the world" says the Westminster Ga
sette, is the abstaining commune of
Ach lyke, in Siberia, all of whose mem
bers are strict teetotalars every day in
the year but one. Regularly on the
1st day of September, year after year,
all of the adult members Of the COM
mune assemble in the parish church
ana every one takes a solemn VOW be-
fore the altar to drink no wine, beer or
spirits from the morrow of the follow
ing day for whole year. The clause
from the morrow is introduced in order
to give them a reward for their virtues
in the shape Of whole day OF drunken
carnival. AS soon as they leave the
church they begin to indulge in a hor-
rible bacchanalian drinking which
continues throughout the day, until
neither man nor woman in the village
is sober. This is naturally followed oy
considerable physical suffering, and
then by mental remorse, whereupon
the penitent parish enters upon its
twelve months of model sobriety and
live the Rachabites.
The Michigan Christian AdUocate
says, With curious inconsistency the
largest manufacturing firm of whiskey
in this hemisphere refuses to allow an
employe to drink, and has been fight
ing in the courts to prevent man
from having license to sell whiskey in
the town. In Walkerville, Ont, near
Winsor, where 100000 barrels of this
liquor are constantly in stock, there is
no chance to buy, beg or steal, drink.
The motto of the firm of Walker is,
We make whiskey to sell and not to
drink. The result is practically
temperance town. The chief and cent
raj industry is to prepare the way for
intemperance. The owner of the dis
tillery and builder of the town dis
covered years ago that drinking was
hurtful to his employees and to the
community, and put his iron will to the
task of preventing it, but, strangely
enough, he did not allow himself to see
or to feel that the abstinence which his
men and the inhabitants of his town
needed, was needed elsewhere, and he
kept on making what he would dis
charge his men for using. In earlier
days he kept barrel of liquor open
for all his men to drink from freely as
they chose, but the blighting effect be-
came SO apparent, and hence the pro-
hibition regime was inaugurated and
has been rigidlY enforced for years.

A series of experiments made to test
the jaw-force and pulling and lifting
strength of various kinds of insects
gives some curious points for study. 1t
has been found that a cockchafer can
draw IA times his own weight, and the
common honey bee 30 times. From
this it may be argued that, weight for
weight, each of the above-named in
sects is 81 and 30 times, respectively,
stronger than the horse, whose
strength, as a rule, is taxed to it's ut
most in drawing it's own weight as a
dead load" The editor of the St.
Louis Republic once experimental with
a small hard-shelled beetle by putting
him under a common table tumbler.
The little creature, not more than one
third of an inch in length, was able to
move the glass in any direction. After
the experiment had been satisfactorily
made, both the tumbler and the bug
were weighed, whereupon it was found
that the little Hercules had lifted 900
times his own weight! He did not carry
the weight, of course, but caused it to
make some lively motions.
