A Costly Habit.

The laborer who pays the saloonist twenty
cents per day, for four glasses OF beer, or
two glasses OF whiskey, spends seventy three
dollars annually for the beverage. with this
money, as prices now are. he could purchase
six barrels Of flour, two hundred pounds OF
.urar. twenty-five bushels OF potatoas, ten
ronnis of tea, and twenty-five pounds OF
coffee. So far as these several articles are
toncerned, the above amount would De all

Studies of Conscience.

The studies of conscience, furnished b.
Shakespeare in his Macbeth AID Richard I'LL,
and by Hugo in his "Les Miserables," are
significantly suEpleme ted from another
point of view. Inspector Barnes Of New
York is not genius, but detective, and in
speaking Of methods with q reporter the
other day, he said:
1.-THE great lieutenant Of every police Of
ficer is that mysterious thing callei con-
science. Yet let man try to deceive him
self and lie to hins.f about himself, and
that something comes knocking up against
the shell Of his tody, and humping on bis
ribs with every heartbeat and
pounding on his skull until bis
head aches and he wishes he were
dead and groans in agony for relief. 1t is
the same conscience that makes criminal
give himself away if one only. knows how
to awaken it or stir it into activity. never
let q man know for what he is arrested He
may have committed dozen or more crimes
of which I know nothing. II lock him up
alone and leave him to the black walls and
his guilty consci nee for three or four hours,
while he pictures the possible punishment
due him for all his crimes, he comes present
ly into my hands like the soft clay in the
hands of the potter. Then he is likely to tell
me much more than l had ever suspected"

Silent; Forces.

The late DR.. Alexander Clark thus beauti-
fully illustrates the efficacy of silent forces:
Workmen in stone quarries sometimes find
very hard kind of rock. They pick little
grooves for the iron wedges into the finty
Eock. And yet, once in while they fail to
divide the solid mass. The iron wedges and
sledees prove useless, and the workmen won
der at the stubborn rock.
There Is another way. The iron wedges
are removed from the narrow grooves. Then
little wooden wedges Of a very hard fibre are
selected. Now you begin to shake your heads
and think: "Well, if iron wedges will no. do,
how is it possible for wooden wedges to be
used .ucce, stully?' Just wait until we e1-
plain. The sharp, well-made wooden
wedges are first p It into water. They are
then inserted into the grooves tightly, while
wet, and water is k5pt in The grooves, and
no sledge is needed to DIR We them. They
would break under the severe blows Of the
hammer. But the worknen just let the
wedges alone. They will do what the iron
failed to do. How so? The damp wood
swells. The particles must have room
enough to enlarge. And the granite heart
of the rock cannot resist this silent in
luence. In little while the solid rock
paris from top to bottom, and the work.
mems will is accomplished.
1t is so, often, in other things; what
noise and visible effort fail to do, some
quiet power when applied will surely
achieve Teachers may remember this fact
in mechanics, and manage some stubbo Il
natures by the application of the STINT
forces. The iron and the sledge hammers
often fail, but tears, prayers, and a patient
example under God never Fail.
