The Parrot Was Cured.

The wickedness canal parrot is lg-
norant of is not worth learning. Not
many canal parrots reform; but one did.
His cage hung in front of a canal store;
and as consequence the bird could
swear in a manner to make an ordinary
parrots feathers stand up with horror.
And as swearing is-or used to be-the
chief part of a canal drivers language,
nobody could tell whether the parrot or
driver was talking.
One day boat stopped at the store
land the entire crew, including the
ldriver, went into the building and staid
la long time. This was the parrots OPP
Iportunity The tired horses were left
unattended; so he proceeded to attend
to them.
"Backv' he commanded, with much
swearing.
The horses promptly obeyed the fa-
miliar order.
''Backr' he screamed again, much
encouraged.
They obeyed again, and yet again.
And he kept on swearing and yelling
'Backv until at last the horses tum-
bled into the canal and were drowned.
The parrot laughed a little, but not
much, over the success of his efforts.
And it was noticed that he never swore
after that melancholy affair.
The reason was that the driver wrung
his neck.

To THE MINISTRY AND THE WoMAN's CHRIS
TAIN TEMPERANCE UNION:

The ladies of the W. c.. T. u, of Keene, N.
H., assisted by Rev. G. III. DeBevoise pastor
OF the Second Congregational Church, are do
ing effective, practical Christian temperate
work, by raising funds to assist men in tax
ing the Bchloride of Gold Cure for Alcohol
ism, at kurn Hattin Sanitarium, Westmin-
ster Vt.
. The funds are raised among the business
men and temperance people. who have the
best interests of the community at heart. A
committee and advisory board of the leading
ladies and gentlemen have the matter in
hand, and have met with gratifying success
Several hundred dollars have been raised
Several young men have already been cured,
and have returned free from the appetite
which previous was uncomfortable; others
are taking the treatment, and more are ar
ranging to go-while the work of the w. c.
T. U. goes cheerfully on, the people realizing
that more direct, practical, saving work is
being accomplished than ever before.
What is being done in keene can be accom-
plished elsewhere, and we trust the ministers
and ladies of the w. c. Il. U. throughout New
England will emulate the eyample of their
brothers and sisters in Keene.
j GU may save men by this means, whom
lyon cannot reaeh,by any other; men who on

3 The success Of the treatment at the Kurn
1Hattin Sahitarium is probably the most re-
markabae on record. The methods are scien-
&eaily improving the health, as well as re-
moving the appetite for liquor, while the
moral and Christian influences which are
thrown around the patients while in the in
st1tute, lead many of them to choose Chris
tian life.
We refer, by permission, to Rev. G. H. De-
Bevois OF keene, for confederation of above
facts. We refer also to Rev. Chas. A. Dicken-
son of Berkeley Temple, Boston.
We make special arrangements with the w
c. L. Z. to assist them in their work.
