CHAMBERLAIN AT WORK.

British Statesman Ks Always Busy
 and Works Far IntO tiae Might
 Apart from his occasional attention to gardening MT. Joseph Chamberlain. the ex-colonial secretary of England, is probably as busy when at Highbury as during his Heaviest official work, says E. A. Acland in the BookIovers' Maga- zine. His correspondence and public duties have rather increased than cth- erw1se with his relinquishment of off, cial life. Two hundred letters on an average are received by him each day. All are read and answered personally with the aid of a private secretary and competent shorthand writers. This cor respondence has to be dealt with most carefully, for artful opponents are for ever laying cunning traps for the Bir- mingham statesman, and too faithful friends are but little less troublesome with their suggestions and conun- drums.
 The house is beset with newspaper corresponden with whom MT. Cham berlain is always popular. He talks freely with them and fully appreciates the power and influence of the press, yet no correspondent has ever extracted 2 secret from him. He works far into the night, parliamentary life having accustomed him to late hours. Three in the morning often finds him still at his desk. His speeches are carefully pre- pared and are privately declaimed to his secretary the day before delivery, the statesman meanwhile smoking a brier pipe or fat, black cigar.

A New Enemy of Rum.

The Shawnee News gives novel remedy for the drink habit" or, rath- CT, for enabling those who have sworn off' to remain lon the water cart.' It consists of ice water drank through 8 raw potato. Peel the potato and cut down one end of it until 1t can be easi- ly inserted in the mouth. Dip the po- tato in water and suck it every time a craving for strong drink comes on. It is claimed that this treatment will effect an absolute cure, says the Kan. sas City Journal. The why and where fore are not stated, but the process is such a simple one that there can be no harm in trying it if any one is affiict. cd with thirst which he really desires to lose

THE GOSPEL OF EPlcuRus.

President Hyde of Bovvdoin College Urges Merit of Its Teachings.
 President Hyde of Bowdoin college addressed the Twentieth Century club at Boston the other day on 4Epicurean- ism" and condemned the life wasted by low aim and luxurious living. He asked:
 Have we ever stopped to think how much there is in epicureanism which we not only might but which we ought to adopt? Epicureanism is essentially gospel, not only pleasure, but also of play, and most of our games are the means of relief work, which Epicurus sanctions. The man who goes on work ing without giving considerable peri cd of play is selling his great birth right of personality for mess of com mercial pottage.
 Ion the other hand, the doctrine is not without it's shortcomings, and the lectures to come will show us that there are sterner, broader, deeper standards of living than those of Epicurus. With out the background of devotion to do mestic and natural life epicureanism is only parasite on the complete indi- vidual and social life"
