disease of the Eost highly civilized, the

An Indians Rebuke.

A train from Pittsburgh was APP
preaching Chicago. On board was Il
quiet, well-drcssed, copper-colored
young Indian, who seemed to have AL
he could do to attend to his own busl-
moss. which he did without molesta-
ton, until uy0ung chap came from the
sleeper into the snolSing-car and saw
him.
IAN indian, | guess said the young
man, as he lighted cigarette And
then, approaching the son of the
plains, he attracted general attention
by shouting, with strange gestures:
Ugh, heap big Iniun! Omaha!
Sioux! Pawnee! See Great Father!
Have drink irc-water? WARM In
jun's blood"
The Indian gazed at the young man
moment with an ill concealed ex-
preston OF contempt on his face, and
then he said with good pronunciation:
"YUu must have been reading dime
novels, sir. l am going back to my
people in Montana after spending three
years in the East at school. l advise
you to do the same thing. Where !
live gentlemen do not carry whisky
TASKS in their pockets"
The young fire-water drinker did not
wait to finish his smoke. There was
too much mirth and music in the air
just then. - The Pipe Of Peace.

A Temperance Sermon

An interesting story was brought to
light at the Salem Mass Hospital a
few weeks ago, when a man was car
ried there to have an ugly wound on
his face sewed up. Returning from a
meeting one night he found his mother
drinking whisky. He told her that
he, too, would take to the intoxicat-
ing cup if he ever again found her
under the influence of liquor. When
he went to his dinner the next day his
mother was drunk. A few words
passed between them and then the
young man took his membership pa
pers in the total abstinence society
of which he was member from his
pockets and threw them into the fire,
and made a bee-lino for the nearest
saloon. He drank as much whisky as
he could hold and was soon bowling
drunk. In that condition he pre-
scented himself to his intoxicated moth
er. She was so enraged that she seized
a large earthcn wash-bowl and struck
him squarely in the face, splitting the
face open to the bone. 1t is n terri
bic wound, and will disfgure the boy
for life.

A Jailer's Testimony.

Mr.. A. Lang, jailer at Barrie, Ont,
Canada, writes to the GI06s as f9ls
lows:
drunkenness is the sin of our
world. Thirty years ago on the first
of last December l took possession of
this Jail. My experience is that
Observation-Disclosures of our Jail popu-
lation during that period found their
way here through using the poison
vended by what is now miscalled the
Licensed Victualers' Association. To
talk about building houses for the
drunkards' widows and orphan chill
dren sounds like an empty echo, while
the law licenses men to make the
poison, licenses men to sell the
poison, licenses men and women to
drink that poison till they become in
sane and commit crime, and then
licenses judges and magistrates to send
them to prison or the gallows. Yes,
first make men drunkardS and ruin
them, and then tax the country to
build houses for the widows and or
phans all manufactured by law, and
finish up by employing keepers to
oversee them. Why, sir, if it were
possible next week to sweep off from
the face of our continent the whole of
those streams of liquid death and
moral destruction, would guarantee
that in twelve months the Toronto
Jail would hold every prisoner in
Ontario, thus doing away with thirty
eight jails and eight loek-ups, with a
saving to'the country of over one hum
dred and fifty thousand dollars year
in cash. Then add to that the amount
of prisoners time saved-it would rise
to ten times that amount in our
province. And in three years more
there would not be a pauper child in our
country. Every man and womaG would
be clothed and in their right mind, and
their children would grow up to fill
respectable positions, instead Of find
ing their way into iails, rcformatories
and penitentiaries. Then we would
have peace within our borders and
prosperity within our homes"

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

HAS the liquor traffic ever built a

In Paris, and in many of the pro-
vincial towns of Franco, out of fifty
shops there are thirty devoted to the
sale of drink, so that one-half of the
population has for its business the
giving of drink to the other half.
In Switzerland seventy per cent. OF
the young men are said to be untitled
by the use of alcohol and tobacco for
the military service required by the
Government, and upon examination
have been rejected on account of this
impairment of their physical condi-
tion.
A TEMPERANCE society has been
formed in st. Petersburg, a city which
consumes daily 100000 glasses oil
vodka, 10000 bottles of wine, l. 500, OOC
pints of beer, without mentioning vari-
Gus other forms of alcohol. The new
society was formed by shoe-makers,
has already 1900 members, and is in.
creasing at the rate of $50 new mem.
bers a week. This movement, if sue.
cessful, will mark an era in Russian
history.

Always Dangerous.

The London Pail Mall Gazette men,
tions the recent journey from London
to Liverpool of a gentleman and his
niece, and another gentleman, his wife
and two children, when three for
bidding-looking men entered their
compartment at Willesden for Rugby.
All three had been drinking, and one
was obviously drunk, with a bottle
from which he continued to drink I'M
til he became quite crazed. He
stripped himself to the waist and
struck one of his companions in the
face, drawing blood" The children
were pressed into corner, the writer
of the account and the other gentle
man standing guard; whereat the
maniac "called for the key of his bag.
so that he might get his knife out and
make clean sweep Of the whole car
rage" just then the train steamed
into Rugby station, and they were
rescued from what threatened speedily
to eliminate in a fearful tragedy.

BOOKS AND READING.
Under No Consideration Surrender Your
Own Honest Judgment.


Desultory habits of study are not to be-
pursue any systematic course of reading
because l am looking upon reading, for the
moment, not as an exercise but as a recrea-
ton, and fear lest, if it were reduced to
rigid and regular system it should be
come wearisome task. l would have you
omnivorous Of books; devour all the good
books that you come across; your lite will
certainly not last long enough to leave you
time for the temporary ones.
However warmly you may admire par.
tcular author, do not permit yourself to
lose the consciousness of fallibility. Do
not accept as gospel what any man, how
ever great, says or writes. Never make a
blind surrender of your own Judgment,
either to the author whose writings yOn
affect or to the society which for the time
sets him up as an idol. There is fash
ion IN these things which is very Ike af-
fectatiOn. Yesterday the rage was for
Carlyle; to-day 1t is for Matthew Arnold
or Herbert Spencer; tomorrow it may be
for some as yet undiscovered literary
planet. Do not let yourself be swept away
by the stream. Form your own judgment
on the best mater ais you have and do not
hesitate modesUy to express your own
preference or dislike, even if it be out Of
harmony with the popular sentiment Of

Books are guide in youth, and an en-.
tertainment for age. They support us under
solitude and keep us from becoming a bur-
den to ourselves. They help us to forget
