THEY UNJUST" ABSTAIN.

An article in a late educational
journal says that those who find the
use of intoxicants means for them
their abuse, should practice total alb
stinence. SHOULD" is too weak; they
must" abstain. The abuse of intoxi-
cants is a sin, and sin must be avoid
ed. But that is not the point | wish
to make. How are they to find out
whether the use means for them the
abuse? BY experience. Seek and you
shall find. Seeking a gas leak with
lighted match is not to be recon-
mended, but not less so than seeking
by experience whether one can use
intoxicants without abusing them.
Then, too, what constitutes abuse?
Is man drunk only when he cannot
lie on a ten-acre field, or asks the
gate to be closed so he don't catch
cold? What is more common than to
hear: Don't worry about me; I'm in
no danger. | can take a drink or
leave it alone? A man is not compe-
tent to judge his own case, particu-
larly when it is one of drinking too
much or not. The professors test for
agarici comes to mind: Eat them; IL
you survive they were mushrooms;
if they kill you, they were toadstools.
But the old Irish pastors reply to the
girl who, thinking about taking les
sons in dancing, came to ask whether
it was sin to dance, was more to
the purpose: my child, If you do not
learn to dance, you will not commit
sin by dancing" When one has used
drink to such an extent that its use
means for him its abuse, he is usually
SO deteriorated as not to recognize
the abuse or so hopelessly enslaved as
to be unable or unwilling to give it
up. AS it is almost universally admit
ted that intoxicating beverages are
wholly unnecessary and their use ex-
tremely dangerous, the proper course
is to leave them entirely alone, and
dissuade others from their use.

The anti-clerical forces went
down to defeat in the recent Ital-
ian elections, both communal and
provincial. The only exception
was in Milan where the social
lists gained a victory. Prince
Colonna and his Catholic follow
ers headed the polls and utterly
routed ex-Mayor Nathan's CO.
horts. Nathan himself was re
elected to the Municipal Council,
but his followers number not more
than twenty out Of the eighty
members Of that body. 1t would
seem as if the real Romans had
at length awakened to the respon-
sibilities of their position and in
sured the emancipation of their
civic affairs from the control OF
an element which has shown it
self hostile to the best interest OF
Rome, as well as of the Holy See

Here is a picture Of religion in
Belfast. 1t is not the comment
Of a Catholic writer, but Of Har-
old Begbie, who is decidedly nom
Catholic: "My charge is that
the religion of Belfast as a whole
is not the religion founded by
Christ. The ministers of religion
spend their time in denouncing
Roman Catholics and in boasting
of their city's prosperity. There
is excessive religion in Belfast,
but l declare that it bears little
resemblance to that of Christ.
The religion is hard, repellant
and pharisaical. 1t breeds bigOtry
self-esteem and a violent intoler-
ance."

SCIENCE AND RELIGION
WHAT NOTED SCIENTISTS SAY
ABOUT GOD AND RELIGION.

Professor Lancaster: 1t is not true
that there is an essential antagonism
between the scientific spirit and what
is called the religious sentiment. Men
of science seek in all reverence to dis
cover the Almighty. They claim SYM
pathy and friendship with those who
like themselves have turned away from
the most material struggle of human
life and have set their hearts and
minds on the knowledge of the Eter-
nal. (Speech, August, 1906.

THE WoRKINeMAN AND DRINK.

The workmen who spend the least
on drink have the best homes, are
most regularly employed, and are bet
ter prepared to resist encroachments
on their wages. Drink prevents you
from walking quickly, boldly, and firm
ly, the narrow path that individuals,
classes and nations must tread il they
wish to reach the goal of personal
health, social happiness, communal
and national greatness.

Wastefulness.

The average wheat production per
acre in Minnesota is about thirteen
bushels. In Denmark it is 80; in Hol-
land, "a; In England, 80 bushels. Pol
iticians talk of the conservation Of ma
tional resources. What of the con-
servation of soil values, the greatest
asset the nation has? And what Of
the wastefulness which extracts from
the soil but one-third of the riches It
is capable of bearing? The prodigal-
ity of congress, the wanton careless
ness of cities, the improvidence of our
spendthrifts are of minimum impor

turned back to get the forgotten foot

ACCOUNTS FOR OLD LEGEND
Simple Explanation Of the Aee-oid
Myth That Surrounds the
Golden Fleece.

In the legend OF the Golden Fleece
lies hidden the record Of an ancient
method of the Tibarenl. the sons OF
Tubal, for the collection of gold. The
north coast Of Asia Minor produced
large quantities OF the precious metals.
as we'll as copper and iron. Gold was
found In the gravel. as often happens
still in streams draining from copper
regions. The gold In copper ores.
originally containing Insignificant
amounts Of the precious metal. ac-
cumulates in the course of ages, and
sometimes forms placers OF astonish-
ing richness.
The ancient Tibareni washed tho
gold-bearing gravel. first by booming,
which concentrated the gold into rela-
lively small amounts OF sand. This
was then collected and washed through
sluices having the bottoms lined with
sheepskins. The gold would sink into
the wool. while the sand would be
washed away in the swift current.
The skins were removed from the
sluices, the coarsest gold shaken out,
and the fieeces, still glittering with
the yellow metal, were hung upon
boughs to dry SO that the rest Of the
gold might be beaten from them, and
saved. The early Greek mariners. wit
Messing this process, carried home
tales of the wonderful riches Of land
where q warlike race Of miners huns
golden feeces upon the trees In the
grove Of Ares.
After so many millenniums the
metalliferous country OF Tubal-Cain
Is once more coming into prominence.
The natives still Gull the high-srade
copper ore, and break It into smalls,
which they cover with wood and roast
to matte; they still work the matte In
forge-like furnaces to black copper,
which they ship to Alexandretta and
to Euxine ports. They still make the
famous carbonized iron that was cele-
brated as Damascus steel because It
was distributed through this mart to
the rest Of the world after receiving .
finish by local Damascene workmen.
These decadent methods. that give
o hint of the approved practice Of the
father of metallurgy. will soon become
wholly extinct, for the modern miner
is studying the disseminated copper
ores of the Black sea coast, and
threatening to rekindle on q magnifi-
cent scale the smoldering fires OF

FIND. CATTLE DISEASE
NEAR WATERFORD, VA.
Loudoun County, in Which the
Infection Appears, Put Under
Quarantine by Department.

The foot and mouth disease was to-
ford, Va, and the Department of Ag-
riculture took immediate steps to
quarantine two farms in that vicinity
Because of the discovery of the dis
ease. seventeen steers. and two dairy
cows will be killed today The de-
partment also ordered a quarantine
upon Loudoun county, in which the
ferns are located.
Eight of seventeen steers recently
brought from Hagerstown, Nd. to
Waterford have the disease. The sew
enteen head of cattle were brought
from the Maryland town before the
establishment of the quarantine there
and were placed on two adjoining
farms. Although only eight steers
been decided to kill all the animals
on the two farms.
Waterford is fifteen miles from
Leesburg. which is cattle shipping
point, and, following a more detailed
investigation. the radius of the quar-
antine may be broadened.
When the Department of Agricul-
ture ascertained the presence of the
troublesome disease at Waterford, the
District Health Department was no.
titled. so that it might take steps to
protect the milk supply. 1t was learn
ed, however, that the District does
not receive milk from Waterford, and
IT was further ascertained that the
infected animals are all steers Should
the disease spread from the infected
farm, both the Federal and District
governments will be on the alert to
protect the consuming public.

Newsboys To Be Guests
At the Strand Tomorrow

While the thanking is particularly
good, some four or five hundred news
BOYS who sell The Times in Washlng-
ton are working lot or thanks out OF
their systems today, and will keep 1t up
several days to come. This ls not only
because they are selling The Times
which is by way OF being one OF the
easiest things IN the world to do-but
because there is such person as Tom
Moore in Washington, and, being rom
Moore, that he happens to own a thea
ter called the Strand. where Marguerite
Clark is appearing in motion pictures
in wild Flower with a whole cast OF
Famous Player actors and actresses TO
help her They're thanking The Times
for introducing them to Tom Moore.
and they're particularly thankful 10
Tom because he has invited them to be
his guests at the Strand tomorrow
night.
With things to give thanks for COM
ing in punches like that. it would
strain the thanking capacity OF almost
any ordinary person to finish the job
up properly. There is no doubt that
the newsboys will do ii, though-the
newsooys who sell The Times, that Is.
They're a particularly industrious lot OF
youngsters-the business they're in cre-
ates a habit of industry. And the con-
sequence is that they're putting their
whole SOULS into the job. They will be
supplied with tickets by The Times and
will be under the charge of one OF The
Times representatives at the show. The
boys may be expected to whoop things
up for Marguerite Clark. because she
is one Of the kind of actresses and she
has one of the kind OF shows that just
naturally call for the kinds OF whoops
the newsboys know how to give.
