ALCOHOL IN SURGERY.

Mr.. Frederick Treves the well-knowp
surgeon of the London Hospital, in his
Manual Of Operative Surgery" has some
striking remarks on the risks attending
operations on the bodies Of drunkards. He
says: "a scarcely worse subject for an op-
GRAFTON can be found than is provided by the
habitual drunkard. The coalition contra.
indicates any but the most necessary and
urgent procedures, such as amputation for
severe crush, herniotomy aud the like. The
mortality Of these operations among alco.
holics is. it is needless to say, enormous.
Many individuals who state that they do
not drink and who, although perhaps never
drunk, are yet always taking little stimu-
liant in the form Of 'nips' ana an occasional
glass are often as bad subjects for surgical
treatment as are the acknowledged drunk
ards. OF the secret drinkers" " continues Mr.
TreveS, 'the surgeon has to be indeed aware.
In his account of 'Calamities Of Surgery
Sir James Paget mentions the case Of a per-
son who was drunkard on the sly, aud yet
not so much on the sly but that it was well
known to his most intimate friends. bis
habits were not asked after, and one OF his
fingers were removed because joint. disease
had spoiled it. He died in week or ten
days with spreading cellular Inflammation,
such as was far from unlikely to occur in an
habitual drunEarG. Even abstin snce from
alcohol for a week or two before an opsr-
alton does not seem to greatly modify the
result" Dwelling Oh the immense i'm port

ular modes OF living, by the Moderate use OF

If lunar conditions are favorable to
human existence, AMI 1t is not certain
that they are not, and you could be trans"
ported to the top of Pico OF some other
tall peak or rock on the surface of our
''silvery sister world" how do you sup
pose things would look from such want
age ground2 You would probably first
turn your eyes in the direction of our
earth, the world you had just quilted,
but to you it would be a stranger. In
place of the somber globe you would
naturally expect to behold your eyes
would be greeted with most wonderful
sight. The earth would appear to you
to be sixty-four times larger than the sun
appears to the residents of this mundane
sphere; this because the earth has eight
times the diameter of the moon, there
fore she must necessarily show the
moonites slxty-four times as much sur
face as the moon shows us. The sun,
on the other hand, would appear no
larger to you from your observatory on
the moon than it does from our globe.
The earth's atmosphere being blue it has
been decided that the earth must appear
as a blue ball to all outside onlookers.

CONQUER SELF.

Did you ever think of this, that there is
danger in simple indulgence; that there is
risk in saying to myself, II want this gra.
titcation. and therefore l will have lt?''
Very bad spiritual logic, by the way! Did
you ever read that singular story upon
which Balzac has founded one Of his tales,
that story of the magic skin that invested
its wearer with certain power to obtain
whatever be wished, but which with every
new qualification shrank in dimensions un-
til by and by it crushed him to death? That
magic skin is selfshness. You get your
wealth, but you shriyel: you gratlfy your
desires, but there is an atrophy takes place
id your moral and spiritual faculties. Your
eye gets blind to the vision of anything be
yond your material interests, and your hand
gets paralyzed as to reaching out blessings to
other souls, and your heart gets too narrow
to understand or sympathize or love. What
selfshness is in the church of God! Just
think of our houses and lands and
eeuipages, our libraries and works of
art, our personal decorations, our
ornaments and jewelry, the furniture and
garniture of our homes, and then think that
one thousand millions of the human race are
yet without even the knowledge of God, and
eight hundred and fifty millions that never
heardthat Jesus Christ died for men.-IDr.

COME THE LIGHT.

Skepticism is simply not believing. 1t is
denial, negation, darkness. There is only
one cure for darkness, ana that is coming to
the light. Hyou will persist in putting your
eyes out, or in barring Gods daylight out,
there is no help for you; you must die in the
dark. Sin has made your soul sick. and II
you will not even try some of Christs medi-
cine, then the blood-poisoning of infdelty
will run its fatal course. If you will produce
a better rule of life than my Bible (perhaps
your mothers Bible also); if you will find
a holier pattern of living than Jesus Christ
and a surer Saviour than he is. will for
swear my religion for yours. But what is
your II do not believe" in comparison with
my positive II know whom have believed?"
What is your denial in comparison with my
personal experience with Christ? Skepti.
cism never won victory, never slew sin,
never healed a heartache, never produced
a ray Of sunshine, never saved an immortal
sonl. 1t is foredoomed defeat. Do not risk
your eternity on that spiders web'-[Rev.

GOD's SIGHT Ny SAFETY.

That delightful passage in Exodus came
flashing up to my mind just now, when the
Israelite sprinkled the blood on the Intel
and the two side-posts. Then he shut the
door. He was inside; he did not see the
blood any more. The blood was outside up
on the post, and he could not see 1t himself,
but was he safe? Yes, hecause it is written,
"When / see the blood will pass over you"
It is Gods sight of the blood Of his dear Son
that is the everlasting safeguard Of all who
are in Christ. Though it is most precious
and sweet to me to look at that "blood once
shed for many for the remission Of SINS" and
lido look at it, yet if ever there should come
q dark night to me in which cannot see
it still God will see it and I am safe. / am
saved because it is written not "when you
see it," but "when I see the blood l will pass
over you" 1t is not your perfection Of sight
which is your safeguard. 1t Is not the alb
sence of blemish from your faith that makes
you to be accepted in the beloyed."-

WOULD PROHIBITION PRoH1BITs

The Summary, weekly published at the
New York State Reformatory at Elmira,
the work of the inmates, asks in a recent
issue editorially: "Would Prohibition Pro.
hibits' From its answer we quote the fol-
lowing:
.Legislate against the sale Of liquor. We
know, or take it for granted, that law WI
not prohibit. No prohibitory law ever did.
, It viii not even do much good, at least ap.
parently. to begin with. But we withdraw
from civilization the temptation continually
placed before them, at every corner Of the
streets of our American cities, OF liquor
saloons open for young men, not there in.
dulging them in taste already acquired,
but developing this taste within him. How
many of those not addicted to drink do you
suppose would trouble themselves seeking
for some hidden saloon were public saloons
abolished by law? Very few, indeed. And
yet we hear it said, Prohibition does not
prohiblt.' OF course it does not, If you do
mot give it time to. if you do not make it
sufficiently general to testify its action"

LOOKING BACK.

A life devoted to the service Of God is the
only life worth living and the only life af-
fordng pleasing prospect. when, as in
evitably will, in old age it comes up for re-
view. When Walter Scott, the Wizard Of
the North" was lying on what proved his
deathbed, he. called for his son.in-law:
said be, II may have bnt minute to speak
to you. My dear. be good man; be virtu-
Gus, be religious, be good man. Nothing
else will give you any comfort when you
come to lie here" And Paul, looking back
upon his life, found q priceless joy in being
finished my course, have kept the faith"
Sooner or later our lives will come before
us for self-inspertion and then it will not be
how cunning, or shrewd, or far-seeing, or
overreaching we have been, but how near,
through the operation Of his grace, we have
,ived to God, that will comfort US.

INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS RETARDED.

The industrial progress OF many European
Nations is materially retarded by toe drink
ing habits of wage-earners. In England,
Scotland and Ireland alone Professor Leone
Lew has estimated that the wage-earning
classes are spending S425, 1000. 900 year In
intoxicating drink. There has recently
been strong temperance movement in BEL
gium, where the working population can
hardly be regarded as models of sobriety.
AS the opponents Of the movement insisted
that the evil had been greatly exaggerated,
a manufacturer made curious and practi-
cal experiment by way Of settling the ques-
ton SO far IS his own employees were con-
cerned. He marked 100 fve-franc coins
with punch and distributed them in equal
numbers among his workmen when he paid
them their wages. At the same time 9 re-
quested the keepers Of the saloons adjacea
70 his works to hand over to him all the
coins so marked that came into their posses
sion. Two days after more than three hun
dred Of his silver pieces were returned to
him by the saloon-keepers. Subsequent
calculation showed that In less than two
days each workman had spent more than
half his salary at the saloon.-Chicago News

AN ENORMOUS WASTE.

The Rockford Monitor says that to get an
Intelligent idea of the vastness Of the drink
bill of the United States for 1892, 81, 200.-
OOO, 900, we must make few comparisons:
The net earnings Of all the railroads OF the
United States amount to less than
one.third Of our drink bill. The loss Of
property by fire in 1891 was only one-ninth
of the liquor bill. The entire expenses of
the United States Government are only
about one-half what we pay for intoxicants.
The aggregate capital Of all our National
banks Is about s7ol 600, 000, or but little more
than one-half the amount squandered on
drink each year.
