Absolutely Fiendish.
| Te eeemmaneel
From the Pre sbyterian Banner
of December 30, 1896, published
- im Pittsburg, Pa., we clip the foi-
lowing given as the words of an
officer of the Liquor League of|°
Ohio ata meeting in which the
interests of the saloon business
were being discussed :
oTt will appear from these facts
gentlemen, that the success of our
obusiness is dependent largely
pon the creation of appetite for
drink. Men who drink liquor,
like others, will die, and if there
is no new appetite created, our
counters will be empty, as will be
cur coffers. Our children will go
hungry or we must chauge our
business to that of some other
~more remunerative. The open
field for the creation of this
appetite is among the, bcys. After
men are grown anu their habits
formed, they rarely ever change in
this regard. It will be needful
therefore, that missionary work
be Ouse among the boys, andi
make the suggestion, gentlemen
that nickels expended in treats
to the boys now, will return in
dollars to your tills, after theap-
| petite has been formed. Above
all things, create appetite!�
Such a statement seems abso-
lutely fiendish; and yet, whether
spoken or unspoken, the tact
remains that the traffic exists only
by recruits from among the boys.
oWanted, a hundred thousaud
boys,� must be the constant motto
. ofthis infamous business, tiat a
fsw may grow rich and their
children live in luxury while their
patrons go down to the lowest
depths of degredation and pov-
erty.
Such a frark statement ought to
arouse parents to take the proper
_ steps to protect their children

ancient winotaur of Crete who fed
on young men and maidens from
Athens was a patron saint,"Ex.
Not Reduced by the Overflow.
In apite of the devastation
+ Wrought by the overflow of the
oMississippi river there seems to
be no reason fur apprehending
auy serious reduction in the size
of this yearTs cotton crop.
As compared with the vast area
of the cotton belt the devastated
portion of the Mississippi valley
is comparatively small; and,
though the floodTs destructive
work is grievous in the extreme,
it is not of such a character as to
| periously effect the " Te-
Bult.
* Indeed the experience of past
years has been that early spring
floods instead of cutting the
' gotton crops short has frequently
- made them larger. This is due
to the fact that the floods haye

lost by planting a second crop of
cotton in the rich deposits of
sediment which the receding wa-
ters have left upon ~their farming

In view of these considerations
it is nut likely that this yearTs
cotton crop will be reduced. On
contrary, if it exceeds the size of
last yearTs ~crop there will be no
occasion for surprise. Such things
have happened before and may

A boy will tramp 47 miles in
one day on a rabbit hunt and be

ask him to go acros the street to
borrow a two inch auger, be will

course he will. And he will go
swimming all day and stay in the

dive, and the next morning he
will feel that the unmeasured in-

is told by his mother to wash his
face carefully, s0 a8 not to leaye

plain to be seen on his gills. And
he will wander about the bed of a

when his big sister wants him'to

the biggest part of a day trying to

The theatres in Japan have a
novel method of pass out tickets,
which are positively not transfer-

leave the theatre before the close
of the performance, with the in-
