Cleer Head and Steady Hand Teetotalism will ensure you a clear head and steady hand. Alcohol has an affinity for the brain. On entering the system it rushes upward to the brain, and, according an the amount consumed, breaks down mental equatibrium. In the struggle for supremacy constantly going on around and about us, it is impossible to overestimate or exaggerate the value of teetotaliarn as a means of contributing to this end. All over the country, nay, right through the civilized world, in all branches of industry, scientific research and intellectual attainment, teeto- talers are coming to the front. The affinity of alcohol for the human brain is a phenom- enon fraught with the utmost importance to all, but especially to those gifted with keen, perceptive faculties, or those who are music- ally, intellectually, or philosophically in- clined. Great men, and many of the world's champions, have freely attributed much of their suoCe3s to the abstinence from strong drink. All who desire to make their mark in the world, to succeed in the vocation in which God has placed them, will certainly be well advised to abstain from all intoxi- cating drinks as beverages. -Fred Rodger, Whitby. STRUCK IT RICH. A Toronto Contractor, who Made a Lucky Investment -He Tells About it in a Letter to Hiz Friends. TOROSTo, Out., June 17 -(Special) -Mr. W. J. Keane, of 86 Lippincott street, writes : "I was very sick, and atdtimes could not attend to my work at. all. I had severe pains in my back, in the region of my kidneys. " At last, a friend suggested Dodd's Kid- ney Pills. I had not much faith, but de- cided to try them. " I immediately found relief, and was soon well enough to resume my work, but I kept on using the Pills. " I used altogether seven boxes before I war satisfied that I was completely cured. "Since then I have never been sick a single day, and have not had any return of the symptoms. " It gives me great pleasure to write in praise of Dodd's Didney Pills, and the good they have done me." Did anyone ever invest $3.50 to better ad- vantage? a Better Leave Them Alone. It should occur to reformers that it is idle to attempt to worry smokers into an aban- donment of their habit -.-a waste of energy which might accomplish much, if it should be devoted to some other purpose. Every smoker is willing to concede that tobacco when used to excess is harmful, and that most other smokers carry it to an excess ; but it is an effect of smoking.that deludes the smoker himself, into the belief that his own consumption of the plant is moderate. Although the war on tobacco has raged at regular periods from the day of the intro- duc!ion of the weed in England, there has been a steady increase in the amount that is annually consumed and in the number of those who are enslaved by its nerve -quieting qualities. Of course, there is a pleasure in attacking persons who foster habits which we detest, but in the case of the smoker, the pleasure is impaired by his obvious in- difference to the attack. -Philadelphia Record.

Ruined Through a Glass of Port. At the Eastbourne police court some time ago, a young man was charged with stealing money, the property of the Grand Hotel Company. In defence he said that on De- cember I. he went to bank some money; as usual, and on the way called at an hotel for a glass of port. On coining to pay, how- ever, he found to his surprise that he had no money of his own, and accordinglY he took sixpence to pay for the' wine. This prevented him banking the money that day, as without the sixpence the ardount would not have bten right. The next day he in- tended to bank the moneyobut before he could do so he was questioned by the man- ager, who had received a telegram stating that the money had not'been paid in. And so he was charged wieh stealing the money. That young marl's, love for port has ruined him. He was bound over to come up for judgment when called upon, out that glass of port has placed upoo his character an in- delible stain, -Temperance Record.

There are more superstitions in reference to the marriage ceremony than in reference to any other in common life. They refer to such matters as the clothes to be worn by the bride, to the year, month and the day, of the wedding. In Sweden it is believed that if a girl is fond, of eats she will not be an old maid. We would expect the -op- posite. One of our proverbs says that it is ill -luck for e bride to see her face in the glass by a candle. Another that a wedding feast postponed bodes bad luck. Bees must be told of a wedding, and get some of the cake. The pins used in the dress of the bride at her wedding, must be all thrown away ; if retained by the bridesmaids, they will not marry before -Whitsuntide. A girl must beware of being , three time a bridesmaid, for she will never be a bride. IT'S so pleasant to take that children cry for it but it's death to worms of all kinds, DR.

A man could not become drunk without drink.

If they did not set the traps there would be no prey, and the magistrates would 1- ave nothing to do. The contempti- ble and ludicrous farce went on from year to year. GAINED 91 LBS.

VIVID AND'GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF "THE PACE THAT KILLS." John W. Keller, President of the Depart- ment of Charities and Correction, New 'York City, As a Specialist Tells How "The Wages of Sin Is Death -Germ of Degeneracy. The weaknesses of human nature are confined to no class of men. Wealth is not necessary for the Pace that kills and poverty is no bar to it, Knowledge is not a preventive and ignorance is only an accelera- tion. Health sometimes prompts it and disease is . often its excuse. Gen- tle birth and careful training only stimulate it in some instances, while common origin and coarse breeding are accepted by it. as a welcome var- iation, In the parlance of the race track ---tit "plays no favorites." The race is open to all dbmers, and no question is raised as to pedigree, age or previous performance. The nomi- nator can make his own regulations. He can go the long course or the short course, over the flat or the hurdles, as he chooses. The only con- dition- imposed is that he shall keep at it, and in the end the prize shall be his. For to everyone that goes the pace that kills and keeps at it there is a, prize -the prize of shame, disgrace, 'demoralization, death. There is no need -of preaching about it, For centuries goad men have inveighed against it from the pulpit and the rostrum. Learned scientists have written endless books against it.. Saintly women have ut- tered their most devout prayers against it. And yet it goes on and will,go on. There is a germ of degeneracy in mankind' that 'de- velops 'under all 'conditions, and for which no remedy, can be found. Its development is sometimes fast. But unless a check is put on it in its early stages the end is always the same -the madhouse or the morgue. The department of public charities of the City of New York is the dump- ing ground of the refuse humanity of the second greatest city in the world. Here are deposited those- creatures whom no other agency will care for. The sick, .the pauper, . the inebriate,i the idiot, the epileptic, the paraly- tic, the. insane. Nuiadreds . of these come every day. The gate of the public charities is always open, and no one is refused. Each day, too, is gathered the city's dead. From the river, from secluded corners of the parks, from. little rooms in obscure hotels and from meager apartments of pctor tenements are gathered day after dal those to whom life was not worth living, or whose end came in such poverty that their only chance' of interment was the potter's field. It is grewsome fruit, and, lying •there one above the other in the compartments of the morgue,. ea -fila corpse is the dumb witness of some life tragedy, some driving on to death from which in the end there was no 'escape. If one were to take. from .this granary of the dead in- divid1se.1 cases and traSce them throtigh all the steps that brought them to the morgue, one would find that directly or indirectly the end was due to the pace that i1ls. The Samefis true of New York City's 10,- 000 insane people and of its count- less feeble-minded idiots and epilep- t1cs.(..'4omewhere at some time some- body has gone the pace that kills, and not only has plunged himself into destruction, but has carried others -with him, or has left seeds of dissipation that. have sprung up af- ter him. I never go through the Morgue but that I feel that. above its door should be Written: -- : THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. : I never visit the idiots, the feeble- minded, the epileptics and the crip- pled children in: my department but that I am reminded that the sins of the father shall be visited upon, the child. I never see decent old women come weeping to the almshouse but that j am sure there is a relentless fate that mixes up the lives of men and makes the innocent suffer' with the guilty. But while the germ of degeneracy may not be eradicated or even regu- lated, there is no doubt in my mind that its effect can be minimized and that through the active agencies now at work it is being minimized: There is always the fool to be parted from his money and there is always that impetuousity of temperament that must be periodically appeased wheth- er it manifests itself . in -drink- or gambling or any other. forth of dissi- pation. But statistics will show, I believe, that urban people are better to -day than at any other period in the world's history. Tho pace that kills is a vice that. comes with civili- zation and its accumulation of wealth and its prevalence of poverty; for, as the fortunes of a few men in- crease the fortunes of many men de- crease, and the fool without money goes the pact. quite us disastrously o himself as the fool with money. Some men go it because they are rich and Some becuase they are poor, ,some because they are well and Some -boctraSe I hey are ick,ssome be -- cause they are happy -and some 'be- cause they are unhappy. Their atti- tude is much the same as that of the man who -drank in cold weather to keep himself warm and in warm weather to keep himself cool. As I said before, the germ of de- generacy works in all kinds of peo- ple and under all kinds of -condi-. tions. But with the advance of civ- ilization there has come a cowrie - tion on the part of students of muni- cipal government that in municipal government attention is given rather. to effect than to cause. 'New York city spends princely sums of mousy in taking care of criminals and paup- ers. It should pay more attention to the causes of crime and poverty, It is better to remove the cause of illness than to take care of a per- son suffering from an illness as the effect of that cause. It is better to prevent a man from becoming la criminal than to lock him up after he has committed a crime.

With cleaner places to live in and cleaner environ - fluent for all the people there would be less use for hospitals anti,- pri- sons. The pace that kills woul-i still continue, but to the wheels of the chariot of the fool, I hat gees it there would be 'chained fewer vitt ims and there would also 'be fewer toele to emulate his example. The river must still give up its dead; the inebriate and the madman must still come to Bellevue; Fifth avenue wine and First avenue whisky must still be drunk, and wonian, more sinned against than sinning, must still have her part in it. all, But if cities went more to tat> root of things than to the branch, to the causes of crime and pover'ey than to the effects„ there would be less of human suffering and less of tempta- tion to go to the pace that John W. 1Celler, President Depart- ment of Charities and Correction,, New York. THE WESLEY PORTRAITS. A Unique C011ecticel of Portraits for Vie- tor'a University. The portraits of the Wesley family which have been painted by Mr. W. L. Forster will be a distinct acquisition to Toronto art ,. They will be finally hung in the Viet aria University. The unveiling t oak in the Metropolitan Church parlors on Monday, April 22, 1901. are three portraits, represerning John Wesley, the father of Method- ism; Charles Wesley, the poet of Me- thodism, and Susannah Wesley, the mother of Methodism. The portraits are the result of much travel and study by Mr. Forster in England, and he has omitted no detail of study which would assist in assur- ing accuratee of detail in the pietures and of likeness. The portrait of ohn 'Wesley is already well known to the art public of Toronto, as it is now on view at the Academy - It represents John Wesley expounding a passage. His rieht hand is held aloft, and his right foot advanced. Ho is robed in black. The figure is strong, and in the features ran be. seen. -the strength of convic- tion and- purpose which enabled him to carry out his great movement so sit cress Deily._ , The portrait of Charles Wesley shows him- standing' before a table with an open book upon it. In his left hand is a piece of manuscript, and in his right hand a quill pen. HI' is robed also in black. The fea- tures are seen to resemble strongly hose of his .brcither, and in the eyes n nd forehead ds the -same light of in- telligence and farm will. The por- trait of Mr. is most inter- est ing.

Mr. ,Forster has devoted the min- utest energy and skill upon this work.

What Happened to the Old Alchemist Who Firs; Found It Out. It occurred tic. an alchemist one day that it would be a fine thing to take sulphur, , saltpetre and dried toads, pound them all to ii, powder and "sublime" them together in an alembic, which i.e carefully luted and set on the furnace to heat, says a writer in I Airislee's Magazine. He poked up the fire and waited around, thinking what he would do with all his money if this would turn nut to be the ' powder of reduction that would burn base metals tato gold, when, bane went the alenibie and the windowS blew. out, and the door ripped off its hinges and fell down, Islam! The alchemist scuffled out from under the ruins of the furnace, shook a red-hot coal or two off out of his shoe and the ashes off him- self, and wondered what had struck him. He tried it again and again, and each ti o with the same result; and then it dawned on him that he had disco rered a fair article of blasting - p wder. Since then. about all that ha been done to his repine has been . to put in a little better grade of ch rcoal, say that of willow twigs, inst ad of tonsted toads. Little did the old alchemist dream el what potency was in that "powder of reductioi ." For such it was. Al- though it I ever yet has turned lead into gold by its mere touch, . yet when a small, round piece of lead is put with the powder into a round tithe of 'ouripus workmanship and fire laid thereto it is possible to con- vert- nnot her man's gold into the possession f- him that has the iron tube of cu ions workmanship, and not gold only, but all manner of goods an 1 . chat t els, houses and lands, me sal i ages, easements and hereditaments, even menh, souls and bodies.

As a boy at Eton he would watch the livelong night for ghosts and consulted his books how to raise one. His diet in after years was meager enough to bring him weird fan- cies. Bread became his chief sustenance, and his pockets were well stored with it.
