Mr.. MOODY ON REGENERATION.

Moody the other day on regeneration {:

ALCOHOL AND SUICIDE.

At the recent International Congress OF
Psychology, DR.. Muller gave an interesting
historical sketch Of the etiology OF self-mur-
der, and by means Of an elaborate series OF
statistics, traced to alcohol the primary
cause of its marked increase Of late years
The author estimates the number OF suicides
In Europe at $4,000 year, thus showing
that the evil is increasing at O greater rate.

month for suicides Is June, the least. De-
eember; early morning is chosen In prefer
ence to the night, while the mechanic class
furnishes the largest number of subjects and
the peasant the least. DR.. Muller considers
brandy the most pernicious form OF alcohol.
and traces to its influence the bunting OF

Don set out the food, wine included,
that had been brought from the ship.
Uncas accepted the invitation to help
himself, saying, Il have given orders
to have food ready whenwe reach my
house."
That was thoughtful; I am great
worker, but I am also a great eater, !"
said Fox.
When the meal was over, the Captain
asked if there was any man near whom
he could get to carry his bag.
The chief said there was none; and
as he made no offer to help, Fox threw
the burden across his own broad shoul-
ders, and said he was ready to start.
Don took up his own lighter load. and
they went away.
On the road they halted for few
seconds while the chief, by means Of
his rifle, pointed out the hill and the
vault in which Capt. Denham was
guarded.

4 PRAYER FOR NEARNEss TO GOD.

Almighty God, we bless thee for the life
that cannot die. Thou hast clothed ue
with a body which We must shed; it must
return to the dust, but the soul which
thou didst fashion in thine image shall live
forever. The soul is blinded by the body.
The body often overwhelms the spirit, but
the body is only for moment, its con-
quests cannot endure. Help US to claim
our better selves, our higher manhood,
and to live in all thought and feeling that
is uppcrmost and therefore nearest God: We
have often sinned against thee with the body
when we did not mean to ain against
thee with the soul. Save us, o G irist, from
ourselves. Save US from our sepses, and
may we live and move and have our being
in thee. Our burden is heavy, but it is only
for day. Give US Joy in these thoughts.
Deliver US from despair and all manner Of
humiliating fear. May we stand in the sub
Unity OF trust and work in all the. tender
ness OF childlike obedience. Lord, hear our
prayer and let our cry come unto thee
Amen.

RUM IS A PLAGUE,

Alcoholism is the plague of many NORTH
ern climates, and we are not without partioi-
pating in its dire influences. 1t should not
be allowed to escape our vigilant attention,
for 1t is the ruin OF health, Of society and OF
q nation. The fates point to the gloomy
picture OF ancient times, but the experience
OF the past does not seem to have succeeded
in roofing out this terrible evil, which is the
harbinger and entertainer OF the greatest
part OF all crime and vice. Alcoholism has
for its share more than half the occupants Of
our prisons, hospitals and lunatic asyiums.
Under such conditions as these, and with
such dreadful results, we pay too dearly the
money that enters the Golfers OF the State or
municipality under the title of tax or license.
1t is simply speoulating on vice. on ruin OF
wealth, he,lth and talents. and such epecula-
lion Is in no wise iustiHable and shonld not
be tolerated under any consideration. By
every means in our power this plague should
be opposed and II possible exterminated, II
Ia more deadly than contagious diseases
and Is more difficult to deal with. The
problem is one for serious study and pains-
taking measures. Orphans Bouquet.

Italy's Leaning Towers.

Most cleaners of the wonderful con-
slider the leaning tower of Pisa to be
something unique in architecture.
This is an error, however, for there
are two others in Italy and several in
other European cities. The two at
Bologna are the most remarkable.
One of them is 321 feet in height and
leans over Six and q half feet from the
perpendicular, and the other IS 161

The Needs of Indians Few.

The Government has shown an ex-
traordinary generous spirit in appro.
priating $1,000 to buy provisions TO,
the Yuma Indians this season. The
Mesa Free Press says the masnanimity
of this act will be apparent when it is
remembered that there are 5000 In
dians or more on the Yuma reserva-
tion. The economy of the Indians in
the matter of food 1s proverbial, and
therefore it is quite likely that 5000 o.
them can feast comfortably on $4,000
worth of provisions until next crop

may mean that Weyler is to be sent

General Weyler is using every

Atlanta, Oct. 28.-The legislature
had rather unimport&nt day of it.
The members are getting down to
business, however, and lively sessions
are promised from now on.
The bill prohibiting the taking of
"possums" during the mstlng season
was passed by the house. The pro-
soribed limit is from March l to Octo-
ber l. Pope Brown, who is a pros
pective candidate for governor, cham
pioned the measure. The bill wac the
standing joke of the last gession, and
was killed By the lndicrous light in
in which it was always considered.
The debate of the day was over the
Fielder bill regulating the levy of ex-
eeutions on real estate, which was fin
ally tabled, pending the perfection of
other legislation, deemed necessary
before its passage.
The house passed the bill making
the stenographer Of one judicial cir
cult ineligible for election in another.
The senate killed the bill requiring
building and loan associations, bond
Gnd mortgage companies and other
similar institutions to make Q deposit
of $4,000 with the state treasurer.
