today was the military review at Cara

Beer and Murder.

A whisky drinker will commit
murder only under the direct excite
ment of liquor; a beer drinker is cap
able Of doing it In cold blood. Long
observation has assured us that a
large proportion of murders, deliber-
ately planned and executed without
passion or malice, with no other mo-
tive than the acquisition Of property
or money, often OF trif1ing value, are
perpetrated by beer drinkers.
We believe, further, that the hered-
itary evils of beer drinking exceed
those proceeding from ardent spirits
first, because the habit is constant,
and without paroxysmal Interrupt
tons, which admit of some recuper-
alton; secondly, because beer drink
ing is practiced by both sexes more
generally than spirit drinking; and,
thirdly, because the animalizing ten
lency is more generally transmitted.

BIG BUILDINGS MARKED DOWN.
Value of Great Insurance Structures
Away Below Their Cost.

The total cost of the present
Equitable Building in New York was
$1S,000,000. It's present value, on
the Equitable's own estimate is not
more than $15,000,O00. Only the
phenomenal growth in Broadway land
values has saved the policyholders
from a much greater loss.
The New York Life's Broadway
building cost s7,121,O00; the COM
pany now claims a valuation of only
SIS, 100000.
The Mutual's main Office building
in New York cost s17,277,O00; the
Mutual has written off more than
S6,000,000 in the last seven years.
Many of the foreign buildings show
similar depreciation.
The Equitable's Melbourne "adver-
tisement"' cost S2,S64,000; the So
ciety at present gives it a value of
only s2,000,000.
The first New York Life building
In Paris cost $1,102, 900; in 1891 the
French Government valued it at
$4,000. The present Paris build
Ing cost $2,500,000; the company
now gives it a value of S1,300.000.
The Equitable has invested $751;
$4,000 in it's fifteen Office build
ings; the insurance department, in
order to give them an earning power
Of three per cent, has placed the
value at $26, ,000-a loss of S11,-
100000. Should the properties &C
tually be sold, the depreciation
would probably be wen larger

Alcohol in Ercad.

There has been much discussion
about the quantity of alcohol con-
tanned in ordinary bread as the re-
suit Of the fermentation process to
which it is subjected before baking.
Evidently the quantity is small, but
until recently, it would appear, chem
lists have not succeeded III accurately
measuring it. Now, however, it is
announced that Dr.. o. Ponl, by an
elaborate process based upon the dis
tillation Of the bread to be tested
in a Papin ~digester, has ascertained
that ordinary bread normally con-
tains 0.753 of a gram OF alcohol for
every 100 grams OF bread, or a little
more than seven parts in 10000. 1t
is we'll to be precise, even in small
things.-Youth's Companion.

Prayer.
And Hannah prayed and said, etc

And Hannah prayed and said, etc
Il. Samuel. xi., /. ..~
The chapter from+which the above
text Is taken shows clearly that Han
nah's prayer was, nothing bptaashymn
of praise. 1t follows, therefore, that
in a Biblical sense prayer and praise
are synonymous terms. Hence the
writer of the Psalms finishes the sec
ond book with the words Here are
ended the prayers Of David, the SON
Of jesse"
Although most, II not all, Of these
prayers express only gratitude and
thanksgiving, praise is interviewer
with and implied In prayer, for both
prayer and praise emanate from one
source divine, namely, perfect faith
and belief in God. The true believer
in disclosing his heart in s~upplication
before the Almighty proves his hope
and confidence in and dependence
upon Him, and thus he tacitly acores.
and glorifies His holy name. The
unbeliever, however, never feels the
necessity of uttering words OF prayer
or praise. The people Of Israel joined
their leader, Moses, in chanting a
song of praise unto God only<iWhen
they firmly believed in Him, as it 10
said And they believed In the
Lord. etc. Then sangSMoses and
the children of Israeli" etc.
The only reason why 30 many in
u present day have become callous
and insensible to prayer and praise
is simply because their religion sfs
shallow and their belief superficial.
God dwells not in their hearts, hence
prayer never passes their lips. IT fs
true that such people, too, sometimes
resort to prayer; for instance, when
they are plunged into distress, when
any signal misfortune befals them,
they cry out in terror and despair for
help. But what a prayer! There ia
nc hope, no faith, no humility and no
resignation in such aaprayer. Its
fruitless result deterforates and de-
generates them more than ever. The
prayer of the believer, however, is
always soothing, solacing, encourag-
ing and elevating, even though un-
answered. For the supplicator will.
attribute its inefecti9ehess to- his
own unworthiness, and, thus he VIII
henceforth make efforts%to improve
his demeanor and sanctifysshiss life.s
We should, therefore, aver strive
to foster in u hearts and in the
hearts of our children true belief and
the principles Of true religion; then
the sweet voice Of genuine prayer and
praise will frequently be. raised in
our dwellings, as well as in our
houses Of worship.-Rev. DR.. Falk

CHAPTER Y.
"A Bloody Mission.

There is in the lamentably uninter-
esLing parish Of Lewisham a long
street where the numbers of the houses
attain to three figures. Standing at
the end of this street, n has before
ones eyes a lesson. in perspective.
No. 81 is occupied by Mrs. Gredge, a
lady who, like the blind beggar, has
seen better days. After the manner OF
elderly females of a brilliant past. Mrs.
Gredgc let's lodgings. and it is with her
LOGGER that we have to DO.
The yellow rays of sunset shone in
The sky over the roof line from No. As
to No. so, and lighted up the bare par
lor Of No. 81 Prout street, Lewisham.
The hideous wall paper, representing
innumcrabie baskets of impossible
flowers hanging from ~festoons of blue
ribbon attached to nothing, was shown
up in all its brilliant crudity by the
searching light.
Small portions of this ffowery
abomination were hidden by framed
prints, of which the poor workman
ship and general vulgarity prepared
one for the information in the cor
ner Of each, to the effect that they
were specimens of German enterprise.
At the table in the centre Of the
room sat a young girl. She did not
look more than twenty years of age,
though at times the expression of her
face was almost that of a woman of
forty. From q low white forehead
her dull faXen hair ose in a soft
curve before it yielded to the black
ribbon that bound it In a loop low
down on her neck. The light rested
softly on it, but failed to draw from
its smooth bands any CLEAN OF life.
She wore it parted at the side and
brushed we'll back. Her d~elicately
cut face was pale, and there was a
peculiarly drawn look about her lips,
which were very red. Mrs. GredSc
knew her lodger by the name of Miss
Marie Bakovitch; to many lovers of
music in London she was known as
the Baroness dc Nantille.
Tho whole life Of her being seemed
to DO centered in her eyes. They
were intensely blue, with almost me-
tallic CLEAN. g,

followed the line Of columns with a

word for word, but as if she were
searching for some particular news.
