to not few of our finest novelists.
They have deliberately and knowingly
fostered the idea that culture, learn
ing, high breeding, conspicuous intel
lectual and social qualities are more or
less directly associated with the wine
cup. In consequence, many members
OF the wealthy, intelligent and most
cultured classes are possessed of root
ed aversion to the temperance move
ment. No doubt this is partly owing
to selfish motives, but perhaps
still more to sanction given to
drinking by names widely revered
in the domain of letters. Even
now, in these halcyon days of progress
and enlightenment, in connection with
our bands of hope and various temper
ance organizations, there is a remark
able dearth of workers belonging to
those sections of the community in
which drinking assumes its most Sc
ductive and dangerous forms. Such
work, forSooth for the souls and bodies
OF men is puny, puerile, unfit for men
of talent and position! The bar and
the barmaid, generally pretty, Co
quettish, alluring; the inn with its
cosy parlor and convivial topers; the
smiling landlord and the rosy land
lady; the gay company and the spark
ling wit and wine of the dinner-table
the halo of apparently innocent pleas
ure thrown about the drink and the
drinl1er, are all set out bright side
foremost. This is fiction. There are
no illusions, or but those of the scanti-
est kind, to reality-to the foul language,
the vapid, senseless talk, the ABDOMINAL BILE
nected in fact with these seemingly
attractive places and persons. The
untiedged youth, weak-minded, roman
tic perhaps, imaginative, feels irresisti-
bly, drawn by these brilliant-colored
pictures of convivial life. He is Tempt
ed to plunge recklessly forward in
mad career of brutal pleasure, insensi-
bly, led on by those fatal will-o'-the-
wisp lights that are the creation of the
literary artist, only to find out, often
when too late, that he is sunk fast in
fetid bog of vice and immortality from
which there is no hope of escape. The
pity is that so much that is riches and
best in our literature, so elevating and
enrolling in its general tendencies,
should have to be held as large response
bic for spreading the deadly leaven of
intOXication and its concomitant vices.

A Pretty Dinner Gown,

A pretty dinner gown is made in the

colored lace panels on either side, a

is so universally used as Il trimming
that it has become almost a livery of
well-dressed women. Perhaps its reign
will soon be over, chiefly in consequence
of this egregious popularity. One sees
such dreadful sleeves made of the cheap
sorts and looking haggard, depressed,
crushed and beaten down. Why have

VARIOUS NOTES.

THE old man is a drunkard because
the boy didn't decide not to take his
first drinll.-Ram's Horn.
In 1891 the legalized liquor traffic
gave this country three hundred thou
sand criminals, eight hundred thousand
paupers and three hundred thousand
idiots.
In Glasgow Scotland, fifty-nine out of
siXtytwo criminals tried at one session
of court testified that drinking had
led to their crimes.
THE state board of health of Arkan-
sas has been given authority to revoke
the license of any physician who is
guilty of habitual drunkenness
OF six hundred and eleven paupers
in the Edinburgh poorhouse not one
was an abstainer, and four hundred and
seven admitted that their poverty was
due entirely to intemperance.

century.
THOMAS BYRNEs, superintendent of
the New York police department, says:

ABRAHAM LINCOLN said: THE liquor
traffic is a cancer in society, eating out
the vitals and threatening destruction,
and all attempts to regulate it will not
only prove abortive, but will aggravate
the evil. No, there must be no more
attempts to regulate the cancer; it
must be eradicated. Not a root must
be left behind, for until this is done, all
classes must continue in danger Of be-
coming victims of strong drink"

HARD TO KILL.
An Instance of the Alliga tor's Tenacious

the great difficulty of taking the ami

We were on shooting party near the
Pointee indigo factory, on the Gauges,
and one day when we returned from
our mornings round in the jungles
after deer and always possible tiger
or a wolf, we found that some fisher
men had brought in an alligator about
six feet long. securely bound on bull
lock cart. The animal was still alive,
but had evidently been severely beaten
to make him quiet on the bullock cart,
SO the order was given to tie stout
rope around its loins and to turn it into
a small tank to refresh and recover
itself while we We're taking our baths
and our breakfast.
breakfast over, the alligator was
hauled out of the tank, and was quite
lively, so that it had to be fastened to
tree. Then operations for killing it
began, but bullets from small rifle or
an ordinary twelve-bore gun seemed
only to irritate it. A Sontal brought a
large spear. one of the lato venabula
ferro which they use, and drove it down
the alligator's throat into its vitals,
and this had more effect, while another
man got an AK and chopped away at
the neck till the head was separated
from the body. The body was then cut
open and the heart was lying on the
ground by its side, but still the tail
continued to move. But here we with
drew, and the mob of Sontals, who had
been eagerly waiting, rushed in with
their knives and cut up the body and
ate everything eatable. so that in q
short time there was nothing left but
the skin and bones.-Longmans Maya
