TEMPERANCE NOTES.

There are at the present time some
1898 Catholic Total Abstinence unions
in the United States, with membership
of S5,729.
In the great battle against intemper-,
ance and vice many Christians prefer a
toy-pistol to Krupp gun.-National
Advocate.
The New York Evening Post raises the
following pertinent question for the ad-
vocates of the canteen: IF beer close
at hand is really cure for too much beer
outside the barracks, why should we not
hear next of little gambling in the post
to cure the passion for great deal in
the civilian resorts?"
During the last 80 years. owing to
drink, Normandy in France has lost 147,-
900 of her people. During the same Pc
riod, the province of Orpe has lost II 900.
In the whole of France in the last so
years, while the consumption of alcohol
has increased $50 per cent, the popula-
ton has increased only IL per cent.
1t is estimated from study of CO.
operative statistics that there are over
10000 murders year in the United
States. From inquiries made in the
large cities, where the facts are more ac-
cessible, it is evident that over 70 per
cent. are committed by persons under
the influence of spirits at the time OF the
commission of the crime.

ABOUT ENGAGEMENTS.
II Girl Really Loves a Man She VIM
Wait for Him Patiently and
Without Doubt.

1t Is one thing to fall In love and an
other to propose marriage. Men may
be wise and cautious; they may have
most sensibly made up their minds that
1t would be neither right nor fair for
them to speak, and they may have def
nitely resolved not to say a word on
the subject of marriage till they have,
at least, prospect OF making a home
for wife.
Then there comes an accidental upset
TO their calculations-a word, look, a
blush, smile. All these fine reasonings
are thrown to the Winds they have
DIurted out the love they meant to keep
concealed till the correct moment of
aVowal came. Araminta has confessed
she reciprocates the devotion she is told
OF, and nothing remains but to ask
papa's consent, and visit a jewelers..
But then comes the side that is not
all rapture. At first, to be engaged is
enough to send any two adoring people
up into seventh heaven of bliss; but
by and by that ceases entirely to satisfy.
They would like to marry, to belong en-
tirely to each other; to set up house
Keeping, and know all the delights OF q
home which the other shares. The true
test OF love is not in the proposing and
accepting, neither is it in the buying
and wearing the ring; it is in the wait
ing with patience and indefinite time
for the fulfillment of a hope of which
the proposal and the engagement ring
were merely pledge
The question again and again arises:
How long is it reasonable for a man
to ask a girl to wait for him?" If it is
year, or even two, or three, he may
be justified; for, after all, there is a
definite end to the waiting, which draws
nearer every day. But if after five
years, say, the end looks no nearer-if
he is still just as unlikely to be able to
support wife-should he still expect
a girl to go on wasting the best years of
her life on his behalf?
If she really loves him, it will not mat
ter to her though she waited for him
20 years. 1t will be suca an utter i'm
possibility for her to think Of any other
man than himself that she will not feel
her chances in other directions are be-
ing spoiled, for if she may not marry
him, she would rather not marry any
one else while the world lasts. She will
count any waiting short and light that
has the hope of being his wife at the end
of it, and she will wait without de-
sire to be free. If she does, not love him
why, that is different matter, and she
had better not undertake at all waiting
which she will find intolerable.-Chi-
cago American.

FINGERS ROTTED BY BEER.
tenders Have Been Crippled by
the Liquor They Handled.

The Mail and Express gives the follow
ing significant facts: The attention of
the New York hospital surgeons has
been called to the big number of bartend-
ers that have lost several fingers of both
hands within the past few years. The
first case was that of an employee of a
Bowery concert hall. Three of the fin
gers OF his right hand and two of his left
were rotted away when he called at
Bellevue one day, and begged the doctors
to explain the reason. He said that his
duty was to draw beer for the thousands
who visited the garden nightly. The
man was in perfect health otherwise, and
it took the young doctors quite time to
arrive at any conclusion. But they did
finally, and it nearly took the german S
breath away when they did.
Your fingers have been rotted off"
they said, by the beer which you have
handled
Other cases of similar nature came
rapidly after this one, and to-day the
physicians estimate there is an army of
employees of saloons whose fingers are
being ruined by the same cause The
acid and resin in the beer are said to be
responsible.
The head bartender of a well-known
downtown saloon says he knows a num-
Der of cases where beer drawers have, in
addition to losing several fingers of both
hands, lost the use of both members.
Beer will rot iron, l believe" he
added. Il know, and every bartender
knows, that it is impossible to keep a
good pair of shoes behind the bar. Beer
will rot leather as rapidly, almost, as
acid will eat into iron. If were temper
ance orator, I'd ask: What must beer do
to mems stomach, if it eats away mems
fingers and their shoe leather? I'm here
to sell it, but won't drink it-not much.

THE DRUNkARD'S SOLILoouY.

Backward. turn backward. o Time, In
your flight,
And make me a man again, just for to-
night;
Let me shake off these vile rags that
wear,
Cleanse me from all this foul stain that
bear;
Oh let me stand where l stood long ago,
Freed from these sorrows, unknown to this
woe;
Freed from life that is cursing my soul
Unto death while the years of eternity roll.
Backward. turn backward, oh fast-fowing
stream,
Would that my life could prove only a
dream,
Let me forget the black sins of the past;
Let me undo all my folly so vast;
Let me live over the dark life that is gone;
Bring back the dark, wasted years that are
flown;
Backward, turn backward, o Time, in your
flight,
And make me man again, just for to-
night
Back! Yes. turn backward, we swift-roll-
ing years.
Why does your memory bring forth these
hot tears?
Why comes this vision of life lost in sin?
Why am l thinking of what might have
been?
Where is my home, once so happy and
bright?
Where is that face whose presence was
light?
Where are the children who climbed on my
knee?
Back. flowing tide! bring them once more
to me!
Yet the tide rushes on. this wild flight of the
years,
And the days only deepen my sorrows and
fears.
I call, but no answer comes back to me now,
Naught but an echo as weak as my vow.
For meath the sad cypress tree, low in the
sod,
Lies the body whose soul has gone back
to its God
And out of the silence no child voices come,
AS in days long ago in my sweet, happy
home.
Backward? Nay. Time rushes onward and
on;
IT'S the dream that comes back of the days
that are gone;
l yielded my strength when l could have
been strong;
/ would fly, but alas! 1 had fingered too
long.
The he'll hound had seized me-my will was
not mine,
Destruction was born in the sparkling of
wine!
So, in weakness, I totter through gloom to
the grave,
A sovereign in birth, but in dying-a slave

ALCOHOL AND DEATH RATE.
Accurate statistics Gathered by Swiss
Government Show Alarming
Condition.

Switzerland is a country in which
very little drunkenness is to be OBJ
served, for the good and sufficient rea-
son that the police arrest on the spot
every person who shows the least sign
of intoxication. There is nevertheless
large amount of secret drinking, and
especially in French Switzerland alb
slnthe has OF late increased in use until
Its ravages are very noticeable.
The government recognizes the drink
problem as most serious one, and is
dong all it can to find means for it's
control. One of it's recent investiga-
lions concerns the death rate from al
coholism. Statistics of this nature are
usually inaccurate, for the reason that
1t is often impossible to find out lust
to what extent a deceased person has
been given to the use of liquors Rela-
t1ves and even physicians conceal the
facts out of the natural desire to pro-
tect the dead mans good name. Two
years ago the Swiss government estab-
lished, however, a system under which
the facts can DE secured without re-
vealing the identity of individual
drunkards. Doctors are required to
make full reports, but on blanks that
bear numbers instead of names Only
by circuitous method involving appli-
cation to the central government at
Borne can names ever be connected
with the reports.
The facts thus collected show that
among the males over 20 years Of age
the deaths from delirium tremens aver
age half of one per cent. This is ten
times the rate officially recorded in
France by the old imperfect statistical
methods.
For males over 10 years of age alco-
hol is given as the principal or con-
comitant cause of death in Ten per cent.
of the cases.
The general death rate directly refer
able to acute or chronic alcoholism.
without including hepatic~cirrhosis or
other subsidiary conditions, is three
per cent
This showing must admittedly be re-
gar0ed as an alarming one. and as suf-
ficient justification for the most strenu-
GUS efforts in the cause of temperance
The worst Of it Is that there is no rea-
son to believe that the Switzerland
death rate would appear exceptionally
high if the real facts for other nations
were known.-Chlcago Record Herald

LEMON HAS MANY USES.
II Is Good for the stomach, the Throat.
the Hands, Finger Nails and
the Complexion.

The usefulness of the lemon begins in
the morning, even before you are out
of bed. The juice of half lemon
squeezed into a glass of water and drunk
unsweetened the first thing in the morn
ing is an excellent remedy for bilious
disorders.
If girls appreciated the lemons use
fulness as a beautitier, they would al
ways have one at hand The fingers or
finger nails may have stains that re-
fuse TO yield to soap and water, in which
case a little lemon juice will usually
prove successful. Before manicuring
the nails you should always soak them
water in which are few drops of lemon
juice. The skin which grows so Of
fensively around the nails is pushed
back by orange wood sticks first dipped
in lemon Juice; and as for the teeth, no
more effective cleanser or purer mouth
wash can be found than a half dozen
drops of lemon juice in wineglass of
water.
After washing the hands, lemon-juice
and water makes splendid bleach, but
one curious thing should be remembered.
Lemon juice pure darkens the skin, so
do not make the mistake of rubbing in
plain lemon-juice, instead of diluting it
with water.
Lemon juice and glycerine is good for
chapped hands. II you have hoarse
voice in the morning, lemon-juice,
squeezed on to soft sugar till it is like

added, relieves the hoarseness at once,
while cold on the chest, or consump-
ton itself. finds formidable enemy in
the following prescription:
Squeeze the juice of three lemons over
three whole eggs. shell and all. In two
or three days time the she'll will have
softened because of the effect of the
lemons acid on the lime composition of
the shell. Then add pint of rum and
a pound of pulverized brown sugar
candy. You can bottle this, and take
a spoonful every morning before ris-
ing. 1t is simply wonderful as tonic.

Railroads War on the Drinker

Railroads throughout the country are
waging war against the use of intoxicat-
ing liquors and tobacco by employees
who are engaged in operating the lines.
The fiat has gone forth generally that
employees who drink or frequent places
where liquors are sold are not safe to
intrust with the lives of patrons or
with the valuable property transported
by the railroads. The rules which have
recently been inaugurated against the
use of tobacco are not so stringent as
those against liquor, but generally they
prescribe tobacco while on duty and
when about stations. AS for the cigar
este, the order against it is almost as
severe as that against whisky. The rule
is being strictly enforced.-Journal OF

Hygienic Value of Fruit.

Hygienists all agree in telling US
that we do not eat sufficient fruit.
which is infinitely more productive of
health and beauty than candy and
pastry. Ripe apples are especially
healthy, and children may eat them
without danger. Some doctors say
that an apple at bedtime produces
sleep. Pears are more tasty than ap-
pies, but not so healthy unless cooked.
Prunes have medicinal qualities which
cannot be denied They are better
cooked, however. Apricots are also
more healthy cooked than raw.
Peaches are very healthy. The most
healthy of all fruit, however, are
grapes. Gooseberries and currants ara
best cooked. Figs are also excellent:
they were in great favor with ancient
Roman ladies, who always ate them
for breakfast. Pineapples are said TO
be the best cure for dyspepsia yet
known. Nuts of all kinds are indigest-
ible. Oranges are also excellent as a
cure for dyspepsia. Lemons produces
cheerfulness and prolong life.

The Nile Dam.

Sir Benjamin Baker, who built the
Nile dam, has just given out some new
figures concerning the dam and its con-
sequences. During the critical periods
for the crops-March to June-the sup
ply of water for irrigation was doubled
by the dam. The irrigation of rice, pro-
hibited in previous years, was allowed.
and the increase in value of land now
converted to irrigation is calculated at
over $25, 200, 900.
