WORDS or WISDOM.

Inspiration is the burning lamp OF
genius.
No man was ever great without divine
inspiration.
Envy is simply puuishing ourselves for
the sins of others.
The worst fatigue is that which comes
without exercise.
There is little influence where there IS
not great sympathy.
Inspiration developed the noblest fan
tastics of the ancients.
The great world is to all of US the
little circle in which we live.
There is no folly equal to that of
throwing away friendship, in world
where friendship is so rare.
1t is a bad thing for a clever and
ardent man not to have from the onset
some paramount object in life.
Whoveyg thoroughly accepts faith as
the inspirstron of his labors will be ready
to work for humanity as if the fortunes
of the world depended on personal en-
dsavors.

private deposit of $40 900 worth OF Phladel-
phia and Reading railroad income bonds.
Some people in the vicinity heard two
explosions about the time Of the occurrence,
but attached no alarming significance to
them, and the robbery was not discovered
until employees came to open the bank at
the usual hour that morning.
The robbers drilled the outer door OF the
vault, and with punch broke of the lock.
The middle door was secured with paddock,
and this was probably broken with sledge.
The inside vault contained one burglar-proof
combination-lock safe and also steel safe
with a time-lock. These were drilled and
charged, it is thought, with dynamite. The
doors of both safes were blown completely
off. wrecking them and leaving nothing but
a she'll of each. The conclusion shattered

shelving about the floor. =.

used by the cracksmen. Some tools, consist
ing of punches and chisels, with the sawed
of handle of a sledge, were left in the bank.
Entrance to the bank was effected by pry-
ing omen an outside window. Two suspicious
looking men were seen near the rear en-
trance of the bank that evening. 1t was
supposed that they were the robbers. There
is no other clue.

TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.


German military papers show that drunk
enness in the German army Is greatly IN
creasing. -
Sake drinking is one of the great curses OF
Japan. In 1879 the amount OF rice converted.
into sake amounted TO Is, 600, GOO bushels
A return has been published which shows
that the total number OF public houses IN
England and Wales licensed for the sale OF!
beer, or beer and wine, to be consumed on
the premises, is 50, 497.
A writer in the Fortnightly Review, an,
English traveller, says: 1.-THE very air OF!
Africa reeks with rum and gin, imported
from England; every hut is redolent OF its
fumes. Over large areas drink Is almost tho
sole currency and in many parts the years
wages of the Negro factory worker are paid
altogether in spirits" -
Chicago has q woman's baking company
that has been incorporated with capital
stock Of S25O,OO. The company is composed
Of Christian Temperance Union women, and
it is said they expectno only to run tne con-
Germ on strict business principles, but also to
useonly the purest materials and TO nave toe
work done entirely by women. .
"The hands OF man who works around
bar" continued the barkeeper, ARE another
source of trouble. Always in and out OF
water, the skin cracks open and the poison
of whisky and beer enters. Several men
have lost their arms from blood-poisoning
contracted in this way. Nothing has ever
been discovered to prevent this"
Cardinal Manning was quite abstemious
in his habits. When a guest at the most
splendid banquets he would dine Off potato,
a bit Of meat and q glass Of water. Wine
he never drank. He was greatly interested
in the temperance cause, and said spirits
did more to destroy the homes Of the poorer
classes than all else combined. "The Eng
lishman drinks from brutality, the irishman
from joviality, and it is much easier to re-.
form an Irish drunkard than an English, "
soid the Cardinal.

Berry, the British hangman Of world.
wide reputation, has resigned because he
was ordered by prison doctor to change
tho length Of the drop Berry maintained
that his long experience was worth more than
all the doctors theory, and would not obey
the order. When informed that he must
change the length Of the drop or resign he
promptly resigned. He says he will travel
in the United States and Great Britain, and
give lectures in all the large cities on
criminals and their last hours as he has OBJ
served them in his many years e1psrl-
ence.
With regard to his professional career
there are two points on which Berry espe-
cnlly prides himself. These are, the having
secured the abolition Of the steps that form
erly led to the scaffold, and which he claims
inflicted unnecessary sufferings upon crim-
inals and the addition OF spring to prevent
the rebounding of the flaps of the scaffold
Personally, Berry is strong opponent OF
capital punishment, and expresses the ho2s
that be may live to see it abolished.

best society. and being we'll
known man -about-town was extremely
popular Some time ago he began
paying attentions to Mrs. Herherington and
was so devoted that their intimacy became
the gossip of the town. Hetherington told
Robinson that he must refrain from seeing
Mrs. Hetherington, and that he had better
leave town. Robinson promised to obey
ani went away. In two weeks he returned
