effects of his last attack. He believes himself
as temperate and discreet man as any of his
friends who takes his pint bottle of claret at din
ner and seldom takes more. He does not see
why he should not do likewise. 1t is the hardest
thing to convince an intermittent drunkard, who
is able to abstain for PERIOD that he can never
by any chance become moderate drinker. New
ertheless, the principle of his drinking is dis
tinct from that of a moderate man. If he tries
to return to his two or three glasses of caret he
is absolutely certain to go to his secret "np''

crease and he will find himself back again in the
old road to ruin. The patient, if he really wants
to be cured, must clearly make up his mind that
it must be total abstinence or self-destruction-

Intermittent Drinking.

There would be little use in my describing
What believe to be the cause and the course
OF intermittent drink, unless l set forth
my experience as to the various methods
in use to check or cure the disease, 1t may be
asked, " Has not a man will power, and can he
not of his own vOlitiOn abstain from what he
knows to be simply self-destruction?' My an
swer, unhappily, must be that a man who has
once fairly fallen into the drink habit, whether
constant or intermittent, has scarcely any will
power while the fit is on him, and as 1 have said,
each fit leaves his will feebler and less able to
withstand the temptation of sedative of which
he has proved the power, and of which he is too
prone to forget the danger.

A Lesson From the Past.

The autumn sun was lying low in the
heaven as we stood, Don and I, upon
the summit of a mountain in the Rock
les. Far eastward lay the fertile Sas-
katchewan valley, the nearer distance
being broken by the barren hills, fantas-
tic cliffs, and rugged, torrent and time
worn canons. Westward the valley of
the Columbia lay, a dark green sea of
luxuriant verdure, between the Rocky
and Selkirk ranges near us the cloud
piercing, snow covered pinnacles of
The Hermit and Sir Donald rose in 81
lent majesty. Beneath us the green,
purple, and amber foliage was illumin-
ed by the golden light Of the setting
sun, its rays falling for moment upon
the dark velvet-green sward of the little
valley below, climbed the mountain side
glow; then the valley lay in the deeper
the clouds bearing their colors, red,
golden and green, are hurrying to join
the Storm King, now marshaling his
forces in battle array. Yonder the color
sergeant is bearing aloft the black,
green bordered standard of destruction;
forward is the order, and the seething,
flashing, phalanX of inky darkness rolls
onward. Around us thick darkness
hangs like a pail over mountain and
valley. Silence for time reignS SUI
preme. Up from the unseen depths,
stirring the leaves, comes a breath in
creasing in volume, until the silence
shudders and is broken by mournful
wall, louder, still louder it sounds till
with an unearthly roar, the storm rends
night and is raging in fury about us.
Crash upon crash, the rumbling thun
der echoes and re-echOeS from peak to
canon and back to peak again; hither
and thither the lightnings flash, now in
vivid sheets of pale blue, now in curling
ribbons of molten fire, anon like the
darling tongue Of some huge serpent
about to seize its prey; the food gates of
heaven are opened and lend their aid in
the strife; finite and infinite have en-
gagged and the finite trembleS. Clouds
above, below and around us, thunder
crashing, tightening flashing, rain de-
scending, over all palpable darkness, a
very chaos, and we Shudder at the
thought. Ere long it's violence is spent,
the clouds roll back and through the
dissOlving mist shines pale Luna's sill
very light. Having seen the Titanic
warfare we were satisfied and descend
to our tent in the valley to rest in peace.
To-day standing alone on the mount
of reflection and looking back upon
the vanishing vista of life's wasted
years, the barren, rugged pathway, il
lumined here and there by the light of
another and better life, is revealed to
my clarified vision. Yet, through the
chaos of evil. begotten by the storms of
temptation, the bright beacon-light of
hope still shines, guiding onward and
upward to better, purer, truer life.

Monday morning, whilst part of the con-
structiOn gang were working in the water pipe
trench, the expected happened. A considerable
cave took place and caught, fortunately, only
one man, and more fortunately still caught him
standing, burying him up to the waist. A big
clOd struck him on the left shoulder and broke
the collar-bOne; he was not otherwise injured.
He was quickly extracted and sent TO the hos
pital.
In speaking of the man who spent so happy
birthday within these walls the editor failed to
illustrate the source of the happiness. But the
other day one of those who will not believe sup
piled most fitting one. Referring to the edtO-
rial frame of mind he said: you're like man
who having gone to sea found himself in rotten
unseawOrthy vessel and gave himself up for lost.
Then came along fully equipped, magnificent
ocean greyhound which he signalled and es-
capped onto. Looking out upon the seething, tu-

The editor put not only his foot but quite a
portion of his leg into it, Thursday, much to the
amusement of the state plumbers and engineers
and of Uncle Tom. the boss of the sprinkling
force. There seems to be quite hole along side
of the hydrant opposite the engine-house; this
was filled with water and covered with muddy
brown scum. Believing it to be sound ground
and thinking on how best to escape the fall crop
of poets the editorial foot went sOuse into about
one foot deep of water. If the water hadn't dis
mounted him from Pegasus the rude gutfaw from
the engine-hOuse barbarians, who had no respect
for We editor in distress. would certainly have
done so. Uncle Toms remark: why, boss,
dere was water dere,' reminded us of an Irish
episode years ago. Out snipe shooting one day
and eagerly watching the flight of wounded
bird. an incautiOus step was made resulting in a
plunge to the armpts in the treacherOus bog
1t began to look as if the end of snipe hunting
and all things mundane was arrived at, when
after some ten minutes steady struggle, we were
worse off than at first Nothing but hope and
the unexpected remained and the unexpected
arrived in the shape of a stout Irishman with
long pole. Having landed the future editor up
on somewhat sound ground, Pat looked quizzi-
caly at him as at some treasure trOve, and said:
"Begorra. Scr! you're fond of the wather''

The grades are now changed daily; any man
who loses three marks in thirty days loses his
grade with the third mark. Thus mark on
Sept. Goth mark on Oct.1st and mark on Oct.
2Sth puts man down.

they find feeding room.
Captain Alexander, last Thursday, looked
amusedly, but not admringly, at the dripping

change of clothing leaving not footprints on
the sand +" but on the newly scrubbed floor.

Norfolk Island.

AS the Pitcairn islanders are in my opinion
the happiest people in the world, so 1 believe
the jewellers on Norfolk island to be the most
unhappy or at least they appeared so when WIS.,
tied them. They have as good if not better cause
to be happy but they lack the motive. Some
four hundred miles west of Pitcairn is Norfolk,
one of the most lovely islands of the many gems
of the Southern Pacific ocean. Beyond the is
land itself is a Gordon of breakwaters of coral
within which the lmpid water reveals its won
ders of seaweed anemOnes shells and fishes of
many brilliant hues. The inner shore of this sur
rounding lagoon is a white coral beach from
whose upper margin springs all the varied vege-
tatiOn of the tropics. The cOcOa-nut along shore
and the bread-fruit, banana. and guava spring
from the upward slOping volcanic rocks, and ev-
erywhere is beauty and elegance. Yet in the
midst of this terrestrial paradise dwelt the most
unhappy discontinued people it was ever my lot
to meet. They were cOnvictS culled from Aus
tralian cities for their desperate and intractible
character and transferred there for safe-keeping
not to live and die, but to nger and die without
word or hope from the outer world. 1t was years
ago when l, a young sailOrbOy, gazed on beauty
spot where so much of misery had fretted out its
earthly thread. Little did l think then that 1
should come to the convicts garb and gaol; but
1 thank God and an advanced civilization that
my lot is cast in less bright though infinitely
more bearabe durance. SINBAD
