GENERAL GlEANlNGS.

THERE were one hundred and fifty
seven women patients undergoing
treatment at the Kelley institute in
Dwight, ILL.,, the other week. At the
present increase of the number of
women patients there will soon be as
many women as men.
SAYS a recent African traveller,
Mature has already proclaimed in
words whose letters are formed by
white mems graves that no drunkard
and no moderate tippler shall prolong
his days in tropical Africa"
THERE are hundreds of instances in
which people have found a drunkard's
doom by tasting alcohol in their food
after they had reformed. The tasto
for intoxicants turks in some persons
system as fierce fire, to be let loose
with an uncomfortable fury by even
the smell of liquor.
ZONE thing that might be done in
Europe in view of the short rye crop
there is to make it all into bread In
stead of whisky. But it will not be
done. Many people will starve in Rus
sia and elsewhere that distillers may
be enabled to continue their work.
The Voice.
SOME whisky recently seized in a
kitchen barroom in Boston, when
some of it was rubbed as a liniment on
one of the feet of a patrol-wagon horse,
-hnrned4 off the. hair near the hoof.
Some more of the same stock of whis-
ky was accidentally spilled on the
desk in the police station, and 1t ate
of the varnish.
OUT of seventy thousand British
troops in India eighteen thousand ara
teetotalers. ir,FredericlsRo him
self says: Fore five hundred tee
totalers enrolled the strength of the
British army is practically increased

tiles in India make an annual grant ot
eight thousand rupees for temperance
work, and give the use of room in
every corps for meetings, as well as al
lowing refreshment bars to be opened,
the profits of which go to temperance
work. SO that the men are encouraged
in every way to remain true to their
pledge.
The connection between strong
drink and poverty may be seen In re-
cent statement as to the condition OF
the people of Ireland Saloons are far
the most numerous in the poverty
stricken sections of that unhappy coun-
try. During the past year the amount
of liquor consumed has fearfully in
creased, the figures being nearly a
half million gallons of spirits more
than last year. Is there any hope OF
Ireland, or indeed of any other coun-
try, where the people are degraded by
quently always contending with want
and poverty?

Seeker"

LEXINGTON, KY, ,-Ne~--A.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Much is said Eat
the present period of individual
improvement, but Christiap think
ers do not recognize the idea that
freethought is more oonge3ial to
the npblest mentality than pom
slant reference to lucubrati( of
great thinking men who are sup-
posed to control the human mind
and Civ tone to society views. If
Herbert Spencer fails to direct us
right, we can not attribute this
want of success to the fact that he
fawns upon the masses instead of
instructing them. But what shall
we say of Gladstone, who can not
relinquish the idea that the Jews
hav had a holy mission on earth;
that their sin and repentance is
the great Pecksniffian piece of
strategy, the stupendous lesson,
which has profited our morals as
much as Greek culture has cur
minds? Nehemiah also, l sup
pose, might be said, according to
Prideaux, to elaborate luxury
upon the most approved and sin
less plan, as a Hebrew Turvey-
drop might be expected to do.
The fact, however, is patent
with us that the kindness of the
Jews is more to be depended on,
in business, than their con-
science. We will not refuse to
admit that power in society like
Gladstone, if not a powerful
mind, will occasionally stumble
on something great and admirable.
So it is when he speaks of the
great laws of kindness and justice,
telling us they are written upon
the human mind and nothing
can efface them. This suggestion
is deprecated by Cardinal Glib
bons, another leader toward the
gate of heaven. Does he forget,
as he thinks upon his knees to
some higher authority (if such
process could be called brain exer-
cise), that justice could not
breathe in the air of slavery in
which we languish-that the
great borrower called religion
could not suggest anything to ele-
vate the mind which had not been
previously ground into US by
some lover of equal rights? Can
a person who has known nothing
but servitude originate luminous
idea, when the truth exists that
there is no aristocracy of thought;
when the beggar over his crust
can wear brighter gems of intel
lect upon his brow than a besotted
king, most Christian, even upon
his throne?
Herbert Spencer imagins that
women hav not the talents of
statesmen, although it is we'll
known that the best of them hav
an intense hatred of tyranny and
partial reforms. One rift in the
lutte mars the most exquisit music
our Impure stain upon a system
of morals drags it back to infamy.

The following editorial clipped
from the Geographic Review.
bearing on mission work punct-
ures where puncturing is needed.
1t also emphasizes the work The
Blade is trying to do.
Just now it would seem to a
man up a tree, and not very high
up either, that the Blade is doing
more work than the University
and the churches combined to
sweep Lexington clean of the sa-
looms, that Talmage calls the
"mouths of hell.
That this work should be
headed and lead most vigorously
and most fearlessly by an open
and avowed Nationalist, is cut
ting comment on the Christian
mani ood of the city.
=. No matter what Moore: is; an
infdel, Nationalist or Hottentot;
he is simply leading along the line
of Christian acork. This is undeni-
able. That he ought to be fol-
foacer along this line of work is
also unquestionable. The only
way to make him follower is to
catch up scith him and pass him,
and keep ahead if you can. We
want to see all the preachers start
out in the race with him, for the
honor of carrying the colors, in
the grandly sublime and terrific
combat with the liquor league
powers of hell. But read the edi-
torial
"Still another objection is found
in the strong drink traffic. Ma
hometant's have learned to call sa-
looms by the dignifed name
"Christian drinking houses"
Coll Childs, who was U. S. Con-
sui to Siam, told me some years
ago that one day he, in company
with another, approached a Ma.
hometant restaurant and remarked
that he supposed that he could get
something to drink. There upon
he was promptly informed by the
keeper of that restaurant that he
was a Mahometan and "handled
NO intoxicants." But those
heather nations are now being
filed with drunkards by our so.
called Christian nations. From
benighted Africa comes the petit
ton to Queen Victoria that she
will not permit her people to
bring or send more strong drink
into that dark region. While the
gospel has not sufficient influence
over our own people to put down
or purge out the deamon of strong
drink, nor prevent our own peo-
pie from corrupting and degrad-
ing the heather by taking strong
drink amoug them, how can we
expect the gospel in our hands to
convert them? At present the
best we can do for the heather is
to work against the strong drink
traffic in this country. Alcohol
and opium which our boasted
Christian nations have introduced
among the heather has done
probably thousand fold more
toward cursing the heather than
the Bible sent from these 30. called
"Christian nations" have done
toward blessing them. Not long
since certain preacher whom 1
can name went to Lexington, Ken
lucky, where the great "Christian
University" (so-called) has long
been established, and he found the
city of Lexington as fnll of sa-
looms as the devil could wish.
Blue-grass blade., 1892-01-02

Prof. McGarvey's friends know
to what you allude. Like a true
man he is trying to save his boy
and the boys of other people, by
working for Prohibition, and
that's what you ought to be doing
instead of helping the political
party that did all it could to ruin
his boy, and then taunting him be-
cause he suffers from the evil that
you have helped to infict upon
him.
Blue-grass blade., 1892-01-02

IF editor Moore of the Blue
Grass Blade and many of the
Christian people of Lexington are
to be believed, public morals at
that city are at a discount. Sun
day afternoon lectures have been
delivered "to men only" by Porf.
j. w. MeGarvey, the Hon. j. II.
Beauchamp, and the Rev. E. L.
Southgate. These lectures are
highly sensational and are the
subject of discussion by the people
and press of the city, Anderson

B..l Temper Under water.


One Of the strange effects that div
ing has upon those who practice it is
the invariable bad temper felt while
working at the bottom; and as this
irritability passes away assoon as the
surface is reached again, it is only
reasonable to suppose that it is caused
by the unusual pressure of air inside
the dress affecting probably the
lungs, and through them the brain.
My experience has been that while
below one may fly into the most vio-
lent passion at the merest trife; for
instance, the life line held too tight
or too slack, too much air or too lit
tie, or some imaginary wrongdoing
ON the part of the tender or the boys
above, win often cause the temper
to rise.
/ have sometimes become so angry
m a similar way that have given
the signal to pull up, with the ex-
press intention Of knocking the heads
OF the entire crew; but as the sur
face was neared and the weight of
air decreased, my feelings have grad
ually undergone change for the bet

miles from Detroit, is about the
worst youngster on record, and.
strange to say, his fond mother
doesn't seem to know it half as well
as the neighbors do. Not long ago
she opened out ON a man who spoke
his mind very freely tolWilliam.
Did you tell my son to go to the
bad places" she asked, with flash
in her eye.

prompt contradiction.
Did you say he would go there

man became hot. Il suppose he told
you I did, but it isn't true. Haven't
much respect for the bad place,

enough sympathy for it not to wish
it any such bad luck as that.
