Spirit. ON a Man-of-w.r.

Wines and spirits on an English
man-of-war are laid in by the officers
at their own cost. The quantity, how
ever. is limited by the wants of each
mess. The orders to the wine mer-
chant must be vised by the cap
tain, and he is supposed to keep a
careful eye On the amount consumed.
The officers no longer receive rations
Of rum. but a small allowance in mon
ey instead. Nor is it issued to seamen
under 20 years of age.
Before being served out to the crew
it is again diluted in the proportion Of
n part of rum to three parts of wa
ter. This is grog. which derives Its
name from Admiral Vernon. he 1t
was who first diluted rum. He habitu-
ally wore a grogram coat and went by
the name of Old Grog. The barrel is
preached on deck at the dinner hour,
and each m forward with his pam
nikin in turn.
ALI government stores are marked in
some way SO that they can be readily
identified. The rum has a small guam
tity of finely chopped hair introduced
into it. which can be detected by hold
ing it up to the light.-Chambers' Jour-
nal.

In n Houses.

If our own faults were as apparent
to us as those of our friends. how
ashamed we would be of ourselves!
We have wonderful a%cuteness of vi
sion when it comes to discovering the
weaknesses of others. and our sight is
painfully dim when we view ourselves.
A good woman once told the writer
that for years she had made 1t a rule
never to speak Of the faults of others
until she had gone Though the cate
CORY OF her own weaknesses to see if
she did not have similar failings. and
by the time she had done this her
sense of humiliation would be 20 great
that she had no desire to say anything
about the weaknesses of others.
This would be a good rule for all Of
us to adopt. Don't you think so? Try
it the very next time you are inclined
to criticise some one of your friends

A Cardinals views.

Cardinal Gibbons, in a sermon on
1.-THE Christian Woman" said:
81 regard woman's rights women and
society leaders as the worst enemies Of
the female sex. They rob woman of
all that is amiable and gentle and give
her nothing in return but masculine
boldness and brazen effrontery. They
are habitually preaching about wo-
mans rights and prerogatives and
have not a word to say about her du-
ties and responsibilities.
Under the influence of such teachers
we find woman neglecting her house
hold duties, gadding about, never feel
ing at home except when she is abroad.
She chafes and frets under the re-
straint and responsibility of domestic
life. Her afflicted husband comes home
to find home empty OF occupied by q
woman whose heart is void Of affection
for him. There arise disputes, quar-
rels, arrangements, and the last act in
the drama is often divorce"

-successful women.

The women who succeed r those
who go to their work with a determine
ton born of courage and positive con-
viction and whose energies are abso-
lutely tireless. 1t is true they are often
o SO well paid for the same work as
men, but that is one of the mistakes Of
the day that will soon be rectified. We
are growing wiser, and one of the
things that is most important for every
one to know is that there Is no sex in
brains. Those who fail are usually
those who expect too much and pre-
sumo on account of their being women.

A New Occupation For Ladies.

To a woman who is fond of horses
there al b. no greater pleasure than
to be cons antly among them. Ard
for women who combine mean with a
love for horseflesh we commend the
new and very fashionable idea of pony
farms. Two ladies have already be-
come farmers and breed a special kind
of Shetland on a farm managed by
themselves. and now that ponies of all
kinds have become so fashionable fol
driving such a venture is sure to be a
very paying one, provided money and
knowledge are combined with personal
supervision.

They carried the girl to her room,
and inside of half an hour two sur
geons and a trained nurse were by her
side. The surgeons shook their heads
and looked very grave. ALI attempts
to arouse her had failed. She lay in
a stupor, and her soft breathing was
the only sign of life.
When the surgeons said an operation
was necessary, Johns hopes fell, Soon
another surgeon and another nurse aud

long drawing room waiting for the doc

lived or not. The sickly sweet smell
of ether came floating down stairs as
the door of the chamber was opened,
and he heard a singsong voice that he
knew uttering meaningless words.
Then the door shut, and as one of the
nurses came down he waylaid her. Be-
fore he had a chance to ask she told
him the young lady was coming out of
