INCREASING DANGER,

The Production of intoxicating Liquors In
the United States.
According to the official report of tho
commissioner of internal revenue, re-
Gently presented to congress, the total
production of distilled spirits for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1890. was
100, 275, sas gallons; the total production
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1889,
was s9,35s,51 gallons, making an in
crease of 19,917,41s gallons.
The number of barrels of beer pro-
duced during the fiscal year ended June
80, 1890, was 27,551, 944. The number of
barrels produced during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1889, was 25,119, 1853,
making an increased production of
2,442,0 barrels.
During the fiscal year ended June so,
1890, 6,211 distilleries of all kinds were
in operation, while for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1850, 4,349 distilleries of
all kinds were operated. making an in
crease in the number of distilleries ope-
rated of 1862.
These figures showing q steady in
crease in the production of Intoxicating
liquors, both distilled and fermented,
should suffice to awaken renewed and
increased efforts in the direction Of
total abstinence propagandism on the
part of the friends of temperance
throughout the country. - National

poured forth such magnificent strains
that all Bird grove came out to listen.

The Terrible Result of Seeing . Clergy.
man Take Vino.
At q temperance meeting in Phila-
delphia some years ago, learned
clergyman spoke in favor of wine as q
drink, demonstrating it quite to his
own satisfaction to be Scriptural, gen.
tlemanly and healthful. When he sat
down, plain elderly man rose and
asked the liberty of saying a few
words. "A young friend of mine,"
said he, 'who had long been intemper-
ate was at length prevailed on to take
the pledge of abstinence from all that
could intoxicate. He kept his pledge
faithfully for time, though the
struggle with his habit was fearful. till
one evening in social party glasses of
wine were handed around. They came
to the clergyman present. who took a
glass, saying few words in vindica-
ton of the practice. WELL said the
young man, If clergyman can take
wine, and justify it, why not ~ So he
also took glass. 1tinstantly rel<indled
his fiery and slumbering appetite; and
after rapid downward course he died
of delirium tremens-a raving mad
man." The old man paused for utter
ance, and was just able to add: "That
young man was my only son, and the
clergyman was the reverend doctor
who has just addressed this assembly"

Christianity the Only Thorough and Last
ing Remedy.
All the statistics that have been
gathered by temperance organizations,
governments or individuals in regard
to the consumption of strong drink in
our own and other countries have been
of the most discouraging character for
years. And, notwithstanding all efforts
that have been made to promote reform
by moral suasion, by restrictive and
prohibitory legislation, the evil is con-
stantly increasing.
In 1881 the consumption of beer was
s.65 gallons, and of spirits 1888 gallons
per capita. In 1882. of beer, 10. 0S; of
spirits, lao gallons for every man,
woman and child in the United States.
In 1890 the quantity of beer consumed
gives 1865 gallons of beer for each in
habitant of the country and 1.40 gal
Ions of spirits. This would amount to
S55, 792, 1886 gallons of beer, which, with
the spirituous liquors used, must have
cost the consumers not less than $780,
600, 900.
In England, France, Germany, and
probably in almost all other countries,
the ratio of increase is equal to our
own. The revenue to both the govern
ments of England and France from the
use of strong drink was larger by mil
lions of dollars in 1890 than for the pre-
ceding year.

In the usual way, of course, dead
twigs. dry leaves and grass without
and fibrous roots within; but all the
while they were making it they were
dissatisfied and were trying to find
some way to give q finish to it which
would fill Bird Grove with astonish-
ment. When the house was nearly
completed, Mr.. Catbird came home one
day with feathers ruffled and so ex-
cited he could scarcely speak. That
morning he was flying near a house
when he saw freshly ironed linen
collar lying on the ground under a
window. Not being posted in such
things, he supposed it was a piece of
marble. The black characters on the
outside near the bottom only added to
its beauty. He resolved to capture it
for stone front to his house. He
knew It would be stealing, but the
love of show had drowned the little
voice which tells brides what is right
and what is wrong. He told Mrs. Cat
bird the plan, and she agreed to help
him. After dark that night they went
quietly to the place. They both
trembled, and their hearts beat so
loudly that they were afraid of awak-
ening the persons in the house. Mrs.
Catbird could scarcely keep from cry
ing, but her husband WHISPERED: "Just
think how those Orioles will feel when
they see our house with a marble
facade!" This gave them courage, and
they each took one end of the collar
and started home. 1t was heavy and
they could scarcely lift it, but, b. rest.
ing often, they at last carried it to the
spot. 1t was then too late to work any
more. SO, with aching hearts-for it
was their first theft-they tucked their
heads under their wings and went to
sleep.
Early the next morning they were
awake and ready for work. The
marble, as they called it, did not look
SO handsome as it did the night before.

placed it around the outside. Mrs. Cat

within the borders Of the Empire state
where butter and cheese were made
under the same roof, last season. The
maker in charge, who is an experienced
man, told me few days ago that on
the start he had frst-rate luck in the

complaints began to be received from
the New York commission house which
was handling the factory's product.
They said something was to pay with
the butter; its flavor was offensive, and
it was almost unstable. The maker
was in a quandary. but not until an ex-
pert who had examined the butter gave
in his verdict did the former locate the
real cause of the trouble. The expert

took long dried grasses and bound It
on. By the time the jewellers in Bird
Grove were stirring the work was done,
and Mr. and Mrs. Catbird started out in
search of breakfast. When they re-
turned they saw that there was some
unusual excitement in the trees near
their home. On coming nearer they
saw strange crowd. Several men,
bers of the Warbler family, Mr.. and
Mrs. Blue Jay, the despised Orioles,
Miss Pewee with her admirer tagging
close to her heels, the Buntings, and
many others were talking in an excited
manner. A noisy English Sparrow
was there making himself conspicuous
as newspaper reporter. A little apart
from the rest, not perching, but con-
tinually on the wing, was Mr.. Hum
mingbird, who, though small, was a
well-known architect. While the rest
were talking he seemed to be making
a minute study of the curious dwelling.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Catbird appeared
they were greeted with flood of ques-
tions. They were so pulled up with
pride that they disdained to answer, SO
the crowd soon broke up and went to
their work.
The new house was done, and now
Mrs. Catbird must lay her eggs. Mr..
Catbird could not rest till he had slyly
peeked into Mrs. Orioles nest to see
the color of her eggs. He came home
and cheered Mrs. Catbird by telling her
that her neighbours eggs were so COM
xv,hSf
scraggly lines on them! "Why, my
dear mate," said he, ''they cannot b.
compared with your lovely blue green
eggs"
The very day after this new display
of pride, gentleman and lady came
walking along near the bush where
this wonderful nest was built. The
lady, glancing up, said: ''Why, what is
that curious thing up there?" They
stopped, and after looking a minute,
the gentleman burst out laughing and
replied: "Why, that is my collar.
There is the name, James McNab, on
the outside. That is an ingenious piece
of work. All! my bird, we shall have to
make this our contribution to the Natur-
al History museum. If can afford to
lose the collar, you can afford to give
up the nest, and you will be punished
for stealing besides" At this Mrs
Catbird flew off the nest. Her terrified
mate joined her piercing cries. but the
man coolly tore down the nest and
walked off with it. Here they were,
just at the time when Mrs. Orioles
babies were peepirg out of the shell,
left without even home. They felt
very sad, but they knew it was just
punishment for their pride and theft.
They resolved to begin life anew, and
ever afterward to be contented with
