A Moderate Drinker Moralizes.

Coming from a man who had drunk
more or less for years, News man was
much astonished to hear him say with
a great deal of earnestness that if he
had his life to live over again he would
never drink drop of liquor. Continu-
ing, he said: II want to tell you that
the boy who begins life in drinking liq-
uor isn't in it and does not realize how
he is throwing himself away.
II suppose 1 have drunk enough in
my life to float small sized vessel, but
l haven't been doing much of it lately.
The truth is, got my eyes open little
too late in life. "
Here was man who had had expert
ence and knew the effects of intemper-
ance. There is no doubt that the drink
ing habit so grows upon a person that
it takes little time in making him dis
solute, purposeless and good for nothing.
The merchant or manufacturer has no
use for such as he; he is not trustwor-
thy, nor is he satisfactory. His entry
into good society is checked, and other
weak habits are so easily acquired that
before he is aware of it he is far below
the level Of decency and respectability.
The young man who does not use liq-
uor is seldom found without a position.
He can surround himself with friends
whose interest in him is beyond the av
erage friendship cemented in the bar
room and pledged over the social glass.
His life is more wholesome and salts
factory.
On the whole, very little can be said
for the use of liquor as beverage.
So don't fritter away your time in
youth and spend later days of your life
in repining over the extravagant waste
of time.
The man who can drink or let it alone
should choose the latter, and he will
find himself better off by far Besides
saving himself from wasted, unfruit
full life he can give to others the benefit
of his example.
There is more satisfaction in spend
ing your money for clothing, boys.
Dress neatly, maintain a good personal
appearance, and you will find that it
will tend to keep your pride on high
plane.
Be manly, be generous, but do not
think you are generous when you spend
your money to crafty the appetite of
your companions in drink. have not
sought to offer this advice from q reli-
gious point of view, but common sense
will tell people that it is good. 1t is
wasted upon him who is welded to a
life Of uselessness and is without ambi-
tion.
Quite temperance sermon, some
will say. but will they also say that the
lesson inculcated in it is not for good?

In the depths of degradation men have dared

But the stern avenging Nemesis will not be

make an extensive canvass for the paper,

A WHITE MANS NOTION.

African Slaves Can't Be Compelled to Fol-
 low the Absurd Innovation.
 Englishmen are apt to confound Af- rican slavery with the forms of slavery known to European nations. One of the curiosities of domestic slavery in Darkest Africa, says St. James Gazette, is that while the native slave owner can, by custom, compel his slaves to fight for him, and possesses other exten- sive powers over them, he cannot ''le- gally" compel his slaves to work for him. On the Congo and it's afluents, native (not Moham1nedan) slave owners pay wages to their own slaves whenever the latter are required to carry ivory and produce to the coast. Even Hippo Tib pays his numerous slave soldiers under such peaceful circumstances. The explanation of this anomalyseems to be that war is a far more ancient and primitive institution than labor When domestic slavery was first in- troduced" into Africa regular labor was unknown; the right to monopolize the slaves labor was therefore never incorporated among the shareholders privileges and prerogatives. It is white men who have really introduced and ac- climatized the idea of work or ''labor'' in Africa. When Pharaoh compelled the children of Israel to work" for him he was considered a dangerous revolutionist by Egyptian conserva- tives. The Spaniards first introduced labor slavery in the western world. We moderns have completely forgotten that the slave was originally in the main a fighting retainer, not a work inrman

A Modern Goigotha.

It is reported that near Currizo Springs, Tex, an oval-topped mound GOV cred with petrifed human skulls has been discovered. The mound is circular in form, about one hun dred feet high, and on one side is joined to a short range of hills of about the same height. On the summit, and for some distance down the sloping side, it is covered with what appear to be smooth, spherical bones, which upon examination prove to be human skulls distorted into grotesque shapes. It is further stated, says the Boston Budget, that by removing the loose dirt and sand from the orifces of the face the unmistakable human counten- ance isrevealed. Bones Of other classes are also said to be found there, and from all appearances the whole mound is formed of human skulls.

From SS Degrees Below In Siberia to 120
 Above in the Colorado Desert.

Above in the Colorado Desert.
 The lowest mean temperature that occurs anywhere, or at any season sn the globe, occurs in January at Werk- ojansk, in northeastern Siberia. Here the mean for the first month in the year is 612 degrees below. For the same period the temperature is 40 de- grees below over the region situated little north of the magnetic pole. At Werlzojansk the thermometer has reg istered over 68 degrees below zero. Going to the other extreme. the Nauti- cal Magazine finds that the atmos- phere of the Colorado river desert has shown maximum of 120 degrees, and this will give a seasonal variation oyer the land of upward of over 200 degrees Fahrenheit, against less than one-third of that range over the water of the At lantic. The comparative constancy of oceanic temperature moderates the eli matological conditions of approximate land masses very considerably and the disparity between summers heat and winters cold is still less marked when the seaboard is swept by warm ocean currents. The mean annual tempera- ture of the BritiGh islands is quite 20 degrees higher than it would be did it's temperature depend upon latitude alone. This is, of course, owing to the influence of the gulf stream, which is calculated to pour into the North Atlantic some thir- ty-eight cubic miles of warm water per Tho %5,,cr Of o,,,.- rent upon the atmosphere of the North Atlantic is best seen by comparing the position of isother1aal lines with the same temperature lines in the South Atlantic. Thus, in the month of Jan nary, tho isotherm of 34 degrees runs in almost a straight line from Boston to Iceland and from Iceland across to the Norwegian coast. At it's most northerly limit it just inpinges upon the arctic circle. Thus, the mean tenn perature of B degrees is found in the coldest month at q distance of 6619 de- grees north of the equator. In the South Atlantic during the month of July, the midwinter month, the iso- therm of 8 degrees is practically iden- tical with the 5Oth parallel of latitude. Contrasting the temperatures for the midsummer months, it will be seen that while in tho South Atlantic the iso- therm of 50 degrees has mean lati- tude of 45 degrees, the same isotherm in the North Atlantic passes over the middle of Iceland, and from there runs in straight line to the north cape of Norway in latitude 73 degrees.
