The outside observer of Epworth League
proceedings of the past week must naturally
conclude that the Methodist brethren have
solved the problem which troubled the min
listers and elders not only of this but of
other denominations a few years ago
namely, that Of securing the proper subor
dination Of young peoples societies to the
church. A tendency to go their independ-
ent way was suspected in these leaguers
and endeavorers, and it was considered de-
sirable to curb their impetuosity. Appar-
emily, judging by the drift of things, the
Methodist ministry now has the league
within control and is able to direct it's
course, decide upon its leaders and guide it's
proceedings generally. AS there is indi-
cation of loss of zeal or interest on the part
of the young people, but rather an increase,
the guidance is presumably wise.

The Work of the Saloon.

Did any good thing ever come out
of saloon? Did ever prayer come
out of saloon? Was ever the heart
strengthened and the character
strengthened by the saloon? Did
you ever know any good thing to
come out of one?
When 1 know that the saloon turns
out good boys into good men; when I
know the saloon leads men upwards;
to think better, act better, and work
better, do better and be better; then
will vote for the saloon. So when 1
know the saloon makes men worse,
that it breaks them down, that it leads
them into a more impure life, makes
no man better, makes thousands
worse, makes no home happier,
makes countless homes miserable,
makes no man better, wiser, stronger,
or a better citizen, but makes thou
sands commit crime, leads men to
prison and to the gallows, leads men
to the insane asylum, while 1 know
this to be true, may my right hand
drop paralyzed to my side before it
shall ever put in the box vote for
license

To Mothers of Girls.

Mothers, spend all the time possible
with your girls. Look at life from
their standpoint. Do not judge from
yours when you were a girl. Times
have changed. 1 am astonished every
day at the things young girls do and
the knowledge they seem to have of
life. And 1 always leave them with
the hope in my heart that their home
influence is strong, kind and true.
And that their mothers are keeping
up with the times, and have ever a
watchful eye upon their children,
especially their daughters.
No matter what happens, don't
turn your back upon them. Remem-
Der they are given to you to cherish,
protect and guide all your life. You
are responsible to your Creator fol
the lives of your children. You must
answer to him for the way in which
you bring those children up.-GooG

Barnum and Bailey's Circus.

European papers commenting upon
the triumphal march of this circus
through Belgium, after describing the
prowess and skill of the artists, ex-
press surprise at the extreme rapid
ity with which the work is accom-
plished and the extraordinary order
that reigns throughout, from the mo-
ment Of arrival to that of departure.
The secret of all this may be found
in the following: There is not
served at meals either beer, or wine,
or liquors. They drink tea, coffee,
milk and water. That is to say, all
the employees are total abstainers.
Mr.. Bailey, the director, is also an alb
stainer. Mr., Barnum the founder,
was also an abstainer, and often de-
clared, eff you wish to succeed, no
matter in what, fee drink completely
be abstinent. "-National Advocate.

HOUSEHOLD.
COOKSTOvE VERSUS PIANO.

Poorly prepared food is only par
TALLY digested by the ordinary stom-
ach. Parts of the resistant masses
ferment in the intestine and become
a source of positive injury. Even the
best digestive system succumbs in
time to such attacks, especially If
they are repeated daily year after
year. In no country of the world is
there more liberal supply of the
largest number of varieties of the
best food than in America. These
can be purchased by the poorest la
borer. But in vast majority of the
households, especially of the poorer
classes, they are spoiled in the frying
pan.
We compel our girls to study Latin,
modern languages and literature.
This may be we'll. But in the public
schools of only few of our cities does
cooking occupy place of any i'm
portance in the curriculum. Teachers
of languages and philosophy must first
be paid, and there is no money left
for the salary of well-instructed and
capable teacher of the culinary art.
The college requirements are 80
strict that all the time must be de-
voted to learning rules and exceptions,
to finding greatest common divisors
and least common nultiples. The
poor child has no strength left to
think of anything so useless as cook
ing. Many girl is dragged and
chained to the piano who would glad
ly spend part of the same time in
learning how to prepare an appetizing
and healthy meal. But her mother
considers music and painting as more
important. How can we expect bet
ter cooking before we pay to this
most important of all arts and sci
ences some of the respect which II
deserves? What of the girl who will
never complete even the high school
course, but will go as soon as possible
into shop or factory? When she
marries she will and must cook fol
her family. And all that she knows
about cooking and diet has beer
picked up in one TERMS course in
physiology, where the dangers o.
alcoholic stimulants formed the larg'
est part of her study. She has never
heard that soggy bread can drive {

bread, or perhaps what constitutes
good bread, she does not know. Sh'

HOW A BUSINESS MAN BECAME
A TEETOTALLER.

A most entertaining story of good
temperance work comes to US from
Toronto. One of the junior employees
in large wholesale house built very
comfortable residence and invited his
fellow employees to share his hospital
ity in the housewarming. Next day
senior employee, well-known public
man, congratulated the host of the
evening before upon his comfortable
new home, and inquired how he could
save enough out of his salary to build
it, adding that he, with double the
salary, for so much longer term,
was still in a rented house. Pressed
for an answer the home owner at last
modestly stated that he saved the
moneys that many others spent with
the boys. His interrogation took this
ss home thrust, for he was convivial,
good hearted and open handed, as the
saying is, although not by any means
drunkard. The answer haunted
him, and indeed irritated him. That
very evening he attended public
supper and before it was over got
pretty merry, and was quite surprised
when his eldest son, lad of fifteen
years, who had been at party, called
to accompany him home. He was
Inundated that his son should find
him even slightly under the influence,
and the mental disturbance caused by
his fellow-employe's statement was
increased by the new incident.
Next morning, on reaching the
warehouse, the senior very frankly
unbosomed himself to the junior, and
told him how unhappy his remark of
the previous day had made him, and
how the unhappiness waa accentuated
by the feeling that his son might be
badly Influenced by knowledge of
his fathers tipping. The younger
man was a member of temperance
society, and promptly invited his
friend to join, but he demurred at
pledging for life, and a compromise
was agreed upon, that pledge for a
month on trial should be prepared and
presented to all the people in the
warehouse. The enterprise was 80
timely that every one, eighteen in all,
signed the pledge, except the mana
ger, who Is one of the members fof
the firm. 1t was not presented to the
manager until the name of every en-
ploye in the establishmentwa was affixed,
but that gentleman although church
member and Sunday school super
intendent, declined, and became the
one fly in the sweet-smelling pot OF
ointment. The pledge has since been
renewed for year, and several OF
the signatories have since become
members of a regular temperance So
ciety, including the senior principal
of this story.-CanadiGn Templdr.

Eggs should Not Be "Boiled."

Although eggs are more easily d.
gested raw than cooked they are not
difficult of digestion when carefully
cooked. g. The white of the egg if
boiled rapidly is hard and horny, diff
cult of digestion, and requires most
thorough mastication. If, however,
the egg is put into warm water,
brought to the boiling point, and kept
just below that for twenty minutes,
the yolk is rendered easy of digestion,
and the white loses it's density.
The ordinary term "boiled eggs"
really should not be used, or rather
eggs should not be boiled. To cook
in the shell put the eggs into hot
water, cover the vessel and keep them
away from the fire until the white has
coagulated. The greater the number
ofeggs the longer they must stand and
the greater amount of water. Two
eggs in quart of water will take ten
minutes; four eggs in quart of water
will take twenty minutes. To cook a
larger quantity of eggs for breakfast
put them into a saucepan; pour over
them a quart of boiling water; allow
them to stand on the table ten minutes
drain off this water; cover again with
boiling water; stand five minutes;
then put them into large bowl or
dish. Cover again with a quart of
boiling water and send at once to the
table. By this method the whites
will be coagulated and the yolks will
be perfectly cooked.
There is such Indifference between
hard boiled eggs that it seems neces-
sary to give a decided receipt, as
many dishes call for hard-boiled eggs.
Put the eggs into warm water;
bring slowly to 200 degrees Fahrenheit
and keep them at this temperature
for thirty minutes. n When done lift
and drop them quickly into cold water
and remove the shells.-Ladies' Home
Journal.

BOYS AND GIRLS.
Three Little Kittens.

Three Little Kittens.
Three little kittens, so downy and soft,
Were cuddled up by the fire,
And two little children were sleeping aloft,
As cosy as heart could desire;
Dreaming of something ever so nice,
Dolls and ar-plums, rats and mice.
The night wore on, and the mistress said:
"I'm sleepy, must confess,
And.as kitties and babies are safe in bed,
I'll go to bed, too, guess"
She went upstairs, just story higher,
While the kittens slept by the kitchen
fire.
"What noise can that be?n the mistress said
"Meow! meow!" 'sI'm afraid
A poor little kitty cats fallen out OF bed!
The nice little nest made!"
''Meow! meow!" "Dear me! dear me!
! 1 wonder what can the matter be?"
The mistress paused on an upper stair,
For what did she see below?
But three little kittens with frightened air,
Standing up in row!
With six little paws on the step above,
And no mother cat to caress or love!
Through the kitchen door came cloud of
smoke!
The mistress, in great alarm,
To sense of danger straightway awoke;
Her babies might come to harm.
On the kitchen hearth, to her great amaze,
Was a basket of shavings beginning to
blaze.
The three little kittens were Rugged and
kissed,
And promised many mouse;
| While their names were put upon honour's
list,
For hadn't they saved house?
And two little children were gathered
| tight
To mothers heart ere she slept that night.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional re medles. Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets indamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh cure. Send

Butter by the Yard.

In Cambridge, England, butter is
sold by the yard. For generations it
has been the practice of Cambridge
shire folk to roll their butter into
lengths, each length measuring yard
and weighing pound. Deity
wrapped in strips of clean white
cloth, the cylindrical rolls are packed
in long, narrow baskets made for the
purpose, and thus conveyed to mar
ket.
The butter women who, in white
linen apron and sleeves, preside over
the stalls in the market, have no need
of weights or scales for dispensing
their wares. Constant practice, an
experienced eye enable them with a
stroke of of the knife to divide yard
of butter into halves or quarters with
almost mathematical exactness. The
university people are the chief buyers
of the curiously shaped article.
In addition to being famed for it's
purity and sweetness, Cambridge
"yard butter" is eminently adapted
for serving out to the university stu
dents in the daily commons. Cut in
conveniently sized pieces, and accom-
panied by loaf of the best wheaton
bread, stated portion is sent arouId
every morning to the room of the un-
dergraduates for use at the daily
breakfast and tea The Young Idea.

Davy's Dialogue,

Davy knew what was the right
thing to do, but he would not confess
that it was the only right thing.
There was the empty wood-box. His
mother was with sick Mrs. jerks.
She would come in at five, and have
the wood to bring in herself.
"Father told me to meet him at the
store at two" said Davy to Conscience.
"But you know he told Mr.. Kane
afterward that, with the tired horse
he could hardly get there before half
past two, and you can fill this box in
ten minutes" said Conscience to
Davy.
"Well, 1 don't want to fill that box,
and I'll get no credit if I do.
Mother'll think father filled it for her.
I've done it lots of times and had no
notice taken of it."
This brought down a storm upon
Davy's head.
SHOW much notice do you take OF
the dinner your mother cooks for you
or the clothes she makes and mends?
How much have you noticed Gods
sunshine to-day; or the strong, vel
body he has given you instead of g
sick body like Mrs. Jenks' /? How
much"
"Never mind-never mind! I'll DE-
it," said Davy.

ga Monday, aged los years. He
was born in County Limerick, Ire
land, and came to America in 1883,
landing at Charleston, S. c. Three
years later he drove into the interior

between Chattanooga and Bristol.
His hearing was perfect to the day
of his death and his eyesight was
but slightly defective. He breathed

ciprocity, have also talked to me
on the subject and one of them told
me he believed that if the question
of annexation could be placed be-
fore the people of Cuba not more
than five per cent of the population
would vote in negative. My poll
cy is to grant 40 per cent reduc-
ton of the present tariff rates for
a year, at the end of which time
am confident that a large majority
of the Cubans will be glad to &C.
cept an invitation to become an,
nexed to this country. Some of
my colleagues opposed the resolu
ton when | first introduced it be-
cause they feared that were Cuba
admitted as a territory it would be
a long time before statehood would
be granted. While l appreciate
that there is danger of that | do
not apprehend that it will prove
serious and | would regard it asa
mistake to admit the Cubans to
statehood. until they have had
greater opportunities for familiar
izing themselves with our methods
and our Institutions"
Referring to the Hill bill, which
was recently introduced in the
House and referred to the commit
tee on banking and currency, Mr..
Cochran, of Missouri, said to day:
''The bill provides for the coming
of all the seigniorage in the treas
ury into subsidiary coin, gives the
Secretary of the Treasury discre-
tionary power to coin silver dollars
into subsidiary coin and makes sill
yer dollars exchangeable for gold
at the treasury, just as greenbacks
are now exchangeable for gold.
Gin my judgment it is travesty
on treason and common sense. If
the silver dollar is to become a
more token like the greenback-a
sight draft on the treasury gold
reserve why continue it in ex
istenceg If our treasury is to adopt
this policy why not fabricate de-
mands upon the gold reserve of
paper at a cost of a small fraction
of / per cent instead of making a
token ont of silver at a cost so
cents? What grotesque propo-
sition it is! What a commentary
upon the craftsmanship that has in
hand the reduction of our financial
system to order.
And even greater absurdity
would be the enactment of this law
without changing the banking law
so as to require the banks to keep
their reserves in gold I To allow
the banks to keep their reserves
in silver would be to subject all to
the gold standard except the banks,
No such change is likely. Nobody
knows better than the great bank
ers that there IS not gold enough
In the world to carry the great
volume of credits in existence. The
mere mention of a law requiring
the bankers to keep their reserves
in gold is sufficient to set we'll in
formed fnanciers to trembling.
However, Mr.. Hill's bill will never
be brought before the House. The
dare not pass it be-
cause the bankers don't want'it
passed.
"In his testimony before the
coinage committee Mr.. Gage freely
that better policy would
be to sell the silver dollars as
Junk, as Germany did, and 60 OUT
If the silver business entirely, and
he plainly said that ultimately this
would have to be done. Well, if
hat is the best policy why is it not
proposed? Certainly the measure
by Mr.. Hill is the worst
policy that human ingenuity could
levise."

Appalling Disaster.

Baku, Trans Caucasia, Feb. II
Details at Baku from Shamaka
show that 1900 persons, mostly
women and children. persisted as
a result of the earthquake last
week, and that 1900 houses were
destroyed.
Thirty-four villages of the coun-
try surrounding Shamaka also suf-
fered. To add to the terrors of
the neighborhood, a volcano near
the village of Marasy, eastward of
Shamaka, has broken out into act
i've eruption. A great crevasse
has appeared, whence immense
flames and streams of lava are be-
ing thrown out. The course of
the River Geonchaika has been
altered in consequence of its bed
being damned with earth which
had been disturbed by the earth
quake.
Battalions of guards and detach-
ments of soldiers, with tents, have
been dispatched to Shamaka to aid
in the work of rescue.
The Red Cross Society is active
in alternating distress.
