IteVenue for Government Support the Only alletification for Taxation. THE INAUGURATION OEREMONIBS, The hest occasion was greater than the first. lied the atmospheric conditions been any- thing like favorable, instead of being as bier as could possibly be, there would probably have been 60,000 and a number of ladies :marching or riding in the parade, as against '25,000 in 1885. They veere all here waiting to fall in line, but at the lett moment many of tbe organizations were compelled to de- sist from participation. Nevertheless, the occasion was made memorable by the vast attendance.

Every foot of standing room along the route of the procession, fully two miles in length, was occupied ; windows command- ing a view of the parade brought fabulous prices and advantageous seats on the public stands commanded prices ranging from $5 up and down. The main stand from which President Cleveland reviewed the marade was erected immediately in front of the White House. It was 150 feet long and quite deep, and had a comfortable seating capacity for 1,100 persons, 600 more than the corresponding stand erected on the same site for the in- anguration of President Harrison. It was decorated with effective taste. Cushioned seats were provided for the President and his Cabinet, who surrounded him, andlold- long chairs were supplied for the diplomatic corps, who were arranged immediately be - 'bind him. On either side were seats for Senators, members of the House of Repre- sentatives and specially invited guests. A detailed and itemized report of the great inauguration pareele, which started at 11.10 a. m., is of course impossible, -when a mere enumeration of the various regiments, companies, posts and civic organizetions participating occupies three newspaper columns. But some of the notes and incidents of the parade are here set down at random. Among the magnificently mounted special aides who rode behind Grand Marshal MoMehon and his staff were representatives from every State and Territory in the 'Union. The guard of honor of President Cleveland consisted of 100 members of the New York Business ntlen's Cleveland and Stevenson Association, representing fifteen mercantile organizations the Empire City. The passage of the President along the avenue was one continual ovation of the -most enthusiastic kind. . The superblv drilled battalions of regulars under the command of General Brooks, formed his escort. Prominent among the horsemen who led the civic division of the parade was Buffett, Mill. He rode side by side with the vener- able and picturesque New Yorker, Gen. Josiah Porter, and they made a team that Wail in itself a feature of the division. Headed by Governor Flower and staff', the appearance of three thousand Tammany 'braves Was a revelation to many of the spectators. The Presidential party arrived at the Capitol at 12.12 p. m. The President's Message. Ific FELhow-CrrizENs,—In obedience to the mandate of my countrymen, I am about to dedicate myself to their service under the sanction of a solemn oath. Deeply moved by the expression of confidence and personal at- tachment whieh has called me to this service, lam sure roy gratitude ean make no better re- turn than the pledge I now give, before God and these witnesses, of unreserved and com- plete devotion to the interests and welfare of -those who have honored me. I deem it fitting on this occasion, while indicating the opinions Iheld concerning public questions of present importance, to also briefly refer to the existence of certain conditions and tendencies among our people which seem to menace the integrity and usefulness of their Government. W hile every American citizen must contemplate with utmost pride and enthusiasm the growth and expansion of our country,the sufficiency of our institution% to stand against the rudest shocks of violence, the wonderful thrift and enterprise of our people, and the demonstrated superiority of our free government, it behooves us to con- stantly watch for every symptom of insidious infirmity that threatens our national vigor. The strong man who, in the confidence of sturdy health, courts the sternest] activities of Mfo and rejoices in the hardihood. of constant Iabor, may still have lurking near his vitals the unheeded disease that L'doems him to sudden collapse. It cannot he doubted that our stupendous -achievements as a people and our country's /robust strength, have given rise to a heedless- -MSS of those laws governing our national health, which we can no more evade than human life can escape the laws of God and nature. Manifestly nothing is more vital to our su- premacy as a nation and. to the beneficent pur- poses of our Government than a semi and Stable currency. Its exposure to degradation should at once arouse to activity the most -enlightened statesmanship, and the danger of depreciation in the purchasing power of the wages paid to toil should furnish the strongest incentive to prompt and conServative precau- tion. In dealing with our present embarrassing situation as related to this subject, we will be -wise, if we temper our confidence and faith in 'our national strength and resourcee, with the /rank concession that even these will not 'permit us to defy with impunity the inexorable laws of finance and trade. At the same time, incur efforts to adjust differences of opinion, we should he free from intolerance and passion and our judgment should be unmoved by alluring phrases and tinvexecl by selfish in- terests. 1 am confident that such an approach to the subject will result in prudent and 'effectiVe remedial legislation. In the mean- tinie, so far as the executive branch of the ,tovernment can intervene, none of the powers With Which it is invested will be withheld, when their exercise is deemed necessary to maintain our national credit or avert financial s:lieaster. Closely related to tho eireggerated confidence in our cometryn greetnets, which tends to a disregard of the rules of national safety, another danger confronts -as not less Serif:MS. I inferto the prevalence of a popular disposition :to expect from tbe operant% of the Govern- ment especial and direct individual ad - van cages. 'The verdict of wer voters, which condensned itheirijuatice of maintaining protection for pro- tectioins sake, enteihs upon the people's sot - *ants the duty of exposing and destroying the bread of kindred evils, Which are the unwhole- Arnie progeny of paternellsm. This is the berm a Republic:en institute:ow and the.constart tieril of our Government by the people, It de- rides to the riorposea of wily oteft tlid. plan Of rule our fathers estate Halted and. bequeathed to us as an reelect of Ourleve,and Veneration.

It is a plain dictate of honesty and good gov- erntnent that public expenditures should be limited by public necessity and that this should be measured by the rules of strict economy, and it is equally °tear that frugality among the people is the best guarantee of a contented and, strong support of free institutions. The existence of immense aggregations of kindred enterprises and combinations of bust. ems interests. formed for the perpose of limit. log production and flaring prices, is incon- sistent with the fair field which ought to be open to every independent activity. Legiti- mate strife in btainess should not be super- seded by an enforced. 'concession to the de- mands of combinations that have the power to destroy; nor should the people to be served lose the benefit of cheapness, which usually re- sults from wholesome competition. These ag- gregations and combinations frequently con - slant° conspiracies against the interests of the people and as in all their phases they are un- natural and opposed to our AMeriCan sense or fairness, to the ext, nt that they can be reached and restrained by Federal power the. General Governruent should relieve our citi- zens from their interference and exactions. The people of the 'Eluded States have decreed that ou this day the erntrol bf their Govern- ment in its legislative and executive branches shall be given to a political party pledged in the most positive terms to the accomplishment of tariff reform. They have thus deteimined in favor of a more justand equitable system ot federal taxation. The agen s they havechosen to carry out their purposes are bound by their promises, not less than by the command of their masters. to devote themselves unremittingly to this service. While there should be no surrender of principle, our task must be undertaken wisely and without vindic- tiveness. Our mission is not punishment, but, tbe ratification of wrongs. If in lifting burden, from the daily life of our people we reduce inordinate and unequal advantages too long enjoyed, this is but a necessary. inci- dent of our return to right and justice. If we exact from unwilling minds acquiesr °nee in the theory of an honest distribution of the fund of governmental beneficence treasured up for all, we but insist upon a principle which underlies our free institutions. When we tear aside tbe delusions arm mi. -conceptions which have blinded our countrymen to their condi tion under vicious tariff laws, we but show them how far they have been led away from the paths of contentment and prosperity. When we proclaim that • the necessity for revenue to support the Government fur- nishes the only justification for taxing the people, we announce a truth so plain that its denial would seem to indicate the extent to which judgment maybe influenced by familiarity with perversions of the taxing power. and when we seek to reinstate the self-- confidence and business enterprise of our citi- zens, by discrediting an abject dependence upon govermental favor, we strive to stimulate those elements of American character which support the hope of American achievement. Anxiety for the redemption of the plsciges which my party has made and E•olicitude tor the complete justification of the trust the p00- ple have reposed in us, constrain me to remind those with whom I am to co-operate, that we can succeed in doing the work which has been specially set before us only by the inestsincere, harmonious and. disinterested effort. Even if insuperable obstacles and. opposition prevent the con.summation of our task, we shall hardly be excused, and if failure can be traced tcrour fault or neglect, we may be sure t he people will hold us to a swifo and exacting accounta- bility. The oath I now take to preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the Ilmted States, not only impressively defines the great re- sponsibility I assume, but suggests obedience to constitutional commands as the rule' by which my coustitutional conduct must be guided. I shall to the best of my ability and within my sphere of duty, preserve the consti- tution by loyally protecting every grant of federal power it contains. by defending all its restraints when attacked by impatience and restlessness, and by enforcing its limitations and reservations in favor of the States and the people. Fully impressed with the gravity of the du ies that confront me and miudful of my weakness, I should be appalled if it were my lot to bear unaided the responsibilities which await me. I am, however, saved from dis- couragement when I remember that I shall have the support and the counsel and co-opera- tion of wise and patriotic men who will stand at my side in cabinet places, or will represent the people in the legislative halls. I find also much comfort in remembering that my countrymen are just and generouw and in the assurance that they will not condemn those who, by devotion to their service, deserve their forbearance and approve). Above all, I know there is a Supreme Being, who rules the affairs of men and whose - ood- ness and mercy have always followed the American people, and 1 know He will not turn from us now if we humbly and reverently seek His powerful aid.

Liquoa TIIADE Ili FRANCE, Every Man in Happy Gaul Can Keep a Saloon ifile Likos Government Encourages Drink—Army Costs $200 a 'Minnie and Liquor Dues Delp Pay It —Bachelor Party Blind Drunk ler a Week—litiquette of the itimonadier—Saleous Open All Night—Peculiarity al French legal Sunrise. T 18 said that con- sidering the Dimwit wicked facilities which are accorded to the liquor trade in France by the French Govern- mente the fact that the presence of a drunken man or woman in the atreets of Paris—not the country—is quite an event in the eyes of the gamins, baclauds, and sergents de ville is eloquent testimony in favor of the sobriety of the FrPnoh nation. As a matter of fact there is no city in the world in which a man can get more com- fortably and keep more persistently drunk than in Paris. A short time since a party was given by a young man who wished to " bury his bachelor days " in fine style. Ile took a room at a cafe in the Hallos quarter and kept his friends constantly plied with ardent liquors from 5 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon till noon on the following Sunday. The party continued for several days, at the end of which time those who were not dead drunk were bordering on d. t's. A man in Paris whose bent should be that way, and who ehould have the necessaryfunds, might keep himself on "the drink" from the lst of January of one year to the fol- lowing St. Sylvester's Eve. Nobody would interfere with him, nor with his host, unless his conscience or his purse ; in fact, the alcohol votary enjoys; in Paris the most unrestricted facilities for the exercise of his cultus, and this under the most paternal of Governments. FREE TRADE IN INTOXICANTS. The sale of intoxicating liquors is practi- cally unrestricted in France. There is no such thing as a licensing, law. Anybody can open a debit, whether a foreigner, an ex -convict or otherwise. All that the would-be licensed victualler has to do is to write a letter to Monsieur le Prefect de Police, if it be in Paris that he wishes to exercise his trade, or to the Prefect of the department, if it be in the country, asking for an authorization as a /imonadier, or lentonadeer, this being the generic name un- der which the purveyors of liquid refresh- ments are known to the French authorities. This application must be written on paper bearing a Government stamp of the price of 12 ciente. Monsieur le Prefect de Police or Monsieur le Prefect of whatever the depart- ment may be usually answers within forty- eight hours, nor is the asked -for authoriza- tion ever refused. ETIQUETTE OF THE MARCHAND DE vim No inquiry as to the antecedents or morality of the would-be linzonaelier is ever instituted. Any one who chose could in forty-eight hours be established dams la limonade in Paris or in the province& Armed with his authorization the dealer has then to come to terms with his land- lord. Some landlords like letting the shops in their houses to the licensed victualler; othera objece. It is a piece of etiquette that no landlord shall lease two shops in the same house to two marchands de vin, although no objection can be made to his having.; as simultaneoue tenants tsvo sellers of liquid refreehment, provided that only one of them has the right to sell wine. Thus in a house there is a marchand de vin and a tobacconist who sells drink ; the latter, however,not being allowed by the terms of his lease to sell wine, wine being, be it said, en pa-ssant, the principal source of revenue to the limonaclier. VARIOUS GRADES OF " PATENTES." Once installed in his saloon, the wine dealer is free to act as he likes. He is troubled neither by inspectors nor other officials'and as long as he keeps fairly regular hours and pays his patents he can intoxicate all Paris to his heart's content. The patente is the tax paid by every person in business in Paris. This tax varies according to the class of trade in which the tradesman is engaged. Thus the jeweller pays patente at the higest rates, and the dealer in milk at the lowest. Saloon- keepers are divided into five classes, that is to say, there are five rates of patente to be paid by the storekeeper established in the victualling trade in Paris. The class is fixed according to the rent paid by the dealer. Limonadiers ot the highest clam, or first class, pay 830 patente per annum, the second-class pay $25, the third-class pay $20, the fourth-class pay $15 and the fifth or lowest class pay $10 per annum, in addition to their ordinary rates and taxes. In the country the rates are lower according to the number of inhabitants in the commune in which the dealer exercises bis trade. Special rates are paid by dealers who, using female bar -tenders may be considered as earning special profits. Indeed the percentage levied on this disreputable traffic is a very high one. Similarly, special rates are charged to minors -keepers who enjoy the privilege of keeping their establishments open all night, the number of which is no small one in Paris. STATE AND MUNICIPALITY PLUNDER. It is, however, in the payment of the octroi duties that the saloon -keepers are made to contribute to the national purse. Thus on every barrel of wine brought into Paris—no matter whether it be Mouton - Rothschild, OhatetionYquern, or the sourest piccolo or piquette that ever distorted the face of a on vivant into a grimace—a fixed ectroi duty of $9 has to be paid. This duty is divided between the State and the municipality of Paris, the lion's sbare going to the latter. On spirits 16 cente has to be peld per litre (about 3 pints). Liqueurs are taxed according to the degree of alcohol, either aft wine, ars in the case of such liqueurs as Vermouth, Boosynle, and so on, or as spirits,as with Chartreuse,Benedic- tine, and so forth. This tax is oolleated, either at the gates of Paris or at the office of the depot at Boom which is the Paris bond for wieee and spirits. ARMY COSTS VW A MINUTE. Every encouragement is given in Paris to the dealer in intoxicating liquors to tell as numb of his wares as possible.

FOUNDED ON SAND. A Great Landslide Wrecks the Town of Beadgate, England,: TWO 11111INDRED HOUSES DESTROYED. A London cable says: Late last night the people of Santigate, County of Kern were aroused by the rocking or the houses and loud rumblings underground. Walls split, ceilings broke, and foundations sunk and roofs fell. As the inhabitants fled to the streets they found large rents in the ground, and were almost overcome by noxious vapors. Everybody supposed the town was being shaken by an earthquake, and as the rumblings continued, hundreds fled in a panic to the nearest towns. A few remained behind to remove their furniture from the falling houses. The reporte carried abroad by the fugitives caused the troops in an adjacent camp to hasten to the aid of the people still in Sandgate. Soldiers and citizens worked for two hours in moving the moat valuable property from the houses and in erecting tents in the :fields about a mile outside the town for the women and chil- dren. At the end of that time the rum- bling had ceased, and an investigation was made in the town by the commander of the troops and several citizene. They found that the ground on which Sandgate stande had sunk several feet, and that a less sub- sidence had extended throughout the sur- rounding district, affecting in all about a square mile. The gas mains had been broken, and the connection of water pipes had been disturbed, so that supplies of both gas and water had been stopped. Many cottages had been wrecked completely, and the better built houses had been cracked and thrown out of plumb so that they could not be occupied with safety. Nevertheless, many of the inhabitants re- turned to town, however, towards morning. Between 5 and 6 o'clock they were fright- ened away by further subsidence of the ground and the recurrence of the rumblings. These phenomena have been repeated several times during the day, and the town is practically deserted. As far as known no lives have been lost. The disaster was caused by a landslip. The town is built upon a comparatively low cliff close to the sea. The waves are believed to have under- mined the cliff, which then settled and slipped toward the water, carrying with it the town. Two hundred houses were de- stroyed. The Consequences of Tight Lacing. It would still be premature to conclude that we have done with the practice of the ill effects of tight lacing. Were we disposed to doubt the prevalence of this custom the medical records of every day could prove its continuance, nor can we see how ib should be otherwise as long as the stiff corset re- tains its place as an article of dress. Now and then some fatal mischance is found to be traceable to its abuse, while instances in which ill -health has been the penalty are far from uncommon. Every practitioner is familiar with cases of this kind, and it needs no searching examination to convince him that among the pallid complexions and pal- pitating hearts which require his attention ROM° are directly trace- able to the pinching vanity of the corset. Why this effect should follow such a case we need hardly explain to medical readers. They can well appreciate the vicious influence of cramping pressure exercised upon the trunk and its viscera without cessation for the greater part of every day. Lot us nevertheless discuss briefly the effect of such pressure upon the different organs exposed to it. Naturally the kidneys, being deeply placed, may be expected to escape entirely from its direct action, and they constitute the sole exam- ple of such immunity. The lungs and heart suffer almost if not in equal degree, and the consequences in them case are visible in impaired respiration, defective nutrition of the blood, with consequent im- poverishment of every organ and tissue, and weskened and excited or languid cardiac action, culmbeating, mi may even happen, as in an instance lately reported, in fatal syncope. The effect upon digestion is noteworthy. There being but little space for the normal empansion of tbe stomach after eatiog, less and lees food is taken till the foolish sufferer is virtually half-starved. Constipation is a necessary sequel, and flatulent distension adds another impedi- ment to tho course of a laboring circulation and overpressed respiratory organs. Natur- ally those viscera which lie low in the pelvis likewise feel the strain, so thatalmoet every function required for healthy existence is deprived of it normal exercise. What then of health itself? And need we feel sur- prised if DOW and then the thoughtless vanity which thug exohanges every pleyeioal comfort for mere appearance leade w forfeit, of life also?

Row an Rsteeraed Pit= Regained Health and Btrength. Mr. William Dsore's Interesting Story— Ills Friends Despaired of Ilas Recovery, Dut lie OHM) Moro Mingles with Them aS *tempi), as of Yore—A Story Full Dope for Oilier Sufferers. (Cornwall Freeholder.) In this age there are few persons who do not take one or more newspapers, and it may be said with equal certainty that there are few who have not read from time to time of the marvellous cures offeoted by the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. I3ut reading is one thing, and be- hoving whet you read is another, and no doubt of the thousands who have read of the Hamilton miracle, the Saratoga miracle, the Calgary miracle and others that have appeared from time to time in the columns of the Freeholder, achieved through the agency of Dr. Williama' marvellous little pellets, many may have laid aside the paper in unbelief. While, however, thse people may not believe what happened at Saratoga or in Calgary, they would no doubt be eon- vinced if one should bring to their notice a case in their own immediate vicinity where a marvellous cure was effected through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Every one in Cornwall knows Mr. Wm. Moore, who for years has driven the de- livery waggon for Mack's Express Mills, and when it was known last winter that his health was failing rapidly, very general re- gret was expressed by a large motion of the community. His voice grew weaker, his laugh leas hearty and it ap- peared that consumption had marked him for a victim. At last he was forced to give up work altogether and keep within doors. So things were till late in the summer, when he commenced to get about again, and he steadily improved until he was once more able to take up his calling and work as of yore. What worked so marvellous a change ? A veritable miracle it was, indeed. Hearing that Dr.Williams' Pink Pills had something to do with the case, a reporter of the Freeholder called on Mr. Moore at his comfortable home on Eighth street and, fortunately, found him at home. Without any preliminary fencing the reporter said to Mr. Moore : " I am glad to see you so hearty and strong again ; the last time I saw you it seemed as if your race was about run. I have heard that your wonderful recovery is entirely due to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills; have you any objection to toll me something about it ?" " No objection at all," said Mr. Moore. "Pink Pills did mire me and I am only too glad to let the world know all about that wonderful medicine. As you know I was a very sick man; indeed my life was de- spaired of. MY WORK IS VERY TRYING and I was forced to be out in all sorts of weather, for people must eat, you know. It often happened that after lifting heavy sacks of flour or grain at the mill, I was in a profuse perspiration, and heated as I was had to drive out in the face of a fierce etorm, or with the thermometer ever so many degrees below zero. A man can't stand that kind of thing forever, and after a good many warnings I felt that something had really got hold of me and I was forced to quit work. . had heavy colds all the time, severe pains in the back and loins and no appetite whatever, I lost flesh continually until I was, as you remember, a mere shadow of my former self, and everybody that saw me thought I was dying of consumption. I doctored for a couple of months; had poultices all over me and took a great deal of medicine. I will not say that the doctoring did no good, but it didn't do much, and 1 felt as if I were never going to get better. At this time my attention was directed to Dr. W11- liame'Pink Pills for Pale People by read- ing an account of a cam that seemed little short of a miracle. A sister of my wife had used them and found them a valuable medicine and strongly urged me to try them. 1 must confess that I did so with some reluctance ; I had tried so many medicines without benefit that I despaired of finding anything to cure me, but my case was desperate and I yielded to the solicitations of my friends and purchased a supply of pills from Mr. E. H. Brown, the druggist I had not been taking them very long when I began to notice a difference in myself, and found my appetite, which had been almost entirely gone returning. I continued to take the 1'1)31:Pills and found my strength gradually returning—something I had despaired of, In a few weeks I had so far improved that I was able to go around, and was con- stantly gaining strength. I not only relished my food, but it did me good, and I saw that I had at last hit upon the right remedy. Well, to make a long story short, I continued to use Dr. Williams Pink Pills until my old-time strength had fully returned and I was able to go back to work.

It was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that restored me, and I know them to be a grand medicine, and would urge everybody whose symptoms are like mine to profit by my experience. My case may not be so wonderful as some I have read of, but it is miracle enough for me, and I can never say enough about Pink Pint:, they are beyond any praise I can give them. I can only URGE ANY WHO ARE IN DOUBT to give them a fair trial and I am confident they will never regret it.

HER LIFE ONE OF SELF-DENIAL. The "Spm Girl" sod Her Devotion to Her Work, (Boston Sunday Herald.) Could you do it ? If you were a young lady of leisure, in your own happy home, , if you were a secceasful and henored school teacher, if you were a bright, geeing stenographer or typewriter with A good. position, or, in short, if you were a young woman with a happy and promesroue end easy life, hill of pleasant) inteiests opening out before you, could you give it all up and go and live in the slums, as does the slum girl of the Salvation Army? We are apt to think of tbe Salvation Army girl, in her bonnet of blue, and with her tambourine, as someone who spends, her time in a eort of religious jollification, and a good many people of supeorefinement have been inexpressibly shocked by her rather (to their thinking) boisterous methode of praising the Lord. But the " slum girl is another genus, and one by no means ao well knocsia. In fact, she does not wish to be known C1t all except by her comrades and her people" —that is, the people who live in what we call the " slums," Once we are pleased to allow slums to be, If more of us had the true spirit of the Salvation Army there wouldn't be any flume. The " slum girl "—there are only four of them in Boston, but they are to be found in London, New Yorke Chicago and all large cities—lea-ves her home, her friends, her occupations, her amusements, her books, all that she so enjoyed and took pleasure in, and goes down into "tbe slums" to live and work. She has always - with her another "slum girl" for company and protection. They have a httle tene- ment of two rooms, poorly furnished, in the poorest location that can be found for them. Here they live, plainly, simply, almost beyond belief. Their addiess cannot be made known to you. It may be at the north end, or at the south cove, but if you wish to communicate with them you must do it through the headquarters cf the Salva- tion Army. But here they live lives of utter self-abnegation'working am oeg and for their neighbors, doing good, tervieg a kind turn whenever and wherever arm to - whom they find opportunity, and they do find it daily, hourly. They do not like to talk about their work, these "slum girls." Of course it's hard. It means nursing and tending babies, going in, perhaps, and tidying up some ignorant, careless woman's house or one room, hem almost incredible filth, doieg, in short, any- thing that needs to be done, setting the while the example of pure, clean, wholesome living, but living of the plainest, poorest sort, such alone as their neighbors in the - slums could afford. One "slum girl" will do for a type of many. This one, no matter who she is or where she work, for she says hereelf that • it is not she, but God in her pereonalit y, gave up everything she held dear and came to live and labor among the poorest dent the poor in the slums, amens; that "other /n" hall' of which so few of us know how they live. She was a school teacher in Brooklyn, for five years an honored teacher in the Public Schools. She went to Dr. Hall's churco, and it was while sitting in his church one day eisjoying the beauttful services that the thought came to her that she was not shar- ing with others the good things she so en- joyed. From this time ehe began to do mission work, in a very email way at first, . but with her work constantly enlarging, yet • from the idea of joining the Salvation Army, had it been then proposed to her, she would have recoiled with horror. But something worked within her mind and hear's, and after weeks of struggle she gave up her position in the Public School, gave up her church, her home, her friends, joined the Salvation Army, and went tolive and work in the slums, a daily, hourly ex- ample of goodness in the midst of poverty and vioe. Could she have done it, do you think, unless she had been called of God". She says • not. To one such girl the question ie put: "But you are an educated weir:an, chn't you ever long for society, for books, for intellectual companionship?" And this is wh t she answers: "1 lay one night on the floor. axid I cried aloud and said, God, I am brain - hungry.' Then she goes on and tells you Incident after incident of her work, but not, the: says, "to be put in the paper." "My peo- ple are sensitive, and I cannot abuse their confidence." So you listen, tisking the while a mental photograph of the bright, sweet, sensible face, crowned by the low dark hair, of the trim figure gowned in plain dark blue, with the great gingham apron, and the shawl thrown over the shoulders, for the " siurn- giri" does not dress as do the other Salvation Army girls, and but for the badge and the letter "El " you would not know her. But her people know her, and as she walks along in their midst, a Vette of the 19th e century, they give her greetings on every hand. Really, after all, the work of the "slum girl " is almost exactly that of the "college settlement," of which we are hearing so. much, with the exception : the "slum girl" has not money and influence behind her. The " ebum girl " of the Seivation Army is seldom seen oub of the altims—she is al-‘ ways in evidence there. But when you see her, don't look at her with indifference or curiosity. Regard her, and remember her with respect, with friendly feeling and with - tender sympathy. It le in your power too, to lend her a helping hand, to encourege her, and sustain her in her week.
