ninety per cent. of all the cases are the

with favor upon the increased consump-

Prince Bismarck, related by his physician,
DR.. Busch, in his recently published book,

table once lamented the absence of beer
and the Iron Chancellor replied:
THAT is no loss! The excessive con-
sumption of beer is deplorabIe. 1t makes
men stupid, lazy and useless"

Beer and Wine and htemperance.

1t should not be forgotten that the use
of malt liquors and light wines has not
been found in Europe to be q means Of
checking intemperance. The French for
generations have used light wines in large
quantities. and within the last two or three
decades have been considerable consumers
of malt liquors; but in spite of this, since
1870 0they have developedla taste for distilled
spirits which threatens. II continued, to
convert those who were formerly consid-
cred, in the absence of intoxiRtion tenn
perate people, into a nation 6t irunkaris.
The same statement holds true OF Switzer-
land, where the people have for long
time past used both beer and light wines,
but are now finding the inducemeRt to re-
sort to distilled spirits almost irresistible.
Even in Germany, the home of beer and
also light wines, the official reports an
nounce that there is a material growth in
the average consumption of distilled
iquorsa statement which we believe also
holds true of the kingdom Of Belgium.

"Biteth Like a Serpent"

Few things are so much dreaded as SER
pents. They are so stealthy, and, except
the rattlesnake, so silent, and some of
them, at least, are SO deadly. There is no
cure known for the bite OF some snakes;
the only chance is to cut out the piece Of
flesh which has been bitten or to burn 1t
out with Il red-hot iron, and even this will
be Of no use unless it is done directly after
the bite is received. Now, this is very like
what alcohol does to the drinker who has
only very faint chance of getting rid of
his thirst for drink when that thirst has
once been formed in him. His only chance
is to get the drink out, and keep it out OF
his body. He cannot cut 1t out or burn 1t
out; he has patiently to abstain from it
until he has ceased to long for 1t. Some
times 1t is many years before this can be
done, and sometimes the thirst comes back
time after time for the whole of mans
life, and keeps him in danger and anxiety.
What good reason we have to avoid being
bitten by this serpent of strong drink.
The mischief comes at last like many
other bad things, the drink comes to us with
a smiling face; it is pretty to look at as it
spark!es in the glass; we see some of our
friends taking it; we know that many good
people not only take it, but even praise it,
II we were to take some, very likely at first
it would seem to be doing US good, and we
might think it a useful thing to take. But
it would all be mistake: every kind Of
strong drink is "a mocker," and soon after
we had got into the habit of taking it we
should find that we had more or less diff
Guilty in leaving it off. The first prick of
the serpent's tooth would be felt, and if we
had wisdom enough left we should cast the
habit away from us in fear and horror. II
we did not the tooth would enter more
deeply and the poison would flow through
our veins; we should become the prey of
the serpent. Wise men look we'll ahead,
and so do wise boys and girls; they do not
ask whether thing is pleasant or unpleas-
ant Just now they want to know how it
will be in the end. They know better than
to buy an ounce of present pleasure with a
pound of future pain. 1t is because the
worst of drink comes at the last inst cad Of
at the first that we so hate and fear it.
1t must be terrible 30 feel the poison
spreading through ones body after the bite
of snake. In some cases in about quar-
ter OF an hour it is all over, and death has
come. But it is worse still to live the liy-
ing death of a drunkard, to feel one good
thing after another going out of you, that
you love those about you less and have less
OF their love: that your good name is GO
ing, that you are in every way getting
worse and worse, further and further from
God and goodness and everything that is
beautiful and pleasant, that you are surely
dying not only in your body, but your soul
as we'll. Better by far be killed by a SER
pent than endure such fate as this. But
if you neglect the warning OF the motto, If
you break your pledge, such q fate may be
yours.-Farher Mathew Herald.

a very different view Of the ease. and
commended that it is clearly proved that
bribery was resorted TO by lIanua's
managers, and money actually paid
over TO the attorneys of Representative
Otis, who gave the thing away.
There is ll,Js doubt in the public
