A Uninterrupted Communication-

We are now nearly a week without Ia mail from the mainland. Those who were on the Stanley were fortun- ‘ate in efl'ecting a landing at Pictou :~Light. At this writing that source of -“uninterrupted communication” is fast _in the ice near Pictou, long suffering and forgiving people surely. But then, perhaps, we realize ‘that we are aftorall only a small por fitiou of the Dominion, and in those Rimes when might rules‘ rather than Eright, the six representatives we send ‘to0ttawa are “not in it." But, grant- Eiag we are a small province and only ‘lend in men t6 Ottawa, we have our _rights"and we should get them. Ore ‘of the clauses in the agreement by which this province entered Confeder- ation was that we should have uninter- rupted communication with the main- land. That part of the bargain is not and never will be carried out under the present systeua The tunnel must come and the sooner the better The undertaking will cost a lot of money. It took considerable cash to build the C. P. R. in order that the terms with British Columbia be fulfilled. Three millions of dollars have already been spontonan experiment-—the Chignecto Ship Railway ---and more is demand- ed before the work is completed and the feasibility of the scheme made known. Five millions of dollars have been voted for the Soulanges Canal, _which is to run paralell with one now in operation. The tunnel is is neces- 'sity. It is not ap experiment or an election kite and the government should undertake the work at once.- 5 Our representatives in parliament we trust, will impress the importance inf this much needed undertaking upon the government. -—-‘-€004}-i—

\Vum+_-n's Wnrk, what is it I Some say it is in the home only doing those com- mon acts of drudgery, that so many come in contact with in our everyday lives, and taking care of the babies. We maintain it is there, but not there only; we believe it is the duty of every woman to have such love for home that the duties that press themselves upon the wives and daughters of the laboring man will mt seem like mere drulgery, but we ought to have a higher object in view, believing we are filling the place that God has called us to fill, so that we may make the duties of everyday life a pleasure instead of a task. Then we can make home as cheerful and happy as we can, so that our husbands, sons and brothers will find so many attractions at home that willing hands and longing hearts have planned for their comfort that the saloon will not have the attractions for them, that it would have if they returned home to find mother, wife and sisters out of humour and everthing about home in a slatternly condition. Then we can symp- athize with them in their trials; for there is none exempt from the full grown man in the shop, on the farm, in the store. and in every calling in life down to the smallest school-boy. Gught we not to take them into our confidence and assist them in every way we could, for they must have sympathy and if they can not get it at home they will look for it else where. We can also teach the children the terrible crimes performed by those addicted to strong drink! ‘ We can see

department of temperance work and help them keep their pledges. We can have our names enrolled in 3 me temperance society and thus by precept and example help them along in that direction. Then there is that never failing source of help viz.—our prayers for and with our chil

dren. Then we can use our influence outside the home, for God and Temper- ance anywhere, and everywhere. We can show what side we are on. About the enfranchisement of women I will not speak believing it to be a subject in itself requiring far more thought than I am ready to bestow on it at present, more than to say if that is to be the only as

we are to get Pmhibition.

Alcoholic Liqu

BY HIS‘) A. FORBES.

We have seen and heard much of the efl'ects of alcoholic liquors on the human system ; let us look for a few moments at the influence that leads to their use.

These influences are found in almost every community and in a great many forms, which often prove too strong for the boys and girls going out from the home, unless fortified by staunch home training in temperance. A Children may be taught the principles of religion in their homes, but let them once see that their parents are careless in. regard to this question of temperance,- even though not directly opposed to it, and the influence is almost sure to follow them through life, and will consequently lead them to use the poison" which they would other- wise have shunned bad they been warned of its evils by those who had the care over them. How many fathers and mothers there are today, who are mourn- ing over sons and daughters lost to them through strong drink, who can, if they will, look back to the time gvhen those children were pure and unstained by sin, and were tempted by their own hands and influenced by their own exam- ple to drink the poison, who may blame their own folly for the ruined hopes and prospects of those near and dear to them.

If parents would only think seriously of the responsibility laid upon them when bringing up’ a child, we feel that they would not put temptations in his way that would darken his future and wreck his happiness for life.

None but those who have experienced know how sensitive most boys are to ridi- cule, or how hard it is to oppose their companions when asked to join in their amusements however questionable they may be. How earnestly then should pa- rents and teachers strive to impress upon the minds of the young boys that they cannot mingle in any degree With 311050 who have formed bad habits and yet go unspotted themselves.

One of the first of these habits learned is smoking; anl it is almost invari- followed by drinking and gambling, to, say nothing of pro- fanity. To the untaught boy. what a feelfrig ~of conceit takes possession of him when he has mastered the nauseous qualities of the tobacco, and can smoke his pipe with ease and comfort. He feels atoncethatheisamanjaud readytobe admitted to the society of men»; and where will he be readily admitted to their, than at saloons and drink- ing-houses where he is at oacemadete feel athome, and iawsleometojoiuthem in l_Irink,asmo_ke.aad agame ofoards; wide to hi motlIer"au"d others like-mind- °‘l "'0 ‘W .'°f..f

G UARD Another influence which does much to-

is the; fact that their fathers and other Christians advocate the sale of it. They vote for it and license it to be sold in their midst and thus any that it is right to drink it. Can they blame their boys for br- coming drunkards? God grant that the time is not far distant when men will see that intemperauce is a curse and blight to our land that they will not endure and will rise and drive it out for ever.

.j_.—..¢.._.__..:_ Pointer for Advertisers-

Well-written advertisements are more than fifty cent news. Assertions can be made and sustained that there are cases on record where there has been more real brain matter expended on the making up of an advertisement than in the construc- tion of many pages whichrest. under thel dignified name, literature. -—[Suuth Bend 1nd,) Tribune.

Never fix the price of anything so low that you can’: eff-vrd to advertise it.

Circulars bit only once, if at all, and are then consigned to the waste-basket.

Don't advertise spasmodically—ke_ep.at it. Your particular line of goods may not he wanted to-day; they will be sought to-morrow, or the day after.

Don’: run the same card from January

to December. Change occasionally. Don't get into a rut. H ave some vim. People won't and can't. guess that you

have a good thing.

Success means thought. It costs no more to publish good matter than poor. Prepare your matter carefully; make it attractive;don’t crowd; let your catch linesbe bo‘d. ' i

Grett fortunes made by advertislu Napoleone are often referred to. But «ho has counted the moderate fortunes,‘ the comfortable competencies, and the steady sources of income that are to be credited to newspaper advertising?
