strange, Sir, isn't it, that an engine

man, and it is not hard work for us

fate of the engine, its long life and con-

often in his lonely hours thought of it,
and wondered how many men would
follow him before the engine began to
break down. 1t did not puzzle me.
That engine worked great many
hours day truly, but it was equable
in its work; it never ran loose; it was
true in its vocation; it was bright as

THE SAFEST PLAN.
Facts and Figures Showing the Wisdom
of Total Abstinence.


Statistical observations made in 1887
among British troops in India gave the
following results: The daily per-
centage of invalids among the mem
bers of temperance societies was 8. 65,
while for the remainder of the troops
it was 1920, or nearly three times as
great The average annual mortality
in England for all ages between Is
and 20 years is about 20 per 1000
Among insured lives it is about II per
1000, while in the Temperance Provi-
dent institution, after the experience
of eight years, and with several lives
about 20 years of age, the average
mortality has been only per 1000
The Briton Life associat ton has made
an annual reduction of ten per cent.
upon the premiums of all who have
been total abstainers for two years. 1t
is question whether an occasional
spree, with entire abstinence between,
would not be less injurious than to be
constantly absorbing alcoholic poison
in small quantities. What is the moral
and the application of these facts?
Just this: An order like ours should
never receive into membership any
who have crossed the line and who
even occasionally drink to excess.
Moreover, the nearer we can come to
the standard of total abstinence the
better it will be. Quality is more inn
portant than quantity. Total abstain
ers are, other things being equal, the
best risks. Total abstinence from all
that intoxicates is the best rule for
everyone. Irish World.

Is so important that you should be sure
to get THE BEST, Hoods Sa1saparilla
has proven its unequaled merit by it's
thousands of remarkable cures, and the
fact that it has a larger sale than any
other s,.rsaparilla or blood purifier
shows the great confidence the people
have in it. In fact it is THE Spring
