IGNORANCE AND TEACHING.

No boy expects to become drunkard
when he begins to drink. In fancied secur-
ity youth Of generation after generation have
embarked in the current of dppling only to
be drawn into the rapids Of appetite and in-
ally plunged over the awful abyss OF drunk
enness. To prevent this and thus save the
childhood of to-day and tho Nation Of to-
morrow ; for an Intelligent sobriety, B the
first object sought BY what are called the
temperance education laws already enacted
by the National Congress for schools under
Federal control and BY thiny-six out Of forty
four States that constitute the United States.
In these schools are the Overwhelming ma
jorities Of the future, the law-making power
Of tomorrow.
Every years experience and observation
strengthens the faith in the prophecy that
ten years from the day when physiological
temperance is as thoroughly taught In althe
schools as geography and arithmetic the al
cohol question will be settled and settled
alright In this Republic by popular inteilt-
gence with corresponding habits. Hard, In
deed, must be the heart Of the man or woman
who could deliberately Ws4hhold the utmost
Harning science has against strong drink
and other narcotics fromthe children under
bis or her care. E

with gentleman shd lady friend, for
whom he felt the greatest respect. The
waiter said to the gentleman: .'Will you
have some pudding with wine saucer"
"Yes," was the answer. The young mans
craving for strong drink was aroused at the
mention of the wine sauce, and he was also
about to reply afflrmatively to the walters
question, when his lady friend quickly said ::

milk to form very stiff batter. When
all these ingredients are thoroughly
mixed, an operation which will take
the time and patience of several per-
sons, pour into q cloth, which should
be well buttered and Toured. The
best pudding cloths are those made
out of thin unbleached muslin; they
should always be scalded with boiling
water and wrung as dry as possible
before using. It is always we'll 20 lay

WATER INSTEAD OF WHISKY.

The Pittsburg Dispatch quotes an eminent
physician, Dr.. r. II. Dalton, as recommend
ing, on the ground Of health, the methodi-
cal use Of "cold water" as beverage; and
as saying that 1t will prove the means Of
augmenting the chance Of longevity that It
Is OF soundly physiological origin, and Is
well supported BY experience. DR.. Dalton
says that solid and dry as the human body
appears, water constitutes more than one
fourth It's bulk, and all the functions Of life
are really carried on In water bath. and al
though the sense of thirst may be trusted to
call for a draught of water when required,
the fluid can be imbibed sdvantageously for
many reasons besides merely satisfying
thirst. He maintains that the habit ofdrink-
ing water In moderate quantities between
meals contributes to health, and indicates
the fact that those who visit health resorts
for the purpose Of imbibing the wazers Of
ninera! springs, might profit by staying at
home and drinking more water and less
whisky. If DR.. Dalton Is right, there is GER
tsinly no need of rosorting to alcoholic
beverages Of any kind. National Temperance

Yaon MISS w1IIAsD's ANNUAL ADDRESS.

FROM MISS WILLARD ANNUAL ADphEss.
EVERYTHING Is not In the Temperance Re-
form, but the Temperance Reform should DO
IN everything. -,
The temperance cause started out well
nigh alone, but mighty forces have joined Us
in the long march. Science has come up
with its glittering contingent, political econ
ony displsysits legions, the woman question
brings an Amazonian army upon the Held,
and rhe stout ranks Of labor stretch away as
far as the eye can reach.
The church that within the next genera
ton opens widest doors OF ecciesiasticai free,
dom TO women will be the church, OF Gospel
triumph and heavenly benediction.
The great world brain Is becoming. satu.
rated with the idea that 1t is reasonable and
kind to let strong drink alone.
The high caste Hindoos have received the
impression that Christianity means intemper-
ance, but they have learned that the SALIVA
ton Army Is teetotal. and for this reason
they think more highly OF Its members than
OF sny other religious scot that comes to
them from the West.
Only as the outcome OF our Christian pro-
fession tends toward the greatest uplift and
truest happiness OF man, woman and child,
does II deserve the credence OF the world ;
we must not forget that under its Bgis to-day
are sheltered the liquor traffic, the opium
trade and the protection OF imPur1ty py law;
Therefore the enlightened Christian Will
have q part of his working creed In these en-
nghtened days, this prayer: ~
sob, freedom, deepen thou grave,
Where every king and every slave
Shall drop in crown and chain,
Till only man remain"
Whoever laughs at total abstainer shows
himself lacking In clear mind as well as
good heart, for to take such procauhon on
ones account as a matter of prudence is
surely conformnble to reason, and to take II
in order TO make 1t easier for Others to 90
the same Is conformable to the Gotden hule
and the highest dictates OF brotherhood ..
The world owes no man living. but It
does owe him the work by which he may
live In helpful and honorable fashion.
We shall reap what we have sown, and we
must SOW the principles Of brotherhood II
we would reap the socialism OF the Gospel: ~
If We have any justice 1t behooyes US 70
look into the cause, and not deal forever
and day with the effects OF tho liquor
traffic, and with these alone.
