Drinkinr IN Great Britain.

Dr.. Cunningham Geikie gives the. fol-
lowing saddening report of the prevalence
of drinking habits in England:
Temperance has done much in the last
generation to oppose this had passion,
but even in America victory is still far
ahead. Here in England the woes Of in
temperance may be judge by its sad COM
monness, for the consumption OF strong
drink in the States is not much more than
half per head of that with us. Were our
outlay in alcohol no higher than yours. it
would save us no less than S2S5, ,OO0, 600
year-and how many woes would that
teai?
''Our drink bill for 1883 was nearly $7772,-
100000, which comes to nearly S35 for
every living creature old enough to crave
such drink. In my parish | found many
workmen who drank over 81 week out
of a wage of $40. Workingmen are three
fourths of our population, and it is be-
lieved they spend $500, 100000 yearly. on
worse than useless drink. An American
in my congregation told me he had to
close a factory opened by him at Wolver-
hampton, from his workmen never max
ing a whole week, some coming to work
only on Wednesday, and even then they
would get boys to smuggie beer into the
factory.

Lace Shawl's Return.

The long absent lace shawl has been
pulled from its hiding place and is
used, not only in sections for trim
mings, but in all it's original character
as a wrap. The unprecedented hot
weather in London during the. opera
season made opera cloaks a thing not
to be thought OF, and some Of the So
cial leaders adopted the idea of wind
ing lace shawls about them when they
entered their carriages. That was all
that was needed to start a fashion.
and straightway lace shawls became
the approved thing once more, The
idea has reached the Continental wat
ering places, but it isn't every woman
who can make herself picturesque in L
lace shawl So.

Thank God for Work.

We may overcome depression by duty.
1t is blessed thing to have something
to do. Some disaster overtakcs us or Il
great sorrow swoops down on our spl1t,
and il seems as though life can have
nothing in store that is desirable. But
life still has it's wants. it still has its
humble duties. and We take them up
almost mechanically at first, but before
long we find that they are medicinal.
Thank God for something to do! The
depression of an active spirit frequently
arises from enforced idlcneSs. 1t was
after John the Baptist WAS shut up IN
prison that he sent his disciple to, say to
Jesus. Art thou He that should come;
or do we look for another" Jesus did
not roproarh the prophet of the wilder
ness for asking such question. HIS
fnrerunner had not lost his faith, but
his active spirit was depressed by the
mountain fortress Of. Machaerus.-Ad-
vance.

Your Own Foam dation.

1t is told of a great! English preacher
that when he was once approached with
propositions from two fields Of pastoral
service, he declined one and accepted the
other, saying: IF l so to one shall
be somebody's successor; but if 80 to
the other l shall be somebody's predeces-
sor." He was only repeating in :, sub
stance the principle Of Paul. who lolged
to build upon his own foundations. And
the ambition is noble one. The mod.
ern church is full Of first-rate imitators.
They are willing to be set to work, and
they will do what they are told to do
with commendable show Of fidelity.
But something more is needed in the ac-
tivites of the church. If we were to
point out one of the gravest faults in the
whole matter of religious training Of the
young it would be just here. They are
not trained to independent religiouss ac-.
ton, and to the eager readiness to begin
and carry out definite lines Of necessary
Christian service in the church. Eyery
member Of a church has some piece of
work to do which can be planned and
executed by him alone. Find and Ed0
this thing. Be somebody's predecessor.

Liquor Drinking in France.

The extent to which the consumption
of liquor enters into the problem Of the
social life of France may be seen from the
statement that q member of the French
commission for the study of questions af-
fecting the working classes declared a
short time ago that he and his colleagues,
in the conscientious discharge of their du-
ties, took a number of meals at different
restaurants in Paris and other cities fre,,
nuented by laboring men, and they noted
that fully two-thirds Of the money PAID
for meals by the customers, OF these es-
adjustments was paid for liquor. Paris
has now at least twice as many public
houses as before the war of 1870, and prob
ably the same proportionate increase
holds with reference to other sections OF

of the public house on almost every cor

little children crowding every inch of
room in every public house in every town
and city we have visited, and it is the
wonder of bewilderment to us that such
conditions can be faced with Indifference,
for it seems to me that the worst that can
be said about intemperance over here is
the light and easy way in which it is all
received.
