How shall 1 call that strange influence
that dumbiy tries to warn-to prepare?
Many OF us have had experience OF TINS
nameless something, whose efforts are but
rarely needed. The something that one
morning suddenly fills the mind with
thoughts of some friend Of the far past
who is almost entirely forgotten-persis-
tent thoughts not to be shaken Off.
You speak of the matter, and your fam
lily exclaim, What on earth ever brought

either hear of the old friends death or

Drunkenness Not hereditary.

From the London Pail Mall Gazette.
The Special Committee of the Society
for the Study Of Inebriety which has been
sitting during the past eighteen months
has just presented its report. The COM
mittee is OF opinion that the continued
use, or rather abuse, of alcohol tends to
render a race less innately prone to ex>
cessfve indulgence than II would other
wise have been, and that this result is
brought about by the elimination OF those
with a strong tendency to alcoholic indul-
gence and the survival of those with
weak tendency TO alcoholic indulgence.
There is strong evidence in favor of this
conclusion in the history of the great ma
lions of the world. This broad-minded
view OF the subject is of great value at
the present moment and likely to Gauss
some perturbation in extreme temperance
circles.

There are many kinds OF special sales.
There Is the kind which is brought TO
your notice with wearisome frequency,
and which involves goods Of an inferior

purposes. There is that kind which is

there is that kind-the genuine article,
which offers bargains in up-to-date goods.
Our patrons know from past experience
that when we advertise a special sale
they can depend upon securing heavy re-
