Disasters Of Ancient Times.

Compared with some of the great de-
structive floods in the worlds history, the
Johnstown disaster is comparatively light,
but when placed by modern conveniences
for conveying the intelligence of the
world to every mans door twice each
day, it has larger aspect than some OF
the disasters of ancient times. In l421,
when the sea broke over the city OF
bort, 100000 persons were drowned.
Holland was submerged in 1880 with q
loss of 400, 900 lives. In 1917 there were
$4,000 persons drowned at Catalonia.
These are the great floods of the worlds
history. Earthquakes have created a
hundred fold more disasters than water,
the list of casualties from this source be-
ing enormous. Here are few Of the
notable losses: 1856, at Naples, 40. 600:
1881, at Lisbon, 80, 900; 1926, at Naples,
10000; 1867, at Ragusa, 5000; 1867,
at schamaki, $4,000; 1893, in Sicily,
100, 900; 1903, at Jeddo, 200, 1000; 1716,
at Algiers, $4,000; 1871, at Pekin,

About M1staclleS.

One afternoon barber startled me by
saving that he knew thing that would
agitate society in general from basis to
battlements if it were known, writes
Hepburn Jones in the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Naturally it took some persuading to ex-
tract this charge of moral dynamite from
its cartridge, as it were. But 1t was our
at last.
Said the barber; eff you will observe
the mustaches of the men you know, you
will discover nine cases out of ten that
one side of the mustache always fourishes
better than the other. Most men are
aware to some extent of this peculiar
phenomenon, but I do not believe that
any one who is the victim of it can explain
it to you of hand. Yet the reason for
this difference in the opposite section of
the mustache is simple enough. This is
the secret: The side the man sleeps on
most often will always be found to cor
respond with the side of the raustache
which does not grow properly, is stras-
Cling and very often bleached. Naturally,
you see, the pressure of the face on the
pillow brings about the falling out of the
hair, and the tendency of the saliva to
flow from the lower corner Of the mouth
during a mans sleep doubtless assists IN
the process of disintegration.

nomena in this field of inquiry, and re-.
member that when I was in the Palmer
House barber shop in Chicago dis

How can I keep sunny SOUL
To shine along lifes way?
How can I tune my little heart
To sweeily sing all day?

Teach me to lean on thee, and feel
That thou art very near;
That no temptation is unseen,
No childish grief too small:
Since thou, with patience infinite,
Doth soothe and comfort all.

THE ROAD TO RUIN.

The road to ruin is paved with harmless
stimulants" Their normal, and almost in
evitable, tendency is the development of an
appetite for stronger poisons, and the progress
of that development often defles the resist
ance Of the most sincere good resolutions"
The medieval legends of men selling their
souls to the archfend are almost realized in
the moral bondage of dram-drinker, who
few years ago thought it so easy to control
his fondness for harmless tonic" That
fondnesS has vanished in way not contem-
plated in the original programme Of the
Stimulant dupe, who now finds beer and wine
growing as insipid as ditch-water, and who
might as we'll try to ''brace up" his torpid
system with oatmeal Cruel as with cup of
good strong coffee" The stimulus of such
tonics is thrown away on his callous palate;
he must keep his contract with hell by con-
tinuing his dram of fire-water, or face the
grim alternative of working out his saliva
tion, like Buddhist martyr, by years and
years Of dull misery and self-denial.
THE BRUTALITY OF THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
The tendency to dehumanize those engaged
in it is one of the most striking peculiarities
of the liquor traffic. No right is too sacred
for it to tra,nple under foot. This is to be ex-
pected from the class Of men who are tough
skinned enough to sell liquor in the face Of
the deep-seateA public conviction Of the in-
fanny Of the business, still it occasionally
shocks us to see to what depths Of infamy il
can sink.
In the case Of the Johnstown disaster. in
the presence of death in such frightful forms,
We might expect that even the most brutal
Of the men who are in this business would
hesitate to food the town with liquor, and
fire the passions, and almost certainly add
riot and inhuman pillage to the ghastly
spectacle of ruin. But that would be too
much to expect from men who habitualy
smother their sympathies and violate every
law Of God and man. The New York SUI,
thus describes the peril in which the town was
placed by sending i'll large quantities of LIQUOR
to be sold illegally:
'sThus far the military and civil authorities
have been able to maintain fairly good order
and to prevent any outbreak approaching
riot. To-day, however, whisky, which has
heretofore been pretty well kept out Of town
since the food, has found its way into town
in large quantities 1t is said that a lot of it
was brought up from Pittsburg yesterday
afternoon, and has been sold on the sly. One
cannot 20 about the town without frequently
seeing bottles of it passing from hand to
hand. If general drunkenness among the Ia
borers is added to the difficulties which the
peace authorities have to control, their labors
will be much increased. and the prevention
of at least incipient rioting will be almost i'm
possible"
The doctors are undoubtedly able to furnish
all the stimulants that may possibly be
needed by the sufferers, so that bringing in
these large quantities of liquor is not only
unnecessary but, under the circumstances
absolutely brEtal.--Voice.
