Hia MaJtfy Rejection of the PiwCeawd Wise Helped to Reclaim m ' - ' Profligate. .. '" They were just sitting down to the table, 12 boys, their faces bright, their eyes sparkling' with the anticipation of the dinner that was before them. It was Clifford Ray's birthday and hia mother had said he might invite 11 of his friend to a dinner party. Clifford was an only child and an only grandchild and, strange as it may seem, he was blessed with three grandmoth ers. The way he came to have more than hia share of grandmothers was that his mother had married again, so there was her mother, his father's, mother and his stepfather's mother; stranger yet, they lived together, to all appearances, in peace and. concord, and vied with each other in petting and. spoiling Master Clifford. The boys lost no time in starting on the good things, and they ate as only healthy, growing boys can eat. They did not talk much at first, they were too busy for that; but they enjoyed themselves thoroughly, which made Mrs. Bay and the three kind old grand mothers who waited on them, bdam with pleasure. After they had got fairly started. Mrs. Hay unlocked the door of a little cupboard, built in the wall, and said, smilingly: "Now, boys, I'm going to give you your choice of some very fine wine. I, have all kinds here, and you can take your choice, in honor of Clif ford's birthday." "Oh, that's fine, mother!" exclaimed Clifford. "Come, boys, what kind will you have?" No one answered, so Mrs. Bay turned to the boy at the head of the table, George Warner, the biggest of the 12, and the most popular; George usually took the lead in everything. As Mrs. Bay turned to him he an swered, politely, but without the slightr TIJE LITTLE CUPBOARIX-FANDORA'S BOX. est hesitation: - "I won't take . any. thank you, Mrs. Ray." The boys looked at him in surprise, ai.d Clifford's mother soid: "What! Not any wine? Oh, you are not so par ticular! Of course it wouldn't do for byys to make a practice of Jnn.kiog it; but this is something extra, a.iil a glass won't hurt you; it will make a man of you." George was tempted to reply that he kuew just what kind of a man it would make of him, he had seen men likfiti.it; but be did not like to say anything rude to Mrs. Bay, so he answered politely but sis firmlv aa before: "No. thank vou. I t ea Uy can't take it. Please don't urge me!" "Come, now! You. wont refuse a lady, I'm sure!" All eyes were turned on George, lie colored slightly as Mrs. Bay poured out a glass of the sparkling beverage and set it before him; but his resolve was not shaken and he repeated : "I'm sorry to have to refuse you anything, but indeed, I can't take it.". Mrs. Bay was evidently annoyed. "WelL I won't press you, if it's against your principles to drink it," she said, and turned to the next boy with: "Well, youH take it, Harry Clark?" George s refusal had given Marry courage to act. He knew his mother would not want him to take the wine; but he would not have been strong , enough to refuse if it had not been for ' his friend s example, so he said: 1 don't believe 111 take any, either, Mrs. Ray." Frank Miller, who sat next to Harry, said the same, and so it went all around the table until it came to Clifford. "You'd better shut up the cupboard, mother, I don't believe any of the fel lows want it." Then they went on eating their din ner and were soon as merry as if the interruption had not occurred. The in cident -was seemingly forgotten. But there was one who did not forget it. In the next room there was a lis tener of whom none of the boys were aware. Mrs. Bay's brother had long been a source of trouble to his family. It was the old story of bad company and then all sorts of dissipation. He had tried one business after another, to make a failure of all. A. last he had gone away, and his family hoped that the separation from his old companions might reform him;, but he came back an utter wreck and failure. Howard Morse had come in while the boys were at dinner. He was sober then; but he intended going cut later in the evening with a number of boon companions, and "makinga night of it" as usual. The door between the dining loom and the library, where he had thrown himself down on thedivan, was if OfMmrm t w Wm0M i open, and he heard hia sister's offer of. the wineand George's refusal. " , . It reminded him of the time when he took his first glass of wine and then he thought of the events which fol lowed. Like all drunkards, at times he would have given anything he pos sessed to break the awful bondage, and he now wished heartily that when he had been offered his first glass he had, like George, had the courage to refuse. Then the thought came to him: ; "Am 1 going to be outdone by a boy 12 years old ? What he can do, 1 can ; it isn't too late yet. If God will only forgive me and help me, I'll never toueh another drop." A few minutes later the boys and Mrs. Bay and the three grandmothers were greatly surprised to see Howard Morse walk into the dining-room and greet them cordially. , Since he had started on the downward path he had kept taciturnly to himself when he was at home, and avoided meeting any of the people who visited there. This was a new Howard, surely 1 After dinner, instead of hurrying out of the house, he joined the boys in the library. He was so entertaining, in stituting new games, and telling thrill ing stories, that no one could believe the clock right when its hands pointed to the hour for leaving. Reluctantly the boys went home, after bidding "Uncle'Howard" a hearty good-night. v As George was going IJovwrd caught his arm and drew him aside. "I want to tell you, George, that you have saved me to-night," George's eyes opened wide in aston ishment. "Saved you? I?" "Yes; it was your example in refus ing the wine, that set me to thinking, and I resolved never to touch another drop of liquor or have it in the house. I would like to join your temperanee so ciety. I want to help save others who have been as low as I was." George was very happy that night, and when he prayed to his Heavenly Father he did not forget to thank Him for the privilege which had been given to him to save a soul by his example. Howard Morse kept his word. He not only joined the temperance society, but later on the church, and was well known throughout the community as an earnest worker'. Some years afterward he started out as a temperance lecturer and was the means of leading many from the "broad way that leadeth to destruc tion." And in all his lectures he never failed to give credit to the boy who had stood firm for his principles, and by bis example pointed him to the way in which he was now walking.

An investigation has lately been made into the question of the num ber of cigarettes annually smoked in the United States, and an enthusias tic statistician has discovered that ten years after the smoke of the first .cig- arette was blown from the lips of the pioneer of American cigarette smokers, the annual consumption amounted to 1,000,000. This wasaboutthe year 1874. It reached the billion mark in 1884 ,aiid five years later it was 2,000.000.000, and in 1893 it was 3,000,000,000 annually. A comparison of these figures and pe riods of progression in the habit will give some idea of the rapidity with which it spread. For instance, while it took a period of five years, from 1884 to 1S89, for the consumption to increase from one billion to two bil lions, it required only four years to add another billion to the statistics. In 1894 and 1895 the figures made an other big jump, and in 1898, the latest year for which statistics are available, the number of cigarettes of all kinds, foreign and home-made said to have been sold in the country, approximated the enormous amount of 4,000,000,000. Placed end on end these 4,000,000,000 cigarettes would almost encircle the earth, and what is of far more impor tance, if th.e money thus annually ex pended 'were turned, into charitable' channels, it would put a pair oi snoes on every child a the country, and pur chase the necessaries of life for 100, 000 families!
