the mothers own words. She said:
''On the 2Sth of Sept, 1886, while in the
bloom of health. Beatrice was suddenly
and severely afflicted with spinal menin-
gifts. Strong and vigorous before, in five
weeks she became feeble and suffered from
q paralytic stroke which twisted her head
back to the side and made 1t impossible
for her to move limb. Her speech. how
ever, was not affected. We called in our
family doctor, one of the most experienced
and successful practitioners in the city.
He considered the case very grave one.
Before long little Beatrice was compelled
TO wear plaster paris jacket. Prominent
physicians were consulted, electric bat
teries were applied, but no benefit was no.

BUSY In my kitchen one afternoon was
startled by the cry OF Mamma from little
Beatrice who was creeping towards me. I
had placed her on an imprOvised bed in the
parlor comfortably close to the fireside
and given her some books and playthings.
She became tired OF waiting for me to come
back and made up her mind to go to me,
30 her story, My Pink Pills made me
walk, which she tells everyone who comes
to our house, was then for the first time
verified. She has walked ever since. She
has now taken about nine boxes OF the
pills and her pale and pinched face has
been growing rosy. and her limbs gained
strength day by day. She sleeps all night
long now, while before taking the pills she
could rest but few hours at time" DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are
sold by all druggists.

The Campfire.

"Men build fires in various places
10 cook their coffee by or to make
themselves warm or for company's
sake" said Civil War veteran, "and
any fire is likely to be more or less

The fire to which the name of camp
Gre properly belongs, the campfire of
song and story, is the cooks fire at
the end of the company street; built
on the ground, under pole supported
at the ends by crotched sticks driven
in the earth, and from which the camp
kettles are suspended. This was the
gathering point Of the company.
'tMen did not always stand about
the campfire, it depended upon cir
cumstances and on the weather. They
met here, of course, at meal times.
and there were times when men would
stand around the fire and smoke and
talk. And then it might be that the
men would keep their tents, playing
cards, or smoking there, or mending
their clothes, or polishing up their ac-
coutrements. So that there were
times when the fire was quite desert
ed, OF when, perhaps, there might be
seen there solitary figure, man
who had come to light his pipe.
"But though it might be deserted
the fire still burned. Sometimes on
cold and windy nights tho wind
would blow it about and scatter it.,
and sometimes, when it was no longer
attended, the rain would put it out,

fire there by day and bed of embers
by night, and here was the soldiers

Alcoholism in France.

Tho baneful influence OF drunkenness on
the people of France is vividly portrayed
in the following extract from a book pub
lished few years ago by a close student
of social conditions In that country. The
author saws:
'The great dark cloud on the horizon is
alcoholism. Doubtless its influence is felt
on all classes Of society; but 1t Is, above all :,
the sconrge Of the people. 1t is scourge
of recent date fin France], one that has
appeared In the last thirty or forty years.
Alcoholism Is "a cosmopolite. 1t can be
assigned to no native land. 1t has become
acclimated little everywhere. Since
through heredity 1t has entered the blood
and marrow OF the people, and has spread
alike in country and city, it has alarmed,
first, physicians and lawyers, and, little by
little ali thinkers. The race is stricken In
aid prisons give daily evidence OF its prog
ress. In some countries 1t is easier to
count those who are not than those who
are addicted to alcoholism. Add to this
that what is now drunk Is radically differ
ent from what was drunk in old times. 1t
is not in the domain of ideas only that our
age has discovered fraud. It's material as
well rs its moral sustenance is poisoned.
The future is poisoned, and coming gen.
erations are doomed to blight, insanity and
crime. The consequences of alcoholism
economic. hygienic, moral. political and
social-can never be calculated. OF nine
tenths Of the ruin, disease, accidents,
crimes, fanaticism and popular disturb
ances we can truly exclaim, The cause is
alcohol
Alcoholism ravages the youth OF the
people to frightful extent. There is
hardly form of amusement without it..
1t disturbs and destroys healthful pleas
ures; 1t prevents physical culture; it
neutralizes the effects of social meetings
where good fellowship and relaxation are
sought. Every meeting, every excursion,
no matter what its object, runs the risk
OF ending in drinking bout. Manners
become coarse, and talk and songs brutal.
What hope can there be In the future for u
youth given over to alcohol? A demo-
cracy rests on the good sense of the people,
on the wisdom and energy of its citizens,
ON the spirit of order, CT work, of economy.
For all these things one can tremble as
long as absinthe and brandy [favorite
drinks In Francel gain ground. They are

The Cost of One DRINK,

Some men are so made that the mere
taste OF liquor will kindle in them raging
thirst for more.
A doctor and his friend we're once talk
ing together in front OF saloon when q
master mechanic, a man of amiable and ex-
eelient character, first-class workman,
full of business, with an interesting family,
respected by everybody, and bidding fair
to be one of the leading men of the city,
came up to them and laughingly said:
well, have just done what never did
before In my life."
"Ah, what was that?"
"Why, Mr.. - has owned me bill for
work for a long time and dunned him for
the money till I was tired, but minute
for the money. Well, he said, 'I'll pay
it to you IL you'll step in here and get u
drink with me- NO said 1, Il never
drink-never drank in my life.' WELL he
replied, do as you please; II you won't
drink with me, won't pay your bill-that's
all! But told him I could not do that
However, finding he would not pay the
bill, rather than lose the money, just
went in and got the drink And he
laughed at the strange occurrence as he
concluded.
physicians companion, an old, discreet,
shrewd man, turned to him, and In q most
impressive tone, said:
''Sir, that was the dearest drink that ever
crossed your lips, and the worst bill you
ever collected"
And terribly did time verify that predic-
tion. In less than twelve months he was q
confirmed, disgraced sor, vagabond in
society, curse to those who loved him, n
loathing and shame wherever he went.
At last he died horrible death in IN in
frmary from disease produced solely by
intoxication.
Temperance Physiological Necessity.
The influence of all drugs which affect
the nervous system must be in the direc-
tion OF disintegration. The healthy mind
stands in clear and normal relations with
nature. 1t feels pain as pain. 1t feels ac-
tion as pleasure. The drug which con-
ceals pain or gives false pleasure when
pleasure does not exist forces q lie upon
the nervous system. The drug which dis
poses to reverie rather than to work which
makes US feel well when we are not we'll,
destroyes the sanity of life. All stimu-
lants, narcotics, tonics which affect the
nervous system in whatever way reduce
the truthfulness OF sensation, thought, and
action. Toward insanity all such influences
lead; and their effect, slight though 1t be,
Is OF the same nature us mania. The man
who would see clearly, think truthfully,
and act effectively must avoid them all.
Emergency aside, he can not safely force
upon his nervous system even the smallest
falsehood. And here lies the one great un-
answerable argument for total abstinence;
not abstinence from alcohol alone, but
from all nerve poisons and emotional ex-
cesses.-ProfessoT D. s. Jordan, in The
Popular Science Monthly.

THE. KAISER AT THE TOMB.

In 1881 King kalakaua stood on the
deck of a steamer lying in the port OF
Suez. surrounded in the early sunlight
by the Mohammedan suite of the
Khedive in brilliant uniforms. a Brit
ish officer, a travelling companion from
Bengal, pointed out to the king the
distant outlines of Mount Sinai. The
king desired to visit the mountain. The
officer replied: lit is in the hands of
robber priests who show it for hire.
The king asked: why do the Chris
tan nations permit it?'' The officer
again replied: they call it reality,
but they treat the story as if it was a
myth
Today, the most sacred spot upon
the earth is in the hands of the ''un-
speakable" Turk. Where, nearly 1000
years ago, to the listening ears of
night came the glad song OF the
morning stars. and the blue depths Of
the Gallileean sea fell into a hoIier
calm, and the new light flashed on the
hills of Jerusalem; where the earth
was trodden by the feet of the Man OF
Sorrows; where the blood of His cruel
fixion fell into the pathetic dust, and
His body is buried,-glistens today, the
bayonet of the cruel Infidel, and above
it all are the vulgar voices Of wrang
ling, rioting and fighting crowd, while
mercenary priests hold the sacred
sepulchre for hire, as if it were a Dime
Museum In many climes, the bodies
of men, 'fthe worms of the dust" lie in
stately and dignified repose, but the
body Of the Man of all ages lies in the
treacherous care of a race that puts to
sword and iron with pitiless ferocity
His followers, and butchers the babes
He would, if alive, have taken into His
arms and blessed
The Christian nations look on. Great
