Temperance Items.

DO IN my conscience believe that
Intoxicating stimulants have sunk into
perdition more men and women than
found a grave in the deluge.-Rev. DR..
Guthrie.
A CITIZEN of Hartford, Conn, who
twenty years ago was worth 5000, 600,
was recently committed to the State
Hospital pennilesss vagabond. having
brought ruin upon himself and family
by drink.
ONLY partial success seems to have
followed the establishments of Drunkard's
Retreats in England. Although the
health of all the patients is improved
while under the care of the Institutions,
many fall back into drunkenness as
soon as they return to the temptations
of ordinary life.
The average life of Temperance
people is siXty-four years and two
months, while the average life of in
temperate people is thirty-tive years and
six months. Thus the average life of
drinker is but little more than half that
OF non-drinker; yet we are asked to
believe brandy, gin, whisky and beer
are wonderful promoters of health.
The Prohibition sentiment is still
growing, and the prospect is that it will
sweep over The country. The State that
refuses to acknowledge it will be looked
upon as trying to live in the past, re-
fusing the light of the present and deny
ing itself the home of certain future.
The liquor interests. by their impert-
nence and intolerance, have forced the
people to this public trial of strength.
and it is now to be determined who will
rule Workman.
How IT PAYs.-Last year the saloons
of America received over their counters
$3.50, 900, 600 more than the cost of all
our schools, from kindergarten up
through every grade of public school,
college and professional school. Were
this money put into some good paying
business, we should not object; but we
don't like the kind of pay the saloon
gives. 1t gives us drunken bloats for our
bright-eyed boys, ruined homes, sad-eyed
mothers, hungry, ill-trained children; it
gives us criminals, paupers, lunatics,
imbecles; it gives us murder and divorce
and we don't like that kind of pay

The Home and the Saloon.

What is there i'll common helpfulness
between the home and the saloon?
Place them side by side, watch their
aims, their methods and their results.
Are they not as diverse as light from
darkness?
The house is the cradle of innocence
and love; the saloon is the sepulchre of
both.
Over the home presides purity and
benevolence; the guardian angels of the
saloon are appetite and avarice.
The home teaches frugality and sacri-
fice the saloon is the apostle of waste
and coarse seltishness
In the home grow up the beautiful
graces which enrich the nature of man
and adorn his character; in the saloon
feed and fatten the devils of sensualitv
and vice, which continually tempt and
destroy.
The home rears children and trains
them to he citizens of the State; the
saloon makes it business to destroy
them.
The home is the nursery of virtue, the
forecast of Heaven, the Threshold to
the better life; the saloon is the breed
ing place OF vice, the epitome of hell,
the stepping-stone to eternal degrade
ton and ruin.
And yet Christian country places
the saloon beside the home, and throws
around each the equal Argus of its pro-
lection. -PoC q. b. Foster, IN Morn
ing and Day Of Reform.

A Curious DiSeaSa.


One of the most curious and battling
of nervous diseases is dphaSin, which
consists in the loss of power in the sub
ject of it to recall certain words, and
which in serious cases destroys all power
I of expression.
An eminent French Judge who suffered
from it would say to his wife, "Giye me
my-dear me! my-you know" and he
would point to his head.
Your hat?"
80, yes, my hat"
Sometimes, again, he would ring the
bell before going out, and say to his ser
want "Give me my um-um- umbrel. ="
Your umbrella?'
Eyes, my umbrella"
At this time he exhibited no other
symptom of diminished Intelligence, but
was in the habit of discussing the most
intricate points of law. Another invalid
would substitute the word he desired to
use with periphrase, as for instance,
when he wanted to mention his aunt"
he would say,s"my nearest relative by
the mothers side"
While in the simpler forms of the dis
ease, only few words are lost by the
Sufferer. in more complicated cases, his
vocabulary is limited to perhaps not more
than half-a-dozen words. In one instance
the total vocabulary of an aphasic pa
tient consisted of five words-"yes, !"
mo-" three" always" and "helo."
He answered all inquiries with
one of these. and though when
questioned concerning a number he
would invariably say three; he would
give the accurate number by exhibiting
his fingers.
The greatest sufferers are as unable to
express themselves by writing as by
speech. They take up the pen eagerly
in their hands and either scrawl few
unintelligible hieroglyphics, or write
some word wholly different from the one
they intend,
No positive cure for this strange aber-
ration is known, though the patients
sometimes recover, and the most curious
feature of it is, no general weakening of
the intellect accompanies it YO,Wh'S

A Novel Wolf Trap.

Siberian wolves are caught in various
ways, sometimes by poisoned bait, and
again by traps. One of the commonest
kinds of traps now in use is large cir
cular pen, surrounded bya high wooden
fence. Outside of this fence is another
similar one, perhaps two or three feet
distant from the first, and running en-
tirely around it. In the center of the
pen is placed a live deer or pie In the
outer fence is small opening, he door
of which, swing inward, is left conven-
iently and seduetively open. The wolf
scents the live bait in the center of the
pen, and after vainly endeavoring to leap
over the protecting barrier and get at it,
finds the door standing open, and at
once enters in. The passage between
the inner and outer fence is wide enough
to allow him to move ahead comfortably,
but is too narrow to admit of his turning
about.
Once in, he must keep going straight
ahead, and very naturally thinking that
in this direction lies his prey, he presses
on, licking his chops in anticipation of Il
rich feast. Having completed the circle
of his pen, he arrives at his starting point
and finds his further progress completely
barred by the door which still stands
open as when he entered. Pushing
against this, he shuts it close in order to
get by, and has eifectually made himself
prisoner. Then the crafty huntsman,
who has all the time been con-
cealed within, shoots or spears the
animal from the top of the
fence. draws his carcass within, so as to
save it, and opens the outer door again
so as to welcome the next visitor.
When wolves are plenty, two men or
more in one of these pens have very
busy time for number of days, and are
scarcely able to slaughter or skin the
animals as fast as they would like to rush
in unconsciously to their death. 1t not
unfrequently happens that the men are
kept in these pens for a number OF days
at time, being unable to get out on ac-
count of the wolves which surround
them, and would tear them to pieces the
moment they made their appear nee. The
only thing for the mento do under such
circumstances is to consider themselves
in state of siege and to keep on trap
ping and slaughtering until the animals,
starved out and disappointed, abandon
their position and skurry off to another
part of the country. Boston CONNER

Temperance Reading.
A Temperance General.

Sir Garnet Wolseley, who has so re-
Gently added to his laurels by his rapid
and decisive campaign in Egypt, is said
to be total abstanGr from intoxicating
drinks At least this is the story of
those who have dined with him. and
thus become aware of his habits. He
is said to leave his wine-glass I'M
touched on all occasions. Ii so, this is
peculiar and rare trait for one of his
profession, though not wholly without
precedent. One of our daily papers
(the Sun), which makes no speciality of
Temperance, has regarded General
Wolseley's example as well worthy of
being held up for imitation in this coun-
try. We quote:
"Of course, the Temperance people
will make much of that alleged fact
The greatest, or at least the most sue
cessful, English General of the day is a
teetotaler. His success they will at
tribute to his abStemiousness, which is
all the more remarkable in a soldier;
or at any rate, they will claim that the
triumph of the English arms in Egypt
has been greatly helped by the sobriety
of the General in command"
And they will have good reason for
the claim. Undoubtedly sober Cen
eral is far more trustworthy than one
who relies on stmulants to bolster him
up when the occasion is trying.
No man can be trusted to do work
which requires good Judgment, if he is
much addicted to drink. Alcohol very
soon affects the balance of the facul-
ties, and therefore the less people who
need to have their heads about them
take of it the better they are off. Drink
ing is the great vice of armies, and yet
nowhere else does man require that
all his faculties shall be normal, more
than when in the charge of troops in
the field, especially when he is high in
Office.
If Sir Garnet Wolseley is teetotal-
err, he is wise man. He is in better
physical condition to stand the differ
ent climates to which military service
may call him, and intellectually he
keeps himself far better poised than if
he followed the drinking customs of
the run of army officers His mind is
clearer, and he can trust his Judgment.
How many thousands OF lives would have
been saved in our war, for instance, if
the Generals had all been as sober as
WOlselev is said to be.
We observe that among Englishmen
of education and ability, and who carry
the load of extensive affairs, the tend
ency is toward increasing abstemious-
ness, and that even total abstainers are
growing pretty numerous. 1t is tend
ency which we commend to the thought
full attention of our men in public life,
our professional and business men,

Why 1t Was Discontinued.

The post-office at Iron Rod, NJ. T., has
been discontinued, and the explanation
is thus given by an officer of the depart
ment: "A post-otfice agent, while Of
cially visiting various offices in Montana
for the purpose of correcting any irreg-
ularities of postmasters, stopped at Iron
Rod. Going into the postoffice he found
the room divided into three sections

last faro bank. The mailbag was
brought in, rough-looking customer
opened it and emptied the contents on
the floor. The entire crowd at once got
down on their hands and commenced
overhauling the letters, among which
several were registered, and selected
such as they wanted. After they were
through the remaining letters were
shoveled into a candle-box and placed
on the bar. The special agent, thinking
the office needed little regulating, asked
the barkeeper, who had received and
distributed the mail, if he was the post
master. He answered No Are you

says: Knowing the customs of the
