I have yet to hear of the every-diiy young man who buys a keg ot beer or whisky, takes it np to his cheerless room, sits down over It, and drinks merely tor the sake ot drinking." OHS BURNS OS TIMPKRANCK. The prentor part and more interesting part of hit hour's talk with John Burns, tbo Eng lish labor agitator, was on the relation of tho torn pern nee movement, wiltes Charles B. Bpahr in the Outlook. We had Just been talking of the new attitude of the chnrch toward social questions, nnd here I found hlui somewhat Indifferent, plainly regarding the change as more Important to the ohurch than to the labor movement. When, how ever, the conversation turned to the progress of the temperance movement In the rants of labor he suddenly became enthusiastic, not only upon this sublcct Itself but onthe social reform work of tbo churches in connection with it. Nothing could have exceeded his praise of whnt the Salvation Armv, in partic ular, is doing for the spread of temperance in Englnnd. lis success in reclaiming drunkards soemed to him the most wonder ful thing in recent religious history. Mr. Burns has not only been a lifelong total ab stainer but a lifelong temperance agitator, nnd, (burnt his secularism, he recognized the religious work of reclaiming lost drunk ards as something beyond the scope of "municipal statesmanship." Nevertheless, muntcipiil statesmanship nnd tomperance re form seemed to him to have so many-sided a connection ns to be essentially one. "Hos tility to public-houses," he said (I quote from memory), "runs through our labor move ment. Nearly every lender of the 'new unionism' Is a teetoatler, and among tbo lenders in tbe old unions total abstinence is gaining an altogether disproportionate hold. Even the men In the unions who drink them selves nnd growl at the unsoolabllilvofthose who don't will vote nearly every time for a temperance man to conduct the business ot the union. This accounts for the dispropor tionate teetotulism among the leaders, but temperance Is spreading among the rank and file. During my boyhood, and I am hardly mlddle-agod, it used to be charged that this, thnt, or the other labor leader had been paid 5, 10, or even 20 totcbangs themeetlngplace of the union from the Horse and Dragon to the Pig and Whistle. Nowadays the owner of a 'pub' would rather pay to get rid of a trade nnon than to have it meet at his rooms. As a matter of faot, we are not meeting at public-bouses unless weenn't help ourselves, sometimes we meet in rooms belonging to churches, often in those belonging to co operative societies, and, whenever we can, In rooms connected with town halls. Nearly every man who is prominent in the labor movement Is opposed to tbe publio-bousos. The 1G8 officers ot labor unions who signed the petition last year for the local veto (loonl option) bill included' praotlenlly the whole brains and power of tbe labor movement. Not nearly all of them were teetotalers, but they had all got that for, nt any rate. They nil know that drink is tbe cblol oauBO of pov erty. "At th s snme time thoy all believe thnt poverty is the chief onuse of drluk. Most ot our lulor-reform measures aim to reduce drunkenness by making healthier living pos sible. This is true not only of the larger measures, such as the shortening of tbe hours of labor, but it is even more directly true of our municipal reforms. We believe that the construction of municipal balls ac cessible for publio meetings in nil parts ot the cities is a direet blow nt tbe public houses. We believe that all our London county council men su res providing publio play grounds, gymnasiums, reading-rooms, nnd tho like are temperance measures. We have now in London 500 free tennis courts. The city furnishes the courts and tha frame work to support the nets. The players, of course, furnish tbeir own rackets. Almost any Saturday afternoon you may see John Burns and his wife on one of these courts. I brieve it is the healthy way to live, and the young people wbo hare these healthy re. creations are not so apt to crave tbe 'pub 1 o.' There are now so many of tbe courts that it is rarely difficult to get a chance to piny. For tho middle-aged men who don't care for tenuis we have provided quoits, ixid for tbe old fellows we are about to lay out several bowline greens." Txitrxiuxcz rsws mo rotes.

The testimony of this gifted authority upon Household Economy coincides with that of millions of housekeepers, many of whom speak from knowledge obtained from a continuous use of Royal Baking Powder for a third of a century. Photographic Competition. No better proof could bo found of the wonderful advance which bas been mado in tho art of instantaneous plio top;rapby th.n a competition whioh has just been arranged in Oonova be tween members of leading camera clnbs and photographio societies of Switzerland, France, Austria and England. The subject proposed for the competition is the deteriniuation by photography of the Bhapa assumed by a drop of wator while in tho act of falling through the air. A scries of prizes in the form of modals is offered for tho most success ful photographs. It is required thnt only distilled water shall be used ; that the sizo of the tubo from which the drop is caused to fall shall be ac curately ascertained. Moreover, it is required that it shall be known how far the drop has fallen nt tho instant it is photo graphed; and that effective precau tions shall bo taken to prevent any current of air from disturbing the drop in its descent. Only a fow years ago it would have seemed chimerical to propose such a photogrophio font ns this, but now thnt running horses, leaping athletes, f-ying bullets and lightning have been compelled to print their images on tho sensitive plate, it appears an easy thing to photograph falling water so perfectly that science may thereby learn, for tho first time, precisely, the shapo of a raindrop Tho Amusing Journal. rM thp DrtArt prr to recovery, the VfUUg WU1II.U who is taking: Doctor Pierce's Favorite Pre. scription.
