Panics and Religions Books.

There is one kind of business, accord
ing to a New York man prominent in
it, that does not enjoy easy financial
conditions. 1t is that of publishing de-
votional and religious literature. This
publisher explained this anomalous
condition as follows:
when everybody is prosperous,
there is no very great demand for our
publications. People are happy, and
they do not go to church to any great
extent. Preachers will tell you that
church attendance is never so good in
prosperous times as it is in periods Of
financial straits.
"Let a panic come on. however At
first our business feels it as keenly as
any other line. People suddenly cease
buying everything except what they
are obliged to have. AS times fail to
improve, people take more to going to
church. Attendance increases very
perceptibly. In few weeks we can
tell it in our business. There is a
greatly increased demand for devo-
tional books of all kinds. The bust
ness increases, and at the very height
of the financial troubles we do the
largest business. AS times get better
| you can see our trade in this line Of
publications gradually drop off until,
4 when prosperity again comes round,
we settle down to a normal business
quite different from the boom we had
been enjoying."-New York Times.

A Rotary Hand Fan.

An odd sort of contrivance and one
peculiarly modern is rotary hand fan
that is run by pressure upon the han
dies, somewhat like those of a glove
stretcher or a curling tongs, and held
in one hand in the same manner. The
fan is three -bladed and about six
inches in diameter, and in appearance
like an electric fan. 1t is protected
by q guard in the same way, and the
guard and the fan itself are collapse
bic. so that when not in use the con-
trivance can be folded into compara-
lively small compass. In use the fan
turns on spindle to which Is attached
a very simple gearing that is operated
by pressure upon the two handles.
When the handles have been pressed
together a spring attached opens them
out again ready for another pressure.
The rotation of the fan is continuously
in the same direction, like that Of any
rotary fan, and it turns at a high speed.
This fan is used for the ordinary pur-
poses of n fan, and various special
uses are suggested for it, such as dust
ing bric-a-brac. drying hair, and so on.

CHAPTER XXI.

THE BARON Is BOOKED FOR VALPARAISO
In the first place." remarks Mr..
Grimes, in that steady voice Of his
that never deviates, no matter what
the excitement around him, 1--WE must
have the secret cooperation of the au-
thorities in anything we undertake."
There will be no trouble about that
Il have already put a flea in their
ear. They know who the baron is and
what the nature of his mission to In
dia may be. Naturally then they hate
him-naturally it is to their interest
to dispose Of this spy who comes ia
foment trouble. The question Is how
far will they go:"
"You can see some Of them again.
Joe?
Readily, sir"
"Then we must fight fire with fire.
Since the baron has inaugurated this
system Of tactics, We'll give him all he
wants. His Russian ways don't go
with people from the States. I wish
we had him out there. A moose and
the limb of tree would transport him
to eternity, unless we thought it best
to use a coat of tar and ornament 1t
with feathers"
"That would be a prime ending Of
the game, sir, but unfortunately we
are in a country where such enlight-
ened arts are not known. Besides,
the Government would be held respon-
sible for such a public taking-of. 1t
will be better for US to have him trans
ported"
"Certainly." remarks Joe, although
he does not yet grasp the idea that IS
slowly taking, form in the others
brain.
in order to accomplish that, you
and I must exercise our minds and ar
range a plan by means of which the
baron will step into trap. We know
his cunning. and whatever is done VIII
have to be sugar-coated."
"That is quite right, Mr.. Grimes"

comes hustle and confusion. AS the
hour grows nearer noon this enthu-
siasm will gradually die out and leave
a sort of lethargy in its place. common
to all warm climates.
Mynheer Joe is early on foot, and
awaits the coming Of his friend. When
Mr.. Grimes finally shows up he is
greeted with wink and q beckoning
finger that draws him over to retired
spot, anxious to learn what new deV'
iltry is in the wind.
Rapidly Joe sketches the adventure
of the preceding night. The lapse OF
time has not changed his mind with
regard to things, and he sees matters
in Just as serious light as when the
events occurred ten hours before.
Mr.. Grimes hears the story gravely.
He makes a good listener, for he says
nothing until the end is reached. but
all the while he keeps up a-thinking.
OF all people he is the last to make a
mountain out of mole-hill, but there
can be no Disgusting the fact that their
situation Is desperate when a man like
the baron can set such diaboical ma
chinery in motion against them.
He agrees with Mynheer Joe that
| the time has come to strike back.
Perhaps his methods may differ from
those Of the traveller, for Mr.. Grimes
is a believer in the homeopathic
adage, similia similibus cufantur-like
is cured by like. When in Rome he
does as the Romans do, and adapts
himself to circumstances. This has
been one reason for his remarkable
success. To q certain extent Mynheer
Joe has followed the same plan, but
he cannot go SO far as his friend in
these matters, drawing the line at
certain point.
Thus, in order to meet at common
level these two must both give way.
1t is advice Joe seeks, nothing more.
Mr.. Grimes ponders over the mat
ter. He does not often act from i'm
pulse, and chews the cud Of reflection
at the beginning Of a crisis, not when
it has passed by, his policy being that
an ounce of prevention is better than
q pound Of cure.
Finally he turns around and lays
his finger upon the arm Of the trav-
eler. The light in his eye proclaims
that he has conceived an idea, and
Joe feels satisfied something is COM
ing which it will pay him we'll to lay
hold of-something that may cause the
baron to believe he has struck an ava
lanche.
"Mynheer Joe, we must be up and
doing. This. miserable Russian shall
not say he has beaten three Yankees
in game. I know your principles and
respect them, but the baron is an OBJ
stacle to our progress. He must be
removed"

A New Point Of View.

Listen to the appeal Of the late DR..
John Hall: Fathers, do without it for the
sake of your young sons il for no other
reason. How can you tell but that their
swift feet may trip to that destruction on
this side of which your slower feet have
been able to halt?" The Christian prin.
ciple should persuade you to leave off
drinking for the sake of the weakest and
lowliest, and certainly for the sake of
those in your own household. Let the
young men of your families do as you may
think it right for you to do. and what
fearful probabilities loom up before you!
Dr.. Mott used to remark how those young
men who at college persisted in the use
of intoxicating drinks soon sank into OBJ
scurity and often into drunkards' graves:
It is hazardous, then, to form habits
which are so frequently fatal, and it is
becoming in all Christian and well dis
posed people to exercise by their example
O commepdable, salutary and restraining
influence over men generally. These are
the principles which make the early tenn
perance reformation so mighty. These
are the principles which have swept the
use of Intoxicating drinks out of three
fourths of the prosperous, respectable and
intelligent families of America: - Rev.

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMPERANcE

Drunkenness is Not Hereditary - Late
on Inebriety Selected by the Loa
don Medical Society.
The drunkard can no longer lay his in d.
ebrlety to bibulous ancestors. The man
who drinks to excess cannot claim public
indulgence on the theory that he inherited
taste for alcoholic stimulants from his
parents. A craving for drink, in fact,
cannot be transmitted from parents to
children.
These are the conclusions of commit
tee on inebriety selected by the London
Medical Society to investigate the reia-
tlon OF hered:ty to inebriety. The COM
mittee was composed of five physicians,
two surgeons, a professor of bacteriology,
an army surgeon and five general practi-
tioners. After eighteen months of inves-
tigation of all phases OF drunkenness un-
der all sorts of conditions and environ
ments the committee has made a report
which completely upsets many Of the ia
vorite notions of temperance reformers
and sociologists.
1t has been stubbornly contended for a
century or more that inebriety is heredi-
tary in many instances, that the tend
ency to drunkenness is capable of trans
mission to offspring. 1t is true, however,
that this contention has been always Wig.
:,rously combated by the highest medical
authorities. The report just published
declares that there is no evidence in the
history of the race that acquired charac.
ters of any kind are heritable. The last
word of science, as declared by teachers
of physiology, biology and botany, is a
very definite assertion that no instance of
the hereditary transmission of an ac-
quired taste or characteristic has ever
been demonstrated either in the animal
or the vegetable kindom.
If man having no inborn tendency to
excess, yet acquire drunken habits, his
progeny are no more in danger than are
those of his neighbor. says the report.
The whole question of drunkenness is a
matter of environment and an innate ca
pacity to enjoy the exhilaration that
comes from alcoholic indulgence. 1t is
not denied that drunken parents who be-
come thus mentally and physically weak
are liable to have children weak in body
and feeble in mind. But instances of in
ebriated fathers having sons who found
no pleasure in alcoholic indulgence are
numberless.
If the conclusions of the society are &C.
cepted they relieve the ancestors of
drunkards of heavy responsibility and
brush away the only claim which the in
ebriate appears to have upon public in
diligence and sympathy.

Lithographic Stone Found.

Eugene Leary, of the United States Geo
logical Survey, has been investigating q
find of photographic stone near Mount
Sterling, Ky. He said: ,"Lithographic
stone is very rare. None has ever been
found in this country before in quantities
worth mentioning. All that We use comes
from Germany, and costs forty or fifty
cents a pound I'd rather own that de:
posit near Mount Sterling than any gold
mine I ever heard of. There is no reason
why the quarry should not control the
market in this country. There is no litho-
graphic stone anywhere else, so far as
known, and there will be no difficulty
competing with the German product.

A Sham Reform.

As an evidence of the way in which the
evil OF intemperance seeks to gain popu-

a public house at Broomhill, England, has
adopted the Gothenburg principles, He
devotes the profits (ess ten per cent? to
schemes for the benefit Of the inhabitants
OF the village, and has addressed the mag
istrates in various divisions of Northum'
berland urging them to give preference in
the case of new licenses to applicants who
would adopt that principle. The London
Christian comments on this by saying:

children upward, with the other"
