A TERRIBLE RESPONSIBILITY.


Danger of Allowing Alcohol to BE Taken
by Children of Nervous Temperaments.
In a recent lecture by DR.. Banbam,
Sheffield medical school, occurs the fol-
lowing:
again, the public mind is still to be
awakened to the danger of allowing
alcohol to be taken by the children OF
families in which nervous diseases pre-
yail-in which there is, so to say, a de-
iCctive nervous organization. The eN-
istence in a family of epilepsy, drunk
enHess, insanity, or even the milder
disturbances of neuralgia, sick head
ache, or hysteria, would lead any eau
tiOus doctor its members
entire absence from alcohol. DR.. Say
age, whose opinion upon insanity Is
universally respected, says that every
variety of insanity may be started by
drink, and that it is a very prolific agent
in causing insanity. DR.. Maudsley, in
his Pathology of the Mind, deals large
ly with the transmitted craving for al
cohol, and he points out that the ac-
quired disease of the parent is the in
born heritage of the child. Terrible,
therefore, indeed, is the responsibility
attaching TO the parents who allow al
cohol to be taken by their children,
when a tendency to drunkenness and
nervous diseases has already revealed
itself in their families"

Two kittens were born in large
warehouse. THESE kittens were very
frolicsome and became general favor
ties. One day the men employed could
not find the two kittens. They hunted
and hunted, but found no trace of them.
about four weeks afterward it was
necessary to tear away T. part of the
platform in front of the building. TO
the surprise of the workmen. under
tfis platform was a rat trap; and in
the rat trap were the two kittens. Their
mother had found the and had nour-
ished them AZ the time they were in
the trap. They had grown so large
that they were very much crowded in
their tiny wire house, from which the
men soon liberated them.-Outlook.

ESTABLISHED PRINCIPLES.
A Setting Forth of Facts That Should
Make OF Every Person a Foe of Alcohol

l. Alcohol is a poison, and IS always
injurious to persons in health.
2. Alcohol is the result of fermenta-
ton, and is the same intoxicating arti-
Gle, whether in brandy, rum, whisky,
or in wine, beer and cider.
3. Alcohol is more fruitful source
of disease and death than any other
known cause whatever. From the tes-
timony of physicians and from reliable
sources it is ascertained that fully 100,-
600 persons die annually in the United
States from this cause alone.
4. Alcohol is the prolific source of
poverty, insanity, and crime. Three
fourths of the crimes are attributed to
this source, as is also the arrangement
of above one-half of the inmates in in
sane asylums. There is much force in
the moral of this old fable: "A man had
the choice of committing the least of
three Offenses-murder, robbery, drunk
cnness. lie chose the latter, got drunk,
and then committed the other two"
5. Alcohol is an indigestible, unnutri-
tious substance. This has been dbund-
antly proved. 1t is adapted to no part
of our system; it passes the stomach
unchanged, and runs rapidly from one
point to another, irritating and inham-
ing each, and rejected by each. So
quickly does it diffuse itself that the eff
fects of a single glass of wine may al
most immediately be seen in the deli
cate blood vessels of the eve Gin had
had been extracted pure from the brain.
6. Alcohol costs the country in money
expended upon S. 200, OOO,OOO
These are some of the established
facts. How can any conscientious in
dividual, in view of these facts, counte-
nance OF aid many way the manufacture,
sale, or use of alcohol as a beverage in
any of its forms National Tenn
perance Advocate.

TEMPERANCE.
A FAMILY CUSTOM.

How the Aristocratlc Mrs. Nevers Came
~ to Danish Wine from Her Table.
Il was brought up to have wine on
the table," said aristocratic Mrs. New
ers, land l have kept up the custom in
my household. Boys will never fall
into the habit of drinking too much if
they always have wine and brandy as
free as water"
Nevertheless, Mrs. Nevers' oldest son,
Robert, the pride and hope of the fam
lily, did fall into dissolute ways, to the
extreme modification of his lady moth
er. Yet, when a great temperance re-
former came to the city, and Robert
became interested in the meetings, Mrs.
Movers said to her beautiful only
daughter, Alice:
81 hardly know whether l would
rather have Robert drunkard or have
him speak at one of those common
meetings."
1T is very common indeed to get
drunk, MOTHER" said Alice. "A few
days ago as l was walking down Main
street l saw my brother Robert on Ex-
change corner turning a hand-organ
while drunken negro danced"
"Alice!"
81 did, mother, and 1 held up my head
and walked on, saying to myself, this
is the beautiful fruit of the aristocratic
old family custom of having wine at
table"
"Alice!"
81 know you are Mortified, mother,
so was l, but that was what said. |
have inherited much of the family
pride, and it would be the proudest
day of my life to see Brother Robert
leading this reform that is stirring
the whole city"
And have his name in the Times as
one of the pledge-signers, suppose?"
certainly, mother"
"And have him lead Gospel temper
ance mass-meetings, and sing, per-
haps?"
"Why not? If he is converted to
the Gospel of Christ hope he may have
the courage to live it and proclaim it.

The curious vernacular known as
Pidgin English is a strange mixture of
English, Chinese and Portuguese, and
IS used by most of the natives of Hong
Kong and other Chinese ports in their
intercourse with foreigners. Its basis
consists in turning the consonants "r'
into ''i'' and ~" into 3d." adding a
final zee" to most words, and
above all, the constant use of the word
''pidgin," which means business in the
most extended sense of the word. Not
long since a gentleman in Hong Kong
was interrupted by his servant, boy
of IA, who rushed into the office in an
excited manner TO inform his master
mat his wife had presented him with
daughter. He gracefully and deli.
cately made the announcement in Pid-
gin English in these words: missy

ROBERT TURNS THE HAND-ORGAN
WHILE A DRUNKEN NEGRO DANCES

WHILE A DRUNKEN NEGRO DANCES.
He has fine address and melodious
voice; how could he put them to better
account than to become a leader of
men?"
81 do not know, child, but suppose
my pride must be humbled."
The next mornings papers chron-
icled the fact that handsome Robert
Nevers, the most popular young So
ciety man in the city, had been Gonvert-
ed at the meetings, had signed the
pledge, and spoken at some length and
very eloquently from the platform.
Il shall go tonight" cried Alice with
animation. Say, boys" to her broth
ers. 'let us all go and lead the applause.
never was so happy in my life;" and
as her brother Robert at that moment
entered the breakfast room perfectly
sober for the first time for months, she
threw herself into his arms.
MAY L go tonight, Rob, and hear
you speak, and tie on ribbons?"
Certainly, darling, if mother is will
ing. l hardly expected follower in
my own family" replied the young
man, much touched at this exhibition
of genuine feeling.
"Oh, l am willing for anything" re-
piled the mother.
"And we are all inclined to follow
our lion in taking" said the
younger brothers.
Robert shook hands with them all
around without a word, and, turning
to his mother, said:
Then, mother, dear, you are willing
to have me remove my quarters from
here to the new temperance hotel?"
For what reason, my SON."
Because l can no longer sit at table
where there is wine"
$50 l am to be vanquished, am 1,
with all my traditions?"
Not at all. l simply announce that
am to leave"
"When it comes to choosing between
my son and the wine, of course there is
but one thing to be said-the wine
must 60"
'What misery we all might have been
saved had you said that years ago,
mother"
So the family custom gave way to
the reign of Gospel temperance. ROB-
ert is still temperance worker, and
dainty Alice and her younger broth
ers are his staunch advocates and sup
porters.
The aged mother in her new peace of
mind says:
''The Lord was good, to save my fam
lily, as brand plucled from the burn
ing, in spite of my determination to
keep up the proud old family customs"

An Odd ControYersY.

The strangest possibility of armed
conflict that the United States has
known is impending in northwestern
Colorado, on the Wyoming border. The
land is fit for little but grazing; the
cattlemen desire it as range for their
herds, while some sheepmen insist that
their tlocks shall Craze there. The cat
tie are satisfied with grass, whether
green or dry, but the sheep are said to
nip the grass roots below the surface
probably because the cattle have left
nothing but roots. There have been
some compromises and agreements, all
of which were soon broken, so now the
two interests are arrayed against each
other, to the extent of several hundred
men organized and armed like military
companies, and each little army is de-
tcrmined that tho other, with its ami
mails, shall go. TO complete the o,ldity
of the situation, the land in dispute
does not belong to either of the parties,
but to the United States. the cattlemen
and sheepmen being alike squatters.-
