everywhere preaching the word. Men
women and children could toll of llim who

appeared to hundreds of His followers aud
artorward visibly ascended to heavou, and
who was surely coming back trox hoaveu In
due time to restore ull things of which the
Pioohots had spoken (Acts I 3, H; HI.. 20
21). and that all who would receivo Him
now by faith would have lu Him tho forgive
ueaa of all their sins (Luke xxiv.. 4"; Acts
Illi., 3S, 39), aud coiuo with Him in glory (1
1'hess.iv., 14). 'y
6. This is Philip of the committee of seven
of chapter vi., 8, not Philip of John xlv H
af the apostles. Stephen, tho leader of the
loveu, being promoted, Phiiip, the next
earned In order, seems called to special ser
vice by tho Holy Bplrlt. IIo preached Christ
In His humiliation und exaltation, iu His
life and death and resurrection, His ascen
sion, Intercession und return, anl that
through Him all who accept Him have re
demption in Him, evou tho forgiveness of
lins.

lowed by miracles which Qod did by him
Qod thus working with him by the Holy

14. Tho apostles continued at Jerusalem.
They heard that the word was being preached

John to see. These meu who hud been ap
pointed to serve tables were being mightily
used of God. One had been honored to he
the first martyr in the early church, and one
was being honored to win ninnv souls in
Haaiarla, while from Jerusalem nothing
special is heard about this time, though
doubtless many were still boing added to the

Peter severely rebukos him, but In vers 21
Simon seems sorry for his misunderstanding
and asks to be prayed for. Peter and John
bear witness to Christ and return to Jerusa

PENNSYAVANIA LEGISLATURE.
Fcbrunry 17. Pltcalrn' theatre hat bill
called a little breeze In tho house to-night
when It was on second reading. It passed.
66 to 64, but there wus plenty of evidence
that It will have rough slidiug when the
llnal test comes. The galleries were lllled
with ladies and some of tho members pluyed
for tholr favor.
Mr. ilorger, of Philadelphia, termed It a
eranK measure, placing It ln the shuio class
with tho untl-footbnll and cluaretto ineos
measure. Mr. Pitcuirn defended th bill by
Baying tliut it was prepared by tho Woman's
club of Pittsburg, aud wns endorsed by ull
tho theatrical managers of the Smoky City.
February 18. Speaker Boyer called tho
house to order promptly at 11 o'clock this
morning. When the reports of committees
were culled for Chairman Heideibaugh, of
the law and order committee recommended
affirmatively the bill of Kepresentative McF.I
haney, of Pittsburg, known as the autitrent
bill.
Chairman North, of the committee on fed
eral relations, reported negatively tho Cuban
resolution.
At the conclusion of the reading of the
bills In place, there followed what is consid
ered the most important action of tho state
legislature thus fur, namely tho llnal reading
of bills. The first Is an act to provide for
the pay and mileagoof coroners for viewing a
body when no Inipiost is held. The bill was
passed by a vote of 167 to 19, and is the
ilrst measure made a law by the present
body.
February 17 A score or more of resolu
tions of more or less linportunco were pre
sented. Many committees reported hills also.
Araonir those recommended afllnnutively '
were those authorizing the purchase of un
seated lands for tho non-payment ot taxes
for the purpose of creating a state forest res
ervation. Another bill recommended uf
flrmutlvoly was thut providing tbut all
material and furniture for constructing nnd
furnishing the new capltol building be pur
chased from Pennsylvania firms and Individ
uals. ,,
About forty bills were given first reading
by tho clerk. As no action is taken on first
reading this portion of the session was purely
a display of lung power.

One evening recently I entered a room
wln-re several young people, with bonks
and work, were sitting around the lump.
The young mini with the lexicon and the
grammar on lint table In-fore liim wus Hi"
busiest of the group, blithe in-liintlv arose
ami remained standing until I hnd t iki-n
my sent. The little n-'tion wus iiuio:natie ;
tint habit o.' this family Is to pr.i -ti - small
courtesies, nud thu liovs have 1 11 tiiiiin-4
from childhood to pay deference to women.
They always rise wiieneter 11 li-lv, their
lllother.sister.frii'lld.or thegll"st ol the hulls,'
comes into the r mmaW'Ucro they are ut
work ; they place chairs gallantly and grace
fully for ladies at the ilinn r-talile.thev tuk-i
off th-'lr huts when they meet their mother
on the street, and they never kiss her with a
hut on ; iu saving good Morning or irooil-
evenliig to hr it is with hut in hand. Her
bundles are carried, her way is minle easy, a
beautiful politeness waits fur her word
in the domestic discussions, and refrains
from interrupting her even in the most
heated argument. Neither mother nor sister
goes out after dark without an es-'ort. Onu
of the boys cun always go out of bis way, or
nun it in ins wav. to see her safely to it
friend's door, or to the meeting which she
wishes to attend. Most winning and sweet
Is the air of good breeding which these
young men have uequired which they wear
with au unconscious grace,
Fipially charming are the manners of the
girls in the home I speak of; gentle, soft
spoken, appreciative, considerate, and rev
erential, lo old people they are tender; to
children, kind; to each nthcr.lovclv.
One eutinot ton sedulously look after the

If the number of licenses issued by (he
Government during tho past year furnishes
Buy indication, there has been a marked de
crease iu the sale of Intoxicating liquors
since the Ilrst day of January, 18.
For the twelve months ending liocembcr,
31, 1H90, there were 225,091 licenses Issued by
the Government, including 2 '4, 2!W to retail
liquor dealers; 41144 to wholesale liquor deal
or;lH55to reel I Ib-rs ; l'J.Olit to retail malt
dealers, and infill to brewers. Whllo the
year's business shows that a vast amount of
money has been uxpeuded In strong drink
the total number of liceuws for tho year falls
8400 short of 1SU5.
This decrease may be due In a measure to
moral improvement, but the explanation
which will be most generally accepted Is that
tho sale of liquor has boon uifectod by adverse
conditions.
The largest number of saloon licenses
Issued to any district In the Uulted Hi ales
was Issues to tho Ilrst district of Illinois,
which inaltidos the city or Chicago, the num
ber ol llcensi-s being 18,710. Next comes the
