[Copyright, Louis Klopwli, 18PP.]
WjsniNOTON. D. C. (Special).—Home life
versi s liolel life Is the theme of Dr. Tal
inage's sermon for to-day, tho disadvan
tages of a life spent at more or less tem
porary stopping places being sharply con
trasted with the blessings that are found
in the renl home, however humble. The
text is Luke x., 84, 85: "And brought him
to nn inn and took care ot him. And on
the morrow when he departed, he took out
two pence and gave them to the host and
said unto blm, Take care of him; and what
soever thou spendest more, when I come
again I will repay thee."
This Is the good Samaritan paying the
hotel bill of a man who had been robbed
and almost killed by bandits. The good
Samaritan had found the unfortunate on a
lonely, rocky road, where to this very day
depredations are sometimes committed
upon travelers, and had put the Injured
man into tho saddle, while this merciful
and well-to-do man had walked till they
got to the hotel, nnd the wounded man was
put to bed nnd cared for. It must have
been a very superior hotel in its accommo
dations, for, though in tho country, tho
landlord was paid at the rate of what In
our country would be $4 or $5 a day, a
penny being then a day's wages and tho
twopennies paid in this case about two
days' wages. Moreover, it was one of those
kind-hearted landlords who are wrapped
up in the happiness of their guests, be
cause the good Samaritan leaves the poo*,
wounded fellow to his entire care, promis
ing that when he came that way again he
would pay all the bills until the Invalid got
well.
Hotels nnd boarding houses are necessi
ties. In very ancient times they were un
known, because tho world had compara
tively few inhabitants, and thoso were not
much given to travel, and private hospital
ity met all the wants of sojourners, as
when Abraham rushed out at jlamre to in
vite the threo men to sit down to a dinner
of veal, as when tho people were p ssltive
ly commanded to bo given to hospitality,
ns in many places in the east these ancient
customs aro practiced to-d.iy. But wo have
now hotels presided over by good land
lords nnd boarding houses presided over
by excellent host or hostess in all neighbor
hoods, villages and cities and it Is our con
gratulation that those of our land surpass
all other lands. They rightly become the
perinnnent residences of many people, such
ns those who are without families, such as
those who business keeps them migratory,
i-uch as those who ought not, for various
reasons of health or peculiarty of elrcum
•tances, to take upon themselves tho cares
ol housekeeping.
But one of the great evils of this day is
,'ound in the fact that a large population
i'f our towns nnd cities are giving up and
aave given up their homes and taken
apartments, that they may havo more free
dom from domestic duties and more time
for social life and because they like the
■vliirl of publicity better than the quiet
nnd privacy of a residence they can call
their own. The lawful use of these hotels
fnd boarding-houses is for most people
while they are in transitu; but ns a
terminus they are in many cases de
moralization, utter anil complete. That is
the point at which families Innumerable
have begun to disintegrate. There never
hus been a time when so many families,
healthy and abundantly able to support
and direct homes of their own, have struck
tent and taken permanent abode in these
public establishments.
In these public enravnnsnries, tho demon
of gossip is apt to get lull sway. All the
boarders run daily tho gantlet of general
inspection—how they look when they come
down In the morning and when they get in
nt night, and what they do for a living,
and who they lecelve as guests 111 their
rooms, and what they wear, and what they
do not wear, and how they eat, nnd what
they eat, ami how much they eat, and how
little they ent. If a man proposes in such
a place to bo isolated and reticent and
alone, tboy will begin to guess about him:
Who is he? Whore did he come from? How
long is he going to stay? Has lis) paid his
board? How. much does he pay? Perhaps
he has committed somoerimo and does not
want to bo known. There must be some
thing wrong about him or lie would speak.
The whole bouse goe_- into the detective
business. They mu-t find out about him.
They must find out about him right away.
!f he lenvo his door unlocked by accident,
lie will find that his rooms have been in
spected, h s trunk explored, his letters
folded differently from the way they were
folded when he put them away. Who is
he? Is the question asked with lutenser in
terest, until the subject has become a
monomania. The simple fact is that ho is
nobody In particular, but minds his own
business.
One of the worst damages that come
from the herding of so many people Into
boardlng-hou?es and family hotels Is In
flicted upon children. It Is only another
way of bringing them upon the commons.
Whilo you have your own private house
you can, for the most fart, control their
companionship and their whereabouts, but
by twelve years of ago In these public re
sorts they will have picked np all the bad
things tlint can be furnished by the pruri
ent minds of dozens of people. They will
overhear blasphemies, and see quarrels,
and get precocious In sin, and what the
bartender does not tell thom the porter or
hostler or bellboy will.
Besides that the children will go out into
this world without the restraining, anchor
ing, steadying and all controlling memory
of a home. From that none of us who have
been blessed of such memory have es
caped. It grips u man for eighty years,
it he lives so long, it pulls him back from
doors into which ho otherwise would enter.
It smites him with contrition in the very
midst of his dissipations. As the llsh, al
ready surrounded by the long wide net,
swim out to sea, thlnklDg they can go as
far as they please, and with gay toss of
silvery scale they defy the sportsman on
tho beach, and after awhile the fishermen
begin to draw In the net, band over
hand, and hand over hand, and It
is a long while before tbe captured
(Ins begin to feel the net, and then they
dart this way and that, hoping to get out,
but And themselves approaching the
shore, and are brought up to the very feet
of the captors, so the memory of an early
home sometimes seems to relax and let
men out farther and farther from God, and
farther and farther from shore, flvo years,
ten years, twenty years, thirty years: but
some day they find an Irresistible mesh
drawing them back, and they are com
pelled to retreat from their prodigality
and wandering; and though they make
desperate effort to escape the Impression,
and try to dive deeper down in sin,
after awhile are brought clear back and
held upon the ltock of Ages.
If it be possible, O futher and mother!
let your sons and daughters go out Into
the world under the semlomnlpotent mem-
Dry of a good, pure home. About your two
or three rooms in a boarding house, or a
family hotel, you can cast no such clorlous
?anctlty. They will think of those public
caravansaries as an early stopping place,
malodorous with old victuals, coffees per
petually steaming and meats in overlast
ing stew or broil, the air surcharged with
carbonij achl, and corridors, along which
irunken boarders coino staggorlng at 1
o'clock in the morning, rapping at the
door till the affrighted wife lots them in.
Do not be guilty of tbe sacrilege or blas
phemy of calling such a place a home.
A home is four walls inclosing one
family with identity of interest and a
privacy from outside Inspection so com
pete that It is a world in itself, no one en-
terlng except by permission—belted and
barred and chained against all outside in
quisitiveness. The phrase so often used
In the law books and legal circles Is might
ily suggestive—every man's house is his
castle, as much so as though it had draw
bridge, portcullis, redoubt, bastion and
armed turret. Even the officer of the law
may not enter to serve a writ, except the
door be voluntarily opened unto him; bur
glnry, or the iuvaslon of it, n crime so
offensive that the law clashes its iron jaws
on any one who attempts it. Unless it be
necessary to stay for longer or shorter
time in fiimily hotel or boarding house—
and there are thousands of instances
in which it is necessary, as I
showed you at the beginning—unless
in this exceptional case, lot neither wife
nor husband consent to suoh permanent
residence.
The probability is that the wife will have
to divide her husband's time with public
smoking or reading room or with some
coquettish spider in searohof unwary flies,
and, If you do not entirely lose your hus
band, It will bo because he is divinely pro
tected from the disasters that have
whelmed thousands of husbands, with as
good Intentions as yours. Neither should
the husband, without Imperative reason,
consent to such a life unless he is sure his
wife can withstand the temptation of so
cial dissipation which swoeps across such
places with the force of tho Atlantic Ocean
when driven by a September equinox.
Many wives give up their homes for these
public residences, so that they may give
their entire time to operas, theatres, balls,
receptions and levees, and they are in a
perpetual whirl, like a whip top spinning
round and round and round very prettily
until it loses its equipolso and shoots oil In
to a tangent. But the difference is, in one
case It is a top, and in the other a soul.
Besides this there Is an assiduous accu
mulation of little things around the pri
vate home, which In the aggregate make a
great attraction, while tho denizen of one
of these public residences is apt to say:
"What is the use? I have no place to keep
them if I should take them." Mementos,
bric-a-brac, curiosities, quaint chair or
cozy lounge, upholsteries, pictures and a
thousand things that accrote In a home are
discarded or neglected because there is no
homestead in which to arrange them. And
yet they are the case in which the pearl of
domestic happiness is set. You cun never
be ome as attached to the appointments of a
boarding-house or family hotel as to thoso
things that you can call your own and are
associated with the different members of
your household or with scenes of thrilling
import In your domostic history. Blessed
is that home In which for a whole lifetime
they have been gathering, until every
Ilgure in the carpet, and every panel of
tho door, and every casement of tho win
dow has a cliirogrnphy of its own, speak
ing out something about father or mother,
or son or daughter, or friend that was with
us awhile. What u sacred place It becomes
when one can say: "Xu that room such a
one was born; in that bed such a one died;
in that chair I sat on the night I heard
buch a one had received o great public
honor; by that stool my child knelt for her
last evening prayer; here I sat to greet my
son as ho came back from sea voyage; that
was father's cane; that was mother's rock
ing chair!" What a joyful and pathetic
congress of reminiscences!
The public residence of hotel and board
ing house übolishes the grace of hospital
ity. Your guest does not want to come to
such a table. No ono wants to run such a
gantlet of acute and merciless hypercrltic
ism. Unless you have a home of your own
you will not be able to exercise the best
rewarded of all the graces. For exercise
of this grace what blessing came to tho
Shunammite in the restoration of her son
to life because she entertaiuod Ellsha, and
to the widow of Zarephath In the perpetual
oil well of the miraculous cruse because
she fed a hungry prophet, and to llahnb in
the preservation of her life at the demoli
tion of Jerleho because she entertained the
spies, and to Labun In the formation of an
interesting family relation because of his
entertainment of Jacob, and to Lot In his
rcscuo from the destroyed city becuuso of
his entertainment of tho angels, and to
Mary and Martha and Zaecheus in spiritual
blessing because they entertained Christ,
and to l'ubliusin ttio island of Melita in the
healing of Ills father because of the enter
tainment of Paul, drenched from the ship
wreck, and ot innumerable houses through
out Christendom upon which havo come
blessings from generation to generation
because their doors swung easily open In
the enlarging, ennobling, Irradiating and
divine grace ot hospitality!
Young married man, as soon as you can,
buy such a place oven if you have to put on
it a mortgage reaching from base to cap
stone. The much abused mortgage, which
Is ruin to a reckless man, to one piudent
and provident is the beginning of a com
petency ami a fortune for the renson he
will not be satisfied until he bus paid it off,
and all tho household are put on stringent
economies until then. Deny yourself all
superfluities and all luxuries until you can
say, "Everything in this house is mine,
thank God—every timber, every brick,
every foot of plumbing, every doorsill."
Do not have vourchildren born In a board
ing house, and do not yourself bo buried
from one. Havo a place where your chil
dren can shout and sing and romp without
being overhauled for the racket. Havo a
kitchen where you can do something
toward the reformation of evil cookery nnd
tlio lessening of this nation of dyspoi ties.
As Napoleon lost one of his great battles by
an attack ot indigestion, so many men
have such a daily wrestle with the food
swallowed that they havo no strength left
for tho battle of life, nnd, though your
wife may know how to play on all musical
instruments and rival a prima donna, she
Is not well educated unless she can boil an
Irish potato and broil a mutton chop,since
the diet sometimes decides tho fato of fam
ilies and nations.
Have a sitting room with at least one
easy chair, even though you have to take
turns at sitting In it, and books out of tlio
public library or of your own purchase for
tho making of your family intelligent,
and checkerboard*, and guessing matches,
with an occasional blind man's buff, which
which is of all games my favorite. House
up your homo with all styles of innocent
mirth and gather up in your children's
nature a reservoir of exuberance that will
paur down refreshing streams when life
gets parched, and the dark days come,
and the light® go out, and tho laughter is
smothered into a sob.
First, last and all the time have Christ
In your home. Julius Cipsar calmed tho
fears of an affrighted boatman who was
rowing In a stream by saying, "So long as
Ca?sar is' with you In the same bont, no
.harm can happen." And whatever storm
of adversity or bereavement or poverty
may strike your home, all is well as long
as you have Christ the King on board.
Make your home so farreachiug in its in
fluence that down to the last moment of
your children's life you may hold them
with a heavenly charm. At seventy-six
years of age the Demosthenes of tbo
American Senate lay dying at Washing
ton—l mean Henry Clay, of Kentucky.
His pastor sat at his bedside, and"the old
man eloquent," after a long and exciting
public life, transatlantic and cisatlantic,
was back again in the scene) of
his boyhood, and he kept saying in
his dream over and over again, "Sly
mother, mother, mother!" May the paren
tal influeuce we exert be not only poten
tial, but holy, and so the home on earth be
tho vestibule of our home in heavon, In
which place may we all meet —father,
mother, son, daughter, brother, sister,
grandfather, grandmother and grandchild,
and the entire group of precious ones, oi
whom we must say In the words of trans
porting Charles Wesley:
One family wo dwell In him.
One church above, beneath,
Though now divided by the stream—
The narrow stream of death;
One army of the living God,
To His command we bow;
Part of the host have crossed the Hood
And part are orossing now.
A TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.
The Man Willi tlie Load—An Argument
Vied at a Town Meeting In Pennsyl
vania That Waa Unanswerable—Fams
Uy ltulned by "Temperate" Drinking.
(Poem suggested by Edwin Markham's
famous "Man With the Hoe.")
Bowed by a weight of fiery stuff, he leans
Against the hitching post and gazes
'round!
Besotted emptiness is in his face,
lie bears a load that still may get him
down.
Who made him dull to shame and dead to
pride,
A thing that cares not and who never
thinks,
Filthy, profane, a consort for the pig?
Who loosened and let down that stubby
jaw?
Whence came tho scum adhering to those
lips?
What was It clogged and burned awuy his
brain?
Is this the thing the Lord God made and
gave
To have dominion over sen and land;
To love and to bo loved; to propagate
And feel the passion of Eternity?
Is this the dream He dreamed who thapod
the suns
And pillared the blue flrmamont with
light?
Down all the stretch of Ilell to its last
gulf
There is no st.ape more hideous than this—
More tongued with proof that Dnrwln
didn't kuow—
For where in uli the world of brutish
beasts
Is one from which this monster might
have come?
Ills blood flows In the frail, disflgurod
babe
O'er which the pale, heartbroken mother
bends.
But what to him are those hot tears she
sheds,
What oares ho for tho taunts his children
beur,
Tho hungry cries they raise, their twisted
limbs?
Through this dread shape the devil boldly
looks,
And in that rooling presence mocks the
world!
Through this dread shape humanity Is
shamed,
Trofanod, outrage I, drngge 1 down an!
brought to soo-n
Made to inhale fumes from the slime ho
spews
And hear him jest at Virtue and at (lod.
O masters, lords, and rulers in our land,
Must this foul solecism still
Be tolerated in an age when men
Grasp power from the circumambient nir
And speak through space across the roar
ing gulfs?
Must thisvilo thing be left to wed at will
And propagate his Idiotic spawn,
A shame upon the age in which we live,
A curse on generations to be born?
O masters, lords, and rulers in our land.
How may ye hope to reckon with this
"man"?
How get along without tho vote he casts
When there are public offices to (ill?
How will It be with candidates when he
No longer hangß upon the reeking bar
Prepared to light, to stab, to murder, and
To vote for him who furnishes his drinks?
—S. E. Kiser, In Chicago Times-Herald.
Must Not "Drink"
Not nil railroad presidents, directors nnd
superintendents aro "totnl abstainers,"
but all unite in maintaining the rule which
forbids the employment of a locomotive
engineer, or llremnn, or conductor, or
brakuman, or switch-tender who indulges
in a "social glass," either off or on duty.
From the lollowing paragraphs, taken from
the Philadelphia Itecord, we learn that a
similar rule governs those who erect tall
buildings, nnd that It is rigorously en
dorsed by the Ironworkers themselves.
The daring men who daily swarm over
the new skyscrapers that are going up all
over town are not without their measures
of precaution. Tho ironworkers them
selves, as a class, are man why will indulge
In a social glass whenever they feel like it,
but they take good care never togo on tho
job when under the influence of liquor.
~ However, no matter what they do them
selves in their hours off, they will aot per
mit the employment of any one In the capa
city of scaffold-building or derrluk man
who Is known to take a drink, either off or
on duty. The ironworkers themselves in
sist upon this, and they do it simply as a
precaution of safety to themselves.
If any one of them sees or hears of a der
rick or scaffold man taking a drink, it is
his duty to report the fact at once, aud the
man is watched. When proof is found, the
offender is Instantly discharged. Tho con
tractor might protest against such extreme
action, but he has the alternative of either
abiding by the rule or procuring a new
gang of ironworkers.
A Speech From '.lie Gallows.
Freeman Cochran was Gauged at Beth
»ny, Mo., for the murder of George Stan
aorougb. Cochran professed religion last
Dight and was baptized. He made a
ipeech on the gallows, saying that he was
•aved nnd advising all to abstain from
Strong drink. It was his undoing. He
said many crimes wore committed while
men were under the influence of drink,
ind that the law makes no distinction be
tween a man drunk and a man sober. Then,
stepping back to the centre of the scaf
fold, Cochran took hold of the noose
dangling from the crossbeam and, raising
it aloft, dramatically said:
"Whenever you turn up a glass of
whisky, look in the bottom and you will
lee the shadow of this rope."
It was the most effective temperance
fccture ever delivered in the State. At the
jonclusion of his remarks the cap was ad
lusted and the trap sprung.
Salycyllc Acid In Ileer.
Much of our beer is a noxious chemical
»ompound In which salycyllc acid, poison
ous flshberrles and other drugs replace
bops and malt.
As to our wines, the story of their sophis
tication would 1111 volumes, while with re
gard to distilled llqurors chemical nnalysis
has proved that the flnest are those most
obnoxiously adulterated, and, indeed, that
tho only tolerably "pure" kinds are those
llery and maddening stuffs sold in low
barrooms at "three cents for a Urge
glass."

HELPS FOR HOUSEWIVES^
How to ITanti Silverware.
Silverware after it is washed should
be dried immediately and not left to
drain, ns the evaporation causes it to
grow dim. Soft cloths or sponges are
the proper things to wash it with, and
canton flannel makes a good drying
cloth. Silver that is not in use may
be kept bright if putin an airtight
box in which n piece of camphor the
size of an almond has been placed. To
make a good polish use a quart of rain
water, two ounces ammonia and three
ounces of precipitated chalk. Keep
the mixture well corked and apply
with a piece of flannel.
A Crawling Rug for Baby.
"Crawling" rugs, decorated with
applique designs of animals, flowers
and figures cut from bright flannels or
cretonne, are among the pretty and
useful things made for the baby. They
are usually about the size of a bed
quilt, and lined, so that there is no
danger of baby taking cold when ex
ploring his picture gallery. The in
fant possessed of an innate .love of
art, or the one in whom a curiosity "to
see the wheels go wound," is para
mount, will spend hours tracing with
unsteady lingers the contours of
prancing horse 3, bright flowers or
gorgeous birds.
New Styles in Picture Framing-
A novelty in small frames for photo
graphs is the architectural frame. This
is made uji of two Roman or Corin
thian columns for the sides,surmount
ed by a lintel, the whole resting on
what appears to be a door-step. The
Roman column is the favorite, and is
finished in deep green or black; those
intended for Wedgewood prints are in
blue.
Wedgewood prints aro entirely new,
and represent nrtistic figures as if in
has relief in white ngamst a Wedg
wood blue background. These come
in sets of three. Delicate water col
ors in figures are popular, framed in
a tiny oval gold beading with a wide
mat of deep red.
Another style of picture which
takes a dark red mat well is the black
aud white print of famous drawings.
The tiniest narrow black wood frame
is the best finish.
There is another Wedgewood effect,
which is produced by two processes.
Rough, heavy drawing paper is used
in decided greens or blues, and the
figures are raised in has relief by a
stamping process and then enamelled
in white.
Preserving Clotlies from Moths.
Nothing is more trying among the
smaller ills otf this life than to have
clothiug aud furs aud carpets enteu
by moths. There is a general impres
sion that camphor or popper or moth
balls keep away moths, but it is not
so. They do not iu the least object
to odors, and why such stuff is used
at all is really a mystery. Buffalo
bugs seem really to thrive on camphor
aud to fiud especially congenial quar
ters in cedar shelves or closets or
trunks.
Every article should be carefully
brushed—all the pockets turned inside
out, brushed, and then turned smooth
ly back again, and every spot of every
description carefully cleansed for
moths always seize upon a spot of any
sort as a particularly choice morsel.
Each garment shoulJ be folded separ
ately aud very smoothly aud wrapped
iu old lineu or cotton sheets or part of
them.
Newspaper is an excellent thing to
fold things in, as for some reason
moths particularly object to it. The
chests that things are to be packed
away iu should be carefully wiped out
perfectly clean with a wet cloth, so
that not a particle of dust lingers. It
is well to spread a large old sheet over
the open trunk and push it down,
leaving the surplus outside, aud then
to fold thut over when the trunk is
packed, for even one moth miller, if it
slips in, may undo all your work aud
care. Never leave a trunk open a mo
ment after it has been wiped out be
fore packing it. Chicago Record.

To get the best results you must use the best
materials.
You need expect only poor laundering with poor
soap, but you will find dainty articles that have been
washed with Ivory Soap restored to their original
freshness with unchanged colors.
Nothing that will stand the application of plain
water will be injured by Ivory Soap.

The Uses of Adversity,
Secretary Wilson tells a story which
illustrates the uses of adversity. A
farmer out West planted a lot of
ground to sugar beets. They grew
beautifully and sent out a glorious
foliage of dark-red leaves, with deep
red veins iu them, which he admired
very much. A tornado came and cut
tbem oft' close to tbe ground. The
poor farmer was discouraged. It was
too late to plow up the field and plant
another crop. His whole spring labor
was wasted and all his money was
gone. He decided that he would give
up farming, advertise his place for
sale and go back East to his wife's
folk. Before they had finished pack
ing, however, he noticed new, healthy
shoots coming from all the beets, and
told his wife he guessed tbey would
better hold up awhile and see what
: happened. In a few weeks the foliage
was as fresh and strong as before, so
he hoed out the weeds with confidence
of gettiug a good crop. When he
| dug up those beets and took them to
the sugar factory that fall they were
found to contain more saccharine than
auyothers that were offered, and upon
an investigation at the experiment
station it was decided that their su
periority was due to the storm. From
that time on beet farmers have imitat
ed the example of nature and cut the

Marvelous Instinct of a Cat.
The marvelous iustiuct of an animal
| is said to sometimes be a sure warn-
I ing of impending danger. It seems
to be the case of the pet cat of the
steamer City of Kingston. This ani
mal, a large yellow one of no particu
lar recommendation except its purr
ing proclivities, has long been at
tached to that vessel, and not even
the most persuasive coaxing could in
duce it to leave the confines of the
ship. It has never been known to
miss a trip.
When the Kingston arrived in
Seattle from Victoria early Sunday
morning, for some mysterious reason
the feline went ashore, and when the
time came for the departure for
Tacoma, which resulted in the dis
aster to the Kingston, the animal re
fused to be coaxed aboard. Finally,
a saucer ot milk proving unavailing,
one of the ship's crew took the cat iu
his arms aud carried it aboard the
vessel, but just as the lines were
hauled in and the steamer was leav
ing the dock, the sagacious puss
sprang from the Kingston to the
wharf and disappeared iu a pile of
bags. It is now alive and the ad
miration of all hands at Yesler wharf.
