xxxVI.-The End of the Tower and Its
BuIders.l
Builders


ceedingly, for they were engaged upon it
day and night with great zeal The tower
grew very high, that when they gaZed
from it earthward the high trees appeared in
their eyes like the grass of the field. Yet
they did not cease building it, and they made
steps the east and on the west of the
tower The carriers of brick would ascend
on the east side and come down on the west.
If man would fall from the tower and die.
they did not worry much; but If brick
would fall to the ground the builders would
assemble and weep, and they would inter it
they would inter mortal being, and they
would eXclaim: "Woe unto us. When arises
another brick in it's stead?" When God be-
held the deeds of that generation he said:
Verify they have perverted that which they
have done: but l will not destroy them, for
one good thing has been found among them,
in that they love one another and dwell to-
gether in peace" Thereupon God confused
their speech and not one of them understood
the holy tongue which they had been accus-
toned to speak. When one asked his neigh
Dor for water he would bring him sand; If
he asked for axe he would give him the
branch of tree So there ensued strife in
their midst and they ceased building the
tower God drove them from that place and
the leaders who had intended to wage
against God He turned into monkeys, who
became objects of ridicule and shame and
served as examples and prOverbial models.
A fire went out from God which destroyed a
third of the tower, the earth opened it's
mouth and swallowed another third and the
remnant of the great structure is still stand
ing to this very day.
xxxVII.-The Great STAR
Terah was seventy years old when Abram
his was born unto him. He made a great
banquet to which he invited all his retain
ers and all the wise men of the place. They
ate and drank with him. During the night
when the guests were departing for their
homes they saw a very large star illumnat-
ing the heavens. They expressed great sur
prise and made comment upon this great
sight. AS they were gazing heavenward the
star darted from the east of the sun to the
length of the heavens and it swallowed four
stars and their place was not known. The
wise men then spoke one to the other as
follows: This is naught but that the son
of Terah, born unto him. will become
very great. will slay mighty and great
EARTH In the morning the wise men told
Nimrod their king the thing which they had
seen during the night and it's Interpretation
and Nimrod trembed very much and said
What say ye | should do?' And the wise
men answered: Get this child from Terah
his father; place him in hands and
will kill him." And Nimrod said: "Ye advise
well; and now let of my servants go
and call Terah.' Terah came and stood be-
fore the king. And the king said 81 have
been informed that thy who has been
born unto thee will destroy many peoples
and will inherit the whole earth. Therefore
take for thyself as his price as much gold

A Now Sunshine Recorder.

The new Dawson-Lauder sunshine
recorder consists Of a drum on which
silver chloride paper is fastened uader
a film Of celluloid, says the London
Globe. An outer cover is rotated by
clockwork in twenty-four hours, and q
narrow slit is thus directed to the sun.
A hood protects the slit from diffused
light, and allows az error of about
half an hour in the clock before sun
light is cut off from the slit. The
drum with the sensitive paper travels
along the axis of the cylinder, so that
the record of number of days is OBJ
tanned, one below the other. The chlo-
ride of silver paper makes possible a
standard Of intensity Of sunshine
which can be reproduced. The same
size of paper, is employed nt allrsea-
soDs. and the instrument a be used
in polar as well as temperate latithdes.

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMPERANcE.

The Saloon Is the A~ntechamber of the
workhouse, Chapel of Ease to the
Asylum, Recruiting Station to the
Hospital.
Mr.. John Burns, M. p, addressed a large
meeting in Manchester last night on la.
Dor and Drink The lecture was one Of
the Lees and Roper Memorial lectures.
D.. Mr.. Burns said that the drinking habits
of the poorer classes had contributed to
their.political dependence, industrial bond
As one bred almost in the slums, who had
watchedsthe matter as a county councillor
and. az legislator, he was convinced on the
subject. He described the public house as
the antechamber Of the workhouse, the
chapel Of ease to the asylum, the recruit
ing station to the hospital, the rendezvous
for the gambler and the gathering ground
for the Jail. There was no compensation
in drink.
Dealing with the figures of the money
spent in drink; while deploring the i'm:
mense amount spent in every working
family, he answered a recent critic by
pointing out that two-thirds of the drink
bill was spent by t~hree-quarters of the
population, and only half the amount per
head was taken by the working classes az
was taken by the classes above them. But
whether the expenditure was f4 per fam.
lily or Els per family, working people
could not afordit. As to drink and trade,
he said that they were promised from I'd.
to gid. per family per week if they would
tax.bread from abroad. Why not; save 5s.
per week by leaving off beer? Our expen.
diture handicapped US in the trade battle
with Germany and America, because our
larger consumption prevented us from
spending as much money per head in other
directions, and especially on education.
He concluded a vigorous TRADE against
drink as the source Of all evils by denying
that poverty caused drink as much as drink
caused poverty, and by declaring himself
dead against municipalization as a remedy.
1t would cause drinking to become a civic
virtue. and to be regarded as local patriot

The euro by Rypnotism.

That alcoholism in Russia is widely
treated with success by hypnotism is as
serted by the writer OF a note in Cosmos.
The method. has been adopted in Govern
ment institutions, but it is believed that
the peculiar adaptability of the Russians
to this mode of treatment is largely re-
sponsible for it's good effects. Says the
writer: !.
s.The cure Of alcoholism by means of
hypnotism is the order of the day. Re-
Gently Dr.. Legrain communicated to the
Society of Hypnology and Psychology
some very interesting information regard
ing the treatment of alcoholics by hypnc-
tism in Russia. In the cities of st. Peters.
burg, Moscow, Jaroslav, kief, Saratot
and Astrakhan. there have been estab-
lished for several years, under Government
auspices, disDensaries to which the suffer
ers resort by hundreds. and where hypr,o-
tism is the principal, If not the sole, the
rapeutic agent. 1t is required of the alco-
hoiics that they desire sincerely to be
cured, and that they abstain from all spir-
ituous LIQUORS during the period Of treat
ment. This is perhaps to ask of them a
colossal effort, since their will power has
generally been destroyed, but they are
obliged to accept a continual surveillance,
and it is attempted to arneliorate their
conditions of life as-much as possible.
These means succeed very well in Russia,
but as has often been remarked, the
French drinker is much less tractabie, and
consequently the cure of alcoholics in
France is much more difficult. and much
less durable than in Russia. with us, in
fact, the alcoholic po;sons himself with es-
sences as various as they are injurious,
and it is only exceptionally that he sub
mits to treatment for a long enough time
to effect q lasting cure. 1t is none the less
true that at the present time hypnotism
is almost the so,e means OF cure for alco-
holic mania. "-Translation made for The
