Beer or baby-wine or wife,
Which do hold more precious than life;

While the rumsellers wife feeds on turkey and

FASHIONABLE TEMPERANCE.
Drink ut Dinners Is Becoming Unpo
ular.


Drink vt Dinners Is Becoming Unpop-
ular.
That the fashion in wines and wine
drinking at table is surely changing,
think no one at all addicted to dining,
either in the capacity of guest or host
at large dinners will deny. The causes
for this change are numerous. perhaps
the most potent of them heiHg the dread
of ingalidism which attacks men even
more generally. and with more remedial
effect. than women. Perfect physical
condition is an ideal much Striven for,
and one and perhaps the principal way
If attainment thereto is by temperance
in the use and selection OF wines. Men
appreciate that fact in this generation
as never before. and are helped toward
it in many ways-by fashion, by the
spirit os the age which frowns upon
Scif-indu gence, and by athletic train
inr.
Between the ages of sixteen and
twcnty-onc the average gentlcmau's
son is at college. and at work usually
in some department Of college athletics.
His training there forbids an excessive
use Of either wine or tobacco, and so
during these Years a habit CT alb
stcmiousncss is incdlcated, and almost
never out~rown. Older men learn the
adyisa bilitv Of snch habits. Perhaps
after over-indulpeuce. and in sight of
threatened disease, both of which act
as decided cUl'bs to a careless intcmper-
ance.
A change in the fashion of serving
wines has come about, and a greater
temperance in their use has arisen with
it, although the custom itself is as firm
" intrenchcd as ever. A mixture of
claret and water, and champagne are
the two beverages most usually served
to guests now. How many Of us can
remember of how recent a date is this
change. and appreciate it accordingly.
Light wines are the order OF the day,
The heavy ports and Madcras of our
grandfathers being rclegatcd into OBJ
security.
The amount of wine consumed at
dinners, too, is much decreased Most
men. knowing their capabilities. seldom

reach them.
As to women, they are always light
drinkers. Men study the effect of wine
drinking on their digestion next morn
ing, and are as a consequence the bet
ter in health. mind and happiness. Bet
ter, toe, than those of their ancestors,
who. to prove their manhood, would
drink until nature advanced its own re-
fnsal.
Happily all this has changed, and
mothers can, in this age. watch the
growth and development of their sons
with serene consciousness that the com
non temptation to excess in drink is
nalliied in great measure by the
fashion Of temperance and the hyEienic
tendencies of modern society.

NOTES BY THE WAY.

THREE times as much spirits are con-
sumed in Scotland according to the
population as in England.
CAREFULLY compiled statistics show
that sixty thousand lives are annually
destroyed by intemperance in the
United States.
The lord chief justice, at the Birming-
ham assizes last year, said: IF England
could be made sober three-fourths of
her jails could be closed"
DR. ROBERT JACKSON, who was at
one time at the head OF the medical
staff in the West Indies, expresses his
conviction that an English soldier,
aided by temperance, may be rendered
capable of going through the severest
the West Indies.
ONE hundred and forty inmates of the
workhouse in the District of Columbia
have urgently petitioned the commits
sioners against the issuance of any
more liquor licenses. The poor fellows
know what they are talking about, for
saloons have doubtless been deep
curse to all of them.
1T has been demonstrated in Kansas
that the liquor traffic viii not be able
to stand against persistent, bold and in
telligent opposition. 1t can make no
defense for itself. The last shred of
argument in its behalf is the fallacious
one of the dollar. Experience has
shown that the community that will
suppress the traffic gains financially,
and that liquor revenue pays one dollar,
and robs the people who can least af-
ford it of ten.
THE League Journal, in a well writ
ten article on Savings Banks and
Temperance" indicates the silver
lining to the sable cloud" Of drunk
enness. 1t halls the increased number
of depositOrs, especially among youth
and children, in the savings banks OF
the united kingdom as a bright and
cheering sign for temperance reformers;
and it claims that the temperance agi.
tation has wrought great change in
the habits of the more intelligent work
ingmen, directly and indirectly.
A NINETEEN year old New Jersey boy
died not long age from excessive use OF
cigarettes. He began to smoke them
when eight years of age, and the habit
so grew upon him that he could not
shake it off. A few weeks ago he be-
came so sick that he had to cease work,
and grew weaker every hour. From
his former healthy, robust form he dwin-
| died to a skeleton. As he died he
turned to those beside him and said
Tell the boys that cigarettes killed
me; let them profit by my sad expert
ence." A moment later be was dead

Rum TIE MISSIONARY.
IL IL by That Name That the African
Designate strong Drink.

IL IL by That Name That the Africans
Designate Strong Drink.
As stated by the bishop of London, il
is positive fact that in one place in
Africa the Christians are building
mosque rather than a church, because
the Mohammedans do not bring drink
with them: whereas an increased num-
Der of Christians would mean an in
crease in the Importation of drink.
One of the Mohammedan African
chiefs, in praying for the suppression
Of the liquor traffic created by us in
| his country, says: The natives them
selves do not want it, it is forbidden by
their laws, but they are forced to break
those laws by you English. You are
deteriorating our people and destroying
whole races of them" He pathetically
implores the English queen to stop
sending her rum and her gin to his
people"
The very air of Africa reeks with
rum and gin imported by us; every hut
! is redolcnt of its fumes. Gin bottles
and boxes meet the eye at every step,
and in some places the wealth and i'm
| portance of the various villages are
measured by the size of the pyramids of
empty gin bottles which they erect and
worship. Over large areas drink is al
most the sole currency, and in many
parts the years wages of the negro fac
tory worker are paid altogether in
spirits.
| A steamer which recently returned
from West Africa brought home with
her cargo of rubber, palm oil, ivory,
gold and other rich products she had
obtained in exchange for a compound
called rum and gin, bartered at the rate
OF rum nine pence per gallon and gin
two shilliugs and six pence per dozen
pint bottles" This so-callcd rum and
gin is known to the natives as the
missionary" The introduction of this
missionary into peaceful villages trans
forms them into a haGcs peopled by

ishment is to bc possessed by neves-
ending thirst for more missionary.

BARROOM FASCINATION.
Men Who Would Rather Drink in Sa-
loon Than at Their Own Sideboards.

wen VINO would Rather Drlnk IN a Sa-
loon Than at Their Own Sideboards.
Mans development goes on and takes
many peculiar forms. A doctor was
saying the other day that bars have a
peculiar fascination for men. who are
not by nature born to inebriety that is
most ceplorable. One case was cited of
man who was free to drink as he
chose, who had no family. and who
lived alone in handsome apartments.
In his own room he had every kind of
choice liquor. Yet, except when the
friends came to see him, he never
brought out his liquor, but bought all
he drank in public bars. If he were
about to enter his home and desired a
little whisky he would turn about and
go as many blocks as was necessary to
find a barroom. Then it got so he
would go out in the stormiest of nights.
and on more than one occasion he rose
from his bed, dressed himself and went
out into freezing cold when he might
have helped himself at his own side
board. 1t is distinct development of

LIFE AND DEATH.

Under our feet the green, green grass, :.
Full Of daisies and clover sweet:
And all day long the shadows pass
To and fro where the branches meet
Under our feet the spangled bloom
AS merry-hearted we laugh and play,
Drunk, like the bees, with the rose perfume,
Blthe and glad as the summer day.
Over our heads the green, green grass,
Where the silver dews and the rain-drop
weep;
And even the dearest step may pass,
And never waken us out OF sleep.
Over our heads the spangled bloom
Where merry children laugh and play;
Oh, the inevitable DOOM
Oh the end of the summer day.

A GREAT DISCOVERY.

A HERALD reporter exhibited copy of

university to learn the local significance OF
the discovery in view Of the utilization of
the brine OF the Great Salt lake for the man

tissue paper copy and while there was a
total absence Of details his chemistry
taught him that electricity produced ozone
