Temperance Work in England,

Lady Henry Somerset's recently issued
report on the industrial farm colony at
Duxhurst, Reigate, England, In connection
with the British Women's Christian Tenn
perance Association, demonstrates that the
two chief features adopted In the starting
of the colony-the village system and out
door occupation, such as gardening. fruit
growing and farming-have proved their
value. The village system gives the real
sense ofhome which no conventional instl-
tuition, however comfortably ordered, could
ever convey; and the cottages are furnished
with only the appliances Of good, ordinary
artisans dwellings, clean, attractive and
dainty. They teach the first lesson OF what
home should be; and the women who,
through drink, have wrecked their own
households, realize the comfort that clean
illness and sobriety can glve-a very low
motive, perhaps, for giving up drink and
leading virtuous life, but powerful one;
Tor the very natures over which intoXicants
have the most power are the ease-lovlng,
often lovable characters to whom comfort,
when in their saner moments, would ap-
peal most strongly.
Its popularity supposed that, once wom-
an takes to drink, she can never be re-
formei; but the village at Duxhurst re-
flutes that slander completely, for out OF
the sixty-one patients who have passed
through the home forty-two completed
their term Of one year, and out OF that
number only seven have failed. Thirty
three are at the present moment doing
well, one has died, and another dlappeared.
The pretty little homes have awakened In
many a laudable ambition to attain the
same result OF comfort and cleanliness In
their own dwellings when they return to
them; and the outdoor employment has
helped to strengthen the physical system,
which was slowly being ruined by drink.
Two new cottages are about to be erected,
but even they will not accommodate all the
applicants for admission"

War Humor at Santiago.

Captain Evans is responsible for q
choice bit of sailor humor which de-
serves to be rescued for history before
it is lost in some dusty pigeon-hole in
the Navy Department.
On the day after the destruction OF
Cervera's ships the Spanish warship
Reina Mercedes was discovered in the
Santiago Harbor channel, evidently
intending to finish what Hobson with
the Merrimac had begun. Then Cap
tain Adams signalled from the Iowa;
''The Spaniards are trying to sink a
ship to block the channel. They need
help"
Even the busines-like iackey who
was fastening the signal flags to the
halyards must have laughed as the
Captain ordered the letters which
spelled ont the last three words.
OF course feet officered by Ameri-
cans was not slow to act on the piece
of grim humor, and minute after the
signal was hoisted the Iowa, Massa-
chusetts, Texas aud Vesuvious were
giving the Reina Mercedes all the
"help" she needed. Their shot and
shell sank her before she reached her
intended berth in the narrowest part
Of the channel, and left the way into
the harbor open to our ships.-New
York World.

Rev. G. II. Zimmerman, OF Evanston,
preached in the Chicago First Methodist
Episcopal Church on recent Sunday on
the relation OF civil government to the
kingdom OF God. Among other thing he
said:
"The Scriptures teach that governments
are ordained OF God to be instruments OF
righteousness for the advancement Of His
kingdom among men. The fundamental
and Indispensable element Of the kingdom
OF God Is Righteousness. This righteous
ness is as binding upon corporations and
governments as ii is upon individuals.
There is no greater reason why any In
dividual should be righteous than there is
why the government Of Chicago, of the
State OF Illinois and Of the United States
should be righteous. The consequences OF
corporate wrongdoing are most disastrous.
Not to mention other evils, consider how
great an obstruction the liquor traffic is to
the progress OF the kingdom OF God In Chi
cago. There are in round numbers 5000
saloons and 600 churches In Chicago ten
times as many saloons as churches, with
more than ten times the patronage. The
saloons do business every day and night In
the week; the churches are open one day
in the week. In these conditions 1t Is not
surprising that the increase in church
membership is not keeping pace with
growth ofpopulation. The saloon and its
associate evils do more to ruin the people
materially and morally than the church
can do to save them. We may pour out
our money like water to evangelize our
city, but for every recruit the church
makes for heaven the saloon makes ten
for hell. The first and most imperative
duty Of all who desire the progress OF the
kingkom is to unite for righteous govern
ment in city, state and nation"

Shots at the Rum Traffic.

Rum does not mix with reason.
retormer should reform himself first.
II he turns his attention to others before
himself he begins at the wrong end.
The love OF liquor and the love Of lucre
seem to be two great causes of scandal in
the army during our late unpleasantness
with Spain.
Temperance and labor are the two best
physicians OF men; labor sharpens the ap-
petite, and temperance prevents him from
indulging in excess.
The Review OF ST. Louis says: "0ther
things being equal he endures hot weather
best who is least addicted to the use Of in
toxicating liquors"
There is no mistake about it, the men
who abstain from intoxicating drink have
an immense advantage both physically and
morally over the rest OF the community.
Two hundred and ffty-three saloon
keepers have gone out OF business in Chi
cago since July /. The war tax on beer is
the cause. BY the first OF the year, the
city collector says, 400 more dealers will
close their doors At present there are
about 5000 saloons in the city.
Two lives for one cent is recent sicilian
record. A saloon-keeper In Palermo drove
a knife into the heart OF a fifteen-year-old
boy who was unable to pay the cent he
owed for his drinks. The boys three
brothers shot down the assassin before the
police 90. n Nv .-%rk 4-d 4-e np-T Undar
