Those from Kom Ombo are Of Roman
and those from Gizeh Of Ptolmaic age.
A large number Of them. according to
NM. Lortet and Gaillard. have not
hitherto been found among mummied
birds. and 1t Is remarkable that the
white ibis is q larger bird than the ex.
isting white Ibis Of Subia and the

Three Evil Practices.

In behalf Of temperance there are some
simple things which may be advocated with
good results. Practical business men gen.
orally agree that large part Of all the
evils of drunkenness are caused by three
practices. namely, drinking at bars, drink.
ing in business hours and the habit OF
treating. It is generally agreed by COM
mercial travellers, and all who in active life
see human nature at all angles, that more
temptation comes out OF these three prac-
tices than from any other source. Treat
ing. especially, is responsible for many
evils. It not only leads to drinking in bar
rooms and in business hours, but IL il a.
most the sole cause Of the excess which,
practiced indefinitely, finally becomes =
habi. always difficult to overcome, some
times impossible. Business men are more
and more coming to the decision that
drinking in business hours must be abol.
ished. By and by they will 60 further and
characterize the habit of treating a. per.
nicious and therefore ungentlemanly, un-
social and undesirable. The habit Of treat
ing has ridiculous side. II that could te

be laughed out OF existence.

A Warning.

Henry Ward Beecher, whose sermons
en temperance every young man should
lead, said this:
III you say, Yes, I have a natural cray.
ing for it, and then to you I say, That In
the very reason why you should not take
it. II you have no craving for IL why
should you peril yourself by It! And IL VOC
have such a craving, surely, If you ara
wise wise, you will not put yourself in danger
Look at the thing from the viewpoint Of
your own interest.
II you had to employ young men to work
for you You would avoid drinking men.
Then don't drink whisky yourself. Don't
give every successful, conservative man the
best OF reasons for mistrusting you.
Very often moral cowardice underlies the
beginning OF drunken career. There are
ideas OF good fellowship associated with
drinking.
A hundred thousand young men drink
every day because they are afraid people
will think they are not good fellows"
Have the courage to be good fellow Of
the kind that is not picked in whisky.
When man wonders at your ordering
some harmless stuff, something free from
alcohol, point to the drunkard at the other
end Of the bar and say:

to believe that what hurt him may hurt
