The overeeers of the work were so itnpressecl with the result of their -experiment on these five thousand men that they are really preaching the use of oatmeal water to all men employed on theroad, and many of them have given up the use of beer. It has long been known that oatmeal water possesees peculiar hy-. gienic qualities for thoee who work in excessive heat, and the fire_men on the great transatlantic liners are freely supplied with it. In commenting on this fact with a man who is brought in contact with a number of laborieng men, hod -carriers and laborers in house -building, he stated that he had been obeerving the men closely, and he found that the beer-drinkieg men were worth twenty-five cents less a day to any employer than the men who did not drink, in the mere matter of the amount of work per- formed. It had also been the result of his observation that men.. who did not drink beer were not ouly able to do more work per diem, but their i)owers of endurance were far greater than those of the beer -drinking men ; that in intensely hot weather you could elmost count on the beer -drinking men being compelled to lose at lettst, half a -day every two weeks ; that the effect on the temper of beer -drinking was very bad ; that the men ..who drank beer wore irritable; had less self-control, and were more constantly engaged in a war of words with their com- panions, He ended by saying, "I would -like. to see a contractor engage his men, when undertaking a big piece of work, with the understanding that no beer was to be drunk during working hours. I believe that if he could do this he would accomplish the work with far less friction amougdthe then, and lisst friction with the „labor unions." an 1 lean-apt:lit in any nther way.

I heard more giggling and enifling along the aisle, while I was a trifle embar- rassed, you know. The lady I had disturbed laughed pleasantly and forgave me cour- teously. " Row am I to get up there, porter ?" "Clime, sah, clime,' replied the black. " Good gracious," she exclaimed, as I hoisted myself, " if the Britisher hasn't gone to bed with his boots on 1" " Everybody was now laughing at my expense, you know—and to tell the truth, I was so much amused at my adventure I I could hardly refrain from laughter myself." I Chains of Habit. Habits are formed almoat imperceptibly. But however small may be the injury done by the first indulgence of a bad habit, or by subsequent indulgences, yet each indulgence is the forging of a link in a chain which ultimately ensla,ves and Wilde the soul. Johnson well (said : " The diminutive chains of habit are seldom heavy enough to be felt until they are too strong to be broken." In the Netherlands I was shown a dark dun• geon used in the cruel inquisition thms for the punishment of heretics. In the centre of the dungeon floor yeam a large tilt stone, in which was, as if drilled, a small hole, made there by the falling of a drop of water every second, from a place contrived for the purpose in the ceiling. The dropping of that water was contrived for the most cruel and agonizing death human ingenuity has ever invented. The prisoner was bound. so as not to be able to stir, beneath the falling of the -water. Every second a drop of water fell upon the same spot of his head. At the end of the first day he began to feel a severe pain at the falling of each drop, At the end of the second day it seemed to the prisoner as if every drop were the stroke of a sledge hammer, and he was in constant pain and anguish. At the end of the third day he was a raving maniac, and screamed and prayed and cursed amid paroxysms of pain ; and during the fourth day he died id unutterable agony. So are bad habits to the soul. Drop by drop, it may be, the evil collies upon the soul, but the moral evil which results from them all causes inevit- able death. Young man, beware, beware of bad habits, Form habits of sobriety, use- fulness, religion, goodness, and these will become second naturee to you, and you will be a power for good in this world which so greatly needs your help for good and truth and righteousness. -John R, Hegeman. Women in Elections. Whether It -omen shall enjoy political equality or not is a, question that awaits the future. The women suffrage experi ments so far have made both friends and enemies for the cause. - In England, where women enjoy a limited political freedom at the polls and unlimited freedom on the platform, and mingle at will in the crowds about the polls, strange sights and sounds are sten and heard. Only recently We have read descriptions of the wife of -the noted traveler, Stanley, addressing a political meeting when the crowd shouted derisive questions at her hus- band. • The papere tell us that she received polite attention for D. time, and the papers gave her speech, which did not deal with potitical questions, hut abounded in praise of herhusband-at least a quarter of a col- umn of epace. She succeeded in drawing a declaration of conftdence from one of her hearers, who offered to vote for " Stanley's missus." On the day of the election another wife, Mrs. Cornwallie West, ad4essed a howling mob in the interest of bettblisband when the crowd refused to listen to the candidate. Rer reception was of such a character that, she was moved to protest vigorously. This may be, and is, probably, wifely de- votiou, but is it politics ? A woman is logi- cal, as she gives evidence of a knowledge of the ciuestions which the candidate repre- sents. To be dignified she should know and present the fitness of the candidate to deal with these questions. If women are to become active in politics other than by easting_invote, let them make due preparation for that activity by study and thought, and save the world the spec- tacle of a woman pleading the sacred re- lation of wife as the readn of that activity. -0- Amelia E. Barr's Home. A New York literary correspondent bss the following regarding the mountain home of Amelie E. Barr : Away _up on the mountain side, flanked on the right by Storm King mountain and on the left by Deer hili, is the pretty roadside cottage home of Amelia E. Barr. The pletop is a mute testi: mony of the novelist's success, it having been bought by her last spring from the profits of her literary "Work. It stands some 600 feet above the Hudson, with a view of landscape that stretches to the Catskills.. Here, where one feels closer to hie Creator aud farther from hie fellow men, Mrs. Barr writes the storks which bring her an income of over $8,000 a year, and make her one of the most succeesful novelists of the day. In the upper part of the house is her study,and during the glummer, daylight fiuda her at her desk. Four in the morning is not con- sidered too early an hour by Mrs. Barr to have her pen in hand, provided it is day- light. In winter she begins at 7 o'clock, Her days are methodical. She writes by hand all morning, and at 1 o'clock sits down to the best dinner procurable. Then for an hour she plays at the organ, when she re- turns to her study and transfers her morn- ing work to the type writer. Then comes a drive, then a light repast, while the evening is given over to her family and such friends as may drop in. Two of Mrs. Barr's daugh- ters reside with her ; an unmarried girl of 23 years, and her married daughter, Mrs. -Morgan. No men are about the place, a magnificent Englisinrnastiff, almost the size of a young horse, acting sei protector. In- side the home comfort reigns supreme. Flowers are profuse, and eo are books.

A great western railway company has just made an experiment among its workmen that has a moral significance. Over two hundred miles of broad gunge railway had to be transformed to narrow guage in the shortest possible time. Five thousand men were employed by the company to do this, and they worked two successive days of seventeen hours each, with only abort in- tervitls for meads. The company knew that the strain on the men would be exceptional, They also believed that if the men -took their usual tonic of beer, they would be incapable of doing the wark ; so water was supplied in which quantities of oatmeal were aoaked. This was furnished to the men freely, with the result of' proving not only to the managers of the work, but to thermen themselves, that for hard and continuous wagon, Massey -Harris binder and Full directions are with each bottle.

" Do tell me just how to cook a ha.m," said an inexperienced housekeeper to a friend who WSB uoted for her culinary knowledge. " have looked in four cook books and I can find nothing plain and simple enough fur my Birdie to follow ; they all assume that the ham is boiled or half boiled when they prozeed to treat it in more elaborate fashion-a,nd I have not au idea how to begin even. I have bought my ham -I know enough for that, and I know what are the best hams in the market, Now be- gin ancittell me just what to do with it until it ia ready to serve cold on the table." " It is very simple," seid her friend, " but I know it is as you say ; it is just the obvioua knowledge that it is hardest to find written rules for, First, soak your hem all night in water which should cover it entirely. Then set it on the fire to boil, The rule for boiling a ham is fifteen minutes to each pound, se you can easily tell by weighing it the exact length of time that it will be necessary to cook it. When it is half boiled ohmage the water, and to the last boiling add a cupful of molasses. When it is done set it to cool, and wthen it is cold enough, skin it and put it the oven to bake until the whole is nicely browned ; some people sprinkle it before putting it in the oven with brown sugar which forms a sort of glaze. " This is the simplest, way of cooking a ham, and there is none better iu my estima- tion ; but there are ail sorts of facts about what will give it various peculiar flevors, and many are the suggestions for the last boiling. Some epicures cook it in chain- pagne jiist at the last, others in beer ; many lard it with cloves. An old southero cook I once had, had a way of covering the whole ham after it was skinned with a dough paste made of flour and water and then putting it in the oven to bake. This she claimed con- fined all the juioes to the ham, aiid the re- sults she obtained were certainly delicious." - stantly on hand. It is the Best. DEARSI RS, -I have used your B. 13.
