A TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.

How TO Help--AIcohoi Appetites-They
Are Not Caused by Natural Cravings
But Result From an Education which
IL Abnormal and Ends in Disaster
You say you can't talk about temperance,
But to help Il one way NAV be found;
You can close your lips and keep them
closed
When the glass goes round.
You say you have no time for doing
Half as much as your neighbors can do;
But closing your lips, and by keeping them
closed,
Then well know you are true.
You say you don't think your example
Is potent for good or for harm;
But one day you may find that the lips
which were closed
Held n magical charm.
And we know that the throne OF the tempter
Would at once DO hurled down and lio
low,
II only all lips that now open would close,
And each voice would say, mol"

DIR. Jackson, after a world-wid
travel, says that the largest leaves in
the world are those of the Inaii palm,
which grows ON the banks of the
Amazon. The leaves of the TALBOT
palm, native of Ceylon, are often
twenty feet iu length aud eighteen
feet broad, and those of the double
cocoanut palm are generally thirty
feet long and six feet wide. But DIR.
Jackson says he found leaves of the
Inaii palm which were fifty feet long
and twelve feet in breadth.

Temperance Work in Great Britain.

The British Medical Journal, in an article
on the growth OF temperance in Great
Britain, says: "Still more remarkable has
been tho enormous development of the
most hopeful form of the temperance prop
aganda-the associated work OF Juvenile
societies. These societies of young people
now number more than % 900, with "A mem
bership OF probably about 5000, 900 chill

Kingdom temperance proyident institution,
whose practice has been followed with as
successful results by other insurance cor

One Cause For ThankfuIness.

A teacher at one OF the schools handed to
her scholars little slips OF paper on which
was printed the question, "What have to
be thankful for?" Among the replies that
were given on the following day was this
pathetic sentence, written by a little girl
who had learned by bitter experience,
probably, the painful truths it implied, "I
am thankful there is no drunkenness in
heaven"

The Lutheran Observer says: "The
church will never reach the masses until it
first reaches the saloons" This is as true
masses can be brought to Christ they
must be brought away from the saloons;
and the only way to gain that point Is to
destroy the saloons. You can no more
keep the boys and young men out OF the
licensed aud legalized saloon than you can
keep flies out ofan open molasses barrel on
The street in August. Close the barrel and
roll 1t into the cellar, and then the files will
keep out Of It. So close the saloons and
keep them closed, or n certain number of
your boys and young men are as surely
doomed each year to be lured by them into
q drunkard's grave and drunkard's hell
rs are flies certain TO be lured TO their
death by the open molasses barrel. sun
Gay-schools and young peoples societies,
aud Y. NJ. @. AS and churches, may do all
they can to draw the boys and keep them
away from the saloons, but II will be OF
little or no avail so long as the legali2ed
saloons exist. Into them the boys will go,
despite the tears and prayers OF parents
and the efforts Of Christian people. How
10 we know By having watched the drift
OF things in that direction forty years. In
all those years Il regular stream OF boys
have been going out of Christian homes,
out Of churches and out OF Sunday-sohools
lnto tho saloons, down to drunkards'
graves and the same stream Is going on
STILL bigger and stronger than ever. Yes
Christian people, II you would save your
boys and reach the masses, first reach and
close the saloons.-Religlous Telescope.

Alcoholic Appetites.

The desire for alcoholic stimulants is
commonly spoken OF ms appetite, but we
deny that its nature is the same as the
cravings OF hungry man for food. The
Inter comes alike TO every healthy man,
as one evidence Of health, but the former
must have other provocation than the calls
OF nature, and II represents disease. We
do not deny that liquor cravings may come
by Inheritance, but the example of drink
Ing father gives a sufficient explanation OF
the sons drink habit without touching the
question OF heredity.
Without denying the theory of hereditary
appetite, many years of observation and
study have convinced us that we must look
to other causes than that for explanation
OF most Of the cases of slavery to drink.
While we do not object to the expression
drink appetite" we insist that in most
cases the drink habit represents not a nor
nal, but an educated appetite, and, there
fore, we attack the educators and say that
such disastrous education ought to be sup
pressed.
These educators are chiefly In two classes,
viz, first, those who educate young men
into the path OF death for tho sake OF the
money that can be gained thereby, and,
second, the devotees of fashionable drink
ing, and the towards who dare not resist
or antagonlse such fashion.
As to the first named class, no sensible
man can believe that the elegant saloon,
resplendent with paintings and mirrors, is
called for by the slave appetite. A jug
and tin dipper answers his claims, and he
will not even insist upon the dipper. The
saloon is created as an educator, and ex-
lists in that capacity. Go where the saloon
Is unknown, and the young men give little
evidence of alcoholic appetite. The saloon
/ system is humbug, as we'll as an outrage.
As to fashion as an educator Into the
drink appetite, as we have said before, 1t
Is the worst obstacle to public sobriety and
/ should be held responsible accordingly.
| The men of influence who defend II rest
under fearful responsibility.
| Let us not be deluded by the current
/ sophistry about natural or inherited ap-
| petite for alcohol; these causes are but as
/ drops in the ocean.
The causes of drink appetite are mainly
| controllable, and therefore ought to be
suppressed. They have been practically
/ suppressed in many localities, and by pa
tient attention to duty can be largely re-
duced overywhere.-National Temperance
