GROUND FOR RESTRAINING.

The 8rchdeacon of Westminster GIVES
His Reasons, Philosophical, Sanitary
and Religious, for Taking the Pledge.
Clergymen of the English Establish
ment have been so SLOW to accept the
American theory and practice of Tenn
perance, 4. e., total abstinence, that
the following opinion of the distin-
guishcd Archdcacon of Westminster
has all the more weight:
my reasons for taking the pledge
were partly general and partly special.
First, | became convinced that the use
of alcohol in any form was not ne
ccssity. | saw that whole nations
have lived and flourished without it.
believed that the whole race of man
had existed for centuries previous to
its discovery. | was struck by the in
disputable fact that in England twenty
thousand inhabitants of our prisons,
accustomed to it all their lives, and
the majority of them brought into
prison directly or indirectly by the use
of it, could be, and were, from tho
moment of their Imprisonment, abso-
lutely deprived of it, not only without
loss, but with entire gain to their per-
sonal health. Men enter prison sickly
and blighted, are deprived of drink,
and leave prison strong and hale; and
women who, when incarcerated, are
hideous to look upon, after being
made compulsorily sober by the act Of
Parliament, recover the bloom Of
health and almost of beauty
Next, | derived from the recorded
testimony of some of our most emil
nent physicians, that the use of alcohol
is a subtle and manifold source of dis
case, even TO thousands who use it in
quantities convcntionally deemed mod
crate; and from the testimony even Of
many who discountcn&nce total absti-
nence, that all the young, and all the
healthy, and all who cat well and sleep
well do not require it, and are better
without it, Then the carefully drawn
statistics of many insurance societies
convinced me that total abstinence, so
far from shortening life, distinctly and
indisputably conduct TO longevity.
Then | accumulated evidence that
drink is so far from being requisite 10
physical strength or intellectual force,
that many of the greatest athletes, from
the days of Samson onwards, whose
drink was only of the crystal brook, "
have achieved without alcohol mightier
fcats than those which have been
achieved with it; and many of tho
worlds wisest, even if they have not,
said PindaF, have yet drawn out bet
ter inspiration from other sources than
can be drawn chemically from tho
fumes of wine.
Seeing all which and much more,
seeing, too, in the Holy Scriptures
Gods own approval of His Nazarites,
who, as the prophet jeremiah tells us,
were purer than snow-''they were
whittier than milk, they were more
ruddy in bodies than rubies. their poll
ishing was of sapphire'-I saw, or
thought saw, grounds sufficient, and
superfuously sufficient, to make me an
abstainer. y ongregatiOnaLjst.

WORKING HORSES.
How They May Be Made Comfortable,
Without Impairing Their Usefulness.

How They May Be Made Comfortable
Without Impairins Their Usefulness.
In a recent lecture before the Penn
sylvania State Board of Agriculture,
DIR. Harvey, among other good things,
said the following in regard to the
above-named topic: The horse should
be made comfortable at his work. His
harness should tit without CALLING. His
bride should be long enough to bring
the lit down to the angles Of his lips
not SO short as to bring them up an
inch or two above their natural posi-
ton, as is SO frequently the case. The
blinds should not touch his eyes. nor
his eyelids, ei&her. His head should
not be refined uncomfortably high. On
long Journey, or in pulling a heavy
load, he should not be reined up at
all. He is surer footed when his head
is free, and. if he should stumble, he
RECEIVERS better if he can throw his head
down and thereby relieve his forelegs
of part of the weight of his body un-
til they get in place again. 1t is the
same principle as is applied when men
jump and throw a stone backward
from each hand at the same time. If
a horses neck is tired by tight refining
he is tired horse, and he has been tired
without having accomplished any
thing to show for it. We have all felt
what it is to be tired all over by the
torture of tight shoes, and the relief
that comes to the whole body with a
pair of slippers. He should always
have Il free head when travelling in the
night. He needs then the free use of
all his faculties. Do not understand
me as meaning that the check-rein
should never be used at all. 1t has
several uses. A horse can be more
easily managed, if he is disposed to be
little too lively, by checking his head
up. Horses naturally carry their heads
up when excited, and refining them up
into that position excites them. A dull
horse may, for a short fine. be made
much more lively by checking his head
up little while he is going. This eff
feet will not continue long, but for a
short drive about town, with light
weight behind him, there is not much
objection to it if the horse is fresh.
When horse is checked up while go
ing he should be unchecked while
standing, that he may rest The
chcck-rein should be easily shortened
and heightened, so that his neck may
be relieved without giving him entire
control of his head while standing, for
he might rub his bride off or get his
foot over the lines if he could put his
head low down. : Colman's Rurat

How to Speak the Truth.

1t is all-important that You speak the
truth when you do speak; but the fact
that it is the truth which you speak is
not the only important factor in your
speaking. You must speak the truth
in love. III love of the truth, and in
love of the person to whom you speak;
for unless you are loving. and speak
lovingly, you may have less power for
good than any one who speaks in that
spirit without speaking the truth. Tie
truth itself suffers in contrast with love-
mixed error. when the element Of love
is lacking in the declaration OF truth.

A GIFT FROM THE DEITY.

A GIFT FROM THE DEITY.
The Veneration in Which the Natives of
india Formerly Held the Precious
Fluid.
Very sad accounts were sent in from
India of the havoc which rum is MAX
ing among the native population. Dr.
Pringle. for many years connected with
the British army in India, said some
strong things on this point. He de-
scribed the Inhabitants of India, before
the avaricious liquor dealers of En-
gland sent in rum, as nation of teeto-
talers. They looked upon water as a
special gift from the Deity. The word
which they use to designate intoxicat-
ing LIQUOR signifies ''sllame water"
He gave legend which beautifully IT,
illustrates that passage in Isaiah:
Therefore with JOY shall We draw
waters from the wells of salvation. A
poor man lay dying of thirst by the
wayside, while in the field near by a
husbandman was drawing water quiet
ly and scattering it on his seeds and
plants. When the Deity learned what
the poor man had suffered, he ordained
that hereafter when any one draws
water he must sing, that all who
thirsted might know that there was
water He told also of a rich Hindoo
who left in his will sum sufficient to
dig and otherwise prepare five hundred
wells along highway one thousand
mics in length, that as the people
travelled that way none might suffer
from thirst When an English COM
pany wanted the right to build rail
way all that was asked was that the
company should furnish waterfree to all
travellers, putting at each station lad
with cup and pail, saying, as he
walked about among the passengers:
water, water; free for all. IN ".

What of Their Future.

The Catholic Church is earnestly
taking up the fight on the saloon and
its train of endless evils. Its clergy
and its press are showing that most of
all the saloon is injuring the working
people in eating up daily the wages of
many laborer, and letting his family
90 homeless and in want. Much at
tention is also being paid to warning
young men as to the dangers of the
saloon. The Davenport Messenger,
the Catholic paper of Iowa, has in its
last issue the following thoughtful and
impressive paragraph: What do young
men who daily visit drinking saloons
expect their future to be? Such young
men cheat none so much as themselves
If we arc to have drunkards in the
future. their ranks must be recruited
from the ranks of these young men who
drink moderately now, and for these
reasons all saloon associations must be
summed. "-Iowa State Register

refinery, the largest in the West, shut down
Saturday night and discharged about 125

be the inability to compete with Sandwich
Island raw sugar, which is admitted into
the country free of import duty. The re-

start up again shortly, as soon as the new
crop OF Louisiana raw sugar can be pur-

An Important Decision.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.--Attorney-Ge General
Garland has given an opinion to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury that National banks
must deposit interest-bearing bonds to Sc
cure their circulation, and that called three
per cent bonds can not be used
as basis of circulation. This will
make it necessary for the National banks
having on deposit three per cent bonds al
ready called to Immediately substitute in
their place four or four and one-half per
cents. or to withdraw their circulation.
The effects to be produced upon the gen.
eral money market by this decision will
depend upon the determination of the Ma
tional banks as to whether they will with
draw their circulation or relnvest the pro-
ceeds of the three per cents. in interest
bearing bonds.
