insanity in The Philippines.

The care Of the administration to
have the soldiers supplied with intoxi-
eating drinks naturally encourages
the alcohol habit among them. Some
of the results are reported from the
Philippine Islands. The newspapers
mention an extraordinary prevalence
of insanity among the troops in SER
vice there. About two hundred and
fifty are stated to have been returned
to the United States disabled in this
way, and two hundred more are to
follow soon. A San Francisco dis
patch states that the malady is largely
attributed to the climate, which
Americans cannot endure when so
much exposed as soldiers have to be.
But "others declare much Of the
blame is due to the excessive use of
vino or native Filipino wine, decoc-
tion from sugar cane. The effect Of
this beverage upon its victim is much
the same as that of absinthe. A few
drinks render the ordinary man tenn
porarily insane; continued indulgence
in vino causes permanent dementia. y
The taste for alcohol cultivated by
the government saloons, which make
it convenient and respectable for the
soldiers to drink, is doubtless respon-
sible for much of their consumption
Of this ruinous stuff. A chaplain
lately returned from the Philippines
corroborat.s the statement that since
Manila was taken the number of sa-
looms there has increased more than a
hundredfold. The increase must be
chiefly for the accommodation of the
army. 1t shows at least that the
cantecn is failure as means of di-
verting the soldiers from promiscuous
drinking outside.-NorMern Christian

A Doctor Silenced.

A medical man, discoursing upon
the absolute necessity Of alcohol to
the highest physical development, as
serted positively that the mission Of
alcohol is better physical develop
ment of man. A clergyman inquired:
"Do you believe the Bible?" Ger
tainly 1 do, as sincerely as yourself" !"
was the prompt reply. "If your posi-
tion be correct" continued the clergy
man, what will you do with the fact
that when God would make the strong
est man that ever lived-Samson-he
commanded not only the. son should
be a total abstainer, but the mother
also, even before Samson's birth, lest
some taint Of physical weakness
should be impaired to his cons.i.a-
tion. God discarded alcohol in giving
to the world the best example of ply
sical strength on record. What will
you do with that fact?" The doctor
was silent Exchange.

A Remarkable Time Piece.

a wonderful clock has just been
erected in the Grand Arcade, Leeds,
which hourly gives novel representa-
tion Of the British empire.
The clock, which is claimed to be
the greatest theological feat Of the
century, is the work of Mcssrs. Will
liam Bolts & Sons Of Leeds.
AS each quarter hour strikes numcr-
GUS little figures, each representative
of some portion of the empire, move
forward and bow to the onlookers.
Until the hands point to the quar-
ters only two figures, representing
mail-clad knights with nn-raised axes,
are visible. Immediately they have
chimed on adjacent gongs the real dis
play takes place.
A door opens and British grena-
dier in full uniform marches forth,
and on reaching the centre of the plat
form, faces to the front and salutes in
precise military fashions. He is fol-
lowed by smartly killed Highlander,
also warrior; an Irishman. in the old
national costume and carrying shile-
lah Canadian boatman with mis-
paddle. and the dusky figure Of a
Hindu, with turban and loin cloth.
Each makes an obeisance to the on
lockers in passing, and when the last
figures has retired the doors close au-
tomatically. Then a cock over the
time piece flaps its wings, raises its
head, and crows three times.
Large crowds visit the Leeds Arcade
daily to see the novel clock, which is
undoubtedly one of the remarkable
timepieces Of the world, combining as
it does some of the features Of other
famous clocks, together with many
original improvements. The cock, for
instance, flaps its wings similarly to
the one at Strasburg Cathedral, and
the time is shown upon polished cop
per dial with blue figures, like the
noted clock at Berne. The escapement
is the double three-legged gravity by
Lord Grimthorpe-the greatest living
authority on clocks and bells. Many
parts Of this remarkable time piece are
made of gun metal, but the automatic
figures are of copper bronze Golden
