giving out incorrect figures. In the
loom fixers' meeting one man aroused
great enthusiasm by roundly denouncing
merchants who had threatened to refuse
credit to his customers who are strikers.
and the landlords who had ordered out
tenants. He said that the strikers who
had been turned out OF their homes would
camp on the common before they would
give in.
The ring spinners' meeting was the best
attended and the most enthusiastic. In

The Textile council. OF course, still main
tain that the strike was certain.
One topic Of discussion was the decla-
ration by the Appleton company of four
per cent dividend on raw cotton sold dur
ing the shutdown OF the mills Some
figures were quoted which Agent South

said that the dividend was four per cent
on capitalization of $3.50. .000 not S7bO 0oO
as the Textile council claims-a total Of
$4,000. not $4,000. The Appleton sold
1900 bales of cotton not $500 He thought
that the Textile council overlooked the
fact that Lowell mills had sold raw cotton

WAS a rule which required the applicant
to present himself to an examining

committee. He was promptly turned

his lack of social standing, though the
committees decision was to the effect
that the applicant be instructed to go

Literary Aspects Of Relation.

How far is the religious effect of a
service heightened by Its liturgical
beauty? (by religious effect" we mean
its power to convey spiritual suggestion
and to engender moral determination).
For the majority we should say it was
greatly heightened; but 1t has to be
remembered that the Protestant re-
vivalists have seldom relied at all upon
literature to lend enthusiasm to their
services. There are no doubt some
minds for whom repetition destroys adj
lniraton and creates WEAKNESS; for
such an extempore service conduces to
Worship rather than liturgy. A few
people, too. are without the literary
sense at all. just as others are without
the musical sense. Again, a still small
Ter minority feel all these things only
too keenly. They are occasionally
startled by horrible fear that apart
from aesthetics they have no religious
feeling at all. For such the most Puri-
tan of all forms of worship the silent
worship of the Quakers. has the charm
of reinsurance. Nevertheless, we be-
lieve that for the many the enchant-
ment of letters conduces to worship no
less than what Vaughn. the Silurist
calls THE joy of the confluence and
company The spirit of Christianity
and the social spirit are closely allied
as closely as the spirit of great litera-
ture and of inspiration.

His Last Hone Realized.

In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889 the editor Of this paper
was among the many seekers Of
fortune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping up
on his claim he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
heat, gave him very severe diarrhpa,
which it seemed almost impossible to
check. and along in June the case be-
came SO bad that he expected to die.
One day one of his neignbors brought
him Chamberlain's Collie. Cholera and
Diarrh9a Remedy as a last hope. A
big dose was given him while he was
rolling about on the ground in great
agony, and in few minutes the dose
was repeated. The gooo effect of the
medicine was soon noticed and within
an hour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for fortnight. That one
little bottle worked a complete cure.

of the idiots of Germany are the OFF,
spring of drunkards. Half the expense
incurred by the state Tor domestic asy-
lums, orphans Institutes, and the po-
lice would be saved for the German tax
payer if an efficacious check could be
placed on alcoholism. The Increase al
the consumption of beer in south Ger
many, and especially in Bavaria, mas
caused the death rate from heart, KID
ney, and liver diseases to rise very con-
sderably. The number of persons VINO
died of heart trouble in BaVarla-the
so-called beer-drinkers heart-has
doubled within the space of ten years.
The German nation seems now TO be
awakening TO a sense of the fact that
alcohol is both excessive and deleter-
ious. In the olden times the early Ger
mans drank deeply over their feasts
and on special occasions, but their daily
potions were not of the same strength
as modern spirits or modern beer. All
authorities in Germany on social ques-
tons are agreed that the abuse of alco-
hol is casually connected in their coun-
try with crime. insanity, and the oc
currence of accidents in factories. One
of the state inspectors at Elbing, re-
ferring to this very cause, called it "the
workmans greatest enemy" Details
of the effect of drink on the frequency
of accidents in German factories can
be found in the reports of the imperial
board of insurance. The important
point insisted upon is that the mis-
chief takes place when the men are on
ly somewhat excited after the con-
sumption of alcohol, when it is no ques
ton of drunkenness. 1t is therefore
should be absolutely prohibited before
and during the hours of work. In
some of the workmen's corporations
the men are actually forbidden to take
spirits with them when they go to
work. or to have them sent to them
when at work. For example, the cor
poration connected with the chemical
spirituous liquors on the premises OF
industry, strictly forbide the use of

Altho it be true that the consumption
of spirits (schnaps) is on the decrease
in Germany, and that on the whole the
better situated classes in the empire
drink less alcohol than formerly, 1t is
universities in regard to beer have not
appreciably changed, and that the mid
die and working classes have not as q
body grasped the significance of the ex-
cessive consumption of alcohol.

more than in the other three countries

persons in quite well-situated families

that 10 per cent of all offenses and

connection with spirits. Further, it has
been said that 80 per cent of the occu-
