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.

and planking won't stick, put a

To launder red table lion), use
tepid water with a little powdered
borax, which servos to set the Dolor.
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.

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.
