DANGERS OE DRINK.

My individual testimony is infinitesi-
NAL as compared with the testimony
of generations of public observers, of
statesmen, of statlsticians, of scientific
and religious teachers and thinkers that
there is no crime producing agency that
anywhere approXimates the liquor traf-
fic in its dreadful efficacy. | am not a
prohibitionist, nor puritan, nor a
member of church, but no man with
eyes in his head and with the least par
ticle of heart or conscience can fail to
realize the danger and handicap that in
temperance is TO our Anglo-SaXon civili-
cation. especially when it does its work
on our nervous American organizations.

And over the rush of the train.

And kiss him again!
There's no one to bore or to bother,
There's no one TO call and to stay;

Are ours from today.
This quaint little parlor-how pleasant
Its flavor of hong ago lifel
But the crown of its life is the present,
My darling, my wifel
The pleasant wood fires glowing steady.
The table is set and for two,
The little white table all ready
For me and for you.
Do you think that l ever shall bore you?
VIII you ever be angry with me?
All, l.. t me sit still and adore you
While you pour out the tea!
I'll help you. No boasts will utter,
But you see how domestic l am
1 can cut you your thin bread and butter
And hand you the jam.
After tea we will stroll down the meadow
BY moonlight, as true lovers should,
And kiss in the corner of shadow
You see by the wood.
One kiss Now my teacup is carried
To the place that's laid opposite you.
My wife pours the tea Quit We're mar
Oh, can it be true?

GENTLY considered point in a recent com
municatiOn to The Lancet DR.. Hood
gives his experience as to the value CT
carbonate Of lime in the form of cal
cined oyster shells as a means of arrest
ing the growth of cancerous tumors,
and, although his opportunities for en-
ploying it III test cases have not been
large, the results attained by its use are
characterized as having proved satisfac-
tory in high degree Several instances
are named i'll which a persevering use
of the calcined shell powder arrested
the growth and pain in tumors undoubt-
eddy Of a cancerous character. Where
the nature Of the affection is early rec
ognized, persistent trial of this meth
cd is pronounced very desirable, among
other points mentioned i'll its favor be-
ing that of entire harmlessness and nom
interference with any other remedies
resOrted to for the relief of pain. The
oyster shells for this purpose may be
conveniently baked in home oven
and the calcined white lining of the
concave shell scraped off, the substance
thus obtained being then reduced to a
powder, and as much as will lie on a

LEGATIONS TO BACCHUs.
By Rev. S. B. Dunn.


Bacchus was the old NEUROLOGICAL
god of wine. In his honor libations
were poured out to him.
Is it considered, as seriously as it
ought to be, what costly libations are
being offered to the modern Bacchus of
the Drink God? Is Christian America
repeating the folly and wickedness of
pagan Rome?
What are these libations? Cleopatra,
queen of Egypt, it is said, once dissolved
in vinegar a pearl from her earring
worth one hundred aid fifty thousand
dollars, and pouring it into wine-cup,
drank it in honor of the Roman Antony
whom she was seeking to win!
And is it remembered that men are
swallowing with their wine health,
wealth, reputation, happiness and hope,
to find among the dregs pain, poverty,
remorse and death? The worship of
Bacchus is costing us too much.
! 1t would seem that this bacchanalIan
revelry is just now at its height; for
never before was wine-drinking so
prevalent. The devotees of the drink
were never so numerous. And the dire
results are seen everywhere in ruined
men, in stricken homes, in rampant
crime, in debauched political life and
in the arrest of religious activity.
And yet signs are not wanting that
the hour of doom has struck, as at
Belshazzar's feast. The Drink is
doomed. Fingers of mystic hand are
forecasting its final overthrow. Some
signs of the times are hopeful to the
cause of temperance. More than one
little cloud Is rising out of the sea indi-
eating a rainstorm that shall wash out
the idolatry, not of Baal, but of Bacchus.
The mercury column of our hope is ris.
ing a careful observer of public events
cannot fail to notice numerous move
ments now on foot for the mitigation,
control and suppression of intemper-
ance; all tending to show an awakening
of the public mind on this question,
and encouraging the belief that a
brighter day is not far distant.
The thing needed Just now is Help
Men OF Israel, help" was the cry of
old. 1t is the cry today. Let good men
and true rally. Success can not be won
unless the linen of Israeli help. If a
gigantic evil like intemperance is ever
to be got under it will not be by isolated
effort; nor by an impulsive philanthropy
that wakes up at some alarm to lapse
into slumber, like Samson in Delilah'
= lap; nor yet by any tinkering legislation
that is intended as a sop to satisfy a
sectional clamor for "something' to be
done, but which fails to strike at the
root of the evil. Help and hope can
come only from an enlightened, robust
and determined moral sentiment, SEN
timent that will work for redress as
we'll as weep over the wrongs it com.
bars, sentiment grounded on convic.
ton OF the right and sacredness of our
cause, and a sentiment that can wait
for sure though a tardy success.
