Where Salt is Taxed.

In every country where there has
been tax on salt cruelty and oppres-
sion have followed in its train. In
France, under the government monop-
oily known as the gabelleS, the law was
most severe. In the fifteenth century
French history shows that hundreds of
men were executed for salt smuggling.
In the time of Louis XIV. almost ev-
cry year some three hundred smugglers
were sent to the galleys for life. In
China, where salt is one of the most
important sources of imperial revenue.
a breach of the salt laws involves fear
full penalties. The offenders are some
times flayed alive, their smuggling
junks are confscated and sawn asun-
der, while crucitied or impaled boat
man is dashed to the mast as warning
to others. The Chinese jails are full
OF men lingering on under trial. or in
vain hope of being brought to trial, for
offences against the State salt monopo-
lies. -Blackwood's Magazine.

ance Uion of Singapore are prosecut-
ing an.ctive work on behalf of the
Europen sailors who frequent that
port
AN odinance has been passed in
Sacramento, Cal, making it "the duty
of the pdice to revoke any liquor liz
cense onpetition of a majority of the
residentsin the block"
SEVEN years ago the abstaining
Congregaionalist ministers of En-
gland and Wales were in q minority.
Now of the 200 ministers in the
union 1000 are total abstainers.
THE Medical Review says: Tho
death-rate in the case of brewers,
commercial travellers and others ex-
posed to the temptation of frequent al
coholic drinking is six times greater
than in all other industries COM
bined"
ANOTHER testimony to the physical
advantages of abstinence: A London
coal whipper said: ~ have backed
as many as sixty tons of coal day
with perfect ease since / took the
pledge. Before l should scarcely have
pen able to crawl home, certain to
haTeaosr the next days work.
Mr. STURGEON said in recent ex-
position of ST. John, chapter 2: "If
anybody objects to the Saviour making
wine, l think the best reply is, that
the wine that is made of water will
never do anybody any hurt, and the
more of that the better. They say
there was devil in every grape, but
there were no grapes here, and | am
afraid there are not many in most
wine either, but something worse than
devil. But our Saviour made this
wine of water, and there was no harm
in it Nobody's head ached because
of that"
SLAVERY and alcohol are the twin
curses of the dark continent Surely
America will not belaggard in second
ing the efforts of any Christian power
whatever, whether in England or
Germany, which will address itself in
earnest to the task of their complete
suppression. Prof Drummond has
appealed for our aid in stemming the
encroachments of slave-hunting Arabs
in Central Africa. But while the Mo-
hammedan religion permits one form
OF slavery it does not permit another,
and of the two the worse. Turks
and Arabs are total abstainers from in
toxicants. Shall we, as Christian
nation, have longer any part or lot in
the infection upon Africa of kind of
slavery which ruins both body and
soul, and wreaks not merely temporary
but eternity-long disaster. ILLUSTRATED

A Dangerous Illusion.

One of the most dangerous illusions
o4the present era, industriousIy fos-
Cred by the brewers and their allies,
rs that beer is harmless. wholesome
beverage. Prof Draper, in the Medi-
cal News, referring to govt, says:
"As the most pronounced popularity
OF the victims of the equity diathesis
is the prompt reaction which they
present to wine and beer, it follows
that the exclusion of these beverages
as articles of diet must be insisted
upon" He adds: This is often a
difficult injunction to enforce. There
Is so strong popular and profess
slonal prejudice in favor of fermented
liquors as articles OF diet that one
can hardly prohibit the use of them
under any circumstances without
being regarded as crank. In spite,
however, of the generally-received
opinion that ardent spirits are re-
sponsible for all the physical evils of
lntemperance, have long been in
cllned to believe that the fermented
preparations of alcohol are equally
II not more productive of functional
arrangements and even of structural
LESSONS" We commend Prof Dra-
per's testimony concerning fermented
liquors, the result of extended pro-
fessional experience and observa.
