BREVITIES.

ONCE that man was an innocent boy,
and some one first persuaded him to
drink, but he is no longer free. He is
now slave to an appetite that no power
on earth can break except the grace Of
God, and how is that to reach man who
is saturated with whisky?
COULD we but trace the history of the
wine sent out from one single vineyard,
following the course of each tiny glass
flowing out as small rivulet in its err
rand of destruction, we should stand
aghast at the vast multitude being car
ried downward by these little streams
into the whirlpool of drunkenness soon
to be swept out by the tide into the vast
ocean of Eternity.
In this country the rum traffic I'M
doubtedly is chiefly responsible for the
presence of children in the industrial
field. The child is driven to work be-
cause rum has disabled the father who
should maintain it, or else because the
rum traffic has increased taxes and tho
cost of living so that the wages of the
parent are not sufficient for mainten-
ance.-TeXtile Record
Dir. BENJAMIN WARD RICHARDSON, in
recent address, invites public atten-
ton to the fact that all are born total abb
stalners. Of the hundreds of thousands
who have died drunkards, and of the many
who are now disabled and rapidly APP
preaching death as drunkards, all have
begun their downward career by mod
crate drinking. Stop moderate drink
ing and drunkenness will surely be
abolished.

MODERN INTOxICANTS.
Increased Danger from the Stuff Sold in
the Saloons of To-Day.

the Saloons of To-Day.
DIR. Albert Day, the efficient superin-
tendent of the Washingtonian Home, of
Boston, one of the best-managed homes
for inebriates in the country, as the re-
suit of extended experience and OBJ
servation says:
The action of intoxicants on the
human economy is different from what
it was thirty years ago. We find patho-
fogical conditions running along the
border lines of insanity and mental dis
eases of various forms which were not
observed generation ago. This is, no
doubt, due in part to the use of newly
discovered drugs which act much in the
same way as alcohol, but are much more
ruinous to the nerve-centers Among
the deleterious drugs which p omote the
alcoholic diathesis may be mentioned
tincture of Jamaica ginger. choral,
opium in its various forms, and, indeed,
all the narcotics and alcoholic de-
coctions, more especially the pro-
prietary and quack decoctions which
meet the eye in every newspaper and
drug store in the land. The alcoholic
IuOlo SOlu III (WTOHply
called salOons) are also more destructive
to nerve-tissue and the mucous surface
OF the stomach than formerly. Public
attention has been called to this
fast in Europe of late years.
and the same condition obtains in
this country as in the old. In no part
of the world are such noxious beverages
generally prepared as in this country.
1t is the result of imperfect rectitica-
ton, incomplete distillation, and pre-
sented in cruder form than in other
countries. 1t is fact that the methy-

Geo. May Powell, of Philadelphia, is act

irving in New York not far from June 9TH.
The main tour will cost less than $500 in
its cheapest form. Radiatory excursions to
Ephesus, Constantinople, Vienna, etc, e.
be added for a reasonable increase Of exr
pense.
Rollo Floyd, the prince of Syrian Drago-
men, will have charge of the Oriental Sec
ton; and Messrs. Gaze & Son, of London,
have been engaged to manage the European
Section. Rev. DIR. C. F. Thomas, an expe-
rienced director of foreign tours, will have
general charge en- route. A number of young
ladies' have already been booked, as Mrs.
Thomas will have charge of department

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.

Home Treatment.
=, Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites
In the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. H. Dixon & Son, cor. of John
