Women as well as men are made miser

Gambling.
The supreme objection to gambling
In all its forms, whether in sport or
in speculative business, is that it works
harm and loss to society. As soon as
any practice or conduct Is found to be
socially hurtful it thereby becomes
'wrong, whatever men may have
thought of it before. Doect not all mor
ality rise to consciousness through the
fact of social advantage or injury?
Now the long and costly experience of
mankind bears uniform testimony
against gambling till at last the ver
dict of civilization has become as near
ly unanimous as human judgment can
be that It is an Intolerable nuisance.
It is a dangerous or unsocial form of
excitement It hurts character, demor
alizes industry, breeds quarrels, tempts
men to self destruction, and it works
special injustice to women and chil
dren. We may not know precisely why
' morphine preys upon the nervous sys
tem and has to be labeled "poisonous."
The fact is the main consideration,
j So with the stimulus or excitation of
gambling. Grant that I profess my
self willing to pay for my fun. The
fun is degrading, like the prize fight
or bear baiting.—Charles P. Dole In
Atlantic.

good as maple sugar and which children
like so well to take. Unlike nearly all
other cough remedies, it does not consti

The Influence of (he Farm,
The farm Is the best security we
have for our social well being, and
whatever promotes interest there,
whatever raises it In intelligence and
scientific spirit, is of the most
comforting influences of our civiliza
tion. And so to have our young men
imbued with the true agricultural spiiv
It, to turn away from the adventures
of the commercial life and the allure
ments of mere money making to the
simple, productive, independent life on
the farm, is one of the richest promises
in our educational system. For there
Is where it belongs—to the expanding
mind force of the nation. The finest
triumphs of the next fifty years, re
sults that will go further than all
other enterprise in blessing men, will
be won on the farm. There is a science
of soil culture, and the art that is to
be based upon it will open wide the
door to men of thought and refinement.
The answer of the old artist that he
mixed his paint with brains is akin to
the experience in the farming of the
future, which will mix brains with the
soil.—Colufnbus (O.) Journal.
He Knew Tltem.
"What's up, Tommy?" said a good
natured London coster, who was pass

bitterly.
"Oh, me farden! Hl've lorst me brite
farden T' wailed the little lad, continu
ing his search.
" 'Ere, mates," said the man to some
others standing near, "let's help the
pore kid find 'is farden.'* And the com
pany set to work. •
In a few moments one of them pick
ed up the missing coin.
" 'Ere y'are, Tommy," he said; 44 'ere's
yer farden."
Then, looking at It in the light of a
street lamp, "W*y, it ain't a farden at
all; it's « 'mtf
"Gam!" said the boy m b* snatched
away the coin. "D'ye think Hi wag
goin' to let yew blokes know hit was a
'arf thick 'un? W'y, wun of yer would
'a' 'ad 'la foot on it afore Hi'd 'ad
time ter turn rahnd."
And he vanished round the corner
like a streak of lightning.—London An

For laces and" cambrics an extra quan
tity of the powder is used, and for any
thing required to be made extra stiff
a strong solution is necessary. Borax,
being a neutral salt, does not in the
slightest degree injure the texture of
the linen. Its effect Is to soften the
nardest water, and therefore it should
be kept on every toilet table.
To Remove Medicine Stains.
Stains made by medicine and lini
ment are often obstinate to remove
in the hands of an amateur. lodine
marks may be removed by washing
the spots with strong ammonia until
it fades, after which wash in tepid
water and strong soap.
Ammonia is equally good for re
moving cod liver oil stains. Fuller's
earth made into a paste and thickly
applied to the spots will also remove
them.
You might as well expect one wave
of the sea to be precisely the same as
the next wave of the sea as to expect

FESTIVAL OF THE DEAD.
Eskimos Provide Food and Clothes For
Returning Ghosts.
The.natives of the Yukon river region
hold a festival of the dead every year
Bhortly before Christmas and a greater
festival at intervals of several years.
At these seasons food, drink and
clothes are provided for the returning
ghosts in the clubhouse of the village,
which is Illuminated for the occasion
with oil lamps. Every man or woman
who wishes to honor a dead friend sets
up a lamp on a stand in front of the
place which the dead one used to oc
cupy in the clubhouse. These lamps,
filled with seal oil, are kept burning
day and night until the festival is over.
They are believed to light the shades
on their return to their old home and
back again to the land of the dead. If
any one fails to put up a lamp in the
clubhouse and to keep it burning, the
shade whom he or she desires to honor
could not find its way to the place and
so would miss the feast When a per
son has been much disliked his ghost
Is sometimes purposely ignored, and
that is deemed the severest punishment
that could be inflicted upon him. After
the songs of invitation to the dead have
been sung the givers of the feast take
a small portion of food from every dish
and cast it down as an offering to the
shades. Then each pours a little wa
ter on the floor so that it runs through
the cracks. In this way they believed
the spiritual essence of all the food and
water Is conveyed to the souls. With
songs and dances the feast comes to an
end and the ghosts are dismissed to
their own place. The dancers dance,
not only in the clubhouse, but also at
the graves and on the ice if the dead
met their deaths by drowning. On the
eve of the festival the nearest male
relative goes to the grave and sum
mons the ghost by planting there a
small model of a seal spear or of a
wooden dish, according as the dead
was a man or a woman. The totems of
the dead are marked on these imple
ments. The dead who have none to
make offerings to them are believed to
suffer great destitution; hence the Es
kimos fear to die without leaving be
hind them some one who will sacrifice
to their spirit, and childless people
generally adopt children lest their
shades be forgotten at the festivals.—
New York Tribune.
Liquid Sulphur.
At Lake Charles, near the gulf of
Mexico, 230 miles from New Orleans,
I sulphur Is obtained from deep deposits
in the form of liquid. Wells driven to
a depth of 600 feet in search of petro
leum revealed instead a rich deposit of
sulphur. To obtain the mineral hollow
tubes were driven into the earth. Each
sulphur well consists of three tubes,
one within another. "Through the outer
tube hot water Is forced down, and it
issues through perforations near the
bottom. Through the central tube hot
air is driven a little lower than the
points where the hot water escapes.
Through the third tube, inclosed be
tween the o'ther two, the liquid sul
phur, dissolved by the water, rises to
the surface under the combined influ
ence of the pressure of the column of
water and the impulsion of the rising
air. The liquid sulphur Is led Into
wooden reservoirs, where it cools and
hardens.—Exchange.
The Jumping Off Place.
"Consumption had me in its grasp;
and I had almost reached the jumping
off place when I was advised to try Dr.
King's New Discovery; and I want to
say right now, it saved my life. Im
provement began with the first bottle,
and after. taking one dozen bottles I
was a well and happy man again," says
George Moore, of Grimesland, N. C.
As a remedy for coughs and colds and
healer of weak, sore lungs and for pre
venting pneumonia New Discovery is
supreme. 50c and SI.OO at Griffin's
drug store. Trial bottle free.

At one of the large north country
churches recently a fashipnably dress
ed lady happened to go into one of the
private pews. The rerger, who is
known to be a very stern old chap, im
mediately bustled up to her and said:
"I'm afraid, miss, you'l! ha'e to cum
out o' that This is a paid pew."
"Sir," said the young lady, turning
sharply round, "do you know who I
am ? I'm one of the Fifes."

One day the came, and the

Long Sight.
The longest distance ever compassed
by human vision is 183 miles, being
the distance between the Uncompahgre
park. In Colorado, and Mount Ellen, in
Utah. This feat was accomplished by
the surveycrs of the United States
coast and geodetic survey, who were
engaged, in conjunction with repre
sentatives of other nations, in making
a new measurement of the earth.
Valuable Conch Shell.
There are evidently a number of
mysterious properties about the conch
shell in Its relation to Indian religious
rites and ceremonies that require in
vestigation. For instance, a conch with
its spirals twisting to the right instead
of to the left is supposed to be worth
its weight in gold. Some years ago a
conch of that description was offered
for sale in Calcutta with a reserve
price of a lac of rupees placed on it.
It was eventually bought in for £4,000.
