The Ameer of Afghanistan must
surely be very obliging man, if a
story told of him be true. Not many
years ago queens messenger, or
some other official, was on his way to
Cabul, when he had the misfortune to
be robbed.
He was in no way injured by the
robbers, but the British government
preferred a complaint, which came
duly to the knowledge of the ameer.
Noreply was received, and the months
passed.
At last the ameer wrote, and his
letter showed the earnestness of his
desire to oblige the queen.
"The matter you MENTION" said the
letter, 'has been thoroughly investi
gated, and not only have the robbers
of your messenger been put to death,
but all their children, as we'll as their
fathers and grandfathers. I hope
this will give satisfaction to her maj
esty the queen"
Nevertheless, it is doubtful if it did.

THE DEVILS MISSIONARY WORK.

The american Issue quotes from the
notebook of one who was present at a
meeting of the Ohio Liqnor League
some years ago, these words from an
officer of the League who, when dis
cussing and citing the conditions of
success in the trade, remarked:
cit will appear from these facts,
gentlemen, that the success of our
business is dependent largely upon
the creation of appetite for drink.
Men who drink liquor, like others, will
die, and if there is no new appetite
created, our counters will be empty, as
will our Golfers. Our children will 90
hungry, or we must change our bust
ness to that of some other more re-
munerative.

POPULAR SCIENCE FOR JANUARY.

In order to adapt it more closely to
the wants of the general public, an6
to make it more than ever before the
medium of readable and trustworthy
information on scientific subjects, the
publishers of Appleton's Popular
Science Monthly inaugurate with this
number several marked changes in
the magazine which will commend
themselves to all classes of readers.
In the first place, the price is low
cred to twenty five cents, which puts
the publication within the reach of
every one who cares to keep up with
the rapid march of discovery and the
more important application of new
| facts in the arts and Industries.
In the next place, the topics dis
cussed are to be given broader
range, thus enlarging the scope of the
magazine as vehicle of useful and
entertaining knowledge, and extend
ing its appeal to a wider circle of
readers. In word, the philosophy
of science which has heretofore been
prominent feature of the magazine
is to give place TO the facts and
principles that apply directly to the
concerns of everyday life.
A third feature of the new de-
parture will be the employment of
distinguished specialists as writer's on
their respective subjects, who are able
to present their ideas in form suited
to the general reader, and whose
names give what they have to say
the stamp of accuracy and authority.
These and some minor changes of
form are introduced in the present
number. To mention but few of the
articles, Sir Robert Ball, president of
the Royal Astronomical Society,
writes of the Advance of Astronomy
in sthe Nineteenth Century: Prof.
Charles E. Monroe treats of the APP
plications of Explosives, which in
variety of forms nre now doing their
deadly work in war; A Paridoxical
Anarchist is described and studied by
Cesare Lombroso, the eminent Italian
criminologist; What makes the
Trolley Car Go, is explained and il
Illustrated by Mr.. William E. Baxter,
G. E.; and there is also a timely
article on the Destructive Effects of
Vagrant Electricity, by Hubert 8.
Wynkoop, electrician to the depart
ment of municipal lighting in Brook
lyn. President Jordan, of Stanford
University, Miss Mary M. Patrick,
president of the Woman's College in
Constantinople, and Herbert Spencer,
also have articles in the number.

this appetite is among the boys. After
men are grown and their habits are
formed, they rarely ever change in
this regard. It will be needful, there
fore, that missionary work be done
among the boys, and make the sug

pended il treats to the boys now, will

This is the kind of missionary work
done by the 55, sO7 bartenders and H.

missionaries in the dram shops of this
country. Gould Satan himself show
greater and more malignant craft?
What are you doing to hinderit?
Is it not time that Christians do
little missionary work in the same

should be warned, the unwary should

TRAPDOORS.

I saw the other day mouse trap so
artfully andipleasantly contrived that,
if had been a member of that small
fraternity, I quite believe I should
have entered and taken possession.
The iron wires were SO neat and ele-
giant, the room inside so commodious,
the little hook from which the cheese
hung so convenient for mouse's
housekeeping, and the toasted cheese
itself so delicious, that it must have
been very strong minded mouse in
deed who could have withstood the
temptation of the various attractions.
The entrance, too, was made SO easy
the door stood just little bit open,
as if to invite the wanderer to become
guest; but when once the mouse en-
tered, the door closed behind him, and
if, after eating the savory morsel, he
turned to go out, he found himself an
unwilling prisoner, with all the terrors
of starvation before him; for his new
abode had no larder, and in one ''glo-
rious supper" he had exhausted the
whole stock of provisions. He now
dislikes this dreadful little house as
much as he before admired it. The
bars were so strong, the hook hurt his
head, and the cheese-why even that
became nauseous to the palate when
only remembered and not enjoyed.
Poor mousy! prisoner indeed.
1t is just SO with the beings God
created in his image, endowed with
souls, who are made victims by enter
ing the trap doors prepared by wicked
men.
Children, do you know what mean?
can scarcely walk a block or turn
a corner without encountering trap
door. In some we see bright lights
aud pictures within, while the sounds
of music come stealing out upon the
air. Others are not SO inviting; but
the bait inside of all is of the same
nature, and the effect on the partaker
the same. Oh! beware dear children;
never enter one of these trap doors
opening into a liquor saloon. The
mouse paid no entrance fee, but he
found inside the trap an expensive
place for him. It cost him his liberty.
These saloons cost far more than
that, and often the SOUPS eternal hap

LINCOLN AND PICKETT.

Among the personal friendships in
terrupted but not ended by the Civil
war, one of especial interest was be-
tween Abraham Lincoln and George
E. Pickett. Lincoln was much the
older, and when he was an influential
figure in Illinois politics, young
Pickett was ambitious to enter West
Point. Lincoln secured an appoint
ment for him, and while he was at
the academy wrote him many letters
of kindly, almost fatherly, advice.
Mrs. Pickett quotes from one of them
in her memorial volume to her hus
band, ''Pick EFT and his men,"
81 have just told the folks here in
Springficld.'' wrote Mr.. Lincoln, con
this one hundred and eleventh ami
versary of the birth of him whose
name, mightiest in the cause of civil
liberty, still mightiest in the cause of
moral reformation, we mention in
solemn awe, in naked, deathless
splendor, that the one victory we can
ever call complete will he that one
which proclaims that there is not one
drunkard on the face of Gods green
earth. Recruit for this victory"
At the close of the letter he said:
"Now, boy, on your march don't
you go and forget the old maxim that
zone drop of honey catches more flies
than half gallon of GALL Load your
musket with this maxim, and smoke
it in your pipe"
Pickett remembered, for there was
not drop of gall in his whole life.
Short as was Mr.. Lincoln's time
when he passed through Richmond
after it's surrender, he went to the old
Pickett home to hunt up his friends
and former partner, General Pickett's
uncle. He asked about the general
himself, and then for the generals
wife. When Mrs. Pickett heard the
caller ask for George Pickett's wife,
she went forward with her baby in
her arms.
1T am George Pickett's wife," she
said.
"And am Abraham Lincoln"
''The President?"
''No. Abraham Lincoln, Georges
old friend"
Seeing the baby's outstretcbed arms,
Mr.. Lincoln took him and kissed him.
AS Lincoln restored the baby to his
mother no said, in that deep and
sympathetic voice which was one of
his greatest powers over the hearts
of men:
''Tell your father, the rascal, that 1
forgive him for the sake of your
bright eyes,"

"Mothers must remember that
their babies are not given them for
their own pleasure or amusement, nor
to display as marvels to their
friends" warns Barnetta Brown,
writing of s'Mothers' Mistakes and
Fathers Failures" in the January
Ladies' Home Journal. "But mothers
must consider that from the first
moment of life the child is destined
toward growth, development, pro-
gression. A dallying with this bit of
wisdom in the beginning makes rare
occasions for much that is disagree
able later. And let no mother make
the error of being baff1ed by the cry
of 'hercdity.' Much of what is called
heredity is really imitation of what is
to be seen and felt in the environ
ment; and the most Objectionable
human heredity can be overcome.
The inheritance of the divine spark
which is ever ready to fly upward
must never be forgotten"

Like an angel of light to the simple,
But body and soul are your prey.
Here your victim comes in, Rumseller,

His first act in the drama of ruin,
Think of it, RumselIer, think.

What scene is this that appears?

Here's a home that you blasted, Rumseller
A home of despair, want and strife,
Here are children of shame and sorrow,
And broken hearted wife.

AS she kneels by her darling's side,
Her beautiful boy that was dearer
Than all the world beside

Labelled with one word-"Lost,"

I will paint it free of cost.
But all the sin and shame and sorrow,
The crime and want and woe
That are born here in your rumshop,
No hands can paint, you know.
But I'I paint you a sign, Rumseller,
And many shall pause to view
That wonderful swinging signboard,
So tearfully, terribly true.
And now as I close, Rumseller,
Hear kind timely warning, pray,
There's day of judgment soon coming,
A great and terrible day!
Repent and believe on Jesus,
Repent and forsake the whole,
Then God will forgive in His mercy
And eternally save your soul.

give their readers a bountiful ten cents
worth. The contents for the January
number include seven complete short
stories, eight special articles on sub
jects of current interest or profitable
instruction, little poetry, little fun,
a curiosity page in photographs, some
book. buying hints and a hundred and
thirty two illustrations.
The first story, 'The Twenty Sew
enth Letter of the Alphabet," is a
breezy tale by Lucy Cleveland. 1t has
a mystery, what is the twenty seventh
letter of the alphabet? The story is
left unfinished, and the editor offers
you a hundred dollars for a final par
agraph that shall complete it and
explain the problem.
An interesting account of the new
East River Bridge, now building, is
given in s'The Greatest Bridge on
Earth" Those who lived through the
Civil War (and many who have be en-
born since it was over will be inter-
ested in the account, from an officer

Northwest was Saved" The stories
are all of the interesting, bright, Wig
orous sort, that grip your attention
instantly and hold it to the end--such
stories as EUerybody's Magazine is
making speciality of.
Not the least interesting page in the
book is that in the advertising section
whereon the editor tells us what
EUerybody's Magazine is to contain
during 1900. If he gives us all he says
he will, it will be big dollars worth.
