TEMPERANCE News and Notes.

Temperance News and Notes.
Moderate drinking is the down-hill road to
intamperance
All use of intoxicating liquors as a bever-
age is an abuse.
The issue of rum is to be discontinued in
the British army.
Beer aggravates many, if not all, skin dis
eases; particularly eczema.
So long as rum is free to whoever wants to
buy, it matters comparatively little that it
be free to whoever wants to sell.
The Hhacan says tho Cornell University
students have formed total abstinence
league, which already has more than 100
members
A bill has been introduced in the Kentucky
Legislature which among other things pro-
hibits and makes void marriage with
drunkard.
Of over fifty inebriate asylums which have
been established in this country, about thirty
are now in operation, the others having
changed into insane aSylums, water cures,
etcs
DR.. G. A. Shurnlief, former Superinten-
dent of the Stockton, Iowa, State Insane Asy-
lum, says that intemperance produces more
insanity on the Pacific coast than any other
influence y
At the late session of the Territorial Teach
ers' Association, Mrs. R. 81. Harvey, President
of Montana W. c. T. u, presented the sub
ject Of scientific temperance instruction In
public schools.
The New South Wales (Australia) Parlia-
ment has authorized q Drink Inquiry Com
mission, and the results of its investigation
have made a profound impression against
the liquor traffic.
The National Temperance Hospital in Chi.
cago is demonstrating the fact that distilled
and fermented liquors are not necessary for
the cure OF disease. Typhoid fever Is
treated there with uniform success without
wine; consumptives are built up without
whisky; collapse from shock overcome with
out alcohol.
There is hardly single Chinaman among
the Chinese denizens of New York city who
has ever fallen into the liquor habit, and
policeman who patrols the Chinese quarter
says he never yet saw drunk Chlnaman.
There are more Americans of both sexes who
have taken up the Chinese opium habit than
Cinnamon who have been seized with the
alcoholic mania Of the Americans.
An item is going the rounds Of tho press to
the effect that whisky is now manufactured
out of old rags We see nothing remarkable
about this, is the New York Obseruer's COM
ment. Every one knows that nearly all the
old rags now in the country are manufac-
tured out of whisky, and there is no apparent
reason why the process of conversion may not
work as well one way as another: from
whisky to rags and from rags to whisky.
What beautiful business it is!

The W. @. T. U. Advocating q New
Law

Judge Henderson, Mrs Woods, Mrs. AL
drich, and other prominent prohibition work
ers in Iowa have appeared before the Com
mittee for Suppression of Intemperance to
set before them another bill relating to the
sale of Intoxicating liquors. The bill is said
to meet more favor than the Custer bill. The
main features are as follows:
1t places the sale of liquor in the hands of
druggists, who to get permits must secure
the names of one third of the voters in their,
wards or townships and an equal numl
women over 81 years; they must give bopd
for S., ,OC0, liable to penalties and costs. Afy
clerk selling liquors must be registered
pharmacist. Certificates of sale must be
made the same as now, except that they shall
be numbered and have the seal of the County
Auditor. A buyer making false affidavit is
to be deemed guilty of perjury. and giving
false name guilty Of forgery. A druggist
must show that he has never been convicted
of crime or addicted to the use Of intoxicat-
ing liquors. The present permits will expire
next June.
This bill does not Danish beer, as the Custer
bill. The Custer bill originated with the
State Temperance Alliance, and this with the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
Chicago Tribune.

DR.. ArnOld's Daily Prayer.

This is short but very beautiful prayer
that DR.. Arnold wrote for his own use before
he went into the school Of Rugby every day:
10 Lord, have busy world around me;
eye, ear and thought will be needed for all
my work to be done in that busy world.
Now, ere enter upon it, would commit
eye, ear and thought to Thee! Do Thou
bless them, and keep their work Thine; that
as, through Thy natural laws my heart beats
and my blood flows without any thought of
mine for them, so my spiritual life may hold
on its course at these times when my mind
cannot consciously turn to Thee to commit
each particular thought to Thy service.
Hear my prayer, for my dear Ree1eemer's
sake Amen.

japanese Bric.a-Brac.

The craze for japanese bric.a.brace in
this country received its first impetus
when Commodore Perry returned to
Washington from the land of the A1ikado
in 1854, bringing with him the first
japanese curiosities ever seen here.
Among them were two large lacquered
bowls, with covers, one of which was
bought by Edward Everett. Lacqured
ware was greatly admired and it was de-
clared that the japanese had made wood
malleable.

More than $50, 100000 was spent in the

by workingmen. When one figures up how
many neat little $500 cottages that sum

Colonel Harry Gay, son of the peerless
Kentucky orator, fell in front of that gallant
charge at Buena Vista. His father almost at
the same moment, speaking in New Orleans,
said: If our children fall in battle, our
grief is tempered by the consolation that they
fell on their country's Threshold" What
would he have said if his prophetic ken could
have looked to scene in a Kentucky bar
room few years ago. Last year stood by
the spot in Louisville where young Harry

1t was sad omission in Governor
Larrabee failing to recommend to the
legislature the passage Of law pro-
hibiting the business men Of the
state who advertise from exchanging
groceries and other goods for such
work. Such considerate treatment
from business men is quite likely to
induce favorable endorsement by the
press Of such advertisers. When Mr..
Larrabee carried all his pockets full
of passes he was hard at work for
the railroads, leading in the repeal Of
the Granger law. The difference be-
tween the newspaper and Mr.. LARA
bee seems to be the difference between
business methods and the tricks of q
willy, corrupt politician.
That's all.
