SUenc* Hot A lirijv on Indication of WUdam, Talking' it not simply a liabit, bat a matter of original constitution. Some porsons have a talking endowment and some have not. There is a positive fac­ ulty o f expression, or vocalisation, of which silence is merely the negative. As cold is only the' absence of heat no silence may not be the result of pru­ dence bat the want o f a g ift o f speech. There is a popular impression that great talkers are, o f course, flippant and that silent people are, presumptive­ ly, wise. In popular estimation, to say o f a man: “ Ho talks a great deal," is equivalent to saying that he thinks but little. But w ill observation hear this out? It is true that some wise people are taciturn; but others, equally saga­ cious, are talkative.: Some foolish peo­ ple talk a great deal, but there are a great many foolish people who are very uncommunicative. On the other hand, some wise men. talk very little, and others, equally wise, talk a great deal. A little observation will show, too, that some silent men think much, and other silent men very little. I t is true that a training in the ways of the world w ill render a man cautious qf what he says, and how and where he says it; but the .impulse of speech, is so strong in many natures that nothing can repress it Gen. Sherman was an incessant talk­ er. He would talk for hours, for the sake, it would seem, of relieving him­ self o f some inward fullness. Gen. Grant, except in private and confiden­ tial circle, was a very silent man. Yet both of those men were wise,.and each one undoubtedly wqs a great genius Grant was not any wiser for his silence, nor was Sherman less wise for. his speech. Each of them was wise in his own way. Some people hold their peace because, they w ill not say anything, some be­ cause they cannot say anything and others because .they have nothing to say! Silence is a mere cover. It hides thoughts and equally it hides empti­ ness, As solemnity is the arch-father .of hypocrisy—the mask behind which cant and insincerity practice their parts —so silence is sometimes used to hide .weakness or folly; A talkative man is seldom over-esti- .mated; a silent than often is. Thera is great cunning in a judicious silence, To s\t quietly while one talks, to look knowingly, to shake the head, skill­ fully,'to retire with grave feature aod silent tongue, gives one the reputation o f being wise, considerate andself-con­ tained. He is to be most commended who uses speech or silence as an instrument of bis will. Some there are who dis­ cern yonr moods and occasions, and koow when silence w ill soothe or when speech wilt cheer. Their converse is food when you hunger or medicine when yon are sick. It docs not assault you, rapping on your unwilling ears, like a sheriff that forces on you a process. I t steals in like a summer wind from the garden. The silence of such is like a pause in music, holding you gbntly between sweet sounds re­ membered and those expected.—N. Y. Ledger. _________________ SOMETHING IN FANCY WORK. Directions fo r Makings Bureau Set and a Useful Bag. * Bureau set—A beautiful one may be ' made o f thin sheer muslin in this way: I f tho bureau has a flat top cut a piece o f the muslin long enough to cover it, then stamp upon it a conventional pat­ tern of wild roses, if it is a pink room, or nasturtiums if it. is a yellow room. Work these in silks, using a deep but­ tonhole stitch for tho outside o f the flowers. Cover all o f tho plain part with cobweb etching with flue silk. Finish the edge with a hem and lace. Have a pieco of silk or sllesia, either white or a suitable color, to jnst cover the top of the bureau under the muslin one. A square for the top of the pin­ cushion should be made to match. Another pretty way to make these covers is to get a thin material without stiffening and pull ont threads in both directions, each third one being taken. This leaves it in small squares like can­ vas, upon which the design may be worked, rope linen or silk floss being used for the parpose. The work may be made all over or as a border. A convenient bag—Get two colors oi ribbon two inches in width and thirty inches in length, and have four lengths, two o f each. Sew them together with the colors alternating. Then fold them after it is carefully pressed out, and join the sides to. within two inches of the top. Cut the fends o f each strip of ribbon to a point, then face these down with plain silk, the color of one o f the ribbons. Make a casingbelow the points through which a narrow ribbon that wltl pull both ways is run. Make small pockets o f pieces o f the ribbon to sew to the inside o f the bag. They may be o i different sizes to hold pins, needles, thimbles and scissors. I f any one de­ sires, pockets can also be made oh the outside by passing a width of the rib­ bon lengthwise around the lower part o f the hag and tacking it at each width o f ribbon to make it wide enough to hold a spool o f thread easily. Fall the pockets at the lower edge and sew rub­ ber Cord into a fine casing across tho upper edge. This will hold the pock­ ets firm.—Chicago Herald. TEMPERANCE NOTES.

I Physiological Huln Brought About by Al­ coholic i (quota. At the pace at which Americans gen­ erally travel; overwork seems a neces­ sity. A feverish and tumultuous ener­ gy inspires all labor, whether .by hand or brain. What \yill be the outcome no man can foresee. Ambition, netv fields to explore and to conquer, competition, the desire for wealth and luxury, and, above all,- that nervous, excitable con­ stitution known as. the "American temperament," ' all are factors in the tendency to overwork. The conse­ quence is \ylmfc may be termed “ physio­ logical bankruptcy." The term ex­ plains itself. Mental and physical conditions cor­ relate and imply each other. I f John Smith uses up more than his fixed in­ come, month by month, he encroaches npon his principal. I f John uses less than his income a reserved fund accu-. imilates from which ho draws in mo­ ments of emergency. But his principal remains unimpaired. In regard to John's vital force the same law holds good. When he lives as ho ought a reserved force is stored up which shall be his safeguard against physical ills and strains! In fact, John is, in a large measure, guarded against, physical ills. lie is the one who defies epidemics and resists colds. He stands like a bulwark in opposition to all out­ ward shocks. I f John yields it w ill be to mental worries or to that haste to acquirematerial benefit which leads to overwork. According to the amount o f John’s reserved income fund and the demand made upon it will depend liis ability to meet drafts drawn during emergen­ cies. Justsoaccording to tho amount of vital force and the excessive subtraction from it during periods of over labor will be ids physical insolvency' or unhcnlth. Slight disturbing euuSus may he, read­ ily met. I f long continued or exces­ sive,' John is inclined to take n stim­ ulant. This goods up-tlic failing pow -. ers; John feels better. He is equal to anything. And so John acquires the habit of tippling. lint he fails to consider one im­ portant factor lathe- case. In spurring up his flagging forces beyond their' normal pace of expenditure, he Is just as certainly wrecking his reserve strength as is the individual who in business draws upon his capital wiU: no hope of return. In time both be­ come bankrupt. In material affairs the suppositious John-may retrieve his fortunes. Yet, as he is fully aware, this cannot be done unless he changes liis mode of do­ ing business; allows liis income, to ac­ cumulate, and so provides a capital | from which again to secure an income. j i Now, does John apply this same rule j Of nature upon the loss of vital force? ! After overwork does lie go slow'and ! altoiv vitality to accumulate till the * reservoir is filled? Ten to one by using a stimulant John is able to call upon all the stored energy in liis frame. His powers fail. A catastrophe follows. Neuralgia, rheumatism, dyspepsia and nervous exhaustion lose a portion of their horrors through the anesthesia of the dram. Soon heart failure closes up the business of this life. "Too bad!'" say his neighbors and friends. "Who would have believed it? John had such a fine career before him, and he was SO stalwart and hearty! Y e t he succumbed to heart failure. How prevalent lias become that dreadful disease!" I f John must live at the pace which has become common it is better that he should pass suddenly away through the failure o f an overworked organ to go beyond its normal action, than to f become a drunkard. > | For there are many Johns who dp not so exhaust the vital exchequer as to fail at once. Through stimulants ' and rich food they borrow from their capitals and go on again. Once this babit is begun there is no choice be­ tween a change o f the whole basis of life, and a continual borrowing from ■ themselves until tlrey are ruined. Like 1 the financial income, the physiological income is governed by certain definite and immutable law#, In both cases the true method c f recuperation is to reduce expenditure, I t has been said by a great medical authority that: " I t is through stimu­ lants chiefly that a man is able to ac­ complish his physiological ruin. I t re­ quires strenuous, unaided efforts for a man to reach liis reserve capital with­ out the aid of stimulants, though it iB possible to do so, But alcohol w ill en­ able him to do it more quickly and ef­ fectually, and tea will, if taken to ex­ cess, produce grievous evklences o f ex­ haustion. Neuralgia; sleeplessness, pal­ pitation of the heartland, muscular tremor follow the excessive use of tea as well as alcohol, and all stimulants, by virtue of their nature as stimulants, have certain injurious effects." These effects, if less terrible than those produced by imbibing alcoholic liquors, are certain and persistent. They make the man or woman forget self and fatigue. Work is easier, the nervous system is elated, the social fac­ ulties are called into play, and to the illusion the rough road is changed into a broad and beautiful arena Under whip and spur, first o f alco­ hol next of- strong tea and coffee, the brain'and nervous system prematurely yield.their energies,, awd the power of continuing that equilibrium which is termed health, and ail sorts of diseases follow. In my opinion temperance peo­ ple generally fail to sec the tendency of all stimulants. And I believe in the good time coming men will understand mjnds are the natural nutrition and stimulants of a highly developed hu­ manity.—Hester M. Poole, in Union Signal. A TERRIBLE APPETITE. A Cane. That ExtomU and' Perpetuate* ■_ Itself. Thera was a hard drinking man al­ ways able to attend to business. But he transmitted to his children such vitia­ ted constitutions that all died early oi disease, except one, whom I knew. He had chronic dyspepsia. The appe­ tite for liquor descended on the second generation with terrible power. His daughter early died o f consumption. One' son committed suicide for fear ol a second attack o f delirium tremens. The second son walked right on in the same oath till he was placed where he could get no liquor. He lives in that confinement yet. Intoxicating drinks not only blunt all the finer feelings, cloud the intel­ lect, and ruin the health o f the drink­ er, but doseend with fearful power on succeeding generations. The very, men who take every pains to improve the breed Of their horses, cows and hogs are so living os to deteriorate the race o f their own children. They care more for the'pure blood o f their cattle than the pure blood of their children. The worst pf this sin is that it is sclf- perpetuating and extending. I f it would use up the present drinkers only, it would not be so bad. But it is the horrid Minotaur that constantly demands hecatombs of bur children. It “ Gropes inyet unblasted regions for its miser* able prey: , Shall we guide Us gory. Ungers where our helpless children play?" —Bishop II. W. Warren, 1). D., in S. S. Times. FA C T ^ A NID~FRAGMENTS. W h is k y tangles a man all up a t first, but in tho end w ill en tirely undo him. — Yonkers Statesman. A shout ti me ago Rev. A. J. Wh eel or, o f New •Ilavcnj offered bags of flour to the needy, provided intoxicat­ ing drink or tobacco were not used in the family applying. This offer was made known through the press, and a deposit of fifty dollars was placed with tho Union Trust Company 'by Mr, Wheeler as evidence of good faith. No applications were received.—Christian at Work. T h e German authoiltics have been studying statistics, and have discovered that crime, pauperism and disease hare increased in proportion as the sale o f alcoholic drinks has increased. They declare that alcoholism means the deterioration of the nation, aud the government promptly seeks to stem the tide by throwing stringent, even harsh, restrictions around tho sale and consumption o f liquor. I t is said'that disease o f the heart is very prevalent in Munich, where tho consumption of beer amounts, on tho average, to 565 litres per held annual­ ly; and in the same place the duration o f life among the brewing trade is shorter than that of the general popula­ tion. Whereas the average age attained among the latter is 53.5 years, that of alehouse keepers is 51,35 years and ot brewers 42.53 years, The same note adds that for the whole of Germany the’ annual consumption of beer per head amounts to 88 litres, but for Ba­ varia it is 209 litres.—Ldndon Lancet, A m e d ic a l authority, says an Eng­ lish paper, has advised life insurance companies to issue policies to reform inebriates only at the same rates as to old men in order that financially they may be properly guarded. It is held that a man o f forty-eight who had been a hard drinker, but had abandoned the practice, would probably have his longevity so far impaired as to war­ rant a life insurance company in deal­ ing with him as though lie were from sixty-five to seventy years old. I t will be seen from this that the chances o f longevity are promoted by abstinence in early life as w ell as in later years, that in the matter o f using strong drink it is better, as Dr, Cuyler with much pertinence has Said, to “ stop before you begin."
