The regular monthly meeting

The regular monthly meeting
of the Union was held Friday
afternoon at the home of Mrs.
Boyd, and the program was
very interesting. It was decid,
ed to have a live stirring
mothers meeting Thursday after
noon week at the home of Mrs
G.. II. Curtis.
The Union has just purchased
a new delightful little book,
entitled Temperance Songster'
and hope to assure fresh enthu.
siam in the music.
On Friday night the Loyal
Temperance legion entertained
most attractively an apprec!a.
tive crowd by a short program
which was brought to a close by
q temperance spelling contest.
The leaders of the opposing
sides were Misses Hattie Her
long and Ethel Corbett. The
certificate of championship was
awarded to the latter.
Is it possible that we have ir
South Carolina, mothers who
drink. We wonder and yet &
true story tells US of a temper
ance worker who found it to be
the sad fact in the home where
he was entertained. Even The
little children of the home were
forbidden to attend Temperance
meetings.

Splendors Of Cafes.

The cafes anG hotels Of New York
are rivaling each other in the almost
oriental splendor with which they have
fitted Up small rooms for dinner anu
after theater parties. At one cafe near
Broadway the sides Of one OF these
rooms are composed entirely OF MIR
,ors, after the French fashion, while
the ceiling is covered with green leaves
and grapes, punches Of pink and purple
grapes Of glass, within which are cleo
tric lights. The o. ,ct is that Of beau
tiful arbor. Anc cafe has mirrors
rejecting small red lights throughout
the room, while the ceiling, also Of
mirrors, is an exquisite imitation Of
moonlight, the effect Of which is OBJ
tanned by electrics inclosed in globes
Of the color and sheen Of moonlight
seen through o delicate tracery Of faint
green leaves.-Exchange.

Attest:
Lichtnina FIasheS-

Lightn;n: flashes in q storm are
found by an English observer to be
much less irregular in period than
they appear Such storms have usually
two foci, sometimes three, from which
the flashes radiate, and the discharges
from each come at regular intervals
The apparent irregularlty is due to the
varying rates of the different centers.
In one storm noticed the two foci were
about a mile and half apart, and In
an hour the northern center emitted
thirty flashes at intervals OF fifteen.
thirty, forty-fve, sixty and ninety Sec
onds, and the southern center gave
sixteen flashes at intervals Of seven
teen, thirty-four and ffty-one seconds.
Another unexplained observation Is
that just before each great fash there
is momeutary faint Lighting up Of the
sky in the stormy region.

Echo Verses.

Echo verses were sometimes USED
effectively for epigrams and squlos
Thus a critic once wrote:
I'd fain praise your poem But. tell me
how is it
When / cry out exquisite echo erie:
''quiz il?
And when in 1881 Paganini was
drawing crowds to the opera house al
extravagant prices the Times printed
the following lines:
What are they who pay three gulneas
To hear a tune Of Paganlnfs?
Echo-Pack o ninnies!

10 all men who think for themselves
the fundamental cause Of the astounding
decline In the stock market lies almost
entirely ih the extremely high rates de-
handed for loans Of money throughout
tho whole world.
Tho interest rates are higher in London,
Paris and Berlin than for a decade, and
tic price Of absolutely gllt-edgc bonds is
ljatn very low ebb. When investors could
loan their money at six or seven per
cent, secured by tho best collateral, thcy
naturally were unwilling to purchase
stocks that nettcd them only three or
| four pcr cent. Adverse public sentiment
FASTENED the downfall railroad secu-
rites, but tho measure Of the decline
was the money barometer and not tho

The Effect Of Alcohol.

The real effect OF alcohol OH tile
human body is a question which many
laymcn would DO glad for science to
determine. but it is q question upon
which the doctors seem to be hope
lcssly disagreed. "rhc alleged experts
clnc with some show Of disgust, "havc
produced a scientific scandal as bad
az the war of experts In our maloaor-
Gus court trials" The subject was
recently undor discussion at q meeting
or the British Medical Association, and
| I'LL sorts Of opinions were expressed
One expert declared that alcohol, when
properly used, was a blessing In DIS
ease, another that 1t was always O
curse. One said that it was AWAY s
depressing; another that 1t was stimu-
lating and supporting. Ono declared
1 lnat 1t should never be given TO por-
| sons affected with a weak heart, an
| other that ho had always given 1t, be-
cause he knew it saved life. '"rhis
whole subject" says our medical con-
| Temporary, lis ono OF the medicinal
scandals, and the profession owes 1t
IL itself to learn only facts and publish
1 only facts, and then come to unani-
i nous opinion. In no other branch
vi medicine arc there so many base
less opinions"

ton Is that wc have a mixture of
science and morality. The effect OF
