Two Ladies' of Fashion Meet.

A family living in a, North Side fiat
welcomed d new housemaid last week.
The girl had just come from Michigan,
and her appearance was prepossess-
ing. Soon after her advent it was dis
covered that she was inclined to treat
the family with a patronizing air.
MARY, you must do better, or l shall
have to find some one to take your
place" the mistress remarked the 9th
er morning.
II don't allow any one to speak to
me that way" replied Mary, with a
toss of her head. I'm just as good as
you are, and want you to know it,"
Mary fiounced out of. the room and
returned in, two minutes with the
weekly paper from her town. Among
the social items was the following:
Miss Mary Hanson has gone to Chi
cago to spend the winter. Miss Han
son is an acknowledged belle in the
leading circles of Sawdust Greek"
Mary waited until her employer had
had time to read the personal" and
then she said with whitening scorn:
"As haye always been accustomed
to going, with the best in my town and
as / don't believe you: ever have your

EUROPE'S DRINKERS.


England Consumes Most Beer, While
~: Germany Leads In Spirits.
: From the statistics of the board Of
trade the following information may
be derived with regard to the bever-
ages consumed in three of the principal
European cOuntries-France, Germany,
England:
A Frenchman drinks annually III
bottles of wine, 30 bottles of beer and
IL bottles Of spirits; German, 8 bot
ties of wine, 141 bottles of beer and II
bottles of spirits; an Englishman, 2
bottles of wine, 178 bottles Of beer and
6 bottles of spirits (six bottles, an i'm
perial gallon). -
sThese figures show that, although
the consumption of wine in France Is
141 bottles per head of population, or
1,000,O0O,0O0 gallons altogether, in Eng
land it amounts to only 2 bottles per
head, or total of but 100000 gal
Ions, while in Germany the consump-
tion is . bottles per head, or an aggre-
gate of 7S,0O0,O00 gallons. In other
words, for every bottle consumed by
an Englishman n German drinks Az
and a Frenchman 7O12 bottles of wine.
1t need not be assumed that the quan-
tity of wine consumed in the United
Kingdom will ever seriously affect our
reputation as a beer drinking nation;
but, although our mode of living more
nearly approaches that Of the continent
year by year.. it does seem curious that
even the German, who, with q similar
climate, drinks twice as much spirit
and three-fourths rs much beer, also
consumes over four times as much
wine as the Englishman.-London

Unioue Way of Identification.

The Saunterer happened to be in a
prominent bank, where he saw an iden.
tification effected in the most unique
way yet heard of. A young railroad
man came hurrying in with check to
cash. He was not known in the bank
except by one man. and he, Of course
was out.
"Well, here's my railroad pass" said
he, producing the transportation card
made out in his name. "Will this do?
The cashier took it and compared
the Endorsement on the back with the
writing on the pass.
THAT won't do you any good" said
the owner. "All our passes are made
out before we get them"
II guess it's all right" said the cash
ier hesitatingly. Haven't you some
thing else?'
"Well," was the answer after a mo-
ment's thought, "I've got An itemized
dentists bill in my pocket, and you
can compare it with the filings in my
teeth" and he displayed the latter In
a broad grin, which secured for him
the money.-Philadelph Inquirer.

CHIEF MISERY MAKER.
Whisky Has No Equal as a Contrib
utOr to Human Woe.


When DR.. Thomas ]. Hills asserts
that whisky contains all the constitu-
ent elements of food, he probably
speaks from medical knowledge.
But when he states that whisky
makes hundreds merry for every ten
1t makes miserable he knows not
whereof he talks.
One drunkard may feel exceedingly
merry, but he is sure to make every
body within his sphere of influence
miserable. Where there is deep and
consistent drinking there can be no
happiness.
Mr.. Hills seems to think that all
drunkards are hereditary drunkards
and that they drink because they are
unable to abstain from it.
Generally speaking, we are an in
temperate nation, but the intemper-
ance of 10 men in 20 is not hereditary.
1t is acquired. There are men who
achieve drunkenness deliberately and
periodically. Others have drunkenness
thrust upon them.
The periodical drunkard is a prey to
circumstances. IL lie udppeES W De Il
rich man, either joy or sorrow will ar
raign him at the bar. If he is q labor
ing man, he gets drunk on pay days,
because the task of earning his money
is over and he seeks the relaxation
which on penniless days he is unable
to purchase.
But. whether n man be a periodical
or a habitual drunkard. he is sure to
cause misery.
DR.. Hills inveighs against ministers
and ultra temperate physicians who
assemble in a moral blockhouse, deaf
to the bugle Of common sense"
The excessive use Of whisky has
nothing to do with common sense. AS
a medicine it is fine thing for snake
bites. AS a merriment producer it is a
failure throughout the world. AS a
misery maker it is perfection.-New
York Evening Journal.

James whitcomb RtIey,s Joke.

James Whitcomb Riley and NYe were
n peculiar pair. They were everlast-
ingly playing practical jokes.
/ remember when we were riding to.
gether in the smoking compartment
between Columbus and Cincinnati. Mr..
Nye was great smoker, and Mr.. Riley
did not dislike tobacco. An old farm
er came over to Mr.. Nye and said
"Are you AIr. Riley? heard you
was on the train"
"No, am not Mr.. Riley. He is over
there" .E,
81 knew his father, and l would like
to speak with him."
"Oh, speak with him, yes. But he is
deaf, and you want to speak loud"
So the farmer went over to him and
said in q loud voice: -..
rs this Mr.. Riley?
"Er-whatw
'Is this Mr.. Riley"
"What did you sayY'
as this Mr.. Riley"
"Riley, yes"
81 knew your father"
"No bother"
81 knew your father"
"What?'
II knew your father"
ooh, so did l."
And in a few moments the farmer
heard him talking in an ordinary tone
of voice. Saturday Evening Post

A VITAL QUESTION.
Drunkenness Is 4 Great and Over
shadOwinE Evil.

Drunkenness Is Il Great 0nd Over
shad0winG Evil.
There is today in the English speak
ing countries no such tremendous, far
reaching, vital question as that of
drunkenness. In it's implications and
effects it oYershadows all else. 1t lies
at the center of all social and political
mischief. 1t paralyzes energies in every
direction. 1t battles penal reform. 1t
obstructs political reform.
1t rears aloft mass of evil inspired
power, which at every salient point
threatens social and national advance,
which gives to ignorance and vice a
greater potency than intelligence and
virtue can command, which deprives
the poor Of the advantages of modern
progress. which debauches aad de-
grades millions, brutalizing and sod
dening them below the planes Of
healthy sayagery and filling the cen
ters of population with creatures
whose condition almost excuses the
immortality which renders them dan
gerOus to their generation.
Can any political organization be
said to represent the best aspirations
and the strongest needs of the people
while this abiding source of misery,
crime and poverty is allowed to spread
and .fourish?-New York Tribune.

A "knOck-turn."

When J. A. MacNeill Whistler lived
in Chelsea, his peculiarities soon made
him a familiar figure even among the
bargemen. who got.to know him as the
artist Of their beloved Thames. One
afternoon, while sauntering along the
embankment, Whistler was confronted
by q man who had one eye most eff
fectively blackened. The artist stop

The Union meeting of the

Sunday at White Bluff church.
The attendance on Saturday and
Sunday was very large. The dis.
