temperance notes . A GOOD IL L U S TRATION. (low • Temperance Advocate ft ■ DiiUUir ni Drink. A gentleman told this story » few wirings since, to explain to his son ivluit is meant, by illustration. . The expression 't o pay a map back inhis own coin” always used to be a mystery to me when I was a boy. I ;could not understand what it meant. Not very long after 1 heard the first expression there came another, that bothered ine—“ fighting a man with his own weapons." In despair I carried the trouble to my father. He listened, and then looked, at me and smiled. Picking up the paper, lie re fid to me ns follows: "A few days, ago a famous temperance lecturer was making a hard assault on rum-drinking ifi eTneighborhood where a Dutch.distiller, named Jake Sneidcr, was a sort of king. This man was present a.ndr continually interrupted the speaking by saying in a loud voice: ‘Air.---- , money (niakes the ,mare go.’ At first this ■ iaiskl A laugh,; which Mtc. — - took in good nature. • At last he stopped lor a personal talk with hih tormentor, <and said; “ Lodk here, Mr, Sneidcr, you say. money makes the mare gp, and mean that 1 lecture on temperance,for money, don't’ you?” * ’ ;“ Yes, that’s what I mean, Mr. ~— .” “Well, Mr. SneideT'^, yap [carry on '» distillery; and yOd do; it formbney, don’t you?” “ I ’ll see what ray signature A for,” he cried, with sudden res fintion; and, grasping the pen firmly, he r m / u his name on the pledge. “ There, I ’ve done it; and, God help, lug me, I ’ll keep It," he said, solemnly. “ How as I ’ve fallen, I never broke my word yet". An hour later he entered his home with the check in one poelcet and the pledge*in the other. The check war« proof to the poor wife, of his intention to keep the pledge, for she knew it must have been hard work to csvue home sober with money in his pocket. Need 1 tell you that the signature on the pledge was never dishonored? It meant a happy- home, new hope for' the despairing wife, respect, prosperity and God’s blessing. . ■ ' , And Hugh! He felt as if he had done the grandest temperance work of his life, though be lived to be a successful temperance worker, when he persuad­ ed old Tom to sign that check.—Sun­ day-School Times. ■ DR INKING RULES/ .■r Mr. money ‘To -bo sure I _do, makes the mare'gd” "And so. Mr, tjneider, yon Bay that I have a mare and you have a mare also; suppose we trot them out together* and see how they compare?" ' The meeting was held in a grove, and the sharp lecturer knew a thing or two. and so the old distiller found out; for Mr. — pointed to a young fellow . who was quite drunk, and was steady­ ing himself by a tree, and- said: “ Mr. . Sneider, who is that yonng fellow?” The distiller startedas if stung, as he answered: “ That is. my son.” “ Your son,. is he, Mr. Sneider? He has been riding yonr mare, and got thrown, hasn’t he? And.who' is that young fellow sitting so drunk on that log out there?” The distiller uttered an exclamation of real pain as he said: “ That is my son, too,” “He is, is he?” said Mr . — “ I guess he has been riding year mare also, and she has kicked up and thrown himover her, hasn't she? Your mare must be a vicious, dangerbusjbrute, isn’t she.Mr.-Sneider?’.’ The distiller ceuld not stand it any longer* but said: “ Hook here, Mr. — , I won’t say another word if yon, w ill let me oft.” •• Jack Sneider’a mare is a very dan­ gerous beast * 8ha steps olf very gayly . at first; hut she is aute to kick up ho- - fore you. are through with her. The man who starts obt on. that bcast is pretty sure to come home on foot, if be comes home at all, tvhlch is by no means ' certain. Don't ride ' Jake Sneider’a mare* When, the reading , was finished; '.^father turned to me add asked: “Con *^yon understand now* my hoy* what rthose two sayings mean?” Sodeeply did kthe illustration affett toe that 1hive' ^always remembered it.-Wsund&y After-* inoon. TWO CHECKS. How Old Tent Gave tils signature, and . . Honored It. “I ’ll fill out this cheek for you, Tom, if you will waifrAhiofaent. it is signed, sod father told me to fill itVmtfor the amount if ho wasn’t here. Two and a half, isn’t It?” Old Tom took upthe Check in his trembling fingers,' and looked’ at the straight, business-like signature. “ Just to think that his name is good for thousands of dollars,” he muttered, half to himself and half to the bright­ faced boy who stood beside the desk with his pen In hip hand, ready to fill out the ch«k. “ Afid vet when we Were bovs together 1was as good ashe Was, any day, and my chances in life were just as good. It’s drink that has made til the difference. Well, it’s too late to help it now.” * "No, it isn’t too late, Tom,” cried HughEvans, earnestly. He knew the sad story o f this man’s gradual descent froman honorable, respected*life to the level of a common drunkard, and he felt an impetuous desire to itelp him, boy though he wa& “ I heard father Isay only to-day that if you would sign the pledge he would trust you to keep it, and lie would give you steady Work and good pay.** HoSlgn it, Torn. 1have a blank one herC. I t will wake «»eh a difference, not only to you, but toyonr wife and children, if you will.” A gleam of hope lighted up the dim eyes* but it tiled ont in an instant, and Tomshook his head. “Some otherday, llogh. Borne other day. ' 1must treat my friends for the lasttime, and I’ll have a little money to-night, yon see, when yoit give me that check. Some day 1will* bnt not JgQy^♦* l-’ ’ “W t put off, Torn,” pleaded Hugh. Pitting the pledge before the man and #mng him the pen, “ Why. don’t you **Wit’s as good as a check!

Here 'are the old Dutch rules for drinking; . , ■’ Offer your friends before going to' table a glass of red wine, as that is good for the digestion and is a pleas­ ant way of welcoming them.- With the first glass the host, must /wish-‘his .guests an appetizing.meal His friends mpst answer '.with A glass and wish the same to each other also.* I f the company consists .of only ten or twelve people, one cati drink their health in turn, but it is useless to dp it all at oqcq, as all may not have snen thirst at [the'same. time. When you wish to drink, ask for a glass of ivlne Of' the man or the maid who is serv­ ing,. ■ I f the company is large and there arp perhaps thirty at table, it would be useless to drink everyone’s health sep­ arately, as one would then take more wine than one cares to drink. If you please you may include-two, four or six' in one salutation of your glass, beginning with those furthest off and then continuing, first on the right and then on[the le ft The dispute still exists as to the pro­ priety of kissing the lady who sits next you as you drink her health, or thank­ ing her with a kiss when she drinks y6nrs. Still more unmannerly, is it to leave your chair to .kiss the young ladies who Bit at a distance from you. It is not proper to kiss a lady without washing your lips, and besides it creates confusion at table. I t isndt well to. insist on anyone’s finishing his glass each time, as that would do aWay with the freedom of your guests, but it is quite proper to ask the lady next you if you may fill her glasss from time to time.—Scrib­ ner’s. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .

In Saxony the consumption o f spirits lias somewhat diminished, bnt the diminu­ tion is more than made up by the drink­ ing of beer. S ince the English syndicates took bold of Chicago’s breweries the price has been cut by outside competition from eight dollars to five dollars a bar­ rel, tyhich wilt enable the saloon keep­ ers to soil at three cents a glass instead ef five cents.

Even moderate quantities of alcohol have some in* fluencc in irritating the kidneys. Tnn drink curse has a long history. In 1703 Dr. Henson, then bishop of Gloucester, complained that the Eng­ lish people lmd become “ what they never were before, criiel and inhuman. Those accursed spirituous liquors have changed the very nature of dur peo­ ple," The 'terrible indictment by John Wesley of those who manufacture and sell strong drink still holds true: “ They murder British subjects by wholesale; neither -does their eye pity or spare; they drive them to hell like sheep!''

The February Wide Awake Corneapromptly to handwith an exceed* ingly varied andentertaininglist of con­ tents. We wonder if the parents of out boysandgirls really know what an ex­ cellent and absorbing story Mrs, Mary McIntosh Cox ia giving tw in her serial “ Jack Brereton’s Three Monlha’ Serv­ ice?” While theyoungpeople readit with growing interest and imbibe lessons in honor, manliness and devotion to duty fromits stirring incidents, notone of the alder generation bnt can live again the dramatic scenes of 1801 which it por­ trays, when homes were rent and anx­ ious hearts were over-strained. The story appeals to all. So, too, though in a different way, does the Arabian.stoiy of pluckand endurance, “ The Hance of Kanana,” thrill ita readers month by month. The camel race over the desert described in the February number is fullof a force andfire thatstirs the blood of every reader. Among the important, contributions to the February W id e A w a k e is the last story, “ The Sign of the Prophet Jonah,” ever; written by Eliot McCormick, one of New York’* promising newspaper men, untimely cutoff by death, scarcely six months since. Mrs. Harriet Maxwell-Converse has another of her interesting Indian articles “ With Seventy Chiefs at Ohswekan;” Mrs. Maud Howe El­ liott talks delightfully about “ Some Horses* that I have known;” Mrs* Jane G. Austin gives the charm­ ing story o f “ Horn i Stsudlsh’s Sampler,” o f which aU readers o f “ Standish of Standlsh” and “ Betty A1-, den” will be gladto knowmore. Lovers of adventure will enjoy Lieut. Col. Thorndike's thrilling experience “ In the Straits of Cape Horn;” Harriet Pickney Huso’s sketch of a storm “ On a Florida Reef,” and Henry Cleveland Wood’s Kentucky pionee’r story “ Un­ der Fire.” Dorothy Holcomb’s “ Write inga-down" about “ The Night of the Fire” w ill raise the ,. ready smile. “ The First Steamboat” and “ A Pet Seal” are short instructive papers, and the department “ Men and Things” is fo il of readable'items. The poetry of the number is excellent. The pic­ tures in the number are illustrative and characteristic, and the feeling that the children of this generation who have the possibilities of regularly reading so helpful and elevating a magazine as W id e A w a k e are blessed indeed, is em­ phasized again by a perusal o f the Feb­ ruary issue.
