Why Do You Swear7

OF all the sins that are openly COM
mitted among US, none is more CON-
mon or terrible than profane swearing
No one, not even lady, can walk
block on our business streets without
hearing the most shocking profanity,
Men consign each others souls to
hell; call upon God to damn their
mules, horses, dogs, tools with which
they work, and even each other, with
out shudder, and seemingly with
out any thought Of the sin they are
committing. When man steals, he
does so to increase his wealth in some
degree; he lies, cheats and defrauds
for the same purpose; but what mo-
tive can prompt him to swear? The
man who utters such horrid oaths on
our streets not only violates direct
commandment of God, but also de-
grades himself, hardens his con-
science, trampIes upon the rights OF
others, and may cause the ruin Of
many whom he never knew. The in
nocent boy trudging to school or
playing by the wayside hears the
swearer's oaths, and, not knowing
their meaning, repeats them to his
playmates, and ere long a whole com
pany of boys become constant users
of profane language, from the exam
pie OF one profane man. What right
has any man to thus poison the minds
and hearts Of our boys? There ought
to be strict law against profanity,
strictly enforced. Dear reader, if
you are addicted to this habit, please
stop and think for a moment what
you are doing:
You are breaking an explicit com
mand of your Heavenly Father.
You are degrading yourself in your
own estimation and in that of others.
You are insulting all decent people
who hear you swear
You are setting an example to
Others that may ruin many whom you
never knew
Well did the poet Cowper say:
1t chills my heart to hear the best SUI
preme
Rudely appealed to on every theme.
Maintain your rank; yulgarity despise;
To swear Is neither brave, polite nor wise
You would not swear upon the bed Of
death;
Refiectl your maker now may stop your
BREATH

A reporter for the New York World
recently asked DR.. Geo. F. Shrady,
an eminent Brooklyn physician, il
whisky was good preventative OF
the grip. He replied: Whisky is
never good to ward off anything
Good food is the best means with
which to ward off disease. To dose
with whisky is like adding shavings
70 the fire. There is no physical,
mental or moral excuse for mans
drinking whisky as preventative OF
disease"

A BAD Mixture.

"The human body is constantly under
going tissue change" remarked the pro-
fessor to several listeners in the hotel Of
flee. Worn out particles are cast aside
and eliminated from the system, while
the new are ever being formed from the
inception of life to its close"

looked up leeringly.
Water" continued tho professor,
"has the power of increasing these tissue
changes, which multiplies the waste
products, but at the same time they are
renewed by its agency, giving rise to in
creased appetite, which in turn provides
fresh nutriment. Persons but little ac-
customed to drinking water are liable to
have the waste products formed faster
than they are removed. Any obstruction
to the free working of natural laws Mt

firmly seated, requires both time and
money to cure

a
Revolution
In Eating

has been brought about by the
introduction Of CoTToLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery Of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
Indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while tits we'll known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstain entire
~ from everything Of that kind.
To such people, CoTToLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLENE
is a cooking marvel. 1t combines
with the food-imparts to it
tempting color, a delicate flavor,
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the
digestion.
CoTToLENE is worthy of the
careful notice Of all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its hygienic properties.

Especial Correspondence
New YORK. Oct. 17.-Life in modern 30
ciety would be deprived of much of its
charm if men were to desist from attempt
ing to solve those problems of the future
whose elements are SO indeterminate that
absolute solutions as to provision are i'm
possible.
The destinations of chance are n proverb.
They, never pail upon their devotees. But
oil games of mingled chance and skill are
perennially new and attractive, and in pro-
portion as their results increase in impor-
tance their grasp upon human interests
becomes stronger. A great game was
fought out ut Waterloo, but hardly less
exciting was the game of finance that i'm
mediately ensued, In which the public
funds of England and France were the
counters and the Rothschilds the contest
ants against the world. Meade and Lee at
Gettysburg not only shaped the destinies
OF the United States, but those Of all the
gold gamblers of both hemispheres. If you
fling stone into the air, you cause Sirius
to swerve in his orbit and when you plant
an acre of wheat in Dakota, or dig n pound
of gold In Nevada, you influence the wheat
markets or the money exchanges of all the
great capitals.
That this pleasure is essentially base and
sordid, that the pursuit Of money tends to
degrade the character and lead to unworthy
uses OF the intellectual faculties, Is not a
reasonable conclusion. The love of money
has been said to be the root of all evil,
which is only another mode of saying that
the desire to improve ones condition is the
root of all evil. In fact, since there would
pe no evil at all but for the disposition to
