The Curse of Strong Drink.

The distiller3 make the whiskey and the
brewers make the beer
Our Creator made the water 80 pure and
bright and clear
" Whiskey is like arsenic and beer like fer
mented swill.
But the pure sweet crystal water iloweth

Why should men spend their money that
is so hard to earn,
For the wicked, writhing serpent that will
bite and sting and burn.
We are immortal creatures with body, soul
and mind
Why should men drink the vile stutf that
makes them so unkind'
That big listed saloon keeper that stands
behind the bar,
He takes a drink, and strikes MATCH and
lights q big cigar.
In comes the wrctched worker with his
solitary shilling,
And gives it to the bartender while he the
glass is filing.
He begrudges the landlord his money with
stove-pipe hat and cane
While he drinks down the liquor TO destroy
his soul and brain.
He then demands another then staggcrs

reddish brown.
He is getting very drunk rs he drinks it

As he drinks the red brown liquor he drinks
curses from the cup,
With cursing and with swearing he stag

Then falls to the floor and IS kicked to the
street.
The patrol wagon is summoned hes dead
drunk they say.
Now he's of to the jail that is not far

TO spend a night in prison what a horrid,
wretched thing.
il you drink the poison whisky, that's the
curses it will bring.
But there is a time that's coming when
the punishment is worse.
For there is no earthly mind we know can
comprehend that curse.
There is a passage in the Bible which the
drunkard never hced5.
No drunkard shall see God H. | think. the

Fasting.

\ Frenchman, NJ. Charles Richet, has
been investigating cases of long fasting
voluntary and involuntary.
Cold bloodcd animals can live without
food twice AS long rs warm blood
ed ones. Dogs can endure starvation thir-
ty days before they die, human beings u.s.
ually sixteen to twenty days. The fatal
limit is reached when the animal or mar
becomes so cmaciated that 40 per cent. oI
weight is lost
Those who endure long iasts with impu
nifty are usually persons dominated by
some absorbing idea which takes away the
thought from the stomach. The most not
ed iasters are hystcrical subjects and
IIindoo iakirs IL is remarkable that i'll
these cases the emaciation is comparative
" slight. Some other other inauSnce
seems TO step in for the time and stop the
usual operations Of the body.
NJ. Richet see no reason TO doubt that
Tanner. Merlatti, and Succi tasted the full
fifty days as they claim, but says their
fasts were undertaken under most favorable
circumstances. They had only TO put forth
their hand and eat at any moment 1t
would have been different had they been
shipwrccked on n desert island, or perish
ing in ice fields, like party found in 1909.
These were without food seventeen days.
When found their skin was sticking to the
bones. and was covered with u sooty
scuri. Their tongues were black, their
breaths fetd. This sickening odor and
blackness of the skin and tongue are char
acterislic Of the last stages of starvation.

Writing Short Sentences.

Two students, Smith and Jones, were
great friends in college. They had made
an agreement that after each had been AT
home for week during the vacation term,
Jones should write in Latin 4 letter To
Smith, the reply was to be in Latin also.
The writer who wrote a good sensible let
ter, with the least number of words, was
to have the entire expense of his vacation
paid by the other.
Jones wrote from his city residence:
'Eo RURE,'
meaning in English 81 am going 10 the
country.
''If Smith writes shorter letter than
that and to the point chuekled Jones,
"he's a corkcr."
The next day Smiths came. 1t read rs
follows:

Again have a loyal people attested their love
and undying gratitude toward the brave men
who went forth to fight the battles of their
country and sacrificed their lives on its altar
Again have patriotic hearts beat in sympathetic
unison. the brief, sad records were read, of
those noble heroes who achieved a glory and
honor that secures for their memories the eternal
remembrance of grateful posterity. and to which
the age of Methuselah could not have added
more. Again have loving hands tenderly cover
ed the graves of the here dead with floral offer
lngs and again have a united people devoted
this day to the purposes to which it was conse-
Grated. The whole nation gave expression to its
love for those who sealed with their lives the
grand destiny of the country, and we believe
there are no hearts, north or south. that did not
Join In rendering glad tribute to their memories,
or that are not profoundly thankful for their
bravery, which inspired them to face the worst
horrors of battle. and forsook them not in the
hour of death. We believe all are thankful for
the issue of that unnatural struggle. ar1 that
there is universal realization and app ciasion
of the great benefits resulting. We believe that

the services rendered by the boys in tiue'' who

heroes who fought as their conseiences dictated.
and entered the service of their country with as
pure motives as theirnorthern brothers. and gave
their lives to cause they deemed right. We be-

not the acts of men. and are confident that the

memories of all who fought and died to preserve

While courts are supposed to do Justice be-
tween men. yet it is undoubtedly true that they
fail in many cases, for reasons best known to
those most familiar with the workings of these
coarts. One of these unfortunate cases was
that of stoffer VS. Needham, tried to jury two
weeks since. While the verdict may have been
in accordance with the stern rules of law, yet
it was in reality simply a sanction given to the
oppression of the powerful over the weaker. Il
simply gave credit to those actions of men
| which. though sheltered by the cloak of law
are really to be despi.ed and looked upon with
contempt. This case was nothing less thai
