The Crusade In Brief.

A man has no right to clothe the ,ubli-
,an's wife in silks and his own in rags.
Switzerland has three institutions for
the cure of drunkards which recor' per-
manent cures in one-half the cases treated.
Nearly thirty per cent. of the patients
IN Paris hospitals have neen found to be
persons who were addicted to the exces.
sive Use of alcohol.
According to the report of the Ioston
Police Commissioners, covering the work
Of the department for the mast year, the
number of arrests for drunkenness aver
age sixty-ive fc- each day during the
twelve months.
New York has law which provide that
mo person under the influence of liquor
shall have charge of explosives, boiler, en-
CINE or hoist, or be allowed in any part of
i mine
The G 5'ernment of Manitoba has i.
troduced a bill prohibiting the sale OF
liquors of all kinds by retailers. Manufac.
turers and wholesalers will not cc hermit
ted to sell in the province, but otherwise
they will not be interfe d with.
The five breweries-of Toledo. Ohio. have
virtually said to the people of that city
that unless the brewers can have unlm-
ted privileges in selling their beer at the
centennial of 1902. the people cannot have
centennial. Each OF the five brewers
subscribed $4,000, then withdrew it, be-
cause of the Clark bill that was tr come
before the Legislature.

Baby Saved Him.

"A poor, disconsolate mother, - wife o.,
a drunkard, had home barren of every
thing but little blue-eyed two-year-olc
girl in rags. The father abused the little
one and its mother, and in his quest fol
liquor had pawned every article Of furni
ture in the house.
A few weeks ago the worried mother
went into public house. where she founc
the recreant husband. The little girl ir
her mothers arms recognized her father
and gave him one of those little child
smiles of recognition which every father
covets.
The mother walked over to the bar
where her drunken husband stood. and.
as the tears coursed down Ter cheeks
said:
'"Papa, kiss Ella and bid her goodbye;
/ am going to give her to the innkceper
Drink up her value, and when she is gone
everything we ever possessed is gone
There is nothing II the house to eat, and
I am going out to work"
The little one L derstood the meaning
of the words, kiss papa," as they fell
from the quive.ing lips CT the mother, and
she leaned forward TO do rs she had been
told. "Give me Ella!" the father ex
claimed, as he became sensible of what hi:
wife said, Il have taken my last drink"
A new promise, strong and binding as
their wedding VOW, was made in the grim
corner of the inn, and the two went home
to lead brighter - happier life.

The Rurnseller's Lies.

'T do not invite any person into my
,lace to drink" is remark you frequently
hear from the saloon-keeper when he is
spoken to about selling liquors. That is
lie.
When the groceryman makes a fine dis
play in front of his store, whether ne has
the price marked thereon or not, he :s
honest enough to tell YOU he does it to in
duce people to buy. That is the truth.
The dry goods merchant puts in his win
dow all sorts and kinds of wearing appar-
ell, for the sole purpose of attracting the
ladies and selling his goods. He tells the
truth.
And so it is with all classes of trade.
but the "rumseller.", He says he does not
invite any, one. in-in to drink. Let's see
II a. M" Is it free? Go in and try to
partake OF it without buying some of his
rum and see how quick he or his dressed
up bartender will tell you to get out. That
is lie!
Does he want you to eat his free (?)
lunch. or is it free?
Again. He hires the finest cabinet max
er to erect in his place what he calls fix.
lures, consisting Of elegantly carved hard
wood, often trimmed with marble and
backed with as large mirrors as his room
will permit Of In front of this he places
highly polished glasses-all for what pur
pose? To ask you in! And in inviting
you in, does he invite YOU just to see the
fine fxeures? No. No! But to drink his
miserable. Notwithstanding, soul-damnine
stuff. Again he lies!
In front of the place you will see ele
CANT gold and sometimes glass signs, fur
nished by the wholesale whisky man. OF
the brewer, gratis to the rllmseller for his
trade Do they have them made just tc
adorn his place? No. but to invite you in
Therefore, it is n other lie!
The retail rlrn-dealer lies. and says he
does not invite, you. in. The wholesale,
mortgages on his place to help him lie tt
the poor fools who are enticed into hif
place bv all this display Of elerance.
He says, Heres to your good health
if you partake of the vile stuff Does burn
ing the lining out of your stomach bring
"good health" Does nluddling-. youi
brain cause "good health?"
One more big lie: The rum-seller K OWE
he cannot stand up and drink With every
one. so he (some of them) have bottle
of tea to take for whisky, or clear water
to take for gin. AL he makes YOU believe
he is drinking the same vile stuff that yor
are pouring down your throat. only ht
takes his from another bottle. A big lie!
Young men, resolve now not to help nm
to lie any more. Every time you are
tempted to 90 into one of these lying shops
say, "No, I will not help anyone to lie
and ruin mankind"
Avoid the liar!-Presby .erian Banner.

Millinery of the Moment.

Tulle and chiffon form the two Chief
components of the millinery aof the
moment, and just imagine what the
goffering and tucking of tulle mean.
Recollect the hopeless way in which 1t
sticks to ones fingers and the bedrag-
gled appearance both tulle and chiffon
have when not absolutely fresh. Al
together the best millinery this year
displays the highest workmanship in
is manipulation, and the most beau
tiful hats, which look as if they are
Solown together, are the results Of four
&r FIVE days labor. Even simple cy-
cling hats have stitche taffeta rosettes
and bows, all of which necessitate a
great deal OF work. The picture hat
is lovely and whole crowns are formed
of ostrich plumeS

What Made Him Poor.

An old man raped at door, and when
it was opened b. the gentleman Ct the
house he said he was hungry, and begged
something for his breakfast. He said he
would willingly do some work to pay for it..
A good meal was given him, which he ate
as if he was really very hungry. When he
was about to go he stood with his old hat
in his n1nd, his thin, gray hair blown by
the wind. His face was thin, and wore
rather piteous expression. Said he:
Il thank you sincerely for this food,
was hungry. And. while thank you, ]
want to warn you against coming in:o the
condition I am in. When I was young ]
work ked hard and made money. I spent it
in the saloons. put hundreds of dollars
there. Now am too old to work. must
wear rags for clothes, and beg for living.
The saloons drive me out and Civ me
nothing. Last night I was :iven from
one, and would have been in that terrible
storm but for the kindness of man wEo
let me sleep in his shop"
He is only one Of many made POOR by the
Use of strong drink. 1t is, indeed, de-
,eiver, and no especter of persons.

Advance Of tho Topknet.

The ribbon bow which fastens the
uptied locks or curls of the little girl,
is becoming veritable topknot. Fash
ion has ordained that 1t shall be moved
we'll forward Of the ears, instead Of
at the crown of the head. The hair
is divided and combed upward as
usual, away from the face. The locks
at the back are curled, braided neatly
or suffered to hang loose. The front
hair Is pulled forward at the last
moment before tying on the ribbon.
This makes it slightly puffy and pom
padourish over the brow, and the rib
bon bow is then tied in triumph.

Salvation and SeIfishness.

A subtle phase of selfishness is almost
as common in spiritual as in worldly
matters, and it is equally bad in both.
He who concentrates his whole atten-
tion upon saving his own soul, deeming
that the one object Of life, If he gets to
heaven at ull will get there because the
times of such ignorance God 'winks at;
he will get there only in the same way
that some extremely mean, penurious
men may possibly squeeze through the
gates. He only who cultivates the saw
able qualities will be saved. This is not
saying that some mythical, impossible
Abou Ben Adhem who loves his fellow
men but thinks not about God will have
his. name written at the head of the list
Of the redeemed. But it is saying that
all genuine love to God is inseparably
Joined with tender love to sinners and
inevitably prompts to the most strenuous
exertions in their behalf. The true
Christian will "fill up that which is be-
hind Of the sufferings of Christ" for the
rescue of the lost. He will share, so far
as he can, the same burden for sin; he
will be q partner in the redemptive
process. He takes more and more, as he
goes forward in the divine life. Christ's
point Of view concerning all things, and
this prompts him to lay down his LIE
for men. Amid the many companion
ships in the multitudinous orders which
men have founded let this cOmpanionship
whose watchword is salvation have high

A Favorite Material.

Embroidered holland is q favorite
this year among the summer fabrics,
and pique treated with incrustations
of coarse lace is as effective as it Is
striking. Pique and duck costumes
are again worn. Some piques shown
are quite light in weight, having an
openwork dot, really an eyelet hole
that is worked around with hand or
machine embroidery. The fashion
that has heretofore been popular of
wearing silk waists with pique skirts
still prevails, brt now the white waists
are the correct thing, and the thin
materials, like the embroidered mus
lin. wash silk or those made Of lace and
ribbon, are preferred, and over them
will be worn bolero or EtOn jackets
of pique.
