Alcohol is a poisonous secretion, which

LIQUOR Habit in Children.

The Heralds special cable dispatch from
Vienna calls attention to very important
matter connected with the perniciouss prac-
tice of giving children alcoholic and malt
intoxicants as substitutes for food.
Professor Max Karsowitz, well-known
authority in Vienna on infantile ulsease,
at a session of the International Alcohoilcc
Congress very Justly claims that beer and
wine as generally administered to the little
ones by tkoughtless parents are not only
highly injurious in hindering growth, but
frequently cause epilepsy and mental IN
capacity. =,
While these liquors are not used here to
the same extent as they are abroad, the
creation of the tipping habit IN youngsters
is sufficiently common to call attention 10
its threatening dangers.
Physicians who visit babes in tenement
districts and prescribe for them IN the
public dispensaries are agreed that the
prevalence of the custom is such as calls
for an earnest protest. On the west side
whisky in small doses is generally admins.
tered. while OH the east side beer In great
er or less quantities is used.
There is a mistaken idea with the par.
ents that the drinks in question. help to
make the little ones strong and give them
better appetites. >.
On the contrary. very opposite condl-
tions obtain. Alcohol and beer are In no
sense nutrients for children. They. should
be used only as medicines by advice of
the physician, and are only indicated in
low fevers and threatened heart failures
ior their purely stimulating effects. When
administered otherwise they are apt not
pnly to interfere with digestion, but to
law the foundation for serious organic dis
Eases of the liver and stomach.
Again, there cannot be left out OF con-
sideration the possibility of the early for
nation of the liquor habit, which may. ul.
timately develop into the most ablect
form Of drunkenness in the adult.-New
York Herald.

Not a Question of Method.

The great question, after all, in temper
nnce is not whether all people are work
ing in the same way, but whether they are
working in some way for this urgent cause.
People will never wholly agree upon meth,
eds in temperance any more than they Will
in church polity. 1t is useless to try to
round up all temperance sympathlzers IN
the fold of one society, or under the lead
srship of one reformer or one newspaper.
This is not to say that all methods are
equally good, for some are better than oth:
ers, and some may do we'll for one set OF
circumstances, but not for others. The
best methods must be sought, with char,
ity for those who differ from us. And yet
the great, insistent moral question is, not,
"Are you working in my way for temper,
ance?" but, care you conscientiously and
praverfully and definitely working in some
way to reform the drunkard, to abolish
the saloon, to educate the children, to op-
pose the expectation of American rum to
American colonies. in word, to make the
world cleaner, quieter. happier place to
live in?" That, we submit, is the question
for the individual American Christian to-
day.

Hunger and Crime and Drink - Pitlfu1
Plight of Wife Due to the Intemper.
ance of Him Who Had Sworn to Cher.
ish and Provide For Her.
She was young, only twenty-three years
of age, of good looks and neat attire. She
spoke low aid sweetiy, and her tones,
though weak, discovered person OF supe-
rior education. She had been an orphan,
had married, and but three weeks ago had
looked upon the face of her first born.
And yet she stood in the dock of the
Marylebone Police Court, hardly able to
stand, not more than able to whisper the
faltering words: II was hard pushed, or
would not have done it, in answer to the
charge preferred against her, that of steal
Id, from a shop on Chalk Farm Road.
Her child had been hungry, she had been
hungry, there was nothing in her home in
Kentish Town; in her despair she fancied
she could pledge the articles, with the
trife advanced upon them. purchase some
relief, and then when better days came
she would be able to restore four-fold that
which she was compelled so unceremo-
niously to take.
She tainted when her eyes opened to the
realization of the case, saw herself ,pr!s-
Gner, gazed at the magistrate, heard the
action. On being removed to q waiting
room the missionary attending the court
procured milk and food, which brought
back sufficient strength to enable her to
resume her trying position in the public
place, but she tainted again. At length
when the power of speech returned she
said softly that she had been without food
and her husband had been out of work.
The court was hushed, the magistrate ex-
pressed his deep sympathy. inquired as to
the cause of her husbands being unem-
ployed, but she screened the man she
loved. and would speak no word which
would cast discredit upon his name in the
garish light of that place. But the sympa,,
thy of the gentleman on the bench, and
the deep silence which pervaded the apart
ment and the evident desire on the part
of missionary and magistrate to know the
whole story, unlocked the secret which an
army could not have forced from her, and
she spoke the word in prlvate-she had
been brought into trouble through the
drinking habits of the man who had
cowed, a year before, to honor, cherish and
love her. ;,
In the interests of Annie Jennings, the
missionary bound herself over to bring her
up for Judgment when called upon, the
magistrate accepted the arrangement, gave
her some help, promised to send her TO
convalescent home, and offered good coun-
sci to the husband, who, we trust, will be

Don't Ever Marry q Drinking Man.

The Rev. Father Fox, assistant to Bishop
McFaul, in an address to mixed audience
of young men and women at Trenton. n.
j.. urged the girls to refuse to associate
with young men who were moderate drink
ers.
Moderate drinkers, he said, were great
er menace to society than habtual drunk
ards.
Father Fox warned the young women to
shun the men they intend to marry unless
they would sign the pledge.
This is what man kept repeating who
had committed murder in Mississippi and
was being led to execution: II did not mean
to do it, He was addicted to drink, and
killed Davis while drunk.
