ParatR, the Maori Sea Monster.

The Maoris of New Zealand and the

they attribute to huge water breath

is said to do this work by powerful and
regular respirations or ingurgit ttions
and regurgitations OF water With one
tribe in Australia and another in the
Sandwich Islands it is customary to
speak OF drowned person as having

islands at remote period of their his

myth which tells them that their island
was originally populated by this same
water breathing monster, which is said
to have brought loaded canoe in his
mouth from some PARKWAY land. A
cunning priest confined in the monsters
mouth with the others recited a charm
which caused Parata to disgorge his

of taking some form of alcohol with

The flushing of the face, caused by
the dilation of the small blood vessels,
usually induced by alcohol when taken

place in the stomach. The direct ac-

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
FIFTY MILES OF SALOONS.

The Magnitude OF the Liquor Business In
New York City.
It is said that in New York city there
are $500 saloons and that if they were
placed side by side they would extend
fifty miles The yearly income of these
groggeries amounts to $54, 600, 600, ac-
cording to official estimates. The pub
lie schools of the state of New York
are outnumbered by the saloons in New
York city and Brooklyn.
These facts are cited to show that
young men have a wider field of in
duence in the temperance cause than
Is indicated by simple abstinence. The
figures given for the great cities of
New York state are similar to those
that might be presented for any sec
ton of this country, the chief differ
ence being proportionate to the popnla-
tion.
But what can a total abstinence
young man do to help the temperance
cause? He can do many things; but
only one thing will be mentioned at
this time. 1t is to be observed that the
whisky-selling business is not respect
able-except, indeed, in cases where
large profits have made men rich and
their money has blinded the eyes of
conscienceless people who would accept
the devil as friend il he were only
gold plated. But the common saloon
keeper, the man whose hands pass the
liquor over the counter, Is not received

lion of him, except, of course, in his
own saloon. This indicates that those
who drink condemn the business In
their hearts, and that they consider
themselves socially above those whom
they patronize. This is as 1t should be.
One of the greatest dangers of the
drinking habit lies in the fact that men
who are otherwise respectable are
guilty of this vice. And just here is the
opportunity of temperate young
men. They may SO constantly
condemn the tipping habit that
those who indulge in it will be
forced out of respectable society or
out of the habit. There are thousands
of young men who are not as yet so
thoroughly welded to drink that they
would not made a right choice if they
were forced to decide between beer
and responsibility. To take a drink"
is no slight matter and is not to be
laughed at. When the disastrous re-
suits of intemperance are to be seen in
such appalling abundance on every
hand, it is saddening in the extreme to
note with what indifference Christian
people. who themselves would not taste
a drop of liquor, see others begin the
habit Such carelessness is only
equaled by that exhibited when men
neglect to do Gods will as to their
souls welfare.
Why not do personal work in the
temperance cause as we'll as in religion?
This is the one method of com batting
the evil which we seek to present in
these paragraphs. If hundred thou
sand Christian young men were to
make themselves constantly and per-
sonally responsible for as many more
who are addicted to the drink habit,
and with all the enthusiasm of their
young manhood plead for the homes
and mothers whose happiness is endan-
gered, representing Christ as the great
Saviour from all evil habits, the temper
