Teach the Children.

There is probably, no hsllucination so
obstinate as that which attributes to al
coholic drink certain virtue which it
never possessed. After all the influences
of the pulpit and the press, after all the
warning examples of drunkenness and con-
seguent destruction, after all the testimony
of experience and science there fingers in
the average mind an impression that there
is something good in alcohol, even for the
healthy man. Boys and young men do
not shun the wine cup, rs a poisoner OF
blood and thought, and the most danger

whose practises are sscetic, and whose
warnings are to be laughed at and disre-
garded. Now, in alcohol in its various
forms, we have foe to the human race
SO subtle and so powerful that it destroys
human beings by the million, vitiates all
the processes of those who indulge in it,
degrades morals, induces pauperism and
crime in the superlative degree, when
compared with other causes, and corrupts
the homes of millions.
1t is a cruel thing to send boy out
into the world untaught that alcohol in
any form is fire, and will certainly burn
him, if he puts it into his stomach. 1t is

THE YARN ABOUT NoAH's ARK.
How the Story Of the Discovery OF

Some years ago met in Egypt Dir.
Garvy, then, and probably still, an engin-
ecr Of high position in the service Of the
Government and who distinguished him
self during the late war by his heoric
efforts to aid the English residents to en-
bark in the vessels sent for them. He
had previously many years before been
in the services of the Russian Govern
ment and had been sent to the neighbor-
hood of Mount Ararat for some object
which now forget. But | recollect, as
likely many others do who had the pleas
ure of knowing Mr.. Gar,y, hearing him
mention that, prompted by curiosity, he
had ascended the summit of the Mount
and remained some days on visit at the
monastery which was then there; that
the monks stated to him that the roof Of
the apartment assigned to him, and
think some others, was composed Of the
ribs of the ark. Mr.. Garvy said that he
examined the structure very closely anc
that it bore all the appearance Of thu
roof being supported by the ribs of YES
sci and the wood appeared very old. lii
also said that few years after his yiri
the monas.ry was destroyed by an earth
quake aud that he had never heard wha
became of the alleged ribs of the ark.
