FUTURE oF The pRlNKER.

What's to become of the drinker?
The railroads don't want him. From
the humblest job to the highest there
is no place for him. He is not wanted
for any important position either civil
or military; he cannot be elected to
any high office within the gift of the
people; the banks do not want him;
the wholesaler does not want him; the
farmer has no use for him. Who
wants the drinker?
The penftentiary, the insane asylum,
the inebriate asylum, the almshouse
may receive him in due course of time,
but who would aim to fit himself for
such future as these institutions rep
resent? What's to become of the
drinker? 1t is a question to which the
youth of today may we'll give some
serious thought.-Union Signal.

SCIENCE SPEAKS.

Science says that we are surround
ed with myriads and myriads of invis-
ible foes ever on the alert to discov-
er the point of successful attack, and
we are furnished with a garrison of
unseen friends who ordinarily dis
charge the function of police and Of
the department Of health, but who in
the event of an invasion mobilize with
extraordinary celebrity and precision.
A struggle ensues and the victory
goes to the stronger. Within the ken
of science there is nothing which de-
stroys the physical defenses as alco-
hol destroys them, just as there is
nothing which brings to the ground
the defenses of the spirit as drinking
does, and as there is nothing to equal
alcohol as a producer of crime.-Rev,
DR.. Mcmillan, speaking before the
assembly of the Presbyterian church
of Ireland.

RELIGION NOT POLITICS.

Ohio liquor men are protesting
against anti-liquor petitions being
signed in the churches, claiming that
it is political action. The pastor Of a
Toledo Congregational church-Rev.
Ernest Allen-thus replies to this
claim:
"Any petition against an institution
which induces poverty, crime and sor-
row is in place in a Christian church.
The church would not deserve its
name, nor be true to its leader, nor
hold the respect Of men, If 1t did not
fight the saloon because of the woe it
creates. There are no party lines in
the church when it comes to an esti-
mate of the damage done to life and
society by the saloon"

DISEASE AND POVERTY.


Doctor Salesby Of London in an arti-
Gle contributed to the Pail Mall Ca
zette Zone of series entitled THE
House of Life") says:
IF we are to successfully attack
that most unpopular fungus, the tu-
berculosis bacillus, we shall have to
impugn the popularity of it's trusty
cousin, the yeast mold Alcohol makes
the bed for tuberculosis, and it is Just
this making of the bed we should seek
to stop"
The following paragraph on the eco
nomic side of the liquor question from
the same article applies equally well
to America. In reading it, substitute
America" for England" and Brit
ain"
"Over vast areas of our land, where
now we might be growing wheat, later
to turn into brains and eyes and
hands for England, we are growing
nothing but whisky. Now, spirits are
admirable for the preservation of por-
tions of corpses, but for the preserva-
ton of limbs and members of living
England, wheat is to be preferred.
When our children learn in what the
wealth of the nation consists, they
will grow no whisky within these
shores, but in its place bread, for
bone and brains and beauty and
bravery and Britain"

Perpetual Motion,

Alderman Curran of New York city
worked his way through Yale college.
During his course, he was kept very
busy by the various jobs he did to help
with his expenses. On graduation, he
went to New York, and was even
buster than he had been in New Haven,
After some months of life in New
York, a friend met him, and said:

Defends American Boys.

Mrs. Joseph Gazzam of Philadelphia
says that when she was in Berlin and
Dresden she heard much criticism OF
the way in which Americans coddle
their boys, and the Germans declared
that if ever the Americans expected to
do any fighting they must change their
methods of training boys. Mrs. Gaz-
Fam replied that much as American
boys are "coddled," no one ever heard
of an American girl cleaning her
brothers boots. Our men may be
spoiled, she said, but not at the ex-
pense of the girls.-Woman's National

"A Good, Swell Name"

During an engagement played by
William Collier in Atlanta, the player
one day was shaved by a loquacious
darby who asked the comedian to sug-
gest a good, swell name" for his
shop. At that very moment the razor
slipped and the suds were succeeded
by alum.
Mr.. Collier made no complaint, but
when he escaped from the chair he
wrote, in compliance with the BARRIERS
request, a couple of words on a piece
of paper. The barber was delighted
by the suggestion, which he declared
he would forthwith adopt.
The words were "Tonsorial Abat-
toir."

The Martins were on a trip covering
period of three or four weeks. They
left at home Master Edward Martin,
aged eight years, to whom his father
wrote nearly every day. In each let

Five or six Of these dimes had been

Before the days Of prohibition,
Maine began to cut off her forests and
sell them for rum and there was but
little money in the savings banks.
Now she has more money in her saw

She sends her children to school in
larger numbers than states which sell
liquor. Her debt is about $22 per
capita, while that of Massachusetts is
about $72 per capita.

Respect for Trees,

II is said that the German invaders
of Belgium, whatever else they may
have destroyed, have been careful not
to injure park trees. The cavalrymen,
so a report goes, are forbidden to tie
their horses to trees for fear that
the animals will gnaw the bark. Ger

crown forests having been under scien-
tifc management for over a hundred
