THE SLEEPING DEMON.
The Awful Consequences Of Dallying with
the Tempter.

The Awful Consequences Of Dallying with
the Tempter.
The following incident is full Of les
sons for reformed men. It comes direct
from leader in Gospel Temperance
work:
A good-hearted man who was under
the power of drink reformed and re-
manned steadfast for nine years, amass-
ing fifty thousand dollars in money, be-
coming director in an important Tenn
perance institution, and being instru-
mental in saving one hundred and
sixty-three men who had fallen. At the
end of nine years he felt altogether
safe, became proud Of his success, did
not like to have any one know he was
reformed man, and ceased to attend and
work in the Temperance meetings. A
saloon-keeper got hold of him and
offered to wager ten dollars that this
reformed man of nine years standing
could not walk around the block with a
teaspoonful Of whisky in his mouth. In
the weakness of his pride, the poor fel.
low accepted the wager, swallowed the
whisky, his appetite was fiercely
aroused. he began to drink, and six
years after this diabolical temptation
he died drunkard. "Let him that
standeth take heed lest he fall" and let
him remember that to work in Christ's
name for others is the surest way Of
being saved himself. -National w. G. 7.

ETHER oRUNKARDs IN IRELAND.

They eau Get Tlpsy Six Times In Twenty.
Four Hours.
More than two tons Of ether are car
ried away every year on the railways in
one district of the North of Ireland.
The headquarters of ether drinking Is
Draperstown. A population of 100000
persons is more or less etheromaniac.
On market and fair days, wherever
there is crowd, the atmosphere reeks
with fumes of ether. DR.. Kerr says
that the smell is overpowering, nauseat.
ing and loathsome. Persons OF both
sexes and of all ages have become slaves
to this degrading aid intractable dis
ease. Women drink as much as men.
One great advantage Of ether from the
point of view of the etheromanic is this:
You can get drunk and get sober again
so much more rapidly.
The drinker of ether can become intoxicated
and regain sobriety before the drinker OF al
cohol has really become properly intoxicated.
I have known an alcoholist get thoroughly
drunk twice in twenty-four hours, though this
rarely happens but the educated etherist can,
at pinch get drunk and sober again six times
in the same space OF time have seen man
sober as @ Judge at noon, extensively drunk on
ether In twenty five minutes, and rs sober as
| before by quarter past one O'Clock. The
phases Of an ether outbreak can all be exhib-
| tied in even less time The rapidity with which
the phenomena pass before the vision is truly
| astounding. The inexperienced can be drunk
and sober again before he has any idea OF being
drunk.
At first it seems to produce very little
serious effect, but if persisted in it
brings on premature old age and many
disorders. Chronic and distressing in
fammation of the stomach, impairment
Of the digestive functions, trembling,
melancholy and suspicious, lividity,
GOODNESS, and intermittent pulse, with
persistent wasting, have not infrequent-
ly been the penalties paid by the ex-
cessive ether-taker. Dr. Kerr says he
has seen an etheromanic at forty-one
a weakened, bent, decrepit ole man.
There have already been nearly dozen
fatal cases, perhaps more. The most
terrible influence of ether indulgence is,
however, on the morals. The ether in
ebriate, with morbid and ever-growing
craving for larger doses of the deadly
drug, which he hates but must devour,
sinks into loathsomeness of falsehood,
deceit and cunning.
| You can get drunk with ether for
four-pence, but when you are seasoned
vessel it costs you as much as shilling.
DR.. Kerr proposes that naphtha should
be added to ether as it is now added to
methylated spirits from which the ether
is extracted. He'would abolish the re-
tail trade in ether and confine the sale
to druggists, who would be compelled
to register the name and address Of the
purchaser, and the object for which the
ether is applied. In every other way
he would do his utmost to stamp out
the nefarious and pestiferous traffic.

The dreaded Group had come, and she
was alone; there was no one to send for
the doctor.
Just then sober old Sally, the tor

den-path from the barn. The mother
remembered that Sally hadbeen trained
to carry notes to the store-grandpa's
store at the foot of the lane-she had
never been known to fail in carrying
them safely.
Calling old puss, she hastily wrote
"Send the doctor at once; baby has

Pawnshops are incredibly numerous
and packed with treasures of every de-
scription, diamonds, pearls, emeralds;
splendid laces, articles of virtu, table
service, and toilet sets of solid gold and
silver (including pieces for all the COM
mon uses of the bedroom, betokening
the extravaganza of an age when the
Andes poured out streams of precious
metal that were thought to be mex
haustible); for since these latter days of
poverty the wolf has been kept from
many doors by the surreptitious sale of
household treasures, heirloOms, keep
sakes, and even rich, old-fashioned gar
ments which their dead grandmothers
wore. It is quite the fashion here to
visit pawnshops; and the tourist can
not do better than 60 on tours of in
spection and perhaps convert some
coined silver into jewely in antique set
tings, which may sometimes be bought
for a 1.-THE of their real value.-Lima

"There Is But One Book"

The midnight sky adorned with stars

The former has no such conception OF
the glory of the heavens as the latter
has. He has visions of magnifcence
through his hours Of lonely vigil with
his telescope utterly incomprehensible
to an unframed eye. Thus it is with
the Bible. Only by study and familiar
ity with it shall we know its treasures
of instruction and comfort. As we
make it our daily meditation we shall

RECENT GuEANlNGS,

THE education department of South
Australia has issued Temperance
Pledge Book for use in the schools.
The Supreme Court of Massachu-

be enforced will prevent the sale OF

ACCORDING to DR.. Norman Kerr there

country, five million in England, three
million or more in France and an equal
number in Germany, besides vast host
throughout the rest Of the world. 1t is

GETTING KNOWLEDGE.
Charles Dudley Warner ON the Habit Of At.

Charles Dudley Warner on the Habit Of At.
tentiOn and the Reading of Books.
An active-minded boy or girl can find
out a great deal about the world we
live in by the habit Of attention, by
looking around; and he or she ean get
much inspiration from the EXAMPLE Of
good men and women. But this krowl.
edge can be added to indefinitely by
reading, and people will read if they
have genuine desire to know things,
and are mot, as we say, too lazy to
live" When l hear boy say that he
does not know what to read, l wonder
if he has no curiosity. Is there nothing
that he wants to know about? Most
children ask questions. 1t often hap
pens that the persons they ask can not
answer the questions. Now, it is the
purpose of books to do just this thing
which the particular person asked can
not do. And it must be borne in mind
that curiosity is of many kinds; curiosity
about facts, about emotions, about what
happened long ago, about what is TAX
ing place now, about the people who
lived ages ago, the people whu live now,
about others and about ones self. So
it happens that one wants to read sci
ence, and poetry, and history, and biog-
raphy, and romances, and the daily
news.
1t is quite impossible to lay down
rules for reading that will suit all chill
dren, and generally difficult to map out
a course" to be infexibly pursued by
any one. But nearly every mind is or
can be interested in something, and
a very good plan is to encourage
reading concerning the subject the
child shows some curiosity about.
One thing will certainly lead to another,
for nothing is isolated in this world.
Try to find out all you can about one
thing, one fact in history, one person,
the habits of one animal, the truth
about one historical character; pursue
this, and before you know it you will be
] a scholar in many things.
Do not forget that reading is means
to an end. The indulgence Of it is good
or bad according to the end in view,
The mind is benefited by pursuing some
definite subject until it is understood
bat it is apt to be impaired by idly nib
bling now and then, tasting Thousand
things, and swallowing none, in 50 ort
