The taxpayers of Mr.. Dole's funny

some months ago that Minister

The long suffering taxpayers have

Cooper and his satellites are driving
the willing horse to death.

DRINK LIKE A LADY.
Poor Creatures Memory of Her Early
Home Full of Bitterness
and Regret.

A pastor, writing to the Christian
Observer, says:
Once, when my field of labor in this
Gospel temperance work was in one of
the interior towns of the middle states,
| met on the principal avenue young
woman, former pupil in the Sunday
school in distant village. A moments
conversation showed me how the cruel
yulture had done itx ghoulish work.
The spirit of the Good Samaritan moved
me. l prayed that l might be able
to tHrn her hayward steps. The piety
of blessed childhood's days and scenes,
associations sweet and sacred, hallowed
memories, early playmates-all, were
presented in the brilliant color of hope
and trust A mist Allied her eyes.
Come, I'll take you home. In less
than day we'll be there. How glad
your parents will be to see you! Sure
ly you do not forget the love of ia
Their and mother, and you do want to
see them again, don't you, Mary?'
Strengthening herself up to her full
height her face white, her form rigid
and strained, in a voice whose tone
conveyed hate, mingled with utter
despair, she answered:
Yes, l do remember them. They
taught me to drink wine at the fam
lily board. l was told to drink it like
a lady. Easily and quickly enough l
learned to like it. l tried to drink it
like lady Under its influence the
bottle was drained, my brain reeled
the world was torn from under my
feet, the sky became all brass. To-
day am eating the ashes of the apples
Of the Dead sea. There is nothing left
worth living for. l can't fight against
the odds much longer. Every hand
pushes me nearer the bottom; then
comes the end. Some day l must stand
at the bar of God, and tell you ] shall
be a true witness against those who
taught me to drink wine like lady "

RICHES OF THE SOUDAN.
The Question In England Is How
Soon the Country Can He
Made to Pay,

How soon can the Soudan be made to-
meet its own share of expense and re-
lieve the Egyptian exchequer? 1t must.
prove, at first, a costly acquisi-
ton. A numerous local force must
be maintained, and although the
Egyptian army estimates may be
relieved by certain reduction of
the native troops, the military
establishment in the Soudan will still
constitute severe tax, to which the.
province can contribute little. Even.
in more fourishing days, before it was.
wasted and Gepopulated by the pitt
less dervish rule, the Soudan was not
particularly productive; its export
trade did not exceed c 100000, and its
chief product was gum arabic. There
is some accumulation of this, it is said,
awaiting more peaceful times to come
down country, and the industry will
no doubt revive and develop. Agri-
cultural enterprise will probably ex7
tend, especially in the lands Longest
recovered; the fertile province of Dom
gola, for example, which, according to
all accounts, has made rapid progress
under the active steps taken 10 recol-
onize. Nine-tenths of the old popula-
ton has returned, many from the lower
province, and grants of land have been
freely given TO all. The same good re-
suits may be seen higher up the river,
at Abu Hamed and Berber, and all
trade will be stimulated by the facilities
offered by several routes-the new
railway back to Wady Halfa, and the
now reopened desert road to Suakin.
AS for the heart of the Soudan, Khar-
toum, and beyond, it is not yet in the
Egyptian possession, and it is still an
known quantity, its resources hardly
explored. Many think that it is rich
in mineral wealth, and the existence
of great gold-bearing field in this
southeastern extremity has long been
known, the country of the Benz Shengol,
on the confines of Abyssinia, and be-
lieyed to be really the site of the Bib,
lical King Solomon's mines. The SAD
fact is also known that this auriferC;is
territory has already passed into other
hands. The man in possession is Meme
lik, king of Abyssinia.-FortnightJy

FOOLISH OLD FARMER.
Ia the End Has Nothing to show
for 1t But a Big Head.

Frequenters of a certain north-enG
barrel house were given their fill OF
whisky that will kill at 40 roGs a few
nights ago, says the Kansas City Jour
nal. An old farmer from Clay county
got drink too much and every man
that crossed his path was invited to
indulge in the flowing bowl at his eX-
pense. The farmer had no money, but
he had its equivalent. He had come
to market with load of potatoes. The
barrel house proprietor needed pota'
toes for the winter and the farmer
wanted liquor. It didn't take them long
to come to an agreement. Two bushels
of potatoes paid for one round of
drinks.
Come on, boys" the Clay county
man would shout as he bolted for his
wagon, sack in hand. Sack 'em up;

THE RIGHT BEDTIME.
1t Is Not the Same for EveryOne-Ten
o'clock for Early
Risers.

4 physician of courtly Old-School
manners used to give prescriptions
marked respectively for early bedtime
and for late bedtime. A discussion
arose the other day between several
friends as TO what constituted early
and what late bedtime. Some of the
ladies maintained that ten o'clock was
thought that early bedtime lasted until
II, and a few who believed in beauty
sleep pleaded that early bedtime began
at eight and ended at half past nine
o'clock.
So many people are engaged all day.
and the dinner hour is necessarily, in
city life, deferred to so late an hour,
that families do not break up from their
quiet evenings until after ten. Society
pushes its hours later and later, and
the votaries of fashion come near hav-
ing no bedtime at all, snatching their
rest when they can between one gay
rout and another. The invalid and the
aged person and the child must per-
force retire early. For those steady-go-
ing persons who regulate their lives by
rule, and who habitually rise at an
early hour and breakfast punctually at
seven o'clock, ten is certainly good
bedtime hour. Brain workers would
find their account in seeking the repose
of the couch and the darkened and ST.
lent chamber, with preferably opaque
curtains to exclude the light of the
moon and street lamp alike, at ten
o'clock.
A long sleep rests the mind as well as
the body, and prepares one for the work
of the next day, whatever it may be,
Far better than an opiate or narcotic
is the habit of seeking the pillow at an
early hour, and quietly lying still, with
closed eyes and relaxed limbs, until
sleep, gently wooed, comes with its
healing touch and softly weaves its
spells of balm.
The good doctor probably meant by
early bedtime any hour between eight
and half past nine, and regarded the
later period as between half past nine
ard midnight.
Growing children cannot too careful
" be enjoined to get plenty of sleep.
The boy or girl who Mas lessons to learn
must wakcn early after good nights
rest, and this is insured only by pune
tuality in retiring. Eight o'clock is a
good bedtime for all young people un-
der 10, and should be insisted upon by

Evil of Cnnuy shops.

In a discussion of the attitude of the
medical profession toward alcohol, re-
uorted in the New York Medical Jour
nal, DR.. L. c. Newton said he believed
that the candy shops did more harm
than the liquor shops, and he did not
see why. if men were to be kept from
drinking liquor, children should not be
kept from eating candies. He thought
the abuse of sugar blunted the SENSIBLE
ities, and was very bad for the diges-
ton. 1t was one of the chief troubles
physicians had to meet in treating
chronic diseases of children, and was
a direct bar to the physical and moral
well being of growing children. The
child who ate candy excessively might
develop into man who would drink
liquor to excess. Children, in his opin-
ion. form the very bad habit of not eat
ing plain. wholesome food, of turning
up their noses" at it. because it is not
seasoned enough or sweet enough. lie
declared that no young man or woman
could have a worse heritage than a

craving was the foundation for an al

A comparatively recent departure in
trained nursing is what is called hour
ly visiting. Until within a year or
two it was not possible TO secure the
services of a trained nurse except by
the d;sy or week. Nevertheless, there
were very many times when a trained
nurse was needed for special duties.
such as attendance at operations, at
tending to dressings, bandaging, bath
ing and various other duties. TO meet
these needs the trained nurses in Chi
cago and other cities arranged several
years ago to go for so much an hour.
The plan worked well there, and was
finally adopted by trained nurses in
this city. For cases requiring about
six hours the fee is four dollars. for an
attendance of one hour one dollar for
each successive hour or fraction thereof
so cents. The nurse can do a great
deal in an hour, and the patients who
are unable to have her services con-
stantly have found the new arrange
