CHANGES IN THE DRINK HABIT
illustrated In the Lives of the PeODle
of Italy and Spain In
Late Years.

1t is known that cattle when turned
into new pastures have died in great
numbers from eating poisonous herbs.
But some have survived and have
learned by experience to avoid the
herbs that nearly killed them; and in
the processes of evolution they have
communicated a strong distaste for
these herbs to their offspring, says the
Philadelphia Record. mething like
this has taken place among the peo-
pie of Italy and Spain, who have never
been subject to prohibitory laws or to
any laws in restraint of their drinking
habits. The literature of these nations
shows that they were once very much
addicted to drunkenness, and now they
are the most sober people on the face
Of the earth in the midst of the most
abundant means Of gratifying the APP
petite for drink.
There is no question that a revolu-
tion like that in Italy in regard to drink
is going on among the people of the
United States. Making all allowance
for the production of "moonshine"
whisky under the temptation of evad-
ing an excessive internal tax, the de-
cline in the consumption of distilled
spirits is not merely relative, but abso-
Lutte. Thirty years ago the consump-
tion of distilled spirits was not far
from two gallons per capita, and in a
former generation it was as high as
four gallons per capita. Now the con-
sumption is little more than one gal
Ion per head of the population, while
IL should be borne in mind at the same
time that there is a much greater rela.
tive use of spirits in the arts and man
ufactures than in former periods. De-
spite this decline in the consumption Of
spirits there has been no correspond
ing increase in the consumption Of beer
and wine.

COMBINING WITH THE DEAD.
A Strong and Universal Tendency of
the Living That Has Survived
Attempts mt Suppression.

The tendency to commune with the
dead and to pray for them is strong
and universal. 1t survives whatever
systems of whatever creeds men may
invent for its suppression. Samuel
Johnson is professedly stanch Prot
estant, bristling with prejudices, but
a delicate moral sense enters the rug
ged manhood of his nature, says a
writer in Donahue's Magazine. In
stinctively he seeks to commune with
his departed wife after the manner
dear to the Catholic heart, but forbid
den to the Protestant. He keeps the
anniversary of her death and he COM
poses beautiful prayer, full of Cath
Ole sentiment, for the repose of her
soul. Tennyson has the same thought
beautifully expressed in his "Morte
d. Arthur" He makes this hero say:
More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore,
let thy voice
Rise like fountain for me night and
day
The great Cardinal Newman, before
he found rest within the bosom of the
church, penned these beautiful lines:
'IIelp. Lord. the souls which Thou hast
made,
The souls to Thee so dear,
In prison. for the debt unpaid
or sins committed here"
Later in life, when his wanderings
in quest of truth were over, he wrote
that exquisite poem, "The Dream Of
Gerontius," in which he causes the
angel to say to the souls it tenderly
consigns to the golden prison:
Farewell but not foreverl brother. dear.
BE brave and patient on thy bed Of sor-
row;
Swiftly shall pass thy night Of trial here.
And will come and wake thee on the
morrow

CONTAMINATION. Of Pa.tor..

In the ministry, service and salary
are not coequal terms. The high Of
flee was not created for the advan-
tage of the holder, and the calling is
degraded into mere profession
when it made the subject of money
equivalents. The work of the minis
try is more especially in the realm
of the moral and spiritual, and there
fore can never be financially com.
pensated in any exhaustive CONNER.
cial sense" Nevertheless, the minis
ter adapted by conduct and learning
to his high calling ordinarily does
have, and should have, salary pro-
portionate to the demands of the field
he Is tilling, and compensations far
more satisfying and worthy of con-
sideration than salaries.-Century.

GROWTH OF PHILIPPINE TRADE
Gratifying improvement In business
Conditions I'm Our New
Territory.

Although conditions in some parts OF
the PHILIPPINE archipelago are not pros
porous, owing to events beyond human
control, there is evidence of gratifying
improvement in the condition of the
archipelago as whole, in the increase
in the export trade that is shown in the
latest statement compiled by the bu'
reau of insular affairs, says the Albany
Journal.
For the month of September, which
is the latest period concerning which
statistics are available, the export
trade of the islands amounted to 3d.
5S9,535, which makes the record for
any month that has elapsed since the
United States took possession of the
islands.
The total value of Philippine exports
for five months is $19,239,01S, against
SIS, $50, 79s for the corresponding period
of the previous year.
Imports, too, have increased. In Sep
TENDER last those of merchandise
amounted to $2,7s5, OO9, or about $780,
900 more than IN September of 1901.
This shows that the purchasing power
of the Filipinos has increased, despite
the unfortunate happenings that have
temporarily impoverished certain dis
tricts.
Barring the unforeseen. there should
be henceforth steady increase in the
trade Of the Philippines, and especially
their trade with the United States,
soon to be facilitated by the establish
ment of communication by cable,
should develop healthy growth.

GOOD ENOUGH If YOU SING.

Sing! Let your heart be happy;
Pretty good world of oursl
Plenty of JOY and contentment.
Plenty of sunlight and flowers;
Love enough here for the millions:
Share II wherever It's found.
And sing till a great. gladstone chorus
Re-echoes the world around.
May be that fortune has Stunned you;
Just think IL Is better gone by,
And spring to your feet where you're
signing,
And carol song to the sky.
Sing! There's sun In the heavens!
Help II to brighten the day:
Sing, and the world will be better.
And roses will bloom by the way.
Sing, for you know it's contagious;
Others will join in your song,
Begetting the love and the laughter
That carries this old world along;
All nature around you will hum 1t,
While beacons of goodness will swing
Out from the gloom of the darkness
It's good enough world IL you sing.
