forts of fhis,.threephysici to resuscitate him

PHYSICIANS AND TEMPERANCE.

Cpon no one does responsibility for tha
continuance Of the widely prsvelant, injur-
ious social drinking usages rest more heavily
than upon the members Of the medical pro
fesson. Medicine, in the true sense, is pre-
ventive as we'll Us remedial. Among the
agencies productive of disease, physical and
moral, intoxicating liquors are pre-eminent
The attitude which physicians as class as
sumo toward the use of intoxicating bever-
ages personally and professionally, therefore
involves very largely for good or Ill, the In
terests of the temperance reform.
There have been from the beginning, since
the time of DR.. Benjamin Rush. and ere now,
a few eminent American physicians who
have done much to encourage, by both e1-
ample and precapt, the cause OF temperance;
But they have been and continue to be a small
minority Of the profession as whole. A
very large majority Of physicians upon
social and festive occasions, at their ban-
ouets. etc., do not hesitate to provide freely
and to pnrtaks of intoIicants. Tho lnterna-
tional Medical Congress, held last year In
Berlin, appears to have been a striking anu

there followed each other in swift succession
the deaths Of ex-Secretary Stuart, Of tho In

ALCOHOL AS A BEVERAGE.

1t will be shivering surprise to the aver
lge reader to know that Of late alcohol, pure
and simple. has become a beverage in
America, especially in the West North
vest and in the coal regions of Pennsylvania.
Even in New York City the census returns
estimate fifteen barrels day as the allow
ance for drinking purposes.
It is an innovation as startling as that OF
she opium habit when it came In. As the
opium habit came through the Chinese, 80
The alcohol habit has come through the
Poles, Norwegians, Swedes, Firms, Hum
yarians and Russians.
The eagerness with which any such evil
pr actice becomes "all the rage among
drinking people may be seen from the I tact ct
that although recently introduced and at
irst INDUCED in quickly, alcohol is now sold
over the bar in the loner-grade bar;rooms:
One-half of the liquor sold for drinking
purposes in the Northwest is alcohol. This is

ONE CITY's EXPERIENCE.

Plainfeld, N. j., a city Of about 12,0
population, had year without any licensed
saloons, which resulted in the reformation Of
many drinking men. One mission alone
gathered in more than hundred Of them,
and they were regarded as safe, until the sa-
looms were allowed to reopen. Now nine
tenths Of them, it is said, have succumbed to
temptation, and gone back to heir drinking
habits. The privileges of the saloons are be-
irg enlarged and new ones are to be licensed.
The policy of the City Council seems to be to
interests. When it proposes to extend the
time of closing the saloons from eleven
o'clock till twelve OF night, it is at the same
time planningto restrict the privileges Of
hackmen and increase their license fee.
Plainfeld is an eminently Christian city. and
has the power to prevent it, and yet 1t al
lows the saloon to dominate. Toe rssponsi-
bility lies with Christian men.-The Inde.

probably operate for % or 80 years on

Last season it cut over $4,000, 900 feet
of lumber, and has torn out all its
machinery and put in new, with the
intention of Gu ting $1,000, 900 feet the

are 8 or 10 large match factories con-
trolled by the Diamond Match Com

with stock from Ontonagon. The COM

dicating that the day was waning,
when the Spaniards left their boats.
Their pilot had kept them employed for
nearly six hours from the time Of their
Arst meeting, and having taken them
in an opposite direction they were now
many miles distant from their expected
prey.
Jose led the way, closely followed by
the captain and his soldiers.
Presently The ruined walls Of an old
sugarmill came In sight
SIS this the place?'' asked the Span
lard, in a whisper.
Isl, 81, senor!' was the response.
Then the order was given to noise
lessly surround the building.
Jose, however, was not left alone, but
was forced forward between two of the
soldiers.
When within some fifteen feet of the
structure the command to charger
was issued, and with rush the regu-
hers advanced, but were surprised at
meeting with no opposition. Within,
the old mill was empty and silent as
death!
tWhat means this?' was the cry of
the Spanish officer as he confronted
Jose. There is naught here save our
