EKilla ot 1U1 Intemperance. by Mee Mattie Taylor, of Clinton, at the den Endeavor meeting of Willis ohuroh edneaday evening of last week. Temperance has been well defined as ctt>he moderate. use of things helpful, tots], abstinence from things 'Intemperance then is the eesswve use of things helpful, and the Slightest use of things hurtful. In Pop• ular conversation "intemperance' has Come to have special application to the use of alcoholic liquors. This week's %.Scripture reminds us that there are Other forms of immoderation. We are Warned against impurity:this contends With drunkenness for diabolical su- premacy over the world. It is a diffi- cult question to deal with in public ser- vice, but. we should be instructed in this much more than we are. I fear . that'often we are not instructed and iii' ea-a(s we should be. Then again in Jas. 3: 6 we are warn - •ed against intemperance of the tongue. It is practised by mwny who would shudder at grosser forme of excess. The free use of slang endangers the power to state a fact accurately or give valid testimony. The end of this kind of babbling is at the foot of the hill, where stands the profane swearer, rip- ping out terrible oaths. Beware of intemperance of overwork, • not to get gain. In our eagerness to hasten the coming of the Kingdom, we are tempted to take the reins out of our Master's hands, and urge on Chris- tian work at lightning -express speed. Pause! listen! Enlist as a comrade of the quiet hour, Let God teach us what is genuine and worth while. Quality to better than quantity. Now let us think of the worst form of intemperance in the world—the in- satiate thirst for alcohol. An appetite born of evil desire for mental and ani- mal excitement, whetted by hereditary bias, stimulated by good -fellowship and social custom, catered to by a greedy and satanic traffic, and sustain- ed by the apathy, cowardice, and dis- cord of many Christian people; it stands the overmastering horror ot the world. There is no evil at the pre- sent day that is so destructive to the body, mind and soul as alcohol. 1st Cor., 9: 25, And every man that striv- eth for the mastery is temperate in all things. ' There is an old and mistaken notion that alcohol gives strength; on the con- , >rary it is the opposite. A test was once tried to determine the strength- 1-ving power of alcohol. Two gangs ;::of men, as nearly equal in strength and eine as possible, were put to work break - stone'. Both Steqn ual umber of men,gcontaineds but toone gang liquors containing alcohol were given. At first the alcohol gang did by far the it, most work, but when the effects of the alcohol ceased, the men fell far behind the other men in their work, so that tat the end of the day the gang which -'did not drink had done the greatest amount of work. This was continued for three or four days, the result being the same. The experimenters then re- versed the gangs, giving the non-alco- holic gang alcohol, and allowing the other gang none; but the men not us- ing the stimulant came out ahead every time. Solomon testifies how fatal is is to -kill he body. `He saysi "Give strong to him who is ready to perish." ave proven that alcohol des - fie blood -cells an free action of the bid es force, reeees vital tion. also paraly- ryes. Therelet us look to the "evils to the mind`";' In Isaiah 28: 7, "But they also hav':: ed through wine, and through b_: `(. rink are out of the way; the and the prophets have erred strong drink; they are swal- p in wine, they are out of ti e ough strong drink; they err in hey stumble in judgment." 1st 7, "For they that sleep, sleep ight; and they that be drunken ken in the night." We see by d -many other passages, what e Bible says alcohol has on the It weakens the mind so that ve not the same judgment. The i'al use of liquor, even to the ex - Gr short of what is necessary to nee intoxication, diminishes the tal powers. Dr. Chasper states at so far as the city in which he lives. Ys concerned, one-third of the insane comes from the poorer classes, and were made so by spirit -drinking. Then again we see the effect of intoxication within our prison walls, where nearly every person, with few exceptions, has •,r;,,,;, been reduced to that stage by the use of -alcoholic liquors. A chief of pollee in one of the cities of England was ask- ed what he had to say in the cause of temperance. He replied, "All I have to say is that I never took a teetotaler to prison in my life." Surely then we have conclusive evidence to show that it weakens H,nd destroys the mind and . senses. • 'Again; eC'us notice the effect on the sold. 1st-; Cor. 6: 10, "No drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of heaven." Gal. 5:21, "Envyings, murders, drunk - `'r enness, reyellings, and such like; of the ;which I tell you before, as I have alio told you in time past, that they which 'do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God." Dr. Steele states that under the sub - , tie influence of this poison, signs of Spiritual weakness multiply fast. The r conscience is lulled to rest. Great mo- ral principles and motives lose their power and influence. The better na- ture bas lost its supremacy. At first Satan holds out the tempting cup, and induces us by many promises to taste the sparkling wine. In a very short ''time after the senses are dulled, and he repeats the terrible ringing words, -"You are my prisoner." Let us then use our influence in every i way to destroy this terrible curse. Rom. 13: 13-14, "Let us walk honestly as in the days; not in rioting and drunk- enness, not in chambering and wanton- ness, not in strife and envying; but put ye on the Lord Jes.rs Christ, and make not p ovieion for the flesh, to fulfil the Wets '' hereof." We find in Gal. 5: 22-23 'B e fruit of the spirit is love, joy, n. -suffering, gentleness, good- , meekness, temperance, there is no law.' the twlbs demand the r e best brains, the clearest est will,then s thought, the firmest ol:le, t "spirit that Christian moeration can ;Supply. Christian Endeavorers stand r for this when they vowt, he I will do Whatever he Would - like to have me do." �fe Odle !a a tar e casr7 a e rllirit z. e 1:P >5rpow AltX sitVl "'tris$ HOME NEWS Thin in flesh ?

SCOTT & nOwNB, Chemists, Toronto., A TRAIN ROBBING STORY. The Drummer From New York Narrates a Romantic Experience. , The drummer had just finished reading a story of a train hold up and let his news- paper fall into his lap. " I had a rather romantic experience once with train robbers," he said, "which I think I won't ever forget. I had been laid up sink for a week at a tavern in a Kansas town and my attendant had been a very sweet and gentle girl, who was a relative of the landlord. She was such a nice girl that I was In no hurry to get well, and while I was putting it oft all I could I was as industriously putting on the chains of love. Ab the end of ten days I was able to take up my sample case again, and when I left the town my gentle nurse was on the same train, in my charge, bound for Kansas City, whore she was to be met by friends, I had never talked love to her, and I fancy she didn't suspect me of any- thing except a desire to flirt a little, but I had made up my mind to talk seriously to her before I let her friends take her away from me. "I fooled along, as most men do under the same ofroumstanoes, waiting for a real good chance to come in, but before I reach- ed the proper condition the train Dame to a sudden stop in a lonely plane, and by the time wo had asked what the trouble was a half masked train robber stood in the aisle of the oar with a revolver covering the contents. The girl turned as white as a sheet and I thought she would faint, but I told her she wouldn't be hurt, and she sat there as if she had turned into stone. As it happened, I kept my wits, and when, a shot and a shout rose on the air outside and attracted the robber's attention for a moment, I whipped my revolver out of my overcoat pocket and would have got him sure, but as I brought the gun around the girl at my side caught my arm and stop- ped me. I looked at her in amazement. "'Don'ts' she gasped. 'It's my father!' And then she fell in a faint, while the rob- ber hurried out in response to the calls from his partners. "As for mo," concluded the drummer, "I thought probably it would be just as well for me not to add to the poor girl's troubles by trying to get into her family." —Washington Star.

"Talking about narrow escapes," said Campbell Hardy, who has experienced the tips and downs•of 12 years of newspaper life, to a Galveston News man, "reminds me of an experience I underwent while running a little country newspaper up in Illinois, chasing the festive advertisement and the elusive news item. My office and plant, where I molded public opinion and told••a.-limited number of subscribers what to do in order to be saved, was located in a harness shop. One bright spring $torn- ing, while engaged in writing an editorial I was interrupted in my intellectual reverie by the sound of scurrying foot below, and the next instant by a terrific explosion, which shook the building., "All was a blank for the next minute, when I found myself lying up against a broken sash. Gathering myself together, after wondering whether it was the falling of a brick wall or the kick of an energetic mule that had struck me, I surveyed the ruins. There was a hole in the floor beside me and one in the roof above, through which you could have driven a govern- ment ox team, and a `pied' and wrecked newspaper office. It appears that the oo- cupant below had sprung the combina- tion of his safe, and, being desirous of re- covering the princely sum of $1.70, along with some valuable papers, had In a mo- ment of temporary insanity engaged a I party to blow open the safe door with dynamite. The safe was placed on its back, charged with the explosive, and the fuse touched off. "The bright, intellectual engineer of the job neglected to notify -ane when the services began, and tho result@ wero as above stated. It was a miracle that I was not blown toiecee as luck would P but, have it, I was just outside of the dead lino, for had I mat the safe in its upward flight the chances are my friends would be still looking for my remains with a rake. Though I was somewhat bruised and dis- figured, I am pleased to note that I re- mained in the ring Gentlemen, I have been jumbled up in a railroad aeeieent, mingled with the tall of a Dakota blizzard, been wrecked at sea and storm tossed, but this wee my narrowest escape from Budden death that I have to chronicle.

I am destined to die a natural death; otherwise 1 would have crossed the groat divide long ago, for I've been on the brink several times, Like the tonsorial artist, I stand ready to cry, 'Next!'

In days long gone by the judges and sergeants appear always to have gone to Westminster hall on horseback, with a ret- inue of men in livery. And in the ad- dresses to the sergeants on their pall, advice was given them as to the number of horses they should keep when riding the circuit. The judges up to the middle of the sixteenth century seem usually to have gone on mules, like the old bishops and abbots. Sergeant Whiddon, who was made a judge of the common pleas in 1558, is said to have been the first to introduce the oustom of riding on horseback instead of mule. It is said that the oavaloado was sometimes very imposing, the lord chan- cellor and great officers of state, with the judges and leaders of the bar and many of tho nobility, going on horseback in full state. Such was certainly the case when Bacon obtained tho great seal in 1617. The king's sergeants, selected from the general body, varied very much in num- ber. When the number exceeded three, a further distinction was conferred by con- stituting one or more of them the king's ancient or most ancient sergeants. The king's sergeants were in every way the chiefs of the bar and always took preced- ence of the attorney general and every one else as the king's counsel in the law and chief law officers. The offices of at- torney and solicitor general are modern substitutes for that of the king's sergeant. In 1823 an order in council placed the at- torney and solicitor general before all the king's sergeants except the "two ancient - est," and so the seniority retrained until 1814, when by an order in council the at- torney and solicitor general were perma- nently placed over all the sergeants. Tho difference between a queen's coun- sel and a sergeant is this—the former is created by patent and the latter by writ under the great seal. As to rank there is no difference whatever between a sergeant who has obtained a patent of precedence and a queen's counsel, but with regard to sergeants who have no patent it is other- wise.—Gentleman's Magazine. His First Firearm. Marshall Tidd, the famous gun builder of Woburn, Mass., made his first flerarm out of a spike 63 years ago. When Mar- shall was 10 •years old, his father died, and he was apprenticed .to a shoemaker. On the day when the Boston and Lowell railroad ran its first train through Woburn the boy was ono of the spectators. He picked up a spike, and the idea occurred to him that it could be fashioned into a pistol barrel. A blacksmith cut off the ends of the spike, and Marshall then bored It on his brother's lathe. He found a piece of hoop iron and fastening one end in a vise made a spiral of the metal. When he got the shape that seemed best, ho made a tool to out the; inside of the barrel. This pistol barrel was mounted on a stook that extends the bntire length of the barrel. The hammer is very old fashioned in de- sign, striking a percussion cap nipple. Ho sold tho weapon to another boy for $3, and, it was lost sight of for nearly a quarter of a century. Ono day a friend got track of it and presented it to the maker. It is still in working order.—New York Trib- une. The Burning of Green Wood. Ettery one who enjoys sitting by a wood fire must have observed how the wood sputters and hisses and frequently gives off little jets of flames and again the pieces crackle and fly off at a considerable dis- tance. This is caused by the water in the wood which, confined in the cella, becomes heated and generates steam. It is a curi- ous fact that intense heat and intense cold produce fractures in various substances. In tho most extreme cold weather it is not uncommon, especially if the cold has come on suddenly, to find trees that are split from the ground for the top by the action of frost. Freezing expands the wa- ter -in the culls of the wood, and so sud- denly is this done that the trees burst es • would a pitcher or mug in which water was confined.—Now York Leger.

The Remarkable Journey of w Pirate Who Escaped From the Spanish. Frank R. Stookton, in his eketobes of "Tbe Buccaneers of Our Coast," writes of Barthelemy Portuguez in St. Nicholas. After telling of his escape from the Span- ish, Mr. Stockton says: He had found in the marsh an oldgourd, which he had filled with fresh water, and be bad nothing but the raw shellfish which be found upon the rooks. ut after a diet of roots, shellfish must have been a very agreeable change, and they gave him all the strength and vigor he needed. Very often he found streams and inlets which ho was obliged to ford, and as he oould 800 that they were always filled with alli- gators the passage of them was not very pleasant. His method of getting across one of these narrow streams was to burl rocks into the water until he had frighten- ed away the alligators immediately in front of him and then he would dash in and hurry across. At other times great forests stretohed down to the very coast, and through these he was obliged to make his way, although he could hear the roars and screams of wild beasts all about him. But he was bound for Golpho Triste and was not to be stopped on his way by anything alive. But at last bo came to something, not alive, which seemed to bo an obstacle which would certainly get the better of him. This was a tcyide river dowing thr''ugh the inlandiri+'runtry into the sea. Ho made his way of the shore of this river for a considerable distance, but it grew but little narrower, and he could see no chance of getting across. He could not swim, and if he had been able to swim ho would probably have been oaten up by alligators soon after he left the shore. But he would not give up; he had done so much that he was ready to do more if he could only find out what to do. Now a piece of very good fortune hap- pened to him, although to an ordinary traveler it might have been considered a matter of no importance whatever. On the edge of the shore, where it had floated down from some region higher up the river, Batholemy perceived an old board in which wero soiree long and heavy rusty nails. Greatly encouraged by this discov- ery, Barthelemy carefully knocked all the nails out of the board, and then, finding a large flat stone, he rubbed down each one of them until he had formed it into the Shape of a rude knife blade, which he made as sharp as he 'could. Then with tbeso tools be undertook the construction of a raft. With the nails which he had sharpened he cut down a number of small trees, and when be had enough of these slender trunks he bound them together Bath reeds and osiers which he found on the river bank. Thus after infinite labor and trial he constructed a raft which would bear him on the surface of the water. When he had launched this, he got upon it, gathering up his legs so as to keep them out of reach of the alligators, and with a long pole pushed himself off from shore. Sometimes pad- dling and sometimes pushing his pole against the bottom, he at last got across the river and took up bis journey upon dry land. • Her Ailment. . Peter Sangster resided in the Lammer- moor hills. In his youthful years he had only received at the parochial school a sma' education. He was, notwithstand- ing, a keen observer of the animal crea- tion. In a word, he was what might be termed a"skilly body," for in proof, when folk or ony kind o' cattle foil sick, with- out a moment's consideration he was sent for immediately. In case of emergencies Peter invariably parried in his pockets de: coctions of herbs in bottles, so that anti- dotes might be administered with alacrity. ' It will thus be seen that he was a firm be- liever in the auld saying that "a stitch in time saves nine." Upon a night Tibbie Trotter fell unco ill, and Peter was sent for. Now day after day she swallowed his drugs, yet no improvement was per- ceptible. In fact, it was thought by some that instead of growing better she was gradually growing worse and worse. A professional doctor was at length sent for, and when ho. camp Peter was smoking his pipe at the kitchen fire. Tbe doctor soon examined Tibbie, and after giving needful prescriptions and instructions ho bade her good day. As- be was going out at .the, door Peter cried to him, "I say, doctor, what do ye think is the matter wi' her?" The doctor hesitated a moment and then he said, "She is recuperating." "Aye, aye," replied Peter, "that is just the very thing that I thought was the matter wi' her. Dear mol Poor body!"— Detroit Tribune. A Stranger In New York. A man came in on the train from cen- tral Jersey. •He came in by way of Ho- boken. After he left the train he wan- dered aimlessly about for sone little time. Then he walked up to a citizen of Ho- boken. "Say," said he, "bow can I get to, New York?" "New York? Now—oh, you mean—oh, yes, now I know what you moans You mean that place over there. Say, are yon going over there?" "Yep," said the stranger, looking very uncomfortable under the citizen's scorn- ful gaze. "Say," said the citizen, "you look like a respectable man, hardworking. Got a family?" "Yep e "And going to Neve York?" "Yep." "Well, 1 don't suppose there's any help- ing it if you've resigned yourself.

He was led to his seat by his friend and his fare duly paid by hie companion. It was therefore something of a surprise to a passenger who watched the group to see the companion suddenly turn and ask the time of his blind friend. Withopt an instant's hesitancy, the man took a watch from his pocket, opened it, and passing his fingers over It answered quickly, "Five minutes after 7." There 'was, of course, really nothing remarkable in a blind man being able to read tho time from a watch, presumably with raised fig- ures and no crystal, but it was done so naturally promptly tl orals and that it made a P Y great impression upon one who saw it for the first bine.—Now York Commercial.

The man In the chair of torture was re- monstrating with the doctor of dental sur- gery. That's all right," said the dentist, "but you are foolish not to let me build that tooth up with gold for you." "What's the use? It will cost me $40, you say, and I cannot afford to eat my $5 a week board with a 6x'40 tooth. It is too much dead capital." "Is it?" smiled the dentist. "Listen to a story. About ten years ago I was trying to make a living in the west in partner- ship with a follow who wasn't any luckier than I was. Wo worked around to the north, where the winters are as bad as they are in the Klondike, and our funds kept getting lower and lower until starva- tion sat down to table with ue. The weather was getting colder, too, and the last wagon train out was booked for the following Sunday, then two days away. It was our last chance, for to remain there for the four months till the trail was open meant death, sure. Tho prion to go with the train was $25 each. Just what CM amounts to you will never know until yeti need it asbadly as we did. "'We hadn't a oent on earth, and nothing to put up to get one with. It was indeed a cold day for both of us. By Saturday noon we had given up all hope of getting out and had retired to our shanty. .As we sat gazing in stupid despairateaoh.othen my partner grinned a ghastly grin and the,. gleam of tho gold in his filled teeth caught my eye. I concealed my feelings and quiet- ly asked him how many teeth he had filled. He told me there were six, and one of them was nearly asolid gold tooth and had cost him $50. In a minute I had oom- munioated my idea to him, and in another minute I had my tools, for I had been studying dentistry then, at work in his mouth, digging away like a miner. 1t was a rich field, and in half an hour I had out every bit of gold in those teeth of his and had beaten it up into a wad that we took to the owner of a saloon who knew what raw gold was worth. He looked It oyer and offered 680 for the wad.
