The Seeds OF Death,

Lady Henry Somerset has told how
she was first drawn into temperance
work. She had seen two children, a
boy and girl, sip wine at their fathers
table, and heard the guests laugh at
the precocious little ones. She had
seen the boy go to drunkard's grave
when twenty-tour years old. But
what became of the girl?" she went on.
THE girl was happily married, and be-
came the mother of lovely children.
The fatal seed had been sown, however.
The young mother became a slave to
strong drink. prayed with her and
wept with her. She asked me one day
if would be total abstainer if she
renowned strong drink forever The
proposition was a strange one, and |
asked twenty-four hours for considera-
ton. When saw her again she said
it was too late. | felt that if | had
given her promptly the answer she
should have received, she might have
been saved. To-day her home is shat

Liuuor ON shipboard.

The consumption of iutoxicants on
board of the large ocean steamers ply
ing between this city and European
ports reaches large aggregate. Tho
record of the stewards department OF
the Cunard fleet for year gives the fol-
lowing figures of the quantities Of
wines and liquors used: $3.50 quarts
and 1913 pints of champagne, 1891
quarts and 1910 piuts of ciaret, 5000
quarts of other wines, 4S9,S44 pints OF
ale and porter, 174,921 quarts of min
eral waters, and "a, 400 quarts of spirit
uous liquors" Of this enormous liq-
uor consumption on shipboard, it is I'M
doubtedly true that by far the larger
portion is by European voyagers, but
it is also true that many Americans, a
great many too many, drink full
share of these wines and liquors. A to-

The Champion Pugilist OF the Age
"Knooked Out" by Drink.
The utter and humiliating downfall
of John L. Sullivan, long considered
the champion pugilist of the world, is
probably the most powerful object
lesson which could be given to null
tltude of young men on the value of
temperance and the ruinous effects of
debauchecy. No moralist could have
done as much in years as Corbett, the
new champion, did in less than two
hours to drive home upon the youth of
America the truth that sobriety and
right living are the only hope of the
greatest success in any field of effort
When Sullivan. crying with the chagrin
and pain of defeat, declared that booze"
had been the cause of his ruin, he gave
what nine out of every ten men who
pay any attention to prize fighting will
agree is the true explanation of the
sudden and complete collapse of a man
long believed to be peerless as a pugil-
list. The ey-champion for years defied
the laws of health and prudence by in
dnlging in many protracted debauches.
His appetites and passions have been
recklessly INDUCED, and now, by his
own testimony, he is old before his
time, ana a fallen master of the only
vocation in which he ever attained
prominence.
Most authorities upon pugilism will
always maintain that Sullivan at his
best was the superior as a fighter OF
ths man who easily defeated him, and

WHAT CAN WOMEN DO7

Her Noblest Mission Is to Act rs Re-
former In society.
Now that woman has come. what
good can she do? Much, if she comes
to improve the quality of society. The
dition of goodness. The stream Of
society does not need greater volume,
but greater purity. 1t will not bless the
world, therefore, if woman comes imi-
tating that masculine factor which long
has been here. If she smokes tobacco it
will be difficult to prove that two
smokers are better than one.
If she comes to drinking wine, or
playing games for money, that will be
asking us to believe that two drunkards
or two gamblers are better than one.
If woman is drawing nearer the liberty
of man, she must not betray the fact
by initiating his vices, The masculine
mind is very much of ruin. Woman

portunity, but not the use he has made
of those. The number of noble men is
increasing. But upon men as a mass

and unless woman comes as a reformer
we need not welcome her.
So far as ones mothers and sisters are
attempting to promote temperance,
they are acting ideal parts. We self.
constituted men may look upon this
womanly contingent as made up of raw
troops. But it has often happened in
history that new soldiers have made up
in patriotism what they wanted in tao
tics. 1t seems, therefore. as woman is

IT SHORTENS LIFE.
Popular Fallacy Concerning the Use of
Alcoholic DRINKS.

\ Popular Fallacy Concerning the Use of
Alcoholic Drinks.
There are thousands of intelligent
men who believe that Intoxicating
liquors give the drinker strength and
endurance. The truth is exactly the
opposite. The man who does not drink
can bear up longer under fatigue, can
stand exposure better, can put forth
longer continued effort. than he who
is an habitual drinker Equally false is
the belief that liquor enables IA man to
endure exposure to severe cold. This
mas been amply proved in the expert
ence of exploring expeditions into the
frozen north. Sober men invariably
stand severe cold better than drinking
men The fallacy that drink gives
bodily strength is disproved by the eX-
pericnce of military men. Soldiers
who are temperate make long marches
better, with less fatigue, than do those
who drink; they enjoy higher degree
of health, bear the exposure of camp
and march better, and are far less liza
BILE to yield to sickness
Notwithstanding these facts, there
ore, as we have stated above, very
many who believe the reverse. There
is a reason for this error. 1t is found
in the exhilaration which follows as
the first effect of imbibing liquor. The
alcoholic poison acts as an excitant of
the entire system, and gives "a fcti-
tious strength; but this is as surely fol-
lowed by a period of depression, I'M
known to the non-drin1ing man. Those
who recall only the period of excite
ment naturally fall into the error of
supposing that tie pleasurable sensa-
tons are sign of added strength given
by the liquor, instead of merely an un-
natural and unhealthy phenomenon.
This effect Of any Intoxicating bev-
| erage is due to the alcohol it contains.
Alcohol is poison, pure and simple;
and its poisonous effects are directly
proportional to the amount taken into
| the system, and the frequency of the
dose. Its habitual use Injuries every
vital organ. 1t sets up chronic and
obstinate Inflammation of the stomach;
its evil effects upon the liver frequently
result in an incurable disease, common
| ly known as 'hob-nail liver" or whisky
| liver;" it is one of the most common
causes of incurable kidney troubles; it
Injuries the brain and nervous system,
deranges the circulation, destroys diges-
ton and interfercs withthe functions Of
assimilation and tissue change. Hence
it is clear that it must have malign
influence upon the duration OF human
life, which naturally depends upon the
bodily health. II the latter is injured,
it follows that life must be shortened.
| That this is correct, is amply proved
by the following table, taken from the
report of the Investigations of Mr.. Mel
son, the actuary of the Medical Invalid
and General Life Insurance Company
of London, and given by DR.. Jarvis, in
the tvventy-thrd registration report OF
| Massachusetts. Given 10000 persons

her of each. at the ages given:

This table tells its own story. From
the start, the incorporate drop into the
grave faster than the temperate; and
the increased death rate is something
terrible to contemplate. Half the
original number of Incorporate men
are dead at 30, while half of the num-
Der of temperate do not pass away
until about So; and over thirteen times
as many temperance men are still in
the land of the living at 80 years of age
as there are of the Incorporate ones.
Sobriety leads to length of life, while
the drunkards do not live out half their
days, on the average.
1t in facts of this nature which need
to be brought to the attention of people
everywhere. There is, even yet, after
at least half century of temperance
effort in the United States, a vast deal
of error existing in the popular mind
as 10 the real nature and the effects of
liquor upon the physical system. A
knowledge of the true state of the case
can but result in vast accession to
temperance sentiment The lines of
effort have, perhaps been kept too
closely upon moral and religious
grounds, and the physical effects of
rum not had the attention given them
which should have been done. When
the masses of the American people I'M
derstand fully the case against all
forms Of alcoholic drinks, it will not
need political effort to stop the traffic,
overthrow the saloon, and to pulverize
the rum power.-Toledo Blade.

TRIED SUICIDE,


A Noted French Author Fires Five BLANK
tartridges at His Head and Cuts hi,
Neck
PARIS, January 4.-Henri Rene Al
bert Guy de Maupassant, the well known
French author, VINO is seeking at Cannes
to recover from the nervous disorders
from which he is suffering and which
are due to overwOrk, attempted to COM
nit suicide last night.
He got possession OF revolver and
fired six shots at his head. Fortunate
~ the members OF his family had sus-
pioion that he intended to kill himself
and in order to Illustrate his design,
they had removed the bullets from the
cartridges with which the revolver was
loaded.
After M. de Mauppasant found that he
could not destroy himself with the re-
yolver, he took o razor and cut cash
in his throat. but this attempt, too,
failed, and the injury he inflicted on
himself was not serious. 1t was an
nounced at the beginning OF December
that III. de Maupassant was suffering
from disease of the nervous system,
and that he had been ordered by his
physicians to take complete rest.
Rumors were circulated that he had
become insane, but these reports were
strenuously denied, it being added they
were due to jealousy of unsuccessful
rivals In the field OF literature. M. de
Maupassant, it was admitted, was some
what broken down, and was suffering
from nervous exhaustion, but his
friends claimed there was DO reason to
believe that his brain power was in any
way impaired.
