ton Della went forward and gathered
the poor disfgured head in her hands.
She had shrunk from touching Katie's
hand before; now she stopped and
kissed the bit of forehead which was
not covered with bandages.
81 am here, Katie, and 1 am going
to stay with you," she said.
In spite of her husbands protest,
Della remained in that dimly lighted
room all night. The pain which poor
Katie suffered was indescribable, and
Ryan retired to the kitchen, where
she could not hear them, leaving the
minister's wife alone.
Mr.. Post waited down stairs, and
his brave wife sat by the sick girls
bedside, holding one bandaged hand
in hers, while she murmured comfort
ing words or sang in a low, sweet
voice. Her husband heard it in the
middle of the night and thanked God
He had given him such a wife.
1t was not until the next evening
that Katie's weary feet slipped over
the brink of time into eternity. AS
her sufferings grew worse, she clung
more tightly to the soft white hand
and listened to the loving words which
the minister's wife spoke. Mr.. Post
hardly recognized Della in this wom-
an whose tender ministries helped the
wounded, stricken, homely girl to die
in peace.
Mrs. Mcpherson and some other Ia
dies of the church came in during the
next day, and they were amazed at the
bearing of the woman whom they had
criticized for having four silk dresses
and sealskin cloak. These things
seemed so insignificant in this cham
ber of death-and such a horrible
death.-Waverley.

Woman's Tailored Shirt Waist.

Simple severe tailored waists are
much worn and suit many materials
far better than any other sort. The
May Manton model shown is made of
Saxony flannel, woven in Roman strips
of pastel tones, one Of the newest and
most fashionable wasting materials,
and is eminently smart. but Is equally
desirable for embroidered stripes. the
heavier fannels, corduroy, velveteen
and all the materials which call for
simplicity. The original Is made over
a fitting lining that renders 1t peculiar
ly snug and becoming. but the waist
can be made unllned whenever pre-
ferred.

Gated his hip. says a Bowling Green,
Ohio, special in the Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune. He was watching
his little child put it's great toe in it's
mouth, and the ease with which the
youngster did the trick astonished the
father, who became so interested that
he put away his tools, and, sitting
down on the hoor of his shop, took off
his shoes and tried the stunt. He
found his joints rather stiff for such
fun, but at length, with a tremendous
effort, he triumphantly seized his big
toe with his teeth. and just then his
hip slipped out of joint.
The doctor was called and matters
adjusted, but pa will miss few
weeks work While the limb was be-
ing put back to its place the baby con-
tinued placidly to suck its toe.

Alcohol In Relation to Women

In the latest number of the Quarterly
journal of Inebriety there appeared an ar.
ticle on Alcohol in Relation to Women"
by Haywood Smith. In it he gives statis-
tics tending to show that intemperance is
far more prevalent among women than
among men. These statistics are taken
mostly from the records of private re-
treats and refornatories, and while they
would seem conclusive evidence that there
are more drunkards among women than
among men we can hardly agree with him
In this statement. When woman be-
comes a habitual drunkard she is usually
placed in sanitarium at once by her fam
ily, if she has one, and If not, is given over
to the protection of the State. The habit
ual male drunkard, on the contrary, is
more his own master, objects strenuously
10 confinement, and hence as rule remains
at home, protected and cared for by his
family, and in nine tenths of all such
cases living with them until he dies. Thus
his case does not go on record. His crime
Is not so heinous nor so offensive to the
curious mode of modern ethics, which pre-
scribes one set of moral laws for the wom-
an and another for the man. We think
that if all such cases were reported the
sum total of inebriate men would far sur
pass that of inebriate women.-American
Medicine.

Yoke Blouse Closing Mt Back.

Fancy blouses that close at the back
are aud will be much worn both as
part of entire costumes for indoor
wear and the odd bodices that find
, such an important place in every COM
blete wardrobe. The dainty and at
tractive May Manton design illustrated
In the large drawing includes sever Il
novel features and is adapted to many
materials. The original is made of
Nile green louisine silk, the yoke and
sleeves being enriched by applied discs
of paune in deeper shade and edged
with a narrow fancy braid, while the
undersleeves are Of cream chiffon, but
all soft silk and wool fabrics are ap-
propriate. The applied discs are en-
tirely new this season, but do not in
volve any excessive labor while their
effect Is smart in the extreme.
The lining fits smoothly and snugly,
but closes with the outside at the CEN
tire back. The yoke is applied over the
| foundation, on indicated lines and is
met by the smooth backs and full
fronts. The sleeves are cut after the
latest model and include full soft un-
der puffs, with slightly bell-shaped over
portions, the edges Of which are curved
to match the yoke. The stock collar
is plain and isA attached to the neck.

Tho Rum Crazed Murderer.

The Tacoma (Wash.) Ledger apropos
Some events in the criminal courts of that
State, declares in strong language its con-
elction regarding intoxication as factor
In defensive evidence OF a confessed mur-
3erer. 1t says:

This county. 1t was the fourth murder
committed within as many weeks. An eff
fort has been made to show that the as

whether or not the prisoner was drunk
Is matter of not the slightest conse-
3uence. The courts have to pass upon TINS
deed. For this deed there is a prescribed
penalty. All the public asks is that the
penalty be meted OUT
When the Supreme Court of the United
States in October, 1887, declared that the
general use of Intoxicating drinks may"
andanger the public safety and that the
prohibition OF their sale for that reason is
perfectly in accord with American princi-
pies, the question as to whether or not
the prisoner was drunk" was thus de-
:lared matter" of exceeding conse-
quence to the public and society in gen
eral. The paper supporting a party that
legalizes and protects this menace to the
public safety, is to that extent both le-
eally and morally responsible for every
murder committed by some poor victim
of that damnable traffic. The rights" of
q weak live man are just as sacred as those
of any other and the fundamental princi-
pies of the civilized state recognize that

Drunkenness No Excuse.
James was her only son,
A bright and noble bov,
"A widows trust and pride,
A doting mothers Joy.
He was at home and school
Both dutiful and kind,
OF honest, open heart,
OF bright, inquiring mind.
The mothers wealth of love
She lavished on her boy;
To whom she fondly chung,
Her only earthly Joy.
Without his fathers hand,
It's guidance and restraint,
Sad change in time she saw,
And heard her sons complaint.
That home was not as bright
As scenes upon the street,
Where folly's songs were sung,
Hard by the scorner's seat.
Corrupt companionship,
With evil leaven fraught,
In body, spirit, soul,
Its subtle poison wrought.
The voice within at first
Condemns the lighter drinks;
Yet reason as he may,
He through indulgence sinks.
The mother patient bore
The folly of her child;
Her heart, it's agony
Suppressed to accents mild.
She summoned all the strength
Of self-denying love,
That home, with added charms,
Its sacred worth might prove.
But Satan, subtle fiend,
By sins delusion charmed,
His victim blindly led,
His captive's fear disarmed.
Until debased, he trod
OF hell the very brink!
And in his rawlings cursed
And fought the demon drink
The mothers tortured heart
In agony now broke;
And to his double crime
The son in horror woke.
But mercy spread her wings
And brooded Ger the loss:
And now, redeemed, he clings
A contrite to the cross.
The mothers tears and prayers,
Preserved pledge on high,
Now fall in dews of grace
From out the answering sky.

Brittany has a strange burial custom.
Bodies are buried as in this country,
but when the flesh has disappeared
the skeleton Is exhumed and the skull
detached and placed in a tiny coffin
These skull coffins are little boxes
painted black or green, shaped like a
dog kennel, with sloping roofs. They
are about two feet long. one foot deep
and one foot broad and have an oval
or heart shaped opening at one end,
surmounted by cross. The opening
is fitted with glass so that a portion
of the skull is visible and appears to
scowl at the curious spectator. The
boxes are arranged on ledges and cor
nices of the churchyard walls. 1t is a
great and costly privilege to have

place.
