Eventide and What My Friend Told Me-A Reminiscence. We sat in the twilight at the close of a beautiful day, my new friend and I. There had been much to talk of, and now, just at dusk, our hearts were too full for words. I was thinking of the difference, in many respects, in our two lives; wondering if, with'wealth at my disposal, a fond mother to carry out my slightest wish, suitors of high degree at hand, I would set all aside as unselfishly as she and devote my life to the temperance cause. As we sat,-happy in o'ur silent companionship, some one enter ed quietly and lighted the open fire. Aroused from onr reverie, my friend aniicipating my wish to talk, drew nearer. It was cozy in that spacious library of hers, filled with choice books and pic tures, and, as I watched the fire light flicker, I felt that there was a common experience in our lives, which, bridging over all differences,cemented our friend ship. ~It was sorrow. -the great teacher, and, pain, the soul re finer, who had visited us both and left us with unshed tears. As we opened our hearts to each other that night, my friend told me of her promise to her father. How she had been much to him, and he, her hero- how in his illness she bad attended 'to his business, been his helper and adviser; how care had come to be necessarypas of her young life. Then the blow came; her father grew weaker, and one night. lay dying. He called her to him and asked-her to promise that she would do all she could for the cause he had always loved, the cause. which needed assistance-the t e in p e r an c e cause. Nearly overcome with grief, sheshad promised him,and soon he was with her no longer in bodily presence. During 'the long illness which followed and the succeeding days of return ing strengh, the thought of her promise had.been constantly in mind. How should she fulfill it? She had never heard of -the Wo man' Christian Temperance Un ion; but one day, while thinking, of her promise, she came across a leanlet signed "Womin's Chris-' tian Temperance Union," and in which was Mrs Stevens' name. This was an important moment in h'er life. She immediately wrote to Mrs Steven's, asking for information concerning this temperance society, and the con ditions of membership. A prompt reply gave her - the 'desired in -formation, and soon under her directiorr a Woman's Christian Temperance Union was formed. -This was her first work for temn perance, and from that time ~many ways and means of work .ing had been revealed to hers Setting aside travel and edu ecation, except as it tended to -ward furthering the work, giv-' ring up society life and worldly :amusements, she devoted her self to study and work along the temperance line. Particularly was she interested in the Young Woman's branch, more common ly called the Y's, and in this con nection she had' charge at one~ time of the White Shield Club in Boston. Thus had she fiulfilled her promise to her father. and, as 1 looked at the badge which she. wore, gleaming in the fire light, the little bow of ribbon took on a new and deeper mean ing-MABELr FREESE-DENNETT, Bangor; Maine. Deaths From Intemoerance. -We wonder if an end can ever Ibe put~to the peregrinations of -that pious fraud that poses so -often as a temperance argu :ment-the allegation that "one ~hundred thousand men fill drunk :ards' graves in this country every year." If it takes the truth to shame the devil, he will never be sh'amned by this over worn guess. ' About a million deaths occur in this country yearly, of which 550,000 are among the male portion of the population. But of these, 200,000,at the very lowest calculation, are boys too young to be drunkards. The common' estimate, therefore, would require us to believe that one of every three adult men who dies is counted a sot. We do not suppose that anybody of ordinary observation is equal to that imagination. Or if "men" in the common statement is not meant to exclude women. it is equally impossible to conceive that women drunkards can be numerous enough to fill up the male deficit in the 100,000. The truth is that all deaths in this country which physicians attri bute to alcoholism run less than 5,000 in the course of a year. No body can tell with any exactness just how many there are, for vi tal statistics are not closely kept in most parts of the nation, but the 5,000 is certainly an over estimate. To be sure, there should alsobecharged against the drinking habit all those cases where drinking men die from acute illness that total abstain ers would probably resist and, from another point ;of view, the murders done by drunken men ought to be set to the same hor rid aceount. But everything taken together. no hun d r ed thousand could be made up. The truth about the -liquor curse is A,* dradful enno-gh and the Interior adheres to the principle, which it Aries t6 practice, that no cause is benefitted by overestimates, even though at the moment they may seem to produce great er impression.-InterierChicago.

A few years ago among the kentucky mountaineers,a young man not much beyond his boy hood, surrounded by evil, and ,only evil associations, developed naturally into an evil manhood. Strong and capable, his ability found outlet in bloodshed and murder. The result was his short life was closed on thie gal lows in expiation of his crime. His mother, who stood on the outskirts of the crowd, watched with dry, blood shot eyes his last struggle. One tried to com fort her as she sat by his dead body. IAi," she said"Tom haint never had no chance. He never had a chance like yo'uns got 'thout asking for it:if he had, he mought have been like you'ns. I didn't know nothing to teach him, and his pap didn't know nothing but how to shoot and drinkwhiskey. He never had no chance to go to school -nor to church-no he never had no chance to do any thing but like he did and;he done it." It was to give a "chance" to such- boys as these that the Sue Bennett school-was built under the auspices of the Woman's Home Mission Society. . The school has fulfilled its purpose to hundreds of boys who in cab in homes are cut off from school and church who only need the help and light of a Christian ed ucation to develop them into good citizens and true-men. Miss Belle H. Bennett, who is superintendent of mountain work has been untiring in her efforts to have this school well equipped and her efforts have been crown Ad with succes. A boy's dormi tory has recently been added with twenty'five rooms large enough for two boys, called Memorial Hall as theyv have all been .furnished in memory of some loved one, as was request ed by the Board of Home Mis sions. So we see that not only to for eigners do we. minister, but the neglected of our own race are cared for through this God bless ed institution of the church. La dies of Manning, rise up and realize your responsibility and your privilege by uniting with this society and even by much self-denial give part of your time and money to this great work.

WashingtonApril 11.-A wide departure from the usual beaten path of Coigressional oratory was made in a speech delivered to-day by Mr.McDermott af New Jersey. whose attendance upon the House this session has been infrequent on account of illness. He spoke under the elasticity of the rules governing debate when the House is in committee of the whole on the State of the Union. He said: With the approach of Easter come the stories of threatened massacre in Russia. Men and boys, women and girls, babes in mothers' arms to be slaughtered by savage bigots in whose brains the Russian GreekChurch seems to have left no trace of mercy. In the name of Christ and the Cross men calledChristians have tortured and slaughtered men, women and children during-1,800 years. In the name of the Ci'css bigots have persecuted each oth er, the Jew and the -heathen. During 1,700 years of the Chris tian era nearly every fanatic who evolved from his mean and miserable brain a "command from Heaven" - cheerfully and iligently persecuted those of his felloivmen who disagreed with his insanity. Around the stake, in qthe torture chamber and on the field of battle "Chris tian soldiers" have been trans formed into wild beasts, sparing none. While engaged in the congenial occupation of murder ing each other, frenzied zealots f nearly all theChristian creeds have made c o m m o n cause tainst the Jews. The world 1as been drenched with their >lood. as though God had given :ominandment for the extermin ttion of these whom the Old restament nominates His chosen :hildren. Mr McDermotttraced the his .ory of persecution of the Jews mnd declared that it was not un il=Christianity had obtained omination that they were per ecuted because they had refused ;o "acceot Christ." He con ;inued: From then the spirit of op >ression has grown. Persecu ion of the Jews because they tre Jews is today tolerated in >ut few parts 'of the Christian vorld, so far as the statute books o;but the spirit that is breathed n the words 'Christ killer' is ound in the eyes and on the ongues of Christians in the new ,rorld as well as in the old. It s not difficult to find the cause >f this. Many people are, after fashion, taught the Bible;somne ead it. Nearly all who are ~aught it and many of those who ~-ead it get the idea that nearly 1,900 years ago the Jews cruci ed Christ, that his cruel death s ever to be a subject of sorrow, ad that the Jews are. unless bey give evidence by conver ~ion, that they join in that sor -ow. to be hated and hounded ven into death. Against these ews who refuse to forsake the >eliefs of their fathers, the big ts of the Russian church pro ~eed with sword and torch, and ever so ferociously as on the mniversary of the day when hrist is supposed to have risen ~rom the dead. We cannot effectively remon ~trate to the Russian Govern nent to ifiterfere. We can, ob erving every pi opriety, ask hat the..power of the church be ised to 'prevent recurrences of >rutaities that shock the civil zed world. We can do more han this; We can _set an ex mple; we can teach the men, ~vomen and children of our own Land to array themselves on the side of truth; we can teach in press and pulpit that the state& nent that Jesus Christ was cru itied by the Jewish nation is the wickedest falsehood that vr fell from human lips. If brist was a mortal, if He was the Son of Joseph and Mary, born in the good old fashioned ay. He was crucified by the Ro ans. If He wass the Son of od, He was crucited by the di ection of His Father. Under ieither proposition. can the Jews e held accountable. If He was e morta, He was the pris mer of- Rome, land the Jews. as race,never cried for His blood. After a review of the evidenice n the-Gospels Mr. McDermott oncl uded: To the Jews of 1900 years ago nd to the Jews of today the eTestamen.t did not and does 1tappeal with sufficient force o produce belief. When the Christians in the early days pa~hielled about their creed the es were not raided. in the ~ourth centur-y the creed was ~ettled. The Jews said and yet a that this creed is beyond Liu man comprehension. T h e Lrouble with them is that they lacked and yet lack faith, and it is sure that no one without faith an c1e a r 1y understand that feed. To any one with faith it is as clear as the book of Reve [ations. Not havinig faith the Jews have not understood and not understanding they have not accepted.9 Is not- their pun ishment -prescribed? Are they not to suffer i~n hell everlasting? Are they not-to- be boiled and >aked nd burned through count Less trillions of years? This will, s. I understand it, be sufficient to satisfy an offended God. Why then should the prospect not be sufficient to satisfy those who believe in peace on earth good will to men and the possibility of Hell hereafter. Let the C h ur ch of Russia speak. Let thelCzar speak. He is the head of that Church. Not one in a thousand Russians The Russian.Greek Church has in its possession many bushels of relics. It has sticks and stones and bones and rags. It proclaims that it has a garment worn by Christ; that it has some of his blood; that it has a picture of the Blessed Virgin drawn by St. Luke; that'it has the hand of St. Mark and the bones of the proph et Daniel. Let the churches of Russia resound with the cry that the hand of St. Mark is the hand of a Jew. Tell tne -people that the garment of Christ was worn by a Jew. Tell these who crowd the churches that on the day of fir al judgement Jesus Christ will hold court with twelve Jews as jsociate judges. Tell the con gcregations that those who mur (ler Jews will be condemned to eternal punishment. Use the relics. The day will come when they will be cast aside, but the day is many generations afar. While they are paraded let it be in the cause of humanity. The Russian Greek Church has done little or no good on this earth. It has not taught peace and good will;it has walkedgwith the wicked and the cruel. It has not done its'duty to the age in which it is tolerated. In the g r e a t e r part of the civilized world, flphilosophy, science and commerce have secured men from the fangs of ferocious big ots. We no longer believe that God employs the merciless to execute his commands. We no longer, believe that the blood of infants is demanded by a heavenly fiend. We have not yet fully learned the lesson of true toleration, but we are advancing. It would be impossible today for a King who had murdered his wife to successfully start a new Chris tian church, or for a man who had burned his friend at the stake to be heard on religious questions. It is impossible to estimate how much this advance will be aided if the Rilssian church will display on every cathedral, on every m e e t i n g house,on every altar,the legend: "Remember that Christ was born of a Jewess. He was not cruci fied by the Jews, but died be cause His death was commanded by His Father, the God whom you worship."-The N. Y. Sun. uGrow Strong Again.

He is called op probriously the "tiger of the seas" or th'sailor's foe" or any other scurril us name which happens to be handy. Much mud is thrown at him, and as he seldom finds a defender most of it sticks. Hard lines this! Because in reality this blue water bogy is a hum ble and usefu'public servant, who per forms unconmplainingly the duties con ected with the sanitation of the seas. Thc shark is' the common scavenger and general undertaker of the ocean. Ee is not and, for reasons connected with his very moderate speed limit, never can be primarily a fish of prey. Open any captured shark and you will ind clear proof that this is so. A few tangled bits of rope yarn, a battered corned beef tin, a corked bottle con taining an insulting message to' the inder (thrown overboard by some aatical wag) or a sailor's cap which has been lost in a gale, all tend to show that the shark is a fish of businesslike habits, with a keen eye to any chance windfalls which may come in his way. But the more digestible contents of his stomach, consisting mainly of carrion of every kind, all give.the clearest ol factory evidence that the origial own ers of them were not, allve--in fact, were very much dead-when this ma ine sanitafy inspector came along and, condemning them as nuisances, removed them into his own internal refuse bin. A large accumulation of carefully collected evidence on this point proves conclusively that there are, as a matter of fact,, only two .articles of his or dinary menu which the shark is able to capture alive-namely, an occasion a.l unwary sea fowl which he may hap pen to surprise asleep on the surface f the water, and the ugly, octopuslike squid, whose limited powers of loco motion give a chance to our hungrf four knot prowler. The shark, then, so far from being the gore dyed pirate which the novel 1st paints him, is a mere hardworking, commonplace drudge, and as such de serves, if not kindness, at any rate, tol eration.-Pearson's Magazine.

The na ives make drums out of shells, tree trunks or earthenware, covered with the skin of some wild animal or some times with india rubber. Of the origi nal calabash drums there is probably only one specimen in Europe. Some of he drums are highly ornamented either by painting or carving. One specimen, indeed, has puzzled travelers, for there is depicted on it unmistaka bly a cross and also a head of European type. A drum found in upper Lualaha has a unique peculiarity in the way of a "sympathetic cord," formed by means of a small tube ingeniously inserted in the aide of the instrument, which causes, when the drum is beaten, a vi bration resembling that of the reed HAYSTACK MONUMENT. Marks Birthplace of Foreign Mission Work In This Country. Many a visitot to Williams .college is taken to the birthplace of 'American foreign missions, marked by a unique monument in a little park near the col lege grounds. For once in.the history of the world a prayer meeting Is commemorated by a monument. In Mission park in Wil liamstown stands a shaft which 'was dedicated on Sunday, July 28, 1867, to the memory of five students of Wil liams .college who met at the close of one sultry summer day in the year 1806 to hold a prayer meeting, as was their custom. They were overtaken by a sudden shower of rain and were com pelled to seek the friendly shelter af forded them by a neighboring hay stack. The group of young evangelists who were present at the prayer meeting on that particular occasion consisted of Samuel J. Mills. James Richards, Fran cis L. Robbins, Harvey Loomis and Byram Green. Sheltered from the rain by the hay stack. they continued amid tlk conflict of the elements their devotional exer cises and discussed religious topics of deep interest to themselves. While the storm raged Mills communicated to his fellows the plan of executing a great life work. It was nothing less than a mission to some heathen land and the ultimate evangelization of the world. They communicated their plan to such of their fellow students as they. believed would sympathize with .them and organized th~e Society of Brethren, a secret society, which had for its ob ject the establishment of forieign mis sions. The result of the prayer meeting was the organization in Bradford. Mass., in 1810 of the American board of com missioners for foreign missions. From this start grew the great society of the American board, which has distributed millions of dollars. Since the first meeting of five persons its corporate and honorary members have increased to over 70.000. Years after the students had formed their great scheme of evangelization the spot where they held the prayer meeting was marked by a cedar stake. This. led to the purchase of Mission park by the alumni of Williams col lege and in 1867 to the erection and dedication of what is now known as Haystack monument. The-cedar stake monument became marble through Harvey Rice of Cleveland, who de signed and at his own expense reared the prayer meeting site marker. The monument stands on the iden tical spot where the haystack stood.

' One well known New York woman has discovered, like some others of her sex, that it does not pay to be too curi ous. One of the old family retainers is a Scotchman named William, who does not believe in glossing over the truth for the sake 'of sparing his listener's feelings. -The woman in question,. al though possessed of considerable charm of manner, is not a beauty am:1 knows it. , Her husband, recently deceased, was a remarkably handsome man, and, his wife was one of his sincerest ad mirers. One day when she was looking at her husband's picture on the m~antel In the sitting room William was-'fuss ing around the grate, and in a moment of impulse she asked: "William, what do you think made such a handsome man as Colonel S. marry such a plain woman as me?" William looked fr'om the portrait to the speaker, meditated a second and answered: "Must have been heaven's will, ma 'am." Bean the The Kind You Have Aiways Bought Bignature A Plea For Soup. A learned doctor, pleading for soup on every dinner table, says: "A person comes to dinner weary and hungry and needs first something to stimulate the secretions of the stomach. The first course, hot soup, does" this by its action upon the nerves which control the blood vessels. Taking the soup slowly is an aid to digestion, and if not a favorite dish fish or oysters can be substituted, serving the same pur pose. The joint br roast can then be taken with benefit to..the system, and the game, vegetables and sweets should follow in their order, not nec essarily in courses for the plain fam ily dinner, however."

The legend of St. Swithin is an example that will occur to every one: St. Swithin's day, if thou dost rain, For fortj? days it will remain; St. Switnin's day, if thou be fair, I Foi forty. days 'twill rain nae mair. St. Swithin, bishop Qf Winchester, ace cording to the author-of "The Popular Antiquities," was "a man equally not ed for uprightness and humility. So far did he carry the latter virtue that on his deathbed he requested to be buried not within the church, but out side the churchyard on the north of the sacred building, where his corpse might receive the eavesdroppings from the roof and his grave be trodden by the feet of passersby. His lowly request was complied with, and in this neglect ed spot his remains reposed till about 100 years afterward, when a fit of pious indignation seized the clergy at the fact that the body of so holy a member of their order was allowed to occupy such a position, and on an ap pointed day they all assembled to con vey it with great pomp to the adjoin ing cathedral of Winchester. When they were about-to commence the cere mony a heavy rain burst forth and con tinued without intermission for the forty succeeding days. The monks in terpreted this tempest as a warning from heaven of the blasphemous nature of their attempt to contravene the di rection of St. Swithin, and instead of disturbing his remains they erected a chapel over his grave." "St. Swithin is christening the apples" Is the more po etical way of describing St. Swithin's rain. Bear the I h Kind You Hav u Away B0ght Signature of Etiquette of Cannibalism. "Even among the savages of French Africa, who cat human flesh, there are differences," said Paul Pucci, a young Italian traveler. "Some while ago, when exploring in that country, I learn ed a good bit about the ways of the various tribes. In a majority of thefi cannibalism is indulged only when the bodies are those of prisoners taken in battle. It is all right to eat persons who belong to hostile clans, but it .would be a gross violation of tradition and the custoii of the land to feast upon the friends or even upon mem bers of the same tribe. This delicacy of sentiment, however, is not universal, and in one tribe in particular, where I noted the absence of any old persons, I learned that it was the proper thing to add the aged inhabitants to the lo cal food supply.
