Whisky is recommended as a
remedy for weak lungs. It cer-
tainly has a tendency to make
the breath stronger,
Belva Lockwood says she is the
mother of the Prohibition party
—and we guess she didn't bring

The Tato Mr Bright's drink was

One head of a public school
said he could always tell' when a
boy commenced to use tobacco. by
the record of his recitations. Prof'
Oliver, of the Annapolis Academy,
said he could indicate the boy who
used tobacco by his absolute in-
ability to draw a clean straight
line.
Some one takes the trouble to
compare figures of Great Britain's
liquor bill. The amount per head
of the population is £3 7s.; its
amount per average family £16'
5s.; its weight in sovereigns, 976
tons; its acreage, sovereigns -laid
edge to edge, fifteen acres; its
length, sovereigns laid face to face,
1152 miles; its time to count, one
sovereign per count, four years;
its amount, per each letter of the
Bible, £q4 '18s. 6d.
Col. F. H. Hawes, well known
along the Missouri river for years
as a convivial and hail -follow -well -
mot sort of a man, burned his
bowels out with bad whisky until
life became a torture to him, so
the other day ho went to his room
and' took a comcdious revolver
and blew his brains out. Before
committing the act he wrote an
ante-mortem statement which
should be published as a tract for
the guidance and profit of young
men who are in the habit of hav-
ing bartenders prescribe for them.
The following extract from the
dead mans farewell message
preaches a whole sermon in itself
"One more victim for the devil
that 'never lots loose. Once in
his grip no human agency can
save you. All sense of honor,
family pride, duty to the loved
and dependent, the agony of a de-
voted wife, the finger of scorn,
'nothing on earth can save a man,
once in the clutches of the liquor
' habit. His doom is set and sealed,
no pride in his past, no home in
his future, he sinks at last into
the bleak and bitter gulf of utter
dispair." Before taking your
dose of medicine this morning cut,
out the above and past it on your
breath.—Nebraska State Journal.
A'Bill has just been introduced
in the, .Kentucky Legislature

hibits and makes void marriage

Thirty scholars in two schools
Vancouver, W. T., have signed a
pledge to abstain from intox-
icants and tobacco until they are
21 years of age.
Arthur D,Cochrano, of the New
York Witness, is pushing the agi-
tation for an anti -tobacco law,
prohibiting the sale of tobacco to
minors under 15. Bishop Vin-
cent says: "I heartily endorse
the idea of a law which will pro-
hibit the sale of tobacco to minors
under 15.
The evils of the tobacco habit
only begin ro be felt .long after
they have become incurable .and'
the mischief is already accom-
plished. Difficult as it may be
to break the chains of the inebri-
ate or of the opium eater, those
which pinion the confirmed smok-

Tho great Doctor Guthrie long
followed the custom of most of
the Scotch ministers in his day—
taking a glass of wino. But there
was a poor, ignorant driver, who
was vviso enough to prefer total

What we do for ours while we

Love,, the true love of God, is

While men believe in the possi-
bilities of children being religious, -
they are largely failing to make
them so, because they aro offering
them not a child's but a man's re-
ligion, men's forms of truth and
men's forms of experieItce.
For your own sake, let your
thought rise. Bid it, force it, to
rise. Think of the face of Jesus,
of your future home in heaven, of
the loved ones gone before you.
In such thoughts,to Bach thoughts,
Jesus will assuredly and increas
ingly reveal himself.

A isent,leman in New York hail-
ed a bootblack for a shine. The
lad came rather slowly- for one of
that lively guild., and before ho
'could get his brushes out, another
larger boy ruts up, and pushed
him aside, -saying, 'Hero you ge
sot down, Jimmy!' The gentle-
man was indignant at what. he
deemed a piece of outrageous
'bullying, and 'sharply told • the
now -copier to clear out.

lift 'when wo ran.'
'Is that so Jimmy?' the gentle-
man asked. .
'Yes, sir,' wearrly replied the
boy; and as he looked up, the
pallid, pinched face could be dis-
corned even through the grime
that covered it. To does it for

'Certainly; go ahead,:and asi the
bootblack plied, the bruri-h,- the
gentlofnart plied him with ques-

'You say all the boys help him
in this way ?'
'Yes, sir.When th.oy•aint got

'1 ;don't know what you roan.'
'I mean,what part of tlre,money
do you give Jimmy, and bow
much do you keep out of it?'
'Von het I don't keep none ; I
aint.,no such sneak as that !' •
' '8o yott give it all to slim, do
soil?'
'Yes, i do. All the boys give
up what they gets on his job. I'd
like to catch any fellow sneaking
it on a sick boy, I would!'
The shine beingcomplete the
gentleman handed the urchin a
quarter, saying 'I guess you're a
pretty good fellow; so you keep
10 cents and give the rest to
Jimmy hero,' -
''Can't do it,blt';11's his customer.
Here, Jim.' Ho threw him the
coin and was off like a shot after a
customer of his own. Without
it, he had preached a good sermon
from tho text, 'Let brotherly love

R.S.E., Ordinary Physician for
M., the queen, in Scotland, Pro-
fessor of Practice of Physic in the
U ritrersity„of Edinburgh, writes:
' Tho arteries are sclerosed and
athoromtitpus in the advanced
stages of the inflammatory and, in
the cirrhotic but not so small in
the li axy disease. In that affec-
tion• the small vessels in other
parts are frequently the seat of
yvaxy• degeneration. ' From this
it t1 ill'bo seen that in the three
fiiigns of kidney disease classed as
Bright's disease, the arteries suf-
for changes, and it matters not
whether they undergo sclerotic,
atheromatous or waxy change,
they are so weakened as to en-
danger rapture under any in-
creased. pressure. This explains
the frequency of apoplexy and
paralysis, and as clearly demon-
strated that the, only preventive
of those disastro?i ruptures of the
blood is the timely use of Warn-
er's Safe Curo to keep the kidneys
in a healthy condition.

The fact cannot be too forcibly impressed upon the minds of all users of paint, that
good results oan be produced only by the use of good materials. The main
