There is food for thought in the above statistics, and they are so plain that 4 'he who runs may read" and un derstand. Liquor is the acknowledged ing of evil in this country, and the records show that the monster is grad ually losing his power. The arm of the tyrant is being broken, and we are nearing the peaceful reign of King Emanuel and cold water. We are drinking tea, coffee and wine, instead of so much bust-head liquor, and the records show that other evils are de- with Her Majesty's service in India and registers from Calcutta. "The place is called the Valley of Death," explained the officer, "on ac count of the deadly fumes there. But the natives cannot account for the poisonous odors, nor has their presence ever been explained. The deadly place is about thirty-five feet below the surrounding ground, looks like a dry bed of a stream, and is about one mile in circumference. As I approach ed the place I noticed a suffocating smell, and was attacked with nausea and dizziness. A belt of this fetid at- creasing in a like proportion. The mosphere surrounds the valley. I reason for tho change, however, is hard to find. Most of us would cer tainly like to give the lion's share of tho glory to the ministers of the gospel, thousands of whom stand up weekly all over our land and declare that they "are called" to preach the unsearcha ble truths of the bible, but the facts show that the same preachers come in for their full quota of the meanness that is being done. This is sad. You can passed through it, and in purer air was permitted to view the awful spec tacle,, for it was awful. Before me I saw scattered all over the barren floor of the valley skeletons of men, wild hogs, deer and all kinds of biids and small animals. The entire bed of the valley is one solid rock, and I could not discover a hole or crevice in any place from where the poisonous fumes came. The hills surrounding this des- Longfln Sugar-makln' Time.
