, Me-, in the Gath year of
ms age, was the most conspicuous
leader in temperance reform in this
country.
The Idea of wholly prohibiting the
sale OF intoxicating liquors as a bever-
age originated in Maine, and was first
embodied in what for many years was
known as 'the Maine law"
1t is just sixty years ago that Neal
DOW and his associates appeared be-
lore the Maine legislature, bearing a
memorial drawn by General James APP
pleton OF Portland. asking for the
enactment of that law. The memorial
was rejected. Neal Dow kept up the
agitation, however, and was greatly
helped by the excitement attending the
Washingtonian movement,
the object of which was to reclaim the
incorporate. The difficulty of trying
TO reform drunkards, while nothing
was done to restrain the saloons from
making drunkards, impressed so many
minds that Neal BOWS demand for the
legal prescription of the traffic found
increased support.
He Travelled about the state, urging
the reform, and did not abate his zeal,
though he was several times threatened
with violence. In 1851 the legislature
passed through all it's stages, in a sim
gle day, an act which outlawed the liq-
uor traffic, and made liquors liable to
seizure and destruction wherever
found.
The law was repealed in 1856, only
TO be re-enacted the following year
with more stringent penalties, and in
1884 the principle of prohibition was
incorporated in the state constitution
General Dow accumulated wealth in
business, but his habits were simple.
He had a vigorous and striking person
allty, and was susceptible no more to
rldicule than to threats. He began his
exertions for temperance at the age of
Il, when, as captain of a fire company
IN Portland, he made a strong and sue
cesstul opposition to the practice of
providing liquors for the firemen.
Through all his long life he was a
total ab%stainer. He was twice elected
mayor of Portland, and twice a member
OF the legislature, and in 1880 was the
prohibition candidate for president.
General BOWS military title was
gained in the civil war, in which he
served with distinction, especially in
the attack on Port Hudson, where he
was twice wounded, and was afterward
captured and taken to Libby prison.
Such men as General Dow are always
in advance of public sentiment, and
their ardor often leads them to adopt
policies which to conservative judg-
ments seem mistaken; but they both
kindle and exemplify moral enthus.
iasm, and public sentiment advances
more rapidly than it would without

ALPHABET OF PROVERBS.

A grain of prudence Is worth a pound
of craft,
Boosters are cousins to liars.
Denying a fault doubles it.
Envy shoots at others and wounds
herself.
Foolish fear doubles danger.
God teaches us good things by our
own hands.
He has worked hard who has moth
ing to do.
1t costs to revenge wrongs than
to suffer them.
Knavery is the worst trade.
Learning makes a man fit company
for himself.
Modesty is a guard to virtue.
Not to hear conscience is the way
to silence 1t.
One hour today is worth two tomor-
row.
Proud looks make foul work in fair
faces.
Quiet conscience is quiet sleep.
Richest is he that wants least.
Some faults INDUCED are little
thieves that let in greater ones.
The boughs that bear most, hang
lowest.
Upright walking Is sure walking.
Virtue and happiness are mother
and daughter.
Wise men make more opportunities
than they find.
You neve lose by doing a good act
Zeal without knowledge Is fire With
out light.

God rewards not as man rewards.
His Gains do not all bear their punish
ment written darkly across their
brows, but is it any the less craven On
their hearts? Gods sons and daugh-
tiers may not trail their royal robes
visibly through the streets, but does
that prove that the white stone
wherein their regal name Is written
is not worn beneath the humble
gown?
There is a law of compensation in
human life, but 1t deals in spirit gair
and loss. The longer we live, and the
more deeply w think and feel the more
clearly do we see that there is II
human life a justice higher than "po,
etic justice"-a law above human law;
and there is an eternal law of com
pensation, though the scales held IN
Gods hand are not fitted with gross
material weights.

Aluminium Hairnlns.

New York Sun: Aluminium wire Is
made of various sizes and used for q
variety of articles. Among it's newer
uses is the manufacture of doors ana
window screens. When exposed to this
weather such screens do not rust.
Aluminium wire is used in the manu-
,acture of hairpins. In a few cases ia
his city aluminium wire has been sold
% put on roofs for s as clothes lines.
The wire sold for this purpose was
No. 6 gauge, which costs so cents a
pound, and 1000 feet of which weighs
.wenty-four pounds.
Aluminium pigs sell now at about
~ cents a pound, which is about half
the price of a year ago. The sale OF
manufactured articles of aluminium ID
all the time increasing, and things in
great variety are made from 1t.

The close relation of alcoholism to
insanity is shown by the statement of
a specialist-Kraft Ebing-that all
forms of insanity, from melancholia to
~imbecility, are found in alcoholism. 1t
Is artificial. 1t begins with a slight
maniacal e~xcitation, thoughts flow lu-
cidly, the quiet become loquacious, the
modest bold. There is need of mus
cular action. The emotions are man
ifest in laughing, singing and dancing.
Now the aesthetical ideas and moral
impulses are lost control of, the weak
side of the individual is manifested,
his secrets are revealed. He is dog
matte, cruel, cynical. dangerous. He
insists that he is not drunk just as the
insane insists on his sanity. Then his
mind becomes weak, his consciousness
dim, illusions arise. He stammers,
movements are uncertain.
The principal character of these men
tai disturbances consist in a moral and
intellectual weakness. Ideas become
lax as to honor and decorum. There
Is a disregard of the duties of citizen
ship. ~Irritability is a concomitant. The
| slightest thing causes suspicion and
anger which are uncomfortable. There
is a weakness of will to carry out good
! resolutions, and a consciousness of this
leads some to request to be placed in
an asylum, for they are morally GER
tain in advance that they cannot re-
sist temptation. Thus one has beer
known to have his daughter carry his
wages home as he could not pass a sa-
loon on his way without going In If
he had any money with him. Now. 1t
Is weakness of memory, a difficulty in
the chain of thought and a weak per-
ception. until imbecility is reached.
There may be disturbances in brain
circulation, causing restless sleep, anx-
ious dreams, confusion, dizziness and
headache. Such %circulatory disturb
ances in the sense organs car give rise
to Authorizations. There is a trembline
in hands, face, lips and tongue. In
short, there is a gradual mental and
bodily degeneration.

B.. 8 o. Improvement Completed.

Ds % VI improvements SOmpiobeus
The improvements on the main line
of the Baltimore and Ohio, west of,
and between Martinsburg, w. Va, and
North Mountain, were completed No.
vember LIST. They cover a distance of
nearly four miles, starting three miles
west Of Martinsburg, and extending
some distance west of Myers Hole,
which is near the North Mountain sta
ton. At Myers Hole the line was
changed, taking out some very objec-
tionable curvature, and the roadbed
raised nearly fifteen feet, eliminating
two grades of AZ feet per miles which
came together at Myers Hole, and sub
stituting therefor an almost level
track. This point on the road has
always been a dangerous n and
many freight wrecks have occurred
there. Apart from doing away with
the dangerous feature of two sharp
down grades coming together, as was
the case in this instance, the saving IN
operation of the road by the change
will be very large, as it enables the
tons per train to be greatly increased
and reduces the liability to accident to
the minimum.
At Tablers the road bed has been
lowered about thirteen feet, and the
same at Tabs, besides taking out OBJ
~jectionable curvature and reducing the
rate of grades at these points from AZ
feet per mile to ten feet per mile, thus
increasing the cars that "a be hauled
per train. Though these improve
ments have cost quite a sum of money
the expenditure is fully justified by
the great saving in operation.

A plan for rendering paper as tough

recently introduced on the Continent.
1t consists in mixing chloride Of zinc
with the pulp in the course of manu-

greater the degree of concentration of
the zinc solution the greater will be
the toughness of the paper.

Mems Views and Reviews.

Gladstone, England's grand Old man,
who has behind him the greatest record
of a lifetime, was asked what he con-
sidered the greatest demand of the coun-
try. His answer was: Strong young
men," He considered England's suprem-
acy on land and sea dependent neither
upon wealth nor far-reaching territory,
but upon strong young men. The sum
of the characters of the young men of a
country is the character and strength
of the country.
