Saloons on Sunday.


The Rev. Minot j. Savage. D. D.,
preaching in New York on the origin,
history and authority of Sunday. de-
clared strongly for local option in the
matter of the saloon. The Rev. George
w. Gunston of the James Methodist
church took precisely the opposite
ground, insisting that no saloon should
be opened on Sunday. Mr. Macarthur
proposed as a substitute for the sa-
loon the use of the public school
buildings on Sunday for peoples clubs.
Mrs. Josephine Shaw Lowell long ago
emphasized the fact that these build
ings belong to the people and should
be used by them whenever such use
does not conflict with the educational
interests of the children. Since then
the large use of the buildings for pop
ular lectures proves that the people
are recognizing their rights in this re-
spect, and it may we'll be that their
use on Sunday, as Doctor Macarthur
suggests, will be the next step. Doc
tor ParkhurSt, whose zeal for civic
righteousness cannot be questioned,
asserts that the movement for Sunday
opening is in effect one for Sunday
closing.

Royalty Expert with a Rife.

Quite number of royal ladies are
adopts with the rifle. One of these is
Fortugals plncky queen, who recently
received the German medal for saving
life. Her majesty is a keen sports
woman, and can handle her gun with
precision which is positively deadly.
Queen Helena of Italy is another clev-
er shot. She spends most of her time
in her pretty little hunting lodge in
the island of Monte Cristo, and is as
clever with the resvolver as with the
rifle. The Duchess Carl-Theodore of
Bavaria and her sister, the Archduch-
ess Carl-Ludwig, the Grand Duchess
of Luxembourg, and the Grand Ouch
ess of Hesse are others who can hold
their own with the gun. Our own
queen and her daughters prefer the
rod to the gun and may be regarded as
expert fisherwomen.

Gamekeeper.s Tip $3.50.

The position of head gamekeeper to
an English country gentleman who
habitually has shooting parties is a
most valuable one. for even the most
humble of the invited guests is ex-
pected to leave very substantial tip
with the outdoor servant in question.
In all cases where the visit extends to
a week or more. the head gamekeeper
expects, and generally receives, q tin
of from f3 to s. so. and it is very
soubtfu1 whether any sum less than q
sovereign would be acknowledged with
q word of thanks.

Heredity More than a Theory.

At the beginning of the century just
past a woman aged sixty years died.
She had lived a life of drunkenness,
vagabondism and crime. Seventy-five
years later her progeny numbered S34
persons, and of these the history of
700 has been traced and recorded. OF
this number 106 were illegitimate, 142
were beggars. Ga lived upon charity,
161 women We're living immoral lives,
IS We're common criminals, and were
assassins or murderers. During that
period of seventy-five years this one
family had cost the state, for mainte-
nance imprisonments, asylum eXpens-
es, criminal trials and interest more
than a million dollars.-Ram's Horn.

Effects of Alcohol.

Prof. Victor Horsley. +. R. S., lee
auring at the London Institution, Lon
don. England. on the effects of alcohol,
feet which small quantities of alcohol
had upon the brain, which was the
highest part of the nervous organiza-
ton The result of taking alcohol in
small quantities was that it produced
a slight mertal quickening during the
first few min dtes after it had been i'm
bibed, but in a short time it inevitably
led to a second stage of failure or loss
OF power. The first effect of a small
quantity of alcohol was to suspend or
interfere with the operation of the
highest part of the brain which,
translated into popular language,
meant the loss of the controlling
mechanism, as if the brake were re-
moved from a wheel and it went on
more quickly than before, but not
necessarily more efficiently. Errors
also became more numerous after tax
ing alcohol. Experiments with tea
showed that it produced an aoccelera-
ton at first, but there was no paral-
ysing effect at all The stimulative
stage passed away, but here was no
less of power. and precisely the same
thing had been shown as regards cof-
fee. All the evidence justified him in
the assertion that, taken even in diet
etie quantities, alcohol was distinctly
accompanied by change of the ner-
vous system which could not be con-
sidered beneficial.

Nautical Heir Apparent.

British service papers have noted
that the Prince of Wales is the first
heir apparent to the British crown to
hold an actual commission in the
navy. the senior service on their side
of the water. Hitherto the heir appar,
ent has been put into the army. and
any naval rank he may have held has
been purely honorary. The same rule
was followed in the case of the sons of
the present king; Prince Edward was
made a soldier, and died while major
in a hussar regiment; Prince George
was made a sailor, and has command
ed his own ship on a regular cruise
Now, by the death of his elder brother
he becomes Prince of Wales. the first
OF the line to be a sailor. Hitherto he
has been promoted rapidly. but with
decent period of service in each rank.
until he now holds the commission of
a captain. Hereafter his promotion
will be honorary, as it will no longer
be advisable for the heir to the crown
to go to sea in command of fleet or
to take the risks Of a naval officer

That Was the Difference.

Yes, that is where he made a mis-
take" said Mclean, referring to the
latest act of stupidity on the part of
McFariane. | don't call such an ac-
ton as that a mistake" replied old
Cormack dictatorially; 4 call it a
blunder." We'll, it's all the same
thing" returned Mclean. Ma, you're
wrong there" was Cormack's reply;
there's a good deal of difference be-
tween a blunder and a mistake" Il
should like to know what it is" an
swered Mclean skeptically. We'll,
suppose you went to call on some
friend, put an old umbrella into the
stand, and took away new one when
you left, that would be a mistake; but
suppose you put down a new one and
brought away an old one, that would
be blunder, dye see?" Mclean ad-
mitted that there was a differences after
all.-From Tit-Bits.

Now Paner HnldS Nntnr

There are many so-called waterproof
papers. and several are prepared with
paraffin and linseed oil. None of
them, however. holds water any length
of time. and not one OF them is totally
uninfuenced by greasy matters. Such
a combination as supple, fat and wa
terproof papers with a glossy surface
does not exist. The new process con-
sists in treating paper with a boiling
hot mixture of paratffu and liuseed oil
and pressing between rolls. This pro-
cedure is carried out twice. The pa
per is then treated with shellac and
finally with powered tale. The paper
is again rolled and pressed. which is
the finishing process. The -varniShes
employed serve to make the paper inn
pervioss to fatty substances and pre-
vent the paper from having any un-
pleasant smell, says the Paper Trade
journal. The tale is glaZe-giving
substance, which at the same time
serves to give the paper a leathery
consistency and is not easily torn, yet
does not crack.

INDIAN PRAIRIE DOG HUNTS.
These Little Animals Deemed Dainty
Dish by the Nayaios.

Denver. Dec. lS.-The Navajo Indian,
while he cannot be prevailed upon to
eat a rabbit, is greedily fond of fat
prairie dogs. Large communities of
these small animals abound on the
western plains, and the Navajo has re-
sorted to many ingenious methods for
trapping his coveted dainty. One of
them is by the aid of bit of mirror
placed at the entrance of burrow.
When the animal ventures from his
bedroom, deep under ground. he sees
front door and he hurrieS out to con-
front the impudent intruder, when he
is pinned to the ground with an arrow.
But the most effective method is what
the Indians call the rain hunt. AS soon
as the steady downpOur of summer
rains begins every Navajo who can
walk repairs TO the prairie dog village
with hoes, sharp sticks, or any digging
implement. With these they hollow
out trenches that will lead the storm
water into as many burrows as posi-
BILE. Soon little stream is pouring
down each small home and the inmate,
much disturbed, pops out to see what
the matter can be. Many of the ami
mails remain under ground until they
are drowned and their bodies float to
the surface.
After such a hunt, in which many
pounds of prairie dogs are generally
secured, there is a feast for many days
in the Navajo huts.

the statement of a medieval traveller

the citizens of AmaIfi founded about

pilgrims, was situated due south of the

the hospitality and the large library OF

rian says it was destroyed by the
khaiff Hakem and rebuilt shortly aft

account, it prospered down to the time
of King Baldwin of Jerusalem, from
100 to 111S. when the two communi-
ties of ST. Mary and ST. John adopted
the latter as their joint protector This
was the origin of the Knights of ST.
John. The remains now discovered,
therefore, are the ruins of the cradle
o. this order. 1t is most unfortunate
that the preservation of these very in
teresting remains seems impossible,
owing to the i'll feeling which exists
between the Greek and Roman Cath
olics in Jerusalem.-London Standard.

A glance at John had told her all she
