Keep the grass!

Drinking Among Women.

From the New York World.
The assertion of the secretary OF Bos-
ton woman's club that "the women of New
York drink great DEAL chimes in with
general observation of practice which is
undeniably on the increase Miss Kingsby
coming from Kentucky, where she did not
see one of her sex using liquor, noticed in
q fashionable restaurant here that nearly
every woman was drinking" In other res
taurants she could have seen the same
sight. Feminine indulgence in stimulants in
public has become SO much of habit that
1t passes unchallenged by criticism.
The spread of the habit to women of the
supporting class was the subject of
Father Shanleys warning talk to the Ve-
ronica League. The vice is made all the
more alluring for having the stamp Of
fashion" Socetys approval encourages
1t, the family liquor store facilitates 1t, un-
til the tendency to indulgence has come to
arouse apprehension. The immediate de-
NAL of the report that the Woman's Hotel
was to have bar Is not SO important as
the fact that the report could be credited
as not Improbable. ~
The relaxation of old restraints fn,s the
use of stimuiants by women, though view
ed at first with indulgent tolerance, must
now be regarded az having gone to unwise
lengths.

ing reciprocal arrangements with the other
oriental producers OF these two products
with view Of cutting out the importation
OF the sugar and tobacco Of the Philippines
into Japan.
There was one more question which
made bold to ask, although l felt delicacy
In so doing. Did Japan still desire to ac-
quire the Philippines?
There We a time," said Baron Komura,
when Japan felt that she must acquire the
Philippine Islands, not only to prevent their
falling into the hands of her enemies. but
also to supply place where the raw mate
rial for manufacturing in Japan could be
raised and place where the surplus Jap
anese population could go. But that view
has passed. With the Philippine Islands
under the control of the United States Ja-
pan has friend at her doors and her fac
tories can be supplied with all the COM
mercial products necessary to her without
the expense of governing the islands or
defending them in time of war. The United
States and Japan could never be competitors
in the orient SO Japan would rather have
the United States govern the Philippine
Islands than do SO herself"
In parting / asked Baron Komura II un-
officially he thought it possible for an
arrangement to be entered into between
the United States and Japan whereby the
products of the Philippines could find a
profitable market in Japan. and he an
Swered that i. was his opinion that If such

LAST OF NOTED LONDON CHURCH.
Where DR.. Pigou Preached and British
Princes Worshiped.
From the London Mail.

ptom Tie 4<ohuoH MILL
Passing up Waterloo place, on the left
hand side, as one enters Lower Regent
street. stands dull red building of Corin-
THAN architecture; on the walls is notice
to the effect that the last service will be
held on Sunday next, when the sermon will
be preached by DR.. Pigou Dean of Bristol.
That is st. Philips Built eighty-four years
ago as a chapel of ease to ST. James
Church. st. Philips has sadly fallen from
its high estate. At one time 1,50O persons
crowded its portals to listen to eloquent ser
mons from its then vicar, now Dean Pigou.
Some of the highest personages in the land
regularly attended divine service there.
But for many years past the sole congre-
cation has consisted of half a dozen per-
sons. 1t is for this reason that the church
is to be pulled down and the land sold. "All
the rich folks who used to live in Carlton
House Terrace and round there seem to
have gone away or else do not go to church
any longer, complains the old caretaker
who has watched the congregation dwin-
ding for twenty years. ST. Philips has no
parish and no endowment, depending en-
tirely on its pew rents. These at the apo
gee of its prosperity amounted to fl 200 a
year. Now they are absolutely nil.
When brilliant preachers like Canon Rep
ton and Canon Pigou were vicar, large and
fashionable congregations flocked to hear
them. At one time on Sunday morning
the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Meek
lenberg Stralitz, Princess Mary of Teck, the
Duke of Marlborough, Lords Derby and
Elcho Mr.. Gladstone and many other nota-
bilities could all be seen in the pews One
delightful old character was Admiral Boyle.
Having listened to the account of St Paurs
shipwreck he waited outside the church for
DIR. Pigou.

that IL a captain in her majesty's service
had handled his ship as that man did he
would have been court-martialed the same
day, and dismissed the service
Many tradesmen, attracted by the fash
ionable gathering, attended the church. One
of them wine merchant, seeing that Lord
Derby suffered much from gout, wrote to
him and recommended a certain brand Of

The Long-Suffering Guest.

Suggestions are frequently made dealing
with the methods whereby hosts and host
esses may make life pleasant to the average
visitor while under their roof. But the dis
comfort and worry to which the guests.

hands of servants Is never mentioned.
From the moment the guest Chose who
bring their own maid or valet being, of
course, exempt from the state of things
new to be described) arrives, the house,
maid in the case of ladies and the footman
in that of gentlemen consider it their
province thoroughly to overhaul every
thing they bring with them. So any trunk
or bag which is not securely locked is at
once turned OUT and the contents dis
tributed haphazard through the wardrobes
and drawers, thereby entailing long and
wearisome search on the part Of the owner.
who, having packed the things as they
were likely to be required. could have laid
his Tor her) hand upon them at once had
they only been left alone.
Any servant who is expected to attend on
visitors should be told by his employer as
an uninfringeable rule that be is never to
open any box or bag belonging to guest
without first inquiring whether the latter
wishes him to do SO. And it should also be
strictly laid down that any opening Of
drawers and wardrobes in VISITORS room
Is an impertinence and must on no account
be indulged in unless by special request.
