Dear Howard Legions are prone to forget that we live in the enlightened era known as the nineteenth century, and even profane the stately sanctuaries of the most high by proclaiming to the refined, intelligent senses concerning therein their great love for the sickening, disgusting, filthy weed. Anything detrimental to comfort and neatness, and that creates a thirst for Intoxicants engenders disease, and is a poison scarcely less destructive than the deadly hasheesh. Morphine or opium so prevalent among the orientals is a crowning evil scarcely less detrimental in our latter stages than the ravages of King alcohol; and that persons can have the levity to arise in the temples dedicated to the worship and adoration of the most high and assert that they love the same and hope they always will, and even manifest no hesitancy to thank God therefor, and that they are no "prohl cranks," etc.; which latter expression may imply that they rather hanker after the ardent, is a spectacle to make angels weep; is etrongly tinctured with and savors of Phariseeism. Precious few will controvert the assumption that tobacco is no evil; multitudes of noble men and gallant, brilliant youths dvplore its moderate or excessive vise, and like our hero who spoke up in meeting, have renounced the vile habit; the others never sound its praises, or think it a blessing worth thanking God for, and would give the sweet breath purifier, the aromatic teeth cleaner and eolacer of all their joys, the disconsolate heart rending good-by if they could; and as is meet only proclaim Its virtues to barbarians, savages, and heathen. Tobacco is beyond all controversy an evil; eminent physicians, great statesmen, orators and temperance lecturers have denounced it in no measured terms; this being conceded It follows that gamblers, the frequenters of pool rooms, and the besotted Inebriate and libertine, mipht with the same propriety arise in the churches and "thank God that they love the same and hope they always will;" "but a wound and dishonor will they get and their reproach will not be taken away," the walls of Zion will totter, the adversary will utterly raze it, and the accessions' to the church millltant will not materially augment or the grand millennium era down under the pernicious Influences of the loathsome weed and kindred evils besetting Columbia's sons, "rifhteouineas exorteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people," find "let him that nameth the came of

the Lord depart from evil." are injunctions of holy writ and many others I could enumerate that are ignored by divers in their zeal for the twin relics of barbarism, enumerated; and holding exalted positions in the councils of the church. If I were a moderate or excessive chewer or smoker of the noxious weed, infested by a loathsome green worm in its embryotio stages of growth and maturity, and were to sign a pledge to abstain from intoxicants and become a staunch rrohih. I would be constrained to utterly renounce the weed if I cherished an. hopes of keeping th same; and as other Aies are so Intimately interwoven it might b a crying necessity and absolutely imperative if one is even slightlj adiited thereto to say unto pamhlinp-. "get the behind me satr.n." "corruption thou art no longer my father, neither is the worm my sister and brother." with the abolition of these besettinja; vices and others and adamantine and gihraltcrnn firmness and stability to resi.it temptation and the dire encroachments of the adversary in his many guises, "like a roaring lion sffkirter whom he may devour." a:nl the guidance of the divine spirit be can remain an implaoable foe to inebriety to the end of his pilgrimage, and as he disrelishes doing things by halves and all semblances of retrogression he would then be eminently befitted to unite with the church and become a veteran and steel-clad warrior in the redeemers cause like Wesley, B.ixior, Knox, Luther and others, who attained the lever of regeneration and the royal diadem and imperishable crown of glory at the end of their rac. awaiting the companionship of Sir Matthew Hale. England's renowned Christian attorney whose favorite saying was "that a Sabbath well spent brines a week of content." "Paul Quae" is under the bans of the irreverend paragraphers. I. too, have ben the recipient of their bounty to a slight extent: but, oh. "Arenmore," you and I have d ne gone and launched out on politics and the instability of our rulers, and are under the bans of the recipient; and he opines in no uncertain terms and great mildness of mien and gesture that politics should h forever eschewed and kept aloaf from the H. L. C. and as It has no tendency to the upbuilding of Zion the moral improvement and spiritual advancement of the household and engenders ill-feelings in the ranks of the opposition parties comprising the H. L. . who are just as good or perhaps much better than we are. and I am partial to none. The continued agitation of political questions only tends to harass the minds and wounds the feelings of the members on the opposite side of the political household of faith: quite positively can we assert that the "mene tekel upharsin" over against the plastering of the wall has been inscribed aerainst all political parties, they have all been thoroughly weighed and amply tested. and are found wanting, and long ere the president's mandate went forth have be?n Imbued with the idea that politics should be kept aloof from the pace; though there are other questions jun as unpopular and no one can please everybody. Christ and the apostles and the great and the good of every race and chime from the remote periods of antiquity to the present memorable era could not come up to the standard of universal satisfaction, and It is quite as certain as the earth rolls its seasons presenting her rich benefit to man that we can't. Doubtless you have heard of the boy who tried that sarre, but met with ill success and lost a valuable mule !n addition. "TUSCCMBIA."

TO THE READERS OF THIS PAGE. Rend "Wlint Ihr rrmltlrnt of the II. L. C IIa to Sny to You. Dear Friends I address you as such because I believe the pleasant relation we have had in the past will justly entitle tis to claim you as such. From week to week for years gone by we have conversed with you through that silent, impressive agency the pen. Now, at this stage of our acquaintance I deem it expedient to make of you a very reasonable request. We firmly believe we can claim many stanch friends not' holding an allegiance to the Howard literary club. To such, this earnest request is directed. All readers that appreciate and enjoy the Howard literary department of The Sentinel and believe our efforts, as put forth, are toward the accomplishment of good results, I earnestly beg of you an expression of such appreciation. This is solely to readers of The Sentinel and not members of the club, as we know all members are, or should be, interested in our pag. You can give me an expression on a postal card with little trouble and expense and may be of great value to the page. I trust our pleasant associations in the past will be sufficient to draw out an expression of the appreciation of the page. As to the motive for making this reasonable request, suffice it -to say it Is purely in the interest of the welfare of the page, and be assured that each expression will be thankfully received and promptly Tecognized. Address me plainly, W. S. Kokendoffer, Montevallo, Mo., box 57. Now, kind friends, please attend to this ere you forget my request. Yours In honor, love and charity, W. S.

talent In our club that needs only an an active exercise to develop for irreat good in influencing the reading public to higher thoughts of life and living. Let no one hesitate to broaden their views and bring out, as nearly as possible, every point of associate interest on their topic. Breadth and ' depth of thought should be cultivated in forming all conclusions. We again extend :the invitation to others to join this division of the work, and also the regular corps. We would like a few more in each division soon: Let each member of committee on work continue to note topics they consider of special interest, and send me, that we may always have a good supply for selection. I would be pleased to receive -the address of "Alta Raker" and "Mountain Pink." Also to learn the whereabouts of "Pollock." Yours most truly, T. H. SWAIM, Chairman Committee on Work. Danville, 111.. May 1. 11994. Dolee for Mente. . An so ye deem me idle. As I sit with folded hands. Mid the busy, surging life. With its ceaseless stern demands. Well, mayhap the censure's just, I own its truth in part; But the words of chiding fall, (So dull and cold my heart.) To rouse one languid pulse. One thrill of wakened" life. And I shrink with nerveless dread ' From the turmoil and the strife. Time was with bated breath I caught the sound from far. And followed the oriflamme As the white plumes of Navarre. But I wearied of the strife ' As the smoke of battle lowered And I saw the spoils of victory won And worn by slave and coward. MRS. R. E. SMITH.

The Oriole. Oriole, list to the plaint they bring. Unheeding thy breast of gold. The flashing lisht of thy glancing wing. Thy note so free and bald. They say in the heart of the apple bloom. The rose blush of the peach. Like corsair bold their sweets untold, Thy slender bill doth reach. But "I say" is a mischievous, dangerous elf. And I doubt It an o'er true tall. The flowerets fair, with their fragrance rare. The truth of the plaint assail. Pr welcome free we pive to thee At the earliest brenth of spring. And linger Ions with your gladsome song, Sweet as the thoughts you bring. MUS. R. E. SMITH. A FRENCH lilt KCl I RIDGE. Scandal nnd Trnuedy Affecting n S'.ipprensor of Immorality In rnrin. Mdlle. Alice Pinard. a skilled musician and a composer of note, arrayed herseif in full bridal costume, locked herself in her room, lit sceial furnaces of chaicoal, and was found in the morning stone dead, says the Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia Telegraph. She left a n t? stating that she wished to carry the seem of her life intact into the grave, and earnestly entreated no one to pry into it. Human nature is so constructed that if one is requested not to investigate a secret the whole world instantly investigates diligently. So it was in this cas and frivolous Paris is chuckling in glee over the fact that a former senator, an ox-pastor. M. lide, was the direct cause of the pour girl's suicide. ; It seems that Mdlle. Pinard was madly in love with this gentleman, and he reciprocated the attachment, and they took various journeys together, and he wrote her numerous touching letters in which he called her his "dear little wife," etc.. and swore that as soon as he succeeded in divorcing his first wife he would marry Mdlle. Pinard. He obtained his divorce, said nothing about the fact, but went peacefully away and married another woman. Three days ag. the deserted Alice discovered that the man she loved and trusted had betrayed her. and went to his apartments and made a most fearful scene before several people who were dining with the r.ewly-rm tried pair. The pator, it is said, told her that he still loved her and had married merely for money. If Mdlle. Pinard had been a hard-her.d 1 Ani;lo-Saxon she would have sued the ex-senator for breach of promise and obtained heavy damages, which are accorded even in France; but, being a ser.ti n.mtal Parisian, she merely invoked the malediction of heaven upon the betrayer's household and told him she would kill herself. He calmly replied that people who threatened to commit suicide never carried out th3 threat, but it appears that this lady was the exception, which proves that rule. M. Dide is the president of the association for the suppression of immorality in tho. streets of Paris. He is seized with speechless horror when he beholds one. of the exquisite studies of the nude, in which Jules Lefebvre excels, and his piety. was the admiration of all beholders. In short, he was a living example of the dictum of the late archbishop of Paris, to whom some priest was vaunting the strict religious observances of a man whom the archbishop knew to be a scamn. His reply was: "It is infinitely easy to say one's prayers; it is infinitely hard to do one's duty." In N,I);inscr Yet. Father "I don't like that young man who comes to see Neliie." Mother "It may be nothing serious." "He has been sending her flowers and bringing her confectionery for weeks." "Others have done that and dropped off of their own accord." "Eut last niht he brought her some chewing gum." "Dear me! That looks serious. He loves her. Are you sure of it?" "I saw him give her the gum and she put it in her mouth." "Oh! That's all right. If she sat there and chewed gum she doesn't love him." Street & Smith's Good News. Enicines Mounted on Jlnltber. The vibration of stationary engines is sometimes sufficient to make neighbors as well as owners complain. In spite of the best balancing of the several parts of the machine it is hard to get rid of the vibration altogether. Several different ways of overcoming the evil have been invented. Perhaps the most effectual Is to mount the foundations of the engine on pillars and leave a wide trench around these and at a distance from the walls of the inclosing building. But even this plan does not entirely prevent a tremor. N. Y. Tribune. A Horrible Thought. Hicks "That rascal lilgginbotham has been lying about me again.

WOMAN AND HER HOME.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AD SVCCESSFIL CAREER OF MRS. GOTTI1EIL. Her Lorluc Tyranny Other Matters The "Women of Hrlttany A Professional Cnrlo Hunter The Story of Baby's Cry Feet and Shoes. Mrs. Emma Gotthell, wife of Prof. Richard J. H. Gotthejl of Columbia college has been signally honored by the French government, which, through the minister of foreign affairs, has conferred upon her the title of officer de l'Academie Francaise in recognition of distinguished services rendered to the French language and literature. There is another consideration that makes this decoration even more valuable in Mrs. Gottheil's eyes, and that is that, so far as known, she is the only woman living in America who is entitled to wear the crossed palms of the academy and the purple ribbon of an officer. "I was born in Beirut, Syria," says Mrs. Gottheil, "and educated In Paris. My father was of German parentage, ar.d my mother was a native of Hebron, In the Holy Land. Most of my schooling was obtained at the Ecole Superieur in Paris, where I studied until I was sixteen, at which age I was graduated. "I had always been partial to French literature and fond of the Btudy of languages a study which I have kept up. From Paris I was sent by the Alliance Israelete universelle to Beirut to undertake educational work, and there I founded a school. "This was in 1S79, and four years I continued in this educational work with gratifying success and at the end of that time was called to Aleppo in Mesopotamia, where the same class of work claimed my attention. In that place I established a school for girls under the auspices of the same society, and the success here achieved was pleasant in the extreme, for the numerical strength of the school was 320 scholars." From Aleppo Mrs. Gottheil went to Alexandria and spent some months, her object being to further the views of the Alliance Francaise, a society formed for the purpose of making the French tongue the universal language a language that would be understood of all eoples on the globe. Small need hid Mrs. Gottheil, however, so far as personal qualification g es, at that time for wishing to confine the linguage of civilized nations to one tongue, for even so far hick as 18S3she spoke five languages with fluency, and with this vocabularic equipment was in little dinger of not having her needs and necessities attended to. Since that time s-he ha. learned English, and though a slight accent is noticeable her speech in the language of the country i-? pure and betrays clearly a mastery of our peculiar forms and idioms. About ten years ago Mrs. Gottheil went to Pris, and there she at once became identified with many of the swell literary societies of the French capital. Always fond of literature, the opportunities there offered were eagerly embraced, ar.d the time sped onward pleasantly until the great, Exposition universelle roused France from its usual mode of life and brought a host of visitors. Mrs. Gottheil's home here is most tastefully furnished and hirbors a large library of choice works. It is just the ideal home for recreative study that a man and wife with literary fistes would, if possible, make for themselves. X. Y. Herald. Her I.ovlng Tyranny, . . I spoke to a lady the other day of her slstfr-in-law, who is one of our neighbors. "How well she manages her four children without any nurse:" I exclaimed. "She looks calm and untroubled, and yet I know shi? is delicate." "She is a vornan of great decision of character," was the answer. "She has a system about the children. She never allows them to question what she says, and you know that ?aves a great deal of fret and worry." The next morning I made a short call on the subj-ct of our remarks. The lady came into the parlor, and after shaking hands with me turned to take a chair and found that the two-year-old baby had followed her. "Why. baby, I didn't know you were here. Run out to brother." "Xo. Me don't want to." "Oh. yes," was the smiling answer. "Bivther will play school, with you." The baby retreated slowly till she reached tho middle of the room, and there she stood, with her tinger in her mouth, eying her mother closely. The mother had turned in her chair away from me and was watching th-? bihy smilingly. It was evident that the caller was entirely forgotten for the moment. It was the first importance that tie baby should mind. I made a little note of the fact, too, that thore was no "prunes and persimmons" expression on the mother's pretty face. She had simply spoken and ex-4 pocuVl the baby to do as she had said. "Xo!" burst from th? baby. "Oh, yes!" smiled mamma. "Erother is all ready to play with you." The baby stood a moment longer, finger in her mouth, studying her mother's face, and then ran out of the room. Thn, and not until then, did the mother give me her attention. The incident made such an impression on me that I want to write It for young mothers. I began with the theory that the best way to bring up a child was to reason wVh him and !n that "way teach him obedience. I abandoned that theory long ago and wish now that I had never held it for a day. When "implicit obedience" was brought to my mind. I rejected it, largely because, under my new responsibility, I was newly conscious of my own fallibility. "How can I." I would say to myself, "always know the right command to enforce?" Xow I say to myself, "Be as nearly right as you can. but go ahead." Implicit obedience, lovingly enforced, is the only way to bring up a child, and "eternal vigilance" is its price. St. Louis Republic. A Professional Cnrlo Hunter. Miss Clara Millard of London has opened a new vocation for women that of "curio collector." She makes it her business to hunt up rare books, china and anything outlandish for which some man or woman yearns. When sixteen years old, she had to devise some method of support and created the on? at which she has acquired a competency and fame. What Miss Millard particularly enjoys is being challenged to find something that collectors despair of ever possessing. An English bibliomaniac challenged her to find the late Matthew Arnold's "Alaric at Rome." It seemed as though the quest was a hopeless one, but she -was successful and had the satisfaction of putting the poem Into her challenger's hands, worn and tattered and shorn of Its cover, but still complete. Two years ago she discovered a copy of Robert Browning's "Pauline." Her business has its amusing incidents. On ono occasion she advertised a tiger skin for sale in the columns of the Times. The compositor played havoc with the advertisement, which appeared without the word "skin." The mail brought many inquiries after the animal's health and diet, and Mr. Jamrach, owner of a circus, telegraphed that he was coming down to fetch it. Chicago Tribune. Ilnslness Women' Clothes. The business woman must wear good clothes. But. she should not give an Impression that she puts the major part of her Income Into her wardrobe. Extreme care should be taken in the selec

tion of colon, as many that appear warm and lovely in the daytime are quite the reverse by lamp or gaslight. Especially Is this true of many purples that are hideous browns under the glare of the gas. Likewise some pinks become yellow, some blues green. The same rule holds good for evening wear. Many colors are lovely by day. but become dull in gas or lamplight. If you are purchasing material for an evening gown, it is well to make the selection in a part of the shop artificially lighted. America.

AVomen of Ilrlttnny. The women of Brittany still cling to the antique costume of their mothers, contdting of an open vest cut. square at the neck, an embroidered skirt and a great snowy coif and plaited collar. But the men, alas! no longer wear the bragon brass of the ancient Breton. The knee-breeches, embroidered vest and flowing locks of the Chouans are things of the picturesque past, seen at rare intervals upon some patriarch of the old regime. Models at Pont Aven are paid from 1 to 2 francs a day, but they are scarce and intractable. A Breton girl, for instance, cannot be persuaded to divest herself of her ample and snowy coif, and every stray ringlet is hidden away as carefully as if -rome public shame attached to its exhibition. This is mainly due to national prejudices, no doubt, but also in part. I fancy, to the fact that few of them have preserved their natural tresses. It will ease the mind of many of the prematurely bald to know that most of the artificial hair of the world is clipped from the heads of pretty Breton maidens, who are in all the heydey of youth and health. At every large fair there is to be found a dealer in aritiflcial hair, who offers the young girls a tenfranc piece in exchange for their chevelure. As it is no disfigurement to them, many accept the tempting offer, and a bunch of linen easly supplies the deficiency. Outing. The Story of naby'i Cry. In pneumonia and capillary bronchitis, according to a medical paper, the cry of a child is moderate, peevish and muffled, as if the door were shut between child and hearer. The cry of croup is hoarse, brassy and metallic, with a crowing inspiration. That of cerebral disease, particularly hydrocephalus, is short, sharp, shrill and solitary. Marasmus and tubeicular peritonitis are manifested by moaning and wailing. Obstinate, passionate and long continued crying tells of earache, thirst and hunger or the pricking of a pin. The pleuritic cry is louder and shriller than the pneumonic and is evoked by moving the child cr on coughing. Tbe fretful cry of intestinal ailments is often accompanied by wriggling and writhing, an indication the nurse soon lea'ns to interpret. Exhaustion is manifested with a whine. Crying before or jut after coughing indicates pain caused by the act. The return or inspiratory part of the cry grows weaker toward the fatal end of all diseases, while the absence of crying during disease is often of graver import than its presence, as it shows exhaustion and loss of power. Loud and intense screaming sometimes tell of gravel. Fort onil Shoes. Why do women who haven't got pretty feet and who know they haven't wear the boots that make their feet look their very worst? Such a woman can afford to wear but one kind of boot a laced one and never a low shoe under any circumstances. A buttoned boot does all very well for the first few days, while it still buttons trim and neat about the ankles, but every woman knows that it docs this for a few days only; then it loosens ani begins to take the shape of the foot, exaggerating its peculiarities every d.ty just a little, and by and by, before the bxt is half worn out, it is a kind of caricature of the foot, with every defect and imperfection exaggerated. The laced boot do?sn't do this, because it can be drawn up every morning like a nev boot, holding the foot always firmly and securely, and so acts as a corrective against any tendency the foot has to be ill-shaped and spreading. X. Y. Telegram. The Wliinti Kroom. "Xothing," says a woman whose housewifely skill and experience are coupled with an authoritative knowledge of sanitation, "makes a better dishcloth than no doth at all. but a whisk broom. The practice of using any old rag, an old stocking cut oien. which is a traditional country clot'.i, or any similar thing in sinks is well known to be foolish. Bits wear off aid b:come clogs to the drain pipes. If cloths must be had, those of coarse mesh, loosely knitted from a tightly woven ecrJ. are the best of the kind. A broom, however, is very much better. S?lect a short stubby one, and a trial will show its superiority. To scrape the bottom of saucepans and pots there is nothing so good." X. Y. Times. Ontrich Feather Fun. The handsomest feather fan on record is that owned by the Countess of Lonsdale, which consists of live wide white feathers, the longest twenty inches, with a handle of amber, having her monogram in diamonds and costing J1.500. Pearl, shell ard amber mountings and shorter feathers in the lyre-shaped fans cost from $L'." to ?!00. Even for $20 a dainty one, though simple, may be had. In the closing fans a really choice specimen costs from $15 to $2.j. From $8 to $15 come very stylish ones, but under that price they have a cheap look, though many are carried in bla'-k. light colors and the natural mixed gray. The sticks or mountings have much to do with the price. Exchange. Fay is I I,nce. Few ladies know that the beautiful lace known as fayal lace is made from the fibers of leaves of the bitter aloe, a relative of the common century plant. This lace Is manufactured by women, and the necessary skill is so rarely attained that there are alout twenty-five persons on the islands the Azores who can make it. The art needs to be practiced from childhood. In that respect it is like glass-blowing among men. The art cannot be acquired late in life that is, the kind of glass-blowing practiced in manufactories of glass for commercial use. Chicago Herald. "Washing the Little Ones. A New York physician says: "I think It is cruel to allow the faces and eyes of children to be washed over with soap and water in the coarse and rough way In which I have often seen it done. Some nurses appear to take a sort of morbid delight in its employment in this way. Even to an adult, soap in the eyes is a very painful ordeal to go through with. In the end it inevitably produces chronic, sometimes acute, ophthalmia. In washing children's faces with soap use fine llannel, a sponge or the corner of a towel." Bresnlng for Dinner. No sort of negligee dress should ever be worn in a public place. This rule 13 understood in a way, but the great trouble is that it seems rather hard to make people in general understand what come under the head of public places. A boarding house dining-room is one of them. Xo loose jacket that belongs, no matter how remotely, to the dressing sack family should be donned for this table, nor does a tea gown ever Eeem permissible. Philadelphia Press. A DriiKKit Snys. Marvin C. Brown, Druggist, Meredith Village, X. II.. says: I have sold your Sulphur Bitters for years, and. contrary to most medicines, I never sold a bottle to any one who said it did not help them. They cured me of those terrible sick headaches when every other remedy failed.

PRETTY OUTING COSTUMES.

Duck Salts Will De Mach Worn the Coming- Season. Duck suits are being much worn. Last year plain white, and black and white, and blue and white stripes were almost the only varieties to be found, but this season there are many more kinds. These costumes are usually made up with a plain skirt and a close-fitting Eton Jacket or short blazer and are trimmed with braid of various sorts or rows of stitching. They are very useful, as the goods have substance enough not to become limp after one wearing, and yet may be washed as frequently as is necDUCK JACKET. essary and come forth from the ordeal as good as new. A white duck suit Is very pretty worn over a blouse of delicately tinted wash silk. White nainsook blouses are also worn, having frilling embroidered with scarlet, lavender, blue or yellow. These waists are belted in, and the lower part does not show below the girdle. They are made with and without yokes, but usually have a ruffle down the front. Standing collars are more used than they were last year, when turn-back collars and cuffs prevailed. Shirt waists are also seen finished exactly like men's shirts and stiffly starched. Wide belts are worn this season and have neat open work clasps in sterling silver and silver and gold plate. These clasps may also be obtained separately and come in sets consisting cf a buckle, hook and slide. Sometimes a small buckle for the neck is included. Woven silk and canvas belts come in numerous shades, and when, it is desired to have the belt match the gown the firm bodied belting may be covered with a piece of the goods. This is a better plan than that of making a belt over lining material, as the latter is apt to lose Its stiffness and wilt down into an untidy string.
