That dims perchance our neighbor's .
way,
The fret ting worry. secret pain,
That may be his from day to day?
Then let no idle word of ours
Sting to his heart with more dismay.
What know we of temptations deep
That hover round him like the night.
What bitter struggles may be mis-.
What evil Influences bright?
Then be not hasty to condemn
If he has strayed from paths of right.
We know so little of the hearts
That everywhere around US beat,
SO little of the inner lives -. T. :

Gently to deal with those we meet.
Gently to deal and gently judge.

The good in every soul to see.

But by that which it strives to be.

Practical Temperance.

A method too frequently neglected,
whereby temperance may be encourag
ed, is the regulation OF the habits OF
employees in reference to liquor drink
ing. A suggestion of the method may
be gathered from the fact that the
French governor director of railroads
has written to the different societies
opposing the use of alcohol that all
the government roads have agreed to
the following: First. to discharge all
employees who persist in using spirits
and wine while on duty; second, all
persons who continue to drink shall
be dropped from the pension rolls Of
the company, and will not participate
in the endowment funds in case Of
an accident. All restaurants on the
roads are forbidden to sell spirits to
the Orkmen.-American Medicine.

Nom Alcoholic Treatment.

At a recent anniversary meeting OF
the London Temperance Hospital, sta
tistics were presented showing the
remarkable progress of the institution
since its establishment in 1873. Dur
ing 1901 no less than ,299 in-patientS
were admitted, of which number SIT

connection with 1856 casualties. The
annual report says: We recognize
and rejoice in the diminished use of
alcohol in most of the general hosp-
tails of London. but, up to the pres
ent time, the Temperance hospital is
the only one which excludes alcoholic
beverages from the dietary, but which
also conducts the non-alcoholoc treG =
ment OF disease, under constant scien-
tific observation. To prosecute this
inquiry is the special work OF our hos
pital. and that it has been pursued
with success may be inferred frorl
the TACT that out of l9.209 in-patients
treated in twenty eight years, the Wis
iting staff has not considered it need
full to prescribe alcohol. as drug, in
more than tifty-two cases, the recover

Why We Shake Hands.

To snake hands with a person is
rightly regarded as token of amity,
but very few know now this custom
arose.
According to French ethnologiSt.
whenever two men met in former
times they were accustomed to hold
up their right hands in front of them
as sign mat they had no intention or
attacking each other. This mark OF
confidence, however. did not prove
sufficient ir all cases, for a man may
hold up his right hand and yet, if he
keeps it closed. may have weapon
concealed in it, and. therefore, it b =
came the custom for the two righ. /.
hands to grasp each other. as only
thus could full assurance be given that
no weapon was concealed in either OF
them
Formerly, therefore. this gesture,
now the token OF loyalty and friend.
ship. was one of reciprocal distrust.

Mind. Mu.t r. Cultivated.

AS our booles, to be in health, must
Sc generally exercised, SO our minds,
to be in health, must be generally cul-
tivated. You would not call a man
healthy who had strong arms, but was
paralytic in his feet; nor one who
could walk well, but had no use of his
hands; nor one who could see we'll,
if he could not hear. You would not
voluntarily reduce your bodies to any
such PARTIAL developed state. Much
more then. you would not. it you could
help it, reduce you'd minds to it. Now.
your minds are endowed with a vast
number of gifts of totally different
uses-limbs of mind as it were. which,
If you don't exercise, you cripple. One
is curiosity. that is gift. capacity
of pleasure in knowing, which. If you
destroy, you make yourselves cold
end dull. Another is sympathy: the
power of sharing in the feelings of
living creatures, which, if you destroy,
You make yourselves hard and cruel.
Another Of your limbs of mind is adj
Yniration, the power OF enjoying beauty
Or ingenuity, which, If you destroy, yoI
make yourselves base and ilreverent.
Another is wit, or the power Of play
Ing with the lights on the many sides
of truth, which. if YOU destroy, YOU
make yourselves gloomy, and less use
ful and cheering TO others than you
might be. SO tnat in choosing your
way of work 1t should be your aim,
as far as possible, to bring out all
these faculties. as far as they exist
hn
but all OF them. And the way to
bring them out is simply TO concern
yourselves attentiveiy with the sub
jects OF each faculty. To cultivate
sympathy you must be among living
creatures, and thinking about them
and to cultivate admiration you must
be among beautiful things and looking

How Acorus Work.

It is as good as tonic to see the
acorns now. After a winter spent IN
luxurious ease, they are learning what
it is to earn their board and lodging.
They have thrown off their caps and,
with red faces and jackets split up
every seam. are intently engaged in
putting down taproots into the mellow
earth, digging away for dear life. As
result of this fit of industry the
woods will by and by be full of tiny
oak trees-most of them, sad to re-
late, destined to be eaten up by grubs
and fungi and such small deer An
oak just out of the cradle is a jaunty
little fellow, with a fat, Juicy stalk,
and the two chunky halves of the
acorn, probably still in the shell,
clinging to it like a lunch in a bag.

in the meal of the nut that the plantlet
subsists until it develops strength

The vanishing Ball.

With sharp penknife whlttle a
,arge cork in the form of ball an
inch in diameter. Take human hair
and form loop in it about one and
half inches long. affixing the ends to
:he ball with little wax or, better
still, by forcing the ends into the cork.
Now pass the forefinger Of your right
land through the hair loop, letting the
vail lie on the palm when you show it.
Place your lett hand over the right
and at the same time separate the
.orefnger from the second OF your
sight. Quickly push the ball with the
thumb of the right hand between the
open fingers. The ball falls at the
back of the hand, which you keep in
such position that the company can
not see the ball hanging behind. Re-
move the left hand closed as if it
contained the ball. Then open the
hand and show it empty. With a lit
tie dexterity you may with a quick
jerk throw the ball over your hand
from the back into the palm and show
that 1t has returned. For this you
must make movement as if catching
it in the air Now break off the hair
and give the ball to the company for
examination.

It is not easy to obtain good drink
ing water in HOLLAND, for it must
largely be brought from rivers in the
Interior far removed from the sea
coast. The windmills of Holland are
a picturesque part of every landscape,
but the distilleries are hardly less in
evidence. They manufacture the most
fiery spirits with so per cent alcohol
known in Holland as "Geneves," but
elsewhere as Holland gin" This is
the almost universal drink in Holland.
The government receives in taxes on
the liquor business sufficient amount

The Evil OF Whisky.

Once more we venture to discuss
with reaaers the important question
Of drink.
Once more we invite young men
and old to consider whisky. not from
the point of view of one who seeks to
impress his own will upon others, but
from the point of view of each man s
individual interest and duty.
The hope which underies these ar
ticles is this-that they may supply
arguments useful to good men and
women anxious to save sons, or
brothers. or husbands. or friends from
the effects of excessive drink.
Whisky does its work so well, it
spreads so far over the country. that
no child can fail directly or indirectly
to be acquainted with its effects.
Whisky. the poison that destroys
the affection ana morality. the enemy
that wrecks ability and defeats ambi-
ton, provides the Fncentive, the
strength and determination for crimes.
Study the face of a drunkard He
was a good man when whisky found
him. Whisky gave him the strength
to resist the appeals of his wife and
the tears Of his children-Chicago
