temperance notes . SAM 'S POOR LOT . H, Very Effective Ttiaptilrauw AUdree* by • New York New.boy. I uiHilo a-great mistake tho first day j met Sam, Jhq newsboy, lie Is a tfwed'Off, chunky .chap twelve' years old, but doesn't look over bine, lie is » very dignified and solemn-looking toy, and I never yet saw anything ap­ proaching a smile on his face. The mistake 1 made, was in winking a t gam and playfully poking him in the ribs, ns any man has a right to do by any boy. He stepped hack a pace, looked ,mo up »ud down in the most cold-blooded manner,1 and quietly ob­ served: i ■ **Sir! If you have any business with > me please state your case!" I went among the boys and asked about Sam, and I learned tha t he treated everybody th a t way. lie had no.chums, spent.no money, and no one knew anything about him except that he had to be carefully handled. Then I went back and made up with- him-*- that is. 1excused my hilarious conduct, stood treat to a milk-shake and so thawed him out that we now and then had a talk about the .weather, the crops, and the outlook of matters in general, I just happened to blunder on to bis living place in Baxter street the other evening as I was prowling around. I • Saw him down in a basement, and when I had called t.o him he invited me down. ' •: > It was a two-room habitation and a most wretched, -woebegone home. Sam’s father was lying drunk on the iloor and his mother reclined on an old mattress,in a corner and muttered and mumbled and tried to sing, now and then. “Home, Sweet Home!” quietly ob­ served Sam. “Take off your overcoat and have a chair. Glad to see you down this way. ” ■‘And so this is where you live?" “Yes. Elegant sta rt on the road to success, isn’t it? . Lots of things to en­ courage a boy to .make a man of him­ self!” : “Is that your father and mother?” “Of course.” 'i “Sham! $hata! WhoZe that, Sham?” called the mother. , “Now, you Irtish}” he replied, as he pointed a t her. ,“1 want you to keep quiet and go to sleepl” ‘ . “All rize, Sh4m~aH ifize!” she re­ plied, as she f?ll hack on. the bdd- “Drunk, of tje f a ^ " aalcl tb eb o y ,a s Hooked frorn faHiegr t« mother^ “It’s this way about fewr flights In the.Week.

The end will come in a year p r two more. The city will bury them and ril.only have myself to look after.” ^That’S a tough thing to.loolc for­ ward to.” “Well, what can you do? There is only one end to a drunkard’s life. He himself knows that,” “Sham! Sham! I want’er sbing a shong!” called tlie mother. “Whoozer callin’ Sham?” asked the* father, as he tried to get up. Sam and I looked a t each other, and, he held out his hand as I opened the door. • Words would have been wasted. Queer boy, that Sam, but I think a great deal of him. —M. Quod, in N. Y.

Drunkenness is both a sin and a dis­ ease. I t is a sin, to commence with. and1*after having ipaksed tbifoiigh ltii first stages'^d'fis^hed.!iUM(IEft^|qQ^y, upon its victim, it becomes both a sin nnd a disease. Alcohol is a distinct and certain poison; l so declared by many leading physicians and sciaritiato.

Drunkenness domjja from [drinking, and the drpnk- nrd always ‘ commences as a moderate drinker. Drunkenness is to be treated both as a sin and as a disease. The grace of God can save any drunkard from lila sln^even to the “uttermost,” and imilliti5aes nSvo thus been saved.

KaoMMth Animals Which i m Rapidly Going Out of Existence. Writers of a century or more ago were accustomed frequently to speak of the “sea horse” and “sea cow.” By the first name they, referred to the wal­ rus, which is one of the most interest­ ing of antmals, simply for the rejuon that it Is among the most useful. There la a serious prospect that before many yearn have passed the species will be altogether exterminated, and this will be extremely unfortunate, inasmuch as the people who Uve in Arctic regions depend upon it to a great extent for their own survival. The walrus has been called the camel of the Esquimau. To th a t race this creature is as impor­ tan t and even essential as the ship of the desert is to the Arab, or the cocoa palm, to quote a vegetable simile, to the South Sea Islanders. Its flesh is of use for food, its oil tor warming and illuminating pur­ poses, and its tough skin, stretched over wooden frames, for making canoes. But these are only a few of the uses to which the walrus Is p u t Its intestines supply an admirable water-proof clothing1, the soles of the flippers made into footgear and the sinews arfa employed in the manufacture of nets wherewith to cap­ ture birds.. The ivory of the tusks is of excellent quality; it is of endless utility fo r domestic purposes and is always of service as a medium of barter with traders for aU the products of civiliza­ tion which may he required by these savages of the North. So indispensable is this beast that ,walrus famines are recorded In pathetic legends by all the savage settlements of the ' Arctic. Whole colonies of Esquimaux have per­ ished from time to time through an un­ usual Bcarcityof walrus a t the season when they were to bp expected. At present their whiskers are an import­ ant article of commerce, being used by the Chinese ns picks for opium pipea.— Washington Star. —“-Mamma, I want some water in a bowl.

The general impulse to bestow praise and the discrimination which elone gives praise and value, ore not very often found in conjunction. The man who unites these traits is a true bene­ factor and inspirer of his fellows. The general habit is to be niggardly of com mendation. We seen to be afraid that if we tell people they have done, well they will never do any better. Adverse criticism is considered wholesome. To feel always .that more is expected of him is the spur that every man is sup­ pose to need. But to express satisfaction, even when performance warrants it, is, te say the least, of doubtful expediency, i f not positively mischievous.
