The Children's boclety returned them to their parents in the national capital. Crowded Civilization. In a way Europe itself was outgrown. Draw a line from Konlgsburg on the Ltnltic to Odessa on the Ulack sea. West of that lies a stretch of country,' highly favored by climate and water communication. Out it is now rapidly feeling its relatively smalt size. It would bold comfortably between Key West and Chicago, the Aroostook and Mobile. Yet within it are crammed halt a dozen civilisations, a dozen lan guages and well night twenty armies, three quarters of which are in a high state of efllcloncy. Tho hostile lines of competing tariff systems are Just as numerous; while a multiplicity of traditions, In which war and religion play a great part, are hopelessly rooted In a past that la not altogether edify ing. Imagine all this In between Chi cago and New York, and how unhappy we Bhould be! Century Magazine. Traits of the Camel. 'Tho camel," says an oriental prov erb, "curses Its parents when It has to go uphill and Its maker when It goes down." Still, this is hardly to be wondered at, for It is a well vis tabllshed fact that even young camels never play. They are born sad, and thereafter thalr life is one protest against being made to work, although work has been their portion since the beginning of the memory of man. How largely they have been domesticated from the earliest times we know from the statement that Job possessed 6,000 camels. ;Conduci?a hy tti National Woman's Christian Ti-nipemiu Ualen.) EVEN THE UNDERTAKER. A certain temperance lecturer at one point In bis address is in the habit of taking out his gold watch and say ing. "I will give this watch to any one present who wilt arise and tell me one class of people In the world that has ever been benefited by the saloon." lie made that offer all over this country, and no one ever took it up, until one gentleman stood and said: "I think I can tell you one class." "What'a that?" "The undertaker." My friend was about to unchain his watch and hand It over, when an old man arose and said: "Hold on! Be fore you give away that watch allow me to say that I have been the under taker In this community for 35 years, and I have buried a great many of,that kind of people; but whenever I am called upon to lay away an oM soak or any member of his family I al ways know It's a charity job; that I shall never get the money. I should be much better off today if I had never had to bury one such case." TROUBLE FOR J. BARLEYCORN. There is a doughty fellow, prim favorite and boon companion of our ancestors, who is "getting in bad" with the present generation all over the world. His name la John Barleycorn. Peace and war, foreign climates and lands at home, all alike spell trouble for John. In the United Slates be dodges around the corner at the men tion of votes for women, and has been evicted from several states where women do not vote. In Russia, he is exiled on the plea of military neces sity. In Germany be finds himself out of favor with the kaiser; in France he Is Jailed on suspicion of lack of patriotism; in England he Is tolerated chiefly that ho may be taxed, and is dubbed a lowbrow, even then. Chicago Journal. COST TO THE GOVERNMENT. Writing on the question of rev enue, sometimes a disconcerting on to temperance advocates, Daniel A. Poling, superintendent of the citi zenship department of the Christian Endeavor society, aptly points out that the fact that the voting out of the saloon has never been responsible for the raising of taxes anywhere sug gests the real answer to this ques tion. "When the American govern ment," says Mr. Poling," once meas ures the almshouses, reformatories, asylums for the insane and peniten tiaries for the criminals, and the In direct cost in Impaired efficiency, broken character and sterile homes, It will strike forever from the lips of Us people this cup of economical and financial woe." CHIME. PKUUUbtH. Liquor Is the greatest of all crime producers. Out of 1,150 prisoners in the prison at one time, 963 were eith er drinking or were drunk at the time of the crime, or the deed was planned In a saloon. Two hundred and twelve out of 226 cases of mur der were due to liquor." Re. Orvllle L. Kipllnger, Chaplain of the Indiana State Prison. "DRY" TOWNS SCORE HIGH. Out of fifty-three high school teams at Stanford, Cal., that competed for athletic honors, the six that scored highest came from "dry" towns. At the Interscholastlc field meet, at Berkeley, same state, sixty-seven high schools were represented, and their three leading teams were also from "dry" towns. LABORING MEN PROSPER. "Do more laboring men own their homes now than under the saloon re gime?" This was one of sixteen questions sent to fifty cities and towns of Tennessee some time ago. The replies showed an Increase of 48 per tnt In the number owning their own homes since prohibition went Into ? feet. A PATRIOTIC DISTILLER.

FUNCTIONS OF BRAIN. The labc formed and highest func tion of the human brain, called cca- ' eclousness of right and wrong, Is the first to become palsied from the toxio action of alcoholic spirits. This palsy Is a teebleness to recognize the ethi cal relation of life and surroundings. Dr. T. D. Crothers. Real Meaning of Love. When love Is heard Inviting more trust, more love, the encouragement to trust, to love, goes beyond the rebuke that our love Is so little, and we take heart to conlldo In the love that is saying, "Give me thine heart," expect ing that It will impart Itself to us, and enable us to give the response of Jove which It disires. For Indeed H must be with the blessed purpose to enable as to love him that our God bids as love him; for he knows that no love but what he himself quickens In us can love him. Therefore always feel the call to love a gracious promise ol strength to love, and marvel not at trour own deadness, but trust In him who qulckenoth the dead. John Mcl Campbell , .
