THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF lMTEM?EatNCE.

Cocktail rinking Women Breed Deeen-

Evils He Sees in SocIety-We Even
Shock the French.
Because of the cocktail habit among
American women, a leading Paris pa

race of degenerates," was the eye
opening utterance of the Rev. Dr.. Mad
ison G. Peters in the Baptist Church
of the Epiphany, in New York City.
when France breaches morality to
America" he added, ut is time for
Americans to take notice."
The clergyman's subject was THE
Duties and Responsibilities Of Wo-
men,"
II know how common it is to impute
to women everything that goes wrong"
said he, "while their silent but diligent
exertions to make everything right are
unobserved. The evils of which 1
speak are more common among the
men than the women. But such is my
regard for woman and her influence
that / believe her example for temper
ance soon would correct the intemper-
ance on the mans side. The frequency
with which even respectable women
drink in public places is a point of
common observation. and the scenes
which shocked us a few years ago are
now passed without comment.
1T is a well-known fact that so COM
non has the drinking habit become
that the situation to a woman in So
ciety is constantly a source of embar-
raSsment if she does not drink. There
are restaurants in this city where an
extra charge is made if the diners do
not drink. The disastrous results of
tipping among women are known we'll
to physicians. Experience shows that
while men who drink often reform,
Incorporate women seldom do.
"The effect of alcohol on woman's
will power and sense of moral respon-
sibility is so we'll known that it is uni
versally conceded there is a special
danger to the woman who drinks. Of
course, no sensible man would say
that the drinking Of q glass of wine in
itself is a sin. Wines and liquors have
their legitimate uses. and may be used
benefcially, but in total abstinence lies
the only ground of absolute safety, and
I contend that were the higher classes
of society or even our church people,
both in the pulpit and the pew, to dis
continue the moderate use of drink,
drinking would be made questionable,
for fashion is only another name for
public sentiment.
women are the lawgivers; men are
the subjects. The moral interests OF
society are in the women's hands, and
if they lead in the right direction the
progress Of the race upward is assured.
Surely the fact that more than ten
thousand women were arrested in New
York for drunkenness last year ought
to be sufficient to make the people
think. The young womanhood of this
city. driven to hideous vice because of
drink, and the steady growth of the
habit. surely point to a d%eplorable out
look for the Republic"

Death Among tho Soldiers.

A Filipino student at the University
of Chicago says that "forty-fve per
cent. of the deaths Of American SOL
diers which have occurred in the army
hospital in Manila during the last five
years have been due to the liquor
habit. There were no saloons, strictly
speaking, in the Philippines prior to
the advent of the American soldiers"
He adds, "Since the American invasion
over 1900 saloons have been estab-
lished and all are enjoying a prosper
GUS trade"

He made no reply because the thing

said: Forget that man, Katharine.
He is dead and can feel no more.

She took it without hesitation.
"Dittmer," she said, "you shall be

She smiled sadly.

Every Good Act or Word Helps.

Character is made up Of small duties
faithfully performed, Of self-denial, OF
self-sacriices, Of kindly acts of love
and duty. The backbone Of character
is laid at home, and whether the con.
stitutional tendencies be good or bad,
home influences will, as a rule, fan
them into activity. Kindness begets
kindness and truth and trust will bear
a rich harvest of truth and trust.
There are many little trivial acts of
kindness which teach us more about a
mans character than many vague
Dlrases.-SmileS.

Result of q Kind Act.

Samuel F. Jones, a prominent mis-
sion worker Of Boston, says: do
you know that little things oftentimes
result in a great deal Of good! One
day a man, dead drunk, was lying
in a gutter in my native town, and a
well-known lady Of the city, as she
passed along on the sidewalk, seeing
his face upturned to the blazing rays
of the MONDAY sun, took out her lace
handkerchief and spread it over his
face. She did it for Jesus sake. And
when that man came to his senses and
found who that lady was, it resulted
in that mans conversion to God"

DEGRADING Effects OF Lfuuor.

1t is said that not an employe in the
great distilleries in Peoria, Illinois, is
allowed to drink any whisky. A proof
that liquor sellers and makers appre-
ciate the degrading effects of the ar
ticle. What other business is there
that prohibits the men engaged in it
from using their own product?

ONLY Experience Can Explain.

To obtain the control over an un-
ru!y passion or to ~disencumber ones
self of a besetting sin may be painful
as the plucking out of a right eye and
the cutting off of a right hand. Jesus
does not deny it; the words are His
own. Yet His yoke is easy and His
burden light. How is the contradlc-
ton between these two statements TO
be ~reconciled? The answer to that
question is the secret Of the Gospel.

usa Up Your Coal Dust.

Housekeepers frequently find a diff
fculty in using coal dust so as to avoid
waste. An excellent way is to place q
pieces of paper about ten inches long
and about six inches wide, pile coal
dust on it. lift carefully and place
gently on the fire. The corner of the
paper will, of course, catch fire, but
the part under the coal dust will re-
main, says Home Chat. If left undis-
turbed this will gradually burn through
and improve the fire, instead of caus-
ing the usual deafness that results
from burning coal dust.

FREQUENT EARTHQUAKES,

Prof, Ralph s. Farr. In a contrlbu-
ton TO Leslie's Weekly, makes the AS
sertion that there Is not a day on
which there is not an earthquake In
some part of this globe. He says in
Japan alone 1891 earthquakes were re-
corded between the years 1885 and 1892
The great majority Of these shocks are
only tremors, not noticed except by
instruments. Many however are suni-
clently strong 20 ondanger life and

There are two earthquake belts, we
are further told. one OF these passes
through the West Indies the MedItcr-
ranean sea. tho Caucasus and Hmla-
laya mountains, and Is called by Dc

second belt nearly enciroles the

some destructive shocks, as In the
case Of Charleston In 1855, for instance.
As to the cause OF these phenomena,
they are many. Sometimes the collapse
