Strong Drink.

The above heading interprets the
greatest curse Of modern times. Not
only il the Use of intoxicants hurtful to
the user but il mars the peace and
happiness of those with whom he as
sOciates. Ii sOws the seeds of immOr-
atty, vice and woe. it draws others into
temptation and finally into the deadly
habit itself. In the formation Of char
acter the old saying that every little
helps is still true, whether for good or
bad. The young man who starts out
ia life full of hope and with buOyant
spirits thinks little of the tendency
when he takes his first cigar. Though
the majority never go farther, there are
others for whom this Is the starting
point to drunkard's grave. They are
tempted to take something stronger
until the beer glass is reached when the
road is broad for the remainder of the
Journey. Strong drink is doing more
in filling jails, penitentiaries, poor
houses aud insane asylums than any
other one cause. 1t moulds the bullet
and sharpens the dagger for the MUIR
derer. IL arms the fiend with desper-
alton, takes bread from helpless women
and children and makes a physical,
moral and mental wreck of its victim
Strange il is that great country like
this will suffer within its bounds an
evil which if left alone will undermine
our civil institutions and destroy good
society, but it seems that such is the
case. Intemperance Is not only doing
its work to day and will he doing Ii to
morrow, but its baneful.. influence and
effect has stained the name and charac-
ter of by gone men and nations. Cyrus,
the Great, made Babylon an easy prey
when its people abandoned themselves
to drunkenness and Alexander pail
for strong drink with his life. Ii is a
poor argument for whisky that 1t l.
needed for medical purposes. True
enough il is sometimes useful, but the
good that 1t does Is in no way compar-
able to the mischief { think should
be warranted In saying for one lif.
saved by intOxicants, one hundred are
destroyed by the same cause. Perhap
three-fourths Of those whose lives are
crazed either directly or indirectly by
strong drink are thrown into eternity
without hope and unprepared to meet
the great judge in the coming day
Lost Lost forever God speed the
day when every brewery and distillery
in the land may be changed into some
industrial establishment whose effect
shall not be the degradation of man.
kind. God speed the day when the
saloons may be closed and the reign OF
strong drink at an end. SCHOOLBOY.

Just As any weak organ Of the body
may be improved by exercise and cul-
ture, so may the memory. One meth
oil of cultivating the memory is to
see to it that the impressions
received are properly and truly
registered and repeated until they
become familiar and, so to speak,
a part of the brain structure. Anoth-
er is to be careful and not register i'm
pressions which are valueless, aud thus
lumber up the mind with unuseful
trash, hut to judiciously forget what Is
not essential. Forgetfulness is essential
to remembering. We do not store up
the unsound fruit, but cast it away Is
soon AS we can and so We should east
away the useless ideas that come and
go in our active life.
