FIRE-RESISTING MATERIAL.
1t Is a Plaster That Does Not Trans
init Heat to Wood which
1t Covers.

The most vital step in constructing
thoroughly tireproof buildings nova
days is the substitution of stone, brick,
terra Gotta metal and other incombus-
tible material for wood, and the com
plete elimination of the latter from the
editice. But it is not practicable to
carry out this latter part of the pro-
gramme without much expense, and
therefore endeavors have been made to
render the wood fireproof. One way of
attaining that object is to treat it
chemically, and fill the pores with sub
stances that will discourage combus-
ton. This is the plan followed on war;
ships to-day. Another idea which has
been received with favor is to cover the
wood after it is in place with plaster
composed of lime and vegetable fiber, to
give the compound body, and certain
chemicals to resist the fire.
A test of an invention of this latter
class was made in London recently.
The author of the system, named Rous,
and a number of experts were present.
The Pail Mall Gazette tells the story.
Bits of wood were coated to depth Of
three-quarters of an inch with the stuff,
and then subjected to the flame of
blowpipe. Similar specimens were
thrust into a boiler furnace. The blow
pipe, used continuously for 20 minutes,
did not sensibly raise the temperature
under the compound. The piece of
plastered wood that was put into the
furnace stayed there half an hour.
When it was removed the coating was
Clipped off with tool, and the wood
showed a temperature of only 70 de-
grees Fahrenheit. The only costly in.
gredient of Mr.. Rous' mixture is tung.

GREAT MEMS PRIVILEGES.
Ambassador Had Right
to Smoke.

The other day at Marion, Ind, Gen.
Lew Wallace was sitting in court when
the desire to smoke came upon him. He
lighted a cigar.
A court officer went up to him and
told him that he must put out his cigar,
as smoking was not allowed. The gem
eral objected, and, rising, made the
novel declaration that, inasmuch as he
was the oldest practitioner in that town
the privilege of smoking ought to be
granted him.
The presiding judge saw it in that
way, and the act granting Gen. Lew
Wallace, as the oldest practitioner in
Marion, the privilege of smoking in
court is now entered on the records and
will be observed as long as the court
stands or Gen. Wallace lives.
Another occurrence, similar to this
only in that it concerns the right to
smoke, occurred great many years ago
in the younger days of Bismarck. 1t
happened at conference of the South
German states Before they, through
Bismarck's iron and unfaltering diplo-
macy, became the German empire.
At these conferences the ambassador
from Austria, then the oldest and sup
posed to be the most powerful of these
states, was the only ambassador priv
ileged to smoke during sessions. This
rule was always respectx9. and for
many years he enjoyed his solitary priv
ilege with all the arrogance and con-
descension a Ge"rpan can assume when
he feels himself more powerful or en-
titled to more consideration than his
fellows.
At the opening of one session, how
ever, after Bismarck had begun to make
himself felt as q power for the state of
Prussia, the Austrian ambassador, as
suming his privilege, had just lit his
pipe, when Bismarck, biting the end off
cigar, went over and asked him for
light.
The Austrian ambassador was as
founded at first, and the other ambas-
sadors looked on in CONSERVATION. but
through the sheer boldness of the thing,
or perhaps for other reasons, the light
was granted, and from that time Bis
marck also smoked at the conferences
whenever he chose.
This was one of the first concessions
granted him. Before Bismarck got
through with the Austrian and the
other ambassadors in his lifetime they
granted him great many more.-N. Y.

THE ANTI-sALooN LEAGUE.
Innugurate n Vigorous Campaign in
New York State-"The Saloon
Must Co."

The Anti-Saloon league has begun
a vigorous campaign in New York state.
Rev. DR.. j. @. A. Henry has resigned a sue
cessful pastorate in Chicago to accept
the superintendency of the New York
branch of the league, and under his
inspiring leadership it is confidently
expected that much effective work will
be done. The first gun" in this new
onslaught on the enemy was fired at
Poughkeepsie on Sunday, May IA. Rep
resentatives of the league, including
DR.. Henry, were in Poughkeepsie on
that day in number sufficient to man
all the pulpits in the city, and now
the campaign will be continued along
various lines. The plans and objects
of the Anti-Saloon league are explained
by DR.. Henry in a letter to the New
Voice. The league is a national organi
zation. 1t began five years ago in the
state of Ohio, and has now spread into
23 states, where 60 men are devoting
their entire time and energies to the
prosecution of this work. Its motto
is "The Saloon Must Co." and its uIti-
mate aim the total destruction of the
open grogshop as the center and cita-
del of the corrupting and benumbing
influences of the civic and of the pub
lie conscience. 1t works in and through
the churches, making them as organi-
cations the responsible agents, local
anS in a. statewide way, for temper
aRce reform. 1t maintains that the
C.bri raOD1a ara T1.ir, ~ ba ans
todians of the public conscience, that
they must set the pace of civic reform,
and that the problem of the open sa-
loon will never be solved until the
Christian forces can be organized, con-
solidated and hurled against this chief
enemy of Christian progress and good
government. 1t is omnipartisan and
interdenominational in its methods. 1t
works with all parties and with all
creeds upon the sole condition that
they are the foes of the saloon, and
willing to stand together upon this one
issue-the destruction of the open
dramshop. 1t emphasizes the enforce
ment of law. 1t seeks to drive the
liquor business back within the linn
its of license and law, and to create
public spirit which will demand legis-
lation so full and complete as will not
only curb but destroy the open saloon.
In the enforcement of law it seeks, as
rule, to work only through public
officers who are elected and paid to
perform such duties. Local leagues
are organized in every church and per-
manent organizations effected in every
community where it is possible. The
methods of the league appeal to the
generosity of business men, so that
financial aid has never been wanting
with which to conduct vigorous and
victorious crusade. The temporary
headquarters of the league in the state
of New York will be at Poughkeepsie.
In the fall it is expected that perma-
nent headquarters will be opened in
the city of New York.-Christian at

The German Association Against the

circular to the students of Germany
asking that the comPulsion in the corps
and vereins to drink beer be done away
with.
The report of the London temperance
hospital shows that during the year al
cohol was administered in that institu-
ton to only five cases out of total of
over 5000, including out-patients. Of
the five cases four proved fatal.

mothers, however, ascribed their own
downfall to despair because of hope
less poverty.
The training school mission workers
have such age and experience in other
fields, many of them as public school
teachers, that their opinions should
have weight.
All concur in the following:
1. 1t is not wise to present a pledge
to a school or class and ask signatures
from all at once. Personal instruction
should precede such presentation.
2. Pledges against the use of beer, dis
titled liquor, tobacco and profane or
filthy speech should be separate, and
separately presented.
3. Pledges for children should read:
81 will try, with Gods help, not to use
or to help use,' etc.
4. In cases where it is probable the
child will be forced to break the pledge,
his moral welfare is best enhanced by
total abstinence teaching without the
pledge.
In my own heart two wishes have
grown as L have studied these and SINH
lar cases. One is, that there might be
Il weekly mothers meeting to each six
mothers; and the other, that pipes be
laid SO that in each block public foun-
tain or faucet would supply cold, fill
tered, drinking water, and that in each
two or three blocks, by payment of a
penny, a pint of hot water could be Sc
cured, by which, with use of tablets,
soup, matted milk or chocolate, or with
tea, anyone, with a speed correspond
ing to our sense of ''rush," could pre-
pare a nourishing, stimulating bever-
age.-Mrs. NJ. E. Burnham, in Union Sig

where. Take this case: A young man
came home intoxicated; his mother
spoke reproachfully, quick blow fol-
lowed. The next day the son 'came
to himself" Who killed the mother
whose body was robed for the grave ?
Was it the son who had given himself
to the devil yesterday? Were not those
who had aided him in this transaction
partners in that murder?
6. The Saturday industrial schools
have, each week, instances of children
whose cloaks, hoods, shoes or mittens
have gone to the pawnshop, not for
bread, not for coal or rent, but for
liquor. In many, many abodes Il can
not say homes) more is spent each week
for beer than for bread, more each
month than for clothing.
Z. The women in these neighbor-
hoods, as a rule, drink beer as an ac-
cepted rule of life. 1t should be remem-
bered most of them come from coun-
tries where beer and wine are not
classed as intoxicants, and their eyes
have never been opened in this coun-
try to the relation of beer drinking and
drunkenness. Some cases were found
where women, despairing in their hope
less poverty, took to heavy drinking as
a sort of blameless suicide, while the
husband went on with his accustomed
daily dram. One case is now matter
of deep anxiety and prayer. A husband
whose drunkenness had dragged his
family through poverty, homelessness
and shame, reformed, but the wife who
had struggled and prayed for years
to WOO him back to sobriety-in an hour
of alteration, ] am sure-got drunk,
and is to-day confirmed inebriate.
Among these people there is a vague
idea that the government is the only
source OF help, the only responsible
power to be cursed. The government is
something over, but quite apart from
themselves, and while buying their beer
they wall: "Why doesn't the mayor
or the head at Washington put a stop
to this awful getting drunk?" The
week preceding election is one of added
funds in many homes where there is
a voter. The week following is one
of guarrels, arrests and suffering. Is
it strange that these embittered moth
ers bear children predisposed to riot
and anarchy?
The mission workers from this school,
all women, have little to do with the
men on these fields, unless some father
falls sick, commits suicide or is arrest
ed, so these notes deal only indirectly
with the principal transgressors. Not
all poor people in these neighborhoods
are intemperate or beer drinkers. Not
one case was found where poverty had
driven the father to drink. Several

A STUDY OF CASES.
Startling Facts Made Plain by Notes
Gathered by Missionaries Among
ChicagO's Foreign Population.

These field notes were made by work
ers in the Baptist missionary training
school, in part of Chicago where Poles,
Russians, Bohemians and Syrians form
large part of the population. Such
large aggregations of foreigners are
found in our most populous American
cities, and are constantly fed by fresh
arrivals from Europe. Educating these
centers is like making butter with a
stream of fresh cream flowing into the
churn, or like sweeping a floor over
which stream of mud is crawling.
| here group the cases and make
general statements borne out by
facts.
/. Public school teachers find the aft.
ernoon sessions marked by an increase
of stupidity and tardiness. Investiga-
tion proves this is largely due to beer
drinking at dinner ii: e., the noon meal)
or to going to the saloon to get beer
tor parents.
2. The love of beer is encouraged in
children that they may be more will
ing to go for it.
3. Wherever beer is commonly drunk,
tobacco and the cigarette abound, and
it is difficult to discriminate in the
results of these, and impossible to sup
press one and allow the others.
4. Drunkenness among boys under 16
years of age is so common as to startle
the most phlegmatic citizen.
5. Many, indeed most of the cases of
jwarfed and stunted growth which we
see among the very poor are directly
traceable to doses of liquor given in in
fancy or to mistakes" made by a
drunken physician. One pitiable case
comes to mind-that of young man 81
years old, but as helpless as a babe
Of three months. Life was not taken
but who will acquit that drunken doc
tor of the charge of manslaughter? :?
This division of responsibility is deli
cate question, and confronts US every
