There may be an element of truth in" this statement, or there may be not, I, as a srirl. who thinks that she knows ""what she is writing about, would 69888a say that it all depends upon the character or ine woman,wno uuer&J - the little word. If she is a poor, weak sort or creature who Is cer tain of nothing, and who likes to hear the same thing over and over again, much after tb fashion of a young mother listening to her first baby's initial utterances, she will undoubtedly say "No" when she all fhfe time really means the very opposite. ' I have known a few instances, however in which "women who knew their own minds perfectly have been impelled to say. an emphatic negative when re, ceivinsc an offer of marriage from a man whom they loved passionately, while conscious all the time that they would eventually say a cooing affirmative. It was this way: The men proposing were, so to speak on trial at the bar. They were suspected -of offering marriage out of pity, or out of pique, or from a sense of justice. " - . - : ; V A woman is frequently made, the recipient of an offer on these grounds, and the trick of saying 4,lfo". when the question is first put is the one and only way of discovering whether the man sincerely means what he says. . ' . The instinct of many of us women will clearly tell us when a man is mak ing an offer that is not genuine, but sometimes we dare not trust to our instinct; Ave hope against hope, and we play our fish with evasive answers until we see that he reallymeans what he says from the bottom of his heart, rv;'!'-; -;-:' It is . not long since that t met a man who told me of a friend of his who had suddenly discovered that he would be better off in many, respects were be to marry. He straightaway Swent- the round of a number of girl friends and proposed "to four of j them in one day! They each rejected him, as he thought, bv saving "No" on the putting of the great question. - But two out of the four wrote to him on the day following, accepting! In the meantime he had made a fifth proposal and had been accepted. .- v ' .

Shyness or a different position in life are common causes for such delays on the part of many men. - - w As-a rule, it may be taken for granted that no woman says "No" without reason for doing so.. - . " , . One more instance: Two sisters recently fell in love with the same man, who was a close friend of their brother's. The man proposedto the younger Bister, and she said "No" because she knew that her sister wanted him. Yet when, in course of time, the man made the offer of marriage to the elder lister she likewise said "No" for the identical reason that she knew her sister wanted him. The girls' love for each other has up to the present Kept the man a bachelor. . . - SALOON KEEPER'S SOULOQUY me Sri and Her Reading. By W. D. HoweUs. HAT, then, is a goodi rule for a girl in her reading? Pleasure in it, as I have already said; pleasure, first, last and "all the time. But as one star differs from another, so the pleasures differ. With the high natures they will be fine, and with the low natures they will be coarse. It is idle to commend a fine pleasure to the low natures, for to these it will be a disgust, as surely as .a coarse pleasure to the high. But without pleasure In a thing read it will not nourish, or even fill, the mind; it will be worse provender than the husks which the swine did eat,' and which the prodigal found so unpalatable. . ;; Ther.ee follows a conclusion that I am not going to blink. It may be asked, then, if we are to purvey a coarse literary pleasure to the low natures, seeing that tliey have no relish for a fine one. I should say yes, so long as it is not a vicious one. But here I should distinguish, and say farther that I think there , is no special merit in reading as an occupation, or even as a pastime. should very much doubt whether a low nature would get any good of its pleasure in reading: and without going back to the old question whether women should be taught the alphabet, I should feel sure that some girls could be better employed in cooking, sewing, knitting,' rowing, fishing, playing basket ball j&r ping-pong than in reading the kind of book.s they like; just as some men could be better employed in the toils and sports that befit theirsex. I am aware that this is not quite continuing to answer the cuestion as to what girls should read;, and-1 will revert to that for a momeui . without relinquishing my position that the cult of reading is largely a superstition, more or less baleful. The common notion is that books are the right sort of reading for girls,; who are allowed also the modified form of books which we know a3 magazine's, but are not expected to read newspapers. This notion is so prevalent and so penetrant that I detected it in my own moral and mental substance, the other day, when I saw a pretty and prettily dressed girl -in the elevated train, reading a daily newspaper quite as if she were a man. It igave me a little shock which I was promptly ashamed of; for when I Con sidered, I realized that she was possibly employed as usefully and' nobly ias if .she were reading a book, certainly the sort of book she might have chosen.

MacNicholl of New York has recently published in the Quarterly Journal of Inebriety an account of a family a which the results of degen eracy and disease, arising mainly from alcoholism, have been traced and studied for four generations. The first generation comprised a married couple of good social position in the United States. Beth Indulged In social gaie ties, lived well and took wine habitu ally 'and daily. They had two daugh ters, each of whom developed in early life a fondness for wine and spirits. The elder of the two gave herself up to excesses of the wildest description, and-died a raving alcoholic maniac at the age of 40. The second daughter married a wealthy banker and lived a life, of excess, which led to tempo rary mental breakdown at the age of 55. She bore eight children, two male -and six females. The two males grew up to be drunkards. Of the six daugh ters five died from phthisis between the ages of 20 and 35 years. The surviv ing daughter married a man of good position, who was healthy and a mod erate drinker. They led a fashionable life, observing few social " restraints. She became a drunkard and an opium eater, and ended her days in poverty. Of this last union seventeen chil dren were born, constituting the fourth generation. Ten died from phthisis below the age of five years. Of the seven surviving, the eldest, a female. became a concert-singer and female prize-fighter, and led a drunken and immoral life. The second, a male, be came a moderate drinker and showed signs of phthisis, but was alive when last seen, at the age of 45 years., The third, a male, was a moderate drinker and showed suicidal tendencies on more than one occasion. The fourth, a male, became a habitual drinker and morphia-eater, had delirium tremens several times, and ended his life at the age of 35 years by an overdose of morphia taken while drunk. The fifth, a female, married early, took to drink and developed suicidal mania. The sixth, a male, at 23 vas a confirmed drunkard; at 24 he abandoned his wife and two children, and at 28 he committed suicide by drinking car bolic acid. The seventh, at the age of 21, was the subject of moral perver sion and suicidal impulses. THE DESTROYER ree Requisites of an Orator By. Henry M. Dowlinz - ' ?, HREE great requisites are demanded of everyone who would speak well. He must be clear, he must be forcefuL ahd be must please. - Clearness will be secured by translation and composition. "How can we speak forcibly and in a-mahner to excite pleasure? Anyone may avoid egregious blunders; it is the able orator who makes his-speech sinewy 'in its . strength, charming In itsbeauty. "Bold propositions, boldly and briefly .expressed pithy - sentences, nervous common sense, strong phrases, well-compacted periods, sudden and strong, masses of tight, an apt adage, a keen sarcasm, a merciless personality, a mortal thrust these ate the beauties and deformities that now make a speaker most interest ing." "Nothing is more artificial than the adornments In a spoken discourse. They do not necessarily arise from the peculiar attractiveness of the subject, rskine could throw a charm about the most repulsive causes; .and there may te speakers who, without strenuocs'effort, could render sterile and disgusting a subject boundless in suggestiveness and luxuriant in beauty. In all your com positions, oral and written, first outline the. general plan of youf matter, and then select portions to be embellished by rhaste.- adornment, not in the spirit of the pulpit orator who annotated his sermon manuscript with stage directions such as, "Here weep!" but with a rational sense of the places where ornament uiay appropriately be Inserted to clarify the thought, vitalize the argument, or arouse new interest on the part of an audience. At one point, you will decide to use a bit of vivid description of men or scenes; at another, you will mark, as a proper pUree to thrust forward a pungent antithesis, a picturesque metaphor; at another, you will select, as affording an opportunity, a supposed speech of your adversary or of a third person, or pretend to read from an imaginary docu ment; at a fourth, you will see to It that you express indignation and apologies . to the audience for being overborne by your feelings. Success. Intemperance creates in a man an ungovernable appetite. Men who have fallen have told us it is not a de sire, not an appetite, not a passion. These ordinary words fail to express the thing. It is more like a raging storm that pervades the entire being; it is a madness that paralyzes the brain; it is a corrosion that gnaws the stomach, it is a storm-fire that courses through the veins; it trans gresses every boundary, -it fiercely casts aside every barrier, it regards no motive, it silences reason," it stifles conscience, it tramples upon prudence, it overleaps everything that you choose to put in its way, and eternal life and the claims .of God are as feathers, which it blows out of its path. What does it do to man's body? It diseases it; . it crazes his brain, it blasts' his nerves, it consumes his liver, it destroyes his stomach, it in flames his heart, it sends a fiery flood of conflagration through all the tis sues; it saps the recuperative ener gies of man's body, that oftentimes a little scratch upon a drunkard's skin is a greater injury than a bayonet thraist through and through the body of a temperate man. It not only does this, but the ruin, that it brings into the nervous system often culminates in delirium tremens. Have you ever seen a man under its influence? Have you heard him mutter and jab ber, and leer and . rave like an idiot? Have you - heard him moan, ( cry, shriek, curse and rave as he tried -to skulk under the bedclothes? Have, you looked into his . eyes and seen the horrors of the damned there?. Have you seen the scowl, on his face,, so that the whole atmosphere was filled vith tempest? Have you seen him heave on his bed, as though his body was undulating upon the rolling waves like a fire? If you have, then you know what it does to thebody. Rev. H. M. Scudder; TYPICAL OF INEBRIATES Did you ever see a pig in an or chard, with his whole -intellect bent on getting another apple into -his stomach? His round, shrewd, greedy little eyes scrutinize the earth in all direc tions. His ear( twitches quickly to catch the sound of an apple as . it falls, and his- fat body with amazing speed obeys the message of the ear and rushes to get the apple. - But In all his wanderings through the orchard that pig never looks up ward, never thinks of the source of the apples that fall near him. His mind -is never raised above the ground onv which he walks. The apples on the low-hanging boughs almost brush against his bristles, but his eyes do not see them. The. pig's sight and mind and con centrated attention are all turned downward. He is incapable of so much as an upward glance. ' And the pig, voted the lowest of the animals by public opinion's just de cree, is typical of the man -whom whisky is gradually : depriving of his manhood, changing him into a swine or a swine's brother.

This Is a new theory in the scientific' world,- but it is - not without the range of possibilities and s seems the Savior shows His Tuture. The best prayer for more Dower is the practice of that you have. How can we claim access to His throne who deny Him-our throne?

The salvation of this world waits for the surrender of our wills to God's Right ' ends -are never furnished by wrong agencies. - God's plough of sorrow is His prom ise of harvest. The worker's pay may be the shirk- erls punishment. To pray for rest may be to postpone your reward. The devil's ornaments soon become the man's harness. .
