How Liquor Curses Childhood.

''In the winter of 1871, at the request OF
ihe late Earl OF Shaftesbury, carefully in
vestigated my lists OF rescued children. /
;abulated In various columns the various
.raceable causes, near or more remote,
which led to their becoming candidates for
The homes, and the astonishing fact
emerged that no less than eighty-flve per
cent. OF the children who were admitted
20 the homes under my care owed their So
,ial ruin to the drinking habits of their
parents, or grandparents, or other rela-
lives. / would not now hesitate to af-
arm that of all my young clients, the per-
,entage who are stricken down in life
through the agency of the drink curse is
nearer the very large figures given by the
ate Dr.. Guthrie than the estimate formed
In 1871. DR.. Guthrie stated repeatedly that
no fewer than ninety nine per cent. Of the
children admitted to his ragged schools
were the offspring OF parents whose pow
erty was due to their drinking habits."-

homeless children, as quoted by the Al

Tho Spread of Sohrietx.

While the prohibitionists are busy in de.
tending such statutory coercion as they
have been able to bring to bear upon theiI
fellow citizens, and in demanding further
snactments of the same kind from usually
obdurate legislatures, the cause OF temper
lnce, says the New York Times, is making
but almost unnoticed advances along en-.
tirely different lines. 1t is the business
man that is'waging against rum" the real
campaign, not fierce, not noisy, not emo.
ional, but determined. The business man
does not waste much time in denouncing
lntoxicants, and none in threatening those
who indulge in them with prison; he simply
says, 'If you drink you can not work for
me-" This ultimatum has now been formu.
lated by most of the railways, other cor.
porations are repeating it one after another,
and private employers, commercial and
professional, are fast Joining in enforce
ment of this great boycott against drunk
ards. The effects of the movement are to
be seen in every line Of industry. Now,
whatever may be said about other sorts Of
prohibition, this sort certainly does pro-
hibit. And 1t Is worth noting that the
New York and Queens County Electric
Railroad has just forbidden its motormen
even to live in buildings where liquor is
sold. This goes far beyond any compulsion
ever attempted by the laws of Maine or
Iowa, and YET it excites no complaints that
even the greatest sticklers for personal
liberty" would think of needing.

lightning ON the Washington Monument.
One of the best evidences of the
value of lightning rods up to date has
been afforded by the Washington
Monument. 1t is capped by a small
four-side pyramid of aluminium, which
metal, SO cheap to-day, was very
costly at the time of the building Of
the greatest pyramid the world has
ever known. This aluminium tip is
connected with the ground by four
copper rods which go down deep into
tie earth. On April 8, 1885, five i'm
mense bolts Of electricity were seen to
flash between the monument and a
shundercloud overhanging in the
course of twenty minues. In other
words the monument was struck
fercely five times, but it suffered no
damage whatever. On June Is of the
same year more tremendous assault
was made upon the monument from
the heavens, and the result was
fracture of one of the topmost stones.
The crack still remains to show what
nature can do in the way of an cleo.
trical shock, but the slightness of the
damage is evidence of mans power to
protect himself from such attacks.
The obelisk is ideally located for at.
tracting electrical assaults from the
skies, and yet, while many times hit.
it has suffered only once, and that
time to a trihing extent. Boston

A curious experiment has recently

which 1900 shoemakers were bidden,

The trial lasted for month, without
a moment off. The shoemakers were
divided into two bodies, one for day
work and the other for night work
They had in attendance forty workmen
ready to repair the machines in case
of any temporary breakdown. During
the four weeks the 1900 shoemakers
produced, by working day and night

Sale of Beer at Immigrant stations.

1t is encouraging to read the report OF
the Government committee appointed to
consider the advisability Of doing away
with the sale of beer at immigrant stations
The committee is emphatic in favor of
abolition. Testimony is quoted to the ef-
tect that 1t Is q common sight for young
immigrants to be very much the worse for
liquor on the afternoon of the morning on
which they landed, though they had not
been out OF the immigrant station. The
parties having the monopoly of the sale of
provisions at the Barge Office, New York
City. it is said, in spite of the promises
which they have made again and again,
are selling no tea, coffee or milk, though
women and children are kept there for
hours. The sale of beer is the profitable
traffic, and nothing but beer is to be had.
Every prominent official at the New York
Barge Office agrees that st would be far
better" II this sale were stopped. DR.. Sen
ner. the Chief Commissioner, Alderman and
not total abstainer, declares that all the
trouble he had with his employees there
arises from liquor. Mr.. McSweeny, the
Assistant Commissioner, says that II he
had his way, not a drop more would be
sold. The testimony of the missionaries at
work there is Of course strongly on the

Alcohol and tho Death Rate.

An official inquiry into the comparatively
larger increase in the Tartar population OF
the city and government of Kazan has. nc.
cording to the Kamsko Volshkl Krai
brought out some remarkable facts as to
the effect Of alcoholic indulgence on the
death rate. The Kazan Tartars, number
Ing about G40,000, have rate of mortality
OF only q in 1000, while the mortality
among the Russians is 40 In 1000. The
general conditions among orthodox Rms
slams and Mohammedan Tartars are prac-
tically the same. except In so far as per
sonal habits are concerned. The medical
investigation leaves no room for doubt that
the lesser mortality of the Mohammeda
Iartars is directly due to their abstinence
from spirituous liquors, in which the Rus.
slams indulge reely.-Medical Record.
