All agree that intemperance is one of the
worst e7ils that can afflict a people. The
way TO eradicate it is a question that should
address itself to all classes. The women's

and tine othes temperance organizations have
accomplished q great and lasting work Like
all other evils intempcrance will succumb, at
least in part, to true moral force. vel

there are those whom moral forces will moi

laws have been found necessary. The prin

A Mountain in Mexico Sinks Out of
Sight.

Adjacent to the hacienda of Santa Cat
arina, about twenty leagues to the east
of the city, very remarkable freak of
nature has occurred, the facts concern
ing which we have received from a gen
tleman who visited the scene. On the
7th inst. the people of the hacienda and
vicinity we're aroused by startling noise
resembling thunder. Upon assembling
to see what was the matter, it was soon
discovered that small mountain in the
Immediate vicinity had sunk into the
earth, and it must have gone out of
sight like flash. Our informant, with
others, made observations, and learned
that the aperture thus opened was 200
metres in length, $50 in width, and it's
depth from 100 to $50 metres. It was
with great difficulty the rim Of the cav
ern was approached, as all about there
were great yawning assures which
threaten to open still wider. To miss
step there was danger of finding grave
in the depths beneath. Some stones,
weighing about two pounds each, were
thrown into the cavern, and it took from
nine to ten seconds before they struck
the bottom, their contact with the sur
face beneath making great report. AT
ter these brief observations, the explor-
ing party retired hurriedly from the
scene, as the earth was trembling and
shaking as if upon balance. The To-
cation Of this strange phenomenon is
situated in the terra caliente (warm
region), and mesquites and palm trees
flourish all about. Whenever any por-
tions of the earth along the rim of the
cavern fell into the depths immense
clouds of white dust issued forth. This
dust was carried about by the winds
and made all the trees in the vicinity
perfectly white. Speculation is rife as
to whether the mountain sank owing to
earthquake influences or from the result
of gas explosions. 1t could not be at
tributed to the former very well, as no
shocks were felt in the nieghborhood.-

Shall Suicides Be Cremated?

The proprietors of the cremating fur
mace at Washington, Pa, have been a
good deal exercised over the question
whether they shall cremate the bodies
of suicides. At first they decided, with
out any apparent good reason, that they
would not give suicides the benefit of
their furnace. Now, equally without
any apparent reason, they have changed
their minds and consented to cremate
the particular suicide concerning whom
the question was raised. It used to be
the custom to deny suicides Christian
burial but that custom has long since
become obsolete. Is it to be revived
again when cremation is substituted for
interment?

The wind was blowing loud and shrin,
The clouds were coming fast;
The booming thunder boding i'll,
Had reached the church at last.
And crouching meath the entry-porch,
With eyes made large with wonder
A truant child sought refuge there,
And feared the deaf ming thunder.
The WIND was blowing high and loud,
Had thrown the ancient steeple;
The 1ocd that poured from the Wrathful cloud
Alarm ed the devout people.
sill ut prayer rose from each,
A q hearts beat quick with wonder
And parted lips, too white for speech,
AS burst the deaf'ning thunder.
A song was heard in the lull of storm
ITO me it still is ringing)
From meath the ancient entry-porch,
We heard small voice singing
'EThough little child be,
Still my Maker cares for me;
And to Him alone I'll raise
Hymns of joy and songs of praise"
The pastor bowed him where he stood,
Said: "Thanks for the trust of babes-for the song
Which uuickens our faith in the infinite God,
And comforts this troubled throng."
The lightning, flaming like torch,
No more the flock dismayed;
We heard again from meath the porch:
cit is I-be not afraid"

A pleasant dream of thee;
