Results Of n Temperance. Lee ur".

Two maiden sisters Of mature years
had been to a temperance lecture. 10
demonstrate the disastrous effect OF al
cohol upon life, the lecturer had p.oHr-
ed a portion of whisky into glass:
which contained water and mass OF
lively aninlalculae OF different unslgf
shapes and sizes. The result OF the
mixture was that the shoals OF ugly
looking fishes were soon berett OF life
and were seen floating helpIessly III the
water.
On the way home, when nearing a sa-
loon one OF the sisters remarked To the
other:
Mary. will you go in and get some
whisky
Some whisky" aitonishingly re-
marked the other,
Yes, dear, for really can never again
drink water with all those horrible
things floating about. ! would rather
drink them dead than alive"

Salvation.

Salvation, as growth is no cheap and
fleeing result. 1t has dignity and endur-
ancc, and they who make it theirs, to any
good degree, are the men and women Of
various and sterling growth. upon whom
the temple of civilization rests, with all its
riches of use and beauty, as on strong col.
umns Salvation, as the putting forth of
our complex life into higher and better
growths, is gradual achievement, and
cannot be consummated even in this sphere
of our existence. For whose nature, en-.
riichcd as it may be, has culml ted in all
the PROJECTIONS of life? The great year of
eternity is still a year of growth Ever the
way opens and the ardor rises. We may
find Indifference low down, but never far
up: for ever wisdom and virtue and love
and piety know their own value. and find
in themselves the sufficient motive Of pro.

Go west, Young woman:

For so long a time giIIs have been left
partnerless at the balls and dances which
it is their delight to atterd, and it has
been such struggle to balance the Wom-

accessible men being so far below the
number of girls al a hostess disposal,
that it has come to be taken for granted
that there are far more women on this
side of the Atlantic than men, just as
is the case across the big, beautiful
ocean. Accordingly the report of the
census officers that there are nearly
100000 more men than there are women
came with a distinct shock. 1t didn't
seem possible. But it is. Those who
ought to know say that the proportion
of girl babies and boy babies is about
equal the world over but there are other
causes that lead to the preponderance Of
one sex over the other in the population
of country. One is war, and the other is
immigration. We have an excess of men
in this country because it is a mecca for
everybody with a hope for wealth who
happens to be living in some other land.

within a querulous sounder clattered an
unanswered call. 1t was a little, dingy

the twilight mice were scampering warIIy

Bill Clark, red-haired, jovial giant

market figures, groWled.
Under the long train shed, where
throngs hurried with Christmas bundles,
Bill Clark waited for the limited from

Charles Baker, of Chicago Miss Electa

why Miss Clifford did not sing in st. Paul
Frederick Helm, president of the st. Paul
Choral club, yesterday received letter
from Mr.. Baker. The manager stated
that he had read the notices given Miss
Clifford in the Minneapolis papers and he
cOnsidereF those notices very flattering
indeed. If Miss Clifford was so success

was she not permitted to sing in ST.
Paul? Mr.. Baker further states in his
letter that a Chicago musical paper,

In house in a suburb the lamps were
all lighted, the stoves glowed, a supper

night dresses hung on the chairs. Years
of wandering had made home doubly

would be too great a revolution to come

One of the results, this winter, has been
the giving Of parties in their own houses,
by young unmarried daughters to other
young women. They have taken the
whole management of the fete into their
own hands; sending out the invitations
drawing up the menus and often Illus
t1ating them, setting the table and ar
ranging the flowers, and settling the
question of precedence which, in the case
of unmarried ladies, would not present
the ordinary difficulties. 1t would be q
personal rather than a social question.

Her Fluffy Hair.

Naturally every woman is anxious to
have fluffy hair since aureoles are lin
fashion, but not all are able to accom-
plish it. After all massage will not give
the desired quality. and other devices
are resorted to by those who are anxious
to appear well cOiffured
One simple method is the brushing of
the hair every night with a solution of
bay rum and roseWater Many of the
mixtures sold in the shops for keepin 6
hair in curl or waves are merely ele-
mentary mixtures, such as sugar and
gum arabic dissolved in water a simple
curling fluid may be made of three and
a half to four ounces of gum arabic dis
solved in half pint of distilled water,
into which eau de cologne or lavender
water is dropped until the cloudiness dis
appears, when the clear portion is strain
ed off and bottled for use
A Partisan hair-dresser gave to a wom-
an who is one of his best customers when
ing solution, which is used in his estab-
lishment for giving the hair a fluffy,
wavy appearance: Salt of tartar, one
dram; powdered cochineal, one-half
dram; one fluid dram each of liquor of
ammonia and esprit of roses; glycerine,
one-quaTter of an ounce: one and one
half fluid ouncesaof rectified spirits, and
eighteen ounces of distilled water. Ac-
cording to his formula, this was left to
dissolve for a week. being regularly shak-
en- up and filtered before bottling for use
When the hair is moistened with the
mixture, loosely adjusted and allowed to
dry, a very7 charming effect is obtained.
