was quickly reflected in purchases for the long
account and material advances. The interest
in the coal stocks. however. soon overshadowed
the rest OF the market, and heavy advances in

TEMPERANCE NOTES.

A YOUNG Norwegian in Minncsota
fell heir to baronetcy and fortune in
Norway, and the good news so elated
him that he proceeded to get drunk
and was frozen to death in a barn.
The ancient Gauls, who were a very
brave, strong and hardy race, lived
very abstemiously. Their food was
milk, berries and herbs. They made
bread from nuts. They had very ne.
culiar fashion of wearing a metal ring
around the body, the size of which
was regulated by act of parliament.
Any man who outgrew in circur,fer.
ence his metal ring was looked upon as
lazy glutton, and consequently was
disgraced.-Good Health.
A wH1TE-RIBBoNER tells an incident
illustrative of the power of our badge.
Taking dinner at home where she
had never been before, and where she
did not suppose her principles were
known. the girl in waiting on the
table silently offered her water ONLY.

CARDINAL MANNING was quite alb
stemious in his habits When guest
at the most splendid banquets he
would dine off potato, bit of meat
and glass of water. Wine he never
drank. He was greatly interested in
the temperance cause, and said spirits
did more to destroy homes of the poor
er classes than all else combined.
THE Euglishman drinks from brutal
ity, the 1rishman from joviality, and it
is much easier to reform an Irish
drunkard than an English" said tho
