THE DRINK CURSE.

The Present Evil Is the Natural Heritage
of Generations of Indulgence.
Drunkenness is still so common that
occasionally temperance workers feel
inclined to despair Possibly some of
our methods have not been wise in
trying to uproOt the evil, and it may
be worth while to glance at the his.
tory of our drinking customs. for with
out some knowledge of causes we can
not hope to remove effects.
1t would be d poor explanation of a
tree that said nothing of its roots
Drunkenness is a deadly tree with
many roots, deep and old.
Starting with the early British in
habitantS of this country England -,
we find they knew how to make three
forms of strong drinlt-D metheglin,
or mead, which is made from honey;
{2) ale, which is made from grain; 81
cider, which is made of apples. An
old historian, Diodorus, SAYS of these
Britons. Their ordinary drink was
water. Upon extraordinary occasions
they drank u kind of fermented liquor
made of barley, honey, or apples, and
when intoxicated never failed to quar-
rel"
The British had houses, in which
travellers might find shelter for them
selves and their horses. These were
really inns.
The Romans entered Britain in 43
and remained about three hundred and
fifty years. They introduced wine to
the natives, and the use of the sign
board, which was a bush.
Afterd the Romans withdrew, the
Saxons conquered great part of the
island. They were great drinkers, and
often got drunk upon mead, which an
old poet describes rs "a friend to the
lips and Il foe to the life" We can
scarcely understand now the savage,
coarse brutality of those Saxons.
On one occasion they proposed to
make a treaty of peace with Vortigern
Oy feast. The SaXons made their
British guests drunk, and each
drew his knife and killed his man.
Three hundred British mobiles are said
to have been slain in a state of in
SOXicatiOn on that occasion.

DecEPTiONS OF ALCOHOL.
Varied Forms in Which This Great De-
stroyer Appears to Do His Deadly Work.

Alcohol is the thing which does the
great mischief of which we are trying
to rid ourselves. Easy enough you
say, Just let it alone" Suppose then
you try it. Remember, in the first
place, that it has names and aliases in
Vulnerable, and it is never at loss to
invent new one; and that for thou
sands of years it hid itself so success
fully by its chemical affinity for water
that men used it continually without
even knowing that there was such a
thing. 1t likes secrecy, and perpetrates
most of its mischief under some at
tractive alias We must know some
thing correctly about it to be able to
fight it at all, and we must know much
to fight it successfully.
Armed with some knowledge, you at
tack it in the wine on the table, and
you are told that it is the very essence
of grapes, when it is only the dead re-
mains of those fruits. Then you learn
that alcohol is made by fermentation
or decay.
Tell the poor workingmau that his
beer is more poison than food, and he
replies that he could not possibly do
his work without it, though it is well
known that total abStainers work bet
ter than drinkers.
Ask the sick to dispeas e-.ui+ls it as
medicine, and they will tell you that
the doctor ordered it, and they must
take it or die; when science asserts
that every disease is better cured
without alcohol than with it."
Tell the traveller that alcohol acts
like cold" and he declares that it
keeps him warm; though every win
ter's observations show that drinking
men freeze more quickly thar the sober.
demonstrate with parents for giving
it to their children, and they still
sweeten and feed it with smile say
ing: "We have always done so in our
family, and it has not hurt u.s." with
out thought of the brother, cousin
or uncle that has been made an out
cast through such early training.
When temperance has pledged mil
lions of total abstainers, this deceiving
devil makes up draught specially for
them, under the name of root beer
(Which, indeed, ought to be suspected
for its patronynic), and this runs down
their thoughtless threats and plays it's
alcoholic pranlls all through their de-
ceived organisms, and they only cry
out for more"
Verify, alcohol is lie, and it de-
ceives and makes liars of all the people
that come under its influence, whether
in politics, religion, or in everyday
life.-Julia Colman, in National Tenn
oerance Advocate
