Tho other day while a noted .goctafroi lecturer was addressing a crowd of labor ing men, a number of private carriages nassod. Pointing to tho carriages the lec turer said: “Aye, workingmen, look there! Where are your carriages?” and a seedy looking individual, with a rubicund face and ragged clothes, called out, “The brewer's driving my carriage,” , A Titled Englishwoman'* Good Work. The Countess of Carlisle, who has been for some time acquiring public houses in tho vicinity of Naworth Castle, Cumber land, whenever the opportunity presented itself, has purchased by private contract the old historic inn known as “Thu Plough,” at Panics, Lanercost. In almost everyinstanae the property acquired has been turned into a temperauee refresh SpQni house on a moro or less elaborate scale. Water Drinking. : Apropos of water drinking a medical "writer says that tha average person should drink from two to four quarts of •water each day. The system requires to be cleansed ami its organs flooded with water; Besides its cleansing efficacy, water absorbs offete matter and carries it through the system. The purer the water the greater the power of j absorption. Some diseases of the kidneys have been known to yield to generous drinking of pure spring water. Baer, tonics or alcoholic drinks cannot take the place of pure water. In many cases kidney and liver troubles have been traced to the use of •beer or alcoholic drinks. It has been as certained by medical experto tnat rheuma tism, local heart trouble, indigestion, pain ful swellings, eruptions, livery and kid ney disorders are caused mainly by general or local impeded oiroulatioa. The best tonic and blood purifier is nature’s own medium—pure spring water. "Why Mike Stopped Drinking. Mike Bryan is now a highly respected and well-to-do farmer in a Western community, but he nas not always been so highly re spected or so well-to-do. In times past Mike, as he is familiarly called, spent his BDare money in the saloons. The story ol his reformation is given In the words of an old neighbor and friend: “Yes, Mike drank a good deal in them flays, and treated more than he drank When old Judge Henry came back from the legislator, we made up a purse and bought him ahandsbme gold watoh to show hiaj our ’predation. "That night, in the saloon, one of the boys said-ihat Mike ought to have a new gold watch, too; for if he hadn’t gone to the legislater he hid raised the-first sack ol ,oats in the county, and raising oats for folks to eat wa^t much better than making laws for them t<$ quarrel over; "Thon som'ebdjdy Said that he would sub scribe ten dollar's. Mike was that pleased that he called all the boys up for a drink, and threw down a twenty: "Some onuedso subscribed another ten, and Mike treated again, throwing down an other twenty. Ha had just sold his crop and had nothing but twenties in his pocket. Of course ho never got a cent of change back, nor wanted any, he whs feeling so pleased. "We 11,-they kept on subscribing, and Mike kept on treating, until he had Bpent over three hundred dollars. The boyswentand wokothe jeweler up that very right and bought the watch. Mike went to bed as proud as a peacock. “But tho next morning, when he oarae to take a good look at his watch, he found that it was only an old brass thing, worth about two dollars and a half, Mike walked straight out to the river-bank and threw It into the water. Since then he has never t inside a saloon. It was the luckiest THE DKINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST lh MANY WAYS.

One of tie noblest treasures of the British Mus eum Is the Magna Charta —the great charter which the barons of England wrested from King John at Runymele. It is old and yellow, yet all men look upon it with reverent interest. It is the basis of that civil liberty whi«h is the glory of our mod ern world. The Apostle’s language however, t o the Corinthian Church, proclaims a still greater charter of privilege, and opens our eyes to a new and noble < onception of the Christian life. It was on ;e believed that men could only live an ideal Christian life in monasteries apart from this world of human activities. It was supposed that there \ ras something degrading in its sweet aid Intimate relationships. Let us not c eny that those great broth erhoods of the middle ages had their noble use for the world of that time and for the world that was to be. Those monasteries among the mountains cherished ti-ue and great ideals of hu man life, they kept human sympathy and service from wholly dying out among men. But for all that, the in terpretation of the Christian life was one sided, partial and essentially false. Our Lord jrayed that the disciples should be kept from the evil of the world, whil; still remaining In it. Lit erally he meant that they should be in the vory midst of life’s opportuni ties, activiies and growing progress, yet never nastered by its illusions, never degraded by its low alms or cor rupted by its spirit of worldliness. He came not lo destroy life but to fulfill it ; not to condemn the world but tf, save it. H; came to lift all things up to their tri e and noble use. He came to teach uj how to make the most of our humor, life. In some mysterious way life is our own. Our own to use or waste. We feel it to be so. We have power to choose, direct, tc make or mar We :an make the best of It, or the second best, or the third best, or the worst of all. Life is given as the royal material to work up into what ever pattern we choose. When you see a woman working out a pattern of needlework and look upon the wrong side, it all seems oonfusion. But on the other side the pattern gradually comes into form. It may be a rose or a lily, or a n angel or a tiger, or a dog or an ape. 5o our life as we look at it on side seems to be a lot of odds and ends, but into t le substance which is our selves a pattern is being worked out, and every purpose, thought and deed add something to the growing pattern and work out the permanent result we call character. No good thing in the world or in the whole domain of life Is to be despised, but all things are tc be subordinated to noblest ends and highest usiis. It Is onlj through right relation that we enter into the true possession of anything. A man in New York has offered a jrait sum to any one who will restors his sight. We rarely stop to consldei the wonderful blessing and treasure hi ialtn and the full possession of all the tenses becomes to us. Who would put a price on sight or hearing. It Is only through sight that we can enter Into ; jossesslon of art. A wealthy man might purchase the noblest pic ture, but if he were blind he could never com; Into true possession of it. He might touch it or listen to a .-de scription < f it. It would aH^be vain Only through the eyes does the glory of art enter the soul. It is equally so of music. Only through the gateway of the eai does it enter the soul. A vulgar mi ad, a sensationalist or a glutton can not possibly possess a li brary, tho' igh he may have a legal title to the boots. One only possesses that which he lobly uses. It is said some times of a man, he owns such a prop erty or stch a business, while as a matter of fact the farm, the factory or the store may own the man, com pletely dominating him. He may have no life ap irt or beyond these things. On the otiier hand no limit can be set to one’s sequirement where he can really sub iue, dominate and nobly use his posse* sion. For “all things are yours,” al things which you can real ly possess and nobly use. It is possible for a mar to be nobly rich, to be wise yet devout, to be a man of affairs yet upright. A good heart, a righteous pur pose, will make all things nourish a true life. But life must be strong at the center before it can be free at the circumfer ence. If i boy is to handle a gun, a horse or a boat safely, h© must bt taught th; true, wise and careful use of each. Before he can safely be en trusted with these things he must be taught discretion, prudence and noble self-contr >1. It Is exactly so In the use of al good things, they are not given to nar, but to ennoble person ality. Be ore one can safely be trust ed with fi eedom he must become mas ter of himself. He must learn the noble use of money before he can safe ly contro: it or truly enter into pos session. : t is equally so with leisure, with powi r or with any form of treas ure. All things are yours, but only when yov yourself are strong at the center, st ong in a true and masterful selfhood. Otherwise they will master you and you will become their posses sion. - It is onl 7 through Christ that we en ter upon l icssession of ourselves and of our great inheritance. The earth goes singing lr, its orbit around the sun be cause it Is obedient to the highest laws; so man tt rough Christ comes Into har mony wit i the highest laws of his be ing, and -educes all things about him and beneitth him to Just order. With Christ enthroned within all things be ours, life and the world, time temity, t lings present and coma.# .. It’s a battlo between the grogshop and the home. Drunkards ere made because boys, don’t refuse to drink. The llquo^trafllo blooks the way of evory honest reform. A drunkard Is a man who failed os a moderate drinker. A matoh may start a conflagration, and a teaspoon ful of brandy a thirst for liquor. ! Deal life and clear, cold water are to be found together, while whiskjrffnd madness and the dovil are never far apart. People *nlk about “fraud In drink.” The biggest fraud in drink is alcohol, which is eoid-as a stimulant and acts a3 a poison. The minister of religion who never re fers to the subject of drinking and gam bling Is not likely to give the devil much uneasiness. Drink has had mole to do In digging the graves of nations than we imagine. Amer ica Is not in a position to be -congratulated that it is out of danger. A murder was committed In Hartford. Conn., recently, which,,according to tho dally papers, was the “outcome of a drunken light over stale beer drained from kegs.” This melancholy item of news needs no comment. A year ago not loss than forty-three total abstinence Mayors were elected In England. Twenty of these were enter tained recently by the Lord Mayor of Lon* ion, and gave their testimony to tho bene lts of total abstinence. The pens with whioh tho Governors cZ forty-one States and the President of tha United States signed laws making tho study of pnysiologloal temperance obliga tory in the public schools have been placed m the Scientific Temperance Museum by iirs. Hunt. - Dog Farms in China. In Manclinrin and all that part of China adjoining Mongolia theta are thousands of farms devoted exclusive ly to dog raising. At each of these es tablishments several hundred dogs are kept, which are killed by strangula tion when they are S months old, usual ly toward the middle of winter. At that time their skin is covered with yery fine hair, and from these skins are made winter clothes for the in habitants of the celestial empire. Th.e dogs furnishing these skins are en tirely different from the breed of dogs known here or in Europe, and their fur is said to be so long-haired and close on account of the extreme cold in that region. These fur dogs constitute the only wealth of this desolate eountry, and the only dowry given to the daughters of these farmers consists of a number of dogs. The value of the dogs is about half a dollar, and as It takes eight fur dogs to make a coat, such an article is rather expensive. Traffic in dog skins is centered in large cities like Moukden and Foo Chow, where they are tanned. At the first-named place the amount of dog skins handled last year represented half a million dollars. f Fortunes fh Laces. Large sums of money are represented by fine old laces. It is said that the Astors own lace worth $3,000,000. and that'the Vanderbilts value theirs at $4,000,000. The pope is content with only $75,000 represented in lace, and the Princess of Wales boasts a oolleo* tion worth $250,000. _ L’eware of Ointment* foi Catarrh That Contain Mercury, ts mercury will surely destroy the sense cf smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces.

It will doobtless surprise many when H; is stated that ther dealers in human hair goods do not depend on chance clippings here and there, but that there is a regular hair harvest that can always be relied upon. It is estimated that over 12, 000,000 pounds of human hair are used annually in the civilized world or adorning the heads of women. In New York city alone over four tons of this class of goods are imparted yearly. "Not a little of the hair used in this country,” said a New York dealer to the writer, '‘comes fron the heads of American women and is fully as fine in shade and texture (.a the imported article. We had a big harvest during the craze that the fair i ex had not long ago for having their hair cut short. Many thousands of women who then bad their locks sheared have since bit terly regretted it, as in many instances their hair has grown so slowly that they have been compiled to wear a wig or a switch since the fashion changed. After the majority of wom en reach the age of thirty the hair seems to partially loso its vigor, and if cut it will not grow long again. “Two-thirds of the ladles nowadays use false hair more or less. The de cree of fashion, or tho charm, is the reason, of course. One woman, for in stance, has a high forel lead and wishes to reduce It in appearance. Another has worn off the front hair by contin ued frizzing, and would like to conceal the fact. Both make t se of a front or top piece, with a choice of many styles. “Ladies’ wigs cost fiom $20 to $200. Half wigs, top pieces and switches, from $10 to $50, according to quality. “The largest supply of hair oomes from Switzerland, Germany, and the French provinces, there is a human hair market in Merlant, in the depart* ment of the lower Pyrenees, held every Friday. Hundreds jf hair traders walk up and down the one street of the village, their shears dangling from their belts, and inspect the braids which the peasant gil ls, standing on the steps of the houses, let down for inspection. If a bargain Is struck the hair Is cut, and the mcney paid on tho spot, the price varying from 00 cents to $5 in our money. “A woman’s Bair any grow to the length of six feet. An! I know a lady who has been offered and refused $500 for her crown of glory, which is over six feet long. A single female hair will bear up a weight of four ounces without breaking, but the hair thus heavily weighted must be dark brown, for blonde hair breaks under a strain of two and one-half ounces. There are some 2,000 importers, manufactur ers and dealers in human hair in the United States. Only a "Vocman." A brawny Swede visited the Chicago city hall the other day to procure a marriage license, and c couple of clerks to whom he Innocently stated his wish es directed him to the department where the dog licenses are issued. He approached the license window diffidently, gave his mime and address and asked what the document would cost. “It will cost you $1 a year for every dog you keep,” replied the clerk. “Dog?” echoed the Swede. “Why, certainly,” continued the clerk, “don’t you wan: a dog license?” “Hal, no,” cried the would-be bene dict. “Ay kaint affoorl to buy dog dees yar.
