Well call the at'ention, of the mothers and sisters
to the feet, that the Woulates Christian Temper,

"'TlQllte„
As the Editor has kindly given us part of 'his
space, for our work, we ask friends of the cause to
mond items of Interest an all moral questions of the
dm, to .1414V of our members,
of this ignorance for the. salve .of "the
money there is in rho business."
`The following appeal's in a weekly
religious paper, an official organ of
church that has a good reputation
for teniperenee enterprise, With a
*me of a bottle front which the
liquid is going off with a. spurt the
advertisement reads: There's lots of
snap and vim it#–ms's Root Beer,
There's lots of pleasure and good
health in it too, A delicious drink;
a home-made drink that delights the
Old and the young, Be sure to get
the genuine," etc,
The process of
fermentation n and
' the spurting so vividly pictured out,
ought to mean "alcohol" to any well
informed person; indeed what else
could be the meaning of the "snap
and vim" to any one?
To. the Religious and. Moral ]gess,
On behalf of the Woman's Chris-
tain Temperance Union the superin-
tendents of its press department de•
sire to express cordial appreciation of
' your valuable service in. advancing
,1 the cause of total abstinence by the
publication of temperance truths.
lilt, the same time we must express
.'r deep regret that a number of
leading papers, which circulate ex-
tensively among young people and in
Christain families, are doing pluck to
- nullify the effects of such teaching
• by advertising certain preparations
for making root beer. ,
The pledge of the Woman's Chris-
tian Temperance Union is against
" the use of and traffic in "all distilled,
fermented and malt liquors." The
chemist has taught us that the fer-
mentation of sugar, yeast and water
produces alcohol,' In the manufac-
ture of root beer there is the fermen-
tation of these substances flavored
with the herb extracts ; there must,
therefore, be alcohol in it, varying in
quantity according to the length of
timeit stands before using. Analyses
of the drink by unprejudiced and
well qualified and equipped analysts,
bave shown that the proportion is
often , larger than in malt beers,
which no religious or literary periodi-
cal would in these days of temperance
*enlightenment think of advertising.
But the small per cent. of alcohol,
which not even the manufacturers of
the extracts deny is produced in
brewing it, makes it a most insidious
foe of temperance, kindling and fan-
ning by imperceptible degrees the
alcoholic appetite. Sir Benjamin
Ward Richardson, the greatest of
living physiologists, says of this
power •of alcohol to create a taste
for itself: So long as a roan is tak-
• tug even a small qaantity of alcohol,
•
so long as the system is under its
iufluatice ever so little, we find this
taste ' always present. We can
therefore but class root beers with
. intoxicating beverages and use our
influence to discourage their use.
"ilThe "people are g.rne into captiv-
ity, because they have no knowl-
• edge" of these facts. And by the
same ignorance the leaders of the
people—many church and family
papers in which they place implicit
confidence—have caused them to err.
We appeal to such papers to investi-
gate the nature of this beverage they
are advertising as a harmless tem-
peranee drink Wo appeal to all
other papers of the class addressed
to help spread the knowledge of these
scientific facts; that the people who
believe root beer is not alcoholic,
because they make it themselves,
may be undeceived, and may not
when too late, find that there is in it
the sting of the adder. '

tendent Press Department.

is a. private boast of the manufac-
turers that drinkers do not use it cis
a substitute for lager, wine or eider.
Why not? Because these drinks are
a little stronger. Root beer is meant
for beginners—"teluperanee" people

.A. Sensible Mill Man,
In 1883 Mr. A. L. Foster, together
with others, formed a corporation
and established a saw -mill plant at
a place called Forest City, in Meno-
minee County, Michigan. They
employed 150 men. The pay -roll is
about $3,000 to $5,000 per month.
There are forty-five families, all hav-
ing comfortable homes. They have
a school, townhall, library, and read-
ing room. Mr. Foster determined to
exclude the saloons from the place..
He was told by several experienced
lumbermen that he 'could not keep
men to work for him without saloons.
He determined to try the experi-
ment. Never since the organization
of the, company has it been compell-
ed to send away 'for employees.
The nearest saloon is at Metropoli-
tan, five miles distant, Mr. Foster
writes that he has never spent a
dollar in railway fares or time to get
men—simply answering letters is all
the expense to which he has been
put, They have never had occasion
to use one single dollar for the poor
fund, either town or county. The
mill has been running for about ten
years.—W. (2. T. U. Bulletin.

• A Witty Reply.
The Crown Prince of Germany,
though only about twelve years old,
has a very ready wit, and a queer
way of saying things, He sees the
f unny side of a situation at once.
One day, while visiting Potsdam,
the little prince was amusing himself
by trying to make a donkey draw a
cart, but the donkey was stubborn
and would not 'go.'
'Your donkey has a great deal of
will power,' called out the Emperor,
who had been watching the struggle
between his little son and the stub-
born beast.
'Oh. no, papa,' replied the little
prince, quickly, 'it isn't his will
power that troubles me. It is his
won't power. He won't go.'

A young girl went to a bank not

She wrote her name,but was aston-

Her indignant protest was met by
the statement that the name she had
just signed bore no resemblance to
that written when the money was
brought to the bank. Fortunately
site was able to prove her identity,
but the person who testified in her
favor said frankly that he would
have refused payment bn such con-
tradietory signatures. "Let the give
you a piece of advice," said he.
"Alter your writing if you choose,

Repairing Mail Bags.
A O1i8 AT INDUSTRIAL >: STAHLISITAIR r
T.QpArl.'RR AT Tide NATION'S ()AI'IVAX.,
Every one knows that Uncle Sam
is engaged in various phases of busi-
ness in order to carry out his main
purpose, which is the proper con-
duct of the government of over
sixty millions of people. Perhaps
the average citizen does not realize,
even those who are more or loss
familiar with Washington, that at
the nation's capital there is a large
establishment controlled entirely by
Uncle Sam, which is devoted to
purely industrial purposes. It is the
Shop where the mail hags used in
l:he postal service are repaired. Sotne
idea of the magnitude of this bust-
' ness can be gathered from the fact
that the building occupied for this
purpose is a large five -story structure
where there are over two hundred
and thirty persons employed.
The annual expenditure is about
one hundred thousand dollars, and
While this may seem to be a large
amount to be used simply in the re-
pair of mail bags, yet it is said by
the post office department officials,
that if this shop was not in existence
that the government would spend
two or three times as much as it
does at present in the purchase of
Mail bags. As every one knows,
these bags are made of canvas or
jute, and are subjected to consider-
able hard usage. Even an expert
baggage smasher does not handle the
v •.
lu„gage of the travelling public with
more recklessness 'than the mail bags
are treated in their long journeys.
Time is a prime requisite in the
dispatch of mails, and the bags are
loaded into wagons, and from thence
into cars, or the process is reversed,
and the main consideration is the
saving of time. When the bags be-
come worn or torn or damaged in
any way, they are gathered together
and forwarded to the great repair
shop in this city. There is a small
repair shop in Chicago where, how-
ever, only minor injuries are made
good. At the shop in this city, some
200,000 mail bags are received, over-
hauled, and sent to different parts of
the country every thirty days. Some
of the mail pouches are made of
leather, and expertsare needed to
make the necessary repairs. There
is in;: ,addition a snail lock shop,
where fifteen skilled mechanics are
employed, and about thirty other
men and boys:
The pay of those who repair the
mail bags is not large, but the labor
is unskilled, as it consists mainly in
sewing and patching the canvas
sacks. It is a singular thing, but
occasionally mail matter is found in
the sacks which are sent to the re-
pair shops, This _ is mostly news-
papers and circulars, but once in a
while a letter is found. For this
reason the bags are _ carefully inspect-
ed before they are placed in the
hands of the work people.
Some time ago a patent attorney
in this -city forwarded a book of
patent coupons to a client to be used
in securing copies of patents. His
client received the letter, but it did
not contain the coupons. A long
while afterwards a post office inspee-
tor called on the attorney and asked
him if he had, not sent a book of'
coupons through the mails which had
not reached their destination. He
said that he had, and the inspector
produced the lost coupons, which it
seems had been found in a mail sack,
which had been forwarded to the re-
pair shop.
It•was-evident that the letter had.
been rifled by some one who sup-
posed that the coupons had an avail-
able money value. A list is kept of
the purchasers of the coupons and in
this way the post office inspector was
able to trace the owner of the lost
Wok.
A year or so ago one of the
curious features of the 1)1ai1 bag re-
pair shop was a woman employed as
one of the repairers who had been
totally blind for years. Her special
duty was to exarnine the mail bags
which had defective cords, and
either to repair them or to supply
new ones. She did this work with
wonderful quickness, and was re•
girded as one of the most efficient
workers in the shop.

At a recent meeting in Forest, Mr.
Hunter' spoke on "Dancing," and
gave the following as a young lady's
ten reasons for not dancing;
1st. Dancing, will lead me into
crowded rooms and late hours,, which
are injurious to health and life,
2nd. It will lead me into very elose
contact with pernicious company;
and evil companions corrupt good.
manners..
3rd. Dancing will allow me to use
and permit freedoms with the other
sex of which I would be ashamed
under other cfreuinstances,and which
I believe to be wrong.
4th, My parents and friends would
be anxious if I were out late in com-
pany with they know not whorn.
5th, Ministers and good people in
general, disapprove of dancing, and I
don't think it is wise to set myself
against them.
Oth. Dancing has a badnanxe, and
I want to study things that are pure
and of good report,
7th, Dancing is generally accom-
panied by drinking, which causes a
great deal of evil.
8th, It is a great temptation to
young men, and I do not wish to have
anything to do with leading them
astray.
9th. Dancing unfits the mind. for
serious reflection and prayer, and 1
mean to do nothing that will estrange
me from. my God and Saviour.
10th. There are plenty of graceful
excercises and cheerful amusements
which have none of the objections that
there are against dancing.
The speaker also gave ten reasons
for not dancing, as follows
1. Do nothing that will impair your
health.
2. 1)o nothing that will involve ex-
travagance or needless expenditure.
3. Do nothing that aids others in a
life of sin,
4. Do nothing that will lead you
into bad company.
5. Do nothing that will cause others
to stumble.
6. Do nothing that will deaden
your spiritual life.
7. Do nothing without consulting
God's people.
8. Do nothing about which you
have a doubt.
9. Do nothing that brings reproach 1
upon the cause of Jesus Christ..
10. Do nothing in defiance of God.
