The Spirtual Side.

The curse of drunkenness on the side or
its physical devastations has been abun-
dantly depicted by the advocates OF the tenn
perance reform. The amount OF grain con-
sumed in the manufacture OF Intoxicating
liquors; the number OF men whose labor is
worse than wasted in producing and vend-
Ing them; the number OF lives destroyed by
them; the number OF paupers and insane
persons whose woes are traceable to this
source; the effects upon ,the health of in
dividuals-all Of these things are frequent
ly set forth with sufficient fulness In i'm
pressive rhetoric. Some allowances must
be made for the overstatements Of jealous
advocates, but there are facts enough OF an
appalling nature in these representations
to call for the most serious thought.
But the worst side of drunkenness is not
that which appears in these familiar figures.
The most frightful effects of the drink habit
are not those which can be tabulated in
statistics and reported in the census. 1t is
not the waste ofcorn nor the destruction of
property, nor the increase OF taxes, nor
even the ruin Of physical health nor the
loss OF life, which most impresses the mind
Of the thoughtful observer OF inebriety. II
Is the effect of this vice upon the charac-
ters OF men as 1t is exhibited to him, day by
day, in his ordinary intercourse with them.
1t is in the spiritual realm that the ravages
of strong drink are most terrible.

Prayers by Telephone.

At small dinner given recently in
a Western city the guest of honor was
a young married woman who is the
proud mother of two handsome boys,
both under five years of age. In their
education she endeavors to follow q
system, after the manner of mostyoung
mothers, and is very particular to live
up to any rule she has made for them.
During an early course in the din
ner, and in the middle of an animated
conversation with her host, she sud
denly paused with startled look and
cried:
"There, if 1 did not forget those
boys againl Have you telephone in
the house, and may 1 use it?"
She was taken to the telephone by
her host, and the murmur of her voice
in earnest conversation foated back to
the dining-room. After a short pause
she returned.
81 do hope you will pardon me, "
she said, "but, you see, 1 always have

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way TO cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an u

Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets In

Norwegian Firemen

Captain r. W. Henderson gives
some instructive details of fire service
in Norway The fremen enter the
service at twenty-five years of age,
none being accepted under that age or
beyond thirty. They are taken on as
probationers, from which grade they
rise to be permanent firemen. A pref
erence is given to mechanics, who,
when not ON fire duty, are engaged in
making the hose, carts, ladders and
other apparatus required in the SER
vice. There is generally high water
pressure to be had, but where engines
are needed they are usually of English
make. The telegraph and telephone
wires, the water mains and sewers are
all under the care of the firemen, who,
Notwithstanding their many and vari-
Gus duties, are always ready to turn
out for service. Their pay is very
small-from about $3.50 to $3.50 a
week, with quarters, and an allowance
of about $28 for uniform.
The uniform consists of q dark blue
serge shirt, dark navy blue trousers,
stout high and low shoes and a strong
woolen belt, with hook, axes, etc., and
leather helmet. The engines are
drawn by sturdy little Norwegian
horses, and they do smart work in
getting to fires, Notwithstanding the
heavy loads they have to haul through
the roughly-paved streets. The fire.
men are well drilled and disciplined,
and are thoroughly efficient. Hither-
to the houses have been built entirely
of wood, but now the law enacts that
whenever any new buildings are erect.

be of stone or brick.-St. Louis Globe

How Rails Are Injured.

While ON steam roads the tracks are
not injured by locomotives running at
high speeds, street railway men COM
plain that their tracks are torn to
pieces by the electric cars. The rea-
son for this is that the plunging and
rearing of cars mounted on four
wheeled trucks pound the tracks and
loosen the joints. Cars on short base
single trucks often plunge sufficiently
to throw practically all the weight ON
to the front and rear wheels alterna-
lively, and the damaging effect of this
can easily be realized.
