Drinking i'm Burmah.

A correspondent of the Indian Good
Templdr writes from Bhamo: Bur
nah is fearful place for cheap drink
and heavy crime; the native manufact-
ure what is called sham-sho; it is sup
posed to be made from rice and lime.
One may form an idea of It's power
when l assure you that it will dissolve
n Martini II enry bullet in thirty min
utes. 1t burns the inside ont of those
who drink it. We are glad to hear
from the same source that determined
efforts are being made 10y Burmah
Good Templars to suppress the sale of
this fiery poison, and they have no
doubt that Government will take action
shortly in the matter in their own in
terest, if not in that of the temperance
cause. Among other doubtful mercies,
Burmah will be favored with revised
abkarry ruling, which is sure to moder-
ate the strength of this dreadful poison.
Much more to the point are those eff
forts now being taken by members of
our order to have temperance pledges
widely circulated, and an alliance
formed against the ruinous traffic"

Malarial Attitudes.

While malaria has its ordinary hab-
itat in low-lying regions, it may under
favorable conditions exist at great ele-
vations. On the Tuscan Apprentices it
is found at a height of LOO feet above
the sea; on the Pyrenees and Mexican
Cordilleras, 5000 feet; on the Hima-
layas. 6,400 feet; on the island of Cey-
Ion, $500 feet; and on the Andes, IL, :
600 feet. At present, the elevation of
entire security has been thus approx
mated for various places: In Italy, 400
to 800 feet; in California, 1000 feet;
along the Appalachian chain of the
United States, 300 feet; in the West
Indies, 1,400 to 1850 feet. In any
of these regions, however, malaria
may drift up ravines to an indefinite
height.

to other delusions which claim super

Christianity, by subjecting it to test
which it can not endure. II directs
attention from the moral and spiritual
transformation which Christianity pro-
fesses to work, transformation which,
wherever made, manifests its divinity,
so that none who behold it need any
other proof that it is of God. 1t de-
stroys the ascendency of reason in the
soul, and thus, like similar delusions,
1T is self-perpetuating; and its natural,
and, In some minds, its irresistible ten
dency, is to mental arrangement.
Little hope exists of freeing those
already entangled, but it is highly i'm
portant to prevent others from falling
into so plausible and luxurious q snare,
and to show that Christianity is not to
be held responsible for alterations of
the imagination which belong exclu-
sively to no party, creed, race, cline, or

The Coming Conveyance.

Balloons as an adjunct of warfare are
attracting much attention in European
military circles, and their possible value
in times of peace is not entirely over
looked. An English writer remarks
that the recent successful attempts at
balloon-steerage in France have led
many thoughtful persons to believe the
day not to be far d slant when we shall
see balloons plying in well-paying pas
senger traffic between England and the
Continent. Another writer adds that
such a result would be no more won
derful in its way than the discovery
and development of the telephone,
which, though scarcely decade old, is
already so familiar to us that it no
longer seems strange.

Faith.Healing.

Rev. DR.. Buckley, editor of the
Methodist Christian AdUOcdte. has o
long and exhaustive article on Faith
healing" in the Century, which con-
cludes as follows: "Ihe faith-healers
represent God as interfering constant
", not by cause and effect in the order
of nature, but affecting the result di-
rectly. Their want of superiority to
those who were not Christians, but use
either false pretenses or natural laws,
and their inferiority to Christ and the
apostles, condemn their pretensions.
Nor does it avail them TO say, Christ
would not come down from the cross
when tainted by unbelievers.' They
might, perhaps with propriety, refuse
a test for the tests sake, though Elijah
forced one. But in close observation
of their works the radical difference
between them and those who they say
have no divine help should be man
ifest. Some OF them affirm that the
Mormons, Newton, and others do their
mighty works by the aid of devils. If
so. since casting out devils was mira
cle-working power of a very low grade,
il is wonderful that none of these per-
sons have been able to cast out the dew
lis from any of the great number who
are working in this way, and thus
demonstrate their superiority as the
apostles indicated their claims against
Simon the sorcerer and others.
"Faith-cure, technically so called, as
now held by many Professionals, is a
pitiable superstition, dangerous in its
final effects.
ut may be asked, what harm can re-
suit from allowing persons to believe in
faith-healing Very great, indeed.
It's tendency is to produce an effemi-
nate type of character, which shrinks
from any pain, and to concentrate at
teption upon self and its sensations
1t sets up false grounds for determin-
ing whether person is or is not in the
favor of God. II opens the door to
every superstition, such as attaching
importance to dreams, signs, opening
the Bible at random, expecting the
Lord to make it open so that they can
gather His will from the first passage
tbey see, impressions, assurances,
etc. Practically it gives great support

surcst Tranquilizer of the Nerves.

The surest tranquilizer OF the nerves is a med
icne which remedies their supersensitiveness
by invigorating them. Over-tenson Of the
nerves always weakens them. What they need
then, is tonic, not n sedative. The latter is
only useful when there is intense mental ex-
element and an immediate necessity exists for
producing quictude of the brain. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters restores tranquility of the
nerves by endowing them with the vigor requi-
site TO bear. without being Jared disturbed
unhealthfully, the ordinary impressions pro-
duced through the media Of sight, hearing and
reflection. Nay, il does more than this-it en-
ables them 10 sustain n degree OF tension from
mental application which they would be totally
unable TO endure without it's assistance. Such
at least is the irresistible conclusion To DO
drawn from the testimony OF business and pro-
fessional men, litterateurs clergymen, and
others who have tested the fortifying and re-
paratve influence Of tl1i celebrated tonic and
neryine.

A Cape Breton ParsOn.

He was tall, angular parson of the
old severe Presbyterian type. AS the
local idiom has it, "You would know
by his English that he had the Gaelic.
He was preaching in brother parsons
pulpit to a congregation who were
strangers to him. Descanting on the
lamb as type of gentleness, meekness,
etc, he said:
"The lamb is quaite and kind. The
lamb is not like the other beasts-the
lion, and the tiger, and the wolf. Ye
will not be runnin' away from the lamb.
No. The lamb is kaind; the lamb will
not eat ye, whatever.
"And there is food in the lamb, too.
Oh, yes, you will be KILN the lamb
and the sheep when the cold weather
will come in the winter. You will be
wantin' some good strong food in the
winter, and it is then you will be KILN
the lamb.
"And there is clothing in the lamb
he is good for the clothing. You will
tex the wool off him, and you will mex
clothes for yourselves. And how would
you and look without clothing?" etc.
At the close of the exercises he gave
out the following very peculiar notice,
to explain which / must state that raw
ages had been made among the Presby-
terrain flock by the influence of divine
of different persuasion: And there
will most likely be a family from Y.
that will be baptized here after meet

leaned forward, and added, in loud
stage-whisper-"ye'll no be saying a
word about it, dear brethren, as do
not think they want it known. "-Har-
