DRINK AND CRIME.

It is significant fact, says the ismpery
unce Advocate, of New York, that while
there has been general increase Of crime N
the country at large during the last decade
there has been diminution OF crime 10 ans
the States and localities wherein the hqnof
traffic is prohibited. In this aspect the nezlS
United States census report is likely 70 proye
a valuable temperance document.
Alcohol transforms women as well as men.
into reckless criminals. Recently, at an ear1y.
hour in the morning, the attention OF a Jersey
City policeman was attracted by screams OF
murder, and he found the street In anuproar
and about dozen men and women ma
drunken row. After he had separated Ine:
people and was about to leave ne hearq
pistol shot, and q bullet whizzed by ms
ear. Turning he saw arevolver In the hanas
of drunken woman, aimed at his head Sh3y
by dexterous movement he wrested 1t r9af,
her, and took her g prisoner to the sIauon
house, where she awaits trial. Aicohoi con-

Floating Gardens.

The floating vegetable gardens OF chlna
are prepared in April on bamboo ra1G
ten or twelve feet long by half as VIDE,
the poles being lashed together with In
terstices of an inch. Each raft IS covered
with an inch of straw, then with t"c
inches of adhesive mud, which receives
tie seed. The RATS are moored TO tne
bank in still water, and require no 1ur'
ther attention. The straw and soil soon
give way, the roots drawing support from
the water alone. In about twenty days
the RATS become covered with the creepei
spomoeo reptans, whose stems and roots
are gathered for cooking, and whose
blossoms present pretty appearance IN
autumn. In some places marshy land Is
proftably cultivated in this manner.
Floating rice fields are similarly con-
structed, the mud being helI ~ layer
of weeds. They furnish the ripened crop
in from sixty to seventy instead of the
usual one hundred days, and may be de-
pended on when the neighboring land
fails either from drought OF food.

THE DRINK TROUBLE ABROAD.

Not the least important Of the international
conferences recently held In Paris was Lnat
which met to study the drink question. The
European countries have become alarmed at
the dangerous progress OF alcoholism, and
are searching for means to stem it. e
In France and Belgium Government Com
missions have considered the question ana
suggested various remedies. Drunkenness
until a few years ago was all but unknown m
France. One might have walked the streets
of Paris at any hour Of the day or night with
out seeing any one the worse for liquor. But
now drunkenness is there in its worst form
The report Of the recent Congress contains
figures which prove that drink Is now one OF
the chief causes Of crime and OF lunacy.;
Fourteen per cent of the lunatics under Heat-
ment in France owe their insanity TO atcos
holism, and in 1885 it was the cause OF OBS
accidental deaths and 1888 suicides. ~
Some statistics Of the number OF liquor
saloons to inhabitants in different european
countries were given at the congress. IN
ENGLAND there is a licensed house for every
223 inhabitants; in Austria, one to 266 IN
habitants: in Denmark, one for every 194; IN
Italy, one for every ITS; in Holland, one for
every 149: in France, one for every 80 peo-
ple. and in Belgium one for every 4S. The
Belgians drink more than any other people
in Europe. They consume 20, ,OOO, goo htreS of
LIQUOR every year, which gives 60 htTee6
every male adult. Paris is pretty well pro-
vided with liquor shops, or cafes having ono
among every SS inhabitants. The quantity
of LIQUOR consumed per head OF the nhsbit.
ants, women and children included Is y

and France. i:f..ss-

A Faithful Old Elephant.

The Ceylon papers announce the deat1
of an elephant named Sella which hao
served the Public Works Department toI
over sixty-fve years, and had worked Id
various parts of the island under differ
ent circumstances for an unknown period:
Originally Sella belonged to the last OF
the Kings of Randy, Sri Wickrema ha]s
singha, and was one of about one hua:
dred elephants which passed to the Brit
ish Government in 1915, when the Kan:
dyan dynasty was overthrown and the
whole island passed under British rule
It was supposed that Sella was nftees
years of age at the time, but this is sur
mise. His two friends, with which he
usually worked, and which fell to the
Government at the same time, dleo
TWENTY-FIVE years ago. In 1880 it was
decided to sell all the elephants belong
inc to the Public Works Department,
and Sclla fell to q resident of Colombo,
Mr.. de Soysa. The animal was tuskar'
very docile, and worked steadily all ms
life. He aided IN several operations for
the capture and tanning of wild elephants,
but became totally blind about three
wears ago. Notwithstanding this he CON
tinued to work at the plow until within
a short time before his death. Aftel
death the tusks were removed, and meas
ured five feet in length, the height of the
animal being eight feet. He was wen
known to successive generations OF BTU
ish residents in Colombo.

RuM's WORK.

According to the testimony Of Jost
Thomson, not all the ages Of sensuality and
idol worship and warning have done 50 much
to demoralize and brutalize the Africans as;
has been effected in generation or two
through strong drink. It is when removed
from drink in the interior that the souls o.
the natives are comparatively pure and statn-
less, while brought in connection with the,
nearest coast they have become black and def
generate The same was true Of the Indian
races in this country. With all the ages be-.
hind him the red man could never become 81
fend and devil till rum made him SO. We.
talk of paganisn, heathenism and all the rest
but there are thousands upon thousands u,
our large cities whom strong drink has made:
more heatheniah, depraved and God-forsaksns
than paganism could do IL it had added cen-
turies in which to work out its natural re-
suits. II evolution were to be taken sfor
granted in regard to native races, strong
drink appears to be the one thing above all
others which arrests it and sends them on the
line of hopeless degradation. In case OF mnls
titudes it equally arrests it in Christian coun-'
tries, so that nothing is to be hoped for sby
any natural process, if even through the
grace of God.

THE DUTY OF PRAISE.

Praise when it is deserved is of more i'm
portance to the giver than to the receiver.
Praise does not Immediately affect the merit
of him to whom its awarding belongs. If q
man deserves praise, he is quite as much OF
q man without praise as with it; but no man
can be so much of man, nor seem so much
of man, while Withholding just praise as
while bestowing it. If, for example, man
risks his life for another in an act Of unset
fish heroism, it in no way affects his merit,
that he is given or is denied praise; but
it does affect the merit of an observer of
that act, that he renders praise un-
stintingly, or that he withholds it un-
generously. And the same principle is oper-
ative all along the line of human conduct
and of its observance. Praise is the price
that an on.looker puts upon a well-doers
performance; and the on-looker measures
himself in the measure of the price which
he awards to the performance Of the we'll
doer. In little matters as in larger the Civ
ing of deserved praise is duty, the perform
ance of which is even more important to the
one who owes it than to the one to whom it
is owed. The man who deserves praise can
get along without it. The man who ought
to give praise can never get along as he
ought to unless he pays it all to the utter
most farthing.-Sunday School Times.

BY AND BY.

Down the stream where the tide IS clearer,
Farther on where the shores are fair,
And the gracious forms we would faln oe
nearer,
The names we speak in the voice of prayer
Be the voyage long they will be the dea:er
When after while we shall greet them
there,
Farther on where the tide is clearer,
Down the stream where the shores are far
BY and by when the sun is shining,
After while when the skies are clear,
When the cloud unfolds its silver lining
And shores of the peaceful isles draw near,
We shall free our tongues from their dull re-
pining
And fill our hearts with words Of cheer
After while when the sun is shining,
By and by when the skies are clear.

Getting Even With Chicken Thieves.

A chicken raiser at Elmhurst, Penn,
lost thirty odd broiers last summer by
hen hawks. He found that the hawks
generally swooped down upon the young
fowl at about midday. An old woods
man told him how to get even with the
big chicken thieves. Out in the lot near
his barn he planted round post with
fiat top. Around the rim Of the top ne
bored gimlet holes two inches apart, slant
ing them outward little. Then he got
some steels out of an old umbrella, made
them uniform in length, filed one end of
each to a point as sharp as darning
needle, and inserted them into the gimlet
holes, with the sharp points UP. Inside
of the circle of spikes he stood dead
chicken, placing its head as though it was
picking food. Before the novel trap had
been completed an hour an immense
hawk swooped down after the dead
chicken on top of the post, striking so
hard that five of the sharp wires ran clear
through its body. During the summer
eight hen hawks and big owl got i'm
paled on the sharp spikes, and the poul-
try raiser lost no more chickens.

A BOYS RELIGION.

If boy is a lover of the Lord Jesus Christ,
though he can't lead a prayer-meeting or
be church officer, or preacher, he can be
godly boy, in boys way and boys place.
He ought not be too solemn or too quiet for
q boy. He need not cease to be boy be-
cause he is Christian. He ought to run,
jump. play, climb, and yell like a real boy.
But in it all he ought to be free from yul-
garity and profanity. He ought to eschew
tobacco in every form, and have a hor,
Tor of Intoxicating drinks. He ought
to be peaceable, gentle, merciful gen:
erous. He ought to take the part Of
small boys against Large ones, he ought ought to to
be party to mischief, to persecution to
deceit. And, above all things, he ought
now and then to show his colors. He need
not always be interrupting game to say he
is Christian, but he ought not be ashamed
to say that he refuses to do something be-
cause it is wrong and wicked, or because he
fears God, or is q Christian. He ought to
take no part in the ridicule of sacred things,
but meet the ridicule of others with a bold
statement that for the things of God he feels
the deepest reverence.-Selected.

An Observing Profession.

"It's no wonder that robbers 60 out to
rob-" observed tramp the other day, as
he sat on salt barrel in front of groc-
ery on West street. "Any man with an
ounce of brains can make a sure thing of
it,"
"Please explain"
"Well, it's this way: While I never
stole a cents worth in all my life, I've
been tempted thousand times. Let me
give you the lay of the average farm
house. There is always half dollar on
the kitchen clock shelf to buy notions OF
the peddlers. If the farmer is working,
his silver watch hangs on nail just to
the right of the shelf. In the bedroom
off the sitting room you'll find all the
iewelry. It's always kept in the left
hand corner of the bottom bureau
drawer"
Chow do you know9"
"You never mind. The deeds and
other papers are in tin box under the
bed. If there's any sum of money above
$40 in the house it's in baking-powder
can on the top shelf of the pantry. No
farmer goes to bed with over dollsr OF
two in bis pocket. He lays his pants on
a chair at the foot of the bed, and they
can always be reached from the window.
The KEY to the barn hangs on a nail over
the kitchen sink, and the lantern Away
hangs in the cellarway."
"You are close observer, my friend. .
swell, perhaps, but no more than the
rest of the boys. I can go through the
average farm house at midnight and
never touch chair nor squeak door, and
I'll find things just where have told you
they were kept" ."-NeO York Sun.

LABOR LEADERS WHO AsHoR LIoUoH

It is hopeful sign Of the times that the;

have nothing to do with strike that, wonh
minister to the vilest passions Of mem, pam,
der to their drunken habits by giving money
away that ought to go to build up the consd7

great body Of workingmen will join IN g per-
petual 'strike" against the brewery, distal-
1ery, and the saloon, under such leaders as
Mr.. Burns, the greatest oppressor OF labor
will be speedily overthrown.
It is also significant and encouraging thas
Mr.. Powderly, the official head OF knights o.
Labor on this side of the Atlantic, Is ont
spoken for the prohibition Of the liquor traf-

RELIGIOUS READING.
"KIssEp HIS MOTHER"

dlS MOIdEh
She sat on the porch in the sunshine,
As went down the street.
A woman whose hair was silver,
But whose face was blossom sweet,
Making me think Of garden,
When, in spite of the frost and snow
Of bleak November weather,
Late, fragrant lilies blow.
heard footstep behind me,
And the sound Of merry laugh,
And knew the heart it came from
Would be like comforting staff
In the time and in the hour Of trouble,
Hopeful and brave and strong,
One of the hearts to lean on
When we think all things go wrong.
turned at the click of the gate latch,
And met his manly look;
A ce like his gives me pleasure,
Like the page of a pleasant book.
It told of steadfast purpose,
Ola brave and daring will
A face with promise in it,
. That, God grant, the years fulfil.
He went up the pathway singing;
saw the woman's eyes
Grow bright with wordless welcome,
As sunshine warns the skies.
"Back again, sweetheart mother"
He cried, and bent to kiss
The loving face that was uplifted
For what some mothers miss.
That hoy will do to depend on;
hold that this is true
From lads in love with their mothers.
Onr bravest heroes grew, heart
Earth's grandest hearts have been loving
Since time the earth began;
And the boy who kisses his mother
Is every inch man!
