“I’LLTA KE THE SAME”
ONE OF ARTHUR IRVING CLYMER'*
SERMONS ON DRINKING.

I believe that three-fot hs of all tha
trouble that liquor make' cornea of
treating.
If it were not the fas! Leu to treat,
there would probably not lie nv re than
eue or two bars where now are flye.
And the good money that goea now
for treating would go then for better
things to eat and wear and books and
papers, and deeds for homes, and ean-
eeled mortgages—and more happiness.
And millions into savings banks.
Children now getting their education
in the streets could go to school, and
wives could have decent clothes, so
they would not ba ashamed to go to
church.
All this dues not apply to yoa ? T.ry
possibly—I sincerely hope so.
But do you treat? You see, I am
thinking about your brother, who after a
(lass or two may not have the firmness
to call a halt, as yon do.
What, with him. may be the result
of a ten years’ exchange of liquid cour
tesies? You may come out apparently
■one the worse (I say nothing about
your children, to whom you may have
communicated a taste for spirituous
liquors), but how about your brother?
Do you see whore your big heart, your
ready dollars, your mistaken kindness,
may have put him, in his weakness?
And do you realize that upon your
shoulders rests a part of the responsibil
ity for his loss of character and self
respect, his neglect of wife and children
and business and body and soul?
There arc men to whom this sermon
ten years ago would not have applied
any more than it docs to you today.
But now I Where are some of them?
You kuow you can pick them out.
Some broken in body, mind and
pocket book—some banging around tbs
bars, or on tho streets, or looking in
▼ain for places—some in their graves.
And they were once promising young
men—business men, clerks, commercial
travelers, lawyers, officials, men of
brightest minds and finest prospects.
Done for!
Men's mistaken kindness and their
own ever increasing appetites betrayed
them.
How much less many a man would
drink with only the barkeeper for com
pany. It would be too slow to bo endur
able and the liquor would tast^ flat.
It isn't always a craving for liquor
that takes a man into a saloon.
Ho is sure to find some of the boys
there.
If ho were to know they wonld not
l>e there he wouldn’t go himself—not
nearly so often at least.
A desire for congenial company, some
relief from the tedium of business, “a
change of scene, ’ ’ are the causes that
often lead men aud boys to the wrong
place.
Ten thousand times better the public
library,tho reading room and gymnasium
of tho Y. M. C. A., or Just out into
God’s sunshine for a little while.
Are the parks too far away? A wheel
will take you there.
I say it seriously—a bicycle may eas
ily be your moans of salvation.
Bicycle riding will wake yon up,
brace you up, limber your joints and do
you more good than coffin varnish.
It isn’t the kind of “braciugup” that
tears yon down, make., you nervous,
restless, craving, cuts short yo’ir life!
Give the wheel a chance—give your
self a chance.
(And then incidentally yon won’t be
getting your weaker brother into trouble
by tioating him—or mistreating him—
and placing him under obligations to
spend on you the wages that you know
his wife should have.)
I repeat, there are plenty of men,
who, with only tho “barkeep” for com
pany, would drift away from tho saloon
almost as naturally as they drifted to it
in tho company of their friends—that
is, those on whom the venomous appe
tite for liquor had not fixed its fungs!
For them but little hope. Some, but
not much. When a man has uncon
sciously or consciously grown to be a
hard drinker, ho may still quit—possi
bly. But by that time ho either doesn’t
w r ant to quit or ho doesn't try to quit.
He doesn’t quit, 000 cases out of 1,000
—that’s tho sad fact.
Nothing less than a bichloride of gold
making over will ever help him.
A man whoso body and mind are
crippled by drink cannot successfully
fight whisky.
It is strong, cunning, devilishly per
suasive, commanding I
It is bound to come out of this un
equal match on top unless the man has
a will power out of a thousand.
Now, think of these things, these
fearful possibilities, tho very next time
you start out to take a drink, and thou
—don’t!
Stir up your conscience!
Think of that weaker brother, aud of
what you may be doing for him, to say
nothing of yourself.
Don’t help put him on the road te
the devil.
Hunt him np and take him to a bet
ter place. Do that for him—bring out
the beet manhood there is in you.
You have seen liquid poison dealt out
to bright, promising boys, and you have
not been moved.
Are you a father? It would have
turned your hair gray aud broken your
heart if one of those boys had been
your dear sou, your own brother or the
husband of our darling child!
Then, by nil your hopo of mercy oa
tho last day, don't put liquor to your
brother’s

TROLLEY DEATHS.
A tltdical View of the Mortality From
Klrrtric Line* and Ollier Caune*.
Chicago has been called the "most
blood guilty city on earth,” because of
the gn at uumber of lives annually lost
through railroad accidents. The Chi
sago commissioner of health reports, iu
18V4, 804 deaths from this cause, aud
ke blames the "gradecrossings” for the
mortality. Iu Philadelphia the num
ber of deaths from railroad accidents
recorded by the coroner in tho year 1894
Was SuC; in 1898 it was 216, aud in
1892, 208. For tho six mouths ending
July 1, 1895, 106 cases are reported.
In Chicago nearly 50 additional fatal
railroad accidents were not recorded as
such, but were returned to the board of
EXCISE QUESTION.
REV. MADISON C. PETERS’ VIEWS C>»
SUNDAY LAWS.
Local Option, Me Thinks, Would SoItc th*
Problem—CV*l*tlan* to a Man Will Figtit
the Rom Po.yor—The Party That Favor*
Vnnday OpeMag Will Commit Suicide.
Sunday, Sepi. 15, found Madison C.
Peters in his New York pulpit. Tho
Sunday excise question has been the all
absorbing theme. This is what Dr. Pe
ters had to say, among other things:
I believe local option is tho solution
of this Sunday excise matter. But let us
have local option by wards, not as a
whole city. The voters of the slum dis-

tricts who would vota unanimously for
health under the head of "fracture of Sunday opening are poor specimens to
♦he spine,” "surgical shock,” etc. determino a question of home rule.
Of the 354 fatal accidents occurring if a man sells liquor on Sundays
in Chicago about 45 were from street
cars and tho balance from steam rail
roads. Of the CW} deaths in Philadel
phia in 1894 67 were from street cars;
aud for tho six ivouths of 1895 55
deaths on tho coroner’s books are
charged to the street railways, includ
ing the trolleys. Man? of the cases in
vestigated by the core ir occur among
tho employees of the mad and are in
cluded iu these statis ics. The city of
Brooklyn has but 70 deaths from rail
road accidents recorded on its coroner's
books for the year 1894, and yet during
the late railroad strike in that city its
surface trolley companies were accused
of great recklessness and gross disregard
for human life, and tho coroner's clerk
in a letter to us has limited his figures
to the records in his office.
Chicago has 8,000 streets crossed at
grade by steam cars. In Philadelphia
we have not quite so many grade cross
ings, and yet several hundred more than
we ought to have. Tho trolleys have
added a considerable number of deaths
to tho mortality list, but tho grade
crossings continue to furnish the greater
number. While tho trolley is deadly on
the one hand, it is on tho other hand a
therapeutic agency of no little value,
and must exercise a beneficial influence
upon the life and health of the com
munity. What was formerly only pos
sible to the wealthy—namely, a ride
into the country—can now be indulged
in by the poorest inhabitant, and what
can be more health giving, after the
hard work of a hot day, than a long ride
iu an open car out into tho surrounding
country? The young people have trolley
excursions instead of dancing parties
Tho children of the poor districts are
taken on an airing instead of sweltering
in hot rooms, and thousands are benefit
ed that never were before.
While ws bemoan every unnecessary
death, and believe that every precau
tion should be taken by the railroad
companies to prevent accidents, yet we
feel that tho newspapers are more in
terested in tho sensation created by
their records of trolley deaths than in
the real welfare of tho people. If they
would iw faithfully and as graphically
record each death from diphtheria, or
typhoid fever, or tuberculosis, deaths as
clearly preventable as trolley deaths,
and due largely to neglect on the part
of both the individual and the com
munity, they would do a good that
would be w ider reaching and that would
aid in materially lessening tho mortal
ity rate of our city.—Medical News.
N*w Florida Canal.
One of the greatest projects ever At
tempt! d in tliis state is tho reclaiming
of 10,000 acres of land by the Meadow
Land improvement company. The land
which this company is reclaiming is a
cypress pond near Orange lake, between
Cilia aud Spa its, near the Alachua coun
ty line. The land is to bo reclaimed by
digging a canal 15 feet to 30 feet deep
and 60 to 80 feet wide at the top. The
eanal will run from tho pond to the
Ocklawnhn river, a distance of nine
miles. The completion of the company’s
eanal system from the Florida Central
and Peninsular railroad on the west
through the tract, a distance of 11 miles,
to tho famed Ocklawaha river on the
east, will give a water route via canal,
Ocklawaha and St. Johns rivers (regu

ers ply these great inland waterways?
to the Atlantic seaboard. This will in
sure a competitive route aud correspond
ing low freightage for marketing crops.
Tho canal will be free to settlers.—

A Conditional Gift Deetlnod.
The Episcopal diocese of Milwaukee
has refused a g*ft of 0, C0C Bmliup
Nicholson has formally notified Francis
Keene that it is impossible for the Epis
copal diocese to accept tho offer of the
Keene homestead for hospital purposes.
Tho action of tho bishop was on the ad
vice of the diocesan hospital committee.
Though the committee has not given np
hopo of ultimately securing a hospital
for tho Episcopal church in Milwaukee,
the prospects at present ore anything but
bright. It would not accept the gift be-
eau-e of tho condition that the hospital
should always bo known as the Keeue
hospital.—Chicago Tribune.
Illuminated Life Preservers.
The steamer Katahdin carries a new
life buoy, the invention of Chief Con
structor Hic’-born, aud it is attracting
| much attention. It consist* of a copper
cylinder bout into u circle, and from the
sides depend two cylinders containing a
chemical compound which as soon as
tho life preserver is thrown into the wa
ter gives forth a light—the result of
chemical combination. This light not
only enables one straggling in the water
to Hud the buoy thrown to him, hut en
ables his shipmates to find him after he
has reached tho buoy, should ho go over

clandestinely and feels that the judg
ment of the law condemns him, a high
moral end is gained. To legalize Sunday
liquor selling would make it respectable.
Tho saloon stands today an acknowl
edged law defying, disorder producing,
crime breeding power, aud there are
thousands of good citizens who are not
temperance men who will not allow the
saloons further freedom, and tho Chris
tian people will to a man desperately re
sist Sunday saloons, and if wo are whip
ped we will continue the fight with all
our might, day and night, and arouse a
public sentiment that will slay and bury
the liquor traffic with its fpce down
ward, as tho Welshwoman proposed to
bury the devil, so that, if It should
chance to come to life again aud try to
scratch its way out, it would only bury
itself the deeper.
The party that will dare to *urreuder
our Sabbath to America’* political dic
tator, tho saloon, w'ill commit political
suicide at the next election.
This war npon oar Sabbath is a for
eign war. If foreigners will not assimi
late with ns as American citizens, if
they do not admire our Sabbath and
Christian institutions, if they want so
cial incendiarism aud sabbatic disorder
—a go as you please Sabbath—they are
welcome to enjoy it by recrossing the
Atlantic! But if they stay here we de
mand the enforcement of that central
truth of statecraft—the liberty of the
individual subject to the sovereignty of
tho state—the subordination of individ
ual rights and privilege* to tho general
good. These are integral element* lu a
stable national life.
Bartholdi’s statue of Liberty on Bed-
loe’s island, holding in her right hand
a torch, should hold in her left hand a
volume containing the laws and customs
of the land, aud before tho right hand
bo extended iu welcome require, upon
bended knee, the left hand to bo kissed
as a token of submission to our laws,
customs and institntions.
It is a war upon our political institu
tions. In countries where the Sabbath is
most profaned, like Spain, France,
Itaiy, Bavaria, society is grossly im
moral. In .Sabbath observing England,
Scotland and America society is found
in its highest moral tone. Pick out the
hamlets or cities, or wards of cities,
where are the lowest moral conditions,
and there, just in proportion, is the
Sabbath desecrated. An eminent judge
of the United States supremo court forci
bly said, "Where there is no Christian
Sabbath there is no Christian morality,
and without this free government can
not bo maintained. ” Blackstone says,
"The Sabbath is of admirable service to
the state, considered merely as a civil
institution. ”
Some years ago De Toequeville, the
distinguished French statesman, was
commissioned by his country for the
purpose of studying the genius of our
institutions. In reporting to the French
senate ho said: "I went at your bidding
and passed along their thoroughfares of
trade. I ascended their mountains and
went down their valleys. I visited their
manufactories, their commercial mar
kets and emporiums of trade. I entered
their judicial courts and legislative
halls. But I sought everywhere in vain
for their secrets of success until I enter
ed the church. It was there, as I listen
ed to tho soul equalizing and soul ele
vating principles of the gospel of Christ
as they fell from Sabbath to Sabbath
upon tho masses of the people, that I
learned why America was great and
free, and why Franco was a slave.”
In tho dark days of tho French revo-
lution, "tho shabbiest page of human
annals," as Carlyle calls it, the Sabbath
was trampled in the dust, and a tenth
day of rest was substituted without di
vine sanction, and so frightful did soci
ety become that the iufidcl authorities
had to institute tho divine Sabbath and
public worship to save the metropolis
and the kingdom from utter desolation.
Franco is yot reaping the sad fruitage
of her folly, and she will never have a
permanent republic until she quit* her
roaring, roistering and rollicking Sab
baths and devote* one day in every
week to tho recognition of God. I be
lieve that tho security or disaster of
American institutions depend* upon the
issue of the Sabbath contest.
Tho end of the Sabbath would be for
the United States the beginning of the
reign of Mammon, Bacchus aud Venus,
and finally overwhelm us in temporal
and eternal rain. From inch a fate may
the God of Lexington and Gettysburg
deliver ns!
Michigan PriHonrr* Kcc)! Them For Com
fort ami liaise Tlimi For Profit.
Convicts in the Michigan state prison
have many more favors than those of
■almost any other penitentiary iu the
United States, and it is tho belief of the
management of the institution that for
this reason tin re are fewer outbreaks of
lawlessness than are found elsewhere.
Among tho favors granted to them here
is that of keeping and caring for birds.
There are fully COO feathered songsters
in Michigan’s principal penal institu
tion, all owned and cared for by tho
convicts, aud as soon as daylight ap
proaches on bright mornings their sweet
notes are heard in striking contrast to
the natural feelings of their owners.
Many of tho most hardened criminals,
who from their general appearance and
history would not bo expected to care
for anything of a refining nature, ten
derly care for and caress their little pets.
More than three-quarters of the cells
iu tho prison contain one or more ca
naries, and they are also found in vari
ous shops throughout the institution.
During tho day the cages are hung out
side the cells to give the birds light and
air, but as soon as tho convict returns
from work at night the cage is taken
inside.
This practice has been carried on in
tho prison for years, and tho officials
say that instead of any detrimental ef
fect being noticeable the little songsters
have proved a benefit, as they not only
give tho cells a more homelike appear
ance, but they also wield a decided in
fluence in the way of humanizing the
most reckless and hardened criminal.
Besides being permittet to keep the
birds for tho sake of their company and
influence, the convicts are also allowed
to raise them to sell, and many a dollar
is credited to the accounts of the prison
ers from this source. Of course tho con
vict handles none of tho money real
ized from the sale of tho birds until lie
is discharged, but it is placed to his
credit iu the prison bank.
It is interesting to walk up and down
tho prison corridors and note tho differ
ent kinds of canaries iu the cages, and
more particularly to note tho different
methods adopted by the convicts iu car
ing for their pets.
All styles of cages are to bo seen, and
while one bird is provided with a veri
table palace of a home and all the luxu
ries known in the bird world tho one
in front of the next cell will have sim
ply tho plainest wood or wire cage and
only the ordinary seed and water hold
ers. This is also true in the shops, and
the character of tho convict can in al
most every instance bo safely estimated
by the care he gives his feathered
friends.
Through the day tho music of tho
birds is hardly noticeable, although it
can ho heard more or less at almost any
time, but on a bright morning the song
aters are pleasingly noisy. One of the
officials who has been connected with
tlie prison for years says that when ho
first came to the prison the music of the
birds in the morning made him wild,
but he has now become so accustomed
to it that the place would bo terribly
silent without it.—Jackson (Mich, j

, prove helpful to many:
Seed beds should be raised a few

i tween three and four feet above the lyd.

i Tho whole range of vegetables, ex-
| cept melons, eggplant, pom beau.', coin
j and pumpkin can be planted in the fall
; garden in Florida. As to asparagus, if
i seed is to be planted, it is to he done
; during September or October. If routs
are to be used, which is advisable in
small areas, plant about Nov. 1. Wo
advise tho use of the Palmetto variety.
Any variety of bush beans can bo'suc
cessfully grown in almo.-t any part of
Florida and the southern portion of tiy
gulf states, if planted by Sept. 15.
Sow in drills two inches deep and four
to six inches apart in the drill, varying
in accordance with the robustness of tho
variety planted. When about to bloom,
draw tho earth well up around tho

Sow beets in drills closely and thin
out to six inches apart when well
grown. Good germinations of beet seed
are seldom obtained during tho hot

able to leave this crop go until October.
A good crop of cucumbers can bo

An « nterprising young man, who is
part owner iu a boathouse down tho
liver, claims to have discovered some
thing that will be of inestimable value
to mankind if experience proves its
worth. The inhabitants of this down
the river boathouse were nearly torn to
pieces by mosquitoes every time they at
tempted to sleep in tho house at night.
Screens seemed to he of no avail, and
it looked at one time as if the house
would have to be abandoned. Finally
an old lady who lived in tho neighbor
hood told them that she had not been
troubled by mosquitoes for several
years.
Her remedy was astonishingly simple.
She discarded all screens, and threw tho
windows wido open at night. Across
tho open paeo of the window she
stretched a piece of red ribbon about
two inches wide. “A mosquito,” said
she, "cannot be induced to pass that
ribbon. Why it is so I do not know, hut
I know the natives of India take this
means of hafiling the vicious mosquito.
It works to perfection hero also." The
you::g man followed instructions, and
now declares that there has not been a
moi quito in the boathouse since tho rib
bon was stretched across the doors aud
windows. —Philadelphia Record.

best to make tho library a perfect sepul

men were previously accommodated,
there will soon be room for ton, and tho

books will be also carefully looked aft
er. In short, Harvard is at lust to have
