PROTECTED By LAW.

But the saloon is here because the law
gives it right to be. Selling strong drink
is as legitimate business rs selling hard
coal. People curse it, but the law sustains
it. Churches "resolute" against 1t, but the
law props it. Deacops pray for its over
throw, but its support still stands. There it
is, the one prop under it. Blow around on
the outside of it, throw mud at It's doorstep,
condemn its keeper, ostracise his family, lie
awake nights to hate it, but so long as Its
prop is not touched the saloon will not be
touched. Corner Stone.

THE RIGHT AND WRONG BOTTLE.

An exchange recently referred to the
"dreadful mistake" made by an "honored
citizen" who, when reaching for his whisky
bottle In the night, got a bottle Of poison by
mistake, and was found dead with it beside
him. Another exchange of the same date
tells of another man, not an "honored
Citizen" but "tramp," who was found
dead, and beside him bottle. He had made
no mistake in the bottle. 1t had whisky in
it, but he had mistaken just as the "honorei
citizen" had, in yielding to habit which
led to his death.
It is very sad thing to make mistake,
and get the wrong bottle, and die but there
are more people who die Of drinking from
the right bottle than from the wrong one
All the poisons dug out OF the earth. OF
secreted by poisonous reptiles, do not destroy
as many lives as the poisons that drizzle and
drip from the worm OF the still, and which
infect and destroy Nations and generations
The man who gets the wrong bottle Is to be
pitied. the man who gets the right bottle Is
in still greater danger. and is worthy both OF
commiseration and condemnation. Beware
of the wrong bottle, and with it beware OF
all bottles which hold that which intoxicates,
and which, though now it ''moveth itself

LEGAL POISONS.

Alcohol, opium and chloral are all legal
poisons whose tendency Is the descent OF the
human race. All intoxicating drinks IRE
poisonous. The lighter beers and the finest
fermented wines are as truly, though not as
strongly, intoxicating as are the coarsest
spirituous drinks.-Norman Kerr, N. D.

WHAT SHOULD A PREACHER BE !

he should stand as it were, on the watch
tower, like the Hebrew prophets, exhorting
and reproving, breaking down and building
up. boldly rebuking vice and patiently suffer-
ing for the truths sake, helping to sway the
destinies of the nation by upliftingthe banner
OF Righteousness He should be like heavenly
archangel, hurling arrows o: light into dark
and guilty hearts. He should be the enemy of
the oppressor and the champion of the OPP
pressed. Sometimes his words should de-
scend softly as dew upon the sun-scorched
wilderness, and sometimes they should be as
hammer, to dash in pieces the stony heart.
Never should he spare to smlte the hoary
head of inyeterate abuse, but always be ready
to throw the shield of his sympathy over per-
secuted virtue, and never to break the bruised
reed or quench the smoking flax. What
largeness of sympathy, what tenderness OF
compassion, what keenness OF insight what
dauntlessness of courage does the true
preacher require! What passionate and
heart-searching love Of truth, lest, after all,
ne should but be daubing tottering walls
with untempered mortar! All this should be,
and, alas! what Is he? Too often bur-
dened, weary, tiInid and conventional man.

A writer of some prominence (Mr. Pol

glass and drank it all up. Soon he was

holding on by his forepaws.

A NOVEL METHOD OF TtEAT1Se DRUSkARDs

NOVEL METHOD OF TfEAT1NG DRUNKARDs
The way that the authorities treat open
drunkenness in Denmark seems to us in
America somewhat unique. because in this
country the burden of the expense and the
odium is borne by the drunkard's poor wife
and family. In Denmark, however, the
police have invented rather peculiar, but
effective. method of treating excesses by
habitual drunkards. Any inebriate found In
the street Is hustled into cab, taken to the
police station and locked up until he has
grown sober. Then he Is taken to his home
in q cab by the police Next bill is made
out for the repeated transportation OF the
tippler and presented to the saloon-keeper
who sold the offending drunkard the last
glass of beer, wine or liquor. This bill is
ssloon-lieepers are very careful in conse-
quence OF this responsibility, aud will not
sell their customers any more liquor than
they know they can stand.
