We wish to answer seriously
seemingly flippant inquiry, om0ting.
OF course, the signature OF the writer:
ITO the Editor Of the Chicago Am
erican: VIII you tell me how | man
age to think my most beautiful thinks
in drink"
We answer your question with great
pleasure.
Some men really do their best work
under the influence OF drink, for this
reason: Drink has weakened their
nerves and put their constitutions and
vitality permanently below par
They do their best work when they
drink, just as a poor, thin. abused,
tired cart horse does his best work
when he is lashed with a whip. This
does not speak well for the whip, does
1t? 1t does not prove that the lashing
of the horse is a noble process, or the
whip an admirable instrument. It
simply proves that If you abuse an
unfortunate creature and render him
unfit for work you must abuse him
still more to get little work out of
him.
You think your most beautiful
thoughts in drink for various reasons.
In the first place, when you drink
you are quite easily pleased, and you
are pleased most easily with yourself
II you were sober your thoughts
would not seem so beautiful to you.
Often what you think, in drink, yCI
woRd be very sorry to hear repeated
in your dull, sober hours.
In the second place. feeling is essen
tial to any strong thinking 1t is es-
sential to the expression of any strong
emotion.
The man who drinks hard. or even
comes to rely to any extent upon
drink has dead nerves and a dead i'm
agination, when his drink time is over.
Drink sets the heart to beating 1t
sets the blood to pumping through
the brain, it stimulates the mysterioL =
combustion of matter which results in
thought, and emotion becomes strong
er in proportion to the strength that
accompanies this combustion.
The coward wants to fight when he
is drunk. He has some feeling. The
duh mind gets imaginative. 1t has
some feeling.
/. This does not glorify the coward or
make the dull mind better. 1t usually
makes both ridiculous and pathetic.
in addition to being cowardly and
dull.
Stop drinking for six months, sleep
two hours more per day than yea
sleep at present, take in more fresh
air, think steadily and soberly instead
of talking boisterously, as you prob
ably do now. We venture to predict
that you will soon find springing up
in your head some very acceptable
thinks" with which drink will have
nothing to do.

Why Drink WhIAkH at Ally

Possibly many young men will say.
There are thousands of men who
drink whisky moderately and | can be
one of them"
Perhaps you can. But you know
that in China there are millions OF
men that smoke opium moderately.
Would you, on that account, decide
to be a moderate opium smoker?
Not at all You would say to your
self Others may guess about the
effects of opium. l know that | shall
never be an opium fiend for the very
simple reason that | shall let opium
alone"
Why not take the same attitude to-
ward whisky? 1t does in one year
as much harm as opium could do in a
hundred. Why not say to yourself:

fere with me, because ! shall never in
terfere with whisky. | shall let it

His messages had been poorly re-

He saw nothing clearly, but was shad-

heart. He sat at his familiar desk
with his face buried in his hands.
Over the desk hung Hotmann's picture
OF Christ among the Doctors" an iu-
spiration generally now forgotten. His
little boy came to the door, wanting
to see him. The minister turned ir-

Revolution by Richard Mott and is
said to be the oil lest structure on the
island, is being torn down because it
is unsafe. The building was erected
in 1771 and many artists have

When the Revolutionary war was

ing these 100 years the board OF home
missions has received and expended
S23,000,O 900, has helped to build $500
churches, and has issued $4,000 com
missions to missionaries. Its income
in the year 1902 was 81, 500. and 1t had
just closed its year 1902, showing an
income Of 1901 400. Practically all
Presbyterian churches west of the Al

fact that the principles the institu-

rempnranc. md Ob.tinacn.

The temperance principles of the reg
lment of Illinois Infantry Volunteers,
known as the One Hundred and Two
Dozen" are well illustrated in an in
cident related by the regimental chap
lain. In the battle OF Champion Hin,
Orderly Sergeant Abram Newland,
Company ID. was shot in the face, and
left to die on the field. but was picked
up later and carried to the hospital.
Sergeant Newland's jaw and mouth
seemed to be all shot to pieces, and he
was in a sinking condition. Seeing
this the sergeant ordered him to have
little brandy. which the dying man,
as they thought him to be, refused.
The surgeon told him he must take
some stimulant or die.
Newland motioned for paper and
pencil and wrote, IF | die. die sob
err"
This obstinacy angered the surgeon
for a moment and he muttered. Die
then" But his kind heart conquered.
and he gave the sergeant the best of
attention, and saw him recover with
scarcely trace of a wound. The sur
geon remarked afterward:
Sergeant Newland was too obstin-
ate to take brandy, but no doubt, HIS
temperance principles saved his life.

CSIstic showers Fan Around Itaiys
Famous Crater.


Famous Crater
singular phenomenon has occur
fed this year and has caused consider.
able damage in the villages around
Vesuvius, says Consul Neville Rolfe
in his report on the trade of South
Italy for 1901. The volcano is con-
stantly pouring out a large cloud OF
steam from its summit This steam is
highly charged with hydrochloric acid,
and shower of rain falling through
1t becomes impregnated with this acid,
and falling on the growing crops
burns all the young shoots. No doubt
some special atmospheric or other
conditions must have been present,
because the mountain has poured out
its steam and the rain must have
fallen through it for centuries with
out the same result occurring, and In
fact the phenomenon only lasted foi
about month in the spring. Durini
this month, however, the sproutin, /,
vines suffered severely, both leaves
and buds being shriveled up, and haV-
ing the appearance of having been
burnt, and in the case of the villages
nearest the mountain the cereals
growing below the vines are seriously
damaged, and in some cases de.
stroyed, says the London Globe.
Fortunately the vines which were
the most forward suffered the least,
but the damage was so widespread
that it reached Palma, near Nola.
where the produce consists of hazel
nuts, which are indigenous to the dis
trict, and are grown for export in
large quantities. These have been
practically ruined, all the young
shoots being destroyed. 1t is hoped
that the mischief will not extend itsel,
to the plants themselves. and that
only this years crop will be lost.
