NOn.Church.u0ing Men.

Rev. Edward McGlynn, ID. d.,
writing on "What is the Good Ct
Going to church," in the June
Ladies Home Journal, says that
"it is a good thing TO 60 to church,
because religion is a good thing-in
fact, the best and greatest thing in
the world and the church is pc
culiarly the home Of religion and OF
its expression in worship. The men
who do not go to church need most
the good things the church would
give them. They are living in their
lower natures-lives, at best, OF re-
fined or aesthetic animalism, but
more probably immoral, corrupt
and sensual. Loss of religion, Oh
lukewarmness in it, result common
ly from violations of the moral law
from the loss of honesty, chastity
or sobriety. Honest, not hypocrlt-
ical, church going would bring mer
back to virtue and piety through in
struction, prayer and worship,
through purifying and strengthen
ing sacraments, and through sym
pathy, good example and mutua
help. Right reason teaches the i'm
mortality of the soul, the existence
Of God, the filial relation of man tc
God, and the moral law engraven
on mems hearts by the Creator.
Right reason also teaches that obe-
dience to the moral law is necessary
for mans happiness here and here
after, and for the best good of hu-
man society. Therefore, if there
we're no Christian revelation mol
Christian church at all, wise and
true men would form ethical and re-
ligious societies, to have the aid OF
association in the greatest of all
concerns. -

What Clean Linen Does.

Men often assert that the average
man is neater in his everyday APP
pearance than the average woman /;
white linen collars and cuffs have
procured this reputation for men.
Take a man with a shabby hand
me-down suit of clothes on his back
and let him put on spotless shirt,
cuffs and collars, and he looks
spick and span. Put ever so cheap
a ready made dress on a woman,
with a white linen collar, white
wash tie and snowy cuffs, and shell
look Just as neat as her brother
There's one weakness nine out ol
ten women have, though, when il
comes to cuffs and collars. They
will think that collar will do tc
wear one more time, when a mar
would toss it into his laundry bag
Nothing gives one SO untidy an ap-
pearance as soiled linen, and there
is no excuse for women econ omiz
ing in this particular.

Best WAY to Make Ice Cream.

Where cream alone is used in
making ice cream one-half or one
third of the quantity used should
be scalded, the sugar dissolved in
the scalded portion and when cool
added to the rem aining quantity OF
cream. Where cream is not OBJ
tainable, milk may be used enrich
ed by the yolks of eggs, allowing
four to each quart of milk. Scald
the milk in a double boiler; beat
the eggs and sugar together; add to
the hot milk, cook for a moment,
then strain into the ice cream
mould and freeze.-June Ladies

TRUTH ABOUT ALCOHOL.
Highest Scientific Authorities Pronounce
il Poison.

The civilized nations OF the earth
are putting cause and effect together
on the alcohol question as never be-
fore. In France, Switzerland and
Belgium the increasing use OF alec
hol is recognized as the cause of a
physical decline in stature that Is
filling those nations with alarm for
their future. Close investI CATION is
proving 10 the kaiser that the beer
drinking soldier has only about
eighty per cent. OF the endur-
ance of the total abstainer, and
economists are calling attention to
the bad effects that increasing drink
habits are having upon German in
Idustries. The young Car OF Rus
sia, alarmed at the infoads which
he sees alcohol making upon his
army and people, IL trying to stem
the tide.
Thoughtful Englishmen are say
ing that Brltains greatest enemy Is
alcohol. In our own country Its
effect upon our soldiers in home
camps and on the field has been
made sadly evident to the American
people. The truth against alcohol
lis out. Everything that its advo-
Gates can say in it. favor is contro-
vertei by the strongest scientific
authorities of the world, who pro-
nounce it a poison-the genius OF
degeneracy. Nothing can hide this
truth from the people and thell
children whose heritage it is.
The per capita consumption OF
alcohol has begun to decline in this
country, although its consumption
is increasing in other countries.
The New York Medical Record puts
this decline during the last ten
years at 80 per cent. Prior to that
time there was a continual increase
During those years some of our pro
hibitory laws have been repealed
Others have been weakened Less
rather than more temperance plat
form work has been done and more
than 4 100000 people have come tc
us from foreign lands, bringing with
them the alcoholic habits of the old
world.
In the face of all these unfavor
able conditions why has the pei
capita consumption Of alcohol in
this country decreased during this
time while previously it increased
IOur English friends are doing as
much church, society and Band Of
Hope work as we, and perhaps
more, yet England's drink bill fol
1887 ran up to SIG 100000 more
than that Of the preceding year.
The only new feature introduced
into temperance work in this coun'
TRY during the past ten years sc
generally as to touch all sections,
land the only method of importance
lin which our temperance work
differs from that of England, is that
Iof temperance education in the pub
Ilic schools. 1t is this which is lay
ling the foundation for the intelli
gent sobrlety of the future Ameri
can. We would not for a moment
question the value of other temper
Iance efforts which have helped tc
secure these results, but the figures
show that such efforts without tenn
Iperance education were inadequate
to produce this decline. Mrs. Mary

The Breath of Flowers.

The odors of flowers do not, as a
general rule, exist in them as in a
store or in a gland, but they are de-
veloped a. an exhalation. While
the flower breathes it yields fra
GRANGE, but kill the flower, and fra
grance ceases.
Ii has not been ascertained when
the discovery was made OF con-
densing, as it we're, the breath OF
the flower during life; what we know
is, that if living flower be placed
near to butter, grease, animal fat
or oil, these bodies absorb the odor
given of by the blossom, aud in turn
themselves become fragrant.
If we spread fresh unsalted butter
upon the inside Of two desert plates,
and then fill one of the plates with
gathered fragrant blossoms of cle-
mats, covering them over with a
second creased plate, we shall find
that in twenty-four hours the grease
will become fragrant. The Bios
SONS, though separated from the
parent stem, do not die for some
time, but live and exhale cdor,
which is absorbed by the fat.
To remove the odor from the fat,
the fat neat be scraped of the plates
and put into alcohol; the odor then
leaves the grease and enters into
the spirit, which thus becomes
scent" and the grease again be
comes odorlegs
