Women Less Religious.

ciety, discussing Justice Plowdex
statement that woman's nature Isl

thing was certain: Women were da1

Drink and Insanity,

TEMPERANCE statistics have often
been %ridiculed, but it Is quite easy
to get as accurate statistics on some
of the bad effects of the liquor trafhc
as upon any other subject. Nobody
will dispute figures prepared by Dr.
Daniel Clarke, late superintendent
of the lunatic asylum in Toronto.
DR.. Clarke testified before the Com
mission that out Of 5000 cases OF in
sanity he had examined, nine and
one-half per cent. were produced by
drink. In round numbers, one lu-
natic in every ten was made a una
tic by liquor. That means that there
are seventy human beings in the To-
ronto asylum who lost their reason
by drink, and a proportionate num-
Der in the Kingston, Hamilton and
London asylums. But this Is not
all. As DR.. Clarke testified, insan-
ity is often produced by combined
causes. The drink habit may COM
bine with domestic trouble, worry,
overwork, or any other of the excit-
ing causes that make lunatlcs. 1t
is the sole or main u OF lnsan-
ity in one case out of every ten, and
a contributing cause in many others.
There, then, we have n awful fact
made clear. and that, too, by one of
the most distinguished specialists on
the continent. The next time you
pass the Toronto Asylum, just re-
member that one in every ten of the
creatures behind those walls, bereft
of Gods highest gift, was put there
by drink.-Canadian White Ribbon
Tidings.

Kentucky Masons Against Whisky.

kentucky MaSOnS Against WHISKY.
The large whisky membership in
the Masonic order of Kentucky feels
keenly the action of the Grand
Lodge in excluding them from mem
bership in the lodge. While it does
not affect those already in the lodge
the ruling prevents others from be-
ing taken in, and it is feared that at
the expiration of a year, when the
constitutional amendment is voted
ON, the action Of the last Grand
Lodge will be made a fundamental
principle of the organization in that
State. The Masonic Lodge of Ken
lucky holds in its membership whis-
ky men who are among its most lib
eral supporters.-Mida' Criterion.
Crimes From Whisky Predominant.

and women for murder in my life,
and nineteen out of twenty Of the
crimes were caused by whisky; I
have defended lots of other Grimm

saying that nineteen out Of twenty
of them were caused by liquor. Whis-
ky is the most demoralizing thing
in the world. Men do not usually

rob and kill, but when they get it in
them they are ready for any sort Of

Michener said. only with spiritual help.
4 man would be fighting a ioOsing bat

Christ Believe ia the teachings OF the
faith and live up 10 them as nearly as
you now can. and in time you Will have
added strength with which TO combat the
many temptations which now assan you
and which you cannot now overcome" p"
Mr.. Michener then spoke OF the weaken
ing in mems natures which occurred with
out any outward signs being shown as
"a warning. He used as an explanation
of this transformation a railroad wreck
which occurred in the West from the
decayiug Of bridge posts which had been
attacked by worms. These poles he
said, were solid 20 al outward appear
ances. but when a heavily laden train
was passing over the bridge supported
by them IL collapsed. causing much in
jury and damage. So the human frame
weakens from sin. though 10 outward

up the sin of profanity, and said that
men who used prOfane language should
therefore, be Stunned.

only in the blue mud that makes good
