THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF lNTEMPERANCE:

The Cash Value of Sobriety-Good Service
Derendn Upon Steady Habits, the
Railways Are Finding Out - Nom
Drinkers Get to the front Quickest. 10
OF interest in connection with the ac-
tion of Emperor William regarding his
chaufeurs, is this editorial from o
late issue of the Cincinnati Post:
The Chicago and Alton Railroad
Company, in rules recently issued for
its employees. forbids men in its en-
ploy to visit saloons, race tracks, dance
halls OF any other resorts where liquor
is sold or gambling permitted.
The company makes no pretense of
carrying on moral crusade. 1t simply
strikes to live up to business princi-
pies, which depend upon the compe-
tency and reliability Of its men.
Good service, it holds. depends upon
steady habits, and both help insure
public safety.
"All the things which are prohibited"
says General Passenger Agent Charl-
ton, "either tend or might tend per-
manently or temporarily impair q
mans mental and physical powers"
This puts the question Of temperance
and steady habits upon basis where
even the most benighted morally can
clearly understand it and see that
there is but one practical side to it.
The man who will not harken to
moral appeal is apt to lay great stress
upon his regard for the practical. He
doesn't care for entiment-gush, he
calls it; he must have hard fact.
Well, here he gets just what he
wants. The hard fact is that be must
be sober and steady or give up a job
where sobriety and steadiness are es-
sential qualities.
And wherever he turns nowadays he
finds the same hard fact staring him
in the face. In all lines of paying en-
ployment sobriety and .steadiness are
becoming more and more rigidly re.
Quired.
Time was in this country when it's
boundless natural resources offered un.
limited employment TO unskilled and
irresponsible men: Then men might
disable themselves by drink and un-
steady habits. and still! get on in a way.
But times and conditions have changed
marvelously.
To-day competition is strong. and the
fttest get to the front and the unfit
fall to the rear. Big employers are
forced to exercise great care in the
selection of men for all grades of work
above that Of common labor. Success
requires able and reliable employees.
1t is not matter of sentiment. 1t is
not question of abstract morality.
It is matter Of business.

A Wild Calf.

An odd story comes from Great ISL
and. Me. Last fall calf belonging
to Frank Stevens strayed away. and,
although efforts were made to find it,
it could not be located. Recently.
however soma gunners who were out
hunting saw the lons-lost calf in com.
pany with q deer, and since that time
the two have been seen together on
several occasions. sometimes the calf
being with several deer. 1t is evident
that the little animal has been adopt.
ed by the deer Of Great Island. and
has now become one of their number.
1t has become as shy as deer.

In Mending Gloves.

In mending gloves look for even the
tiniest holes, which n!&y grow larger
lf not attended to at once. Mend the
holes from the inside Of the glove,
using cotton tie coior of the kid. Silk
thread wears out too soon. Always
cut the thread-never break it-and
use a sharp needle in order not to
npke too large q hole in the kid.

WHERE DANGER LURKS.

The rnazy dance, with 'fatuating whirl,
Unmindful all Of honor and of right,
Allures the unsuspecting, Trusting girl,
To leave upon her life its withering blight.
The gaming board, with fascinating power,
Ensnaring now the youths unwary heart,
Leads on, till in a bitter, fatal hour. =
1t works destruction with its poisoned dart.
The race, the cup, and evil intercourse
These follow mad1y, growing swift apace,
Till, overwhelmed by sins resistless force,
The life, once fair, lies blackened in dis
grace.
Oh youth, oh maiden, keep your hearts
from sin!
I pray you shun its deadly, venomed
breath,
Lest these betrayers, boldly entering in,
Enchain your souls in misery and death:

Fancies of the Hour.

For long neck pretty collar may be made by gathering an inch-wide lace upon a very narrow band of white Swiss On the other side of the band a frill of narrower lace is sewn, and the Swiss band is then covered by a fancy beading, through which is run a band of black velvet ribbon.
 This collar may have cuffs to match and, if it has, is all the prettier. There are a thausand and one ways of mak- ing these attractive neck fnishings, and no limit to the materials which may be used, with the only proviso that they may be washable.
 Tubbable clothing of all sorts is a fad of the day, and wise one it is, for it insures a freshness in ones clothing that used to be enjoyed only in the heat of summer-Chicago Inter Ocean.

SHOULD EAT SOUP DAILY.
Americans Do Not Pay So Much At tention to This Course as
 They Should.

Celery Soup.-Well wash and mince finely, or grate, two large heads of eel cry. using the white parts only. Boil this in a quart of milk, adding in gradually three or four ounces of rice Let this cook all together very slowly till tender, when you sieve it, grad ually diluting it with good white stock till of the consistency required; sea son to taste with white pepper and salt and stir in at the last spoonful of rich cream.
 Haricot Soup.-Well wash a pint of beans, removing all the float or those that are damaged then add these beans to three pints of cold water, with tea spoonful of salt, and, if liked small onion and sliced carrot, with eight or ten peppercorns. Bring this to the boil, then let it cook gently for half an hour, when you stop the boil by pouring in about half a teacupful ot cold water Let it all simmer again and repeat this watering every half hour or so till the beans are tender enough to sieve. Cit is impossible tc give a time for this. as it depends en tirely on the age of the beans.) Now sieve the beans through hair sieve diluting them as you do so with white stock (either meat or vegetable) till you get it to the consistency required Let this all boil up together again, re- moving any scum that rises, and just before serving stir ill either an ounce of butter or three or four tablespoon fuls of thick cream. Serve with cro- tons of fried bread Remember these should never be smaller than tiorin piece; the tiny dice so often served with thick soups harden to rock and become absolutely indigestible). Len tils, tlageolets and peas may all be cooked by this recipe, but for the last you will find it best to use the dried Italian green peas" adding a handful of spinach to improve the color. Fail. ing this, two or three drops of Mrs A. B. Marshall's green vegetable color ing should be stirred in at the last with the cream.-Madame.

Unhappy is the houSekeeper Wnu = .alIen into culinary rut. She does\ always belong to that class who mAa, count every penny spent upon her taDl\V More often she is one of those womeA whose household allowance is neitherY very small nor very large. She is not forced to devise new dishes from eco nomical materials, nor can she indulge 1 in epicurean feasts. Therefore her task of planning meals is apt to lack zest for. herself. whereas if she would occasionaI- I ly embark upon a astronomical voyage of adventure, the result would be stim- ulating to her own interest arid emi- nently pleasing when the family circle gathers around the dinner table.
 For instance, many women who think that sweet potatoes boiled or baked are sufficient variant on the Irish or white potato, will find that they lend them selves to many other tasty dishes, nota- bly, the recipes used by southern house. keepers.
 For a breakfast dish of entree at din- ner they make a delicious scallop. Take potatoes that have been boiled or steamed until tender, and when cold slice moderately thin Put layer about an inch thick in the bottom of a shal- low pudding dish. Sprinkle with butter and white sugar, add another layer of potatoes, then butter land sugar again. Continue until the dish| is filled. Scatter butter and sugar oveT the top and pour over the potatoes just enough boiling water to keep them fYom burning. Cook half an hour in mdderate oven, or un- til the potatoes lodk transparent and are delicately brownfd. The sugar may be omitted and seasoning of salt and pepper used. Shou1f the potatoes be- come dry, haste with melted butter. Those who do not life too much butter will prefer this dish if half cupful of melted butter is mixed with boiling wa ter, and used to baste the vegetable.
 Another way of serving the tuber is suited to dinner, luncheon or supper. Cut the cold potatoeA into slices a little more than an inch thick.

Longest Span Bridge.

There is now under constitution across
the St. Lawrence at Quebec cantilever
bridge which, when completed, will con-
tain the longest span Of any bridge yet
erected, not even excluding the great can't
levers of the Forth Bridge in Scotland
The structure consists of two approach
spans of 210 feet each, two shore arms,
each 500 feet in length, and great cen
trail span 1900 feet in length,
The total length of the bridge is 1920
feet, although in extreme dimensions it
does not compare with the Firth of Forth
Bridge, which is about one mile in total
length, it has the distinction of having the
longest span in the world by 80 feet, the
two cantilevers of the Forth Bridge being
each l710 feet in length.

Prisons of Silence.

Entombed in grim castle On the out
skirts Of Lisbon are some of the most miser-
able men on earth. These are the inmates
Of Portugars deadly prisons of silence.
In this building everything that human
ingenuity can suggest to render the lives of
its prisoners a horrible, maddening torture
is done. The corridors, piled tier on tier
FIVE stories high, extend from common
center like the spokes of a huge wheel.
The cells are narrow, tomblike, and within
each stands coffin The prison garb is a
shroud. The attendants creep about in
felt slippers. No one is allowed TO utter a
word The doors are unlocked, and the
half thousand wretches march out, clothed
in shrouds and with faces covered by masks,
for it is a part of this hideous punishment
that meme may look upon the eountenances
Of his fellow prisoners. Few of them en-
dure this torture for more than ten years
