"Look not thou upon the wine when it is red" (v. 31.) Do not waste one glance upon it. .Do not put yourself in the way of temptation. Turn from it as positively as the little girl, out driving with Miss Willard, who said, "Wicked old saloon, Pl try not even to look at the barrels." A person who folâ€" lows his Bible will be a total abstainer. "Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith," is the remedy for every ill (Heb, 12; 2.)

"Thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast" (v. 34.) A seaman wide awake does not find it easy to hold on to the masthead in a gale; but to attempt to sleep there is sure suicide. Many a oung man has put himself under the .de{u-ive sorcery of strong drink, dreaming that he could take it or let it alone as he chose, only to be awiftly hurled into the drunkard‘s hell. 5.

This has long been recognized by Arctic explorers, sportsâ€" men and those engaged in endurance feats. A brief spurt may be made by one wnder the influence of liqnor, but he is sure to fall far behind at the finâ€" ish. Fatigue is caused by the accumuâ€" lation of waste in the blood more rapidly than it can be sent out of the system. Alecho) hastens fatigue by clogging the bloocd with poisonous matter. _ Practiâ€" cally all athletes abstain from drink, at least during training. When the Great Western Railway Company had its gauge narsowed the men were worked sevenâ€" teen and cighteen hours a day. Five thousand men were employed, who finâ€" ished the huge task in thirtyâ€"one hours. Not a drop of aleohol was aHowed, but the men were supplied frfig Qvith oatâ€" meal and water. Enduran 2 sests have been made with abstaining "and nonâ€"abâ€" staining soldiers and workmen as well as with men who tested their strength with instruments of precision, always with the same result.â€"â€"B. L. 0. Temperance Instructionâ€"The last few years nvc witnessed great advances in the knowledge of the effects of alcohol upon the human body. Extensive scienâ€" tific experiments have been made by specialists, notably by Professor Kraeâ€" pelin, of Heidelberg, Germany, showâ€" ing conclusively the vitiating effects of aleohol upon the special senses, the muscles, the powers of endurance, and the ability to resist disease. Kraepelin made over two thousand experiments to determine the effects of alcohol upon the senses. He found that letters which could be read with a normal vision at a distance of thirty feet had to _ be brought ten feet nearer to be distinâ€" guished half an hour after the subject had taken an ounce of alcohol. The efâ€" feet on colors was equally marked. They were cither obscured or lost altogether. This is one chief reason why railrond engineers must be free from alcohol. If they are not, it greatly reduces their ability to discriminate between colored signals. The effect of liquor on hearing was even more noticeable. A watch tick, ordinarily heard distinctly at a distance of thirty or forty inches, was percepâ€" tible only when within ten or fifteen inches after one ounce of alcohol was cousumed. The sensation of taste was changed. Bitters, salts or acids mixed with other substances could not be deâ€" tecied until increased from a third to a half beyond the proportion easily disâ€" tinguished by m normal person. _ The power to discriminate odors was weakâ€" ened, and the sense of touch greatly diminished. Kraepelin also found that small quantities of aleohol weakened muscular power and activity, rows Mamiltonâ€"Business _ here continues quiet in nearly all lines.

Mr. Marriman in his statement merely «aid that he knew that sooner or later the heavy burden of responsibility that has rested upon his shoulders would have to be shifted to younger ones, _ § NoT TO RETIRE JUST YET. Los Angeles, Cal., March 22.â€"The statement atitributed to E. H. Harriman at Pasadena last night regarding the present state of his health and the posâ€" sibility of his retivement from active life appears to have been somewhat at variance with the intended meaning of Mr. Harriman‘s remarks on the subject. "Railroad rates were never in a more stabie condition than they are now," he said; "capital should be devoted to development instead of waste, and this is possible only when competition is climinated." ‘"The former president was not altoâ€" gether to blame," said Mr, Harriman, "although he went too far. The panic would not have resulted if Roosevelt had not carried on his prosecution of the cases against the railroads with such vigor."

These words were used by E. H.
