TNTENIPERANCE.
sy WILLIAM H. gATDEs.

INTFNPERANCE.
A good many unwise and untrue
things have been said both for and
against the liquor traffic; neverthe-
less, the argument for temperance
remains sound. But there is a shift
of reasons from the individual to
society; for society has some claims
which all men should respect.
Wholly waving any individual argu-
ments against intemperance that
may be advanced, no matter how
valid they may appear, let us glance
at some of the social arguments.
While it may be true that some
men are not physically harmed by
Indulgence in alcoholic beverages, 1t
must be conceded that some, not TO
say many, are. This physical INJURY
may incapaCitate a man for daily
work, for a longer or shorter pc
Rod, which not intrequently re
duces The family dependent upon him
to poverty and want. Sooner or
later he may himself become a
charge upon the public, while tnstl-
tutions have to be furnished 10 care
for his children and societies organ
lied to provide for his wife.
There are countless instances
where a man while under the indu-
ence of liquor he has imbibed COM
mits a crime, all unknOwingly 1t
the time of commission. Such crimes
range all the way from petit larceny
to murder. All of them require that
courts, prisons and the other ma
chinery of the law be maintained,
all at the public expense, which IS
by no means small.
Now if all this expense could be
avoided by a discouraging Of the
habit, not to say its total prohibi-
ton. why does the public continue
to put up with it? True, a certain
amount Of revenue is derived from
the traffic; but it has been shown
again and again that the money thus
received is as a drop in the bucket
alongside of the expense to which
the public is put, directly and indt-
rectly.
To say that this is all counter
balanced by the large nOmber Of
men and women who gain their liv-
ing from the traffic, is an argument
that the end justifes the means.
The Apostle Paul stated that
where sin ~abounded, grace did
abound more exceedingly but held
that that furnished no reason why
we should continue in sin. Today
the social argument for temperance
is perfectly sound, and carries far
more weight than that which APP
plies alone to the individual.

Old ls.ther Bottles.

Leather bottles. or blackjacks, were
common in Europe two centuries ago.
The bottles were often made OF one
skin doubled up and closely stitched
together, leaving an aperture for the
neck. The thick piece between was
inserted for the slip. 1t was meant to
be slung at the back. leather thong
passed through two loops placed on
either side of the neck, and 1t was suf-
ficiently fat at the base to stand when
put down. The stopper was made Of
wood, horn or old leather. A good
deal of care was required In the prep
aration Of the leather, which had to be
oiled and worked with hammers to
make 1t supple and then washed with
a I've so that all the impurity was en-
tirely removed, leaving the leather
clean and dry. No moisture or air had
any effect on it. Blackjacks We're, in
fact, iagons made in various sizes.
They were sometimes pitched inside.
