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 News. ' 1 L 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.

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."

The Instincts of Every one has observed ho eat oils and a slight appetizing and pleasure - giving effect from alcohol thus combined which will ever lead to its use, in spite of the general fact that alcohol is injurious. That is ne reason why the world should not know how threatening to health always, and injurious generally, alcoholic liquors are Oen in so-called moderation. The tes- timonies of snob physicians as Dickinson, Harley, Draper and a host of others who Study medicines and foods therapeutically, 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 liog. Even Germany has been compelled to 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 room or the post-mortem tells many a tale 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- straint as never before. We are glad that 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 for the body we plead,theprofession must come to the front in this behalf. The ap peal ogght to be, especially strong, since no class gees more of evil results in the hospi- tals, the infirmaries and the tenements of the poor. Have we not as physicians far more power to let in defence of bodies and so aid those who. are urging the perils to mind, to morale, to homes, and to all that con- cerns social and natural life ?h -N.

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.
