His Only Love.

A Horton spinster has quite a ro-
nance connected with her life. In her
younger days she had a sweetheart and
he asked her to be his wife, but as she
was too young to marry she refused
him. They separated and the years fed
by. bringing with them much sorrow
for the eiddy miss. Ten years after.
ward, on the very day Of the month Oh
which she refused him, came letter
from the sweetheart Of her childhood
asking again for her hand. She did not
love him, but decided to never marry
any one unless it be this man. She re-
fused again. and every year since then
she gets letter on their anniversary
with the same old question written
therein. The letters are not full Of love.
Oh, no, simply question, that is all
dozen words or more written in q
businesslike way, with his name signed

some day, but very likely not.-Hor.

The latest census Of Egypt shows that
the country is about the only one in the
world where the men are in a majority
over the women. The male sex in the
khedive's dominions exceeds the female
by 100000. and it is curious to note
that this numerical predominance Of the
male is very evenly spread over both
upper and lower Egypt. It is only in

Who pays the bills? Who feeds the

the drunkard's wife? Who supports the
beggarly tramps who, having wasted their
money in drink, wander about the country?
Who repairs the losses caused by the fail
ure of Incorporate merchants and reckless
and half-intoxicated business men? Who
makes good the damages cnused by the
blunders of drunken workmen, and the
hindrances of business caused by the
sprees of Incorporate employees? Who
pays for the railroad wrecks caused by
drunken conductors and engineers? Who
builds the asylums where crazy drunkards
are kept? Who supports the idiotic chill
dren OF drunken men? Who pays the at
torneys, and jures, and judges who try
drunken criminals? Who pays the ex-
penses of trials and commitments and exc
cutions occasioned by the crimes OF drunken
men? Who pays for the property destroyed
and burned by drunken men? Who builds
and supports almshouses, which but for
drink might remain unoccupied? Who en-
dures the suffering, and losses, and brutal
ity, which are due to the recklessness and
insanity OF drunken husbands and fathers?
Who pays for the inquest held on drunk
ards found dead by the waysde? Who
pays for pauper's coffin, and for digging
a grave in Potter's field, when the last

A woman's Nerve.

You may talk about naval heroes and
rough riders all you like, but for su-
perhuman nerve and colossal daring,
commend me to woman I saw in O
dry goods shop in town, only the other
morning. had an excellent oppor.
unity to observe her carefully, for she
stood precisely where L desired to
stand while she--well, thisis what she
did. She asked the salesman to show
her certain piece of red cashmere.
Then she produced from her pocket
The cut paper pattern of child's
dresss, and calmly pinned the pieces
to the cloth. The salesman stood po-
litely by, thinking, if salesman ever
has time to think, that she desired to
ascertain the quantity required for the
garment she intended to make, but
she didn't intend to make any garment
at all. After she had pinned the
whole pattern carefully in place, she
took it off and rolled it up. There
was CLEAN of triumph in her eye.
"Thank you," she said. That's all
[ wanted. 1 knew it didn't take four
yards. That dressmaker has just kept
that extra yard and half, that's what
she's done"
But myl my! Think of dress
maker reckless enough to try to de-
eeive woman like that!-Washingt

A Little Suggestion.

There exist in many organizations which
sail under tho name "fraternal," customs
OF conviviality that have no business there,
that are sources of temptation to the mem
bers, and to outsiders The cause OF much
scandal. There is no reason why, at this
late day, men can not gather to transact
business, or even for sociability, without
the Introduction OF liquor. Beer parties
among people with any pretentions to re-
hnement are out OF date as occasions OF
entertainment, and the societies that still
adhere othis old ignorant custom are far
In the rear OF the procession. There is in.
deed marked improvement OF late years
In this respect, but unfortunately there
are still organizations not only unobjec-
tionable but praiseworthy in every other
way, whose record in this matter is not
clear. Total abstainers in such societies
should make their influence felt on the
question, and should do all in their power
to combat and defeat Gu stom which is
not conducive to the good OF the members
either morally or physically.

A Vegetable Battery.

An electrical tree has recently been
discovered in the forests of India, it is
claimed, by German scientist. The
character of the tree was learned
through the fact that it WAS avoided by
birds and amin ais. It's leaves are SO
strongly electrified that they will give
severe shock to any ono touching
them. The remarkable forest dcnizen
is called 'philotacea electrica." It's
electrical strength is said to vary ac-
cording to the time of day; at noon it
seems to be more electrical than at any
other time, and its power almost en-
'lrely disappears at midnight.

The Chaste and Cold Moon.

When the poet referred to the moon
IS chaste and cold he spoke better
:han he knew. Observations by the
great Yerkes telescope are said to
confirm the belief of astronomers that
the moon is dead planet, without
water, atmosphere or vegetation. It's
lunar night of fourteen days must, it
is believed, bring its temperature
down to two hundred degrees below
ireezing, while during it's day of the
same length the temperature probably
oever rises above the freezing point.

Temperance Notes.

Deep drinking means shallow thinking.
Drink does not Danish care, it invites
and fosters 1t.
Beer glasses are very poor glasses through
which to view the future.
When the mind, like a tired animal, de-
sires rest, do not whip it up with fiery
stimulants.
Drunkenness is condition of oblivion to
every duty and responsibility that man
owes either to God or to society.
The sober man is comparatively secure
man. He Is secure from the thousand and
one temptations that befall the drinking
man.
There has never been so little drinking
as at present, and never such a strong
tendency toward moderation in quarters
where alcoholic Indulgence Is general.
This is fact impossible to controvert, be-
cause the most careful figures bear out
this very hopeful statement.
