Neu Guinea Justtce.

A comical vindication of the rights OF
property among the savages of New
Guinea was witnessed by missionary,
the Rev. James Chalmers. Service was
lust beginning in the little church when
a native boy came in dressed with
what he considered great magnihcence,
in shirt. AS the savages were accus-
toned to go nearly naked, this garment
made the boy very conspicuous.
The shirt had once belonged to some
white man, and the Importance it gave
the present wearer was tremendous.
But when his glory was at its height a
bigger boy appeared, hot with rage and
carrying a jacket. He fell upon the
first lad and began stripping off the
shirt. The rest of the congregation, I'M
Outstanding at once that the rightful
owner had arrived, gave him not only
sympathy, but practical aid. They rose
to their feet, and those who were near
by took part in the stripping process.
Presently the true owner was invested
in shirt and jacket, the congregation
cooled, and the service went on

Animals and Rain.

1t seems strange that no animal, un-
less it be the squirrel, seems to build
itself a shelter with the express object
of keeping off the rain, which they all
so much dislike. Monkeys are miser-
able in wet and could easily build shell
tiers If they had the sense to do so.
Gas the creatures hop disconsolately
along in the rain" writes Mr.. Kipling
in his Beast and Man In India" "or
crouch on branches, with dripping
backs set against the tree trunk as
shelter from the driving storm, they
have the air of being very sorry for
themselves" But even the orang ou-
tang, which builds small platform in
the trees on which to sleep at night,
never seems to think Of roof, though
the Dyaks say that when 1t is very
wet it covers itself with the leaves OF
the pandanus, large fern.

How Evangelint McCawley Is Fight
ing King Alcohol In Kansas.
Evangelist McCawley Of Carthage,
Kan, is hitting King Alcohol hard in
Nashburn, Kan. One Of his converts at
Washburn was q saloon keeper named
Mooney. After Mooney got religion"
he gave his stock Of wet goods, con-
sisting of eleven quarts Of whisky and
two dozen bottles Of beer, to the evan
pelist, who smashed all the bottles on
the railway track in the presence of
large crowd. John Black, druggist,
who has been several times indicted
for breaking the liquor laws, was an
other brand that McCawley yanked
from the burning.
The temperance people OF Washourn
had often tried issues with Black, but
with Door success. McCawley called
on him at his store and told him that,
while he was fighting his business,
there was no reason why they should
not be friends personally. This so
moved Black that he sold his store,

DRINK IN FRENCH ARMY.
General Coronnat's Novel Method Of
Stamping Out Inebrtety.

General CorOnnat's Novel Method Of
Stamping Out Inebrtety.
The London Standard calls attention
to the efforts which are being made by
the commander in chief of the French
troops in Indo- China to suppress drunk
enneSs.
General Coronnat in recent order OF
the day expressed his regret that, not
withstanding the warnings which had
been given the troops as to the serious
effects drinking habits had upon their
health, there was very small !diminu-
ton in the number Of cases of &ebriety
which the authorities had to deal with.
With view Of stamping out the evil,
which was particularly grave in the
colonies, the general ordered that any
soldier who from that day was punish
ed with Imprisonment for inebriety
was to wear when on leave or service
in town the big winter cape when the
troops were wearing their ordinary
overcoats in winter and the blue over
coat when the troops were wearing
their white coats in summer.
The punished men were to wear this
distinctive dress for as many days as
they had been confined to cells, and
any drinking establishment which sup
piled them with liquor during this pc
Rod, the general added, would be
placed out of bounds. The general or
dered all possible publicity to be given
this circular in order that the men who
had been punished for inebriety might
be recognized by all. The opprobrium
attaching to their special dress would
be an incentive to them not to resume
their degrading habits.

LoNDoN's DRINK BILL.
Sensational Facts Disclosed By
County Councils Medical officer.

Sensational Facts Disclosed by
Comfy Councils Medical Officer.
DIR. Hamer, assistant medical officer
of the London county council, contrib
utes some rather startling facts in re-
lation to London's drink bill. His fig
ures show that, taking the city as a
whole, each individual consumes in
day four-fifths of a pint of beer,
quarter of a pint of aerated water,
two-thirds of an ounce of wine, spirits.
ETC.; about quarter of a pint of milk,
almost one and One-quarter pints OF
hot drinks tea, soups, etc. and about
three quarters of pint of cold water,
which would be about two and three
quarter pints all told. These are only
average figures.
Reports of inspectors of lodging
houses in London are even more star
Ting. The inmates of common lodging
houses drink on an average two
quarts of beer each day" 1t is further
stated that "the dodgers appear to eat
comparatively ulllS SOliu LOou, anu
many of them spend all that is left
after paying for this and their bed
upon beer"
Another inspector Of the London
county council gives the following re-
markable instance: "a fish porter said
that he had earned in day 5s. 3d., or
about $1.3S. OF this sixpence, or IL
cents, was spent for bed, penny, or
2 cents, for food and IS. Id, or S1.24,
for beer. Coming and going during his
work he had passed particular public
house sixty times. Each time he looked
in, and at the end Of the days work he
had wound up with a final half pint.
On his own statement, therefore, he
had taken in a day sixty-one drinks,
each probably half pint, which
would mean about four gallons for the
whole day"
