MILLIONS ON THE STRIKE In spite
of the enormous amount OF capital in
vested in the promotion of Intemper-
ance, the Missionaries of Sobriety have
no reason to be disheartened. The
strike against alcoholic drinks is not
confined to the ordinary liquors of
commerce. 1t is extending to all med
icines of which ardent spirits form 4
component part. The belief that slim
ulants of this nature are SI0W pOisonS
gains ground everywhere. Eminent
Psychologists preach the doctrine, and
the dissecting knife and the micro
scope afford post norton evidence Of
its truth. Fortunately at the very time
when our distinguished surgeons were
making the experiments which led to
this conclusion, a sagacious member OF
the profession, DR. Joseph Walker of
California, was perfectng a vegetable
tonic, possessing all the restorative
properties claimed for the spirituous
astringents, and free from their deadly
sting, To those demoralizing, health
destroying potions his famous VINEGAR
BTrTERs seem to be giving the coup de
grace. The demand for them declines.

Parent and Child.

Intimacy between parent and child
may seem strange thing to many II
father and mother. You know that a
child should respect YOU. you know that
a child is i'll duty bound to love YOU, as
You are to love the child. But YOU have
never thought of the propriety. the ne
ce>>lty for intimacy between parent and
child. Since the days of solomon, aud
since the ages before solomon, writer's
on morals have fully appreciated the
necessity for obedience to parents but
how few have ever understood that the
parent is bound i'll duty to he the init
mate friend of the child And vet grain
OF intimacy is worth Il hundred weight
of authority. Let lis not under estimate
authority either. We are not advocates
for the week indulgence that lets the
child 90 without restraint. But intimate
and confidential friendship is worth in
tinitcly more than all authority. When
manhood comes. the authority must
cease. But the parent who has the con
tidence of his child has an influence over
the child that lasts forever. The strong
man never outgrows the restraint of the
parental influence. if only the intimacy
has been kept up. While. then. IL par
cnt should never from Incidence, over
look Il fault that may grow to something
worse. whilst parent should never,
from mere tc"hlmcSS. Weld to a child he
should seek I" bring every disagreement

possible: if YOU must intlirt punishment,

drug store of Dr. i. Il. Barnum. corner
of Fifth and York streets. and while on
the sidewalk Il great ovcrgrowm eur
jumped upon it and broke one of its
fore icg~. The howls of agony emitted
ll the poor little fellow attracted the
attention of DIR. Barnum. and at his
suggestion the dog was taken into his
store. and the doctor proceeded to set
the broken leg and splinter and bandage
it. The dog resisted the operation with
all his power. and snapped and hOwled
the whole time. The dog was taken
home. and after an absence of four DAYS
returned to the store of its own accord,
walked up To Dr. Barmum, waggiug its
tail and whining, and held out the
broken leg for the doctors Inspection.
An examination revealed the fact that
the bandagcS and splimtcrs had become
di>alIangcd. and were evidently caus-
ing great pain. The doctor rcarranged
the dressings, and the dog hoped
away. Every day since then the dog
comes regularly to the store and holds
ont its leg to the doctor. as much as to
say. Look at that, Doctor, and see how
its getting along" The examination
over, the dog goes home. His leg is
nearly well, and it remains to be seen
whether, like many of the human race,
