when railways have changed the

little from that employed in the days
of Napoleon, or, for the matter of

as many doubts as Marshal SAKE.
That the methods to be adopted in

Rum and Tobacco Flesh.

Speaking of the recent killing and
eating of two missionaries by canni-
balls of Fly river, Gcinea, the Portland
Oregonian says: "These sayages do
not eat missionaries because they have
any religious hostility for them as
preachers of new faith; they only eat
them because, as non-consumers of
rum and tobacco, their fl IN is far more
palatable than that of any other type
OF white man. In the judgment of a
cannibal. the meat of missionary is
better eating than anything else, ex-
cept the flesh of a young child, another
non-consumer of tobacco and ardent
spirits. These cannibals not seldom
spare the lives of American and Euro
pean aailors for the simple reason that
their flesh is so impregnated with the
flavor of alcohol and tobacco as to be
as unIalatable as we find that of crows,
gulls, buzzards and other carrion-con-
sumial birds"

"THE FULL DINNER PAIL"
Some Facts Which Speak EloquentIy
90 the Working Man of the Wis.,
dom of Temperance.

The American people spent for
drink last year $1,O69, 240,S 1852 This
money was an absolute loss to the
men who spent it. They received no.
valuable thing in exchange for their
cash.
1t was not only loss, but an ac-
tual damage. 1t impaired their wage
earning ability and reduced their pro-
ductive power.
1t caused loss to every other in
dustry by reducing the drinkers abil-
ity to buy other things.
Their drinking made harder times
for the grocer, the butcher and baker,
whom they did not pay or could not
patronize.
The amount of last years drink, if
spent for the necessities of life, would
give work in shop, factory and field
to 1,649,5 $50 men.
1t gives work in producing raw ma
terial and in manufacturing drink to
only 30O,901 men.
Closed gin mills would mean a
chance to earn a living for 1.34S, 6S5
of the men who are now hunting a
job.

ONE EMPLOYERS PLAN.
Ind, Has Worked wholesome Re-
forms in Lives of His Employees.

In the little city of Washington,
Ind, whose population is less than
10000, there is a factory for the man
ufacture of bent wood products. Mr..
L. H. Creagin, the proprietor, knew
that many of the 100 men in his EN-
plOy were men of intelligence and
even refinement and capable of APP
preciating the truths of Scripture, yet
he noticed that few them attended
church On inquiring Of them the
reason why, he learned that many
of them stayed away from church be-
cause of the social distinctions which
pervaded in that small town.
Mr.. Creagin doubted this, and
thought it a very insufficient excuse,
but on further investigation he found
that his men were nearly right.
How Mr.. Creagin sought to change
this state of things is Interestingly
told in the Christian Herald.
In kind and brotherly way Mr..
Creagin talked with his men, and said
he would like to show them in prac-
teal way what the truths of Chris
tianity were. His plan was that for Is
minutes every morning there would
be a talk on some practical Bible
truth by a minister. The following
Monday a well-known minister in the
city took his place at seven o'clock in
| a long room of the factory where all
the men were assembled and spoke
upon the subject: "Things to Think
About" Every man paid close atten-
/ ton. There was no eXhOrtation, no
pleading, only plain Gospel talk. At
quarter past seven the factory
man went to his place.
| Every morning since then-and that
was several months ago-at the blow
/ ing of the whistle, the men gather in
! the large room. The minister has
never been late, and no employee has
| ever been late at the early service.
Every man is paid at his regular wage
rate for the time he puts in listening
to the morning address. The minis
ter, also, is on the factory payroll, and
every week receives a check from Mr..
Creagin for his services.
The experiment has been very sue
cessful. The object Mr.. Creagin had
in view has been accomplished, viz:
To clear the minds of the men from
false premises, and set them thinking
Alright.
One thing more Mr.. Creagin has
established, that is, the total absti-
hence pledge. Almost every man in
his employ has signed pledge and
has kept it. When it is taken, the
token dollar" is handed to the signer
of the pledge, and that particular
and identical dollar is kept in a safe
place and regarded as a sign of the
faith their employer reposes in his
men. the pledge is as follows:
My pledge God helping me- I hereby
solemnly promise to abstain from the use
| Of all Intoxicating liquors as a beverage.
L also promise to refrain from visiting
| all places where such intoxicants are
sold. When 1 feel justified in breaking
the provision of this pledge, l hereby
| promise to return to Mr.. i. II. Creagin
| the Token Dollar received from him

THE BRICKLAYER'S VISION.
Sees His savisur's Face and from the
Drunkard's Path Enters the Way of
SObriety and Righteousness.

When the best moral results follow
an unusual or abnormal event, any
discussion of it's natural or supernat-
ural agency cannot change the fact.
Many believe that there are messages
from Heaven more direct than the
written revelation; and the believers
are generally those whose experience
answers for their faith.
Eighty years ago, in country town
of west New England, lived a drunkard
locally known as ''Distillery Struck ia
cob" In his early manhood he had
been thrifty, Industrious and temper
ate, the husband and father of happy
family. Both he and his young wife
had inherited some property. Jacob
the bricklayer had a good home, and
was looked upon as rising man.
When he was about 25 years old the
offer of a job on distillery chimney
came to him, with promise of high
wages, as a skilled workman was
wanted. He accepted with some reluc-
tance, being an abstainer himself,
and disappearing the then almost uni
versal use of strong drink. While at
work on the job he acquired the taste
for liquor, through the example and
persuasions of his mates, and his down
ward career began.
Such is the story of the way he got
his name. For IL years "Distillery-
Struck Jacob" was a sot. He did no
work. but led shiftless life, spending

says: Il once examined the inmates
of the Christian Home for Intemper-
ate Men in New York city as to the
way they reached the last ditch of
drunkenness, and so per cent. told me
that they began with beer"
The last was the century of effort in
the cause of temperance, so that hun

young and old, are doing what they
can do to stand between the living
and the dead, and to stay the terrible
plague of intemperance.-Christisp

DEBT AND WEALTH.
Figures on the Former Are More
Easily ObtainabIe Than on
the Latter.

Increase in the national debts and
the wealth of the world are keeping
pace with each other, and each is in
creasing enormously, according to the
recent figures given out by the bureau
of statistics of the United States treas
ury. During the last 100 years the ma
lions of the earth have increased their
debts tenfold, and the wealth of the
peoples of the nations has advanced to
the same extent, says the New York
Herald.
At the beginning of the nineteenth
century the aggregated debts of the
world were about So, 1OO.OOO.OOO, to
which cipher must be added to get
the debts of to-day. These figures are

The EXPERTS IN WAR.
Military Training Alone Not CaIcu-
lated to Develop Originality
of Thought.

The truth is that military men in
England did not show themselves one
whit more competent to estimate the
military problems of the Boer war
than civilians. They relied, like civil
ians, on tradition, and laughed at the
idea that any such changes had taken
place in the art of war as were pre-
dicted by theorists, who declared.
among other things, that offensive
warfare was much more difficult than
formerly, says Jean de Bloch, in
National Review. The cause of mill
tary blindness is in no way obscure.
Military training is itself antagonistic
to original thought. 1t is no wonder,
therefore, that nowadays when rifles
and artillery are a hundred times

his time with the low and ribald COM
OF ~ miles of his home.
Alcohol weakened his mind, and even
partially paralyzed his body. No one
believed that the drinking, swearing,
staggering loafer could be far from
the drunkard's end. No one but his
wife. She prayed for him, and hoped
and waited. He never abused his fam
lily. He only disgraced them. In his
cups he often boosted of his good,
pious wife" and his smart children.
One August night he came home
from long spree, ana went to bed
and slept quietly. This was a CRATE
full circumstance, for his nights at
home were too often so noisy as to
suggest incipient mania. In the morn
ing he dressed, washed and sat down
to breakfast with the family. Then,
instead of his pipe, he found pocket
Bible and went out and sat under a
tree to read. He read all day He
seemed to have forgotten his drink
and his tobacco. His children won
dered. His wife watched him, cried
softly to herself, and whispered: God
help hi1n!"
For six months Jacob spent most of
his time reading and meditating-and
gathering back his lost health and
strength. BY that time he had worn
ont one Hible and procured another.
Gradually and quietly he began to
speak OF his changed feeling, and to
seek his old associates in dissipation
that he might carry to them the mes
sage Of redemption. They laughed
and called him "loony." Church-mem-
bers he'd aloof and distrusted him
when HI asked their fellowship. At
last, IDCdestly, he dated the revolution
of his life, and told its cauSe-which
to him never ceased to be miracle In
dream, that August night, he had
seen the Saviour.
The behavior of the renewed man
was Evidence enough of his sincerity.
1t was not until 35 years later that
he died, beloved and humble old
Christian, having outlived all his fam
lily and became totally blind.
If il was an imagined vision that
changed the sot into a saint, the fancy
was no less Divine visit. 1t was such

GOD KNoWETH BEST.

The world Is as We ind 1t.
Whether for good or i'll;
The path is oft-times stony.
Leads oft-times up the hill;
But when We reach the summit
And find there peace and rest,
We, then, forget the journey
And feel, God knoweth best.
The world is as we take it,
Whether for i'll or good;
The path lies through the brambles,
And often through the wood;
But if we look beyond it,
Where shines the light of day.
Wen bravely journey onward;
God knoweth best"-we say.
The world is as we make it;
We reap both good and i'll;
The seed we sow in passing,
% Up-spring from wood and hill;
Before we reach the summit,
The flowers may be but weeds,
Unless we tread with glaGness
Gods path-He knows our needs.

Canaries, which were originally
green and gray in color, were native
to the islands from which they take
their name, and were first taken to
England on ships plying between
English ports am the south of
France. From this stock have been

such as the crested, the green, the

statistics in most of the countries, and
still less was known hundred years
ago. In 1900 the wealth of the United
States, United Kingdom, France and
Spain was estimated at $40, PA, GAO, 00O
while Mulhall now places their wealth
at about $195 OO,OOO,OOO. With these
increases in debts and wealth, popula-
ton has increased $50 per cent, and
gold and silver, which form the basis
of the money with which payments are
made, have increased 300 per cent.
The bureau of statistics charges
these debts principally to wars, stand
ing armies and works of public utility.
OF the latter, canals, harbors, river i'm
