Conpensat IN.

AS is known to all our readers the
all absorbing question agitating the
temperance people or England to-
day, Is the demand c" le liquor deal
ers for compensate in cases where
the magistrates Re Sc to renew liz
censes. The Rev G. Armstrong, a
Wesleyan Methodist preacher of Eng
land, in an able article printed in the
Methodist Temperance Magazine,
turns the tables upon the liquor men
when he says: Justice demands
that the publican should compensate
the State for the unspeakable dam
ages his trade has inflicted upon it."
The following are some of the
items of the bill which he says the
nation might fairly lay against the
traffic:
Item damages for the deterior-
alton of property in the neighborhood
of the license.
Item 2.--Compensation to employ
ers for all that they lose on Mondays,
and at other times, through the abb
sence of tippling workmen from their
work.
Item 3.-Compensation to employ
ers for muddle-headed work done by
boozy workmen.
Item 4.-The cost of the support of
all drink-produced paupers and pau
per-lunatics.
Item 5.--The cost of policemen,
judges, prisons and criminal pro-
cedure, as far as they are due to
drink.
Item 6.-Compensation to families
for death and sickness of members
of the family caused by drink.
Item damages for all drink
caused accidents, shipwrecks and the
like.
Item S.-Damages for all skilled
workmen whose education has been
costly to the community, and who
have not given the number Of years.
service in return that might have
been expected from them, in conse-
quence of their premature death
through alcohol.
If the State allows this traffic,
which has acquired such swollen
wealth by means of an unearned in
crement, tc go scot free with what 1t
has got, the trade ought to consider
that 1t has been treated with merciful
magnanimity.
Does the liquor traffic clamor for
Justice? 1t had better take care how
1t utters that prayer, lest God should
answer 1t! What does the law of
COD say Is justice for the OK that
gored, and for the owner who know
ingly kept it? Does the liquor traffic
ask for justice? Then justice let it
be! Justice for broken hearts, for
desolated homes, for commercial dis
aster, for the manufacture of pau
pers, lunatics, incapables and GRIM
inals. Justice for myriads of little
children perishing in hunger and
squalor, and reared in filth, disease
and moral corruption, to be the
scourge of society. Does the liquor
traffic claim it's dn9 compensation?
What is it? The chrse of the right.
eous God, whose uttermost wrath
rests upon all systems that make
traffic of the manhood which is SO
precious in His sight that He has re-
deemed 1t with the blood of His own
Son.

Colors of Birds Eggs.

A. r. Norwood, of the Leicester
(England) Museum, remarks that the
colors of birds eggs csn n q large
number of cases be traced to the ne
cesslty of protective resemblance. "
White eggs are usually laid by birds
nesting in holes in trees, or in dark
situations, like owls, woodpeckers
and some pigeons. Most birds nest
Ing on or near the ground lay eggs of
an olive green or brown ground color.
The eggs of grouse, ptarmigan and
so forth, resemble the heather among
which they are laid. Those of the
ringed plover, little tern and oyster
catcher resemble the sand aud shingle
OF the beach. The iapwing's eggs
closely simulate bare soil or dried
bents. The young chicks show sim

Our Messiah-Matt. II: SO; Luke "a:

1927; John I: ALAS.
John I: Alas. I'VE have found the
Messiah" said Andrew. For many
centuries the hope had burned in the
hearts of every patriot that a Deliv.
erer was to come who would restore
their national glory and reconstruct
their throne of David They were suf-
fering from oppression. Their kings
were gone; they were subject race.
Andrew was patriot, and he thought
he saw in Jesus their Cromwell. But
there were other ideas connected with
this idea of Messiah which lay in
the minds of some few thoughtful
ones. Out from prophecy and the
writings of the rabbis these few had
reached the conclusion that their An
ointed One was to rule also in the
empire of the heart. He was to come,
too, to deliver the soul from it's sla-
very and sin. Andrew felt a great
need that the presence of Jesus, as
he saw him, satisfied In the presence
os Jesus 1t ceased. The pain passed
away and his soul was satisfied.

Moses and all the prophets, he ex-
pounded unto them in all the scrip
lures the things concerning himself
To get the force and beauty of these
words you must read all the chapter.
Luke never wrote a more beautiful
chapter in our Lords biography than
this. These two men who were "slow
of heart to believe" were Jews. All
their life they had heard the Scrip
lures read and expounded, at home,
In the synagogue, in the temple
daily" They had been taught the
meaning of "the Messiah" They too
were expectant and eager for his
coming. Yet with Jesus in the midst
OF them, teaching, performing mira
cles, doing all that he said he would
do. they did not know him.
Matt. II: 3-6. go and show John
again those things which ye do hear
and see." Poor John the Baptist! He
was in prison, and its gloom eclipsed
his faith Once he had cried out to
the multitudes on the banks of the
river, Behold the Lamb of God" but
now he doubted and said: rs it he?"
Strange how little persecution will
oftentimes throw a cloud over our be-
lief! Jesus told these two disciples
of John to go back and tell him the
things they saw. THE blind receive
their sight, and the lame to walk. the
lepers are cleansed, and the deaf
hear, the dead are raised up" go
and tell John the things ye hear" Be
sure and tell him that the poor have
the gospel preached unto them. No
body but Christ could do all these
things. After that John was quite
content to go to his martyrdom.

This century is witnessing a revi.

says: There are no fewer than
nine tongues which since The begin.

retaken their places, politically and
in literature, among the languages of
modern Europe. The nine are Greek

Trees I'm Glasgow.

Attention has recently been direct
ed to the number OF trees in Glasgow
which are in dying state, their
sickly condition being attributed to
smoke. A correspondent mentions a
singular coincidence in regard to five
trees which John Pattison planted
in the centre of his garden in Kelvin
grove on the birth of his five sons
Two OF the sons died early in the
nineteenth century. but three lived
till after 1850. whensthere were only
three OF the trees standing. On the
night that his sou Matthew died one
of the trees fell, and on the night of
Frederick and Johns death tsome
years between), one OF the trees fell,

singular coincidence. Glasgow

Good Advice For Everybody.

No one will charge Field and
Stream with being a prohibition or
gan. The advice that journal gives
or the drink question is all the more
valuable, especially to those who fol-
low sports in northern woods in the
winter time. 1t says
Alcoholic liquor is generally worse
than useless in the woods, except in
the most extreme cases. Hot tea will
do anything that brandy or whisky
will do as stimulant, and do it
whole lot better, and it is easy to
carry sufficient amount in your
pocket to last week on the trail In
cold weather especially you should
use no liquor on the trail, as II leaves
you more susceptible to cold after its
temporary effects have passed than
you were before. In zero weather tea
Is life saver and liquor Is killer.
Very few mountain men of expert
ence carry liquor, even though they
be habitual users of 1t, preferring tea
as cold weather drink in the cold,
thin air of the high country, and use
1t freely. Tea can be made in a few
minutes under almost any circum-
stances, and will brace you up won
