TEMPERANCE TIDlNGS.

ALCOHOLISM may with good reason be
termed the phylloxera of humanity in
this nineteenth century, so says one of
the leading newspapers of Geneva,
Switzerland.
OF 1880 criminals who have passed
through the Elmira reformatory, the
statistics clearly show drunkenness
existing in the parents of 3S.7 per cent
and probably in Ill per cent. more.
THE yearly waste in the United States
through drink is at least $500, 900, 900. In
forty years $4,000, 900, 900 have been
thus wasted. This is equal to the
whole savings of the people from 1888
to 1857.
EVEN small quantity of alcohol con-
fuses the mind, and makes people less
able to think and learn and in Judging
what is right and best. Hence the
Bible says: 1T is not good for kings to
drink wine, nor for princess strong
| drink, lest they drink and forget the
| law"
AMERICANS drink almost twice as
much tea and coffee as alcoholic bev-
erages, and in spite of the fact that
| whisky has been called the national
drink, only 1.3s gallons of ardent
spirits are consumed for every Al. 81
gallons of lighter stimulants. From
which it is fair to infer that we are a
temperate and sober people. Albany
journal.
FROM the same vat of spirits can be
produced whisky of any age, rum from
Jamaica or any other place on the
| globe, brandy from the most celebra ted
districts of France, and the most APP
proved after-dinnsr cordials, and gin
that would deceive the most educa ted
tastes, can all be produced from a few
jars of coloring matter and walls of
drugs, upon the labels of some of
which appear the skull and cross
bones as warning to the user.
NOTwITHsTANDISG the statements of
liquor dealers to the contrary, says the
Dakota Farmer, drunkenness has been
almost entirely wiped out. many a mod
crate drinker has quit the habit, and
| above all, a host of young men have
started on a sober and Industrious ca
reer under three years influence of So
called prohibition. The drink bill of
the residents of the two Dakotas
dropped off seventy per cent. the very
first year, and has been growing mater
tally less ever since, and no one was
made poorer thereby but the saloon
keepers, brewers anu distillers.
A GENTLEMAN, unexpectedly subpe-
naed as witness lost sight of his little
four-year-old son who accompanied
him. The child strayed into a saloon.
Come and have some beer. said the
saloonkeeper. No. don't want any,"
was the reply. 'Oh. come; it won't
hurt you" The child again refused.
"But why not? What's the reason you
won't drink it?" persisted the saloon
keeper. 1T would make my mother
feel bad, and the little voice vibrated
with tender thoughtfulness of the
mother at home. Men of America, does
a similar thoughtfulness influence your
decisions when you are tried and tempt.

Drinking Wives.

The metropolitan police returns show
that last year S,373 women were taken
into custody on the charge of being
''drunk and disorderly" in London; but
it should be borne in mind that the po-
lice are ordered not to bring in" or
charge persons found drunk in the
streets unless they are disorderly. If a
drunken woman goes home quietly
when advised by an officer, nothing
more is heard of the matter. One Mon
day morn ing sixteen women, known to
be wives of laboring men, were brought
before one police magi strate for dis
orderly" 1t is explained why Monday
and Tuesday are distinguished above
all other days for this black list of
women inebriates that on these days
women bring to the pawnshops the
Sunday clothes" of the husband and
receive loans with which to indulge
during the week. When the end of the
week arrives and the husband brings
home the wages the clothes are re-
deemed, to be returned again and again,
the husband meanwhile being entirely
ignorant of transaction which ac-
counts for so much of the misery of his
home. -Chicago Tribune.

tatives of all classes. The proprietors
are indulgent. They want money, and
any man who has money to spend is
made welcome. Business men, profess
sional men. drummers, young men bout
town who have contracted the habit OF
drinking, or are doing so, may be fou2d
here. Especially do these saloons profit
from the sons of the wealthy-young
men who do not know the value of
money because they never had to toll
for it. They throw it away for drink
with reckless prodigality, wasting their
patrimony, and setting their steps in
the path which usually leads to ruin,
moral, physical and financial.
One of the strongest bulwarks of the
saloon in our land comes from the allie
glance of wealthy men. Money is a
power, and rum seeks to keep its
clutches upon the wealthy portion of
our people. The saloon caters most en-
ergetically to number men of this class
among its slaves, that it may have the
advantage of the power in their hands
in the struggle with prohibition.
Wealth has its privileges and also it's
obligations. The power of fashion is
great; not merely fashion in dress, but
in social customs and observances. The
wealthy class is the covering class in
this respect. So long as the fashion
able world sets the example of having
wine at table, of encouraging social
drinking, so long will thousands and
tens of thousands of poor men follow its
deplorable example, and reap their re-
ward in after years of seeing their chill
dren become drunkards, spendthrifts
and debauchees. The force of example
is tremendous Society. so-called,

the day comes that wine is banished

MONEY AND DRINK.
The Influence of Wealth In Perpe suating
the Rum Evil.

One of the demagogic cries of the al
lies of the saloon in cities, whenever
an attempt is made to suppress the rum
traffic, or even to close the saloons on
Sunday, is that it is "a blow at the
poor man. that the well to do man can
keep liquors at his house, or can in
dulge at his club, which the working
man" can not do; and that prohibtorv
or Sunday laws thus bear upon the
poor, and are not felt by the Weather
members of the community. The pos
session of wealth gives to a man much
power, either for good or evil. Money
in one sense, is the lever that moves
the world; and those who possess it
possess the power of becoming potent
factors in the progress of humanity
either upward or downward. A man
may use his money wisely, or it may be
only the means of his accomplishing
his ruin more swiftly than otherwise.
The rum power aspires to make all
classes and conditions of men its vic
tins. 1t has it's outpostS, the low beer
shops and saloons in the poorer quar-
ters of every city and town, in order
that if may lay its clutches upon la Dor
ing men and women, and make them
pay tribute; while the principal streets
are lined with gorgeous saloons, resplen-
dent with mirrors, paintings, cut glass,
and elaborate displays of all kinds, to
induce those who may be Weather to
take the downward path. Instead of
stale beer, the patrons of these palaces
of ruin have fine wines; in place of vile
whisky, they drink fancy brands of
whisky and other iquors-concoctions
dignifed with high-sounding names,
but sure and swift poisons for all that,
There is as much drugging and doctor
ing and adulteration of the so-called
fine" liquors and wines as there is of
cheap whisky and gin.
Go into these briihantly-lighted gau-
dily-decorated hell-holes at night, and
you will find them allied with represen-

Women take too kindly to the role of
an invalid; the soft, the f1eecy white
shawl, the little cups of beef tea or
plates of oysters. Once let woman
taste the dreamy pleasures of this sort
of existence. and unless some shock or
sense of duty arOusss her, she will
calmly continue for the rest Of her days
in the pleasant path before her. She
smiles sweetly at the little attentions
offered her. she dresses in the daintiest
of semi-toilets, and she looks so pretty
and gentle and patient that it seldom
dawns upon the husband that the ex-
istence is an ignoble one. But let my
lord fall i'll, and oh, dear what a diff
ferent tale to tell. The valet comes
fiyfng from the room followed by a
boot; the cook gives notice because the
master called the beef tea 'beastly
stuff" the housemaid is in tears be-
cause she is not allowed to sweep or
dust the sick room. Man, noble man,
is pitiful object when he is sick. Get
him thoroughly i'll and he is a better
patient than woman. But if he is
merely laid up for day or two with a
cold or bilious attack he persistently
kicks, instead of wisely enjoying the
rest which benificent nature has i'm
posed upon him.-London Hospital.

PATIENCE with Eccentricitv.

society regarded Thomas Carlyle with a
feeling almost akin to reverent delight
when he chose to behave like an igno-

the presence of the queen. This gener-
alton, however, has little patience with
such eccentricities.

Longs Railway Safety Clock.

Peter Long of Greensburg, Pa, is the
patentee Of one of the most useful rail
way appliances of the age-a railway
signal time clock which accurately indi-
Gates the time intervening between the
passage of trains. 1t is mounted SINH
larly to a danger signal, and the engi-
neer can readily tell by simply glancing
at the dials the length Of time which has
elapsed since the preceding train passed
that point. The clock runs regularly
and indicates the hours and minutes just
as an ordinary timepiece does, but an
ingenious device and the time marking
apparatus throws the minute hand back
to 10 at the time of the passing Of each
train. Then the hand moves forward
in the regular way until the next train
thunders past, when it is again thrown
back to II.
Should any one train not be followed
by another for an hour or a longer
period, then the minute hand will stop
at So minutes and remain there until a
passing train again throws it back to 70
where it will again begin its 55 minute
journey. The purpose of having the
hand stop at 55 minutes is to show that
at least that time has elapsed since a
train has passed that way, which is am
ply sufficient to indicate "clear track.

For a whole week every soul in the
place, to all intents and purposes, was
drunk-all the men, many of the women
and some of the children. The occasion
offered, and they rose to it. They had
never before enjoyed themselves so much
in their lives-that being their idea of
enjoyment. No doubt to this hour
many of those amusement seekers look
back to that week as being the most
amusing week they ever spent. the
