sob don't that hay smell delight

somewhat ungrammatically, as the
New Hampshire farmer drove her near
a field Of mown grass,
"Humph!' retorted the farmer, sit

The answer illustrates the grim
humor of the New ngland farmer Of
the olden time, whose hereditary sem
tentiousness restricted him TO brief
but strong expressions. Another H.
lustration of this grim, pithy humor is
given in the history OF the Massachu-

one autumn day, had halted the oxen
to rest just as a gentleman, driving a

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, which has recently held its eonven-
ton mt st. Paul, had n paper read before it
In which the point was made that, whiie
the use OF alcoholic liquors had increased
materially in foreign countries, it had in
the last ten years undergone n sensible re-
1uetion in the United States-that is, TAX
Ing tho. number of our people into %ccount.
The writer of this paper went on to say that
as during that time. there had been no
special agitation in favor Of temperance
as there had been no conspicuous Instance
of applications of prohibition laws the only
reason that could be given forthis decrease
In the consumption OF alcoholic liquors in
the United States was the instruction that
had been given in the public schools as to
the disastrous effects Otalcoholw when taken
as Il beverage. 1t seems to us that this IS
one of those cases of an entire mtscOnstruc-
tion of cause. To assume thatth h character
of the American people is being revolution
lied by this class Of instruction in our pub
bic schools is wholly ridiculous. We do not
saythat the instruction is not Of advan-.
tage, but is of only slight advantage. il fol
no other reason because it is only at
tempted in a relatively few localities. Even
II it we're general, we should doub whether
1t would be noticeably effective. The cause
for the decrease in the use Of alcoholic
liquors Ia this country is one which does
not need any anxious seeking, because it
Is obvious to any one who considers the
subject in unparalleled manner. 1t is
growth OF public sentiment against the eN-
cessive use of liquor. In European coun-
tries drunkenness is condoned as an offence
of slight importance. In the United States
it is the exceptional family in which the
drunkenness of one of the members would
not be regarded with Intense horror.
There are few social circles that will freely
admit a person who is known to be au
habitual drunkard, and even Il man who.
occasionally drinks to excess loses caste in
all but somewhat shady society. The
standard has been. set in the upper social
classes, and is gradually penetrating down
through all Of the middle andlower grades;
hence the time is not distant when, even
among those who now look on excessive
drinking with liberation tile excessive
drinker will be taboOed as 20 uni.E asso-
.ciate. These social laws an social seual-
ties are infinitely stronger Ii moro bind
ing in their character than any lhwtlnt.a
Legislature can enact.-Boston Herald.

far into the woods. Several per-
