New Orleans Times Democrat : Ilo virtue is so essential to euecese as sobriety. The necessity of prae. tieing it is equally imperative in every department of life. Whether a man's lot be high or lowly, he must avoid excessive indulgence iu alcoholic stimulents or he is euro to Dome to grief sooner or later, An American exchange points out that the consumption of malt liquors is greatly on the increase in the United States, In 1840 there -were consumed in the United States 2,3,000,000 gallons of malt liquors, or 1.80 gallons per head. In 1887 the amount has increased to 717,- 748,854 gallons, or 11.08 gallons per head. The exchange does not .give Lhe amount ofspirituous liquors 'consumed ; but it may be taken for granted that it is on the decreneo. With such a per capita rate of bear ,consumption there must neoeeearily be a decreasing demand for the .regular old "red eye" of former .days. A CHAPTER OF SNAKES. The "People" publishes the fol- lowing significant chapter on snakes : "Twenty-five snakes running through streets—that's 'free whir• key.' "Twenty-five snakes gathered in a box, in which twenty-five holes are made by the authority of the court—that's 'low license.' "Ten of the holes aro closed, and the enakee all get out through the other fifteen—that's 'high license.' "Drive all the snakes over to the next village—that's local option." "Kill all the snakes—that's pro. Bibi kion." Away with the eerpente of the still ! A PROHIBITION 11IANIFESTO. Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, the pro hibition candidate for the Presi- dency of the United States, has issued a letter of acceptance in re- sponse to the nomination. He ex - .presses the opinion that within a few years the temperance reform .leas altogether changed front. In the great conflict which has been :and is yet waging, the temperance forces no longer face the human ap• petite and habit alone ; they oppose legislation, law, the purpose of pm Initial parties, the policy of state and nation. What law creates, law alone can kill. The creature 4of law, the saloon, the liquor traffic, can die only ab the law's hand, or the hand of the Iaw'e executor. Con- eeived in avaricious iniquity, born of sinful legislative wedlock, the licensed saloon, the legalized liquor 'traffic, bastard child ore civilization sprofeseing purity and virtue, must sbe strangled by the civilization whish begat it, or that civilization <must. go forever branded with the scarlet letter of its own shame. The General holds that no party which is made public administrator =by the enemies of temperance, or which owes the election of its can. didates •to saloon influences, can ever establish prohibition as a bind- ing fact in government anywhere. The Democratic party, in its platform, utters no word in con- demnation of the greatest foe to the republic—the liquor traffic. That .party baying steadfastly, in its ut. -terances at national contentions, maintained its allegiance to the American saloon, it was no disap• pointment to any one that at St. Louis, in 1887, it reaffirmed its old position on this, the greatest gees• tion now being debated among :men. He says lie has searched the Re- publican platform in vain to find a -condemnation of the saloon, or hint of a purpose to assail it, or any sign of mortal consciousness that -the saloon is a curse, and its in- come too unboly for a nation to share. If the "chief concern" has not a place in the party's platform, .and a party has no policy tie to that "chief concern'" that party does not deserve the eupport of men who love ::good government and world see it .maintained. The prohibition party's "chief ,concern' is for a party of the home, and the virtue and eobriety of the people. It asserted this in plain and unmistakeable lerme at Indian- apolis ; and it further plainly said that "the burdens of taxation should be removed from clothing and other neceseariee of life." It is today ,the only avowed and consistent party wbieh the home and labor have, for it would 'make the bless- ings of home cheap, and remove altogether ite curses, It would bring labor to sobriety and lustre give to the whole industrial system the impetus and proeperity never yet known, and never possible till the salamis are put away• Definition. of Bible Terme.

The attack Domes on every Sunday ; no symp- toms are felt on Saturday night ; the patient sleeps well and awakes feeling well; eats a hearty break• fast, but nbout church time the at- tack comes on and continues until services are over for the morning. Then the patient feels easy and eats a hearty dinner. In the afternoon ho feels much better and is able to take a walk, talk polities, and read the Sunday papers ; he eats a hearty supper, and about church time be has an other attack and stays home. He retires early, sleeps well and wakes up Mondry morning refreshed and able to go to work, and does not have any symptoms of the disease until the following Sunday. The peculiar features of this dis- ease are as follows : 1. It quite often attacks members of the church. 2. It never makes its sppearanoe except on the Sabbath. 8. The symptoms vary but it never interferes with the Bleep or appetite. 4. It never lasts more than twon. ty-four hours, 5. It generally attacks the head of the family. 0. No physician is ever called in to attend the patient. 7. Religion is the only antidote that will cure. 8. It is becoming fearfully prey. alent, and is sweeping thousands every year prematurely to destruc- tion. Household Hints. A Balt ham should he soaked over night in plenty of soft water pre. vious to boiling. Use a warm knife in cutting warm bread and the like. After washing a wooden bowl, place it where it will dry equally on all sides, away from the stove. Fruit stains on white goods can be removed by pouring boiling water directly from the kettle over the spots. If you want posuhed eggs to look particularly nine, coolc each egg in muffin -ring placed at the bottom of a saucepan 9f boiling water, For ()leaning brass use a thin paste of plate powder, two table. spoonfuls vinegar, four tablespoon- fuls of alcohol. Rub with a piece of flannel ; polish with chamois. A paste of whiting and benzine will remove spots from marble. Be very partteular about disie footing the kitchen sink, Washing soda, two tablespoonfuls to a gallon of boiling water, makes an excellent wadi to pour hot into the sink at night nfter you have finish- ed using it. Hive syrup is good for creep or inflammation of the lungs, It must be kept in a cool place, for if it sours it is very poisonous. A. creaking hinge can be cured by the use of a black lead pencil of the softest number, tho point rubbed into all the ereviees of the binge. Corks may be made air and water tight by keeping them for five minutes under melted paraifrne. They must be kept down with a wire sereen, eWhen the dish•towola begin to wear, fold them together, the beet outside, as small or as large as you lute, end run together around and across through the venire with WWar'ne thread. We have removed the very worst THE ,ia,FUSSEL,S POST ink stains from carpets of vary delicate calors by rubbing thein with skim -Milli, and when they aro aluloet effaced, washing then with n cloth wrung out in boiling ;rater without soap, Then cover the place with a dry cloth, and let it remain so fora day. All sorte of veseels nud utensils may be purified from long -retained smells of every kind, in the easiest and most perfect manner, by rtes- ing them out well with charcoal powder after the grosser impurities have been scoured off with sand and water. Where writing implements aro used but seldom, the pens are apt to be rusty. To prevent this, keep them in pearline, the compound used for laundry purposes. Tillie a email dish, fill it with the powder, stick the pens down into it, and when you want one you will find it nice and bright. Suet should be cooped bef.tre it is stale. Boil for two or three hours, then strain through a linen cloth. One-fourth of this fat and three- fourths lard is a good mixture for frying doughnuts. Fashions Notes'. Long, loose, much -wrinkled Lan Suede gloves are revived. Coiffures grow higher, but the Psyche retsina its share of fashion. able favor. The fashionable colors for the early fall are pearl gray, ohve, and absinthe green, reseda, and Lucifer red. The prettiest of all hats for a little girl is n wide -brimmed Leg- horn, trimmed with one long, curl. ing, full ostrich plume. No woman of taste will use Luoi• for red or absinthe green for nn en- tire toilet, or even a large part of a composite costume. Tho favorite material for little children's travelling dresses on the other side is brown holland, trimmed with ecru lace, colored bows, and colored buttons. Steels are beginning to disappear from shirts, and in place of bustles and steels a loose burse hair plait- ing ie worn in the back attached to the waistband under the skirt. Many gowns of dark blue serge trimmed with leather and fastened with narrow leather straps instead of buttons, for early fall wear, are in the hands of dressmakers on the other side. 007,, 191$88, r,w Lucifer red and absinthe green should be used only to give te clash of color to a sober costume, There is a now shade of crushed raspberry, vory bright and riot), but very unbecoming, as it tabes all the flesh lints nut of the be:+t complex- ion ; but for all that, 1nalish women ate very fond of this atroo• ions color. Antons; the fashions which are predicted for the next seam aro trimmings of colored loather. These leather trimmings are in the natural color of the skin, but poi, hated or glazed, not dull finished, pinked on the edges, and pricked out in rouud holes, forming patterns ou tho waistcoats, collars, cuffs, revers end belts. Gem. ofTito trg lkc. In order to love mankind, expect but little from them. Nothing is MOO) variable than the sky liud one's own soul. The wisest men have always been the most indulgent. Ono must know whether be would climb, before he sets up his ladder. A good temper generally comes from thorough breaking and discip- line. Wo can hardly learn humility and teuderneee enough except by suffering. Religion 1s the deepest study of life, and few become accomplished students in it. In ohildhood be modest, in youth temperate, in manhood just, in old age prudent. Help somebody worse off than yourself, and you will find that you are better off than you fancied. Do good to thy friend, that he may be more than your friend ; thy enemy, that be may become thy friend, If you begin by apologizing for what cannot be defended, you will end by defending what cannot be apologized for. True glory lakes root, and even spreads ; all false pretsncee, like flowers, fail to the ground, nor can any counterfeit lest long. It is with narrnw.sou]ed people as watt narrow- necked bottles—the less they have in them, the more noise they make in pouring it out. Look upward and onward. Wo learn to climb by keeping our eyes, not on the valleys that lie behind, but ou the mountains that rise be- fore us.
