The example of Maine is now being
largely followed out, not only by other
States in our Union, but 10y English
speaking people everywhere. The di-
rect and inevitable relation Of the Ii
quor traffic to poverty, pauperism,
crime, misery, wretchedness and ruin
among the people, has become an OBJ
ject of earnest enquiry and investiga-
ton, not only in this country, but in
the United Kingdom, and in all her
many colonies. There are already
three large districts of London under
Prohibition, with three in Liverpool,
one in Birmingham, and one in Man
chester, one important manufacturing
town in Yorkshire Saltaire-with
more than one thousand parishes in
the Convocation of Canterbury, which
have had Prohibition for many years.
In the manufacturing town of Bass
brook. Ireland, and in a district con-
tanning sixty-two square miles, in
County Tyrone, there has been Prohi-
bition for more than thirty years.

The Tobacco Habit.

Close behind the sin of liquor drink
ing comes the habit of using tobacco.
1t is useless and extravagant and dis
gushing. What would the young men
of today think and what would they
say if every young woman of their ac-
quaintance walked forth on the streets
with snuff box and tooth brush and
engaged in the filthy practice of dip
ping snuff, or if they kept their mouths
filled with tobacco and chewed the
poison weed as men do? Or suppose
they all smoked and sent the sicken-
ing odor of burning tobacco about
them as they walked ? Would it not
be disgusting and ineXcusable
The thought has often come to me
that bad as other habits may be and
are. none of them are quite so preSumpt
nous as the habit of smoking. \ per
son may chew tobacco or dip snuff
without splitting on other people, no
matter how much his own clothes and
person may be defiled, but when the
fumes of tobacco are sent broadcast
into the air and fill all the space, the
whole atmosphere is laden with the
odor of tobacco and to breathe at all is
to take into your lungs the poisonous
air Any one CHANGING to pass along
the street is compelled to breathe this
tainted air, and very often it is some
delicate person who can not stand it
without suffering headache as a re
suit or some sickening sensation.
OF all things it seems most inconsid-
crate of others. to smoke in public
places, and the wonder is that any gen
tleman will so forget himself as to do
such thing.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-01-02

All the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Unions in the land; all the Sons
of Temperance organizations; all the
church temperance societies and all
other combinations of fanatical reform
ers are petitioning Congress for an in
crease in the tax on whisky.-Wine and
Spirit Gazette.
The files of the Ways and Means
Committee at Washington show that
just three w. c. 7. Unions and four Y.
NJ. C. AS in the whole nation have pc
titioned Congress for an increased
whisky tax. This Is the molehill out
of which the mountain of labored eff
fort has been made by the whisky press
to prove that the moral sentiment of
the country demands an increased tax.
No, thank you, gentlemen; you mis-
take the attitude of the temperance
people. 1t isn't more blood money we
want, but the suppression of your
whole bloody business.-The Voice.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-01-02
Smoking.

How repulsive sight to refined
nature is a man welded to the smok-
ing habit-a man whom one never sees
without his pipe.
This anecdote is told of mother
whose young son had begun to smoke.
A clergyman told her very kindly that
he had seen her boy smoking, but she
only repulsed him for his information.
Some years later she begged of him to
do something for her besotted son, but
alas, it was too late. The son died in a
few years a drunkard and suicide.
A gentleman tells this story about
himself: .sWhen the use of tobacco was
fashionable even among the genteel, in
walking through village, l passed a
store where I knew there we're some
very fine cigars. / was Immediately
seized with laundering SO well known
to habitual smokers. The determine
ton arose to lay out few shillings in
purchasing some. AS had been en-
deayoring to accustom myself to regard
my money as the Lords and myself as
steward, tried the rule in that case.
found myself unwilling to charge such
an item on my account book. A faith
full steward would make no such an
expenditure, thought l. The money
was dropped again into my pocket, and
passed on. have ever found it diff
ficult to smoke cigars since that time
The cure which propose is, to ask the
blessing of God on all expenditures
and try to be faithful steward of the
Lords money" 1t would be a misera
BILE way, indeed, to spend the Lords
money for the vile weed.-Selected.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-01-02
The smoker.

Here is a statement worth consider
ing by every young man who values
his health and strength. The Western
Medical record states that the records
of Yale College during the last eight
years, show that the non smOkers were
twenty per cent. taller than the smok-
ers, twenty-f five per cent. heavier, and
SiXty-siX per cent. stronger in lung ca
pacity. Also, that in the last gradual
ing class in Amherst College, the non
smokers gained twenty-fOur per cent.
in weight over the smokers, thirtysev-
en- per cent. in height, forty-two per
cent in chest girth, and eight and one
third cubic inches in lung capacity.
And it is a significant, striking fact
that the man who, among all the great
leaders and intellectual workers OF
modern times, has most successfully
defied the wear and tear of time, who
has undergone, and still undergoes,
the most tremendous strain, and &C
complishes the most prodiglous amount
of work in all lines-the man who, |
verify believe, has, by his illustrious
and memorable example, heightened
the life of mankind by at least ten
years is one who has never known
even the taste of tobacco. l mean the
Grand Old Man, Mr.. Gladstone, who is
now Prime Minister of England
ion Messenger.

The attention of the readers of this
column is especially called to the arti-
Gle presented this week from the pen of
one of the fair young girls of our loved
State calling upon others to come for
ward in their might and in the strength
of their young womanhood and do
something to save the young men who
are tempted by the wine glass and
many of them ready to yield. She has
written the thoughts and noble senti-
ments of pure, Christian heart, and
in her earnest, tender appeal for help,
is only showing her love for the Mas
ter's work and her gentle sympathy
with suffering, misguided humanity.
Let her not appeal to the young girls
of our State in vain; but let her words
kindle desire in every young woman's
heart to do the Ue1y best she can in this
grand work.
AS the new year dawns upon us, let
us each, turning toward the work, ask
what are our duties, our opportunities
and our prospects
First we must realize the necessity
of putting away everything that would
hinder us in the work. 1t is the Lords
work and we must be vessels meet
for the Masters use," and filled for ev-
cry good word and work. Oh, for the
spirit and the zeal of John Knox as
we go forth in this arduous labor. He
used to say, "How can l sleep and my
country not saved ?"

A Girls Appeal.

To THE GIRLS Over eighteen humid
red years ago the blessed Savior said
to a seemingly dead girl, "Damsel, |
say unto thee, arise" and when she
had arisen He commanded that some
thing be given her 20 eat.
Dear girls, can it be that we too are
in a deathlike stupor and are paying no
heed to Christ's "Isay unto thee arise?"
Now is our time when the terrible de
mon of intemperance is holding, it may
be our loved ones, at least precious
souls in its awful clutches. Yes. we,
the girls of Mississippi, must arise,
arise at Christ's command, and, having
eaten of the delicious repast He offers
us, and being made strong by His prom
Uses of help and guidance, go forth. 1t
is not our work. it is Gods, and in urg-
ing the claims of Temperance we are
surely doing His will The most try
ing time of the year is now at hand;
Xmas, around which should be thrown
a halo of glory and Thanksgiving, is
used by many as a special time for ca
rousal and intemperance.
If we girls rise in body, strong in
Christ's strength, and say, CHOOSE eli
ther the glass of wine or our company,
the companionship of loving friend,
or the so-called pleasure of drink which
at last stingeth like an adder" | firmly
believe many glass would stand un-
touched, and many soul for whom
Christ died be now for Him.
wish some strong bright angel stood
before you just now while you read,
girls, to flash before you as no word of
mine can, the power you possess to
help or to hinder the cause of Temper
ance; to make you feel your response
bility in this matter because you are
girls To shudder at its weight, and to
never cease trying to fulfill it. Doubt
less you have heard a great deal of the
value of your smiles; do you know the
value of your frowns ? | wish | could
make you feel the value of your frown,
and the Importance of knowing just
what to frown upon. What man must
do by blow, woman can do by a
frown. When the time comes that the
young man, who now shares his time
in your society and the saloon, who
Jokes about Temperance i'll your pres
ence, and takes glass socially, now
and then, is made to feel that these
things cannot be if you are to be his
companion at party, ride or at church;
that good society cannot tolerate these
things in its members; in short that
this kind of man is questionable
and unpopular, then Alcohol will
trembie on his throne and the liquor
traffic will hide its cancerOus face.
What stronger plea can be made
Shall we now sit idle while this work
of destruction goes on wiping out all
that is good and godlike in mans ma
ture, replacing it with vice and ruin
No We must not let the young man
hood of our country go to destruction
by our inactivity.
Rise up, girls of Mississippi, girls of
of the United States, and save our be-
loved country.
Fear thou not; for | am with thee;
be not dismayed; for l am thy God, L
will strengthen thee: yea, / will help
thee with the right hand of my right
eousness" n. ?. PRYOR.
