The white Ribbon Movement In France.
We Americans have nearly all med
itated more or less deeply on the
drink question. We see the evils that
liquor does; they come home to almost
every one of US, and most of us have
been deeply stirred at one time or an
other by the desire to aid In abating
them.
Temperance movements have
abounded In this country for half a
century. All their phases and meth
DDS are familiar to US. Weknow what
prohibition means, and we hold var
ious views as to its efficacy as tenn
perance measure. Some think that
In time 1t will prevail, while others
are convinced that 1t attempts the
impossible and, by procuring legisla-
tion that cannot be enforced, brings
the law into contempt and does more
harm than good. All of US have
watched and many of us have exper-
fenced the efforts Of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union to abol..
ish by law or any other practicable
means the consumption Of intoxicat.
ing beverages.
We know what high license means
and something about its workings.
We have watched women crusaders in
Ohio pray saloons out Of business; we
know the power Of the liquor interests
In politics; we know the argument In
favor OF beer as less mischevious
stimulant than whiskey; we know
what local option means; we have
seen cities vote mo license" and are
watching nowadays the working OF an
attempt to instil a wholesome aver
sion to alcohol into the minds Of our
children by physiological instruction
given 10 the public schools. 10 can.

bright and constant and experiments
are continuous.
France has long been considered
one OF the temperate countries of the
world. Her people have always been
wine drinkers, but they used TO limit
their potations, as rule, to light
wines, which 1t was claimed did not
do them much harm. Suddenly and
recently the French have been told
that they are by far the most drunken
people on earth. Their statisticians
have pointed out that their annual
Of alcohol is at the rate
of four gallons year for each indi-
vidual OF their population OF 3S,0O0,-
O00 They far out-drink the English
and Germans. They drink dangerous
liquors, too--absinthe and brandy and
cheap spirits that are worse still.
At first France did not believe the
stories of her own intemperance, but
now she has become alarmed. To be
more drunken than Germany means
defeat In war, defeat In everything.

So In France, now, are the beginnings
of a temperance movement which is
stirring all over Europe.
1t will be very interesting to us to
see the French fight the liquor evil,
We know our methods, and we will
want to compare them with French
methods, which will be sure to be un-
like ours. The first difference that
appears is that while temperance re-
form here Is largely moral move
ment which has churches, religious
societies and moralists behind 1t, 1t Is
being urged on In France by men Of
science and doctors Of medicine. At
the head of the movement is Doctor
Grain, an eminent physician. He is
the president of the National Anti-
Alcoholic League, and has forty-two
youEg doctors as his lieutenants. The
French temperance movement seems,
too, to be controlled by men, and not,
as here and in England, largely pro-
NOTED by women.
France as yet has no ''liquor legisla-
tion." She will have some very soon,
for she has far too many wine shops,
and must both reduce their number
and restrict carefully the sale of GER
tain kinds of drink. Very shortly,
therefore, we shall have chance to
see whether liquor legislation is
among the things that "they do bet
ter In France. e. s. Martin In Satur-

The formation of the Hospital Aid
Society was the outgrowth of visits
that had been made to the hospital
wards. The ladies who minister to the
suffering observed that recoveries' were
slow; that the men seemed depressed,
and that they grew Hstless and indif-
ferent. A careful study of this feature
convinced us that homesickness was
the basis for this condition. My at
tention was drawn to this when big
brawny fellow from Oregon, shot
through the right chest, said: Mrs.
Lawton, you do not know how nice it
lis to have some one come to see you
when you are sick. You don't know
what these visits mean to men who
are far from home. / am homesick
for my home and my country, and
these pale faces fill me with despair
That solved the mystery. Heartsick
ness caused them more mental anxiety
than did the pain that their wounds
gave. The human heart is the same
the world over. and when it feels
neglected, the suffering, whether real
or imagined, is increased. This grows
more acute when the sufferer is sur
rounded by stumps of arms and
legless frames or other evidences OF
the ravages of Mauser bullets

A RELIC OF THE REVOLUTION.

Over on the Jersey shore of New
York bay is an interesting old man
SIGN that must soon make way for the
advance for present day commerce
During the British occupation of New
York city, after the battle of Long Isl
and and until the close of the revolu-
ton, the friends of the new republic
were kept under pretty close surveil-
lance. Often it became necessary for
them to go temporarily into exile to
avoid threatened Imprisonment or even
worse punishment at the hands of the
military or tory sympathizers. Just
across the bay, at Greenyille, N. j., be-
low CornmunipaW, which in those days
was rich farm district, the friends of
mansion soon became known as Retire
ment Hall. There, in 1860, Capt Tom
Brown, a prosperous seafaring man,
with a heart kindly to the federal
cause, built his home, which in war
times was a shelter for patriots, and
afterward for two generations was the
scene of many political conferences of
Importance and much social gayety. 1t
was a grand mansion in those days,
with broad lawns down to the waters
edge, pretty gardens, trees and shaded
walks A farm OF considerable acreage
extended back to the shore of Newark
bay. The walls of the house are as
thick as fortress and show no signs
Of decay. The front wall is of brick,
which came from Holland; the other
walls are ofrough broWnstone. In the
rear is 3one-story addition of stone,
probably at one time kitchen and
storehouse, with loopholes command
ing the avenues of approach. The fire.
places are large enough for a good
sized man to crawl through. The tim
bers are all hewn from solid logs, the
joints being fastened with immense
wooden pegs. A dungeon, reached by
a trapdoor from the second floor, was
evidently used as a place of slave pun
ishment.-New York Tribune

SICKNESS IN PHILIPPINES.
Mrs. Lawton Says Hardest Thing to
Endure is Homesickness.

Mrs General Lawton, whose ex-
periences at the front in war entitle
her to speak, says the hospital and
medical branch Of the military service
in the Philippines: "All that can be
done or devised to minister to the
wants of the men as they are brought
into the hospitals is not lacking, but
human agency cannot reduce the long
ings for home, the heartaches that
come to men when swathed in band
ages, or the loneliness that follows in
the wake of a hobbling man on crutch-
es, who in his pitiable plight sees no
relief ahead The hardest thing to en-
dure is inconsistencies This can be
ascribed to the great distance from
home and the length of time it takes
for mails to be received.
''The greatest suffering among the
American troops in Manila" Mrs. Law
ton declared, sis not in the trenches,
on the long marches OR in the camps
that are established. The government
through organized commissaries fully
supplies their actual needs, no mat
ter where stationed. Soldiers do not
expect the comforts of home when
summoned for battle or when ordered

THE CITY OF THE LIVING.

IL lung VANISHED age, Whose VdFl6u
story
No record has today
So long ago expired it's grief and
There fiourished, far away
In broad realm, whose beauty passed
all measure,
A city fair and wide,
Wherein the jewellers lived in peace
and pleasure,
And never any died.
Disease and pain and death, those
stern maurauders,
Which mar our worlds fair face,
Never encroached upon the pleasant
borders
Of that bright dwelling place.
No fear of parting and no dread of dy-
ing
Gould ever enter there;
No mourning for the lost, no anguished
crying
Made any face less fair.
Without the citys walls death reigned
as ever,
And graves rose side by side;
Within, the jewellers laughed at his
endeavor,
And never any died.
Oh happiest of earth's favored places
Oh, bliss to dwell therein,
To live in the sweet light of loving
faces,
And fear no graves between!
To feel no death-damp. growing cold
and colder,
Disputing LIES warm truth,
To live on, never lonelier. or older,
Radiant in deathless youth
And hurrying from the worlds remot-
est quarters
A tide of pilgrims flowed
Across broad plains and over mighty
waters,
To find that blest abode
Where never death should come be-
tween and sever
Them from their loved apart;
Still holding heart to heart.
And so they lived, in happiness and
pleasure,
And grew in power and pride,
And did great deeds, and laid up stores
of treasure.
And never any died.
And many years rolled on, and saw
them striving
With undated breath;
And other years still found and left
them living,
And gave no hope of death.
Yet listen, hapless souls whom angels
pity,
Craving a boon like this
Mark how the jewellers in this won
drous city
Grew weary of their bliss.
One and another, who had been con-
cealing
The pain of life's long thrall,
Forsook their pleasant places and
came stealing
Outside the city wall.
Craving with wish that brooked no
more denying,
So long had it been crossed,
The blessed possibility of dying
The treasure they had lost.
Daily the current of rest-seeking NOR
tails
Swelled to a broader tide,
Till none were left within the city's
portals,
And graves grew green outside.
Would it be worth the having or the
giving,
The boon of endless breath?
Oh! for the WEAKNESS that comes of
living
There is no cure but death!
Ours were indeed a fate deserving pity,
Were that sweet rest denied;
And few, methinks, would care to find
the city
Where never any died.
