Il il reported that the saloon mch
throughout the land are getting very much
stirred up on account OF the wave oi tenn
pe.ancc sentiment now sweeping over the
country.
About 200 young women of Warcmme,
in Belgium. have formed club known as
The Swallows" Each member has given
her word OF honor never to marry n man
addicted to drink.
At the last session of the Methodist
General Conference he'd in Winnipeg.
Canada, a temperance secretary was ap-
pointed from among their number to travel
through the county to arouse temperance
sentiment and to crysta.ize it into action.
1t is stated by Mr.. Pinhorn. of the Lon
don Temperance Council. that. taking Lon
don as whole, drink was the direct cause,
at the very lowest estimate, Of 42,000
deaths during 1901.
A pressing present need OF the country
is great temperance revival, relying
chiefly upon the personal appeal. Thous.
ands OF p.edee-signcrs would be rescued
from drunkenness and more thousands
prevented from becoming drunkards.
There ia statute in Pennsylvania ehch
provides that saIoonkeepers shall he held
responsible in damages for injuries result.
ing from their sac OF liquors to intoxicated
persons, and the Supreme Court OF the
State has lately made a decision which
sus:ains the law as constitutional and
equitable.

The "Hoodoo" in Newspaper omees.

The "Hoodoo" in Newspaper ofnees.
A. L. Miller, city editor Of the OF.
tawa (Kan.) Herald, who Is something
of a "hoodoo" sharp, has made the
following interesting discovery. He
says:
There is a hoodoo in every news
paper Office. 1t hides behind the cob
webs and comes out at critical times
and gets in Its dastardly work. The
story Of how the newspaper hoodoo
was born is told with hushed breath In
every printing office.
Those who know say that when
Herr Gutenberg started the first
newspaper in Germany a maiden lady
Of advanced years persuaded some r.
responsible youth to marry her. She
left word at the newspaper office that
the thing be properly written up.
"The paper told the truth. including
statement about the brides age.
looks and disposition. and she. being
mad with rage sold herself to the
devil and was transformed into an evil
spirit. To this day this evil spirit
prowls around newspaper Offices.
Don't laugh when you see ludicrous
things in the Herald. They are the.
devils work. Cross yourself"

According to q gentleman who has
spent many years in the gold fields.
the average digger would bear COM
parison with some Of our best de-
baters.
Some time ago the boys" Of Nugget

was generally admitted that the size
Of the colony-consisting rs 1t did Of
something just over dozen shanties-
entitled 1t to be considered a city. and
Mecca City sprang into existence.
Then one Roaring Dick arose and
wanted to know what the "citizens''
intended to do In the matter Of lighting
tho streets" by night.
You know me. boys" he said. twirl.

II amt afraid O. nothing. naythur In

Now Dodge In Street Bcrrinr.

Ideas count for success. even In
street begging. Old tricks become
tiresome through familiarity. The
mendicant OF the present day. II he
would live well. must get something
new. One Of the latest lodges of the
New York solicitor Of aims Is heroic.
1t first a-ouses the Indignation Of the
victim. then pacifes him. and finally
wins his sympathy and his money. II
is worked In this way: A shabbiiy at.
tired man hurries along the street. ap-
parently unconscious Of his surround
ings. He expectorates. as though by
chance. on to the well-polished shoe of
q passer-by. Before the man has time
to protest the mendicant drops on his
knees and. with the remnants Of a
well-worn handkerchief. rubs saway at
the soiled shoe. meanwhile pouring
forth profuse apologies. Nine times

Her "Ynrb" Tea.

Doctor Chase has not long had the
privilege of writing M. D." after his
name. which may account for his belief
In the correctness Of his own theories.
He is fond of experimenting with new
drugs. and has a sturdy faith In his
own methods and his own prescrip-
tions. He had been working assidu-
ously on n grip remedy. says the Chi
cago News, and was eager to prove
Its virtues to two skeptical colleagues.
At length his opportunity came.
Old Mrs. Luther. who had never been
known to employ a doctor. sent for
him. She undoubtedly had the grip.
The doctor called twice a day, and
watched closely qhe effect of his treat
ment. He reported the symptoms to
his two friends, the other doctors, and
told them how sure he felt of victory.
The old lady did. indeed, begin to
mend. Finally the day came when
the disease was undoubtedly checked.
Then the young doctor called in his
friends.
"Now just tell these doctors. Mrs.
Luther" he began, affably. "how pleas
antly the medicine has affected you,
and all about It"
The old lady fingered the bedquilt
nervously. and finally said. "Well. the
truth Is, doctor, ! took only one dose
of your medicine. When my old man
gets sick I have m awful time getting
him to swallow the yarb tea I make.
and when tasted that medicine of
yours and found II so nice and sweet

would take this without n bit Of
trouble. I'll save 1t till he needs Il
some time. and I'll 60 on drinking my

On one Of her recent trips to Edinburgh
q certain steamer carried deck passenger
who retired at nightfall, having imbibed
more strong beverage than suited his con.
stitution. His mental confusion on rising
next morning was sadly intensified when
he made the unpleasant discovery that all
his personal clothing was missing.
The steward and his staff were promptly
summoned to his cabin. and were followed
in due course by the genial captain himself.
The mystery seemed to DEFY all conject.
ure until the captain asked the sufferer ii
he had any remembrance Of how he had
disposed of his clothes over night.
A sudden gleam of intelligence lighted
the passengers eye, and the mischief was
made apparent to all the onlookers when
be answered.:
why, Of course! remember now. Be.
fore turning in put them all into that lit.
tie cupboard yonder."
why. mani" roared the captain. that
little cupboard as you call it is the port.
hole"
Only one person on board failed to thor.
oughly appreciate the humor of the situa-
tion, and he it was who borrowed an outfit
from the steward, and abstained from
drinking whisky and like beverages during
the remainder Of the voyage.

Aluminuin For Printing.

Experiments are being made In
France with the idea Of substituting
aluminium for paper suitable FOR writ
Ing and printing. 1t is now possible
to roll aluminium into sheets four
thousandths of an inch thick, In which
form 1t weighs less than paper. BY
the adoption Of suitable machinery. II
Is claimed, these sheets can be made
even thinner. and can be used for
book and writing paper. The metal
will not oxidize. is practically fire and
water proof. and Is indestructible by
worms.-Springfield Republican.
