"wINE is A MocKER.n

Thedrink habit is often quickly and easily
formed. How insidiously it grows upon
men. 1t steals in upon men as slyly as the
fox, and when it gets man in its full power
how it tosses him about like a strong lion.
We once read of a young rabbit that slipped
into a garden of cabbages. The garden was
inclosed with wire fence. The young rab-
bit had good and jolly time in that garden
as he feasted daily on the luscious cabbage
He had heard of the danger OF traps and wire
fences, but he did not seem to see any imme-
diate danger around him, so he concluded to
remain oil summer in that delightful place.
The more he ate of the cabbages the larger
he grew. Hen dreamed that he might
grow too large to get out through the hole he
he came in at But that was just precisely
the danger that was soon to overtake him.
He fattened daily upon the delicious food.
He soon became as large as grown rabbit
but the only hole of escape didn't grow bit
larger. One day he heard the foot fall of a
man coming into his garden, and he con-
cluded no would slip out and disappear in
the bushy swamp. So he ran to the hole he
came in at, and To- and behold, his body had
grown entirely too large to squeeze out
through it, Now what2 All, he is so sur
rounded by the wire net as to fall an easy
prey to the owner of the garden. He was
caught and killed.
The application to the dram drlnker is
easy. Every dram he drinks is putting up
the wire fence of the confirmed habit OF
drunkenness. His appetite is growing insen
sibly. Like the rabbit. he has jolly time
for awhile ami sees no signs of danger. After
a while something occurs which alarms hin
about his safety. He resolves to get out OF
his wire fence Of dram drinking, but 10! he
finds that hisliquor appetite has grown from
a babe to giant, holding him firmly in th'
grasp. This simple parable tells the story o

Enlcary Of Mutton TallOw.

Pure mutton tallow is one of the
most useful and inexpensive Of
medical agerts. For that class
of sores and wounds where a
cooling, healing application is indicated,
ITS value is beyond compare. Many an
obstinate sore or ulcer has been healed
permanently pursuing the following
simple method: Wash thoroughly, but
gently, once or twice day, with warm
water and CASTLE soap, dry with soft
cloth, and cover with coating or tai
low. This should be spread upon a
piece of linen or cotton, the tallow being
sufficiently thick to prevent the cloth
backing from adhering to the wounded
or diseased surface. The importance
OF the utmost cleanliness in dealing with
all troubles of this nature should by no
means be overlooked.-NeW Orleans Plea

RorH A sIN AND A n1srAsr

Drunkenness is both sin and a disease.
1t is a sin, to commence with, and after hav-
ing passed through its first stages and fas-
tened itself securely upon its victim, it be-
comes both sin and disease. Alcohol is
a distinct and certain poison, SO declared by
many leading physicians and scientists.
When taken into the system regularly as
beverage it in numberless cases results in
drunkenness. Drunkenness comes from
drinking, and the drunkard always COM
meuces as moderate drinker Drunkenness
is to bc treated both as sin and as disease.
The grace of God can save any drunkard
from his sin, even to the ''uttermost," and
multitudes have thus been saved. Medical
treatment has done much to save drunk
ards, and every effort in that direction
should be joyfully hailed by every true
friend of temperance, and due credit given
for all good accomplished At the same
time all moral and social means possible
should be put forward for the salvation of
the inebriate. Temperance Ad-
rocdte.

TEMPERANCE.



Alone in his bar-room counting his gold.
A drink-dealer sat hard-hearted and bold,
His days work was done, still he fingered
late,
When a goblin came like thing Of fate;
Dark demon of bygone days was he.
With a soul as black as the midnight sea.
And these were the words from his lips that
fell,
~ gather them in to drunkard's hell, +" etc.
II gather them in, both men and boys,
While year after year my work destroys
Mems bodies and souls the world around,
Bright homes where joys and love abound.
Fair daughters and mothers, father and son,
Their idols shatter them one by one.
License to kill; IL is known full well
l gather them in TO a drunkard's hell.
Husbands are dying with shrieks and
While wives are praying with pleading
tones,
Dear children are begging bread out in the
cold,
Still as King rule, and my sceptre hold.
NV victims are many, hell claims them all:
They come from novels, from palace and
hall.
BY night and day my records toll,
Igather them in to drunkards hell.
~ gather them in where they find no peace,
While the pangs of the deathless soul In
crease
The goblin paused, when mighty train
OF sin-wrecked ghouls all racked with pain,
With ghastly groans came forth and told,
While gnashing their teeth, how the dealer
Led them on through drink their souls to

And gathered them in to a drunkard's hell.

He BOssed a King.

Captain Lee, who died sud denly at the
Hoffman House in Philadelphia the other
day, was one of the most intrepid Of
men. He once ordered the King and
cabinet of Corea off their own parade
ground because they tried 10 dictate to
him concerning the handling of the
native troops. Captain Lee was en-
ployed by the Corean Government as
military instructor of the army four years
ago, and he knew his business in every
phase. With two other American
officers, who were employed with him in
similar capacities, he had charge of the
army and gave it thorough instruction,
elevating it beyond the standard of even
the japanese troops, the best drilled in
the East.
Lee and his fellow officers didn't get
along together very well. The troops
liked him exceedingly, but on the day
he ordered the King and cabinet off the
parade grounds because they got in the
way there came near being n revolt
among them. Lee was inexorable, If
polite, and the King and the cabinet
left without a word of protest. They
always respected Lee for his action and
treated him with great courtesy after

Curious Effects Of an Earthquake

The recent earthquake in central and
northern California occasioned phenome-
nal results in Sonoma County. On the
Polpula Rancho of ]. E. Poppo the
ground was cracked and scanned in va
rious places. From these narrow OPEN
ings in the earth largo quantities of
water of various temperatures have been
gushing forth ever since. In some places
the water is Ice cold, while in others it
is warm, reaching temperature of 100
degrees. The Polpula Rancho has always
been noted for its many springs, but the
recent earthquake has opened up many
new ones, some hot and some cold, and
caused the old ones to gush forth ten
times the amount of their previous flow.
In town the flow of General Vallejo's
artesian well has been increased about
! 100; 600 gallons per twenty four hours.
, On the Rhine farm of Jacob Grundlach
/ is ar artesiau well which has always
given but meager supply of water. 1t
was Grundlach intention to resume
! boring operations on this next week, but
| the shake has caused the well to send
forth large supply of artesian water,
and the idea of having it sunk deeper
has been abandoned On Captain Joye's
farm, a short distance from the town, the
flow of gas from his natural gas-well has
been increased to a great extent, and a
spring that has hitherto been cold has
been converted into basin of hot water.

He Tells 1t by Their Heels.

A shoemaker says, rs soon rs man
comes into my shop and takes off his
shoes can tell whether or not he is
good walker, and it is astonishing to
find how few men know the proper way
to step out. II the shoe is worn down
at the heel, not on the side, but straight
back, and leather Of the sole shows signs
OF weakness at the ball of the foot, a
little greater on the inside just below
the base of the great toe, l know that
the wearer is good walker.
If, however, the heel is turned on one
side, or is worn evenly throughout and
the sole is worn most near the toe, |
know that l have to deal with poor
pedestrian. The reason of the difference
in position of the worn spots lies in the
the fact that the poor walker walks
from his knees and the good one from
his hip.
Watch the passers-by on the street
and you will at once see the difference.
Nine men out of ten will bend the knee
very considerably in walking, stepping
straight out with both hips on the .Ae
line, and the toe will be the 7frst to
strike the ground. The tenth man will
bend his knee very little, just enough to
clear the ground, and will swing the leg
from the bip, very much as the arm is
swung from the shoulder and not from
the elbow.
By so doing he calls upon the muscles
that are strongest to bear the strain, and
increases the length of his stride four to
six inches. The heel touches the ground
first aud not the toe. A single spring il
given from the ball of the loot on max,
ing another stride.
Men that walk in this fashion covel
the ground thirty per cent. faster will
the same exertion / Pan those that walk
from the knee. In pugilism the old rule
| is 10 strike from the shoulder and no
from the elbow. In pedestrianism it il
to walk from the hip and not from thu
knee.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

THE LIQUOR HARrr A VICE.

TIE Christian at Work, commenting upon
the question, "Is Drunkenness CurableY' as
recently discussed in the North american
Reuieir, says:
"rhe liquor habit must be regarded, first
of all, as vice, and not a disease, and
treated accordingly. Some are led into the
drinking habit, no doubt largely through
the influence of an inherited appetite but, in
the vast majority 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, Iu other words, most
men get drunk because they want to get
drunk. An attempt to cure intemperance
in general by the use of medicines would be
very mnch like trying to cure profanity in
the same way"

BEER DRINKING AND HEART DISEASE.

1t is said that disease of the heart is very
prevalent in Munich, where the consumption
Of beer amounts, on the average, to 565 litres
per head annually; and in the same place the
duration of life among the brewing trade is
shorter than that OF the general population.
Whereas the average age attained among
the latter is 53.5 years, that of alehouse keep.
ers is 3l.35 years and of brewers 42.33 years.
The same note adds that for the whole of
Germany the annual consumption OF beer
per head amounts to IS litres, but ror Ba-
varia it is 2O9 litres.-London Lancet,
