With this menace crouching at the
door II every daughter, wife and
mother, | read in one of the articles
few days ago a luke-warm advo-
cacy OF prohibition, in which the con-
veniences of the toilets for men and
the advantageous results to mer-
chants while the drummer drank his
glass of beer with prospective GUS
toner over the bar, were actually
made to counterbalance the signs and
groans of the thousands of women
ard children who were starved, beat
en-, murdered and outraged by means
of the saloons.
Toilet conveniences for men and
trade for merchants against the souls
of Gods innocent creatures!
The druggist who sells poison is
made to enter the name and address
of the purchaser in a book. If the
purchaser dies the name of the drug
gist is given an unpleasant notoriety
This very notoriety makes both the
would-be suicide and the druggist
hesitate. 1t takes time to make these
entries, true, but if the poison could
be easily purchased, no precautions
taken, there would be an increase in
the number of suicides that would ap-
pail the world.
If man drinks liquor until he is
maddened and murders his child, tears
out the eyes of his wife and goes to
the electric chair, the hand that sold
that fatal draught is unknown and
unrebuked. The wife has no redress,
the little child, perhaps, cannot be
buried, yet the toilet conveniences are
necessary and admirable. 1t would
cost the city less to put these con-
veniences at regular intervals on the
thoroughfares, as in Paris, than to
prosecute the drunkard for his
crimes.
There is forced vaccination for the
public good, despite individual pro-
test. The names of all the children
in the public school are registered
and if they are not vaccinated, they
cannot receive educational advan-
tages. These books are inspected
every week, and the child not COM
plying with these regulations is vac
cinated by force. If there can be
compulsory laws for the public good
in one thing, why not in another?
1t is claimed that individual freedom
cannot be interfered with. What

THE MAKING OF LACE.
4 Few Useful Hints for Those Who
Are Interested in This Truly
Delightful Occupation.

In making the lace great care should
be taken to avoid cutting the braids.
Lace designers plan their patterns as
far as possible to have a continuation
of the braid extending to point where
the break will not show. The worker,
by taking a pencil before starting the
pattern and tracing from the starting
point to where the braid ends, will find
it less confusing when the work is
started. This, also, places the pattern
in the workers mind. If the braid is
not sufficient to reach the desired
point, end it at the base of a flower
or leaf, rather than midway in the pat
tern, where piecing will be discernible.
1t is better to lose a few inches of
braid than ruin an entire collar or
bolero by piecing. In starting the
work or fastening the threads it must
be remembered all lace must be free
from knots. Carry the thread by a
blind stitch or two through the braid
to the desired starting point; here take
tiny buttonhole stitch, which will
make the loosening of the threads an
impOssibility. This same rule applies
to finished work. Always leave enough
thread in your needle to catch two or
three stitches with its finishing but
tonhole accompaniment. Never in lace
making stint yourself as to thread, as
nothing ruins lace work so much as
to be drawn, puckered or gathered.
The design of the pattern should stand
out from the background; therefore
this part of the work is heavy, or the
more solid stitches, while the back
ground has an open stitch, cobwebs,
net and broken bars.-Pilgrim.

that Mrs. Mitchell was born and for

The Power of Purity.

1t is a marvellous thing to see how a
pure and innocent heart purifes all
that it approaches The most fero-
cious natures are soc thed and tanned by
innocence. There is delicacy so pure
that vicious men in its presence be-
come almost pure; all of purity which
itself to like. The pure heart becomes
a center of attraction, round which
similar atoms gather, and from which
dissimilar ones are repealed. A cor
rupt heart ELECTS all that is bad in us;
a spiritual one brings out and draws to
itself all that is best and purest.

CATCHING Fish With Mirror..

In France novel method Of catch
ing fish is being tested .. anglers. A
tiny mirror Is attached to the line near
the baited hook. The assumption is
that fish, when 1t sees itself in the
mirror, will conclude that some other
fish is trying to carry off the bait. and
will make haste to secure the tempt
ing morsel for itself, the result being
that 1t will speedily be caught on the
relentless hook. From experiments
which have been made there seems
to be some foundation for this as.
sumption. At any rate, some anglers
say that they catch more fish when
they use the little mirror than they
ever caught before.
