It is possible to tell almost exactly
when the more elegant 'perspire"
drove out the vulgar Sweat" Accord
ing to a writer in the Gentleman's
Magazine in 1871, "for some time past
neither man, woman nor child In
Great Britain and Ireland, of any rank
or fashion, has been subject to the
gross form of emulation which was
formerly known as sweat Now ev-
cry mortal, except carriers, coal hea-
yers and charmen, merely 'perspire.'
For these 20 years past the word
sweat has been gradually becoming
more and more odious." Before ITO
or SO Precipitation" commonly meant
an insensible process, sweating" the
grosser variety thereof. In one of his
sermons Wesley remarked that dur
ing nights sleep healthy man pers-
pires one part in four less when he
sweats than when he does not" That
would be meaningless to-day.

STRONG DRINK.
By B. F. M. sours.

In glass engraven with the most
delicate tracery and beauty is offered
to young man drink of wine. His
not, handle not" He is worried. He
is with new friends. He does not like
to refuse their courteSies, nor to seem
to be an odd one He drinks; he
drinks again; it is done! The teach
ing of his mother has been baffled,
and now he is at the mercy Of every
tempter The simple cutting of the
influence of the mother in the taking
of that first glass is the taking up
anchor for other ports. Mother is not
in other ports. Oh, no! Mother is not
there Mother isn't wanted there.
The DEVILS toboggan is smooth-yes,
1T is oiled. He is started; he doesn't
Is easy to start? Are you aware,
young man, that stopping is not easy?
"Going going going gone!' - that
is the motto. You are not supposed to
stop According to all analogy, or
symmetry, or proportion, or propriety,
according to all common sense, ac-
cording to all human experience, no
young man who takes the first glass
has any rational ground of expectation
ever to stop. 1t isn't natural or nor
NAL to stop. The natural thing for
fellow who has fooled with the cur
rent over Niagara is to go over the
falls. Over the falls! Oh, alas! Over

clean man. He marries. The little
arms are clinging around his neck.
What puny little arms! What nervous
sickly children! Poor little weaklings!
They came into this world inheritOrs
of a reformed mans wreck. Young
man, do you know that 81 IL per cent.
of all children born into the homes of
inebriates, if they live at all, live only
to become diseased, or hereditary
drunkards, or natural criminals, or
epileptic, or feebleminded, or insane?
Isn't the price of drink little high?
But the chances are that your children
will not even be the children of re-
formed inebriate. The risk is fearful.
Is your will-power stronger than that
of Patrick Henry? He cried to the
colonies, regarding the intrusion of
English tyranny, GAS for me, give me
liberty or give me DEATH" and then,
we are told, he went to the grave a
slave to strong drink! II you look
over the annals of this country, you
will see that the victims of the drink
doom are among the great and among
the small, and are absolutely without
reference to their power of will. When
once the drink disease has gotten hold
of the gray centers of the brain, drink
has become the adopted normal habit,
and will tyrannize the will or destroy
1t. The will is then on the side OF
drink There is no earthly power of
heart or of science that can resist the
craving for drink after it has passed
q given point The victim is doomed.
There is one escape. Scientifically
there is none other known. That is,
q sound conversion. In that case, II
tobacco is given up, so as not to fire
the physical organism with the con-
slant temptation for the stronger
stimulant, there is hope. AS rule,
all reformed drunkards who hold on
to their tobacco are said to relapse
The only hope for a man, be he VIC
tim or not, is to cling close to the
hand reached down from the skies,
and Keep myself pure"

White Monkey in Frankfort.

A French journal has discovered a
wonderful white monkey in the Frank
fort geological gardens. 1t is said to
be most rare, but if we remember
Alright there are two specimens in the
gardens in Regents park The mon
key answers to the name of Blanca.
It was in 1903 that Menelek heard of
it and it was caught after many weeks
of trouble in the forests of southern
Abyssinia. Menelek gave the monkey
to M ne. Hentze, wife of his chief en-
gineer, and the ''albino" finally came
to Europe. But having become very
troublesome the lady decided TO give
Blanca to the gardens, after having
declined an offer of purchase OF 2400.

Moroccan Red Tape.

Official correspondence in Morocco
is couched in very flowery and fam
boyant style. 1t is interspersed with
a variety of meaningless adulatory
phrases that tend to confound the real
meaning of the epistle. For example.
an order to the minister of finance to
contract a loan begins thus:
I'm our present letter God increase
his power and make the glorious sun
and his moon glitter in the armament
of his felicity, we have authorized
our incorruptible servant (hers fol-
lows name), to contract in the anne
and behoof of the treasury (hsaven
fllI it), a loan of -" etc.
Considering that the "incorruptible
servant" is f1lching as much as he pos
sibly can from the treasury it is GER
tainly necessary to pray that "heav-
en- fill it."

Contains Chamber Where Meal 10
Regularly Provided.
One OF the most curious tombs in
the United Kingdom is in County Wex-
ford. In it is laid the body Of one
of that curious body--the resurrection
lists. One portion of the tomb ID .
furnished chamber, with table and
a few chairs. On the table will be
found at any time dainty meal Of
considerable dimensions, with a fowl,
a ham, leg of mutton and the neces-
saIy drinkables. The departed resur-
rectionist provides by his will that
this meal shall be laid each fortnight,
and IF the meal is untouched in the
meantime, it shall be given to the
poor and fresh meal laid" SO far
the meal has been untouched, though
several rumors spread round the dis
trict from time to time that in spirit
form the gentleman has appeared and
has enjoyed his meal. Curious stories
are told of poor people to whom the
ham or the leg of mutton has been
given being awakened in the night by
strange rappings on their doors and
windows, and even by demands in a
grim voice for portion of the food
which has been distributed. AS con-
sequence and probably for another
sad reason, it has come to be the prac-
tice to consume the food Immediately
it is brought home. 1t is the only way
to counteract the envy of the spirit,
with whom, apparently, hunger is con-
stantly present. Dundee Advertiser.
