A BATTLE FOR THE NATIONS

In a powerful address IN favor OF
temperance legislation in England,
Alexander Maclaren, the noted Eng
lish clergyman, thus epitomlzes the
battle against the drink curse:
eve might fight to the death for
the life Of the nation; for it is little
else than that which is at stake now.
We have an enemy to fight whose
power is bounded by no scruples. l

have an enemy who can be only brld-

RITRRANK ON RUM AND TOBAC-
co.

Luther Burbank, the "Plant VIZ
ard' of Santa Rosa, CAL, and prob
ably the most famous hortlcultur1st
in the world, has some positive con-
victions on the rum and tobacco
question. From a recent interview
with Champe S. Andrews, published
in the New York Times Of August >,
covering whole page of that paper,
We clip the following:
''Do you think that whiskey and
tobacco impair the faculty for
work?" T asked. He replied:
IF I answered your question SIM
ply by saying that I never use tobac-
co and alcohol in any form, and very
rarely either coffee or tea, You might
say that was a personal preference
and proved nothing. But can prove
to YOU most conclusivelv that even
the mild use of stimulants is incom-
patible with work requiring accurate
attention and definite concentration.

A Suggested Compromise.

At Il convivial party, recently, L
gentleman who had returned from a
lengthened tour in the east was relat-
ING some Of the wonderful! things he
had seen on his travels.
The yarns he spun were decidedly
"Steep," but the guests politely az
cepted his statements as true.
Encouraged by the reception ac-
corded to his talleSt stories, he VEN
tured to state that he had seen at the
foot Of the Himalayas a tiger forty
feet long from the tip Of the nose
to the tip Of the tail. This was too
: much, and everybody kept silence. un-
til gentleman from Oban dryly re-
marked:
"Oh, yes. the works o Nature
are very wonderful and very large
whatever. Just last week I saw a
skate brought ashore at Oban Which
covered a quarter Of an acre OF
ground.
Nobody spoke, and amid the silence
the eastern traveller left the ro:m.
The host, perceivig that something
was amiss, rose and followed him.
els there anything wrong?' he
asked.
II have been insulted,' said the
traveller. ''That Scotch gentleman has
dealt a blow at my veracity. anil ]
cannot return until he apologizes.'
Anxious that harmony should pre-
vail among his guests, the host re-
turned to the room and, explaining
matters to the company. asked the
Highlander to make an apology, if
,nerely for forms sake.
"Well," said he, "I'l no. just
apologize; but tell him to come back
and take few feet off the teegur,
h and we'll see what can be done VIZ
