A philanthropic old lady, who lives
on small street below Morris, for
several years past has fed daily large
number of sparrows in the front entry
of her house. y great many of the little
birds hover about the house Of their
friend, and perch fearlessly on the steps
and window sills. The children and tie
neighbOrs, strange to say, have the ut
most respect for the birds and take
great care never to interfere with them.
The old lady pays for the regular re-
moval of her ashes and garbage. When
ever the ash man comes the sparrows
are generally perched about on the
ledge of the ash barrel, and the man
will not go near them until the old
lady comes to the door and calls them
all inside. Recently an intruder in the
shape of white owl came to the door,
and there was great excitement among
the children of the neighborhood. They
would not touch it because they
thought it was new pet, but when the
old lady's attention was called to the
owl, she gave the children ice cream
money TO capture it and take it away
from the vicinity, SO that her sparrows
would not be disturbed.-Philadelp

RUM IN AFRICA.
Seventy-Fivc Per Cent. of the Deaths
of Europeans on Coast of Africa
Are Due TO Drink.

! The Anglican bishop of equatorial
Africa has created profound sensation
by stating that IS per cent. of the
deaths of Europeans on the coast of
Africa are due to drink. The excessive
thirst caused by the burning heat; the
unpalatable water, containing deadly
fever germs; the depression that comes
from lack of civilized society. with
feeling akin to inconsistencies there
from, are given as reasons which make
temperance difficult in tropical coun-
tries.
The leading testimony of the highest
medical authorities deserves respectful
consideration. We are told that strong
| drink OF alcohol in the tropics often
proves fatal to both the white and col
ored races, destroying both mind and
body, and that in coast regions like
that of equatorial Africa, nothing short
of total abstinence will assure immun-
ity from its dangers" In the face of
such assertions it is easy to understand
why oriental religions forbid the use
of intoXicants. 1t would be well if our
ANU iSdh CiNIlILtIS anu NnrlSJlanlZerS
would learn this lesson of total alb
stinence from the "heathen."
Recognizing idleness as a most potent
ally of the drink habit, the British have
provided light games and sports among
their soldiers stationed in tropical
countries. America should not be slow
in adopting like measures for its 10000
men jim the Philippines and its several
thousands more in the West Indies.
who are keenly susceptible to tempta-
tions in their peculiar situation.
The European congress, recently in
session in Brussels, and called chiefly
to consider means of averting the dan
ger that threatens to eXtcrminate the
native Africans as well as resident
Europeans, expressed itself as fully
awake to the folly of having allowed
the importation of alcohol among the
Africans.
How slow the world is to learn the
great truth. that all wrongs must at
some time be righted, and that, in the
event of mans Indifference. evil will
perish by the divinely appointed meth
Cd of its own self-destruction.-

HIS SHIELD AND BUCKLER.
A Little Shining Curl and How II
Kept Its Possessor from the
Intoxicating Cup.

Many a rou9h-looking man carries
in his pocket safe from all eyes but his
own, some mcmento or relic that is
to him as a shield and buckler against
the powers of evil.
\ story is told of big, burly miner
who steadily refused to join his COM
rades in their drinking bouts, or in
any of their revels in which evil was
done. He was not surly and morose,
but he steadfastly declined all invita-
tions to take part in his companions
carousals. He was jeered at and sub
iected to all sorts of annoyances, but
Weld he would not. One night, when
the revelry ran high, and many of the
men were half drunk, they declared
that Big Joe" as he was called, simply
had to drink with them"
81 will not, boys" he said, firmly.
They declared that if he did not they
would force liquor down his throat,
and then run him out OF the camp.
You amt no better than the rest
of u.s." said one man, angrily.
Il have not said that | was

well, then, what is it that makes
you hang back this way?"
well, boys, I'll tell yol,' he said.
It's something l don't like to talk
about, but Eli tell you and perhaps
you'll not expect nor want me to drink
with you when I've told you the truth"
He thrust his hand down into an in
side pocket in his gray flannel shirt and
drew forth something wrapped in an
old silk handkerchief. Inside the hand
kerchief was wrapping of tissue pa
per, and in the paper was little shin
ing curl of yellow hair. Big Joe held
the curl up between his thumb and fin
ger and said:
Boys, I've got a little motherless
girl nearly 1900 miles from here, and
that curl came from her lSced. | used
to drink a lot-enougb 80 ruin my
wife's happiness, and chen she was
dying l promised her that I'd never
drink another drop, and that for our
little girls sake I'd be a better man,
and when l left my little one with her
grandmother | promised them both
what I'd promised my wife, and my
little girl cut this curl from her head
and gave it to me to remember her by
and she said: Maybe it will help YOU
to keep your promise, papa 1t has
helped me. I've worn it next my heart
night and day, and I'll never, never
drink drop, nor do anything she
would be sorry to have me do while it
is there. Now do you want me to drink
with you, boys?"
The man who had threatened to Pave

that time forward he was never asked
to break his promise. His little girls

knife. My God! what look. Shame,
humiliation and abject animal terror

Well, he drank his whisky, stood still

Summer DeIicacy.

This is a moist, delicate cake, and is
made with sour milk, which renders it
very tender. At this season of the year,
when milk is beginning to sour easily,
it is well to have a variety of ways in
which to use it. If it is left long, as
everyone knows, it will become unfit
for use, except fol swill. To make this
cake mix two cups of sugar and one cup
of butter. Stir in the yolks of four
eggs, and beat well Add cupful of

For Stout Women.

1t has often been urged, but it seems
well to emphasize by much repetition
that women of generous proportions
should invariably renounce all of these
round WASTED styles, no matter how
beautiful they appear on some other
slenderer figure, or how universally the
rage for them increases. Adopting
these waists is not a matter of age,
for the young, the mature and the
elderly find them comfortable and use
full. 1t is simply matter of figure,
and, for women inclined to stoutness,
there are many close, trim and attrac-
tive models which make them look bet
ter and slenderer than any of the
round" styles, festooned with net,
draped with lace, and finished with
circling ribbon, bells and bows, which
cut off the apparent length of the waist
by two or three inches.--N. Y. Post

Who can count the woes wrought by
intemperance? Who can sum all the
misery it has caused? Who can measure
the depths of woe into which it sinks
its victims? Like a mighty river it
gathers volume by streams from every
channel of life, bearing to the great
gulf the wreckage of everything that is
good. Its history is the history of ruin,
tears and blood. Like the storm, it
spares nothing in its track. Like the

laid foundation and tumbles the strong

AMERICA FOR BOYS.
New York Woman Gives Some Ex-
celIent Reasons for Not Educat-
ing Her Son in Europe.

81 have come home solely on account
of my boy" said a New York widow OF
moderate means, who to the astonish-
ment of her friends suddenly reap
peared in America after prolonged
residence in Europe.
''As far as / am concerned, aLh much
more comfortable abroad, where my
little income goes twice as far and life
is much easier. The girls, too, l can ed
ucate cheaper and better on the other
side, but there is no doubt about it,
American boys should be educated at
home in order to be successful men in
their own country. l have watched the
results quite closely, and in nine cases
out of ten it is like fitting Il square
patch to round hole when they come
home and go to work. For young men
of property who intend living a life of
leisure it is all well enough, but for
those who have their own way to make
it is, in my opinion, a fatal mistake to
educate them there. They lose the
power of assimiliating themselves, so to
speak, and, what is more, they form no
early friendships with their own coun-
trymen. So, after thinking it over,
made up my mind that my boys future
was worth a sacrifice, and here l am,
although it means to me skipping and
striving in New York, when might be
living in ease and plenty on the CONT
nent.
