A spinster of Wilton, Conn.,, has been
accused of the most horrible cruelty to
an 11-year-old child, and her case is
one of many that have. come to light in
which a woman Of apparently. rigid
virtue and austexe rectitude Of char
acter appears to have succeeded in de-
stroying all natural sensibility by the
cultivation of relentless sense Of duty
There is no evidence that this woman
took any pleasure in lashing the child
with rawhide until it bled. She SIM
ply acted under the conviction that any
thing like pity on her part would be a
weakness 1t is very curious that this

Tea and Temperance.

Ardent temperance advocates some
times say the most inezplicable things.
The Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler. one Of
the most earnest temperance workers in
the country, made the following au-
thoritative observation at the recent
New York state Sunday school conven-
ton: "In my "a years as pastor have
received into my church great many
inebriates, and every one Of them went
back to drinking at some time. One
that knew well would make the most
eloquent prayers in meeting and then
stop in at all the gin mills on his way
home" This statement is going all
over the country, and it is very difficult
for judicious temperance folk to under
stand what it was that DR.. Cuyler was
trying to arrive at. Putting the most
liberal construction upon it, it is not
encouraging. Apropos Of the temper
ance question a tea drinking crusade
has been opened in New York. The
idea is to establish tea saloons and drive
out the beer and whisky saloons with
the cup that cheers. but not inebriates.
This is a very pretty side move. It will
give number of attractive girls some
thing to do in serving, and everybody
will wish it all the esthetic success that
it deserves, especially if the girls wear
appropriate tea gowns. But surely no.
body who has the slightest knowledge
of the physiological effects of alcohol
will expect it to be downed by tea. II
is very much like graduating the to-
bacco ha bit with spruce gum.

The Decline of Elouuenco,

The decision arrived at by Lincoln|
university to admit no sermons here
after in competitive trial that are mott
extemporaneous marks the effort now
being made in various institutions OIL
the church to return to the efficacy andl
ardor of pulpit eloquonce when that
eloquence did not use the pen and SER
mons were not written. 1t is worthy of
note that the two branches of the
Christian church, which are perhaps
the furthest apart in their ecclesiastical
methods, have always been the closest
together on this one point. The Roman
Catholic and the Methodist churches
have always frowned upon written SER
mons, and as consequence both
churches have escaped the modern i'm
putation Of preaching essays and deliv-
ering literary discourses. That the
American pulpit was more eloquent!
during the first half Of our century
than is has been in the last half seems
now to be conceded by all writers who
have investigated the subject. The
power of swaying people, which was
possessed by Whitefield and Bascom and!
others Of that type, down to the time
Of Henry Ward Beecher, seems to have
been lost, just as the eloquence of Clay
and Webster seems to belong to lost
condition Of the republic. The question
that is now agitating England centers
on this point, Can ceremonials take the
place Of the efficacy of personal appeal
and personal authority? Can Knox, a
Whitefeld or Chalmers be evolved by
academic training? And to this ques-
ton both the Catholics and the Non
conformists rise up and answer MOI

The Paris Exposition,

Without detracting in the least from
the stupendous efforts which the Pari-
slams are making to eclipse anything
that has ever been done in international
shows, it may be said that, if one is to
judge from the accounts OF the prepare
tion, which the Paris newspapers are
sending out, the show threatens to be
the most overwhelming freak exhibit
ton the world has ever seen. 1t is con-
coded at once that the arts and sciences

always are in France, but that is not

The ordinary homemade refrigerator

is tedious job to fit up 'cooler" in
this way, while nearly as good results
can be secured much more easily. The

this door, the food racks being undis-
turbed. Put "listing" about the edges
of the hinged door and hinge the cover
of the box to the top. Instead Of having
two boxes with packing between, the
heat is kept out of the interior by COW
ering the whole box with a thick WOOL
en- blanket, this being easily rolled back
when the cover is to be raised. The in

suit ones needs.
About many home is an old, I'M

openings in the bottoms Of the drawers,
as shown in the diagrams, Fig. 2, and
set in the pan of ice in the upper drawer.
The food is placed in the other drawers
below. A thick wooden blanket does
duty here also in keeping out the heat.
The pan in both these devices has an
outlet tube in the rear, for which holes
must be bored in the back of the box
and the bureau, so that when in place
