Fruit VS.. Alcohol,

writer in an European temperance
Journal calls attention to the value OF
fruit as an antidote to the craving for
liquor. He says: In Germany, n nation
greatly In advance OF other countries In
matters relating to hygiene, alcoholic dis
ease has been successfully coped with by
the adoption OF pure diet and natural
curative agencies. | have said that tho uso
OF fresh fruit is an antidote for the drink
crave, and this is true. have met working
men who have told me that fruit has often
taken away the crave for drink: met q
clergyman recently, who assured me that
diet consisting largely of fruit had taken
entirely away an hereditary craving that
had troubled him for years. 1t may be
asked, how can fruit aud pure diet do all
this? The explanation is simple. Fruit
may be called natures medicine. Every
apple, every orange, every plum and every
grape is Il bottle OF medicine. An orange
Is three parts water-distilled in natures
laboratory-but this water Is rich in
peculiar fruit acids incidentally balanced,
which are specially cooling to the thirst OF
the drunkard, and soothing to the dis
eased state OF HIS stomach. An apple or
an orange eaten when the desire for "a
glass arises would generally take II
away, and every victory would make less
strong each recurring temptation. The
function OF fresh fruit and succulent
vegetables is-not so much to provide
solid nourishment as to supply tho needful
acids and sallnes for the publication OF
the blood. Once get the blood pure, every
time its pure nutrient stream bnthes the
several tissues OF the body, 1t will bring
away some impurlty, and leave behind an
atom OF healthy tissue, until In time the
drunkard shall stand up puriled-in his
right mind.

Ruined by Rum.

The list OF persons who have killed them
selves because they have been ruined by
rum is a long one, and the list OF those who
have killed themselves by rum is much
longer. Every day persons who have
spent all their money In buying rum hang
themselves, or make way with themselves
by other methods; every day such persons
are taken to insane asylums, almshouses
and prisons; every day they are discharged
from situations; every day they receive
wounds without cause; every day their wives
and children, in some cases their husbands
and children, are made wretched by the
spectacle Of their drunkenness. Never
theless, the people OF the United States
look with favor upon the saloon, because
i keeps down taxes.-Tho New York

A single young man heard the bann,

more frequent than usual that season,
for the ordinary announcement seemed
to make an impression on him. Al

pegrading to the IntelIectual Lie,

Suppose a student on his walk to school
should be assaulted by a ruffian that
seized his books, tore them to rags,
smashed his instruments and flung his
manuscripts in the gutter, would you not
be entitled to denounce him as q rufflan
who had no regard for intellect or culture?
But II instead of attacking the tools OF n
scholar, his assaiiant should attack his
brain, stupefy the organ of thought and
feeling, and paralyZe every intellectual
power, would not the injury be infinitely
greater? Drink is such degrading enemy
to the intellectual life.

articles, the principal one in question
in the present war being coal.
The Italian chamber OF deputies
has decided that coal is not contra
band OF war. The United States
government holds that it is. A de-
cision by the powers may be neces-
sary in order to settle the question.
During our civil war England took
strong grounds on the subject and
made bo,h parties to the conflict
aware that coal was decidedly contra
band. Neither union nor confeder-
ate steamers could obtain a cargo OF
coal in English ports. When in 1864
a confederate warship went into Hall
FAX with her fires about out, she was
allowed to take just enough coal to
reach the nearest friendly port. A
careful computation was made from
her log and steaming record and
the exact amount Of coal required was
weighed out TO her in sacks of 100
pounds each The importance of
neutral power really remaining neu-
tral was proved in the case of tho
Alabama claims, In which England
was obliged TO pay the United States
sl5 100000 for her failure to live I'D
to the neutrality agreements.
