A FOE TO PROSPERITY.

A Montreal priest, speaking recently, said
From the standpoint Of theory alone, we
may conclude that the liquor trade must
necessarily prove the foe Of the material
prosperity Of our city. But we do not need
to theorze. The teachings Of experience,
the testimony Of those who are engaged in
relieving the poor, and the still stronger tes-
timony Of the innocent victims Of the drunk
ards crime all attest the truth Of what we
now advance, that three-fourths of the mis-
cry, poverty and want which our eyes daily
witness, are due to the liquor traffic as car
ried on in our midst. If you doubt my word,
ask the members Of st. Vincent de Paurs
Society. the members of every charitable
organization, whether Catholic or Protes-
tant, to take our place as almoners Of the
poor: visit the homes Of those whom we are
called upon to belp; listen as we have to
listen to the cries Of the poor for food, cloth
ing, shelter, and to the sad tale Of the
drunkard's crime which has robbed mother
or wife of the support of once noble and in
dustrious, but now degraded, helpless, lazy
manhood and you will agree with us that
only one class Of men derive profit from the
LIQUOR trade, but at the terrible price of not
a hundred, but a thousand impoverished
homes; at the price Of not few individ-
uals made forlorn and desolate, but Of fully
three-fourths of the many thousands who
are dependent on public charity"

The KanyarO0 Bat.

A most interesting animal that iuhab-.
its. Death Valley, Of Arizona, is tho
ukangaroo rat" which makes its wsy:
about by jumping. It has long and
powerful hind legs and surprisingly
long tail. Its coloring varies from light
graz to dark brown, according to Theth-,
er it frequents the alksli or the lava,
nature intending to protect it from cap
ture by the likeness of its hue to lfa
surroundings. The kangaroo rat lves
in burrows, as does likewise a smallef
kind that is commonly called the "kan-
paroo, mouss;" but neither is in any tru6
sense. mouse or rat. They belong To-
families quite different.
Nevertheless there are plenty OF real
rats in Death Valley, as the expedition
has found. One kind that lives In the
chapparal, with bare tails and exqulsits
soft fur, is the staple food of the Dig
GER Indians who dwell in the mountains
thsreabouts. The latter catch the beasts
! with dogs, frightening them out OF their
nests which are made like those OF
squirrels, of great size, IN the bushes or.
punches of cactus.
With respect to the kangaroo rats, one
extraordinary point should be mentioned,
relating toa certain development OF their
skulls, which bulge out at the sides in .
surprising way. In fact, no such big
bnlges as these, which contain the near
ing apparatus, are to be found in any
other known animal. Washington Star.

ME with reference to the class Of offences

the consequence of drunkenness"
Mr.. Justice Fitzgerald, at the Dublin
Assizes, 1873, said: 1.-THE crying and beset-
ting crime of intemperance is crime lead
ing to all other crimes; crime which you
may very well say leads to nineteen.twen-
tieths OF the crimes Of the country"
The late Baron Dowse, in the same year,
at the Wicklow Assizes, said IF our people
were more sober, think that crime would
almost entirely disappear from our midst. :"
And in 1887 in the Public Commission
Court ''he found that drink was at the
bottom Of almost every crime in Dublin.
Even in cases that had no apparent connec-
ton with drink at all, If closely investigated,
as he himself had done on many occasions,
they would be found to have their origin in
drink"
Lord Chief-Justice Coleridge stated in the
Supreme Court in 1881, that Judges were
weary with calling attention to drink as the
principal cause Of crime, but he could not re-
frain from saying that il they could make
England sober they would shut up nine
tenths Of the prisons.

The Parent OF Wheat.

Il has often been claimed that wheat
is indigenous to parts of Asia, and that
Il has been found wild where it could
not have been introduced, but this n
doubted by equally good authorities
Botanists have spent much time In trying
to discover the origin of wheat, and
every few years it is announced that ina
great problem Us to the parentage OF
this grain has at last been solved, only
to end in another disappointment. Sew
eral wears ago French gardener an
pounced that he had discovered the trua
source or parent of wheat in little wild
Grass known to botanists as Egilopa
ovata, a species common through tina
Mediterranean region; but further expefl-
ments did not sustain the claim OF tho
French gardener, and his theory waa
soon abandoned. 1t is quite probable
that the wild wheat from which the cut-
t,vated varieties descended has become
extinct, and this is why the original type
cannot be found or determined. Neither
is it known what race of people or where.
wheat was first cultivated, all history or
such events having been lost.-Ss'a

WORDS OF WISDOM.

All is fair in love-except the bride
groom.
The hero is one whose sensibility obeys
his will. az
Poverty is no disgrace, but disgrace il
poverty intensified.
The coward is one whose will is domi
mated by his sensibility.
Much of what appears to be sel6shnes:

Don't take position of responsibility

Sometimes we can best help our friend

The longer we live the more numerous
arc the ties that bind us to earth.
The scoundrel is one who subordinates

When talking to common place people
it is common sense to make use of COM

Because your trouble was occasioned

the easier to bear.
Practice makes perfect, but the per-

tough on the neighbors.
Some rich people think that money

To work without using your brains, is

Nothing else gives life such a relish

When a child has been punished after
