The prophecy of Habaklluk indicates
the triumph of the liquor oligarchy

Amos set out the lethargy of the peo-
pie and their representatives toward
this bondage. The enslavement of the
State to the whisky power needs no
demonstration other than the license
system. The nation itself receives
revenue from this satanic traffic. The
saloon through it's invested capital and

The spectacle of great Common

upon the saloon the privilege to vio
late virtue, blight youth, wreck man

sight that causes wonder and anguish

Buddhist sect with headquarters at
Toxic. Alum seems to be an eminent

based on the idea that as heaven re-
quires to be importuned and as busy
folks have not time themselves to do
the importuning. their best plan is to
entrust the task to some one else for
die consideration.
The person who does the praying by

himself forward as such one, al
though he was once involved in trou-

Lesson Thoughts.
The existence of our License Sys-

moral wrong; for IL either indicates
that the sale OF intoxicating drinks is a
public benefit, which is false, or, on
the other hand, that 1t is lawful to
uphold an evil.
Temperance Is a moderate use of
good things; total abstinence from
bad things.
Not one honest word can be said in
favor of the rum trafflc; but the pages
of history are black with the record

According to the census reports the

A Notable Bridge Feat.

In the transportation OF logs from
the heart Of the California timber
belt to the mills. an important engin-
eering feat has been accomplished. A
canon on the south fork Of the Ameri-
can River had TO be trayersed, and as
1t was 1000 feet deep,it was determined
to build a steel-wire suspension tram
way. The DISTANCE across the canon
is $3.50 feet. Between the two termi-
nal towers the space Is 2650 feet.
Two parallel cables span this i'm
mense gap, without support between
the towers. On these cables runs a
cage conveying a car capable of carry
ing 1000 feet Of green, and, therefore,
very heavy, timber on each trip. The
tower terminals are anchored in the
solid rock, supporting the cables, on
which, over the canon of depth of
1000 feet, where the rivers course
seems like a rivulet, passes to and fro
the skeleton iron cage, running on
deep-grooyed trolley-wheels, and carry
ing its enormous load OF green tim
Der with great apparent case.

There is something rather curioss
to me about the distance that men
may fall without getting hurt" OBJ.
served n New Orleans contractor yes.
terday, "but 1t is not always the case
that drunken man can fall further
than other men without getting
bruised up or killed. In my own ex'
perience In construction work have
observed q few instances where per.
fectly sober men have fallen great
distances without getting hurt. OF
course. as a general rule. man whose
muscles are thoroughly relaxed on ae-
count of the influence of liquor Is less
liable to injury than the sober man,
who will make all kinds of effort to
catch himself, and who will in this
way endanger his limbs by making
them rigid and stiff.
''But recall the Gaze OF man who
was working on Il building with me
several years ago, and at the time
he was engaged on the fifth story. He
was working in one of the windows
in the side of the building. In some
way he lost his balance and went
head over heels down the side Of the
building toward the sidewalk. The
sight made me sick, and 1 was ac-
tually afraid to look on the sidewalk
below, because felt certain that my
friend had been smashed into a pulp
by the long fall. We got down to the
ground as soon as possible. l was
surprised when / failed to see my
friend. He had not stopped on the
sidewalk, but went crashing into the
cellar, and you can imagine the sur
prise / felt when 1 met my friend
with a smile on his face and making
his way to the short, dumpy steps that
let us out of the cellar. / asked him
Il he was not hurt, and he replied
that the fall jolted him a little and
that his blood chilled somewhat while
he was going through the air; but he
was not hurt He had struck an iron
gate that worked rather easily on its
hinges, and this apparatus allowed
him TO slide with ease into the base
ment, and it was this simple device
that saved his life. He was perfectly
sober at the time. too. But now mark
what happened to another friend OF
mine while he was under the influence
of whisky. He was not drunk, but
he was in that condition called COM
fortably full. He was walking along
sidewalk that was as smooth and
as even as any ever saw. For some
unaccoountable reason he fell. His
head hit first, and it struck in a way
that threw him over ON his back. The
turn was sudden, spasmodic, and
seemed to have been caused by mus
cular relaxation. He never regained
consciousness. His skull was frac-
tured badly, and he died in a few
hours. These things go to show that
it is not so much question OF how
Ear man falls. How a fellow hits

In those days it was necessary and

itated England in our gardens much

The Fussinoss About Health

One wonders sometimes whether the
new fussiness about the body really
tends as much to human happiness
as the old ignorance or stolid resig-
nation. 1t certainly increases greatly
the objects of fear, and every fear
tends to impair the serenity which is
the base of happiness. 1t also helps
to keep alive the feeble, who are often
in the way and who do not improve
the race, and it very decidedly inter
feres with that "even flow of promo
ton" which Is almost as necessary to
society at large as to the army or the
civil service. There is, too, some di-
mlnuation of courage, however slight,
IN facing risks, and great increase
in that habit of self-pity which is apt,
especially with the frail. to enfeeble
character. Upon the whole, however,
we fancy the result is beneficial, es-
pecially to those at the two ends of
life. Children are not only happier
but positively better for the new
healthfulness secured by science-an
opinion which will be indorsed, we
believe, by every manager OF good
preparatory school-and to the old the
benefit is indescribable They will
die as Of yore, though later, but they
are spared half the old aches and
pains, so that cherry old age" in
stead Of being noticeable is the COM
