| The Failure of the Scott Act.

AN OLD AND PROMINENT GOOD TEMPLAR EXPLAINS THE REASON WHY,

| From an article in the current number of

The Good Templar, of Canada, the official

organ of the Order, we clip the following,

‘written by Mr. Daniel Rose, District Chief

Bankrupt Clothing,

Templar for, Toronto and the County of York: —‘‘ As an old member of the Good Templar Order, and one worked for Prohi- bition for over thirty years in Canada, I cannot but feel the recent reverses we have met with are not altogether the fault of either Grit or Tory, but rather of the Tem- perance men themselves. Looking ‘back over the years that are past, I-find that about thirty years ago we carried Prohibi- tion in the Parliament of Canada, but got defeated on a side issue. If I remember right, the bill had not gone before a certain committee on trade and commerce, In that day our earnest Temperance men

duty by seeing that their party returned mien favorable to Prohibition." In New Brunswick, prior to Confederation, Sir Leonard Tilley risked his Government and passed Prohibition, and at the next election he was deserted and his Government was ‘overturned. Since then we have had the ‘Dunkin Bill passed, and, although far from | perfect, it did good in its day; but when re- verses came it was cast aside. Then came the Seott Act, and our Temperance friends waxed warm in its favor. It was not all we wanted, yet it was a long step in the right direction. Difficulties were met with, the liquor traffic put all the opposition that money and the Courts could place in its way, and now when that opposition is over- come and the law is being enforced we {meet reverses. It can’t he said honestly that the law dig no good, because in Hal: ton County, the first to rescind the law, our opponents even confessed that it was enforced there, Not only so, but it reduced pauperism and Crime, improved trade, and was as well enforced as laws of that nature can be expected to be. Yet why these re- verses? 1 think the reason is yery plain. Temperance men carried the law, but for- got ta keep in existence the lodges of Good Templars and kindred societies that make and Foepative public opinion on the Tem- perance question. We can no more expect to gather figs off thistles than to expect a healthy public Temperance sentiment to exist in a community without the lodges or sucieties of active Temperance men. Look at Maine, does any one suppose that that State would ‘have stood the assaults of the sum traffic all these years if they had not their twenty-five thousand Good Templars cattered all over the State? In years gone by the I. 0. G. T, and 8, of T. had a lodge- reom in every hamlet ‘and cross road, and creaied the temperance sentiment of to-day, but for some years back their lodges have been neglected and a new race of voters is growing up that have not been educated in the lodgeroom; and can we wonder that we met with defeat and Iasgs, We must look this mattey squarely in the face, and zo back to first principles. ‘ We must look to our Order to push on our work anew, and so replenish our ranks. Other societies have grown up that divide the interest of our young people; we must meet them, and oy. and get our young men back in our ranks, and so push on work. , J

Harrowing and Rolling.

The American Agriculturist for May re- marks that, —

‘* Tn the spring when farm work presses,and we are anxious to get in the seed, there is a constant temptation to sow or plant before making the ground as fiae and mellow as our better judgment tells us is necessary. Patience is the greatest of all virtues ; bat with the farmer in the spring it must be an active ener- getic patience. After the crop isin he waits patiently. But before sowing we must be on ‘our guard against the kind of impatience that results in hasty and imperfect preparation of the land.

‘Oats can be sown on land early in the spring without much harrowing, and we pre- sume this is true of spring wheat. But barley requires the best of tilth, and the harrows must be kept at work till the surface is fine and mellow. Harrowing and rolling require more careful attention than is usually bestow- ed upon them. We do not roll to make the ‘land firm. Harrowing will make the land

firmer than it can be made, except on the sur- face, by a roller. We roll to break the lumps. The roller will not crush lumps that it cannot reach, and so we harrow to break some of the lumps and to pull the others to the surface, ‘leaving it rough, and then follow witha roller. Great improvements have been made in harrows and rollers. The work can be done ‘with far less labor than formerly, but there is still need for good judgment and for prompt- ness. A field may work well to-day, that to- morrow, after a rain, would be damaged rather than improved by the harrow or roller. And part of a field can be worked while other parts are still too wet. Weneed to have everything ready, so that not a moment may be lost when the conditions are favorable for the important work of fitting the land for the reception of the seed. And do not fail to put in the seed as soon as the land is ready for it. lt is rare that a farmer sows or plants too \early in the spring.”

Willie Anderson was a resident of Kilsyth, and was one of the thinnest men ever seen, being *‘‘a perfect rickle o’ banes.” He was ‘continually ailing, and one day the doctor visiting him, he asking where he felt the most pain, he replied : ‘ Weel doctor, l'm so thin that I dinna ken whether its a sair stom- ach or a sair back.” =e’,

Illinois Prohibitionists promise a new feat- ure in campaigning this pear. Seven or eight outfits, consisting of a tent capable of holding several hundred persns, a waggon and a team of horses, two or three good speakers and perhaps a quartette of singers will start out about June first and visit: every portion of the State. The tents will be pitched’ and meet- ings held wherever the field seems to be prom- ising. The outfits are already bought and paid for, and the persons employed in the work will be paid for their services.

What Prof. J. Stuart Blackie Says.

** Ks ist immer gut etwas en wisson,” says Goethe—‘* It is always good to know some- thing,” and if we would know it, we must see it, and be, if possible, a part of it fora season; for outside knowledge is always superficial knowledge, as if a man should conceit himself to know a house by looking at the front face of it and counting the windows as he goes along the street. Se, wishing to know something of The Salya- tion Army, and learning that.they had a regular meeting every Sunday night in the Vennel—a steep, narrow lane that goes up from the Grassmarket to Lauriston-place, in Edinburgh—I went and took part in the devotions. The barracks was in the form of a common semi-circular church, only, instead of a regular pulpit, a platform or dais, with a free range of graduated seats rising up behind, as in an amphitheatre. The service was a little disorderly, no doubt, in its aspeci,. but otherwise pretty much the same as in cur Presbyterian churches, an alteration of aymns, prayers and admonitory addresses by various per- sons, who, though they wore no official garb, were evidently accustomed to take the lead. There was a marching tramp about the hymns eminently fitted to stir the hearers to sympathetic action ; failing asleep—a condition into which piously dis- sed persons sometimes have been known to fall in the best regulated regular congre- gations— under such a sweep of harmonized emotional energy was impossible. Interruptions now and then took place, which were easily put down by a combima- tion of good humor, good sense and firm- ness on the part of the leaders.

I certainly have never witnessed in our regular church ministrations—not even in the solemn gathering of a Highland sacra- mental odcasion+a sight more sweetly human and more spiritually impressive than when the fair sergeants, or whatever the title be of the female ministers of this devout Army, came softly up to the kneel- ing converts at the base of the dais, and bending gently over them, whispered a sis- terly welcome in their ears. Surely the Spirit of God was not far from where such things were done.

1 subjoin some lines into which my thoughts shaped themselves, as | reflected hext morning on the touching spectacle L had witnessed :-—

THE SALVATION ARMY.

Strange world in sooth | wild world of joy and

sadness !

Unseasoned medley of things good and bad,

Things basely sober, and things cruelly mad,

Yet with sweet soul of method in their mad- ness !

**Salvation Army !” well, they mean to save ;

And in their own rough way they do, no doubt ;

And I would liefer fling wild words about With them, than slip through life a smooth- lipped slave Of reputable forms.

Fainting. Fainting is what results when the heart fails to send to the brain a sufficient supply of blood. A faint may be partial or com-

plete. In either case there may be a warning of what is coming, and some persons can even assume a _ favorable

posture before losing consciousness.

Most adult readers are familiar with the symptoms of a ‘faint; the face turns pale, the eyes close, consciousness is lost and the person falls. Of couree, when the heart fails to send blood to the brain, it also fails to send it to the jsurface of} the body, and hence the skin pallid, cold and perhaps clammy.

Both the breathing and the pulse may be imperceptible, and the person may seem to be really dead. In other cases, the breath may conie in occasional sighs, and a feeble action may be detected in the heart. Tais condition may continue for; hours, but it commonly lasts enly a few minutes.

Fainting is sometimes a serious affair; in- deed, at times, it ends in immediate death One cause of this more dangerous fainting is a fatty degeneration of the heart; and an- another cause is a considerable loss of blood. In any case of profuse hemorrhage, of course everything must be done to arrest the flow of blood, but meanwhile, the lower- ing of the head and shoulders below the level of tthe body will greatly facilitate a favorable result.

Back of most cases of fainting is an in- herited nervous susceptibility. Only a small proportion of persons ever faint under any circumstances. A few faint at the slightest cause —fear, joy, grief, unpleasant sights, noisome smells, heated and impure air, sudden accident, or ‘sume irritation of the stomach or other internal organs. The exciting {cause varies in different persons, and each should guard himself at his own point of exposure,

In any case of faintness every obstacle to the freest action of the heart and lungs should be removed by the loosening of the clothing. But the first thing is to get the patient into a recumbent posture—flat on the back. We know of one person subject to fainting who had learned always, at the first monition, to take this posture of her own accord, and it speedily terminated the attack. If the person is ina crowded assembly she should at once be taken into fresh air, but under no circumstances should anything be placed under her head.

The more common form of fainting does not necessarily tend to shorten life.
