GAS FUEL.

According to Gen, Hickenlooper, of Cincinnati, natural gas doesn't amount to much after all. He says that to be as cheap as ooal at $2.50 per ton natural gas must l)e sold at 10 cents per 1,000 feet, a price that would not justify its conveyance very far certain ly. But the general i« in favor of gas fuel for all that, only ho think* it can bo made so cheaply from coal us to throw natural gas in the shade*. Considering the enormous waste in the ordinary way of burning coal, he figures that coal gas at $1.08 per 1,000 feet Is cheaper than coal for domestic use. And this without taking Into account the vastly increased economy obtained by the use of the Bunsen burner, which, acting as an injector, carries forward to tho point of combustion nix parts of air to combine with the hydrogen and caribou of the gas,

It is ostimated that coal gas at 75 cents is as cheap as anthracite coal at $0.25 a ton. Now in largo cities the gas is already ottered for fuol at $1 per thou sand and with its increased use in that way the price will undoubtedly go lower, If thin figuring bo corroct it would seem that tho day of fuol gas has already ar rived and that the nuisance and waste of oeal Area must soon be a thing of the past. ___________

THE LIFE OF OH It 187. Nover before was there so much study of the life and character of Jesus as thore Is to-day. Not only is this line of study in tho chut ehos and Sunday schools more thorough and comprehensive than over, but sciontirtoand learned men In various parts of tho world are deeply interested lu this unique and phenomenal character and are trying to reach a true solution of his Iran go life. Among the grand books of which lie is the subject are Farrar's and Oeikle's Lives, Prof. Soeley's

The subject will be treated In the name masterly way that made his "Light of Asia" so attractive to thoughtful men. Spain's gifted man, Emile Castelar, has undertaken the same work and in our own country the poet, Joaquin Miller, is busy with a poet's life of the great teacher of men. From this many -sided study of the Christ we shall surely come to know his divine and human character hotter and more of his spirit will come to enter into the Uvea of tnen.

A WOMAN'S TEMPLE.

The laying of the foundation stone of the grand Woman's Temple at Chicago, last Saturday, is an event worthy of more than passing notice. Erected on land in the heart of Chicago valued at one million dollars, the building will cost $1,100,000, and will be probably the greatest work of the kind ever under taken by women. It is an outgrowth of the W. C. T. U., and will be the national headquarters of that remarkable association of Christian women workers. It estimated the rentals of the building will amount to $250,000

a year, thus re

turning a clear profit of about

100,000,

$150,000,

which will be used in the work of the association. A pretty feature of the corner stone laying was the singing by 2,000 little girls ef temperance hymns composed expressly for the occasion. Miss Wil lard and Mrs. Carse laid the cornerstone in the presence Of a vast throng of people. The idea of sueh a building originated with Mrs. Carse, who thus explained its inception in her address: "I felt that here was the place for a beautiful temple, different from any the world had ever seen, fitted for the needs of the age. uniting beauty and utility a great building, within whose ample walls a quiet, retired, holy place could be found where devout souls who mourn over the immorality and intemperance of the world could meet and supplicate God daily to save tho nation's homes."

The building of such a temple, for such a purpose arid by such an association of women, Is a fact which speaks more eloquently than any words could do of the growing diguity and power of true womanhood in this Nineteenth century. The noble, courageous, persistent and conquering fight of tho Woman's Christian Temperance Union against the liquor habit is one of the grandest events of the age. What the end shall be is for the years to reveal, but there is little danger in prophesying that the good women of America will never retiie from the contest until the cause of home, temperance and patriotism is triumphant.

WHAT WAS ITf

The result of the general elections on Tuesday was a surprise to Republicans and Democrats alike. The former were surprised at the extent of their defeat and the latter at the cyclonic proportions of their victory, From a good working majority of Republicans the House of Representatives will have a large Democratic majority of 80 to 100 in the 52nd Congress. It was a landslide all along the line. For the first time in its history Iowa elected a majority of Democrats to the House. The Demo cratlo gains in Congressmen are general throughout tho East and West. Democratic Governors havo been elected in the Republican States of Massachusetts, Pennsylvauta, Wisconsin, Nebraska and New Hampshire. It was Indeed a political cyclone.

What was the cause of it? The Republicans talk of apathy and the usual "off-year"

tendencies of the country to

go Democratic. There is something in that no doubt, but it does not account for the result. Undoubtedly the McKinley

bill is in the main

responsible for the

Republican dofeat. The tariff policy of the

&lst

Congress has been repudiated

by the country. That is the long and short of it.

There were side issues in

various States, like the compulsory school law in Wisconsin, but the main issue throughout the country was the tariff and the voters have said, in language that Is unmistakable, that they want lower duties than the McKinley bill provides—at least aa they understand the provisions of that bill. The Republicans claim that the bill is not fairly understood and that more thorough study

its provisions will

change the present attitude of thepnblio mind towaitis it. Such may or may not be the case. At all events the bill as now understood does not suit a majority of the voters, that Is clear. It remains to be seen if, during its dosing itesslon, the Slat Congress can so far restore the Republican party to public confidence as to secure the election of a Republican President In 1898.

idea

for centuries that the use of

prevailed

alcohol

was

longevity.

The

opinion of the medical world has undergone a revolution in recent years as to its value in sickness and it is now entirely discarded by many physicians.

But aa a destroyer of life alcohol ia worse than the plague. The number of, its victims in the United States each year is variously estimated at from 60, 000

and at fully

200,000

England. If the cholera or yellow fever should sweep away THAI

many people

annually, what a cry of horror would go up and what ffforts would be made to stay its ravages! But we have

got

used

to the daily and hourly horror of the liquor vice. The life insurance companies have aided the cause of morals by gathering reliable statistics as to the effects of liquor-drinking. Statistics covering period of 17

years in Great Britain show

a difference of

per cent, in the death

rate between total abstainers and the general public. In this country the rate of mortality per thousand has been found to be, among beer-drinkers 45.97

cent. among spirit-drinkers

61,94

among

11.45.

When to this is added the damaging effects of alcoholism on the descendants of drunken parents, Ve have an overpowering sense of the folly and sin of intemperance. Prof. Krafft-Ebing has shown the effects of alcoholism upon posterity to oe as follows: first genera tion, moral depravity, alcoholic excess second generation, driuk mania, attacks of insanity, general paralysis third generation, hypochondria, melancholia apathy and tendency to murder fourth generation, imbecility, idiocy and ex tinction of family.
