A Periious Social Custovu.

Now, in our Judgment, in the present
state of American society and Ameri-
can drinking customs, the social use Of
wine or lager beer does carry with it
considerable peril; peril even to the
man who thinks himself most secure
against it, peril to others whom he can
not protect If you deliberately judge
otherwise, il you conclude that it u
safer for yOu TO set the community in
general and your boys in particular an
example Of moderation than Of total
abstinence, you must jadge-no one
can Judge for you; it you think this h
the safest example for you to set your
Bible class, you must judge-nO one
can jadge for you. The only thing We
can Judge is this, that the Divine law
of spiritual life and love, which no man
oan disregard without sin, forbids US
to hazard moral good for a sensuous
pleasure. In our Judgment, if we were
to use wine as a social luxury in the
United States of America, we should be
violating this law. Whether you would
violate It or no. you only can determine.
and from the decision of your own con-
science there is no appeal except to
Him who seeth the secrets of every
heart and judgeth all men with unerr-
ing justice of judgment-Chr

Liquor. sellers are one of the classes
prescribed by the constitution of the
Knights of Labor. In his last address
made to the general convention of the
Knights of Labor, Mr.. Powderly said:
"The Temperance question is an inn

is the main issue. The large number

ton of rumsellers was alarming. \
have persistently refused them, and
will enjOin my successor, II he values
the future success Of the order, to shut
the doors with triple bars against the
admission of the liquor-dealer. His
path and that of the honest, indus
trious workman lie in opposite direc-
tions. The rumseller who seeks ad-
mission into labor society does so
with the object that he may entice its
members into his saloon after the meet
ings close. No question of interest to
labor has ever been satisfactorily set
tied over o bar in rumhole. No labor
society ever admitted rumseller that
did not die a drunkard's death. No
workman ever drank glass of rum
who did not rob his family of the price
of it, and in doing SO committed .
double crime, murder and theft. He
murders the intellect with which the
Maker hath endowed him. He steals
from his family the means of suste-
nance he has earned Tor them. Turn to
the annals of every dead labor society,
and you will see whole pages blurred
and destroyed 1y the accursed foot
prints of rum. Scan the records of q
meeting at which a disturbance took
place, and you will hear echoing
through the hall the maudlin, fiendish
grunt of the drunken brute who dis
turbed the harmony of the meeting.
"In the whole English language I
can find no word that strikes more ter
ror to my soul than the one word
rum 1t was born in hell ere the fat
mo redemption had gone forth. Its
life on earth has been one of ruin to
the hopes of youth and the peace of
old age. 1t has robbed childhood Of
its delights. 1t has stolen the laugh
from the lips of innocence, the bloom
from the cheeks of manhood. 1t has
touched the heart of old age like the
tip of a poisoned arrow. Its sound, as
it gurgles from the neck of bottle,
echoes through many desolate house,
hold as the kissing of thousand SER
pents. You may deem me too radical
on this point. Yet I never interfere
with the rights of man to drink if he
so elects. hold l have right to, and
do, shun rum as l would an enraged
tiger, neither meddling with it nor al
lowing it to meddle with me. So long
as it keeps its distance am content to
leave it alone, but the moment it at
tempts to interfere with my rights by
coming into the Knights of Labor, then
my soul rises to arms against it, and I
can find no words too bitter. no de-
nunciation too scathing to hurl against

GREAT LIBRARIES.
The Congressional Library Compared Will
the Large Libraries of Europe.

The Congressional Library Compared With
the Large Libraries Of Europe.
The Congressional Library in all its
departments now contains about
$4,000 volumes. For comparison
with the other large libraries Of the
world, the following statistics are
compiled from the latest attainable
sources: The largest library in the
world is that of the French, at
Paris, which contains to-day upward Of
100000 printed books and 100000
manuscripts. Between the Imperial
Library at St. Petersburg and the Brit
ish Museum, it is difficult to say which
is the larger. Neither will vary much
from 100000 volumes. The Royal
Library of Munich has now something
over 900, 900, but this includes 100000
pamphlets; the Royal Library at Berlin
contains 10000; the library at Copen-
hagen. $40, 900; the library at Dresden,
500, 900; library at Vienna, 400, 900; Uni
versity Library at Gottingen, Ger
many, 100000. The Vatican Library,
at Rome, has about 10000 printed
books, and commenced in 1878. There
are about sixty other libraries in Eu-
rope larger than the Vatican Library.
The National Library of Paris is one
of the very oldest in Europe, having
been founded in 1850, although the
University Library at Prague is re-
ported founded the same year. The
British Museum dates its commence
ment about 400 years later-1753. OF
the large libraries in the United States,
the Boston, Public Library comes next
to the Congressional, with about $685.
900 (including the duplicates in its
seven branches); the Harvard Univer-
sity collection comes next, with about
21O, 900; the Astor and Mercantile, of
New York, have each about $50, 1000;
Yale College has about 115, 900; Dart
mouth about 81, 900; Cornell University,
with $4,000; the University of Virginia,
$4,000; Bowdoin, with 38, 900; the Uni
versity of South Carolina, with $4,000;
Michigan State, 10000; Amherst,
44,5OO; Princeton 5000; Pennsylva-
mia Mercantile, 1926. 900, and Columbia
University, South Carolina, $4,000. It
will thus be seen that our National
Library, as it should be called. exceeds
all but eight, or possibly nine, of the
ancient libraries of Europe, and all in
America. --S. Louis Globe Democrat.

SUN AND EARTH.
Comparison Showing tho Differences
the Life Of the Two Bodies.

Compassion Showing tho Differences in
the Life Of the Two Bodies.
The volume of the sun is about
1880, 900 times that of the earth. To
give some idea of this difference let US
make few comparisons of familiar
objects.
For instance, let the sun be repre-
sented by man weighing 100 pounds.
There are 1000 grains in a pound,
avoirdupois, and this multiplied into
100 gives us 1,330,00O. Now grain
may be represented by the kernel of
wheat, which was in fact the original
of the grain weight. So you have on
the one hand the sun represented by a
large man, and on the other the earth
by grain of wheat.
II the sun we're vain Of his complex
ion he might wear a little black patch
on his chin, a little larger perhaps than
the earth. Or the earth might be a
very small house-fy sitting on his bald
pate. The earth would not be hall
large enough to make the sun collar
button.
A man may gain in weight under
some circumstances three to five pounds
q week. Should the sun take notion
to increase his weight in like ratio, it
would take hundred such bodies as
our earth to supply him a breakfast.
The earth would be so small morsel
for the SUI he could scarcely taste it.
If he were taking medicine the earth,
sugar-coated, would be only very
small pill.
Take pumpkin and put . mustard
seed by it or an apple and prick 1t with
: needle point and you will have furth-
er illustrations of what those figures
mean. And yet we think we live on a
great, big world.-Dr. Nevkirk, in Chi
ca00 Interior,
