Good and Bad Whisky.

The best American whisky contains
an average Of 43 per cent. of alcohol;
the cheaper grades an average of 35
per cent. The common whisky is
therefore less harmful than the expen-
sive kind. The strongest of all alco-
holic drinks is rum, which is 40 to so
per cent alcohol, and of which there
were produced in the United States in
1905, 1871, 1857 gallons.

MY BROTHERS. KEEPER.
How One Little Girl Exerted a Strong
Influence for Good.

Have you received the invitation
to my Dvtrty?"
Yes; the postman brought 1t this
noon. They are very pretty invita-
tions, but what do those two queer
looking letters in the corner mean?"
THAT is my secret for the girls to
guess; but if you will promise never
to tell-not even one girl will tell
youi"

1T means Temperance Party. am
not going to have anything to drink
or eat that has alcohol in it,"
And you have invited Cora Brown,
Annie Clifton, and Barbara Ross; you
know every one of those girls have
wine on their tables every day! What
will they think of a party without
wine or punch?"
They need not come again if they
do not enjoy this one; but l think
there is no danger of their not enjoy
ing themselves at my r. P party! |
am going to have the most delicious
lemonade made of oranges, lemons
pineapple and apollinaris water-far
better than wine or punch! Anyway
| have made up my mind shall
never, as long as l live, have anything
at my parties that may harm others
mo branded candies or cake, sup.
pose, will be allowed"
mo indeed; mother is going to
make part of the candy and cake and
we shall buy only those kinds which
we know are free from liquors. The
caterer has been warned and he is to
use fresh strawberries in making the
cream. Then we are to have the dear
est little cakes iced with white, and
my own initials on the top of each in
red candy letters-I can hardly wait
for the day to COME"
But | do not see what harm there
would be in having punch or even
cider"
There is alcohol in them. And
mother says when you drink alcohol
1t creates thirst (as it burns up the
liquids in the body and more alcohol
is demanded), and the habit of drink
ing is easily formed"
Il believe you are right in refusing
to have any harmful drink; if anyone

Mother told me about a boy who went
to q party where they had wine; he
i. had never tasted it before; but he
liked it so much he drank it every
chance he had till he became drunk
ard. How can the girl who gave him
that first glass, at her birthday party,
ever forgive herself"
Just the other day | heard a young
lady ask young man TO smoke"
That is another thing I am never
going to do, when | am grown up, to
ask man to smoke; or encourage
him to do so Mother says we are our

Children to Let.

Quite fourishing trade is done by
the poorer classes of Madrid, who let
out their children to beggars at so
much per hour. The intending hirer
applies to the parents of likely child,
the price is agreed upon, small
amount paid down as guarantee for
the return Of the little one, and the
beggar forthwith sets out with his hui
man implement of trade to implore the
public charity. The children whose
task it is to soften the hearts of the
passersby are required to possess
special qualifications. They must have
hungry looking faces, be first rate
criers and not very ugly, for a good
looking child is more likely to earn
extra pennies on account Of it's pretty
face than a less favored competition

Italian Regard Fer Animals.

On the occasion | was u passenger

At Salo peasant of Il peculiarly tru-
culent type came on board. clad in the
shaggy cloak ofNthe district and bear
ing a vast blue umbrella no less indig-
enous. With him. too. he brought his
donkey. Now, even Italian steamers
do not knowingly admit quadrupeds Of
this size to the shelter of the fore
cabin. though possibly if they did no
great harm would be done or senti-
ment violated. The beast. therefore,
was tethered on the open deck and
thus became exposed to the fury Of
wind and weather, not to mention the
wave. A British peasant would prob
ably have accepted the situation and
let him bide. Not so the Lombard.
Hastily divesting himself of his ample
Overcoat. he spread it carefully over

ing his voluminous umbrella, held that
patiently over the asinine head-and

The oriqin of the Word FiIibuster.

The name "buccaneer" was chiefly
affected by the English adventures on
our coast. while the French members
of the profession often preferred the
name of "fiibustier." This word, which
has since been corrupted into our ia
miliar ''filibuster," is said to have been
originally a corruption, being nothing
more than the French method of pro-
nOuncing the word ''freebooters, :"
which title had long been used for in
dependent robbers.
