The Rum Demon Mt Work.

Medical men and sociologists are be.
coming alarmed over the great increase in
the number of persons suffering from
what they are pleased to call alcoholism.
Nearly all the New York City hospitals
receive such patients from time to time,
says the Rev John Josiah Munro. The
workhouse and the almshouse on Black.
wells Island are full of them, and the in
sane pavilion on Twenty-sixth street, as
we'll as Wards Island Asylum, have scores
of men and women suffering from this con-
dition of disease Of body and mind. Alco-
holism is the last stage of chronic drunk
enncss-natures s danger signal that the
end is near. You may call it delirium tre-
mems or insanity or any other name you
please, but the sad fact is that it is sure
forerunner of death.
Some men and women are all right
when sober, but after each periodic spree
the body and mind become more para,
lyzed until death quickly ends their suf-
ferings. It is strange, indeed, but true,
that many of those who suffer from alec.
holism have the kindest and most genial
natures. They suffer eternal ruin from
the unintentional goodness of their
friends which they are unable to resist.

large hearted, generous persons, and make
jovial companions, but this is their weak

There are reports Of plots to inJure

bottles with tremendous pressure, so
that an explosion will follow their be-
ing broken. She is not at all disturbed
by these stories.
Mrs. Nation has dictated an appeal

Mrs. Carrie Nation is an excellent
type of a woman with q mission. She
is not only reformer but a smasher,
and she strikes first with her tongue.
and follows it up with blows from her

she proceeds to break it up. She has
belief that only through her death

to put an end to the traffic.

The Obelisk and the Well.

There is an Oriental story of two
brothers, Ahmed and Omar. Both
wished to perform deed whose mem-
ory should not fail, but which. as the
years rolled on, might sound their
name and praises far abroad. Omar,
with wedge and rope, lifted great
obclisk on its base, carving it's form in
beautiful devices and sculpturing many
q strange inscription Oh it's sides. Hc
set it in the hot desert to cope with its
gales Ahmed. with deeper wisdom and
truer though sadder heart, digged a
we'll to cheer the sandy waste and
planted about it tall date-pams to
make cool shade for the thirsty pilgrim
and to shake down fruits for his hun
ger.
These two deeds illustrate two ways
in either Of which we may live. We
may think Of self and worldly success
and fame, living to make a name splen-
did as the tall sculptured Obelisk, but
as cold and useless to the world. Or
we may make our life like 4 well in the
desert, with cool shade about it to give
drink to the thirsty and shelter and re-
freshment to the weary and faint.
Which of these two ways Of living is
the more Christlikc, is easy to decide

Three Murders an Hour.

Ten thousand people are murdered every
year in the United States, fully one-han
the victims falling at the hands of liquor.
crazed criminals
One murder every twenty minutes for
the period between s o'clock at night and
5 o'clock the next morning. q.
While this is an appalling M%tement yet
it is but q moderate estima&, and in.
cludes only the actual reports murders,
none Of, the many crimes that ARE never
reported or investigated being included.
1t does not include supposed suicides, the
killing of those who have mysteriously
disappeared or the deaths of scores and
perhaps hundreds of tramps and others
about whom nobody cares to inquire.
During the last ten years the number
of murders in the United States has stead.
lily increased, almost annually, until at
present the yearly average of 10000 is q
fair estimate-and more than one-half Of
this vast number of murders are, beyond
question, the direct or indirect result Of
the liquor traffic.
Eminent criminologists believe that mur.
derers are largely afflicted with hereditary
vice. An investigation made by Chic
cago physician regarding the family, his|
tory of one murderer sentenced S1 the
penitentiary last year seems to bear out
this theory :.
1t seemed that he came from a respectt
able family of workingmen. The mother
Of the murderer was an industrious wont
an. His brother was clerk and bore q
good reputation. His father drank heav,
lily, but was not criminally inclined. On
further investigation the physician learned
that the criminal had had two uncles who
had died in convulsions when quite young.
The murderer's grandfather on the moth
er's side. had been an epileptic: The
grandmother was sound and normal. Both
the grandparents of the murderer's moth.
er were normally and mentally sound
But the murderer's great-grandfather,
through direct paternal line, had been q
suicide. On going further back, and by
writing to the murderer's former home in
Massachusetts,, the physician learned that
the murderer's great-great-grandfather
had been a confirmed drunkard, and in q
fit of rage had killed man. This great.
great.grandfather was hanged back in Rev
olutionary days. Since then three other
murderers have descended from his family
