means of mitigating the heat has
been tried in vain. Ice melts before

Fitting the House to the Carpet

Among the many ideas which the
Japanese have copied from western
customs and remodeled to suit them
selves is the covering of their floors
with a special kind of mating. The
standard size of mat is by yards.
The custom of using these mats is SO
general that when building the Jap
anese architect arranges the size Of the
rooms to fit the mats, and when rent
ing q house the size of a room is stated
as requiring one, two or three mats, as
the case may be.

Acting Versus Drawing.

To a group of friends Ellen Terry
once said: "Acting is not like drawing.
You make a line. If it is wrong, you
rub it out at once and make another.
With acting that is impossible. There
is no altering-it must stand. l often
feel as if I must cry to the audience,
oh, that is wrong, not as 1 meant it to
be; let me act that part or sentence
over again."

The late Joseph Cook, the great
Boston lecturer, in one of his lee
lures on the evils of alcohol on the
brain said: THE house founded by
Daniel Webster has become extinct.
He himself was a moderate drinker.
His son was a drunkard, and with
his grandson the love of drink was
an insanity and he fell before he
had passed his thirtieth year. l
know a superb preacher who always
kept wine on his table and justified
its use. His son went to an insane
asylum. The deceased corpuscles
were transmitted from father to
son." These words of warming
from the great Boston preacher and
lecturer should strike the souls of
Notwithstanding fathers like a
thunder clap and awaken their dead
ened conscience. 1t is the moderate
drinker that furnishes the recruits
for the army of drunkards. If every
drunkard in the United States were
to die to-day, in less than ten years
there would be as many drunkards
as there are now. Where do they
come from? Not from the total abb
stainers. Where then? From the
ranks of the moderate drinker. Of
one million moderate drinkers to-
day, more than 100000 will be in
drunkards' graves in less than
twenty years, and some will go by
way of the prison and the scaffold.
In the face of these incontrovertib1e
facts and in the light of universal
observation and the sad and sorrow
full experience of all who have in
dulged the appetite for strong drink,
what shall we say of the father who
continues his course of madness
and folly and heedless1y places the
wine and beer bottle on the dining
room table to tempt his children?
It is nothing short of megalomania.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that Or. Kil1ner's Swamp,
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and TO get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect Of Swanlp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

child here tonight: Throw strong
drink aside as you would an ounce
of liquid hell. 1t sears the consci-
ence, it destroys everything it
touches. 1t reaches into the family
circle and takes the wife you had
sworn to protect and drags her
down from her purity into that
house from which no decent woman
ever goes alive. 1t induces the
father to take the furniture from his
house, exchange it for money at the
pawnshop and spend the proceeds
in rum. 1t damns everything it
