fact that touching alcohol there have
been many notable exceptions to your
statement, and that those who openly
teach that its use as a beverage in
any of its forms is not only unneces-
sary, but injurious. are yearly increas-
ing in number, and are, happily. be it
said, amongst the foremost minds in
the profession.
The learned William B. Carpenter,
NJ. D., F. R. S. examiner in physiolo-
gy in the University of London, Prof.
of Medical Jurisprudence in University
College, received one hundred guineas
for the best essay on the use OF al
coholic beverages in health and dis
ease" In the preface thereto he SAYS
he believes il to be in the power OF
the Clerical and Medical professions
combined, so to influence the opinion
and practice of the educated classes,
as TO promote the spread of this prin-
ciple, total abstinence, TO a degree
which no other agency can effect. The
learned physician further states that,
upwards of two thousand of his profess
sional brethren of all grades and de-
grees, from the court physicians and
leading metropolitan surgeons to the
humble country practitioner, signed
the following certificate:
I'VE, the undersigned, are of opin-
ion:
4. That a very large proportion of
human misery, including poverty, dis
ease and crime is induced by the use
of alcoholic or fermented liquors as
beverages.
49, That the most perfect health is
compatible with total abstinence from
all such intoxicating beverages, wheth-
er in the form of ardent spirits, or as
wine, beer, ale. porter, cider, etc.
80. That persons accustomed to such
drinks may, with perfect safety, dis
continue them entirely, either at once,
or gradually.
II That total and universal absti-
hence from alcoholic beverages of all
sorts would greatly contribute to the
health, the prosperity. the morality and
the happiness of the human race"
In the fourth of the Cantor lectures
on alcohol, the learned Sir Benjamin
Ward Richardson, F. R. s., says at
page 70: Here, however, leave the
theoretical point to revert to the prac-
teal, and the practical is this: that
alcohol cannot by any ingenuity of
excuse be classified amongst the foods
of man. 1t neither supplies matter for
construction nor heat. On the contra
~, it Injuries construction and it re-
duces temperature.
At the close of lecture the sixth, the
same thoughtful scientist says: eff
this agent (alcohoD does really for the
moment cheer the weary, and impart
flush of transient pleasure to the
enwearied who crave for mirth, its in
fiuence, doubtful even in these modest
and moderate degrees, is an infinite
sinai advantage, by the side of an
ifnity OF evil for which there is no
compensation, and no human cure"
IF thou sayest, Behold, We knew not
this: Doth not He that weigheth the
heart consider it? And he that keep
eth thy soul doth not He know it,
am, sir, yours obediently,
LAYMAN.

Dire Pilikia.

The one who can match-in Honolu-

mans distress is at liberty to make the
attempt. Her husband had left on a
very extended trip. The first letter
would reach her in about three weeks.
and the next in not less than as many
months. The initial missive was bulky.
Extra passage was required. After a
neighbor left and with seclusion and
freedom for an hour in sight, the anxi-
Gus wife settled down TO read the letter.
Just then there were screams from the
nursery. The mother FASTENED to the
rescue. While she was gone the Chi
nese houseboy came along, saw the let
ter on the floor, where it had been
dropped, swept it up and tossed it into
the fire. This he blandly admitted, not
knowing that his life was in danger.

friend. Soon afterward he was adjudg-

GERMAN PEOPLE DO
 NOT LIKE THE DEGREE.
Poor Customers Deprived of Apples That Are Both Cheap and
 Good

LONDON, Feb. 3-The Berlin cor respondents of the morning papers are all skeptical as to the alleged reason for the exclusion of American fresh fruit. They doubt that the cause is the discovery of a bug in a box of apples in South Germany. The exclusion is attributed rather to the agrarian de- mand for reprisals against the Ameri- can tariff The decision has caused the greatest surprise and considerable dis satisfaction, for American apples had rapidly taken the German markets by storm owing to their cheapness and fine quality, and the poor consumers cannot afford to buy fine French or Italian fruit. Furthermore, 1t will be a severe blow to commerce and ship ping. The decree permits importation only on condition that the fruit is ex- ported to England.
 The Berlin National Zeitung defends the prohibition, if danger such as phyl- loxera exists. It declares, nevertheless, that promises to the agricultural pop ulation of all manner of blessings from the legal and administrative enhance ment of the prices of provisions are not calculated to Induce them to make the efforts which will be equally useful to consumers and agriculturists alike.
 The opposition German papers con- sider that the proposed Brussels sugar conference will be futile under such conditions.

CANADA WILL LEVY TRIBUTE A Klondike Complication That May Lead to
 Trouble. Disputed Territory Between Lakes Lindernan and
 Bennett. Protest of a Seattle Merchant to Be Laid Before the Secretary
 of the Treasury.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, Feb. 2-The action of the Canadian Government in placing cus- toms officers on disputed territory en route to the Klondike gold fields gives promise of causing early complications. An international controversy will no doubt result in consequence of inform alton that now comes from Lakes Ben nett and Linderman.
 In a letter from A. c. Vandoren to the Seattle Chamber of Commerce he calls attention to the fact that there are parties occupying the land between Lake Linderman and Lake Bennett Messrs. Mcleod and Sullivan-who claim to have a grant from the Cana dian Government of all the land lying between these two lakes. The writer then goes on to state:
 "The distance between the lakes Is about three quarters of a mile. On the west bank of the creek the land Is mountainous. On the east bank it is comparatively level for a mile or more, and it is here that they make their claims to the land. There are station ed here four officers or the Canadian customs service, and it Is rumored that it is their intention to collect duty at
 
 that the boundary line crosses Lake Bennett four miles north of this point, commonly spoken of as the head of the lake or the portage, and l write par ticularly for advice whether you think it advisable to resist the payment of duty here. There are a number of Americans going into business, and we do not feel disposed to pay duty on dis puted territory. I am esta bliShing trading post, where I will carry a large line of general merchandise, aggre- gating probably 80 900 or $40, GOO, and the question of duty is matter of serious importance.
 MT. Vandoren further states that as the business men of the Portage" !" with scarcely an exception. will be cti- zens of the United States. they are ex- ceedinglv desirous of having the ter ritory referred to declared American soil MT. Vandoren also asks for an opinion as to the advisability of resist ing the payment of duty. The matter will at once be laid before' Secretary Gage
