Ingersol on Woman.

The following is the famous tribute Of
Col. X. 6. lngersol on "Woman."
1t takes a hundred men to make an
encampment, but ons woman can make
home. not only admire woman az
the most beautiful object ever created.
butt reverence her as the redeeminp
glory of humanity, the sanctuary of all
the virtues, the pledge of all perfect
qualities of heart and head. 1t is not
just nor right to lay the sins of men at
the feet of women. It is because. wo-
men are so much better than men, that
their faults are considered greater. A
mans desire is the foundation of his
love, but woman's desire is born Of her
love.
The one thing in this world that is
constant. the one peak that rises above
all clouds, the one window in which the
light forever burns, the one star that
darkness cannot queneh, is womaa's
love. 1t rises to the greatest heights, il
sinks to the lowest depths it forgivss
the most cruel injuriss. II is perennial
Of life, and grows in every climate.
Neither GOODNESS nor neglect, harshness
nor cruelty can extinguish it. "A wo-
mans love is the, perfume Of the heart.
This is the real love that subdues. the
earth; the love that has wrou ght eli
miracles Of art; that gives us music all
the way from the cradle song to the
grand closing symphony that bears The
soul away on wings Of fire. A love that
is greater than power, swseter than life
and stronger than death.

Drink and Athletics.

The Rev A. f. Forest of Glasgow,
recently contributed to the Christian
Leader an admirable article on The
Athlete" After dealing with the eff
fects of healthy body upon tbs
mind, he propounds the question:
But how is health to be secured? His
answer Is, (a) Beware of overwork;
(b) Take plenty of sleep; (c) Do not
neglect outdoor amusements; (d) Be
temperate in all things. Under the
latter head he says:
"A greater proportion of disease
than people imagine arises from over
eating of gluttony. Some men have
lost control of their appetites. A
dainty dish is partaken of to excess.
This is the frequent cause of apo
plexy: but, oftener, II is the cause of
physical languor and weakness and
incapacity. Frederick the Great, who
resisted the united forces of France,
Germany and Russia, succumbed at
last, to-eel-pie.
But there is a more common and
serious mistake; strong drink does
not make strong men. Eschew aico-
hol If you would enjoy perfect health.
Even in moderation it S an ovil That
some are strong who Use it is no ar
gument in its favor. The strength
OF these men is not cue to strong
drink. any more than the strength of
horse is due to the whip of the
driver. If they were to give it up
they would find themselves healthier
and stronger for their abstinence.
Alcohol is the fruitful cause of dis
ease. And its nabitual indulgence.
even Temporal ly, explains many a
troublesome stomach. and sluggish
liver and WEAKNESS after toll"

Read and Reflect.

Be sure that in writing on the sub
iect of drink we have no hope or be-
lief that what we say can be of actual
value. You cannot moralize or coax
or threaten with eloquence sufficient
to overcome the fondness for whisky.
No mere argument from another can
Offset or replace the mental eXhilara-
tion, the temporary sense of reckless
usefulness. that whisky gives.
in each human being two forces are
at war, the appetite and the intellect.
Whisky feeds the appetite and d1lls
the intellect.
The desire of this newspaper is to
supply to young men a few common
place suggestions, which shall act as
food to the brain, furnishing argu-
ments to be used by the intellect in
its fight against self-indulgence and
the craving for excitement.
OF every young man who reads this
editorial and of every old man we
ask this favor:
Don't theorize, but deal with facts
as they affect you.
When you take a drink of whisky
to-day, your first or your second or
your third, don't you know that you
would rather not take 1t; don't you
know that you would not take it If
the best side of your character really
controlled you?
The next time that you decide to
take cocktail ask yourself this ques-
tion:
Shall l be glad or sorry tomorrow
night that | took this drink"
If your conscience tells you--as 1t
will-that you will regret the self
indulgence when its effect wears off,
then be man enough to give your in
telligence control of your actions and
refuse to do now what you will regret
twenty-four hours from now.-Chi-
cago American.

Prof. Hurley on Alcohol.

In a letter published in his Life
and Letters" replying to a question
as to what he thought of alcohol as
stimulant to the brain in mental
work, Prof. Huxley said:
Speaking for myself land perhaps
| may add for persons of my tempera-
menD | can say without hesitation
that l would just as soon take dose
of arsenic as l would of alcohol, under
such circumstances. Indeed, on the
whole, should think the arsenic
safer, less likely to lead to a physical
and moral degradation. 1t will be
better to die outright than to be alco-
holized before dead. II man cannot
do brain work without stimulants of
any kind he had better turn to hard
work. 1t is an indication on natures
part that she did not mean him to be
a head worker"

Liquor Dealers Are strong.

Temperance people can well take
lesson from this statement by an ex-
pert in the liquor business in Illinois.
He says: Let me remind you that
while other state legislatures are
constantly saddling the trade with the
most villainous laws, we, in Illinois,
have been fortunate enough to be
quietly left alone for the past twenty
years, which is solely due to the fact
that We have one of the stroL gest and
most efficiently managed organize
tions In the country. firmly believe
that ii such did not exist, we would
have been ere this. well-nigh driven

Increase of Juvenile orlmIna'lty.

Increase of Juvenile Crlmina'ity.
DR. Paul GARNER, an official of the
Paris Prefecture of Police, contributes
to the Annales d'Hygiene an article
on Juvenile criminality which seems
to indicate that repressive measures
of some sort should be adopted with
out delay. Taking murder as a cri
terion, the author constructs a chart,
which is herewith reproduced, cover
ing a period of thirteen years. This
shows an increase in crime of this
kind, committed by persons between
16 and 20 years of age, from 20 in 1888
to nearly 1876 in 1900, with an aver
age ascending gradient between the
two dates, while with adults in the
same time the increase shown is only
10.
The doctor considers alcohol as the
chief agent, while admitting that
many others are concerned. in pro-
ducing this remarkable condition of
criminal precocity.
In criminology." he says. when
we count those offenses that are di-
rectly attributable to alcohol, we are
only accounting for a fraction OF
those 1t is responsible for AS to its
direct action there must be added
the indirect hereditary effects.
1t is admitted that alcoholism is a
most active agent of degeneracy, and
therefore cause of insanity and
crime; also that drinkers become the
parents of epileptics and idiots"
DR.. GARNER suggests in conclusion
that as. according to his experience,
adolescent criminals are usually the
children of alcoholic parents, the
state should provide special institu-
tions, neither jails nor hospitals, for
their education.

One day the old fellow got very

his return to the cage he had gone ia
with his tigers and fallen in a heap on
the floor.
The other keepers made several at
tempts to take him out of the cage,
but it was at once apparent that to do
so meant a bitter and bloody fight
with the tigers. They guarded him all
night in his drunken slumber. But the

A sky all luminous with sunset gold

And as the bright clouds gather fold on

Are lost I'm shadow while the lone tree
stands
Etched in black lines against field Of

Teach Evils of Drink.

The Prussian minister of education,
DR.. Studt, has, entered the fight with
an address to the national school au-
thorities in which he insists on the ne
cessity of popular enlightenment with
regard to the injurious effects of the
excessive consumption of alcoholic IL
quors. He declares that all the nation
al schools should take part in "the
struggle against the pernicious evil of
drunkeEehess, and recommends that
children should be instructed as to the
economic misery that results from the
evil at tAe same time that they are told
OF its menace to health and life. Fur
