All From lntemperance.

The evil of intemperance is exciting
attention in military circles in both GreaI
Britain and France. According to the
British Medical Journal there was last
year an enormous loss to the effective
force of the army and navy from intern.
perance. In the army l, 400 cases OF
drunkenness were tried by court martial,
besides over 1000 convictions from
crimes springing from excessive drink
ing. During the year Is, 9O4 soldiers, or
lO2 in every thousand, were mulcted in
their pay for drunkenness. And in q cir
cular issued to naval commanders-in-
chief and maritime projects on the sub
Jet, the French minister of Marine
states, that offences of drunkenness are
increasing to disgusting extent, urges
that stringent measures should be taken
to check the growing evil, and suggests
patrols and the prosecution of such pro-
prietors of drinking shops who may sup
ply liquor to men already intoxicated.

A BrOtherly View of It

The greatest of Christian moralists
teaches that no man should give ex
elusive attention to his own interests,
but that every man ought to promote
the welfare of the many. The precept
lays itself directly across ones natural
seltishness and the strivings of COM
petition. To obey it, one must be pos
sessed by love which both expels and
impels. An anecdote illustrates that he
who is swayed by such an affection can
obey ST. Paul's precept.
An Ohio farmer recently died, leaving
eleven children and tract of land
valued at ten thousand dollars. Before
his death he decided to one of his sons
forty acres and leased to him all the
rest for thirty-two years.
After the funeral, the ten children,
discovering that they must wait long
time before they could share in their
fathers estate, consulted a lawyer. In.
stead of advising them to begin legal
contest, which might be both expensive
and tedious, he suggested that they
should confer with the lucky brother.
The advice was needed. The lawyer,
his clients and the brother met to talk
matters over. They had not conversed
long before the lawyer and his clients
were surprised. The brother produced
the lease and tore it in shreds.
81 will take the forty acres decided to
me years ago, . he said sand you may
divide I've rest of the land among your
selves"
When the excitement caused by the
unexpectedness us well as the generosity
OF the act had subsidized, the lawyer took
the brother aside and asked for an
explanation.
II am Christian" said this brother
in deed, as well as in blood, 'and /
could not endure the thought of leaving
my brothers and sisters with no share in
our fathers estate"
Love had expelled the selfshness
which would grasp all, and had i'm
PEELED the destruction of the lease.

Mistakes in kilograms.

Cases involving the liability of tele
graph companies for errors in messages
are of frequent occurrence in the courts
The Philadelphia Court of Common
Pleas has just given its opinion in one OF
the latest.
A dealer in furs made an agreement TO,
the sale of a lot of muskrat skins to a
firm. The latter agreed to pay a named
rice, which was to be raised in case
London rates at an approaching sale
should advance beyond ten per cent.
The firm was to telegraph the dealer af.
ter the sale. 1tsent this message: "Obey
instructions given Sunday. Rats ten
higher. Everything else lower" The
telegram received by the dealer read:
'Ober instructions given Sunday. Rates
ten higher. Every thing else lower" He
supposed ''ober" was a mistake for
''over," interpreted the message to mean
that muskrat skins were ten cents high
er than anticipated and bought accord
'ngly. He suffered loss of five hun
dred dollars, for which he sued the
Western Union.
The Court holds that the company is
not liable. Judge Thayer says: 1.-THE
message received by the plaintiff was an
insensible message. He had no right to
guess that the insensible word 'ober'
meant over, and then to interpret the
message as meaning that muskrat skins
had advanced ten per cent. beyond the
a ltlcipated price on which his contract
was based. It was his duty to telegraph
back for the correct message or ask his
the meaning of it. He
was himself guilty of negligence. 1t was
certainly as easy to guess that 'ober'
meant obey as to guess that it meant
over. He took the risk of his own false

CURE FOR HICCOUGH.
The Fat Man and the PhIahthfopic Little

"Hjceough p The sound came from
a verv fat man in a big fur-lined over

A Wife's Suspicious.
DISCOVERING THAT HER HUSBAND IS A
BIGAMIsT-MINIsTER LowELL's INTER-
FERENCE.

A sad story of domestic misery be-
tween an American couple has come to

American legation in London. The hus-
band is Mr.. Hicks, an Englishman and
quasi journalist, who was married at
Buffalo, in 1878, to Miss Caroline Sloane,
daughter of Judge Sloane, of that city.
It is known that Hicks had been married
before, and, in order to satisfy the scru-
pies of Miss Sloane, and her relatives, he
made an affidavit, just before his
second marriage, that he had not seen
his first wife for seven years, and that
he believed she was dead. Soon after
their marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Hicks came

A short time ago Mrs. Hicks dis

with the descriptions she had heard of

lately been very remiss in his attentions
to his family and was spending more and
more of his time away from home. The
second wife became satisfied that she
had been wilfully deceived for years and
she fed from home. taking her three
children with her. When Hicks returned
to his house he was maddened to find
that his victim had escaped, and seemed
to be especially angered by the loss of
his children. With the aid of firm of
private detectives he found her living in
a state of restitution behind rag shop
in Nottinghill. In fear and trembling
she promised to return home, but in
