The Drinks That Kill.

It is certain. declares DR.. Spitzka, in the
Forum, that for one inebriate who has be-
come such through the use 4 beer, ale or
porter, there are three who have cecome SO
tbrough the use of wine, and five hundred
who owe their disease to brandy, rum,
whisky and gin. Indeed it is an exception
to find any person committed to the work
house for hatitual drunkenness who is not
an indulger in one of the four last named
articles. I cannot recall single case of
alcoholic insanity due to the abuse OF malt
liquor alone and very few which were due
to wine as compared with those attributable
to spirituous liquors.

RELIGIOUS READING,


He Leads Us On.
He leads us on
By paths we do not know;
Upward be leads us though our steps be slow,
Though oft we faint and falter by the way,
Though storms and darkness oft obscure the
day
Yet, when the clouds are gone,
We know he leads US on.
He leads us on
Through all the unquiet years;
Past all our dreamland hopes and doubts
and fears
He guides our steps. Through all the tan
gled maze
OF sin, or sorrow. and o'erclouded days
We know his will is done,
And still he leads US on.
And he at last,
After the weary strife,
After the restless fever we call life
After the dreariness, and sching pain
The wayward struggles, which have proved
in vain
After our tolls are past
Will give US rest at last.

ReYersir. the Order Of Things.

The transfer of the ''stcerage" to the
stern of the ocean steamship may not
prove So desirable to the ''cabin" passen-
gers if they are to be subjected to such
risksas they encountered in the collision
of Sable Island. Drawing room coaches
on the railroads are given the preference
of o place near the locomotive to escape
the dust and cinders, which do not settle
until the rear cars come along. But there
are still nervous people who prefer to
ride in the end OF the train for the sake
Of supposed greater safety. The same
class OF people would prefer to have the
steamship "cnbin" in the old place. -

Calf With A Human Head.

Samuel Stepelton, farmer living in
Auglaize Township, Ohio, has quite .
curiosity and a great freak of human
nature. One of his cows gave birth to
fully developed calf which bore per-
feet human head covered with a thin
layer of hair, similar to that which covers
the head of newborn babe. Tho
mouth of the animal was Ike that of q
dog, and within it was double row OF
sharply pointed teeth. 1t lived but q
few hours. - -Cincinna:i En3uarsr. -.

Scarcity of Wild Animals.

A thing which has affected the circus
business a good deal is the growing
scarcity of certain kinds of wild animals,
and the closing of some of the depots for
their collection and expectation, asserts
the New Orleans Pieayuns. Nubia and
upper Egypt, for instance, for long
time was the great headquarters for the
supply of giratfes, elephants, hippopotami
and the double.horned rhnoceri, with
many other wild animals, but since the
troubles there, subsequent to the death
of General Gordon at Khartoum, ab-
solutely nothing mas been received from
this region, which is now barred, for an
indefinite period, by the impending
Italo-Abyssinian war. And then again
the depots in South Africa are beginning
to close because the hunters have to 60
such immense distances before they reach
the lairs of the wild animals, hundreds
of miles from their former haunts. The
cause of this is the determination OF all
kinds by the so.called sportsmen, who
pour into that region like they did into
the United States when the butaloes
roved the plains.
The modern sportsman appears 10 as
sumo that his "personal liberty" and his
fondness for destroying birds and ami:
mails, called sport. should give him full!
authority to destroy all the birds and
animals on the face of the globe, to the
extent of his power to do SO. His only
excuse for destroying game, even down
to singing and worm and bug destroying
birds, the farmers best friends, is that
he loves to do It, When he shoots the
last deer and elk, and buffalo, and
pigeon, and partridge, and all of his game
becomes extinct, what will he do with
himself then! And what good will they
have done to mankind when they wind
up business and lay aside their wetapons'
Mankind will then be deprived of q
source of pleasure and delight forever,
more that the sportsmen of one or two
generations may have the pleasure OF de;
stroying the most innocentand beautiful
creatures that God has created for the
benefit of man, not to be annihilated as
an amusement for the hunters.

TEMPERANCE.
How &?

SHOW shall I habit breakm
As you did that habit make.
As you gathered, you must lose;
AS you yielded, now refuse.
Thread by thread the strand we twist
Till they bind us neck and wrist;
Thread by thread the patient hand,
Must untwiue ere free we stand,
As we builded, stone by stone,
We must toll. unhelped, alone,
Till the wall is overthrown.

promise encour ageth.
No grace is more necessary to the Christian
worker than fidelity, the humble grace that
marches On in sunshine and storm, where no

cheer the weary feet.
All! the many foolish ones who, with
lamps untrimmed, are in no plight to meet

"My Fathers Bu,Iness."

1t was Monday morning and Mrs. N
was very busy doing her morning work be-
fore commencing to wash, when she felt i'm
pressed to go and see woman living not
very far away.
"How can I leave my work. she said to
herself.
But the words OF Jesus came to her memo
ry, .'Wist We not that must be about my
Fathers business?" 81 will Co." she said.
my Fathers business is Of greater impor.
tancs than mine"
This woman she had felt impressed to visit
was not a very reputable one, most OF her
neighbors having long since ceased to call
upon her. Reaching the house, Mrs. N
knocked, and being admitted she found the
woman in great agitation.
81 think I'll tell you," she began, "since
you have taken the trouble to visit me- A
little tr" ct was left on my doorstep few
days ago. I read it and became deeply
concerned for my SOUL Yet l wanted to
learn more, so went to church yesterday.
1t did me no good though, for every one
seemed to shun me- After service hoped
some one would speak to me, but they did
not. Then I thought I'd wait and speak to
the minister; but Mrs. R said, 'Seel
you are blocking up the aisle. Can't you
move onY so / passed out with the only
words which had been said to ME ringing in
my ear; r
used to hear them tell or the worth or SOUL.
So 1 blocked the way' We'll, perhaps I
did in more ways than one. I came home
and passed an awful night, and l had just
determined to take something to get me out
of other peoples way when you raped"
and the poor woman held out TO the astonish-
ed Mrs Ma bottle Of laudanum.
Mrs. N-talked and prayed with the
woman, and ere she left had the satisfaction
of hoping that another soul was born Of the
Spirit.
'"Go home with me-" said Mrs. N.
"For time you need some one to show you
how to find sincere milk Of the Word; babes
in Christ need it."

"No." replied his wife, II was about my

'If had only done the same, poor c.

my way to my business when c. met me
and asked mo to give him work or tell him
where to find it. was in hurry and told
him would see about it tomorrow; but 1t
but gave him work today; for when l came
in to dinner the poor fellow was reeling

"Go call him In, husband" said Mrs.
NJ. at may be not too late, even now,
to reclaim him"
So c. was sought and found. He
afterwards gave evidence that what these
