Temperance Thoughts.

A statement was in circulation some time ago that Mr. Spurgeon induiged in wine That report brought out this statement from the eminent man of God: ‘“‘I am a total abstainer, advocate total abstinence, and rejoice in wearing the blue ribbon.”

We nave it on no less an authority than that of Professor Harnack, of Berlin, one of the leading specialists in church history, that the use of water instead of wine in the communfon was almost universal in the early Christian church

Grand temperance work is being done in the English navy through the efforts of Miss Agnes Westun and others. On some ships, ten per cent. of the ship's company are enrolled as tocal abstainers. Remem- bering the sailor’s proverbial f »ndness for ‘* grog,” this is certainly encouraging.

The Deer Park Sanitarium, a private asylum for inebriates, was opened in To- jronto(Can.) in November. Its founders ' purpose to surround a patient with Chris- tian influence, and send him out, not only , cured of his appetite tor aicohel and nar- cotics, but a th rough Christian man.

At a recent aveting in Scotland, Mr. ' Moody told of » Scotch distiller with whom ' he had been talking, who boasted to him of

having given one hundred and thirty tons ef coal to the poor. ‘As if,” said the (evangelist, ‘* that could be a set-off agaiust ‘the havoc wrought through his hellish business.”

There never was a stricter pledge than that of Solomon’s. Wethink it sufficient ,to say ** Drink not,” but he said ** Look

not on the wine.” The color, the sparkle, the very sight of the intoxicating draught is enough to awaken the appetite in some men, su that it becomes neceasary for them to make a covenant even with their eyes.

Why is it that one peril is courted while | another peril is shunned, in popular estima- ition? Boys, for example, love to play with gunpowder in spite ot its risks, but are dis- inclined to play wish poisonous snakis And men and women who are afraid of strychniae have no fear of wine or whiskey. Nothing, indeed, is more remarkable in connection with the liquor question, than the officious readi- ness of unprofessional people to recommend something that has ‘‘the urunk” in it to their friends and neighbors, as a remedy for every

News Notes.

Lydia A. Walker, 16 yeara old, was caught setting fire to a barn at Columbus, Wis., on the llth inst. She fled and her pursuer had nearly overtaken her when she drew a large butcher knife aud detied ar- rst. Two blows from a club were neces- sary to compel her to surrender. When

At 11 o'clock Jast evening, says a Louis- ville, Ky., despatch of the 1ith, Charles Winiger, who lives at Tweaty-second and Walnut Streets, and is employed in « furni- ture factory, was a single man and had no idea of getting married. Two hours later he was a husband and on his way home with his wife. He had finished his work at the factory rather early in the afternoon, and after eating supper concluded to take stripuptown. He stopped at the house of an acquaintance, where he met Mary Winks. It was a case of love at first sighr, and he lost no time in proposing. The woman was equally well pleased with her strange admirer, and she readily gave her consent. A carriage was called, and the couple drove over to Jeffersonville, Ind,, where they were married The marriage is one of the quickest on record.

A Regina despatch says: In the Assmeb. ly Nolin, of Batoche, moved for a special commitiee to enquiry into the question of indemnity to persons who suffered loss of property after the rebellion of 1885. He charged the officials with having acted like brigands.

Oliver Dunsfer, who died last week at his home near Bernardsville, N. J., left an estate valued at nearly $200,000, although he began to build up his fortune by work- ing forthree cents an hour. He was 82, and was considered eccentric. He had two relics in which he took much pride in showing to his friends. It was the inden- ture binding him to Oliver Woudward, and the other a tobacco box half filled with tobacco. He shut this tobacco box up forty years ago and never used the weed

Emma Hayland, 22 years old, daughter of Herman Hayland, a wealthy leather merchant, who lives at No. 128 East 84th Street, New York, committed suicide by hanging herself on Friday last.

ago, and since then a very few others have been secured, but no ie have been found at any time except during the short period of semi-tropical rains, Perpetual boring seems to be the characteristic feature of the creature’s life. It euters the ground obli- quely, and burrows either for a few feet or many yards, not apparently reaching a depth of more than two or three inches. Its conical snout and scoop-like claws evable it to bore with wonderful rapidity. It fills the tunnel as it progresses, and is not known to make permanent burrows After emerging, the mole travels a few feet on the surface, when it again enters the ground.

Tue Most Powrrroet Brasting Agent. —A new explosive called fortis, is being tested by the Belgian Government, and is reported to have given really startling results. The substance is now believed to have a force from 30 to 40 per cent. greater than that of any other explosive known. A mine, 13 feet deep, was drilled in the solid rock, and charged with a relatively small quantity of fortis. It detached a mass Over 200 fect high, breaking it into pieces of 50 or 60 pounds, and projecting them to a distance of 350 yards.

Between 1860 and 1889, the total pro- duction of aluminum is estimated to have been 110 short tons, exclusive of alloys. In 1889, the product in the United States, including that contained in alloys, was 47,468 pounds; in England about 12,000 puunds; in France, 10,000 pounds; and in Germany 20,000 pounds. The production of aluminum ailoys had enormously in- 759 pounds for the United States aloue.

Exercise FOR Etperty Prorie. — The tissues and orgins, Mr Frederick Lagrange tells us, do not mature at once in man. At 45 years the bones and muscles have lost none of their solidity and vigor, ut after 35 years of age, even in conditions of perfe t health, the heart and arteries tend to a deterioration which is scientifically known as sclerosis but has been more picturesquely called the “rust of life.” This imperfection of the arterial system is shown by shortness of breath, and tine heart suffers in case of too vivlent exertion. jut the need of exercise, less intense and energetic than the running and rowing races of youth, continues It is in the eariiest period of mature age that the most characteristic manifestations of lack of nutrition—obesity, gout and diabetes, in which lack of exercise plays an important part—are produccd; aud the treatment of them demands imperiously a stirring up of the vital combustion, Walking is the most hygienic exercise for the elderly, provided it is sufficiently prolonged. Nothing isso good for the man of 50 years ss a gunning tramp, or long pedestrian tours like those the Alpinists make. {ack of time, however, may compel another chvice. Many opea air games, hke tennis, lawn tennis, and even rowing, when practiced not for racing but as a recrea ion— that is, with a liveliness graduated to the respiratory capacity of the rower—provoke, for example, in one or two hours, an elimina- tion ef the products of disissimiiation and an aquisition of oxygen equivalent to what one cau get from eight or ten hours of walking. They gain time for the busy man, but in sach a way as to give the good effects of exercise while avoiding too great forciog of the cir- culation and of respiration.

Tnovent TRANSFERENCE. — That science still has much to learn was recoguized by Prof. Lodge, President of the section of Mathematics and Physics at the late meeting of the Beitish Asece ation, in these words: “May there not also be an immaterial (per- haps wn etherial) medium of communication ? Is it possible that an idea can be transferred from one person to another by a process such as we have not yet grown accustomed to, and know practically nothing about ? case I have evidsace
