Girls Checking Intemperance.


Mrs. L. NJ. N. Stevens, President Of the
Union, writing OF "What Girls Can Do to
Check Intemperance." says:
"Flrst, the example OF her own life should
be that OF total abstinence. On the Queens
Jubilee Day, In June, 1897, at the banquet
table OF the Lord Mayor OF London,
young woman was urged to have her glass
filled with wine. She firmly declined, say
ing in a sweet, strong voice, Il never taste
that which know may do another harm,
This course was safe for herself, but, moro
than that, she set q safe example for others
about her, and she will never know the
good which came because OF her decision
and her bravery in declaring 1t, Girls
should be self-respectful; to take wine or
alcoholic liquors because invited to do so
shows lack Of courage and self-reliance.
Young women should REQUIRE that the
young men with whom they associate
should be as good as they themselves are.
Are they total abstainers from principle2
By the same token, the young men should
be total abstainers.
"If the young women of our Nation, with
so much OF life before them, with ali oe
their enthusiasm and ability, would be
strict total abstainers from all that can in
toxicate, including wine, beer and cider; IL
they would try In all reasonable ways to
win others to do the same; II they would
stand opposed to the traffic In alcoholic
liquors, the day would be greatly fastened
when the shadows caused by intemperance
shall fee away, and when nothing In the
shape of strong drink shall hurt or destroy
in all Gods holy mountain"

GOOD AND EVIL.

Long the waiting-many the tearl
Dull the sight-alive the fear
Weak the will-the effort faint
Deep the sigh-low the plant
Yet never goal-but ends way!
Never q dark-but bears day
Never strong-but feels pain
Never a fall-but brings gain !.

You Cannot Drink without Injury

A man is like thermometer. His spir-
its are equable--noither joyous nor sad.
He takes q drink 1t fills him with joy.
When he RECEIVERS from its effects the re-
action carries him just as far In the other
direction. You cannot take drink Of
whisky without an injury, either mental
Or physical. Let 1t alone.-New York

passing through these produces the
sound which gives the tree its name.
Thirteen old horseshoes were hang
ing last spring on the back of garden
wall close to an old boiler which work
men were removing and replacing by
"a new one-a very noisy piece of work
when, in no wise deferred by this,
pair of wrens built their nest in the
midst of the cluster of horseshoes and
then brought up their young. The
mother bird, having been found one
day drowned in pail of water, stand
ing near, her mate tended aud cared
for their young until they were hedged
and flown. The horseshoes containing
the nest still hang on the wall at Ever

is one of the most extraordinary ISL
ands in the world. 1t is called White
Island, and consists mainly of sulphur
mixed with gypsum and a few other
minerals. Over the island, which is
about three miles in circumference,
and which rises between 500 feet and
900 feet above the sea, floats continu-
ally an immense cloud of vapor, at
tanning an elevation OF 10, 900 feet.
In the centre is boiling lake of acid
charged water, covering so acres, and
surrounded with blowholes from which
steam and sulphurous fumes are emit
ted with great force and noise. With
care, boat can be navigated on the
lake. The sulphur from White Island
is very pure, but little effort has yet
been made to procure it systemati-
cally.
One of the most peculiar accidents
ever heard of happened to colored mar
near New Store, Va, few DAYS ago.
Ed Jones took his gun and set out for
day of sport. He was not looking
for large game, but he had not been
in the woods long before he saw an
immense deer coming at tremendous
rate of speed Immediately toward him.
He at once fell upon his knees, pre-
paratory to a shot, aud when the deer
was within 20 feet of him fred and
missed his aim. The deer had ac-
quired such tremendous momentum
that it could not check itself, and
with the next leap landed upon the
hunter. 1t knocked him down and
bruised him badly upon the breast
with one hind foot, the other going
into the negro's mouth, knocking ont
a number of his teeth, tearing part
OF his gums away, and passing down
his throat. The whole thing was over
in an instant, but when he came to
the deer was gone.

A Suggestion to Professor Atwater.

Professor W. o. Atwater, of Wesleyan
University, whose experiments In the mat
ter of the use Of alcoholic liquors as food
are familiar 10 the temperance people
throughout the country and have been
much commented upon during the past
six months, is again being vigorously
quoted by the pro-liquor press as having
attacked the scientific accuracy OF the
temperance instruction text books now in
use in the public schools. The New Voice
entertains profound respect for Professor
Atwater as a scholar and as a gentleman,
and is thoroughly convinced OF his hon.
esty in the position he has taken and Of
the essential accuracy, SO far as they have
been carried out, of his experiments.
We say this without any disposition to
concede the case at issue, but merely as q
recognition Of the fact that certain valua-
Bile and interesting data have been gath
cred by Professor Atwater's labors. Pro-
fessor Atwater has discovered that q sub
ject shut in an air-light chamber and fed
partially with alcohol does not exhibit the
we'll known symptoms Of poisoning that
the use of alcohol produces in every day
life. II now upon the strength of this, he
feels that he must assail the teachings ofthe
text books concerning alcoholic poisoning,
we beg to suggest to him that there is au-
other universally accepted belief that
ought at the same time to be assailed. 1t is
this: We have always been told that car
UOuic dclu RdS, uS cAuhitu lTOlu Tue uUDun
body or coming from other sources, Is preju-
dicial to the physical health, and that q
man obliged to live in an atmosphere heav-
lily charged with that gas would suffer So
rious Inconvenience from 1t. Every prac-
tical work upon hygiene devotes much
space to this idea and to cautions based
upon it. Now the fact is, as the writer OF
this editorial Is told by the gentleman un-
der whose immediate supervision Profess
sor Atwater's experiments were conducted,
that the subject who was shut up in the
calorimetre and who there confined did
not exhibit the usual symptoms of alco-
holfc poisoning, was all that time living
without apparent evil results in an atmos-
phere heavily charged with carbonic acid
gas
Now we submit that if Professor Atwa-
ter feels that, in view OF the discovery that
a man may, In the calorimetre. take alco-
hol in certain moderate quantities and not
find 1t a poison, but rather seem to devel-
op energy from it, he must attack tho
teachings Of the text books which hold
that alcohol is poison, ought he not also
to equally attack the common belief and
the universal teaching that carbonic acid
gas is poisonous?
