SpurgeOn'S Wit and Wisdom.

Some excellent sayings of the
late @. H. Spurgeou are given
in volume of Personal Remin-
iscences" by the Rev. William
Williams. Here are some of
them:
Il don't like dancing. 1t was
through dance that the first
Baptist minister lost his head,
and [ may we'll be afraid of it,
mind your illustrations are
correct. 1t will never do to
describe Noah as one did, sit
ting outside the ark reading
the Bible"
always get the true mean
ing of a text. One preacher
took He for Our Prof t. and
preached on The Prophe tical
Office of Christ. "
Mind your fl cures Of speech
are not cracked. DJn't talk
like the brother who said, II
fly from star to star, from cher
ry-beam to cherry beam :"
Get amongst your people,
or somebody may be saying of
you as one old lady said Of her
minister, that he was invisible
all the week and incomprehen.
sible on Sundays"
"Shun all affectation in the
pulpit, and mind you never get
into the goody-goody style. One
of this sort once said, L was
reading this morning in dear
Hebrews

mon suits yourself. A beard

Fishing at Night.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 It isn't necessary any longer for boy to play truant or a man to take day off If he wants to 20 fishing-that is if he fishes from the sea wall of the Battery.
 Every fine summer evening one may see from twenty to thirty anglers between the Aquarium and the barge office watching their lines by ,Ae gleam of the arc lights and pulling in fish with far better luck than those who go there in the daytime. West of the Aquarum. towar, tne fire boat pier, the fish don't seem to bite much.
 Ct is darker there. and the .-nny AlttIe denizens of the deep seem to be attracted by the electric lights. To tne throng that goes to the Battery to cool off in the eyen- ings these night anglers are a constant source of interest. Even the policemen on duty take hand in the game.

Scientific Diagnosis of Causes Which

From American Medicine
 If it Is true that inebriety is a disease one must marvel that the disease has received so little study of a genuinely in- ductive and scientific kind Almost the only study of the kind which we have seen'is by Charles F. Applegate, superin- tendent of the Iowa Mt. Pleasant State Hospital Bulletin Iowa Institutions, April, 1903. The patients subjected to examina- ton numbered 150, six of whom were wo- men, Investigation was made as to an- cestry, heredity. age and nationality, be- ginnings of the habit. occupation, educa- ton, religion, domestic relations, use of tobacco or other narcotics kinds of liquor used, physical examination, blood tests, urinalysis, treatment, etc. As to the treatment, Dr. Applegate, while urging that there can be none that is uniform for all patients, thinks that the Willis Parker Cure, the Tracy Cure, the suggestive, hyp- notic, osteopathic, an, o,ner "cures" have much more of tendency to cause other diseases to progress than to cure true in- ebriety." Of the Keely Cure he says, Tt has done some good in a few cases, in others much harm. and has failed utterly to cure the disease" Ninety per cent of the patients are sufferers from other dis eases, is reason enough why no one treat ment Is sufficient In sixty-three out of the 150 cases there was some ocular lesion, muscular, nervous or optic. but in all the methods of treatment described none, ap-' parently. was especially directed to the eyes. In fifty-two out of the 150 cases se- we're and prolonged dyspepsia is the most evident and complained of symptom. The casual relation of drinking to insanity, crime, etc. is vividly pointed out, and as to syphilis, 1t certainly existed in fifteen. probably in forty-seven, and was suspect ed in thirty-four of Dr. Applegate's cases. Tn little town of southern Iowa of nearly 1000 people I found they had con stunned in one year 540O gallons of spurious liquors. There were nine drug stores; no saloonsn

 The hens of the United States alone during the year 1902 deposited In and around the barns and chicken houses 16,- OO00 900 eggs. always taking care to an- nounce each separate deposit with tri- umphant cackle, to the end that the same might be recorded. These white pellets brought in the markets fully $l5O,- O00OOO. an amount which. combined with the worth of the poultry, $l39 100000, is nearly double the value of all the precious metals yielded up by the bosom of old Mother Earth during the period named and six times greater than all the wool feeced from the backs or all the sheep in this country for the same year.

The shIrk In Religion.


 Now. if you despise a shirk in pleasure and despise shirlx in business, how Is it that you are willing to be shirk in religion? You, my brother, believing In Jesus Christ and hoping some day to be eternally saved by His blood ought m common honesty to fully realize that your actions toward the church are just as desplcabe and contemptible as the shirking characteristics which you de- spise in others. You are practically say ing to yourself: "I want to some day reach heaven; but in the meantime l want my wife. my mother, my sister, my daughter. to do all my praying and work ing in the church. When l am in my last sickness I want their minister to come and fix things all up for me in spirit ual sense. And when l am dead want their minister to state over my casket that l have repented at the eleventh hour and have been saved all right. In other words. l want to win every Joy
