BETTER OFF WITHOUT THEM.
Intoxicants Are Falling Into Disuse in
London Asylums.

The records of the London County
asylums show that in the treatment
of insanity the use of intoxicants has
been almost abolished A table is
given showing the quantities of spir
its, wine and malt liquors consumed
by both patients and staff of the Lon
don County asylums for the year 1889
and the year ending 1906. In 1889
four asylums with a population of
S.107, used 1902 gallons of spirits and
wine, and 255,4S6 gallons of beer. In
the latter year the number of, asylums
was nine: the asylum population had
increased to 19,457; the liquor con-
sumed was. spirits and vine, $50 gal
Ions; beer, 1881 gallons.
Thoughtful perusal of such facts
will show that the temperance and
prohibition movement is not only in
the interest of moral and social
progress, but is In harmony with the
latest conclusions of scientific
thought, and that even as a drug, al
coholic liquors are being discarded by
the men who are giving most study
and thought to their character and eff
fects.

A FALSE
LOVER
BY l.. t. MEADE
(Copyright.)

My name is Rosamund Fairlight,
and l live with an aunt, who has
brought me up since was five years
of age.
Now, when this story opens, Aunt
Mercy was about SO years of age, and
/ was 10. was about to appear at
my coming-out party, and very excited
/ was in consequence. Just the day
before the party she said | might wear
her pearls She showed them to me,
and said they were of almost fabulous
value and could with difficulty be
matched by any jeweler in New
York. She further told me that she
meant to leave them to me in her
will.
Besides the pearls she had many
other jewels, which she said she
would show to me by and by; but the
string of pearls, which | was to wear
on this suspicious occasion, were in
themselves of so dazzling an order
that | gave no thought TO anything
beyond them.
1t was at my first dance that | met
Mr.. Frank Joseelyn. He was
stranger in our town, and we girls
were very much taken with his APP
pearance for he was tall and dark,
and had fascinating, semi-foreign
way about him The moment he en-
tered the dancing-room | saw his eyes
light upon me. and very soon after
wards he begged for an introduction

which | gave him, and finally he
danced two or three extras also with
me; and before the evening was over
| had told him about the pearls, and
how precious Aunt Mercy considered
them.
Il can quite believe IT," he said in a
gentle voice; and then he added,
bending towards me, but they're not
nearly as beautiful as the person who
wears them"
That first meeting is an old story
now, and | must hurry on to what
followed
Mr.. Joseelyn called at Aunt Merey's
house on the following day, and had
a long chat with her. He told her
quite boldly that he was a relation
and he proved this both to her salts
faction and mine. lie was the son Of
a cousin Of hers-who had also been
her best friend-who had married and
gone to South Africa many years ago.
After this there was no reason for
Aunt Mercy or me to be reserved with
Frank Joscelyn. She called him by
his Christian name, and invited him
TO come and stay with us. As for me.
| must honestly confess that | lost
my heart to him
| liked him very much indeed: and
one day, when we had known each
other for couple of months-he was
still staying on with Aunt Mercy. al
though he fully intended going back
to johannesburg in the autumn-he
asked me again if it was true that my
aunt meant some day TO leave me her
pearls.
Yes, she has said So" | replied.

The next day Frank made curious
request.
Did not Aunt Mercy promise to
leave you all her jewels, Rose?"
Yes | replied, slightly knitting
my brows. THAT is, after her death"
''But the old lady has no use for

now was to go straight to Aunt Mercy,
and sit down by her side, and boldly
make his request She told me aft
erward all about it. She said she
was amazed and at first annoyed, but
WIS firm in her refusal.
We were to be married in about six
weeks, and that time was by no means
too long, as Aunt Mercy said, to get
a suitable trousseau and to put every
thing in readiness for the marriage.
About two weeks before our we'd
ding was to occur Frank suggested
to me that Aunt Mercy should give a
small dinner-party few days before
the wedding.

is progressing along Industrial and

Lumber Company, near Lake Park,
is nearing completion, while Mr.. J.
Francis Small will soon begin the
erection of a mammoth sawmiH near
the site OF the old Symons mill, just
across the Tombigbee river.
The legislature at its recent ses-
sion gave the Industrial Institute and
College d generous appropriation,
and a considerable sum is to be ex-
pended during the coming summer in
repairing the old buildings and erect
ing new structures. The sum OF
S17. 500 was appropriated for re-
pairs on the dormitories, and the
buildings are to be thoroughly over
hauled and put in first-class condi-
ton. A library and a gymnasium
are to be built and the sum of $500
is to be expended in the erection of
a tank. So, it will be seen that there
will be considerable work for con
tractors and carpenters during the
next few months and business is like
ly to be good.
