WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN

Some good speaker has said that Civilization will not be a success until the saloon is but a memory of what men once en dured.'
 So true. Think of a civilized community even tolerating, much less licensing this evil, when it is responsible for-shall 1 say -95 per cent of the poverty and squalor of said community?
 This is the statement given us a few days ago by a prominent physician who has done a good deal of charity work in a certain rum soaked city.
 Please consider what small per cent of poverty there would be but for drink. This 95 per cent of the ones thus afflicted would be helpers instead O nav ing to receive aims, big dinners and baskets by the Salvation Army and others cha ritably iE

CISAPpOlNTE ED.

In "Yesterday with the Fathers, Dr. William Wilberforce Newton gives an entertaining anecdote, con- cerning one of the Fathers" and all observant small girl.
 When preaching, the bishop had a peculiar habit of breathing in aiI like an organ bellows; and some times the whistling of his air-pipes could be heard by occupants of the pews near the pulpit.
 A little girl in Old Trinity church, becoming restless during the preach ing, asked her mother to let her go home. The mother refused, because she supposed that the bishop was ap- preaching the end of his discourse.
 After the third refusal from her mother, who whispered that the bishop would not like to see little girl go out of church while he was preaching and that he was almost done now, the child answered in q high falsetto:
 "No, mother, he is not going to stop. I thought so now for three times, but he has gone and blowed himself up again. ."-Youth's Com panion.

There are seventeen of them. They

Chiefs Daughter Marries Chinese Sail
or She Rescued From Death, and
Now They Are Living In San
Francisco.

Nashyille.-Under date line of Wash
ington. ID. c., Mrs. L. NJ Cheshire con-
tributes the following unique story to
the Nashville Banner:
"Pocahontas has been outdone by
an Alaskan maiden. John Smith was
only in danger OF having his brains
spattered over the surrounding real
estate when Pocahontas rescued him
with her love. The John Smith of
Alaska was not only in danger of be-
Ing killed, but of being eaten when
the women in whose eyes he had
found favor saved him.
The Alaskan John Smith was not a
titled explorer when he fell into the
hands of savages, nor was his name
John Smith. He was only a common
yellow-skinned sea cook. His name is
All Wing. and there is nothing attrac-
tive about him. He is about as home
ly mixture of Chinaman and Malay
pirate as could be found in a days
walk. His Pocahontas answers to the
name of julie now, but nobody knows
what her Indian name was. She is a
long way Of being Pocahontas' equal
In beauty, and the Siwash features of
generations were consolidated when
her face was made.
All Wing some nine years ago was
cook In the employ of the navy de-
partment and was shipped north on
the jamestown. While on the Sitka
station Wings time expired, or he de-
serted-just which is not quite plain
and he shipped aboard whaler. The
whaler was wrecked and Wing was
cast upon an inhospitable ice foe.
Julie was the daughter of chief of
tribe OF Indians, and while hunting
with her father discovered All Wing.

horrid truth dawned upon him-at

barbecue and eat him.

was inspired by the sight OF Julia in

Milk watts made OF slate or metal

Among the men who have been
phenomenally successful on the farm
those who have followed dairying
stand out prominently.
II you have neglected TO do so, re-

and see to it that the colts have their
feet in condition for the winter.
The herd can be made to yield

careful breeding. This is a condition
that cannot be influenced by feed.
In every 100 pounds of milk there
