NOTES BY The WAY.

BELGIUM is the paradise of saloon
keepers. Although the enactment OF
q license law two years ago compelled
about twenty-five thousand keepers to
close their saloons, yet about one hum
dred and sixty thousand remain, or one
for every forty souls in the population.
THE committee of the British Med
ical association on legislation for the
inebriate has reported in favor of en-
downing proper authorities with power
TO compel inebriates to be placed in re-
treats where they will be treated by
physicians employing the most ap
proved methods.
BEFORE the British began TO rule in
Burmah there was practically no use of
intoxicants. Since their advent what a

THERE is one thing vastly more inn

ting against the lNuor traffic, and by
each persons own abstinence. If we
could have emphatic testimony against
the drinking habit, it is the welcome
that is given by thousands to the news
that drug has been discovered that
will deliver them from the curse of
rum. One need not GO any farther
than this fact for pretty cogent tenn
perance lecture.
The cause of prohibition is making
great Roadway in Sweden. Already
many parishes or communities enjoy
absolute prohibition. Total absti-
nence societies are numerous and
strong. Clergymen take an active in

look for prohibition is encouraging
At a recent parliamentary election.
six candidates of the prohibition party
were elected. The cause of temper

1t makes the heart sick to think of
the misery and degradation to which
the demon drink subjects those who
have given themselves up to him. The
Philadelphia Methodist vouches for the
truth of this incident:

cents for my spring hat? Most all the

The above request was persuasively
made by sixteen-year-old maiden as
she was preparing for school one fine
spring morning. The refusal came
from the parent in curt, Indifferent
tone The disappointed girl went to
school The father started for his
place of business. On his way thither
he met a friend, and, being hail-fellow-
well-met. invited him into saloon for
drink. AS usual, there were others

hat, treated the crowd. When about
to leave, he laid a half-dollar on the
counter which just paid for the drinks.
just then the saloonkeeper's daugh h.
ter entered and on going behind the
bar said:
Papa, I want fifty cents for my
spring hat"
IAN right" says the dealer and
taking up the half-dollar from the
counter, handed it over to the girl
who departed, smiling.
Mays father seemed dazed, walked
out alone and said to himself: II had
to bring my fifty cents here for the
rumseller's daughter to buy a hat
with, after refusing it to my own
daughter I'll never drink another
drop" And he kept his pledge.
