DISASTROUS EARTHQUAKE

A dispatch from San Salvador,
under date of September 8, has the
following account of great earth
quake which occurred there on that
date:
Millions of dollars worth Of prop
erty and many lives were lost In
this republic by an earthquake to-
day. Whole towns were wiped
out, and as far as the advices re-
celved indicate, hardly a city in the
country, except those along the
coast, escaped the effects of the
CONFUSION.
There had been indications for
several days past that seismic
disturbance of more than usual
power might be expected. The
VOLCANOES of San Salvador, San Mig
uel and Izalco had been unuasally
active.
At 1856 o'clock this morning the
earth began to shake. The wave
had strong vertical and oscilla-
tory movement. The people rushed
into the streets in their night
clothing, and while the shock
lasted only twenty seconds, before
it passed away there was a panic
stricken mob making their way to
the open country outside Of the
city. Men, women and children
were shrleking and praying in the
streets.
The walls of the houses cracked,
tottered and fell. There was deep
continuous rumbling as of heavy
thunder. The earth rose and fell
in long waves, and the people were
unable to keep their feet. All
through the morning there had
been slight shocks, but mono APP
preaching in intensity that which
was so destructive.
President Ezeta is doing every
thing he can to stop the panic and
care for the homeless people until
it is considered safe for them to go
back to their homes. The towns
throughout the country suffered
more severely than the capital.
Analquito and Comasagua were
completely destroyed. Cojutapeque,
Santa Tecla, San Pedro and Masa-
husa are so badly shaken that they
are practically ruined, while the
shock was plainly telt and con-
siderable damage was done at
Santa Ana and other points fully
sixty miles from here. 1t is i'm
possible at this writing to form any
idea as to the number of lives lost.
Two people were killed here. 1t is
feared many people were killed in
the smaller towns.
Later accounts say that several
hundred lives were lost, but full
details are not at hand. The loss
of life at Comasagua, in the center
of the disturbance, was very great.
The severity Of the shocks at that
point may be judged by the fact
that cut of 800 houses only eight
remain standing.

EngInnd.s Liquor POLICY.

Mr. w. S. Game. prominent ex-
member of parliament. said recently
in Edinburg that England had forced
intoxicants upon the people of India,
and by her liquor policy had spread
terrible ruin and misery among her
native population. The British dis
covered one hundred years ago that
absolute prohibition was the attitude
of the old native governments. he said,
and the people of India were by habit
tradition, and still more by religion,
total abstainers from intoxicants. For
ty years ago an excise system was in
troduced under which the government
farmed out ardent spirits to the bidder
who took the largest quantity, and in
addition acquired and now holds a
monopoly in the sale of opium and
bhang. the latter described as the most
maddening intoxicant in existence
The system has spread ruin and Desc
lation among the natives. Something
may be learned from the fact that the
temperance reformers have recently
secured the closing Of over ten thousand
liquor shops in Madras alone. Chicago

ENROLLING THOUGHTS.

Good witch They Exert Is inestimable.
A public man whose influence has
been powerful for good in this country,
said lately:
ssMy father was un uneducated, hard
working farmer. Yet some of his
methods of training his children showed
a keen insight and rare wisdom. He
had the habit, for instance, of telling US
as we ate our breakfast any story Of

toned custom. But it would be imposl
sible to measure the influence which
these great ideas had in elevating the
daily current of our thoughts We
could not give ourselves up wholly 10
trivial or mean things with this great
thought ringing in our minds like the
call of trumpet"
A busy mother upon whom much Of
the actual labor of her household de-
volved, said once:
II have no time TO search In books for
great thoughts to widen and lift my
children's minds But I try to bring
into our family life the high, liberal
charity taught by Christ ] try, too, TO
keep the children's attention fixed upon
some subject outside of their own lives
zone day it may be new book, the
next a political crisis in our own coun.
try, or a great flood in China. These
things serve to turn their thoughts from
personal gossip or squabbling."
There are many homes in which some
idea like these is at work, Tightening
and uplifting the whole family life
There are others in which the members
resemble parts of machine at work
They earn money, they eat, drink and
sleep; but the life, the ennobling prin.
ciple, is lacking.

a POTENT MEANS.
Poor Food and Overwork as Incentives 3
Drink


Poor Food and Overwork as Incentives to
Drink.
The prevention of alcoholism is a
physiological life. The cure of alco-
holism is a return to physiological
life. The ways by which either the
prevention or cure of alcoholism are to
be attained are as multiform as the in
dividuals involved and the varieties OF
human existence. At another time we
shave called attention to the part that
good food, well cooked, so as to be
easily digested, plays in the prevention
or cure of this disorder. We know OF
no such potent means for preventing
alcoholism as the presence upon every
table, at every meal, of such food.
Labors toward this end should be en-.
couraged by all who desire to see alco-
holism wiped out of the community.
Another means of preventing alcohol
ism is the avoidance of exhaustion.
The overworked literary, scientific or
business individual must get rid OF
worry and fatigue, as he feels that he
must continue the race though he
knows the penalty. A hopeful outlook
for the future is the greater attention
given to this matter. 1t is needful to
urge the laborer to avoid exertion be-
yond his strength and thus avoid the
nervous exhaustion that entices to the
consumption of alcohol, etc. We have
no faith in any specific for drunken
uess.-Dr. Connor, in Lancet.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
A FATAL GAME.

IA temperance lecture derived from VISIT 70
the Tombs police court.
Behold the creature passing there
With tattered clothes disheveed hair
He shufies on with fOotstep, slow
Trembling and weak his head how'd low
All M. / know his story we'll
How from his grand estate he fell
knew him as bnght-eyed boy,
His fathers pride, his mothers Joy;
In manhood, wealth at his command,
High among men he took his stand,
When 10 the willy tempter came
And barred the gate that led to fame
You see him now an abiect slave
Until he fills pauper's grave-to run
Another victim totters by
With bloated features. watery eye,
And even now for liquor begs.
From misery's cup she's drained the dregs.
In police station passed the night
swhat brings her TO this sorry plightr'
They say she once was young and fair,
With laughing eye and glossy hair
She's been-you'd scarce believe II true
A happy bride, mother, too
Her child, then husband. stricken down
She sought the glass, her grief TO drowni
Downward she went they seldom pause
One simple word explains the cause-'tis rum.
Approaches now a man OF wealth.
His face aglow with life and health
A diamond from his breast does fash;
They say his clothes are lined with cash
Who is this person great and grand
Who meets his friends on every handi
A legislator great is he
In this, the land of liberty
A chosen one TO make our laws
He also owns five liquor stores.
II stuff that made of others tramps
TDrncurad for him hoth mower and afamnn
In TRUTH It's but fatal game
The losers have themselves to blame-anc
rum.
