day from Sandy Hook, and as we steam.
ed along we heard a bell ring.
"Hear that bell ?" said Elsie.
"Where ie it ?" cried Ralph.
"We're too far out to hear the bells on
shore, aren't we, papa ?" asked Robert.
"'I think we ars," answered papa
"now try to find out where it is, esoh of
you."
"The sound seems to me as if it came
right out of the water," said I.lsie.
"Can it be ringing on one of those boate
coming this way e" asked Ralph. "It
sounds louder and louder."
"Because we are getting nearer and
nearer to it," laughed Hobert. "It's on
that buoy. isn't it papa ?"
"Yes that is it. You see the buoys al
the different points ; they are to show
the shallow and dangerous places in the
hay. But sometimes there are thick fogs
so that the buoy cannot he seen. So a
bell is fastened to one, and as it swings
with the motion of the waves the bell
rings and kives warning of the danger."
"Isn't that splendid ?" said Elsie.
"It was a very good thought to attach
the bell to the buoy," said papa ; many
lives have been saved by it, there is no
doubt. Gan you think of anything that
is like the bell buoy to warn us of
danger ?"
"The Bible, I think," said Robert.
r00it FATHER TO 60N.
One day a young man entered a mer-
chant's office to Boston, and with a pale
and care -worn face, he said :
"Sir, 1 am in need of help. I have
been unable to meet certain payments,
because parties have not done as they
agreed by me, and I would like to have
$10,000. I came to you because you were
a friend to my father, and might be a
friend to me,"
"Come in," said the old merchant ;
"Come in and have a glass of wine."
"No," said the young man, "I don't
drink."
"Have a cigar, then,"
"No, I never smoke."
"Well," said the old gentleman, "I
would like to accommodate you, but I
don't think I can"
"Very well," said the young man as he
was about to leave the room. "I thought
perhaps you misfit. Good -day, sir."
"Hold on," said the merchant. "Yon
don't drink 0"
"No."
"Nor smoke ?"
"No."
"Nor gamble, nor anything of that
sort ?"
"No sir • I am superintendent of a
Sunday school."
"Well," said the merchant, "you shall
have it, and three times the amount if
you wieh. Your father let me Neve $5,-
000 once, and asked me the same ques-
tions. He trusted me, and I will trust
you. No thanks•—I owe it to you for
your father's trust."

that any habitual drunkard may be in-

His comrades sew a chance the second
time to give him a little lesson. Ile had
gone to bed and thrust his bare foot ant
from tinder the blanket, and they fasten•
ed one of his spurs on his naked heel.
The trooper lay in a heavy and motion-
less sleep for a long time. At last he
stirred, changed his position and deg the
spur into his other leg.
"011, Help i Murder I" he shouted.
Then he started up, struck a light, and
looked at the spur fathomed on his bare
heel.
"Well," he said, "If that doesn't make

Drunkenness ie a sin against, God, i4

Court of Appeals, Washington, in a re-
cent case said:—•"Wo hold eln>yllatiaally

that voluntary intoxipation is neither an
exouse nor a palliation Roe crime, 'Volun-

WHAT THE 'rearm COSTS,
See how much of our actual wealth and
industry goes In exports each year to
make up that four and a half millions
paid by the liquor importers.
The total ,exports of all kinds, of the
Province of Nova Scotia for that year,
1888 89, the trade returns tell us, amount•
ed to $8,882,281, This included all our
export ooal, ships, timber, fish, agrioul-
tnral produce and all mannfaotnred ar•
bales. It required only one half of all
this great sum to pay the importers' lir
quor bill 1 It required more than three
times all the foreign exports of Prince
Edward Island to meet the Dominion
liquor bill.
The total exports of all the mines of the
entire Dominion that year, these trade
returns tell us, was worth $4,419,170 or
just about enough to pay our liquor im•
ports. This included all coal, iron, cop•
per, gypsum, coal oil, phosphates, stone
and marble. Little wonder that Canada
is not being enriched by her mineral
wealth, abundant as it ie.
The total exports of all Canada's
manufacturers after more than 12 years
of heavy taxation borne loyally by the
people in order to develop them, was $4,•
434,049, or a small balance over the
import liquor bill. The manufactures
included our entire exports of agricul•
tura! implements, books, carriages,
clothing, cotton, furs, of iron, and steel,
leather boots and shove, musical instru-
ments, ships, furniture and manufaOtur-
ed hnmber of all kinds.
I !Melee take several more significant,
if not startling comparisons as they may
be called from our last Government
report, but space would fail me:
A spendthrift wbo works hard all the
week and drinks up all 1110 earnings on
Saturday night, going in debt for actual
necessities, is well considered a worthless
oitizen, unworthy of his personal liberty.
If our Canada freely sells to other omen -
tries all its output of mineral wealth, or
all its wealth, or all its manufactories or
half of its entire fisheries, and takes the
whole of these sums and drinks it up
during the year, bow is its conduct
better than that of an intemperate
spendthrift ?
Right in the face of these facts is it
not clear that not only do the moral but
the material interests of Canada demand
a law prohibiting the importation of
liquors in Canada ? Can our national
resource.' thus be squandered and yet we
expect God to prosper our country.
'file BANANA,
The banana goes back to the earliest
days. Alexander's soldiers, as Pliny says,
joined the sages of India seated in its
shades and partaking of the dalioious
fruit. Benue the name ."sapientmn,"
given the plant, which likewise bears the
name of Jupitor's fair daughter, Musa.
Now it has been shown that the banana
is of Malayan origin. How did it get to
India and to South America and Mexico?
The feet of birds have borne seed a full
10,000 miles, while the cocoanut floated
well nigh the world around in the great
ocean. But the banana has no seeds, nor
has it a casing like the globular oocoa-nut
to float it around over the waters. Then
it must have been carried by than. It is
significant that Aztecs had traditions of
visits by people from over the seas, while
there was, to confirm it, an admixture of
the religion of the Brahmigs in their own
theology. Would you think that the de-
spised banana would actually step for-
ward to prove that before Columbus was,
or Lief Ericson even had an existence,
some swarthy denizens of the old world I
had migrated across the Waters ?
3111. LEASE JINEIY Illslt.
The other day it was reining hard when
Mrs. Lease boarded a street oar. The
car was ohuek full and all the men on the
seats sat closer back and evinced a deter.
mination to keep a position of sedentary
comfort. Mrs. Leaao cast her eye down
the car and ab the same time a man in
the corner started to rise.
"Don't," said the man next to inim,
grasping his arm. "That's kite. Lease.
Don't you know her ? She believes in
the equality of the sexes. Woman sulf.
rage, you know."
The stooped man smiled and pot np.
"Come," said the speaker, still more
importunate, "you're not going to get up,
are you ? If she thinks she's equal to a
man lot her stand. Give her a close of
her own medicine."
But Mrs. Lease had taken the man's
seat, greatly to the discomfort of the
other, who wanted to see her stand. Next
day he met the stranger on the street.
"Hello 1" he said, "you're the man that
gave up your seat to Mrs. Leese. You
miseod a good chance to take her down a
little. There wasn't another man in the
car who world have given way. Wasn't
impolite, you know. Just a little joke.
What made you get up ? Did she hypno-
tize you 0"
"See hero," said the man addressed, "1
guess you don't know me,"
"Can't soy that I do. Who ere you?"
"I'm Mr. Lease."

PLAIN FACTS.
Detroit, Jan. 18:h, 1.895.
J. 111. McLeod, Goclerich :
Dear Sir—Twelve years ago I coin•
menced doctoring for, lung trouble. I
was treated by the most eminent phy•
sioians, but their medicines would help
me for only a very short time. I wee
gradually getting worse and had a beak-
ing cough night and day. A11 benefit
sooretiee refused me membership. About
three years ego I was taken down with
la grippe, wbioh came near finishing my
existence. By the best of cars I recover-
ed sufficient strength to walk, but oould
eaarcely stand up for five minutes at a
time. Kidneys and urinary organs af-
fected badly. When in this condition a
friend advised me to get your System
Renovator Improved, which I dict last
April, but without any hopes of it doing
me any good. I believed my case was
hopeless, but, as a drowning man will
grasp at it, straw, I accepted two bottles
of the Renovator and one of the Specific
Cure for my lungs. After I had taken a
few doses, to my great surprise I began
to improve, and by the bime I had taken
the fifth bottle, my lungs healed and the
cough ceased. Before I finished the
eighth in all, I was cured of all my
complicated diseases in lungs, liver and
kidneys. I now have a good appetite and
Bleep well. I gained considerably since.
I believe your System Renovator the
greatest remedy in existence, and I hope
other sufferers will benefit by my cure.
I remain, yours greatfnlly, W. I. BELL,
