world. A poor, half crazed woman
out lin Kansas, demented by her
wrongs caused by drink, marches into
saloons and demolishes them. We
would initiate her example, but the
day has passed when women ruin their
health by tears and midnight watch
ing. We have been urged to 20 back
to our tears, our prayers and moral
suasion, but you will never get the
Christian Temperance Union back into
the weeping period. We have out.
grown that. Why, the women have
wept tears enough to aca. ship, aud
the men here voted in their liquor
lispensary faster than their tears
could fall. Fewer tears and more
work. Il can tell you unless good
men, good citizens, the servants of
God can come together and with one
united voice throttle and down the
saloon it will throttle and down us.
To-day we can do it, tomorrow it may
be too late.
Let not the w: G. T. u. be tagging
in our work. The weather is warm,
and many are tired and worn out with
the heat and burden of the day, but,
oh, let us look after our tempted
ones-our sick who need kindly
smile and bright flowers to cheer
them; the poor unfortunates in our
County Home, and those fallen wretch
es who linger in our prison cells. Let
us keep together in the good work.
A little woman down in Marion Co.
writes: "We are getting up a petition
to do away with the dispensary in our
town and we believe we will carry .he
day." God bless her in her work.
"Then conquer we must when oul
cause it is just,
And this be our motto in God is our
trust,

Where it Really is Hot.

There may be some consolation in
the fact that. in spite of Philadel-
phia's protracted hot spell, this is not
the hottest place this side Of Sheol.
The Hottest region on the earth sur
face is said to be on the southwestern
coast. of Persia, on the border of the
Persian Gulf. In this locality the
thermometer has registered over 100
degrees in the shade for forty consecu-
tive nights and days, while in the hot
part of the afternoon the mercury fre-
quently touched 13O degrees. In the
centre of this belt of fire the discom-
fort is increased by the almost utter
lack of water. Well shafts have been
sunk to depth Of 100, 200. 300 and
even 500 feet without striking water.
But in spite of all these inconven-
iences cities in this region have quite
numerous population. but tie water
on which life is sustained is secured
from copious springs which burst
from the bottom Of the gulf, more than
mile from the shore.
How these submarine fountains
have ever been discovered is mys-
tsry, but there seems never to have
been time in history when their ex-
istence was not known to the ichabi-
tants. The method Of collecting this
fresh water from the bottom of the
brackish Persian Gulf is most inter
esting. Divers whose sole occupation
is that Of furnishing the people of the
city with fresh water repair to that
portion of the gulf where the springs
are situated and bring away with them
hundreds of skin bags of water each
day. The water of the gulf where the
springs burst forth is nearly two hun
dred feet deep, but the divers manage
to fill their goatskin sacks by diving
70 the hotteHa and holding the mouths
of the bags over the, fountain jets;
and strange to say, there is never
drop of salt water finds it's way into
the bags. The sources Of these sub
marine fountains is thought to be in
the mountains, some 500 miles away.

Soae Antique Slaag.

Many Of the familiar phrases Of the

meaning Q good fellow. has been traced
to a.king Of Sparta four centuries B.
O. A visitor to Lacedemonia, the
Spartan cspi:al, Was surprised to find
the city without walls and asked the
king what he would do in case of in

was once the custom in France, when
d guest mad outstayed his welcome, to
serve him with cold shoulder Of
mutton instead Of hot roast as gem

''To Kick the Bucket. This
phrase dates back to the time of Queen
elizabeth. A shoemaker named Haw-
kins committed suicide by fta ,ding
on bucket placed on table to raise
himself to convenient rafter. To
kick the bucket was, of course, his last
act on earth.
Catching Tartar. During the
war between Russia and the Tartars a
private soldier cried out, Captain, L

ordered him to bring his prisoner for

that the Tartar was holding back his

"Apple-Pie Order."- certain
Hepzibah Merton, in Puritan times,
was in the habit of baking two or three
dozen apple pies every Saturday,
which were to last her family
through the week. She placed them
in her pantry, labelling one or more for
each day in the week. The pantry
thus arranged was said to be in apple.

Like to 60 to Funerals.

| Undertakers say that hundreds Of
people make practice Of going around
from church to church to attend the
varions funeral services. It is no.
tion of recent growth, but is becoming
very popular.
The special attraction in the case of
Catholic churches is said to be the
fine music which usually attends the
celebration. of Solemn High Mass
for the repose Of the dead. When the
services Of more than two clergymen
are employed the attraction is all the
greater, the undertakers say.
"It is rapidly becoming the popular
thing" said one of the latter. II

how 1t was that the same faces were
to be seen at SO many church funerals.
made inquiries and learned that a
number of women make it II rule to
scan the death columns every morn
to pick out what promises to be a
| fashionable funeral service.
Some Of them go over to Brooklyn
and Jersey even to satisfy their cray

mere fact that in many church funer-
ais card Of admission is required
does not seem to keep them away,
either. The sexton Of one of the big
gcst churches on 9th avenue told me
that kc knew more than five hundred
women who make practice of attend
ing church funerals. He added that
it would be impossible almost to drag
these same women TO church we'd
ding. There is something so magnetic
in church funerals as to be simply ir.
