One Man's Experience of an
Electric Shock.
AlbertMayse,of Montmorency cotton mills,
Que., tells of a remarkable experience he re-
cently had with a live electric wire. He
was called one evening from the machine
shop to the mill to look after some maehin-
ery which was out of order. He -took a
couple of men with hint. "After I had been
working a short time," he said, "it grew
dark and I had te start the electric . arc
light. The light was nine feet from the
floor, and I stood on an iron machine to reach
it. Before I touched it I asked one of the
men if the motor power had been turned off.
He replied that it had. 1 then reached out
my hand to catch bold of one of the con-
ducting wires to steady myself. The
weather at the time was very wet.
As soon as I touched the wire with my right
hand I felt myself &elate up with remark-
able rapidity. Blue osmes shot from my
eyes. It was intensely blue, yet brilliant.
I felt A sensation such as I never experi-
enced before. As far ills I could realize the
feeling was pleesureble. I felt that my
time had come, and I lost consciousness. I
afterwards learned Veit this eXpeidence had
not taken more than two seconds. Those
who stw the accident eaid thet as seen as
my hand touched the *ire I wen dragged up
like a flash, dashed bodily against theceil-
ing, four feet above the wire, and then
thrown to the floor, where I lay for over an
hour unceneciens. At the time I got the
shoek the power was running through, the
wire at the rate of 1,100 yolts. • The motor
had not been turned off., When I came tie my
senses I was lying at the bottom of al cart
and was being driven home. For ovee ten
minutes I could not remember anything.
The man who was delving was one of the
mill hands but I could not remember who
he was. Ile said he spoke to me ani did
others in the cart, and that I answered
back in a most follitilt way. They tholught
I had lost my reason., I was taken tO my
home in this strange condition, and for aome
time could not recognize my own wife and
family. When 1 fully regained my semites, I
began to suffer for the first time. All , over
my body came tingling, pricking sensations,
which were very agonizing. Sparks Weald
at intervals shoot Irmo my eyes. My ,body
was so sore that I could not bear my cloth-
ing, while my heir ictusIlea seemed to be
electrified and to be eaisecl from my scalp.
I looked in a mirror and did not know
myself, for my face was swollen to twice its
natural size, while the skin kid swollen SO
much on my forehead. that it hung like a bag
overrny eyelids, almost preventing me from
seeing. I was suffering very keenly. One
of the men had gone to get Mr. Strachan, of
the electric light company, to see if he ,
could do anything fbr me. As soon as he
sew me he took off nry boots and socks and
brought me int2 the yard, where he walked
me barefooted over the damp earth. It
was such a comfort as soon as my feet touche
ed the earth. I could feel the electric flail'
running through my body to my feet, and
then into the earth. The cure was a speedy
one, and I soon felt relieved. 1 I was sore for-
days after, though. The accident would
not have teken place had I not been stand-
ing on an iron machine, which made a cir-
cuit through me. They said tit was a miracle,
I had. not been instantly killed."—Electrical

Saw Them in a New Light.
Jane Rogers was a good girl, devout and
positive in her religious beliefs. She had
always lived in a village where nearly every
one belonged to the same denomination, and
she had grown into the beliefthat every one
who was outside of its pale Must be wrong.
It was a subject of regret, elmoet of dis-
tress, to her to know that none of her cous-
ins in New York—who n she had never seen
—belonged to this Church which was so dear
to her. John Roger's familyi were Presbyterians, James Roger's were Methodists,and
her aunt Catharine's 'Children, differed wide-
ly from her on tiesubject of .baptism.
When it was arranged that Jane should go
to New York and spend the winter among
her kinsfolk, she felt as if she were a mis-
sionary venturing among those who were
almost heathen. She read boeks on the
different creeds, and reselved to be unflinch-
ing in her defence of what Bat believed te be
the truth.
The day came,huad she ttorted. There
was a frightful railway accident. Jane,
badly injured, was carried with others of the
woundedeto a hospital in the !city.
Her ftiends hastened thete to meet her.
They would have each of theen taken her to
their homes, but she was to seriously in-
jured to be moved. She saw their pale,
anxious faces, and caught 'oiling glances on
every side. As days passed and she ap-
proached convalescence, these strange faces
became inexpressibly dear to. her.
She learned to call them ter name. The
kind, grove old man was coesin lien, the
two merry girls were his nieces; the* sweet
faced old lady was Aunt Many. They all

When Jane's mother reached the city and
hurried to her, the girl told her with glad
tears of their kindnees.
"They have kept me hopeful. They have
kept me near to God," etre s id.
Her mother was bewildered. "Which of
these were the Baptists, and which the
Methodists, and which the Presbyterians ?"
she asked.
Jane was silent for a morrient.
"I do not know," she said in a low voice.
" I did not ask what doctrines they believed
in. But I saw that when they came to the
sick and dying God was in heir hearts."

That is ne reason why the world should not

are Oen in so-called moderation. The tes-
timonies of snob physicians as Dickinson,
Harley, Draper and a host of others who

must be allowed to have full weight. Out-
go all questions of home and of morals, the
phisical harm being done by beer is appal

raise its voice against it. Bins, who is an
advocate for alcohol as an economic factor
in sickness, expresses his profound convict-
ion of the terrible evil it is inflicting on the
health of the nation. There is no one
common error of diet that is so pronounced
In its results. Out from amid other indul-
gences it can be singled by the symptoms in
diseases and by organic changes. The dead

of a shortened or embarrassed life which
may never be told by a single lapse 'cite in-
toxication or by what has been recognized
as an excess. It is true that there are laws
of adjustment, and that a certain degree of
toleration is established in many cases. But
it is also true that this process often gives
internal without external marks. A jury of
medical men to -day cannot be found who
will not say that the healthy man is better
off without alcohol than with it. If so, this
at once puts it in the category of medi-
cines. As such it should be the subject
for prescription under the most rigid re-
strictions.
The medical profession is now called upon
to put itself definitely on the side of re-

Professor W. R. Davis has initiated a move-
ment for a national medical temperance or-
gazination which, among other things will,
from a professional as well ss an ethical
standpoint, urge the physieiaos to be more
circumspect and technical in advising the
use of fermented or distilled:liquors as medi-
cines, and more pronounced in the utter-
ances in disapproval of beer drenching(' and
other forms of popular drinking. If only

"In Debt".
A man who attempted to raise some
money on a subscription paper for a neces•
sary church out 'West, relates his experience
thus
"The first man I went to said he was
very sorry, but the fact was he was so in-
volved in his business that he couldn't give
anything. Very sorry, but a man in debt as
he was owed his first duty to his creditors.
"He was smoking an expensive cigar, and
before I left his store he bought of a peddler
who came in, a pair of expeneive Rocky
Mountain cuff -buttons.
"The next man I went to was a young
clerk in a banking establishment. He read
the paper over, acknowledged that the
Church was needed, but raid that he was
owing for his board, was badly in debt, and
did not rote how he could give anything.
"That afternecn, as I went by the base-
ball grounds, I saw this young man pay
fifty cents at the entrance to go in, and saw
him mount the grand stso,d where special
seats were sold for a quarter of a dollar.
"The third man to whom I presented the
paper was a farmer living near the town.
fie also was sorry, but times were hard,
his crops bad been a partial failure, the
Mortgage on his farm was a heavy load, the
interest was coming due, and he really
could not see his way clear to give to the
Church, although itrwas just what the new
town needed.
"A week from that time I saw that same
farmer drive into town with his entire fam-
ily, and go to the circus, afternoon and
night, titan expense of at least four dollars."

Confession of a Glove Dealer.
'-There, you see, is a table on which are
some periodicals," mid a glove dealer.
"That is for gentlemen who come in here
with ladies to buy gloves. Before I put
that table in, the gentlemen came to the
counter with the lady, and the lady ordered
her gloves. The next day they came back
with the information that they were too
small. I soon found that women do not like
to tell their escorts the size of glove they
wear. So I put id this table, and have the
latest periodicals on hand. When the lady
, comes in with her escort I manage to
get the escort over to this table,
where he becomes interested. She makes
her purchase, and the gloves do not come
back. A trick of the trade, and a small
one, I grant you. The v. orld doesn't know
how much trickery there is in trade."

The best cure we know of for constipation and
headache is the pleasant herb drink called Lane's
