WHAT THE DOCTORS SAT-.

The National Temperance Hospital has
issued leafet, entitled "Alcohol In Medi-
cine; What Physicians Say" which contains
some interesting information.
During the summer OF 1894. claim was
made that alcohol was necessary as solvent
for medicines and to prepare the field OF
operations in capital surgical cases" a
letter WAS authorized by the Board OF Trus-
tees OF the National Temperance Hospital,
and addressed to number OF surgeons and
physicians Of high repute In the city OF Chi
cago, asking whether they so considered 1t
necessary, and what they used as anti
septics. The following are culled from re-
plies received:
DR.. S.-Prepares medicine without alco-
hol; does not use 1t as a preserving agent,
having found 1t unnecessary.
DR.. Els unalterabiy opposed to the use
Of alcohol; can cover the field pretty we'll
without 1t.
DR.. B.-Sees no great need Of alcohol In
surgery.
Dr.. MI never use any OF the prepara-
tions of alcohol as an antiseptic; rarely ever
prescribe tincture: The tablet form is much
more valuable and certain"
DR.. S.-Does not consider 1t indispensable.
Has found 1t possible to have medicine
properly compounded without 1t.
: DR.. W. (Pharmao1st)- ''Should a ply
sician choose to practice medicine without
alcoholic preparations. I do Lot think the
task so very great If the question Is given
little study"
DR.. T..Does not use alcohol. ''The
patient cannot possibly get any toxic or
medicinal effect from alcohol"
DR.. Sarah Hackett Stevenson, President
of the hospital staff, says: II do not think
1t necessary to use alcohol. Tablet trturates
are better than tinctures."

TOO MICH RELIGION ?

The Rev. Sydney Smith, in his celebrated
article on Methodism, in the Edinburgh Re-
view saws, among other things: "The
Methodists are always more desirous OF max
ing men more religious than it 10 possible,
from the constitution OF human nature, to
make them" Even should we grant that this
charge were true, we could notregard it as be-
ing very grave evil. The desire for making
men superlatively religious, or even extra
superlatively, must certainly be virtue. II
people in general lad this desire, the world
would without doubt be better place to live
in. We fear that, in these days at least, the
charge is not sufficiently true. Would THAI
there were a more eager desire on the part or
Methodists to press men on to the extreme
limits of Righteousness! What those limits are
we think it would be- hard to define. We have
an idea that there has never been any one OF
mortal men who has touched the topmost round
of conceivable attainment. never anyone, ex-
cept Jesus, 80 good but that he might have
been little better. Sidney Smith had an
apprehension that people would be driven
insane by too much piety. AS we look at the
matter, the danger is altogether on the
other side. At least MIN times out OF ten 1t
is too little religion rather than too much
that renders people crazy. Our civilization
can safely stand very much larger infusion
OF Methodism than it has at present. and
Methodism can safely stand very mucR
larger infusion Of burning enthusiasm.

THINK CALMLY AND CLEARLY.

It is easy to think Of our neiShbor dying,
but the vital instinct within us steadily re-
pels the prospect from ourselves; and 1t IS
often necessary to summon reason 10 our
rescue, and to think calmly and clearly about
it. if we would actually face the thought that
the wings of the Angel of Death are hover
ing over our bed, even ours. The young are
sometimes impatient to die; the old are often
content to die; but men in the prime OF lie
mostly wish to live. And even the Christian
NAV desire to live, without in any wise dis
honoring the Master, who says, when he
sends for Him. "Come up hlther.
It is not that he doubts that heaven
once gained would be a sufficient
recompense, that Christ once seen and
adored would be worth more to his soul than
wife and children and friends. But as we
grow older our sense of the preciousness Oh
life grows. There are plans we wish to ac-
complish, or books we wish to write, or
friends we wish to influence, or children we
wish to rear TO many OF US health 1s capl-
tal. To all Of US life is talent never TO De
reeained. It is true that, if we are to so,
Willingness to go is mercifully given to US A.; 1t
also true that, when we are spared, our lofe
of life, as we'll as our love OF God, fills US with
thankful joy. There will be blessed service
in heaven, but there will be no more going
out after lost sheep in the wilderness, so lar
as we know; the brightness OF the crown Will
he won. and our work here over. when our
feet have once been planted within the para
disc of God.-Bishop Thorold, in ION Being

The Water Tree.

NJ. Ducharte recently made known
10 the French Academy OF Sciences
the results OF an experiment made by
M. Maxine Lecompte in Congo upon
a tree of the genus Musenga. Upon
making incisions in the trunk OF it
and placing pail at the foot OF the
tree, more than ten quarts OF pure
water collected in thirteen hours. The
gorillas, it seems. are in the habit OF
shaking their thirst at these hidden
fountains, and regulate the flow OF
liquid at will by pulling of different
sized branches. Many years ago DR..
Wallich found in the province OF.
Martaban, Africa, plant belonging
to the same natural order, whose soft
and porous wood discharged, when
wounded, a very large quantity OF q
pure and tasteless fluid, which was
quite wholesome, and was used as q
beverage by the natives. This plant
was named by DR.. Wallich the water
vine, and has been placed in the gem
us Phytocrene, which signifies "plsnt
fountain" These plants form re-
markable exception to the usual char
acter of the order, which embraces
species that produce milky Juice.
such, for example, as the celebrated
cow tree, of South America, which
yields copious supply of rich and
wholesome milk, as good as that OF the
COW, and used for the same purpose.

RELIGIOUS READING,
TBR GROWING CENTURY.

We are living in the closing decade OF the
rreatest century of our era. Faith and un-
faith have contended in the arena Tor the pre-
cedence.s Faitl has al immense backing II
her great past. That past forms presump'
ton in her favor. The system which can live
through the changes and storms OF elSnteen
centuries must be presumed to have IN IL the
seeds of Immortality. What is more remark
able than this is the continuous growth OF the
cause through 80 many ages. In our own CEN
tury the increase has been more than IN seVe-
raj earlier ones. 1t is the missionary century.
The doors OF the nations have opened. Inc
area of Christendom has vastly expanded.
The Dark Continent and the isles OF the
seas are extending their hands TO the hprt pi,t
Jesus. All has not been accomplished, but
noble beginning has been made toward
the worlds evangelization. In these great
wears unbelef has taken upon itself TO pro-
claim a pessimistic Gospel and the decay
and failure of Christianity. These men
have often called themselves scientists and
philosophers. Their misconcepti0n OF the
GOSPEL dscredits their assumptions OF WIS.
dom. Not to know the advance OF the Gospel
is to assert their own blindness and narrow
understanding. The age of miracles IN q
new form has been renewed. In its material
interests and moral enterprises the world mas
made greater advances in ours than In the
eighteen preceding centuries, and oil this
has been the creation of Christian thought
and enterprise. Christianity is the leverage
which is lifting the world to q higher plane.
Who ever speaks q word against such
scheme is speaking against truth and reason.
Christianity speaks for itself, aud furnishes
its own best evidence. The Gospel has
never failed to rebuke those who have riser
against it.

A Campaign Trick.

The following story is told by Ed
ward J. McDermott in an article en-
titled "Fun on the Stump" in the Gem
tury:
A few years ago plain country
doctor and a Mr.. May who was fond OF
jewelry and wore valuable diamond
stud in his shirt bosom were running
for the Legislature in one of our
counties. The race was close and hot.
At one speaking the doctor made the
following fierce and dangerous thrust
at his opponent: "Fellow citizens,
don't you want an honest man in the
Legislature? OF course you do. Now
what sort of man is my opponenta
Why, gentlemen. look at that magnif-
icent diamond he wears! It is almost
as big and bright as the headlight on
q locomotive. Your eyes can hardly
stand it's glare. It is worth hundreds
may be thousands-of dollars. At
what valuation do you suppose he has
put it for taxation in his return to
the State assessor? Why, at the pitt
full sum of twenty dollars! !" The crowd
| yelled for the doctor. Three days
later the two met again in joint de-
| bate. Again the doctor took up his
telling theme, and held forth elo-
quently and passionately in denuncia-
ton of dishonesty and diamonds. and
false statements; and then he again
told OF Mays false return to the as
SCISSOR. 'Iook at that gorgeous pin.
gentlemen! My eyes can hardly en-
dure it's dazzling rays. Solomon in sli

"Hold on there, doctor" !" said May.
sDo you mean to say this pin is worth
more than twenty dollars?"
eyes, I do-twenty times or hfty
times twenty dollars J" 4
"Would you give twenty dollars for
it, doctor?"
"Of course would"
"Well, you can have it for that.
Gall right!" said the doctor, and
he hurriedly counted out the money
and took the pin. Then May rose to
speak, and the crowd cheered him
He was undoubtedly "game" and hon
est. He was willing to take what he
said the Fin was worth. He was elect
ed. A week after the election he
called on the doctor and said: ''Doc-
tor, T don't want to rob you Of your
money. Here's your twenty dollars.
That pin you bought was paste. got
it in Louisville after your first speech.
Here is nv real diamond. IT l can

TRUE IN ALL COMMUNITIES.

When temperance advocates want facts
and figures to use in their warfare they do
not need to 20 far to find them. The ar2u-
ments against the many-sided traffic are only
too abundant. The Ohio State Board OF
Pardons has lately recommended that aosti'
nence from the use OF Intoxicating liquors be
a condition of pardon. The Board has
learned that sin nearly every case OF crime
against the person the offender was either
under the influence Of liquor. or became in.
volved in IN affair by reason OF being IN
place where intoxicating liquor was sold."
What is true Of criminals In Ohio Is true OF
criminals in all liquor communities.

Shot Long Ago.

While cutting down an old oak tree
at the residence on the Eucina or
chard north of town yesterday. says
the visalia (CaL) Times, G. 8. Riley
found leaden bullet imbedded in the
body Of the tree four feet from the
ground. The bullet must nave been
shot into the tree many years ago. Tor
there were twenty-four rings OF wood
growth over it and no sign of the path
Of the bullet in those rings. The
lead showed a pow erlul impact, and
it was over eleven inches from the out
side of the tree.

REpEEMER's LOVE.

Water may cleanse your fine linen from
stain, but it has never the same whiteness as
before it was soiled. The injured picture
may be repaired, and show the artists skill
in its renewal, but it is not the same picture
as before. The vase may be broken and
cleverly mended, but 1t is cracked vase to
the end of time. And although through the
love and power, OF God, life of sin cleansed
and renewed is used by Him for great and
noble work-calling out praise at his grace
which can thus put together shattered broken
lives, able to hold heavenly treasure, yet 1t
can never be to all eternity the same for US
for any one-as If we had not sinned. The

THE BEST OF TESTIMONY.

Judge Noah Davis says that his nHperl-
ence for a score Of years on the bench is that
eighty per centum OF all the crimes that
came before him would not have come had
1t not been for the traffic in alcoholic liquor.
Doctor willard Parker, one OF the ablest
physicians New York has ever had. in his
preface to the lectures OF Doctor B. W. Rich
ardson, said that the liquor traffic is re-
soonsible for thirty-fye per centum OF idiocy.
forty-ire per centum Of lunacy, eighty per
centum OF crime. ninety per centum OF
pauperism, and ten per centum OF all deaths
Apply that to New York City and it means
that last year the liquor traffic is irresponsible
for the birth OF scores OF idiots, 400 lunattcs,
the sending Of 76.0 900 men and women to jail,
the pauperizins Of 10000 families, and for
1000 denths.-Rev. DR.. !. K. Funk.

FREE LUNCH IN SALOONS.

srFree lunches!' exclaimed Chauncey NJ.
Depew to New York Sun reporter. well.
did say something about free lunches. didn't
I? And II I'm not mistaken, l referred to
them as ingenious preparations too. Well,
they are. Now. seriously, although these
poor people have twisted my remarks into
all sorts OF shapes, I meant all that said
about young men becoming slaves to drink.
It's a terrible thing, and I think the free
lunch Is largely responsible for it. It's a
most ingenious contriyauce. and do you
know that it's simply put In place to make
a man thirsty? Yes, sir, I tell you that the
free lunch is composed OF food OF such a
character that it keeps a man thirsty, and
forces him to buyliquor to keep himself com.
Portable. It is made up Of picked herring,
corned beef, fish cakes. salted potatoes,
pretzels cheese, smoked beef, potato salad,
and dozens of other dishes the main ingred-
lent of which is salt. And as sure as man
eats free lunch, just so sure will he be a
drinking man. unless he is possessed OF rare
self-control. Why, I tell you the free lunch
Is more to blame for the number OF drunkards
around than anything else. A man takes
drink and bite. The bite makes him thirsty,
and the drink makes him hungry, and many
a man who would leave saloon after bav-
ing imbibed one drink will stick all day as
long as the free lunch Is there. It isn't the
drink that keeps him. but the ingenious
makeup Of the free lunch. and that's why I
say it's blotch on civilization and should be
wiped out.
.'Perhaps you wonder how know all this.
I'll tell you. travel a great deal, and

REACH INTO OTHER LIVES.

Every ones real life consists in his reach
into other lives. Whoever is completely iso-
lated is like an uprooted plant, dying or dead.
Whoever shares in the experiences OF others
helps them to be true and to make the best OF
what they have, strengthens their faith i'll
God and love to men, lives and grows. Bear
ing one another's burdens is the law of Christ.
He touched those who needed him. he
taught theignorant. He fed, healed, cheercd,
loved and inspired those with whom he lived.
His law wrote itself into the lives OF his dis
ciples. See it in their words: Look not
every man on his own things, but every man
on the things of others See it in their
deeds. Silver and gold they had none, but
such as they had they gave. Wealth abounded
where they went because they gave them
selves. They were rewarded with hundred
fold more in this present life. 10 such mer
life is rich and they are always in demand.
