If a man always took his wife's ad-

CURSE OF THE CHILD
HOW THE BEER JUG AFFECTS THE
YOUNG IN ENGLAND.

An American Woman In an Hour
and n HaIf Counted Forty-seven
Children Under Twelve Years of
Age Trading at Public Houses.
Elizabeth L. Banks, an American
woman who is a London correspondent
of the Chicago Evening Post, says:
On a recent promenade in the vicini-
ty of Victoria station, London, within
an hour and a half l counted At chill
bred, all under the age of II, going to

with jugs. l stopped a number of them
and chatted with them, winning their

of a charwOman to do housekeeping
and they telling me that their mothers
or grandmothers or big sisters did that
sort of work.
Beer! Beer! Beer! Their homes
smelled of it-reeked with it. Many
of the children themselves seemed sat
urated with it.
Excuse me, ma'am. My little girl
says you want a charwoman. Do you
allow beer?"
This from a young woman of perhaps
% or 80, with one baby in her arms,
n hanging to her skirts and the little
tot with the pitcher lear her, spreading
a bare table in the front room" with
bread and cheese and beer for the mid
morning refreshment that is known as
"~levenses."
what do you mean by allowing
beerY" l asked.
Beer for levenses, dinner and sup
per, ma'am, while I'm doin the 'ouse-
work.
81 do not allow beer" 1 answered,
looking her sharply in the face, "but l
am willing to pay 3 shillings a day for
a good charwoman. That, you know, is
sixpence more than the regular price"
"Well, ma'am, that bein so, l "a
more than provide my W beer out Of
the heXtra siXpence!"
mo; l cannot agree to that. 1 neither
provide beer myself nor allow my char
woman to provide it,. | find beer makes
one sleepy and dazed, and when a serv-
ant or charwOman has beer during the
day she does not do the work so rapid
ly, and she seems to get to knocking
the good furniture about. But as l
don't want any one to think | keep
back the beer on account of the price |
pay 3 shillings instead of IS. Cd. a day.
The extra siXpence is exactly twice the
amount you would expect to pay for
the beer, you know"
The young woman drew herself up,
after placing her baby on the table, put
her hands akimbo on her hips and
said: You won't suit me, ma'am. l re-
fuse your situation!"
AS | walked away, feeling rather
aroused over the failure of my attempt
at missionary work, | heard the woman
saying to a ~neighbor who had just
dropped in: "There goes Lady emery
Somerset. l s'pose she thought didn't
r~eckonize 'er temperance laidyship!"
That put mi in better humor, and |
laughed to myself, for had never been
given reason to suspect that in the
slightest degree l resembled that noted
temperance reformer and brilliant wo-
man, Lady Henry Somerset.

The best and surest way in when a

crease the productive power of his
farm. The better the soil the larger

a farmer can possibly have is the de-
