die out. but IL reports are true it may
soon go the way of the bicycle craze.
1t is stated that but two English dukes
remain in the matrimonial market,

not guarantee happiness. The titles
have glamor for certain class OF

The Bosschieter Temperance Sermon.

There remains of the case now but q

it is:

There is still queen in England.
Alexandra, the queen consort. so long
known as the Princess of Wales, is
possessed of an exceptionally good
measure of that gracious quality
known as "the wisdom of the heart"
and there is no doubt that her popu-
larity will be only little less great
the world over than was that Of her
illustrious predecessor. The influence
of the reigning sovereign in Great
Britain must, generally speaking, be
exerted indirectly-that is to say, it is
a social rather than a political force.
King Edwards winning and ingratia-
ting consort is splendidly endowed for
the position of royal helpmate.

The Fruits of the Saloon.

A year ago we published in the Advo.
cate the following statement of City Mag.
istrate Clarence w. Mead, made by him
from the bench:
Borough of Manhattan Take rum away
and l am certain that two courts will be
sufficient to do all the work"
A few days ago the New York Press
printed most pitiful story that of man
utterly given over to drink, and who had
drawn his tifteen-year-old son down with
him, until the pair stole a horse to get
the money to buy liquor. The father took
the proceeds of the theft and went on
long debauch, and the son arraigned in the
police court begged to be sent to the El.
mira or some other reformatory in order
that he might be freed from the life to
which his drunken father had brought
him.
A still more sckening sight is reported
by the Philadelphia Press as having been
witnessed in police court of that city.
Three sisters, the eldest but twenty years
of age, stood before Magistrate South with

The peppermint-oil crop was the
leading feature in some neighbor-
hoods of central New York few
years ago, and brought more money
into the hands of the farmers than did
Ihe apple crop. But now the pepper
mint crop is mostly a thing of the
past In that section, and the mint
stills are kept in operation by the
crop OF a few acres near them. The
beet-sugar crop has driven the mint
crop westward. for the farmers find
it more profitable to raise sugar beets.
Ten years ago every community in
central New York had a resident who
was getting rich by stilling mint. but
these same mills are now falling into
disuse.
