1Ierrlmcnt as Related to Drunkards.

When DR.. Thomas J. Hills asserts that
whiskey contains all :the constituent ele-
ments OF food, he probably speaks from
medical knowledge.
But when he states that whlskey makes
hundreds merry for every ten 1t makes
miserable, he knows not whereof he talks.
One drunkard may feel exceedingly
merry, but he Is sure to make everybody
within bis sphere OF influence miserable.
Where there Is deep and consistent drink
ing there can be no happiness.
ards are hereditary drunkards, and that
they drink because they are unable to ab-
stain from 1t.
Generally speaking, we are an intem.
perate nation, but the intemperance OF
nineteen men in twenty Is not hereditary.
1t Is acquired. There are men who achieve
drunkenness deliberately and periodically.
Others have drunkenness thrust upon
them.
The periodical drunkard is prey to
circumstances. II he happens to be q rich
man either Joy or sorry will arraign him at
the bar. II be Is laborlng man he gets
drunk on pay days, because the task Of
earning his money Is over and he seeks the
relaxation which on penniless days he Is
unable to purchase.
But whether a man be periodical or an
habltual drunkard, he is sure to cause
misery.

Cromwell and America.

In the first instalment of his study
of Oliver Cromwell, in the Century,
Mr.. Morley takes occasion to discredit
the report that the great English
statesman ever set sail for this coun-
try, with the intention of making his
home in New England.
There is no substance in the fable,
though so circumstantially related,
that, in 1886, in company with his
cousin Hampden, despairing of his
country. he took his passage to Amer
lea. and that the vessel was stopped by
an order in Council. All the proba.
bilities are against it, and there is no
evidence for it. What is credible
enough is Clarendon's story that five
years later, on the day when the Great
Remonstrance was passed, Cromwell
whispered to Falkland that if it had
been rejected he would have sold all
he had the next morning, and never
have seen England more, and he knew
there many other honest men of the
same resolution. So near, the Royal
ist historian reflects, was this poor
kingdom at that time to it's deliver.

largest moose head in the worlds
the property of W. F. Sheard. OF
Tacoma, Wash. It has forty prongs,
and it's immense fanlike antlers are
enormous in their width as we'll as in
height. The marvel is that any neck
could have carried such burden.
It's history is unusual and tinctured
with the romantic superstition of the
Canadian Indian. For many years
the Indian tribes around Fort Selkirk
and the mouth of the Stewart River,
in the northwest territories of Canada,
had told among themselves the tale of
a mighty moose, a "hi-uh moose"
that for years and years had haunted
the district of the Stewart River.
Many years before, when this gigantic
animal IShad first appeared, their
fathers had endeavored to kill it; for
days they had tracked the beast
through the pathless forests. Easy
to track it was, for the immense
antlers, said the Indians, made path
through the foliage of tho trees wider
than man was high, and the marks
of his huge prongs on the bark were
certain indications of his path. But
nobody was able to kill him. Gradually
grew up around this huge. mysterious
animal a superstitious reverence that
he should escape all bullets and arrows
and evade all pitfalls.
In October OF 1897 on Indian-French
half.breed, untroubled by supersti-
tion, legends or scruples, came into the
post and reported that for four days
he had followed the "hi-uh moose"
and had killed it near the headwaters
Of the Stewart River, two hundred or
three hundred miles from Dawson
City (Klondike). This was in the
dead of winter.
Finally party Of whites went out
from the post and brought the moose
in. The next year the head was sent
down the Yukon to Tacoma, Wash,
where W. F. Sheard. skin merchant
of that city, bought it, and in his pos
session this unique and magnificent
trophy remains.

.oino to The front hold about 10. 600

going to the front hold about 10, 900
cubic feet of hydrogen. Each balloon
will carry two persons-one in the
car and the other in the netting.
These balloons are made OF gold
beaters' skin, which is far superior in
every way to silk. Each balloon will
be placed on a. wagon and drawn by
twelve horses to the scene of opera
tions. The gas will be conveyed in
wagons drawn by a steam traction
engine or by four horses. This gas
is slowed in steel cylinders, ITO
cylinders being required to fill one
balloon of 10000 cubic feet capacity.
Hitherto one cause of great concern
in the ballooning operations has been
the difficulty of obtaining balloon
sufficiently steady to ensure the max
ing of accurate observations. 1t has
also been feared that the difficulties
attending the manufacture, handling
and conveyance of the gas might
prove insurmountable. In order that
this may not prove stumbling block
in the Transvaal, the British army is
being also furnished with equipment
for the rapid erection of observation
towers. The care of these ia entrust-
ed to the Royal Engineers, a section
of the British army whose operations
have always been distinguished by
excellence of work. One of the illus
trations shows one of these towers
after it has reached a height of 10

Baled Money.

But speaking of cotton-strange
how the subject sticks to one-I once
asked a small farmer in Georgia,
"Why do you raise cotton year after
year? It seems to me it's the hardest
thing in the world to raise; it requires
more care than anything I know Of;
has to be plowed oftener and looked
after more carefully; why don't. you
raise something to eat?" And the
man with the two-mule farm laughed
and said, ''I'd know you was from the
North just by that fool speech. Be-
cause owe for my land. I have to
have money every year to run this
farm. I can borrow money on my
next crop of cotton. And the man
who lends me the money can keep his
eye on my crop from the time the
seed is in the ground till it is loaded
on the cars. His security is all right.
But if I 90 to him in the spring and
tell him I amt going to raise any cot
ton, but only corn and garden truck,
he can't keep track of no such perish
able security as that. He won't lend
Inc cent. So if I want any money
I've got to raise cotton" And I made
what haste I could to swim ashore.
It is so easy, son, for US to tell people
1000 miles away just what they ought
to do. So much easier than it is to
go there anG do it.-Robert Burdette,

The SeIfishness of Sensitiveness.

Every minister must constantly meet the
sensitive people OF his parish, and there Is no
field in which he needs to he SO tactful, kind
and firm as when he is dealing with those
who have tendency to be sensitive. They
do suffer keenly, and the fuct must not be
lost sight OF. Tney are not to blame for the
quality OF soul which makes them suscspti-
bic to every .rd and mood on the part OF
others. And yet there IL side OF this mat
ter which must be- kept In mind by those
who have tendency to sensitiveness. The
trait may run swiftly into most subtle sort
OF seIhsbness. There ure churches in which
the whole work Of the church Is really con-
ditioned by the morbid nature OF some one
member, and very often the danger OF
hurting The feelings" OF one sensitive per-
son becomes the chief point in the discus
sion OF the work OF the church. 1t can be
said with truth that there are churches In
which the entire work OF the body Is not
only conditioned but impaired most serious

The Light of the Gospel Shines.

He who believes the world to be going to
the bud utterly and rapidly needs only to
compare with candid fidelity the condition
of society fifty or one hundred years ago
with today to be convinced Of the great ad-
vance in the right direction which has been
made. In many respects the special achieve
ments OF former days now are become COM
monplace. In heather nations, too, the
light OF the Gospel shines far more brightly
than u generation or two since. 1t is the
almost uniform testimony OF experts that
the opportunity for winning people indi-
vidually, and sometimes In whole communi-
ties, to Christ never was so great as at pres
ent In education. in politics, in business,
In society, In art and literature, In every de-
partment OF life, in spite. OF frequent and
often depressing instances to the contrary,
there has been and still there is going on
a progress toward the ultimate triumph OF
Christianity among men,.

degrees north, half way from the

The Woe of England.

The drink evil continues to be one OF the
most pressing questions OF the day In the
United Kingdom. From the latest statis-

whisky last year was the greatest yet
reached, the population having swallowed
more than gallon per head OF liquor
known by that name. The London Lancet,
In referring to the British death-rate from
lntemperance, directs attention to one OK
Its most painful features-the increase Of
alcoholism among women. The deaths
from chronic alcoholism In the year 1897,
as compared with the year 1878, In men
show an increase OF 82X per cent, those OF
females OF 145H per cent; and the deaths
from clrrhosis In men IN increase OF twelve
per cent, and those from cirrhosls In fe-
males OF twenty-slx per cent. The amount
OF disease, caused BIZ liquor. Which falls
short OF fatal termination Is necessarily q
matter beyond all power OF calculation.
