Of Nell Claris when, seized roughly by

Umbrella Versus Cue.

"A match which excited a consider
able amount of interest at the time,
was played forty years ago between
John Roberts, father Of the prese' bill
hard champion, and an amateur who
was a very fair player. Roberts played
with an old umbrella instead Of q cue,
his opponent being equipped In the
normal fashion. To appreciate fully
the difficulty of Roberts's task let any
one try the experiment for himself. He
will be lucky if he can make the ball
travel even approximately in the di-
rection which he intends. Old Roberts,
who, by the way, lost the Umbrella
VS.. Cue match, had great fancy for
similar experiments. Il is on record
that when he met very inferior play
er he would abjure the cue altogether
and play with his nose.-CaSselrs

The Drunkard's Limit.

DR.. Charles L. Dana, of New York, pro-
fessor of nervous diseases, Cornell Univer-
sity Medical College, and visiting phya-
clan to Bellevue Hospital, New York City,
has just written a remarkable article on
"Inebriety-a Study Of Its Causes. Dura-
tion and Management" His conclusions
are chiefly based upon Investigations at
Bellevue Hospital.
One of Dr. Dana's significant statements
is in regard to the number of times that a
drunkard can get drunk without succumb-
inc to insanity or death. DR.. Dana puts
the extreme limit at 1000 and says that
only few are able to reach the 100 mark.
In his article which is contributed to the
Medical Record DR.. Dana says: =,
"The cases that are brought into the
wards at Bellevue include all phases and
degrees of alcoholism. I personally studied
$50 cases in 1891, land a somewhat larger
number in 1892, 1893 and 1895. I found the
acute effects Of hard drinking to be dis
tributed about as follows: Simple intox-
ication, sixty per cent; delirium tremens
ending in recovery, thirty-six per cent;
delirium tremens with complications end
ing in death, four per cent. 4.
Regarding the divisions by classes OF
persons subject to inebriety DR.. Dana says:
'It is not the day laborers, but the me.
chapics, artisans and small tradesmen that
furnish the greatest proportion OF cases.
Drivers, walters, painters and liquor deal
ers supply very considerable quota. 1t is
the indoor workman, however, who 1s
oftencst the victim"

German Army and Drink.

The Christian Commonwealth (London,
Enpland), in an editorial note entitled
"The Drink and Crime" thus comments
on some statistics published in the Kreuz
Zeitung regarding army prisons IN Ger
many:
"This is not the only country where the
drink produces crime. We are sometimes
told that the drink habit of the Germans
ia quite harmless; that the beverage they
use does not lead to evil consequences;
that it is only in those countries where
distilled liquors are chiefly used that the
habit becomes vicious. But facts DO not
support this contention. In an article IN
the Krew Zeitung, warmly advocating
temperance and the disuse of alcohol in
the army and navy, the writer brings for.
ward remarkable statistics in support OF
his plea. In l2O army prisons throughout
Germany forty-six per cent. of all the
murderers committed their crime while
under the influence of drink. Sixty-three
per cent. of the cases of manslanghter,
seyenty-four per cent of serious injury to
the person, and seventy-seven per cent. OF
criminal immortality ere due to the same
cause. In the navy, out of lG7l punishable
cases during the last six years. seventy
five per cent. of the most serious cases
have been due to drunkenness. Evidently
the drink is the same old evil, whether in
Germany, England. or any other country
Everywhere it leaves devastation in its
pathway"

Mountain Falls Into Sea.

A Vancouver (B. CO. special runs:
The whole crest Of mountain over a
mile in circumference slipped into
Loughborough inlet, 100 miles from
Vancouver, a few days ago.
The great slide was the result of an
earthquake and the resulting shock of
the falling mountain top was felt for
a long distance. At this part Of the
coast the mountains rise almost per-
pendicularly from the water FOR TOO or
800 feet. The mountain which fell
was composed Of crag which over
hung the shore, and great slice of 1t
sheered off into the bay.
The break extended back over 500
feet from the shore. Giant trees and
rocks were swept away, as If they had
been toothpicks. Instead of crumbllng
as it fell, the huge mass of rock and
earth turned over and flung itself far
out into the bay, forming small tidal
wave.

Story of q Prayer.

General Joseph Duncan, after four terms
in Congress, was elected, in 1894, to be
Governor of Illinois, which position he
held for four years. He invited a young
man, Truman M. Post, whom he had
known in Washington, to come to his
Illinois home and serve him as clerk, or
private secretary.
=. The young man arrived at. Jacksonville,
where General Duncan resided, on day
when the Governor-elect was receiving
, large delegation of his political friends.
The table was set under the oaks, and the
young secretary took his seat among the
prominent men. To his great surprise
Mrs. Duncan called upon him to ask the
blessing, and he could only stammer:
MADAM, I beg your pardon; I am not a
Christian"
There was moments pause, and then
Mrs. Duncan, standing at the head Of. the
table, in a quiet. womanly voice, uttered
a prayer of thanks for the blessings with
which the Heavenly Father had spread
their table and filled their lives.
Every one was impressed by the act, but
two persons were deeply moved. One OF
these was Governor Duncan, who shortly
afterward became a Christian and said
grace at his own table. The other was
young Truman, whom she had supposed,
from the character given him by her hus-
band, to be professor of religion.
To-day few names of ministers are bet
ter remembered or held in higher honor
throughout the Northwest than that Of
Rev. DR.. Truman Marcellus Post As
frontier missionary he did heroic, services
extending his labors over a wider and
wider area as his power and influence en'
larged, and occupying at length a leading
pulpit in St. Louis, whence his work
reached out on every side in rapidly!
developing region, encouraging feeble
hands, multiplying agencies of bene6cence
.nd leaving its mark on future generations.
When some one, in his later years, re1
serring to his early political associations;
asked him what changed the current of
his life into the channel which proved so
,onspicuously useful, he told the story Of
Mrs. Duncan's prayer. Her quiet act OF
duty at a trying moment had followed
1im with its ineffaceable impression until
he dedicated himself to the God she loved
and served. Mrs. Duncan was then dead;
DR.. Post is dead, but his work survives.
The incident of the Governors dinner
b not unique. Others of similar distinc-
lion have happened and passed without
furnishing the making of a chapter. But
shis one-like all incidents-is measured
oy its consequences. It not only showed
the character and quick resource of no

herself, it bore fruit and made her remen-

Tho Best RelIRion.

The intent of religion is to help man.
righteous life. It is, indeed, to glorify
God, but by the elevation of human life.
1t is intensely practical Whenever it be-
comes merely speculative, dogmatic or
ceremonial it is perverted from its highest
meaning, and fails of its best results. The
energy of true religion is directed toward
present needs and opportunities. 1t is
personal and immediate. 1t is not simply
believing something that is past, and hop
ing for something in the future, but it is
also doing. something now. The best re-
igion is that which makes the best men
and women.-Rev. Abram Conklin.

determination based on fixed principles
carefully wrought out in hours of calm
thought is the essential safeguard against
:he attacks of woridliness. The higher one
gets in social circles the more difficult it
becomes to live the humble, consistent life
followed in the days of poverty and OBJ
scurity. The late Secretary Window said i
"You don't know what pressure is brought
TO bear on us here in Washington to live
the same life all the days of the week, but
I never have and never will accept any,
kind of an invitation on Sunday. The
world crowds me hard six days of the
week, and cannot afford to let it have
