Barmaids Must 60.
ZCNG0H Hospital

In our efforts to control intemperaEce
we may either attack 'tbe drink" itself,
a crusade noble, possibly, but quixotic,
or, with the Bishop of Winchester, we
may adopt the humber but more prac.
ti:al method OF strengthening the
powers Of the law for the suppression of
certain generally recognized evils con.
nected with the trade in alcohol.
Among those evils may we not place
the barmaid? That she is charming
creature" we are, of course, ready to
admit, and that she is often an honest,
hard working and much over worked
woman we not only admit but know
But all the same she is responsible for
much evil. No one who is compelled
bv unkind fate to live much away from
home can help observing to how large
an extent the barmaid is responsible for
the initiation Of drinking habits among
young men, and when one consider:
how many young fellows there are IN al
commercial towns who live away from
home and hardly speak to any womeI
1 except mattresses and barmaids, W,
cannot wonder at it. Barmaids are tn
syrens who lead the young to drink
OF that there can be no doubt, and tn
question is whether the purYeYors c

GermAnY's Industrial Crisis - A
Warning for America.

Consular reports have been re-
Gently describing the industrial
situation in various parts OF Ger
many as bad, and the BErIfHEr
Iage6latt, in a recent issue, con-
firms the depressing news. Ac-
cording to this paper, "the lot OF
the poorer population during the
last few months has cen very Bit
ter, A long and hard winter, the
high price oi coal and the increas-
ing want OF work have created
conditions against which all char
table efforts have been powerless.
Living has become very difficult
among masses of the people. The
necessaries Of life have to be Sc
VerelY restricted. The savings OF
years are in great part consumed,
and debts for rent and food have
been made, the repayment Of which
will influence the we'll being of
many families for long time. Re-
duced protection and dismissal Of
work people are at present so gen
eral that they scarcely attract
notice"
There is a disposition in some
quarters to attribute this distress
to the excessive size of the German
army and the enormous burden
imposed by the new effort to create
a great German feet. To be first
on sea as we'll as on land is held to
be an unreasonable ambition. AT
The Hague Conference, while op-
posing, on Germany's behalf, the
reduction of armaments, Colonel
Schwarzhoff, citing the prosperity
of his country, contended that
great military establishments tend
to increase the national wealth.
"The German people," he said,
"are not crushed beneath load Of
taxation. On the con-
trarY, pub ic and private wealth is
increasing; the common we'll
being, the standard oil life, is rising
from year to year. AS for COM

regard it as a heavy burden, but as
a sacred duty to which she owes
her existence, her prosperity and
her future" For time, no doubt.
large military expenditure pro-
duces a fictitious prosperity, but
not few Germans begin o say
that the after effects are such as the
country now wi nesses. MIlitarism
and aggressive imperialism at

The reports of revolutionary move
ment in Russia which have appeared
abroad are much exaggerated; but there
can be no doubt that the country is in a
state Of serious agitation, which seems
TO be spreading to wider circles. This
outbread is no surprise to the Govern
ment; on the contrary, il now appears
that the police have for the last six
months known OF the existence of a
secret league smOng the students Of all
the Russian universities. They knew
that the students had determined to
seize the first opportunity to make a
monstralion on a larger scale than
ever before, and possibly to necessitate
the closing OF all the universities. They
also succeeded in discovering a secret
congress OF the students which had been
summoned to Odessa. The delegates
Of the various universities were arrested

universities OF other countries without
any after effects. The attitude OF the
public on the present occasion IS very
significant. The Russian people have
usually been indifferent to and ignorant
of the objects of the students, sometimes
even hostile to them. But the present
outbreak, which was really deliberately

FOND OF THE GIRLS.

George Washington's love affairs be-
gan at very early age, and he was to
the day OF his death "fond OF the
gill,." The first sweetheart was one
Mary Bland, with whom he fell in
1--we when he was only IA years OF
age. This is ascertained from an entry
Ii / one OF his diaries, where he refers
to her as his "lowland beauty" Having
tired of Mary. he wrote to friend
that he had decided to "bury his
chaste and troublesome passion" which
having done, he soon found himself
enamored Of Lucy Cary, sister-iu

years, being only interrupted now and
again by his natural Virginia passion
of making leve toevery pretty girlwh m

In 1852 his first serious love affair |
was shattered. Having fallen in love
with certain Miss. Betsy Fauntleroy,
he determined to ask her to become his
wife, but the fates had destined him
to marry another, for she rejected his
proposals. He afterward came back to
her, but found that she bad moi changed
her mind on that score.
His Eext heartache was caused by a
girl in New York after he had become
q Colone. She was the heiress Mary
Phillirse. His business called him
away from her; but having finished
his, he returned to New York and
to her, but was here, as be-
ore, disappointed by her refusal. S
