The dean of St Paurs. replying to
the attack on corporal punishment by
A. J. Palm, in the American Journal OF
Politics, says. ''Mr. Palm displays consid.

regards the two admirable reforma-
tories at Philadelphia and Huntington,
Pa, as frst-class prisons. Yet in both
these institutions, according to recent
Investigations, it has been found that
corporal punishment fourishes and pro.
duces good.
AS to his argument that because
! fogging has been abolished in French
schools, they are better disciplined than
English ones, let him read the opinions
of Max O'Rell There he will find that
this Is very far from being the case.

His Essay on COlumbua.

cannot avoid recalling story pub
lished in q London newspaper some
twenty years ago, as having come from
a school in the Midlands. The maste,
told the boys of the third class to write
short essay on Columbus. When the
essays were called for one ambitious
young man handed up a document, al
near as can rectal it, which read like
this:
"'Columbus was q man who could
make an egg stand on end without
breaking it. The king of Spain said tc
Columbus: "Can you discover Amer.
lea" "Yes," said Columbus, If you
will give me ship" So he had shir
and sailed over the sea in the direction
where he thought America ought to be
found. The sailors quarreled and said
they believed there was no such
place, but after many days the pilot
called to him and said: columbus,
see laud.' ''Theu that is America, "
said Columbus. When the ship, got
near the land was full of black men.
Columbus said: sis this American

WATER THE BEST DRINK,
Alcohol q Great Degenerator OF I
Physical Man,


Physical Man.
The man who drinks freely of alco-
holic drinks becomes prematurely old,
and shows deterioration of his tissues.
Alcohol is the great degenerator of the
tissues. When he should be man in
the prime of life he is an old man. He
becomes decrepit in thought and mo-
ton, and that love of life which might
be perhaps increased as he goes on in
years is rendered hopeless, and then
comes despair. Every man is safest if
he never INDUCES in that variation of
nature from water, which was i'm
planted IN the whole animal world.
You may make water more palata BILE
by the addition of fruit juices, but
there must be no poisonous or dele.
FERROUS addition to the drink which
goes to assist in the construction and
activity of the body; our thirst must
be siaked with that drink which the
great Chemist raises from the ground,
from the lakes and the rivers, expands
into clouds, allows to distill down from
the mountains back again into the
streams, and keeps up for us a current
of living water, which, like life itself,
it is His blessing to bestow.-Dr. B. w.

The consumption of tobacco and
beer is increasing in England as we'll as
in France. In France the average
amount of tobacco consumed by each
inhabitant annually is two pounds.
NJ. PAsTEUR states that when bitten
by mad dog a man who habitually
uses intoxicating spirits is more diff
cult to cure than temperate man.
Yes, and when bitten by any other
disease.
The temperance cause is advancing
among British soldiers in India. Lord
Roberts says he has under his COM
mand fourteen thousand five hundred
British soldiers pledged to total ab-
stinence.
WE sometimes hear merchants com.
planning of hard times, but we hear no
complaint from the saloon-keepers.
They are getting the money, and the
merchants will have hard times until
the whisky traffic is stopped, and the
money that is spent for liquor is spent
for the necessaries of life. Business
men, think it over.
The number of drunkards who died
last year in, the United States was 12o,-
600. The drunkards who are living to-
day in this country number 1850, 900.
The drink bill of the nation last year
was about 81, zoo, 0o0, 600, and three out
of every four arrests are made for
crimes directly due to drink--at least,
that is what the Voice says.

they would abstain from lager, the 90

In poverty is anarchy bred, and alcohol

IT would not be surprising If the

almost discouraged by the statistics
concerning the drinking habits In
