less he reforms totally and entirely, to-
die an agonizing death from slow dis
ease. The man who drinks himself
drunk every day or two will probably
suffer less when death comes, because
it will come quickly. and not eat out
his life by slow degrees. The London
Lancet, the medical journal of highest
authority in England, declares:
There is an appalling amount of tipping
ates the principal organs and destroys them
bauch.''
And the use of beer as a beverage
keeps up this saturation with alcohol
OF the great organs of the body. The
Scientific american declares that beer
is more dangerous than even whisky;
that the use of beer is found to pro-
duce species of degeneration of all
the organs; profound and fatty depos-
its, diminished circulation, condition
of congestion and perversion of func-
tional activities, local Inflammation of
both the liver and kidneys are con-
stantly present. A slight injury, o
mind, will commonly provoke acute
disease, ending fatally in a beer-drink-
er, is the verdict of that paper
1t is also true that the beer-drinker
lays heavier curse upon his unfortun-
ate offspring than does even the whis-
ky-drinker. One of the largest and
best life insurance companies of the
United States declares that the hered-
itary evils of beer-drinking exceed
those proceeding from the use of ardent
spirits, and directs inquiries to be made
into the history of applicants for insur-
ance, with view of taking no risks on
the lives of persons with this hereditary
faint.
Beer is not food; it is diluted
poison. 1t is more harmful than
whisky, because drunkenness does not
follow unless a large quantity is drank,
and hence men fall into the habit of
keeping their systems saturated with
its alcoholic poison. A correct knowl-
edge of the true nature of the vile COM
pound is sadly needed, that its power
to harm the ignorant may be destroyed.

Temperance of the Japanese.

These ancient people, often, if not
generally, regarded as uncivilized,
have very accurate ideas in reference to
action of intoXicants. They have
saying: ga man takes drink, then
the drink takes drink, and then the
drink takes the MANI How true in
every particular! While it is mani
testify true that those who have bad
habits of living, who are gross in all
respects, uncleanly, living largely on
animal food, are especially inclined to
form habits of misrepresentation
often being an exciting cause-it is true
that the habitual use of the weaker or
the stronger drinks gradually leads to
intemperance, so that we are justified
in calling any use of alcoholic prepare
tions intemperance. How few ever es-
cape! War and incompetence are the
two great slayers of the race! The in
tellectual, the generous, the Christian,
even, all who use such drinks, yielding
to their natural influences and de-
mands, lose all that is good and great
in them, continuing on and on, till
they reach a drunkard's grave.
Whisky is able to conquer the con-
querors of armies, bringing all to the
low level of degradation level be-
low that of the brutes- for they do not
naturally do much injustice to their
natures. No one ever really suffers
from abstaining from its use. Good
and sound health never demands this
poisonous and unnatural drink.
Morality and religion never seek its
aid. No one ever dares to ask Gods
blessing upon the habitual use Of
whisky or tobacco Golden Rule.

Or the care that waits in line. .

Bravely bearing, till 1t passes
From us, steadily and swift. e..

Till the temple reaches grandest height.
With its slender spires of FURNISHED gliding
Pointing upward to the light.
One by one, each day will bring its duty,
Whilst courage meets the single need,
Till all trials blossom into beauty,
Till the toiler weaves the good into the decd.
One by one, our heartbeats tell the story
OF the earth-fe measured here,
OF its mystic web of golden glory, :
Wrought from sorrows falling tear.

How Drunkards Are Made.


"Now, you watch those children.
They'll drink half that beer before
they get home, and their mother will
scold me for not giving a good pint,
and I've gwen nearly quart" said
the bartender of a downtown saloon
the oGher day, referring to two little
girls of six and eight, thinly clad, who
came in for pint of beer. The re-
porter did watch the young ones. They
had scarcely got outside of the saloon
pail lifted it to her lips and took
draught. Then her companion en-
joyed few swallows. A little further
on they entered tenement-house hall
way, and both again took sip. II
have lots of such customers" said the
bartender, when the reporter re-
turned to the saloon to light
his cigar. ''Girls and boys and wo-
men form half our trade. We call it
family trade. 1t pays our expenses.
Our profits come from the drinkers at
the bar. But | tell you what-half the
children who come here drink. That's
how drunkards are made. Their moth
ers and fathers send EN- for beer.
They see the old folks tipple, and be-
gin to taste the beer themselves. Few
OF the children who come in here for
beer or ale carry full pint home.
Sometimes two or three come in to-
gether, and if you watch 'em, you'll
hear one begging the one who carries
the pail for sip. We must sellit, how
ever, when their parents send for it.
We are bound to do so. Business is
business. We don't keep Temperance
shop. IN Y. Herald
