TEMPERANCE COLUMN. Three thonaand women were last year turned away from the industrial farm home for women Inebriates, founded by the British Woman's Temperance asso- ciation, of whioh Lady Henry Somerset is president. The substantial city of Hickman, Ky., "went dry” by a majority of 183 votes. The prohibition people worked hard all day, rang church balls and sang religions songs. A prayer.meeting was held in all the churches during the day. The chief causes of lunacy are two in number—heredity and drink. Some men and women are born to madness, others drink themselves into it. If we could eliminate these two causes, the population of the mad world would soon diminish. Referring to the new law prohibiting the sale of liquor to natives in the Transvaal, the South African Financial) Record states that out of the 24,01e . natives employed by the 44 mining Dom• p80208, 12.3 per cent. of them were con- stantly drunk. With this fact belaro them, the Record says that "arguing from the standpoint of pure expediency, it would have been advantageous to this (mining) industry to have paid the goy I ernmeut a sum equivalent to the entire I revenue derived from the canteen iiceosea for the privilege of closing them." The new archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Temple, is a total abstainer. and his influence will no doubt be felt for total abstinence in the Episcopal church. Bishop Potter says : "We will rejoice that at the head of the English church is a man, who for the salla of his brother, is willing to stand as a total abstainer. There are many others. Dr. Lightfoot was one. When asked why he never used any stimnlaut he would simply say, "I can do my work better without it," It is all n qac tion of conviction. 11 sure abstaining anyman can bring that by a a siva ti n andeducationn the Anwar of c alt t o a to bear upon a people who lire suffering from indalenee in strong drink, it is simply a ease of noblesse abiie thus to translate the gospel to the world. It is the same principle that lies at the heels of arbitration, the principle of human brotherhood, whioh finds its inspiration in tha life of Jesus Christ." .t 2r.ESENT PAY FARM/41. "Ones on a time" a company of men owned a Large number of mad dogs, which were kept for pleasure and profit. Ever and anon some person would be bitten by them, and the victim would die in awful atony from hydrophobia ; but for long term of years this was regard- ed as a very respectable way of dying, and so of amuse the respectability of the business of keeping such doge was never questioned. By and by sone lceen•witted (1) poli- tiottl economists discovered that by Som. pelting the dog -owners to pay a license, they could ratite a revenue for building sidewalks, and thus evade the disagree- able task of paying taxes. To this the dog owners put in au earnest protest in the form of a syllogism, that "keeping mad dogs is either right or wrong. If it is wrong, then we ought not to be oom. pelted to pay a license, for this would make the icorporations parties in the wrong. If t is right, then we should not be compelled to pay for a lioeuae any mere than a merchant should be cone, pelted to nay for a license for selling sugar anti calico," But the political I economists (?) carried their point and the sidewalks went down, and were fastened to the nmcl•sills with spikes made from hydrophobia agony, A new era at length dawned and a new set of political economists came on the stage who insisted lila to license mad dogs wets jest as wicked in the sight of God as to license murder, arson and theft ; that God's plea would be to kill the doge at once and stop lbs stream of lipdrophobic death ; and they even in. sistecl that this would be by far the cheaper plan, for the money paid for supporting hydrophobic patients in poor. 1100004 and hospitals, of trying them for crimen committed while in hydrophobic rage or lunacy, would build all the side. wallas, alta( leave a lathe surplus in the Banda of corpnratione for beuevo(ent uses, These reformer+ so frightened the dog owners tint th, y turned square about and said they were more than willing to pay for a 110808e, and they even asked for high license, if, in return for paying for it, the legislatures would enact laws to ;meted them in their boelneee, This was at once done, tend from Chet time en State and Nation went into partnership with dog•owners in the very respect. able (0) business of disseminating hydro. phobia.

Then the politicol parties which had all along befriended and abetted the dog• owners whirled about and exclaimed, "Ilaveu't we scored a great victory I" Those who are read np on the liquor question eau cipher out the import of this parable.

Viscount Forth, or George Drummond, s4 he woe known, died in New York in 1417, poverty stricken and a victim cf drink. Fifteen years before he had elop- ed from .England with a servant, whom he married. At that time he was living at Whitfield, Kent, '.vithLady Copal!, his grandmother.

But before his removal could be effected, Lord George and the young woman FLED TO AMERICA M11111 were married.

At Drnlnmond's request Mr. Ullman wrote to the Earl of Perth, asking for a email monthly allowance for Drummond. Mouths elapsed without a reply being re- ceived, but eventaa.11y Mr. Ullman was informed that if the `Viscount would leave his wile one of his relativeswoold present him a plantation in Florida. Drummond refused the offer. lir. Ullman succeeded in obtaining a place a4 shipping clerk for the young man in a largo clothing house.
