MISCELLANEOUS W. C. T. U. COLUMN. The Rev. K. A. Stafford, M. A..L I L. 8., of the Methodist Church in his j fraternal address to the General Con- , ft-rence ot the Methodist Episcopal j Church lately convened, after speak iDg of the advanced position occupied bv the ehurche9 of the Dominion in j relation to the great temperance re form t»aid—"ln other respects we hare much to encourage us in rela tion to public morality. We havo a quiet Sabbath. There is not a Sun dav newspaper in Canada We have DO theatrical exhibitions on the Lord's dav. But we have sense enough to know that this immunity is due to the absence of the vast European popula tion which throngs nearly all your great cities American families here, are no doubt, as particular in the ob servadce of Lords day as the people of Canada are." Here is food for thought. It is well known that our Holy Christaia Sab- I hath ia fast becoming a day of feast i ing, lawlessness and drunkenness ! throughout our broad land especially |in the largest cities. The Continen tal Sabbath will soon displace the quiet, peaceful day of resc which our j forefathers left a precious legacy to us, a legacv the value of which we j have b«en slow to appreciate. Only I now as it seems slipping from our grasp are we beginning to awaken to j its importance. Shall we lazily arise from our sleep or shall we by gigan tic effort arouse from our lethargy and beat back the powers of evil which have almost engulfed us, laying waste our sacred possessions. This questiou is of vital interest to every Christian, no one can afford to say 'I have uo in terest in the matter ' Much will the Lord require at our hands if we pro tect not this day against invasion. By voice, pec aud speech let us agi tate this question, it must not down until not only lost ground has been regained, but until the Kingdoms of this world have become the King doms of our Lord and of Christ. For without the sacred influences of the Sabbath day kept holy unto the Lord there can be no Christian growth. In regard to the exercises of franchise by woman he says: we think that moral interests with us have gained strength by the voting of woman. It is a fact that woman by thousands do go the ballot box in Canada I have met them there, and have met the same women the even ing after in a prayer meeting, and 1 cau certify that, neither their piety nor modesty impaired oy their eout«ct with a ballot. ludeea in re spect in the effect upon her modesty | I had rather any day see a Methodist j lady at the voting booth than in a ball room. Scientific Temperance Instruc tion. MRS. JOS I). WEEKS, STATE SL'l'T. In a recent lecture of Mrs, Foster's, when urging enforcement to the letter, of the "Brooks' License Law," she j said that she had never yet seen a j steam engine that was able to get up ; at 7 o'clock in the morning, light the j fire, fill the boilers with water, open the valves, and start of itself- I made the application at once to : our law requiring scientific temper , auee instruction iu all the schools of | this Commonwealth, that are support- ; ed in whole, or in part by public mo- I nev. Here we Lave a magnificent. ; engine of law; the best that could be obtained at the time, aud we still think, quite as good as anybody else j has—but it w> t go of itself! Three j years have the of the State Educational Department been on the throttle, but the fire has lacked fuel, j the stoking has been slate instead of j coal, the boiler has been almost dry, ! and never yet has a full head of steam been turned on, to show what the ! grand engine could do if properly us- ! ed. After three years of this partial use of a maenificent machine, it is ! quite time we waked up to a sense of I its value and capabilities. Now what shall we do? First open 1 our eyes to the fact that iu many cit ( ies and towns the law is evaded, in others it is virtually a dead letter, in some schools no text books are in the hands of many scholars old enough to use them, and in others the study is set aside from day to day—and 'no time for Physiology'—"preparing for exhibition"' or "fitting for Hitfh School," a-e given as reasons for this neglect. Iu many places the text books that were were hastily adopted by school boards, upon the passage of the law, are defective, so lacking in amount of temperance teaching, or so full of that which is untrue and unscientific, that they are almost worse than no books at all. By law these books can be changed, after the organization of the new school boards the coming spring, ; and on this point we have more to i say hereafter. Several things do we advise aud ! urge upon every W. C. T. U. woman now Try to get intelligent temper- j ance busings men chosen as school directors; they will be less likely to ' be influenced by mercenary scheming ! book agents. Study carefully fully, yourselves, the biA/ks now in use aud the better ones that are ready. (Jive the teachers and every director suitable literature on the subject— among other things, "Tests for selec tion of text booko" by Mrs. M. H Hunt, aud sold by W. T I'. A., La La Salle Street, Chicago. I>o uot conceal your dissatifaction with the present enforcmeut of the law. As parents aud citizens visit the schools often, and, where uecessa ry.make personal or written complaint to the City or County Superidtendeut of Schools If in a reasonable time he fails to remedy the matter, make formal charges to the State Superin tendent of Schools at Uarrisburg, and ask Lim to "withhold the strte appro priation" which is the penalty provi ded for violation of this law. 1 do not say this merely for effect; I mean it, everv word and literally. We I mve waited long and patiently J that teachers mighty study the sub ject and be examined upon it that the j complicated machinery of the Educa- j tional Department of our State might, j adjust itself to tLe "new departure" ; and have meanwhile viewed with 1 great long suffering the violation or but partial fulfillment of the law. It I is now hitr!» time to enforce it "for all j •here is iu it." Do not be afraid to do this. The temperance sentiment of the wh«lo country is rising, and all ; the laws that legislatures have thus 1 far (fiven us, there is enough public ' sentiment to enforce to the letter, if j we will but conserve at.d apply if. Aud it wiii be the fault of the W. ; C. T. U. themselves, who worked so j nol iy to obtain this law, if they do , not from this time forward obtaiu : grander results from it, in the edu-a , eaticn nod salvation of the youth in public schools, the orphans, the deaf j the mute, aud blind in all our asy- j luins, aDd even the unforunate in the Reform Schools ftnd prisons of our State. I wish. I could rally the temperance hosts with a clarion call, that would , stir every soul to help "save the chil dren ' who are in deadly peril. God help all the W. C. T. U. and the fath ers and mothers of Pennsylvania's more than a million children, to see their duty and then do it. "The Madonna at the Tub," of whom Miss Phelps writes, was a genuine specimen of health and strength She doubtless heeded the warnings of her predecessors, and understood and appreciated the matchless qualities of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which relieves and cures so many ailments peculiar to the sex. As a powerful, invigor ating tonic, it imparts strength to the whole system, and to the womb and its appendages, in particular. For overworked, "worn-out," run-down," debilitated teachers, milliners, dress makers, seamstresses, "shop girls," housekeepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally, Favorite Prescription" is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled as an appetiz ing cordial and restorative tonic. For Constipation, Sick, or Bilious Headache, use Dr. Pierce's Pellets, or Anti-bilious Granules: Purely vegetable.

Since No. 145 left the workshop many accidents have befulleu those connected with it. A murder was committed upon it and robbers have been after its cash box several times. Pickpockets also haunt it, and there appear to be other evidences that it is "possessed." A Trick with Figures. The following mathematical trick, from La Nature, although not new, j maybe revived' for the benefit of; those who are unacquainted with ir. , It never fails to mystify those who do not understand it. Tell a person to select any even number of figures and, without let ting you see them, to write them i down and then place under them the figures in reverse order. Thus, for example: 943518 815349 This done, ask him to add the two numbers, and to give you the sum, j less any figure which he may choose to reject, and the space occupied by which must be left blank or shown by a hyphen. For example, 17588-7. Putting on an inspired air, you now assert that the figure omitted is G. If yoa prefer, you can let the per son substract one number from the other, and then tell him the omitted figure with the same ease. The trick is simple, and the expla nation of it can be understood by any boy who has studied arithmetic. The sum of a number and the same num ber reversed is a multiple of 11, and their difference is a multiple of 9 Now, in multiples of 11, the sum of the even figures is equal to that of the odd ones. Applying this rule to our example, 17588-7, and represent ing the unknown figure by x we have x plus 8 plus 7=l plus 7 plus 5 plus B=2l. A simple mental cal culation gives x=6. Where tLe number of figures in the products is an even one, the eum of the first two or first three will equal the sum of the last two or three, and so on. Proceeding with the difference, which is a multiple of 9. Taking our examples, 1-8169, aud adding the figures, we obtaiu 25, but as this is not a multiple of 9, we have to add 2 to obtain the multiple, and this was the figure rejected. An Alarm Clock under the Sofa. A mother on Madison avenue late ly requested her daughter, who is just approaching womanhood, to give her beau a hint that she must not sit up later than 10 o'clock. This, the girl was reluctant to do, but her little brother threatened that unless she did he would open the parlor door and announce the maternal edict. Thej sister supposed that she had put a quietus on her brother by reminding him of his playing hookey and forg- j ing. bis mother's name on excuses , from school to go skating, not forget ting to mention a little riding whip his mamma kept iu her room. All this, however, was not enough to keep the youth from giving him any thing Christmas. The other evening he got an alarm dock with a bell as loud as the gong on the Brooklyn , Bridge bab, and ! placed it under the sofa where her sis- j ter and her betrothed were to do their I spooning The hands were pointed at 10. The unsuspecting girl heard ! the tick, but took it to be her lover's Waterburv. He was just tickling I her ear with a yarn about a horse bis papa was croing to buy when the gong sounded. There was a pause— and then as though understanding the meaning, he grabbed his hat and never stopped running until he struck the door stoop, when he flew. The boy had iced the steps. The lit tle brother now takes a cushion to school with him Albany Journal. Not on the Map. A gentleman of this city observed his little son attentively studying a map of the world.
