that the beverage was doing me all this
harm. But it was, and the time came
when l had to face the fact, and pro-

Childish Inference.

Little Julia was taking her after.
noon walk with her mother. Her at.
tention was attracted for the first time
to large church edifice on one of the
street corners.
"Oh, mother," she exclaimed,
whose nice big house is that?"
THAT, Julia, is Gods house." ex.
planned the mother.
Some time later it happened that
the child was again taken by the
church, this time on Sunday evening
when services were in progress.
Julia, noticing the brilliantly lighted
windows, drew her own conclusions.
"Oh, look, mother" she called out,

Wines for Royalty.

Sherry is a wine that has almost

sold large quantity OF sherry that
had been laid down in the royal cell
lars many years before his accession,
and since the sale of sherry has quite
fallen out from the list of fashion
able wines in England. His majesty
knew what he was about. He had
reached the age when light wines are
advisable. for health's sake. and he
neither wished to oblige himself nor
his guests to partake of even the
smoothest, mellowest sherry. Among
some facts concerning the wines
