NOTES FROM AFIELD.

About 200 young women at Wa
remme, in Belgium, have formed a
club known as The Swallows" Each
member has given her word of honor
never to marry a man addicted to
drink.
At the late session of the Methodist
general conference held in Winnipeg,
Canada. a temperance secretary was
appointed from among their number
to travel through the country to
arouse temperance sentiment and to
crystalline it into action.
Though heavy pressure is brought
upon him to promote the sale of in
toxicants in his kingdom, King KhaInd,
the noble chief of the Bamangwatos in
South Africa, still persists in his re-
fusal to allow the deadly traffic to be
carried on.
The fight against drunkenness and
its evil consequences in Belgium
consists mainly in the promotion of
gin abstinence. Preventive and re.
deeming Nephalism, the doctrine of
which was, 20 years ago, introduced
into Belgium from England, is not yet
adopted there.

ALCOHOLISM AND MORALS.
Remarl<ab OmciaI Inquiry which
Has Been Inaugurated in
Brittany.

The council of the appellate court
of Brittany, France, assisted by med
ical authorities, is making an investi-
cation into the moral status of the
province, the people of which are
said to be degenerating owing to al
COholism. The following set of ques-
tons is addressed to all local author
tiles. Q) Since when have the peo-
pie of your district become addicted
to chronic consumption of alcoholic
drinks on a dangerous scale? (2)
What quantity of alcoholic drinks is
consumed by your average citizens;
(a) males, (b) females. (c) children?
(3) When do parents begin to feed
their children with alcohol, mixed in
coffee or otherwise? a. Name sick
Eesses due to alcoholism? (5) State

murders, theft, etc, on head of popu-
lation as it is now and as it was 20
years ago, before the alcohol pest
had taken hold of the people? t6)
Does your district furnish as many
recruits to the army as before and if
not, why not? ~ Has family life
degenerated in the last 20 or 80
years? Are the old folks well treat
ed by the young? (S) Is gambling
of any kind on the increase, and
why? Coz Are there many cases of
infanticide? A similar investigation
will be prosecuted in all parts of the
country in the course of the next
two years. High medical authorities
make the astounding assertion,
backed by official figures, that the
reactionary element in the chambers
is for the most part recruited from
those parts of the country where al
coholism especially tiourishes-Cor.

children would start with a shudder at
every uncertain step on the walk out

above, Benny's mother was getting
dinner.
"Will my little son go to the wood

A HINT To- PARENTS.
Directions from the HelIish De-
vices of the Liquor Traffic.

All young people should be very
earnestly warned to be careful what
they eat. Some years ago great deal
of candy containing small sips of
brandy was sold to young children;
we have not seen any recent reports
that such candies are still be-
ing sold to children, but have
no doubt they are; though prob
ably with more caution than for
merly. But our attention has been
drawn to an advertisement of what are
called whisky beans, which must be
very strong, for it is asserted that one
bean makes one glass of artificial
whisky. The bean can, however, be
taken as it is and a most eXhilarating
effect" is said to be produced by do
ing so.
These beans are advertised as having
call the virtue of the best whiskeys.
without the deleterious effect" and
this assurance, combined with to fact
that they can be eaten instead of
being drunk will, no doubt, make them
appear unobjectionable to many young
people who could not be induced to
taste any kind of liquor. Parents
should warn their children, little and
big, that all stimulants are danger
Gus, and, as a rule, especially danger
Gus to those who feel the greatest
need of them or desire for them.
Children should be taught that the
worst feature of alcoholic liquors does
not consist in the fact that they pos
sess qualities which are directly iniu-
riOus, but in their seductiveness-in
the fact that the use of them, even in
tite for them which grows into a crav-
ing that becomes more and more in
satiable. 1t is true that this result is
not felt by everyone who uses alcoholic
liquors moderately, but the fact that
some persons are not as liable as 9th
ers to contract the craving for alcohol
does not make the warning less neces-
sary or less urgent; because those who
consider themselves most safe before
they begin to drink are often the very
ones who become the most helpless
and hopeless slaves of the craving for
alcohol.
And all stimulants and narcotics have
in a greater or less degree this same
tendency to enslave anyone who al
lows himself to use them habituallv.
The greater and more pleasurable the
effect at the moment, the greater the
danger.
Even coffee, which is a helpful tonic
and stimulant when properly used,
brings some persons into a very harm
full bondage, and should, therefore, we
think, be looked upon as a medicine,
rather than as food; although we
believe that it is a food also. 1t is
better for young people to abstain
from coffee or tea as long as possible.
we think.
1t is not only young persons, how
ever, who need to be warned against
the danger that turks in stimulants
and narcotics. Grown persons are
often far too ready to resort to such
things, and are very apt to increase
their use of them gradually, but stead
lily, without realizing that they are
making trouble for themselves in the
future.-N. Y. Witness.

OF Paris, seeing the words: wine

well, these French are luxurious

Then, feeling that he could afford

in and demanded ''wine-bath."
Feeling wonderfully refreshed after
it. and having to pay five francs. he
asked, in some astonishment, how a
wine bath could be afforded so cheap
ly. His sable attendant, who had
been slave in Virginia. and enjoyed a
sly bit of humor, replied:

course to go back and teach English
in the high normal school of Toxic.
Mitsen Okada was born in Toxic
and was graduated from a mission
school there. Then she was graduated
from the high normal school, and has
taught school four years in Japan.
She is but 81 years old now. She
came here in August and attended
lectures in Boston few weeks be-
fore entering Wellesley. Miss Okada
before coming here could read Eng
lish, but did not speak it at all. Now
she speaks it remarkably well. Each
week she hands in an essay or theme
to her English teacher, and her first
was her impressions of American
girls. 1t was well written and mer-
tied the honorable mention it re-
ceived.
In appearance Miss Okada is mod
est and pretty, having a well rounded
form, bright black eyes, soft black
hair, a clear olive complexion, and
sparkling teeth. Like all Japanese
girls, she is merry little body, and
takes cheerful view of everything.
She has delightful little habit of
laughing childishly between her SEN
fences. She is versatile, and her face
changes expression rapidly; sorrow,
mirthfulness and seriousness are all
expressed in a twinkling.
The demand for teachers of Eng
fish in Japan is yearly increasing.
There are three japanese girls in
Boston preparing themselves to teach
in Japan, Miss Tami Imai, who is in
Tufts college. has been sent by the
government; Miss Shibata is at the
New England Conservatory of Music;
Miss Kiyo Maxine, who specializes BIZ
olOgy and zoology, is at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology:
Miss Maxine works half of her time
and studies the other half. Her
work is decorating book covers and
TRANSMITTING in the Museum of Fine
Arts, and she is taking the scientific
course at the Institute of Technology.
Each of these japanese girls is well
pleased with America and American
customs.

SAVES MUCH LABOR.
Homemade Waitress Relieves the
HOusekeeper of Many Burdens
and Useless steps.

The removal of plates and dishes al
ready used, and the labor of replac-
ing them with another course, means
an awkward break in the meal in
households where there is no one to
wait upon table. 1t is an extra bur
den upon a housekeeper who is glad
enough to sit down after her labor
in the kitchen. The appliance shown
in cut, reproduced from the American
Kitchen Magazine, is a very convenient
labor saver, combining the conven-
fence of the serving table with the
utility of the dinner wagon Ga small

from a firm box 20 inches long, II

pieces of smooth two by two lumber,

the legs set up in the box two or
three inches, or high enough to al
low the shelf to rest upon them,
and the whole fastened together firm
ly. 1t is good plan to nail a board
about two inches wide across the
front to hold in the numerous dishes
which will be placed there later. A
railing or boarding is put on three
sides of the top, and four casters
complete the structure. The orig
inal designer dyed her waitress
with green cotton dye, and then
rubbed it with floor wax to prevent
spOtting, but enamel paint would be
convenient to apply, and excellent
in appearance. At meal times the

with desserts or any other additional
dish on its shelves; plates and dishes
removed during the meal are placed
in it, and the extra course put on
the table. After the meal all the
dishes are placed on the serving ia
