BEDTIME THOUGHTS.

Our little Blue-Eyes is going to bed,
But never alone goes she;
For Doris and Dorothy over the way
In nightgowns white I see
So here is a thought for your dear little
head:
Across the street they are going to bed.
And all through the town, where we cannot
look,
They are going to bed by the score,
Till l seem to hear: Good night! good
nightr'
Passed on from door to door.
So here is thought for your small curly
head:
All over the city they're going to bed
And the thousands of children throughout
the land
AS westward the sun goes fast,
VIII say their prayers and climb into bed,
Till all will be sleeping at last.
Now here is a thought for your wise little
head:
Thousands of children will soon be in bed
And all over the world, as the sun journeys
on,
An army of girls and boys
VIII don their nightgOwns and say good
night,
Leaving their games and toys.
Oh, here's a big thought for your small
curly head:
Millions of little ones tucked in bed

This BOY Had No Sense.

1t is a pleasure to record the do

youngster who figures in this Incl
dent probably never received a gold
medal for proficiency in his studies
in school. He came up to one of the
free ice distributing stations in New
York during the past summer and
secured his cake" along with the
rest of the applicants. But the re-
ceptacle in which he proposed to
carry the ice was out of the usual
run. 1t was baby coach, and in it
reposed a year old child. The bow
placed the ice in the coach and seat
ed the baby squarely upon it. OF
course, the chilling effects soon told
upon the child, whose agonized
shrieks would not yield to the bows
persuasions, nor did they cease until
an elderly woman came to the relief
and lifted the child from the frozen
cake

the leading nations of the world The
nineteenth century was that of the
British empire; the twentieth is that
of the American republic.
THE full import of this shifting of
international gravity is as yet but
dimly appreciated by the citizens of
the republic and is resented rather
than recognized by the subjects of the
king. We stand on the threshold of a
new era, pregnant with immense pos
sibilities for veal or woe, not merely
for those who speak the English Ian
guage, but for all the children of men,
not only in this island, but in the far
thest seas too remote to feel the eff
feet of the change in the rela tive posi-
ton of Great Britain and the United
States.
Among all nations, peoples, kin
dreds and tongues the slow ascent of
the stars and stripes over the union
jack is a recognized portent to some
of deliverance and hope, to others of
decadence and DOOM
Mr.. Stead promises incidentally to
discuss "the probable effect of the law
of gravitation on the loosely compact
ed cOngeries of commonwealths which
in the nineteenth century belonged to
the British empire, but which may in
the twentieth gravitate to the repub-
lie which now promises to become the
center of the political system of our
race"

world will be damaged. America

THE LIQUOR PROBLEM.
Need of Continuing the Mighty bat
tie Against the Advance of
Intemperance.

Some thinkers decry the present
temperance agitation, claiming that if
continued each succee&ng generation
will have the same unending battle
against the effects of alcohol; whereas,
if the effect of liquor was allowed to
run its course, the people would in
time become immune to it, and it would
have little more effect on them than
would water, and point to nations now
temperate whose ancestors, according
to history, were noted for drunken
ness.
This solution of the liquor problem
is not to be commended. Drunkenness
is never solitary evil; it is the parent
of 10000 evils, and by the time peo-
pie have become immune to the effects
of alcohol they have brought them
selves into a condition from which it
takes centuries to recover. and by the
time they recover they find that the
demon of the still again begins to have
its dire effect. We should not let alco-
hol have full sway in order that there
may be a survival of the fittest, any
more than we should let smallpox have
full sway in order to destroy those sub
iect to it. Time was when plaques
devastated whole continents. The sci
ence of the time stood helpless before
the destroyer, but modern science
balks many of the scourges that once
left ruin in their path. The scientific
treatment discovered by DR.. Leslie E.
Kelley, when applied, overcomes the
plague of drunkenness. Total absti-
nence and the Kelley cure now and
forevermore the effective weapons
against the demon of the still! The
avaricious man is hardly ever victim
of alcohol. 1t is nearly always the gen.
erous fellow. Why should we offer him
a sacrifice to the alcoholic juggernaut
in order that simple and easy-going
people generations from now may
drink their fill without getting drunk.

GERMANS DRINKING LESS.
Hard Times Forcing the People of
That Country to Cut Down
Their Wine Bills

Hard times are accomplishing in
Germany what the temperance cru
saders long ago abandoned as hopeless.
There is now a distinct diminution in
the consumption of wines and spir-
ituous liquors. 1t is estimated that
never in the history of this nation have
all classes been so temperate. Those
who have been in the habit of drinking
wine exclusively have responded to the
demands of their depleted bank ac-
counts by becoming teetotalers.
Wholesale and retail dealers join in
the complaint of the hotel and cafe
proprietors that many persons now re-
gard wine as a luxury who heretofore
thought it a necessity. Maurice Mat
thai, director of the Kaiserhof wine
cellars at Berlin, said to the Chicago
Record-Herald correspondent:
people who formerlyepent 20 marks
(S4.75) for bottle of wine are now pay
ing three marks (72 cents). Those who
paid three marks are drinking beer,
coffee and tea. Germans economic in
food and drink only at the last extrem-
fty. There is no surer indica ton of de-
pleted pocketbooks than decreased
wfnedrinking."
Another circumstance the temper
ance people put on the list of provi-
dental helps is the report circulated
by rival districts that Rhine wine in
duces heart disease.

THE ONLY HOPE.
Some Incidents Which Show Where
the Drunkard Can Find Ger
tain Deliverance.

There is in memory dear friend,
once one of the ablest judges on a SUI
preme bench. His learning was vast
and. thorough. When he was himself
he was a prince in social life, but he
loved the cup. At last he was per-
suaded to enter temperance frater-
nifty and he finally became the chief of
the order in his state. For years his
experience was the old story. At times
the right had the mastery, and 1
wrestled with him to decide ''As for me
I will serve the Lord" But he waited
for a more convenient season, and at
last this star of science and jurispru-
dence went out in the darkness, for
he died dead drunk, alone, in the hot
hold of an Atlantic coasting steamer.
Another, who stood at the head of his
profession as a mechanical engineer,
had the genius of the order which has
produced some of those marvels of in
ventioE for which our country is IA
nous. Though he was much my Sc
nior, our mechanical tastes drew us to-
gether as brothers. Incorporate hab-
its gained power over him till he was
the terror of his lovely wife and daugh-
ters, and of his gray-haired mother.

universal church. Each Of them draws
a yearly salary of 6 1000.
The pope, whose temporal sovereign
ty is now restricted to the Vatican and
Lateran palace, which are recognized
as extra-territorial by the Italian gov
eminent, has not given up his claims
on his lost provinces of central Italy.
He has nuncios and apostolic legates
in most of the Christian states whose
duties are not limited, in Catholic
countries, to mere ecclesiastical af-
fairs; he keeps a skeleton army of two
or three hundred men for parade pur-
poses on the occasion of grand recep-
tions; and has a numerous retinue Of
prelates and chamberlains and staff
of employees.
The chamberlains and military off
GERS are rich laymen with nominal sal
aries, but the Curia cardinals, the
diplomats, the majority of the court
prelates, and all the subordinate en-
ployes cost money, and it is asserted
by people in a position to know, that
the papal court and diplomacy cost his
holiness not less than 100000 year.
1t is relatively easy to total the ex-
penditure, but the income is a prob
lem bristling with difficulties.
When Plus TX. refused with indig-
nation the annual subsidy of C 100000
offered him in 1870 by the Italian in
vaders he was known to possess, in
vested in foreign stocks, about C 1,0OO,-
900 sterling. This investment has been
since then gradually increased by an
other 100000, and it yields at present
a revenue of not less than $4,000.
The institution of the Obolo-Peter's
pence-a revival of an old tax over
Christendom, collected in all the bish-
oprics of the Catholic world-gave, in
the first years, an ample revenue,
which, however, has now insensibly
dwindled to about so, 600 per annum
Efforts, strenuous efforts, have been
made to stir up the generosity of the
faithful, and iubilees, Qualifications
of saints, pilgrimages and other reli-
gious gatherings follow each other in
rapid succession. The great papal
jubilee is ascertained to have brought
to the papal Golfers in round numbers
G 100000, but in ordinary years those
papal celebrations only add some e4O,,
900 to the income of the holy father.
Other sources of revenue are special
audiences granted by his holiness
Every devout Catholic admitted to see
the pope and receive his blessing is ex-
pected to leave a sum of money with
the prelate on duty in the ante-cham.
Der, and these special audiences are
frequent, often weekly, sometimes
daily, and cannot bring less than an.
other $4,000 a year. A well-known
English duke, for instance, is reported
to leave thousand sovereigns when
ever he visits the pope.
So far an income of 100000 is APP
proXimately accounted for, but how
and where the balance is scraped to-
gether to meet the admitted yearly
outlay of a3oo,OOO is beyond the ken Of
ordinary mortals.
