Three thonaand women were last year

the British Woman's Temperance asso-

is president.
The substantial city of Hickman, Ky.,

The prohibition people worked hard 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.

Transvaal, the South African Financial)
Record states that out of the 24,01e .
natives employed by the 44 mining Dom•

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

revenue derived from the canteen iiceosea

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

in tha life of Jesus Christ."

which were kept for pleasure and profit.

bitten by them, and the victim would die
in awful atony from hydrophobia ; but

they could ratite a revenue for building

dog owners put in au earnest protest in
the form of a syllogism, that "keeping
mad dogs is either right or wrong. If it

A new era at length dawned and a new

stage who insisted lila to license mad

he married. At that time he was living

Harrison, his grandmother's waiting -
maid, although he was only fifteen years
old, and she some five or six years his
senior. Information of the infatuation
of kis grandson was carried to the Earl,
who resolved upon placing the lad in the
naval academy at Woolwich. But before
his removal could be effected, Lord
George and the young woman

While shooting ou Mr. Losea's groUnde,

At Drnlnmond's request Mr. Ullman

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
