Happy Clam Diggers.

The Maine clam digger isn't exactly Q
fisherman, . farmer or a sportsman, but
his somewhat plebeian and commonplace
occupation partakes of the characters.

he digs it, is fish. he is surer of finding
it when he starts out low tide than is
the fisherman. of finding = q school of
mackercl, the farmer of raising his crop
or the sportsman of bagging his game.
A clam digger may only limit his pros
pective wealth by his capacity to dig,
and that only means three times as much
money in a week as some newspaper men
can earn. There is more wealth deposited
in the Scarboro clam fats, for instance,
than in many of the National banks Of
the Commonwealth, and they. seem to
have unlimited power of replacing all
losses at the hands of the digger, This
6shy agriculturist has no call to plow his
ground and plant. His crop obligingly
does it for him, and also accommodate
ingly leaves an air hole where he went
in, so the clammer may know where to
dig. An overseerof the poor in q Maine
town was once waited upon by an. able
bodied man, who asked aid on the ground
that he was unable to find employment
and his family was starving. "You, can

G. ". Fond Of Literature and Art.

Washington, says "Gath," in the Cln-'
cinnati Enquirer, stands above all our
Presidents as the appreciator of men in
the arts and literature. From all over
the world sculp:ors and painters came to
take his form and face. He submitted,
with the greatest trouble and annoyance,
to their experiments. One fellow nearly
killed the old man by pouring plaster
into his nostrils, meantime holding his
mouth closed, supposing that the great
chieftain could breathe like q whale,
through the top of his head. When
John Trumbull, Gilbert Stuart and others
had done something, Washington wrote
them Letters of merit. He sent his friend
Jack Humphreys, the poet of Connecti-
cut, to Spain as Minister. After old
Joel Barlow, who wrote the "Colum-
biad," had insulted him for years,
Washington politely answered his letter
when he had something to communicate.
He told John Adams not to be squeamish
about public opinion, but to send bis
son John Quincy Adams upon mission.
Washington was something of an archi-
tect. At the recent exhibition of the
New York Society of Architects there
was an elevation OF Mount Vernon as it
now stands. When Washington pro-
posed to change it after the Revolution.
ary War, he drew the extensions and
submitted them to his builder.

Antiquities From Guatemala.

The South Kensington Museum at
London has recently received u valuable
collection of casts and originals from the
ancient ruins of Guatemala. P. M.
Maudsley, who has been for several years
engaged in exploring the country re-
ferred to. was the donor. The portion
of the collection that attracts the most
attention are five upright monoliths,
eight feet and ten feet high. The carv'
ing back and front is that of a humap
figure, while the sides are covered with
"picture writing" The slabs, which are
placed on a screen, have human figures
in relief shown in profile. There is
noticeable N all the huge headdress, the
very rcccding forehead, the garments OF
fabric and the far from savage type ol
arms. The serpent-like form with the
human head seems to point to the wor-
ship of the deifed serpent. No attempt
has been made to decipher the hierogly.
phics, though it is thought it cor be
done. Francisco Chronicle.

NNoW He Knows"

This was remarked of certain man whose
sudden death had been, announced. His life
nad been prolonged to the age of threescore
and ten years and beyond, during large
part of which time he had been an inf1del.
Although his house joined hard by the sanct-
uary for many years, he had seldom, if ever
entered its doors on Sabbath day. His
neighbors in goodly numbers stately assem-
bled for the worship Of the living God, but
he persistently refused to join them. He was
an unbeliever, and cared for none of these
things. But now he knows whether there is
q God to whom he is accountable for all
the deeds done in the body. He knows
whether there is Heaven and a He'll, ard
whether the Lord Jesus Christ is the only
Saviour He knows whether the Bible is
the inspired Word Of God, and whether all
its teachings are true. But alasl he knows
too late to correct his mistakes. No man
need be an infidel who desires to know the
truth. Unbelief has its seat in the heart,
and not in the head. No man who has it
in his heart to do the will of God will be
loft in doubt as regards the great truths of
the Bihle.--Golden Rule.

Ominously Significant Facts.

Commenting upon the magnitude of the
Criminal Problem of this country, the
New York Tribune invites public attention
to some ominously significant facts and esti-
mates lately given in sermon by Rev. F. H.
Wines, Secretary of the National Prison As
sociation. 1t appears that the census Of 1886
showed nearly 60. 900 prisoners in the various
prisons of the United States. To these are tc
be added 1000 inmates Of reformatories,
virtually prisoners, making an aggregate
prison population ten years ago Of about
SO, 600 persons. MIR. Wines estimates that
the next census will show 1900 to so, COO
prisoners, and $1,000 inmates of reforma-
tories, or total of 10000 to 10000 men,
women, and children, under legal restraint
and in prison confinement. 1t is estimated
that the cost of maintaining these prisons il
fully SIS, 00O, 900. and that the cost OF the po-
lice departments is an added SIS, 100000 an
nually; to which must still be added the
cost of all the judicial machinery, and of the
litigation requisite for the prosecution and
conviction Of this enormous criminal class
1t is safe to assume that seven.eighths of the
crime of the country owes its origin directly
or indirectly to intoxicants. Waving the
moral aspect OF the problem, does the legal
lied liquor traffic, at high or low rate Of
license, pay'-National Temperance Adro'

sc1en11nc 1emperance.

The effects of the alcoholic habit vary
enormously with the amount consumed anu
with the form in which it is taken, but they
are always bad. Alcohol should not be re-
garded either as q poison or 1000. luis
strictly drug. 1t Gelongs TO that class o.
substances which, like opium, Indian hemp
and tobacco, produce effects which habit
renders agreeable, but which are followed BY
constant increase in the craving for larger
doses of the drug.
This increasing dependence upon alcohol
is one of the worst effects of its hablt1al usei
and with most persons it Is lnseparable from
its use even in small amounts. 1t 1s true
that nearly all can digest WITHOUT apparehis
damage small quantity OF alconol, III
sufficiently dilute form, if taken only oc-
caslonally. 1t is certain that the highest
possible health may be enjoyed without the
tlse of alcohol. This being so, its use, even
occasionally and under the restrictions
above stated, is attended with risk both
physical and moral. But when alcohol Is
taken in larger amounts or in stronger forms
or is used habitually, even in moderation, IL
does positiye harm, and this harm increases
rapidly as the habit strengthens. IN It's
liehtest degree there Is some irritation OF the
stomach and impairment OF digestion, with
slight disorders Of circulation and secretion
and intellection. Often enough these cause
false feeling of weakness which leads 20 larger
excess, and, of course, TO great harm.
Perfect hea tn can scarcely ever DO
enioyed continuously by one who uses alco-
hol even in strict moderation: make an
exception in favor OF some elderly persons
with slow and feeble digestions and with
weak circulation; for in them small quantl-
ties of dilute alcohol taken daily with their
principal meal improve their health. When
once we pass the lesser degrees Of the use OF
alcohol the effects of its habitual employ
ment are striking and disastrous. The
mucous membrane of the stomach becomes
the seat of chronic catarrh. The function
of the liver becomes disordered and the most
important processes Of nutrition are dis,
turbed. The nervous system suffers, and
mind and character aliks deteriorate. IL s
not only the injury which comes directly
from alcohol which we note in such cases;
khere are associated with 1t neglect OF the
proper hours of rest, and avoidance OF e1'
posure, which contribute to the sum OF dam.
age wrought upon the system. The alcohol
habit, if at oil excessive, causes organic dis
eases directly, and ruins body and mind tts
habitual use, even in very moderate amounIs,
renders health unstable and increases the
liability to disease, and the danger OF disease
when It occurs. The true use OF alcohol Is
in the treatment of disease. There, when
prescribed judiciously, it does great good ana
is at times indispensable. But even there IL
should never Ee prescribed unnecessarily.
