WOrkingmen and Liquor.

If the workingmen of this nation
were free from the appetite for rum,
three-fourths of the saloons would have
to close up for want of patronage. Every
man who takes the pains to investigate
can find out the fact that the saloon
keepers live principally off the hard
earned wages of laboring men. When
payday arrives in any large manufactur-
ing town the groggeries do their most
rushing business. The money that the
mechanic or laborer should spend on his
family is squandered on drink, and goes
to fit up costly bar, to dress the saloon
keepers wife in silks and satins, to fur
nish his table with rich fare--while the
workingman's wife dresses in calico,
his children in shreds and patches, and
their fare is of the poorest. Heaven
alone knows the misery suffered in that
home which has a drunken son. What
is the reason that the honest, sober ee-
ment in the various trades unions do
not direct their energies to the exter-
minatiOn of this ruinous traffic, which
draws the bulk of its sustenance from
the very men they were organized to
benefit? Why is not the united power
of these unions directed to the loosen
ing of the rum powers hold upon theil
members, to saving the young men il
their ranks from falling into the clutche:
of the demon? Why do they not unite
against the monster evil of our land
which is the greatest enemy of the
working classes?-Toledo Blade.

In Papa's Boots.

1t was winter and the snow was very
deep where little Katie lived. Katie
did not like the winter, for she wanted
to run and play out of doors. One day
she asked her mamma to let her go out
and play in the snow. Why, Katie!
you would Freeze" said her mamma.
" Papa goes out in the snow, and he
doesn't Freeze" said Katie. But
papa is larger than my little girl. Be-
sides, he dresses warmer. You know
what large rubber boots he wears when
he goes out in the snow" Katie said
no more; but the next day she found
the big boots in the hall, where her
papa had left them. A large coat and
fur cap were hanging there, too. Pretty
soon Katie's mamma heard some one
crying. She thought it sounded like
the voice of her little girl. She began
to search for her, but she was not to be
found anywhere in the house. Then
she went to the door. There stood
Katie, few steps from the house, in
the deep snow. She had on the big
boots and the coat and cap. They were
so large and heavy that she had got
stuck fast in the snow, and could neither
90 on nor come back. 81 don't want
to play in the snow any MORE" she
sobbed, as her mamma took her into
the house. She is now willing to wait
until the sun shall melt the snow away

A Remarkable Confession.

Says the Southwest, liquor paper of
Cincinnati "The spirit of illiberality
toward persons engaged in the liquor
business of the United States, which
for some years has been manifested by
the old line of life insurance companies,
has practically left this class of persons
destitute of means of securing reli-
able insurance upon their lives for the
protection of their families if suddenly
overtaken by death. None of the old
companies have lately accepted risks on
the lives of saloon-keepers, bar-tenders,
wholesale liquor-dealers or brewers, as
a class, and some have even attempted
to throw off and kick out of their list
of assured those connected with these
trades whom they accepted years ago
even where they have kept their pol
icies paid up ever since" And so the
Southeast goes on to tell us that a life
insurance company has been incor-
porated in Ohio intended especially
to look for its patrons among this class
of persons "-liquor-dealers. Now we
have the astounding fact, often stated
but little needed by our opponents, as
good as confessed that whiskey anc
beer-drinkers as really and prematurely
shorten their lives five, ten and twenty
years by the agency of the glass as
though done with razor or pistol.

wishes and he was quick in his answer:
Well, John, if Latin grammar does not
suit you, you may try ditching; perhaps
that will. My meadow, yonder, needs
a ditch and you may put by Latin and
try that This seemed a delightful
change and to the meadow / went.
But l soon found ditching harder than
Latin, and the first forenoon was the
longest l had ever experienced. That
day l ate the bread of labor, and right
glad was when night came on. That
night | made some comparisons be-
tween Latin and ditching, but said not
word about it. l dug next fore
noon and wanted to return to Latin at
dinner; but it was humiliating, and l
could not do it. AT night toll con-
quered pride; and, though it was one
of the severest trials / ever had in my
life, told my father that if he chose l
would go back to Latin grammar. He
was glad of il, and if l have since gained
any distinction it has been owing to
two days. labor in that abominable
ditch. "-Erchdnge.

How Whiskey Pays.

Some years ago, says an exchange,
we had in our employa man who several
times day ran out of the office to buy
a drink of whiskey. Every time he
went out the cashier was instructed to
drop ten cents in the drawer to our
credit. AT the end of seventeen months
the man who had gone out so often had
drank himself out of a situation, and
the drawer, when opened, was found to
contain four hundred and nine dollars,
which we loaned to young mechanic
at seven per cent interest. He used it
to purchase a set of timers tools. On
the 9th of November, 1876, he returned
it to us, with interest, saying in his
letter that he has now a wife, two chill
dren, and property worth five thousand
dollars. The other fellow is hummer,
hunting for food.-ETchange.

Alcohol in Moderate Doses.

1t has been said that moderate
doses of alcoholics stimulate into greater
activity, and make life happier and
brighter. My experience since l be-
came total abstainer has been the OPP
posite. l have found myself able to
work better. have greater command
over any powers 1 possess. The fact
is that alcohol, even in the small guam
titles l took, Injuries the fineness of that
physical balance which means state
of health in which all the world is
pleasant. This is my experience after
four months of water-drinking, and it
is all the more striking to me because
for the last four or five years had been
very moderate drinker. But the body
with alcohol in it is like house with
an irritable man in it.-Reu. StoPtord

An Ohio Idea.

A liquor law introduced into the Ohio
assembly provides that nobody shall
sell, give or furnish intoXicants to be
used as beverage to any person who is
not legal habitual drinker, and does
not have with him certificate showing
that he is such drinker. Any resident
of Ohio more than twenty-one years of
age may become legal habitual drinker
by making affidavit before the probate
judge of his county, registering his
name, age, residence and occupation,
and paying fifty cents for registry and
the certificate, which the judge will
thereupon issue. Selling to non
registered drinker is a misdemeanor
punishable with fine and Imprisonment.

Dwarfs in Central America.

Stories about diminutive people are
found in many countries, not as of real
beings, but shadows that come and 90,
and are called by various names, such
as fairy, fay, elf, pixie, etc. Nowhere
are such little people more talked about
than in some parts of Central America,
notably in British Honduras and Yucca
tan, where people little more than
four feet Ugh are very numerous,
even at the present time. Whenever
ancient temples found in their country,
they say the pygmies built them,''
and although no importance is generally
attached to that answer, it is strange
fact that on the east coast of Yucatan,
as well as on adjacent islands, there are
whole cities, in ruinous condition, of
houses that could not possibly served
for people more than three feet high.
have measured many of those houses,
which are strongly constructed of hewn
stone, and found the doorways not more
than three feet high and eighteen
inches wide, while my head nearly
touched the ceilings of the largest rooms.
No person can dissuade the ma
tives from the idea that the ghosts of
those diminutive people roam about at
night. They say, " But we do see them;
they are not bigger than child of four
years old, and they wear big hats.
They throw stones at us, shake our
hammocks and hammer on the bench
where we grind corn" 1t is affirmed
that very diminutive people still dwell
among the hills in Honduras and Guate-
mala, but no one seems able to put his
fingers upon them, which would lead to
the belief that if there are any still liv-
ing, as so many assert, they must be
very few, and successful in hiding
