spending increase of those crimes
which result from II. A very large
proportion of the cases brought before
our criminal courts may be traced to
the use Of liquor in some form. Our
iails and penitentiaries are filled with
men, many of whom were crazed by
drink when they committed the crimes
for which they are imprisoned. Our
newspapers make daily records of as
saults and melees, of rioting and kill
ing occasioned by tho use of liquor.
No one can have an adequate concep-
ton of the poverty, misery md wretch
edness brought upon countless homes
all over our land by this foolish and
wicked drink habit.
Must this evil 60 on? Go on without
abatement, even increasing? Shall We
conclude that ''high license" is q fail
ure and prohibition ineffective, and
that we may as well allow the saloon
to have full sway? No, the battle for
prohibition must not be given up. The
work for reform must be pushed. Tho
vantage ground must be held. The
liquor evil, like all other evils, must
have its Appomattox.
But it should he remembered that the
only really complete and effective rem
edy for the removal of this great evil
is the Gospel of Christ. "For the grace
of God that bringcth salvation hath ap-
peared to al men, teaching US that,
denying ungodly and woldly lusts, we
should live soberly, righteous,y and
god]y in this present world"
Any attempt to change the habits of
men or reform the drunkard while his
nature is left unchanged by the grace
Of God, will result in failure. AS the
late DR.. Cumming once said: "You

All thorough and complete reforma.
ton of the man must begin at the
heart. To rightly reform the drunk
ard, you must convert him. The Cos
pei of Christ is the only element that
will transform society. It is 1.-The little
leaven that leaveneth the whole

Intoxicating drinks, nor patronize the
saloon, neither do they lie. or cheat, or

s'Old SIS" Rheumatic Remedy HAD Double
Back Action Results.
''Old 81, whom all tho habitues of
Park row have known for years, hobbled
down TO work the other night In . state
of physical pain. Rheumatism, his old
foe, had settled in his feet, made walk
ing . misery and life bore. While he
was putting on tho largest and most
comfortable pair of shoes in the place a
customers attention was attracted bv
his groana
whats the matter, SIP" he inquired,
alphabetically.
''Rheumatism," growled 81, as he
crowded a badly swelled foot into a
roonay brogan.
Try borax and garlic, old man; it's
tho best remedy in the world. I've tried
it many time and never failed to
get relief sooner or later-generally
sooner
81 said he would try it, but the next
man who came into the store told him
that there was nothing so eficacious for
inf1ammatory rheumatism as porous
plasters when applied to the affected
part. Borax and garlic he ridiculed a.
barbaric remedy.
"Borax," he declared, will shrivel
your feet up so much that you will not
be able to recognize them, and as for
garlic, why the least said about that the
better"
81 was suffering and was anxious to
try anything and everything that prom
Used to lessen his agony. He decided on
the spur of the moment to buy porous
plasters, and he did so.
That night after reaching home he
cut one up, shaped tho pieces to his feet
and placed them inside his shoes The
next morning he drew on his footwear
and wore them down to his business in
the evening. Trade was brisk, and 81
was kept moving pretty lively in re-
Spouse to many calls at the counter and
raps on the tables.
All night long he wore the shoes, a.
he was determined to give the plasters
. good chance to get in their work.
They got it. That night 81 was COM
PEELED to go to bed with his shoes on,
simply because he could not get them
off. Shoes, stockings and feet had be-
come as one, and they stuck closer than
q brother.
When he arose in the morning the
situation was unchanged and 81 became
desperate. The porous plasters was
still there and so was his rheumatism.
Neither had budged an inch. In de-
spair he held family consultation.
The outcome was that 81 was recon-
mended to soak his feet in hot water
until tho plasters relaxed their grip
Into tub of water 81 plunged his feet
and seated himself on a chair. For
hours he waited for them to thaw, but
the plasters held on with death-like t.
aacity. But at the close of the fourth
hour they showed signs of yielding, and
81, ably aided by his family, began to
tug at his shoes. Little by little they
gained on the plasters until finally the
shoes were torn off, but with them
came large sections of cuticle from the
soles of poor Sis feet For many days
afterward 81 walked around much
after the manner of a hen on a hot
plate.

tiers has not yet lost his scalp, but 81 in

with Filthy water" The factory
where this butter had been made
had been run as a cheese fac
tory for about twenty years, and
latterly separator had been put in
and cheese and butter both manufac-
tured. A driven well supplied the
water of the factory. This we'll was
about twenty feet deep, and with an
eye to avoid the drainage of the build
ing was driven on the upper side. How
futile that scheme was the accompany
ing illustration will show. The barn
yard on the elevation few rods dis
tant to the right did not have tenden-
cy to help the matter any.
It is to be regretted that the water
was never chemically analysed, but as
butter making was stopped Immediate
~ when the product became unstable
and the water was no more used the
state expert who afterward visited the
factory did not see fit to take a sample
for analysis. The poisoned condition
of the we'll was generally conceded and
a superficial examination of the water
after it had stood for length of time
would convince any one of its contami-
nation. The water when freshly
pumped was cold and sparkling, al
though slightly tinged in color. 1t
gave off no offensive smell and the
faint foreign odor would be easily mis-
toll <ho ~
stance. 1t was in this stage that it was
used for washing the buttermilk from
granulated butter, and the insidious
bacteria are sown that afterwards
ruined the product. Now, we do not
relate this true instance because we
suppose that all creameries obtain their
water supply of wells, and that the
water used is charged with deleterious
substances, but to show what an insid-
ious evil impure water is, and what
damage it is capable of doing to the
art of good butter-making. The best
water for use in a creamery is that OBJ
tanned from spring source, and to
convey it to the building an iron pipe
is preferable to one of lead, or a wood
en- pump log. If water is prone to be
roily or is filed with sediment, you can
readily cleanse it by putting up small
filter in the factory, but ordinary fl.
tering will not eradicate the poison
from constitutionally filthy water. If
your water facilities are poor, as they
are apt to be in many sections of the
country, and the water comes to the
factory warm, you should use ice to
lower its temperature before employ
ing it to wash butter. We consider it
one of the most mistaken ideas of econ
omy in the world to have we'll under
a cheese factory or a creamery. Even
if the we'll is so deep as to preclude the
idea of subsoil teaching, putrid drain-
age may find its way through the sur
face soil to the well pipe and follow the
tube to the bottom. Or, it may reach
the water vein which supplies the we'll
in a comparatively shallow location,
and thus directly transmit the poison

an average price of cent per pound
cost $lo9.5o. She probably ate no moro
forage than an ordinary COW, but we
call that worth $50. The skim milk is
not taken into account, but that would
pay for her fodder and her manure
would pay for caring for her. Her calf
if sold would buy small farm. Some

pay for, but they do not. There is q

Child Suicides In Germ.nv.

A startling discovery has been made
by the careful statisticians of Germany.
The figures which they have gathered
show an alarming increase of suicides
among children. For the six years end
ing in 1888 no less than two hundred and
eighty-nine German school children
committed suicide. These suicides were
much more common in the elementary
than in the high schools. The principal
causes are said to be fear of punishment
and disappointment over examinations.

Treed the Minister.

One sunny Sabbath morning the late
Rev. Samuel Hamilton found himself
preaching to an attentive congregation
in Kentucky town. It SO happened
that a tipsy man strayed like black
sheep into the fold; but no one object
ed and things ran smoothly enough.
Presently small dog entered at the
open door and trotted down the aisle
until it reached the front of the pulpit,
when it set up furious barking at the
minister. The tipsy man, with the ut
most gravity, arose and walked steadi-
~ down the aisle to where the dog was
barking. Selling the animal by the
neck, he held him up before the congre-

Drunkenness is the greatest evil Of
this nation, and it takes no logical
process to prove that q drunken nation
cannot long be q free nation. I call

it is not at standstill, but that it is
on an onward march, and it is a double
quick. There is more rum swallowed
In this country and of q worse kind
than was ever swallowed since the first

ST. LOUIS vs.. IWILEL.

The Amateur Base Ball Associa
ton" is certainly we'll named. for il
ever an amateur game was played il
was on Saturday by the St. Louis
and the Iwileis. The game from
beginning to end was mass OF
errors, and there was only one earned
run in the whole twenty two runs
scored.
Neither club got any runs in the
first innings, but in the second Kipa
made base hit to right, and came
home on wild throws and a passed
ball by G. Long.
The st. Louis half of the second
was opened by a base hit to right by
Lewis, after which hits by Long,
kaouli and Comes, and three bag
ger by r. Lane, assisted by errors
by the Iwileis, scored six runs for the
lucky st. Louis. After this innings
the Iwileis picked up a little until
the seventh. when they allowed the
st. Louis to make six runs, which
virtually won the game. The Iwileis
made quite struggle to catch up in
the ninth, but could only get three
runs, and the game went to the St.
Louis with a score of IA to S. The
game was not largely attended. The

Exhibition at Kawaiahao

The stereopticon exhibition given
by Ben Hogan at Kawaiahao church
Saturday night drew out q big audi
ence, and very appreciative one.
All the good seats were filled up
stairs and down and a great many
stood. About two hundred views
were shown. An entertainment of
this kind is precisely suited to the
Hawaiisns, and a goodly number of
the views were saluted with enthu-
siastic cheers. The comic pictures
elected especially warm appreciation.
Mr.. Hogan's explanatory remarks
were translated by W. r. Castle.
After the main exhibition was over
Mr.. Hogan announced that he would
go on as long as the supply of gas
lasted. Everyone stayed, and large
number of Hawaiian views were
shown. Many of these were indis-
tinct, but some came out very clearly.
The audience were highly edited by
the Hawaiian views, a well-known
portrait of a Hawaiian girl in par
ticular being greeted with a storm
of applause. As each picture was
flashed on the screen voices from all
parts of tie honse called out the
name of the familiar locality.

monthly meeting held on Thursday
evening. Yice-President c.. L. Carter
presided. The recording secretary, the
treasurer and ehairmen of various stand

that the third Monday in each month
be devoted to series of practical talks.
His Excellency Jno. L. Stevens, United

Thirteen new members were added to
the roll. A collection of 81 go was taken
up, and then the meeting adjourned.
