 femv^ranee Problem. BYPEB, M. P., TORONTO. a legal moasore The Scott Act M^pressiouof mtemprane has â- 'â- ' Wore the public for some years, 'f .«t persons are supposed to *^^ tome somewhat familiar with ,;;;^-5^s «n.i with the object of :;;,ntemperance a3_an evU isa other in advocates look second gtt BlfBiite Ifttt itrSBSUbifk^jaiia this aagmentod Tit»l«rtio|» hag been wroneooslysappoeed to be a result denyed from the alcohol, while teidiT Its presence taooMM the ntal intS/. ence and foreas fiw the pnrpeje of driTinj? the ofFensiTe rabstance to the deporaling organs for expnlnon.

Oppo tiog that they and their being ruthlessiy trampled upon by 056 who are strivmg to surpress the ' }n one respect all are agreedâ€" that rjukness is a shame and a sin to .^e individual. While some pity its utims, others denounce them as in- iimpetenti, and urgfr that they do V j: deserve either sympathy or assist jjjce. These sentiments in their nainerable vanations find expres- sions in the community in the variou* phases of temperance workers, church ajmbers, legislators, and administra- tors of the law. The reason of this Ludley of ideas which combined, coDititute puhlic opinion, is that each ae looks at the problem from a diflfer- Ut stand point, and under different L^reeg of intelligence, prejudice, and â- uorance of the facts as they exiet ° the ordering of a kind Providence. may safely be assumed that each individual is accorded the privilage l(,; free agency, and is certainly held a jtrict accountability for whatever nseqiiences follow the choice made tlcciding upon the course he shall ::;siie. While each one may be ^p;:\.ximately near or distant from tiiTiil stauilanl cf truth, God has ;;.Mi3heil biii'h a standard, and is .htiiis: thiit all who do not come to energy. Illness is really caused by a depletion of the ssme yital ener^ which its presence still further ex- hausts in expelling it. Its exhibition in cases' of indisposition is equivalent to putting the hand stealthily into a man's pocket and extracting his cash when he is gieatly in need of more to meet his recurruag habilities. It is equivalent to making the poor com- fortable by plundering them of what I little they already possess. The Temperance Liberal Union, lately establisned in Toronto by Prof! Goldwin Smith and his coadjutors, ia discussing the question at a series of pubUo meetings now being held in different parts of the Province. If the reports are to be credited their losjic is tolerable but their premises are wholly at variance with the truth, and hence they are led to wrong con- clusions. A successful defence of the use of alcohol under the light of our present scientific attainments is im- pottsible, if reference is had eo facts that are well-known to such as take the trouble to keep themselves posted as to the latest seientific discoveries. The advocacy of the use of right wines, lager, beer, etc., as a remedy for the evils resulting from the use of the stronger alcohohc beverages, is equivalent to teaching young men to ayoid a more glaring inconsistency by guiltily indulging in one less ap- parent. The proper regulation of the human mind depends upon avoiding all that is wrong, and defending and practising all that is right. The con- taminating influence of the lesser evil is only the seed-bed of the more ap- parent destroymg influence. The advocacy of the use of light alcoholic .5 siiiiiUuia shall pay the penalties j beverages is precisely what temperance ,:Ai be t'iiiorces as a cousequeDce of 1 workers did fifty to sixty years ago, ;;!. ignoiaiit, uv iucompeteut disc- "vvhen the temperance agitation was :,ci;. first inaugurated and that the work inn of this quesiton of temperance education has besn I'.ru v.hether alcohol is superficially done is apparent from ;i;l I .r an ;ujottor to the j the logic of this new candidate for ir:.hi' tn :;rc'i];ip.ishraeiit of this public Ibvors.

It is not a fight many years ago. There is no iuc: ui :j:"v, ;ii, it i;; M combination jiossibiliiy of dealing successtuUy in educating public sentiment as to the truth regarding the character and effects of alcohol upon those who use it, except by showing how it effects the living cells when it comes into contact with these sentient atoms. We must first teach the public that it always injures these cells, and that the apparent augmented strength after its use is only an effort on the part of the combined assimilated atoms of the vital organism to expel an offensive intruder. â€" Truth.

A great mistake IS sometimes made in ventilating cellars and milk houses. The object of ventilation is to keep the cellars cool and dry, but this object often fails of being accomphshed by a common mistake, and instead, the cellar is made both warm and damp. A cool place should never be ventilated, unless the air admitted is cooler than the air within, or is at least as cool, as that, or a very little warmer. The warmer the air .the more moisture it holds in suspension. Necessarily, the cooler the air, the more this moisture is condensed and precipitated. When a cool cellar is aired on a warm day, tne entering air being in motion appears cool but as it fills the cellar, the cooler air with which it becomes mixed cliills it, the moisture it con- densed, and dew is deposited on the cold walls, and may often be seen tanning down them in streams. Then the cellar is damn and soon becomes moldy. To avoid this, the wmdows should only be opened at night, and lateâ€" the last thing before retuing. There is no need to fear that the night air is unhealthfulâ€" it is as pure as the air of midday, and is really drier. The cool air enters the apart- ment during the night, and cu-culates through it. The windows should be closed before sunrise in the Liormng, and kept closed and shaded through tlie day. If the air of a cellar is damp, it may be thoroughly dried by placing in it a peck of fresh Ume in an open box. A pock of lime will absorb alwut seven pounds, or more than of water, and in this way a ^ceUar or milir-lodili may 80cn be dried, even in the yttfidt weather.â€" dJiMW^rt J^»- CuUurtatfur August.

Toronto World, Malicious â€" Some miscreants on on last Sunday night rolled a saw-log on the center of the road leadmg to Rowe's Mill. The obstruction was placed near the centre of the hillâ€" a most dangerous spot. Beyond the mill, another log was placed on the road, when it is crowded on cither side by piles of saw logs, and had any vehicle been passmgin the night, it is impos- sible to estimate what injury might have been the result of this wicked folly. There are criminating suspicions as to the perpetrators. The seventeenth number of Canaitan Pictorial d Illustrated iVar Newt was issued last week on Saturdsy, instead of Thursday. It is a Special iVu»«i« contaming 16 pp. and is devoted entirely to describing and illustrating the reception given by the various towns and cities of the Do- minion to the returning troops. The publishers sent special members of their staff to Winnipeg and other cities to report and sketch the pro- ceedings, and the illustrations are striking mementos of the joyous occasion of the home-coming of our gallant troops. As the paper is doub le the ordinary size the price is 16c. instead of 10c. It IS NOT to be wondered at that errors occur in the hurry of newspaper reporting but there are two of our Toronto brethren- the Mail ondNews^ who made serious blunders in their report of our reception of the volun- teers at Markdale last Thursday. The Mail said the address of welcome to the volunteers was presented by Capt. Madill, of the Salvation Army, and the News credits Dr. Sproule with that honour, and gives him an extra P (ital) to the dignity which belongs to liim as a member of the house of Commons. Genuine facts can only be obtained from the local press, tbe country over, The Address was presented by John Lyons, Esq., of this town. Garden Pahty. â€" The Methodist Ladies' Aid annual garden party was held at tho residence ot Mr. Wm, Armstrong on Friday evening last and was a decided success. The weather was very threatening all day and a few drops oi ram f^ll in the evening, but otherwise everyt/iiug was favorable, and there was a large attendance. The Brass Baud was in attendance, and appeared for the first time in their new uniform which gave them quite an improved appeareuce, they acted their part to the great satis- faction of all, they are a very respectable lot of young men and are fast growing in popularity. Tlie refreshments, ice- cream, lemonade, bouquets, c., were in abundance and the customers plentiful, so that a very -enjoyable time was spent in those most delight- ful grounds which are large, neat and well arranged. Mr. Armstrong and family will please accept the united thanks of the society for throwing their grounds open and for their united efforts in making the lawn party a success.

It is a strange anomaly that men should be careful to insure their houses, their furniture, their ships, their merchandise, and yet neglect to isure their lives, surely most important of all to their families, and far more subject to loss." â€" Benjamin Fbanklik.
