The Liquor Trafic-An Enemy to
Government, to Industry, to Home.

The liquor traffic earns nothing; it
creates no value; it adds not a dollar to
the national wealth, nor in any way to
the welfare and prosperity of the coun-
try. The money obtained by the trade
il not earned as honest industries earn
money-by giving a valuable return for
it. 1t obtains money from those who
earn it by their labor, giving them in
return for it what is not only of no
value, but far worse than that, some
thing whick'Ieads to poverty, pauperism,
wretchedness and crime; which disin-
clines men to honest industry, and final
ly units them for it. This traffic, like
war, wastes the products of industry and
kills the worker, or so mutilates and
mains him that he is unfit for work,
and then he and his family and depend
ants are pensioned upon the honest in
dustries os the country. 1t is like con-
fiagratjon, it destroys, leaving only the
blackened ruins of all which it attacks.
1t is like pestilence-ravaging any COM
munity where it is tolerated cutting
down the brightest, bravest and best.
1t destroys more than sixty thousands of
our people every year, cutting short their
lives upon an average of more than ten
years each. 1t makes wretched beyond
all power of expression, more than five
hundred thousand homes, which, but
for it, would be peaceful, prosperous and
happy. 1t threatens the existence of
our institutions, which cannot live ex-
cept among an educated and virtuous
people, because more than all other in
tiuences for evil, it reduces men to
ignorance, brutality and sayagery

A half naked Indian was looking on at

ley, of Massachusetts.
why don't you work and get yourself
some clothes ?" asked the governor
"Why don't you work." retorted the son
OF the forest.
II work head work." said Dudley, point
ing to his head.
The Indian said he was willing to work,
and agreed to kill calf for the governor
Having done so he came for his pay.
But" said the governor, "you have not
dressed the calf"
mo, said the Indian; u was to have a
shilling for killing him. Am he no dead,
governor?"
Finding himself outwitted, the governor
gave him another shilling for dressing it =
il was not long before the Indian came back
demanding Il good shilling in place of the
bad one which he claimed the governor had
paid him. The governor paid him another.
Returning another time with still another
brass piece to be changed, the governor con-
WINGED of his knavery, offered him half crown
if he would deliver II letter for him. The
letter was directed to the keeper of the pri-
son, and ordered him to give the bearer a
certain number oflashes.
The Indian suspecting that all was not
right, and meeting servent ofthe governor,
induced him to take the letter to its address.
The result of the Indians stratagem was that
severe whipping was administered to the
unfortunate servant. The governor was
greatly chargrined at being second time
outwitted by the Indian. On filling in with
him some time after, he accosted him with
some severity, asking him how he had dared
to cheat and deceive him so many times.
Head work, governor, head work." was
the reply.
Pleased at the fellows wit and audaciiy,
the governor freely forgave him.

that he could not realize on. What to do he
did not know, but, consulting his wife, rs he

was that he should go to London and sell

John Jacob carried bis furs to London and
made good thing of it While there and
wandering over the great city he came across
what was known as the East India House or
Company, and recognized u name as chief
of it as one familiar. He sought him and
found u schoolmate in his native place in Ger

but tried to do everything he could to make
Aston feel that he wanted to serve him. and
| among the rest when he Was leaving gave
him permit for ship to trade in the China
seas. John Jacob laughed at the gift, but
took it, and had almost forgotten its posses
sion, when one day something he heard made
him go to a merchant named Livermore and
proposetha he find capital to fit out ship and
use the permit, and they should share the
result Livermore at first rejecting the pro-
posal, afterward accepted it, and the voyage
was successfully undertaken, and from it
Astor realized $4,000 Then he took the
permit and fitted out vessel himself and laid
the foundation of his enormous Fortune
John Jacob never denied that he owed his
success in large measure to the fact that he
always consulted with his wife, whom re-

Give Water to Infants.

A physician of the New York Nursery and
Child's Hospital believes, from his practice,
that infants generally, whether brought up ut
the breast or arliicially, are not supplied
with sufficient water, the fluid portion of
their food being quickly taken up, and leav-
ing the solid too thick to be easily digested.
In warm, dry weather, healthy babies will
take water every hour with advantage, and
their frequent fretfulness and rise oftempera.
ture is often directly due to their not having
it, A free supply of water, and restricting
the frequency of nursing, has been found at
the nursery to be most etiectual check in
cases OF incipient fever, diminished rate of

Der of gastric and intestinal complaints be-
ing attributed to this cause. In teeth cutting
water soothes the gums, and frequently stops
