How Life Can BE Prolonged With a Good
Constitution a Starter.
When count is taken it may be ex-
pected that the winning side of the
match for health and longevity will be
those who live carefully and in an or
derly fashion. Cornaro, Humboldt,
Cheverue, Won Moltl1e, Dr. Graham and
our old friend, DIR. Taylor, who recently
died over one hundred and sixty years
of age. are all practical examples of
living, according to the principles Of
hygiene, te1nperately and systematic

the same may be said, as it appears,
with some emphasis. Recently he has
spoken of his manner of life, and at

markable vigor of his mind at eighty

taken of himself. Never robust, he was,
nevertheless wiry in his earlier life,
and since he reached eighty his hygienio

lie knows that pneumonia is the most
formidable foe of old age, and he is de-
termined to keep it at distance if pos

takes his bath without having the water
accurately tested lie lives by rule,
and the rule is infieXible. His time is
scrupulously divided-so much allotted

meals are studies of prudence and di-

One might thinl. that it would be a
serious infection to keep up existence
by such precise, unvarying methods.
But the little doctor enjoys them, hav-
ing settled firmly into these habits
years ago. Philosophical as he is about
death, he has an eager curiosity to see
how low long he can live by following
the laws he has vigorously prescribed
for himself. He thinks sometimes that
he may attain 100, which he would
dearly like, if he could retain, as he has
retained thus far, the full possession of
all his faculties. No serious man of
broad views can regard the interest

FACTS FOR STUDENTS.


A Few Words of Advice to the Young
Men Entering College.
Students who are entering college
should reflect seriously upon the ques-
ton of wine drinking. They will often
be invited and expected to drink wine,
and they will occasionally sec their
elders drinking it at college festivals
They are likely to hear those who
drink speak disparagingly of those who
descriptions of banquets in which wine
is represented as figuring honorably.
For many other reasons it would be
well for students to come to a clear
understanding with themselves upon
the matter, and make up their minds
what is the proper thing for them to do
when they are asked to drink. No one
likes to be thought a millisop. But
even that can be borne,' and easily
borne, if the accused person knows he
is right and knows why he is right. Clear
and certain knowledge is wonderful
help at the moment of temptation,
though it is not always sufficient
To get light upon this subject it is
not necessary to go into n library and
pore over heap of books. a healthy
young man who drinks wine or any
such fluid need not be long in doubt
whether he has taken into his system
a friend or a foe. He cannot help
knowing, if he observes himself close
ly, that the wine is an enemy. He per-
ceives that it increases, not quenches,
thirst; that it raises his spirits for half
an hour or more, according to the
amount used, and dcpresses them for
several hours that follow; that it
flushes, eXcites, disturbs, pcrverts, and
therefore Injuries him. If he conscien-
tiously watches its effects, he kno'os
this, and all the sophistry of all the
sophists cannot disguise the fact from
him. He knows it as well as Sydney
Smith knew it when he wrote to Lady
Holland that, without abstaining from
wine, London was stupe faction and
inflammation"
Nothing has been more certainly
demonstrated than that tho use of al
coholic drinks by young persons in our
keen, exciting climate is a mistake,
and is to no class so injurious as to
students. To them, more than to any
other class, wine increases the difficulty
of every duty and adds alluring force
to every vice.
This is not preaching; it is simple
fact, and known to be such by all
honest investigators Students need
the best food that civilization can sup
ply and that food should be eaten in
the best manner known to civilized
life. But when it comes to intoXicat-
ing drinks, there is only one safe and
wise rule, which is expressed in one
word: 4 bstain Youths COMPANION.

BITS AND BREVITIES.

A ROYAL commission has been ordered
to investigate the effects of the liquor
traffic in Canada.
THE labor unions formed of workers
in glass impose heavy fines on all mem
bers who carry liquor into the manu-
factories, while the penalty for drunk
enness is dismission.
IN connection with the British Wom-
ems Temperance association there are
four homes for inebriate women,
through which upward of 355 patients
have passed, many of whom are thor
oughly reclaimed and most grateful
for the help received while resident
therein.
The society for the abolition of
strong drink in Holland certifies that in
a population of $500, 900 there are 35,-
600 licenses for the sale of liquor an
nually granted. Computing two-thirds
of the population to be women and
children, there is a saloon to every
thirtv-three men.
OUTSIDE all questions of home and of
morals, the physical harm being done
by beer is appalling. Even Germany
has been compelled to raise its voice
against it. Binz, who is an advocate
for alcohol as an economic factor in
sickness, expressed his profound con-
viction of the terrible evil it is inflict-
ing on the health of the nation.-Inde-
pendent.
The liquor habit must be regarded,
first of all, as vice, and not disease,
and treated accordingly. Some are led
into the drinking nabit, no doubt,
largely through the influence of an in
herited appetite, but, in the vast ma
jority of cases, men form the liquor
habit just as they form any other bad
habit-just as they learn to swear, to
gamble and to steal, because their evil
tendencies lead them that way. In
other words, most men get drunk be-
cause they want to get drunk. An at
tempt to cure intemperance in general
by the use of medicines would be very
much like trying to cure profanity in
the same way.-Christian at Work.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
TO NATURES FLUID.

o. fair is the virgin Lymph, fresh from the
iolntain
Sleeping in crystal wells,
Leaping in shady dels.
Or issuing clear from the womb of the noun
tain
5ky-m lted related earth's holiest daughter!
Not the hot kiss of wine
Is half so divine
As the sip of thy lip, inspiring cold water!
As chaste as the SHOWS on the sky-piercing
Alpine top
Now sparkling in dews,
Now nearing the hues
OF The rainbow, born of the ray and the rain
drop;
In health and in sickness all seasons, all
weather
Men may guam thee, and laugh, and be happy
together.
o see, low all nature claps hands and rcjoices !
What greenness and gladness,
For brownness and sadness
What music and mirth from infinite voices!
Herds lowing, cocks growing ten thousand
birds singing,
Sweet murmuring rillS,
And splashings OF mills,
And foGming cascades, gems and jewels up
tlinging;
The winds, all the leaves from their sick slum-
bers waking,
With whispers and Kisses
And breathings of blisses,
From the blooms all perfumes on the buxom
air shaking;
New beauty returning to grass, tree and flower,
So soon as the thirsty earth drinks in the
shower.
The great gift of God, and the joy of creation
AS needful as air.
Like it. everywhere,
AS essential, potential its blest operation
The innocent source of health and hilarity;
The friend af long life,
The foe OF al strife,
The pledge of good fellowship, friendship and
charity
Is water, pure water-it makes the heart
gadder
Than wine. the fierce baker,
The merciless mocker
That bites like serpent and stings like the
adder;
For deyil-born revcl and hollow brief laugh

Have gnashings Of teeth, and wailings here
after.
