God pity the mother whose boys will pay the penalty for this folly of voting man i Wet 1 More blood and tears for the victims of drunken - nese. Twenty five year hence people will bo astonished that the Chris- tians and reformers of this day al- lowed the tobacco aurae to grow to li; $500,000,000 magnitude, and opium to get into general use, with out any protest save from a few women and a few men, who were called fanatics for meddling with these "outside issues." No man has a right to carry on a basinese which produces results far which other men must pay heavily. The taxes of every citizen are more than doubled by the evils which flow directly from the rum traffic. The rum sellers wax fat, and the mase of taxpayers pay millions of dollars every year that they may have the privilege of doing so. Tho money that drink takes from a. man's pocket is the least of its robberies. It takes also his power to replace the money. Brain cells, nerves, tissues, muscles are all im- paired, and in the end the victim be- comes physically, mentally and morally utterly incompetent as a wage earner. It is because Pro- hibition strikes at this cause of in- dividual debasement that as a remedy for poverty it stands forth the unapproachable chief. The single tax will not do this. Margaret J. Preston's beautiful and simple article in the June ceu- tory, giving a view of "General Robert E. Lee after the War," con- tains the following :—"He bad the gentlest way possible of giving coun- sel and administering rebuke. I re. member hearing him say, in a Pres• eacewhere such testimony was worth more than a dozen temperance leo tares, `Men need no stimulant. It is something, I am persuaded, that they can do without. When I went into the field, at the beginning of tfie war, a good lady friend of mine gave me two sealed bottles of very superb French brandy. I carried them with me through the entire campaign, and when I met my friend again, after all was over, I gave back both her bottles of brandy, with the seals unbroken. It may have been some comfort to me to know that I had them in case of suddem emer- gency, but the moment never came when I needed to use them." Household Hints. When new lamp chimneys are bsolrght, place in a kettle of cold water, let it come to a boil, then set ort back of stove, where it will grad- ually cool. This is an excellent toughening process. All glassware, dishes, tumblers and the like treat. ed this way will break less easily. :deep the kettle covered tightly un- til the water has had time to cool. To expel mosquitoes, take of gum oatnphor a piece about one-third the site of a hen's egg, and evapor- ate it by placing it in a tin vessel and holding it over a lamp, taking este that it does not ignite. The smoke .will soon fill the room and espel.khe mosquitoes, and they Will not return even though the windows should be left open all night. To prevent cake adhering to the pan when baked, eeatter a little flour over the greased surface before pouring in the dough. To clean papered walls : Wipe down with a flannel oloth tied. over a broom or brush. Cut a think piece of stale bread and rub down with this. Begin at the top and go straight down. Caro must, of course, be taken not to wear upon the paper. There are many persons who can- not eat fruit, either ou account of its acidity, or the excess of sugar necessary to make it palatable. Stigar does not, of comae, counter. act acidity ; it only disguises it, and its ass in large quantities tends to retard digestion. The housewife may, therefore, bo grateful for the reminder that a pinch—a very small inoti.—o£ carbonate doh, sprink- led rink• led over the fruit previous to cook- ing, will have sugar, and will render cite dish at ono more palatable and 4orre wboleeome. 'When your stove is burned red, and planking won't stick, put a little let fried from salt pork iuto the water you diesclve your black• ing in, and try again.

Wash the linen separately and gr•icil- ly, usiug very little soap ; rinse in tepid water containing a little boiled starch ; dry in the shade, and iron when nearly dry. The results of the "bot water cure" are said by a physician to be the stimulation of the etomach at first, but after repeated use a los, soning of the tone of the digestive trade, which causes congestion and dyapopaia, Hot drinks tend to lesson bronchial irritation, and may be used profitably in some oases of consumption.

A Code Or Manners For Boys. The following clipped from the Christian Intelhgencer is the beet epitome of boy's etiquette that we have over seen. Until a boy reach- es the stage of propriety, when he sits up late and rises early to read manuals of social customs, this will help him solve moat of his puzzles 1 In the street—Hat lifted when saying 'Good-bye,' or 'Sow do you do ?' Also when offering a lady a seat, or acknowledging a favor. Keep step with anyone you walk with. Always precede a lady up. atairs, but ask if you shall precede her in going through . a crowd or public place. - At the street door—Hat off the moment you step into, a private hail' or office. Let s lady pace first alwaye, un- less she maks you to precede her. In.the parlor—Stand •until every lady in the room, also older people, are seated. Bite if a lady enters the rodm after you are seated, and stand till she takes a seat. Look people straight in the facie when they are talking to you. Let ladiee pass through a door first, standing aside for them. In the dining room—take your seat after ladies and elders. Never play with your knife, ring or spoon. Do not take your nap- kin up in a bunob in your hands. Eat as feat or as elow as others, and finish the mute when they do. Do not ask to be e1tcused before the others unless the reason is im- perative. Bits when the ladiee lei'' the room, and stand till they are out, If all go together, the gentlemen stand by the door till the ladies pass. On Friday last the thermometer registered 90 °'in the shade at Banff, N,W,T, THE BRUSSELS' A. Nen' L1st Of boleti,. Don't drink green or blaok tea. Paint it red. Don't wear high heels, and yet do not walk altogether en your uppers. • Don't eat a largo juicy steak at a boarding-house. Don't wear your bathing•euit to a aleighing•party. Don't permit a boy to eat more than fifteen tunes a clay if you Dan help it. Don't permit your servant to place fresh berries in the meat re• frigorator nukes you carry the key yonreolf. Don't oat on an empty etoinach unless you feel hungry. Don't read in street cars or jolt. ing stages. Get the conductor to read to you, Don't eat ohioken salad if bob veal does not agree with you. Don't lose your head in case of violent bleeding at the nose. Yon might need it iu your busiuees, Don't eat oucumhere or stale meats. Send them to the prenobor. Don't eat shad iu a hurry. Don't drink liquor in large Teen titles when sufferiug with delirium tremens, Don't sit with your back to a sight.draft. :Don't jump from the window When suffering with alcoholism under the impression that there are snakesiu the room. 'These eerpents are mora imaginative than real. Palling Out A 'tooth. The modern deutiet, who was un. doubtedly intended for a black- smith, takes you into an upstair office and sults you at a front win• dow, as he says for light ; you know that he is in league with the man across the street, who from an opposite window, is studying your digestive economy, and who seems to have wagered that the dentist couldn't get his fist down your throat. And this is the tvay, he pulls out your tooth : "Naha that chair, please. Now, which tooth ?'o "This one." "Ali, yes—" "Ow -ow -oh ? The other one 1" "Well, then, just a little wider— there now." Rasp—punch—scrape— "O—oo—ooh 1" and you break loose and expectorate. "Mercy," you gasp, "wouldn't it be less painful to blow it out with gun -powder ?" "Nonsense—open your mouth l" "Take me for the Afrioan sword swallower ?" "Little wider I" Gurgle—gasp— "Ouch I that's killing me 1" "Just one more pull—now 1" Up, up you go ; you see the milky way tying itself into a love knot ; your eyes bulge out, there is a roaring in your ears—a orash– and you see the dentist with the troublesome molar in his forceps, grinning as though it were the funniest thing in the world. Fashion Notes. Silk fringes are being revived again. Sailor hats of felt are among the winter novelties. The Dolor of the newest . note- paper is olive green. Cloth walking' dresses should have bonnets to match. Black dresses were never in high- er favor than at present. Every new article of English im- portation is dubbed the "Fife. A fringe half a yard wide edged the ooreage of a recently imported dress. The ides that flowers must not be worn out of season only exists in. England. Long cloaks, of a material suit- able for autumn wear, have made their appearance. Boys' dress shoes are of patent leather. Those of English make are ornamented with buckles. The derby - or the solt•erowned '•Tyrolean" are the favorite bats for boys. Faced cloth of light quality is re. commended for autumn travelling dresses. Choose poppies for your candle and lamp shades this season. Mignonette green is not lees popular than at the beginning of the summer. Blue serge is the color patroniz• ed by the Princess of Wales for her yachting costumes. A new yachting dregs has panels of a contrasting color made in the shape of oars. Traveling and dust cloaicil are frequently trimmed with pinked rnohings. Sleeves that are pulled very full on the shoulder are no longer in favor.. Fauntleroy snits for boys are prettiest when made of black velvet and ornamented with silverbuttona. r'OS'1 Oar, 4, 1889. it aiaaa 14�"� e..g ,�Y�I �1 zit. !r'YRr1 THECOOK'S BEST FRIEND Money to Loan, Money to Loan on Farm Pro- perty at LO GT'.E.''T 1.1.1TES, Private and Company Funs.
