The Conquest of Pain.

It is said that even the most acute
physical pain can be overcome by de-
termined effort of the will, and in a re-
cent number of medical journal DR..
Carpenter quotes several corroborative
instances.
DR.. Edward H. Clarke suffered from
fatal malady which produced the
most agonizing pain; and yet he could
determinately withdraw his conscious
ness, so to speak, from that pain by
fixing it upon another object, shat OBJ
iect being the working out of his own
neutral train of thought in the compo-
sition of book.
This is well known to have been the
case also with regard to Sir Walter
Scott, who, during very severe and
painful illness, dictated the bride of
Lammermoor. The most remarkable
fact about the composition of this work,
was that, after his recovery, he entire
ly forgot all that he had done, the book
on its publication coming to him as an
entirely new work with which he had
had nothing whatever to do. He only
remembered the general outline of the
story upon which he had composed his
novel; this he had heard in early life,
and it remained with him; but of the
working up of this story into the novel,
while he lay on his sofa contending
with paroXysms of agony, he had no
recollection.
Thus, in the case of Walter Scott, as
in that of DR.. E. H. Clarke, we see the
effect of determined tixation of the at
tention upon train of ideas in master
ing physical pain.
Another most remarkable example of
the same thing is in the case of Robert
Hall, a celebrated preacher. He used
to 90 into the pull pit suffering the most
agonizing pain, which was found after
his death to have resulted from large
calculus in his kidney, with projecting
points, the terrible suffering produced
by which every medical man will at
once appreciate and was obliged
habitually to take some of the largest
doses of opium that were ever admins
tered. But from the moment he began
his extempore sermon (the Introductory
service having been performed by his
colleague), he seemed utterly uncon-
scious of his condition.
During the latter portion of his life,
which was passed in Bristol" says DR..
Carpenter, 81 was often his nearer;
and like every one else, was most
deeply interested in his discourses,
while at times quite carried away by
the torrent of his eloquence. Twas as
sured by eye-witnesses that when he
went down into the vestry he would
sometimes roll on the floor in agony,
though during his pulpit address he
had ceased altogether to feel pain.

work wonders. = Youths Companion.

The Dominion License Law.

Canada is blessed with q new Tenn
perance law, a great Improvement on
any licensing laws we have in the
ion License Law. 1t does not in any
way abrogate or set aside the Scott act
by which a county, if it so elects, may
secure absolute prohibition, but it APP
plies simply and only to localities de-
string license. To such it says, you
may have one license to every five hun
dred inhabitants; you may not sell to
minors, drunkards, nor between the
hours of seven p. m. on Saturdays till
six a. m. on Mondays. 1t also forbids
the issuing of licenses to grocers or any
other than actual liquor shops; and all
existing licenses of this character are
arranged to lapse within limited Pc
Rod. This law is uniform throughout
the Provinces. Heretofore Nova Scotia,
New Brunswick, Manitoba and the rest
have had their own particular license
laws. Now all over the Dominion one
third of the taxpayers are necessary to
petition for a dram-shop license, and
when issued its conditions are every
where the same. 1t is regarded by
thoughtful Temperance people as great
gain in legislation, as it will reduce the
number of licenses nearly one-half in
some of the provinces and will shorten
the hours of sale, closing the saloons at
eleven p. m. on week days and entirely
on Sundays. The hotels are also pro-
hibited from opening their bars on Sun
days, and no guest can be furnished
liquors in his room. The law simply
allows the supplying of liquors at two
principal meals of the day, and then
only in the dining-room. Our neighbors
over the border are vastly in advance
of us. Their great northwestern terri
tory, where mounted force of 1900
soldiers is kept for the protection of the
Indians on reservations against the
frontier whisky-dealer, is a standing
army of reproach to us who on our own
borders wink indifferently and even
quizzically at the violations of executive
orders in behalf of the Nations wards.

Various Oaths.

1t was a customary thing in what are
called the dark ages for a swearer to
lay his hand on a crucifix as a sacred
symbol, or touch the altar while he
swore by the God to whom it was ded-
icated. Soon he came to swear by the
crucitiX itself or ''by the rood" OF
kindred origin is the oath "by the
mass" ''by the wounds hence
'swounds' and POUNDS" The sacred
water was to the vulgar mind part of
Gods corporeal nature, hence "God S
bodikin," favorite oath of the Eliza
bethian age.
The custom of placing the right hand
upon some sacred object was considered
of the utmost Importance, and there
was quite difference in the degree of
the solemnity of the oath according as
the object sworn by was more or less
sacred. When Harold of England
swore to William the Conqueror that
he would not push his claim to the
crown, he supposed that he was only
swearing on a missal or prayer-book
which was lying on chest, and hence
could do so with a mental reservation,
but the oath was really the most bind
ing possible, as was afterward dis
closed, when William removed the
cloth with which the chest'was covered
and disclosed the authentic relics of q
saint. 1t was claimed at one time in
the Irish troubles, in James III. S time,
that the oath upon the eucharist of an
Irish Catholic could not be relied upon
in the court, unless the priest who CON
secrated it was in sympathy with the
English Government. For it was said
that the transubstantiation depended
entirely upon the will of the priest, and
if he did not wish the bread of the
wafer to be changed into the body and
blood it would be nothing but bit of
baked dough, which everyone could
swear falsely upon without committing
perjury.
An Abyssinian chief, who had sworn
an oath he disliked, was seen to scrape
it off his tongue with his knife and spit
it out. And in Germany, to this day,
there are places where the witness,
when he wants to tell lie or swear
falsely, crooks his finger, as if to in
dictate to his conscience that his oath
was crooked. CleUeland Herald.

Honorable.

A well-known American author-we
wish we could mention his name-died
lately, leaving large estate to his
children. They assembled to hear his
will read, all of them being married
and heads of families. An adopted
daughter, who had offended their father,
it was found, was passed over in the
will with a trifling legacy. One of the
daughters interrupted the reading Of
the will.
'.Father, l am sure, is sorry for that
by this time. A should have a
child's portion. We must make that
right.
The other children assented, eagerly.
Awidowed daughter with large fam
lily received an equal share with the
other children. One of the sons spoke
now. &C ought to have more than
we men who are in bust
ness and are able to earn our
living. will add so much" stating
the sum-''to her portion" The two
remaining brothers each agreed to give
the same amount.
When the will had been read, one of
the elder children said "There are
some of fathers old friends to whom he
would have given legacies if he had
not been i'll and forgetful when this
paper was written. Shall we not make
that right?"
TWAS done, cordially and promptly.
Now this was only the just action OF
Just and honorable people; but how
rare such conduct is in persons to whom
legacies are given. Chicago Interior.

About Water.

A curious fact about water is that it
is the rust of the metal known as n.y.
drogenium. When oxygen combines
with iron it forms reddish rust, and
the metal becomes in time disintegra-
ted. In this condition it is said to be
oxidized. Now, water is simply oxi-
died hydrogenium. This metal is
present in the sun and in all the plan
cts in enormous quantities. Indeed, it
is said that the human body is COM
posed of So pals of water, mingled
with some lime, iron and certain salts.
Chemistry has revealed to us many
marvels, but none greater than the
composition of common water.-Dem-
oreSts Monthly.

RELATION OF LIQUOR TO CRIME.

The following facts, CLEANED from
the various reports at hand, tell their
own story without need of addition or
comment:
In 1881 there were 69,631 criminals
arrested, of whom 81, 057 were males;
and 1854 were females. OF the males,
1856 were arrested for intoxication,
and an additional 3, 439 for being drunk
and disorderly. OF the females, G,S51
were arrested for intoxication, and an
additional 1928 for being drunk and
disorderly, making the total number of
inebriates arrested 2S,669, which is
more than two-fifths the whole number
of arrests.
Besides the number arrested, there
were 1901 S3 INDECENT persons lodged in
the station-houscs; more than 80 per
cent. of whom were compelled to seek
lodgings there by reason, directly or in
directly, of the liquor-traffic. The
males thus seeking lodgings numbered
57,9O5; the females. 62,778. This is a
number equal to one-twelfth the entire
population of the city.
The cost of maintaining the police
force for the purpose of attempting to
"cure what should be prevented -"
was S280,053.
The cost of the various courts made
necessary by reason of the traffic in
liquor, in New York City alone, reached
the sum of $4,000, 900.
The expenditure OF the Department
of Public Charities and Correction for
1879 amounted to 81, 1852, 618, over nine
ty per cent. of which expense was made
necessary by reason of the trathc in
liquors.
