' Danger of Moderate Drinking. Continental physicians who speak Oerman have formed an association for HI drink , circles, lag so the promotion of total abstinence. Their first convention, was recently held in Frankfort. The January number of the valuable monthly Internationale Mo natsschrift aur Bekampfung der Trink sitten, published in Leipsio, gives sig nificant utterances of some of the mem bers. Dr. P. J. Moebius of Leipsio de clared that the physician who is a total abstainer ought to make no exception in demanding total abstinence. ''He ought not to censure the laborer who drinks distilled liquors and excuse the wine mid bee^gumkp*. He should oppose the drinking social obligation to tin the upper avails noth offloers, students obligation tp drink tne most pernicious and i form. Using constraint to make men drink should be condemned unconditionally by the physicians and be called by its right name, an abomi nation.H wBL ?.rJKv T? " ■ .. J. •; ■ - - - “The physicians ought not to join in the songs of the poets of intemperance or glorify snob poets. “Ho physician who is an abstainer should ever make the slightest oonoes sion to the alcohol onstoms of society, not even for the sake of appearances. Never ought he ss ap act of politeness to put the glass to his lips, and he should refuse to raise his glass when the command to do so is given. As Christians oould not take part he the sacrifices of the Romans, so the abstain ing physician should everywhere and at all times oppose the social obligation to drink, never so much as seeming to yield assent. Not a drop should he sac rifice, for in doing bo be would bow his knee. Never let; him pay the slightest attention to the drinking customs, whether he he at a hotel or at a family festival, in the presenoe of a king or of officiate ’Never bow .before the idol, but deny it before the mighty.’ Under such circumstances evaiy drop promotes the-tyranny of social drinking and thus also drunkenness. If this abstinence at tracts attention and causes offense, the result will be the more beneficial, and the slight martyrdom to wbioh-tfce total abstainer is subjected wiil accomplish mare than his preaching^ The hands of others are tied, bat the pbysioian is free, thereforehe should be the first to rinks in order to lead men to more .“We havo a right to look for the final len^Vevidlfut fat the fSfcVat* She iew of natural science is taking the lace of a metaphysical conception of he world.

It does look as ft, for some of the most radioal and most effective temperance doctrines, we shall be obliged to go to Germany and Switzer land. This is what Dr. Landmann, in "The members of the Association of Abstaining Physicians reject the nse of spirituous liquors in every form and particularly declare the nse of alcohol ttddest kind. . In order to wer against this abase, they earnestly appeal to tbe officers baking charge of funds for the stances, any longer to permit the pre scription of wine, whisky and brandy pMflhembers, hut to resist to the Utmost, according to the right given them by the laws insuring the sick, the taking of spirituous liquors, under the false pretext that they have a curative - me treatment; or chronic diseases with aloobol is contrary to oar knowl edge of tbe physiological effects of al cohof There ii no probability that its ose will be beneficial.

Sir William a’Becket, Late Chief Justice of Victoria, Australia. P\ Why Xdfaon Abstains. - s . I once asked Thomas A. Edison if he were a total abstainer, and when he told me that he was T said, “May I in quire whether it was 'home influence that made you sot” And he replied,' “No; I think it war because I always felt that I had a better use for my head.” Who can measure the loss to the world if that wonderful instrument of thought that has given us so much of light and leading in the practical meoh anism of life had become sodden with drink, instead of electric with original ideas?—Frances E.-Willard, The Saloon. The saloon is a result of liquor only in the sense that the grocery store is an effect of the food products bandied.' Both establishments exist to facilitate the distribution of articles for whieh there is a demand, natural or other wise. The saloon not only supplies an existing desire, bat it creates an in creased 'demand by drumming up new recruits for the trade. It is an institu tion to facilitate tbe sale of the article which produces intoxication and drunk enness.—Exchange. Tofc» Top Cool.

The mayor with his chief counselors and their distinguished gnest were just about taking their wine at the banquet when the singers Were ushered in.
