Poisoning Arrow Heads.

AN old Cherokee Indian recently
gave away this secret Of how the In
dams of .olden times used to poison
their arrow heads for war purposes
or for killing bears. They took a
fresh deer liver, fastened it to a long
pole, and then went to certain places
where they knew they would find
r~attlesnakes in abundance. About
midday the rattlers are all out Of
their dens, coiled up in the cooking
sun. The bucks would poke the first
rattler they found with the liver on
the long pole. A RATHER, unlike COM
mon snakes, always shows fight in
preference to escaping. The snake
would thus repeatedly strike at the
liver with it's fangs until its poison
was all used up, whereupon it would
quit striking and try slowly to move
on. The bucks would then hunt up
another RATHER and repeat the per-
Torrance, keeping up the work until
the liver was well soaked with snake
poison. Then the pole was carried
home and fastened somewhere in an
upright position until the liver be-
came as dry as a bone. The liver was
then pounded to a fine powder and
placed in a buckskin bag, to be used
as needed for. their arrows. This
powder would stick like glue to any
moistened surface and was death to
any creature which it entered on ar
rows.-Dundee Advertiser.

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMPERANCE.
Who Are AIcohol's Defenders?

The discussion as to whether al
cohol is ever a food is equally idle
and evasive of the main issue, de-
clares DR.. Frederick Peterson, of New
York. 1t is not a food like bread
and butter, for it has venom in it..
AS Professor Abels, of Johns Hopkins
University, says: 1T Is an easily OK
idizable drug with numerous unto
ward effects, which inevitably appear
when a certain minimum dose IS ex-
ceeded."
I have emphasized the word drug
because it Is as a drug that alcohol is
now regarded by most physicians. 1t
Is placed among the narcotics and an
aesthetics.
I should like here to present a very
brief summary of what scientific in
vestigators have recently determined
to be the action of this drug:
It is no longer considered to be a
stimulant, but rather a depressant.
It perverts digestion.
It d%epresses and weakens the heart
action.
1t decreases the capacity to do
muscular work.
1t diminishes the Intellectual func-
tions by dulling the creative faculty,
impairirg judgment, vitiating the
correctness of perceptions and by
generating timidity. !
II brings about slow, far reaching
anatomical changes, such as fatty de-
generation Of the heart, kidney dis
ease, diseases Of the blood vessels,
changes in the muscular tissue and
in the cells and fbres of the nervous
system.
Its habitual use lessons the normal
defences of the organism against in
fictitious diseases, especially tubercu-
losis.
If you find here and there some dis
senting voice, that of some university
professor perhaps, you may be sure
that is it not that Of a person with
medical experience or any one famil-
lar with the material which all may
read but rather the voice Of some
Dne perversely interested. You might
we'll question whether such a n Ia
simply seeking sensational e%xploita-
ton of himself or whether he might
not even be subsidized by the vast
commercial interests at stake, for you
must remember that the annual con.
sumption Of alcoholic drinks in the
United States is over a billion gal.
Ions.
1 believe that human evolution has
now reached the stage when the abo-
lition Of the use of alcohol as a bev-
erage Is expected and required. Alb
stinence is one of the principles Of
human eugenics, that new science
that is just being born.
There is no one here present who
would feed alcohol to his dogs,
horses, sheep or cattle. These pos
sessions are too precious for that.
He is too interested in improving
their breed. He would recall Pro-
lessor Hodges experiment with al
soholized dogs, in which among twen-
ty-three pups born in four. filters to
one pair of alcoholized dogs nine
we're born dead, eight were deformed
and only four apparently normal.
Our best method of e~radicating the
alcoholic evil is that of a campaign
Of education. Every man, woman
and child should be made familiar in
one way or another with what Is
known by the medical profession OF
he ravages Of alcohol.

A HYMN.

Thy love, dear Lord, I crave;
Thy blood my soul must save,
My sins remove.
o, wash them all away,
And let the light of day
Thy kindness prove.
In sorrows darkest night,
When round faiths beacon light
Thick clouds increase,
Keep me from sinful fear;
Then in Thy love appear,
And bring me peace.
Thy love is all I ask;
With it will every task
A pleasure be.
Ny love, my life I give
10 Thee, who now dost live,
But died for me.
Transcendent love was Thine,
To give Thy life for mine,
And die for all.
This love, dear Lord, I crave;
This love my soul must save;
I'hear Thy call. "f
Come unto Me, We blest;
Come, and your souls shall rest;
In Me abide.
Then shall your cry be stilled:
Be satisfied"

A Wife's Temper.

In a church I was ->rking in, in
Manchester, 7 f~requent.J received re-
quests for prayer for the conversion
Of husband, children, and friends
from one woman. She was a Chris
tian, but she had one besetting sin,
which handicapped her. She used
to bring request after request,
please pray for my husband" :
Well, we got him along, and when
we got him nearly in, that woman
would. upset the whole thing. What
do you think It was? It was her tenn
per; and when she did let 'go-whew!
everybody in the house knew; and
her husband used to say, well, Mary,
II that is religion, I don't want it."
She knew she was wrong, and she
was sorry afterwards, and would ask
his forgiveness. He did forgive her,
but, all the same, it hindered him.
One day I made up my mind that
when she brought another request I
would talk with her and be very hon
est with her. She did come, and I
told her that the fault was hers, and
that she must overcome her temper
that the Lord could give her grace
to enable her to curb her temper.
She took the matter to the Lord and
committed 1t to Him, and He gave
her the victory.
The time for spring cleaning came
around, and she trusted the Lord.
She had just got a new lamp hung
up in the hall and a new carpet; and
John came home carrying something
on his shoulder. He did not know
anything about the lamp-that was
to be a surprise-and he came in,
swinging round, and down came the
lamp, and there vas a Gathering and
a row, and a breaking up Of things;
and he waited for another row-he
expected it in the natural order OF
things. He waited, and presently a
quiet woman looked over the stairs
and down at him, and said gently:
Never. mind, husband! 1t is all
right; we can get another lamp"
And he looked up and said:
MARY, what's the matter?"
"Oh, my DEAR" she said, II have
trusted Jesus to cure me Of my tenn
per-"
WELL" said John, eff He has
cured you, come right down and pray
for me, for that's what I want. If
there's enough In religion to cure
your temper, I want the same relig-
ion." ...

The Christian Name.

Some excellent people shun the
word christianity" 1t suggests to
them limitation, narrowness, bond
age, obsolete doctrines, efete organi-
cation, clerical despotism, or merely
one sect among the sects of the
crowded religious world. Yes, the
word may well bear these poor mean
ings; alas, it often does; But it
bears and deserves a far nobler mean
ing. If we interpret 1t in the light
of what is best in experience in the
New Testament and in history, it is
a term of spiritual enlargement and
emancipation, a symbol of progress,
a power working toward human COM
pleteness and perfection. If a man
will truly follow Jesus, he will obey
the inner Voice, he will trust the
soul; he will welcome every new ray
of light: he will let the creative power
or the impulse of evolution have its
way with him: he will live by the
highest law and for the noblest ends;
he will be a freeman in spirit, es-
GAPING from the bondage of his own
lower nature, as well as from all
usurping outward authorities; and he
will accept his proper place and duty
among his fellows. Can there be any
doubt that a man who thus moves
freely along the ways Of light and
love belongs in the company OF Jesus!
Yet the name is not what we contend
for: use it or refuse 1t. as you hon.
estly may or must. When we begin
TO make the name a fetter, or to use
It as a bludgeon, or to darken the
daylight with it, we have spoiled the
thing, we go over to the side OF anti
christ.-Charles Gordon Ames.
