euriug intemperance, whether by

New Orleans Times Democrat :
Ilo virtue is so essential to euecese
as sobriety. The necessity of prae.
tieing it is equally imperative in
every department of life. Whether
a man's lot be high or lowly, he
must avoid excessive indulgence iu
alcoholic stimulents or he is euro to

An American exchange points
out that the consumption of malt
liquors is greatly on the increase in
the United States, In 1840 there
-were consumed in the United States
2,3,000,000 gallons of malt liquors,
or 1.80 gallons per head. In 1887
the amount has increased to 717,-
748,854 gallons, or 11.08 gallons
per head. The exchange does not
.give Lhe amount ofspirituous liquors
'consumed ; but it may be taken for
granted that it is on the decreneo.
With such a per capita rate of bear
,consumption there must neoeeearily
be a decreasing demand for the
.regular old "red eye" of former
.days.
A CHAPTER OF SNAKES.
The "People" publishes the fol-
lowing significant chapter on
snakes :
"Twenty-five snakes running
through streets—that's 'free whir•
key.'
"Twenty-five snakes gathered in
a box, in which twenty-five holes
are made by the authority of the
court—that's 'low license.'
"Ten of the holes aro closed, and
the enakee all get out through the
other fifteen—that's 'high license.'
"Drive all the snakes over to the
next village—that's local option."
"Kill all the snakes—that's pro.
Bibi kion."
Away with the eerpente of the
still !
A PROHIBITION 11IANIFESTO.
Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, the pro
hibition candidate for the Presi-
dency of the United States, has
issued a letter of acceptance in re-
sponse to the nomination. He ex -
.presses the opinion that within a
few years the temperance reform
.leas altogether changed front. In
the great conflict which has been
:and is yet waging, the temperance
forces no longer face the human ap•
petite and habit alone ; they oppose
legislation, law, the purpose of pm
Initial parties, the policy of state
and nation. What law creates,
law alone can kill. The creature
4of law, the saloon, the liquor traffic,
can die only ab the law's hand, or
the hand of the Iaw'e executor. Con-
eeived in avaricious iniquity, born
of sinful legislative wedlock, the
licensed saloon, the legalized liquor
'traffic, bastard child ore civilization
sprofeseing purity and virtue, must
sbe strangled by the civilization
whish begat it, or that civilization
<must. go forever branded with the
scarlet letter of its own shame.
The General holds that no party
which is made public administrator
=by the enemies of temperance, or
which owes the election of its can.
didates •to saloon influences, can
ever establish prohibition as a bind-
ing fact in government anywhere.
The Democratic party, in its
platform, utters no word in con-
demnation of the greatest foe to the
republic—the liquor traffic. That
.party baying steadfastly, in its ut.
-terances at national contentions,
maintained its allegiance to the
American saloon, it was no disap•
pointment to any one that at St.
Louis, in 1887, it reaffirmed its old
position on this, the greatest gees•
tion now being debated among
:men.
He says lie has searched the Re-
publican platform in vain to find a
-condemnation of the saloon, or hint
of a purpose to assail it, or any
sign of mortal consciousness that
-the saloon is a curse, and its in-
come too unboly for a nation to
share. If the "chief concern" has
not a place in the party's platform,
.and a party has no policy tie to that
"chief concern'" that party does not
deserve the eupport of men who love
::good government and world see it
.maintained.
The prohibition party's "chief
,concern' is for a party of the home,
and the virtue and eobriety of the
people. It asserted this in plain
and unmistakeable lerme at Indian-
apolis ; and it further plainly said
that "the burdens of taxation should
be removed from clothing and other
neceseariee of life." It is today
,the only avowed and consistent
party wbieh the home and labor
have, for it would 'make the bless-
ings of home cheap, and remove
altogether ite curses, It would
bring labor to sobriety and lustre
give to the whole industrial system
the impetus and proeperity never
yet known, and never possible till
the salamis are put away•

better and is able to take a walk,
talk polities, and read the Sunday
papers ; he eats a hearty supper,
and about church time be has an
other attack and stays home. He
retires early, sleeps well and wakes
up Mondry morning refreshed and
able to go to work, and does not
have any symptoms of the disease
until the following Sunday.

except on the Sabbath.
8. The symptoms vary but it
never interferes with the Bleep or
appetite.
4. It never lasts more than twon.
ty-four hours,
5. It generally attacks the head
of the family.
0. No physician is ever called in
to attend the patient.
7. Religion is the only antidote
that will cure.
8. It is becoming fearfully prey.
alent, and is sweeping thousands
every year prematurely to destruc-
tion.
Household Hints.
A Balt ham should he soaked over
night in plenty of soft water pre.
vious to boiling.
Use a warm knife in cutting warm
bread and the like.
After washing a wooden bowl,
place it where it will dry equally on
all sides, away from the stove.

water directly from the kettle over
the spots.

a saucepan 9f boiling water,
For ()leaning brass use a thin
paste of plate powder, two table.
spoonfuls vinegar, four tablespoon-
fuls of alcohol. Rub with a piece
of flannel ; polish with chamois.
A paste of whiting and benzine
will remove spots from marble.
Be very partteular about disie
footing the kitchen sink, Washing
soda, two tablespoonfuls to a
gallon of boiling water, makes an
excellent wadi to pour hot into the
sink at night nfter you have finish-
ed using it.
Hive syrup is good for creep or
inflammation of the lungs, It must
be kept in a cool place, for if it
sours it is very poisonous.
A. creaking hinge can be cured
by the use of a black lead pencil of
the softest number, tho point rubbed
into all the ereviees of the binge.

Where writing implements aro
used but seldom, the pens are apt
to be rusty. To prevent this, keep

Religion 1s the deepest study of

In ohildhood be modest, in youth
temperate, in manhood just, in old
age prudent.
Help somebody worse off than

are better off than you fancied.
Do good to thy friend, that he

If you begin by apologizing for

end by defending what cannot be
apologized for.
True glory lakes root, and even
