In matters lelimous the year just

ency toward federation and even con
solidation.'' Hardly second to It. how.
rVer, are the two movements, fully de
veloped during tha year, affecting doe.
trine and Bible study. Presbyterians
north revised their creed, and m some
measure displaced the historic wesi
minster standards, and Roman Catho
lics appiinted a Mble commission
tha,t must In some degree displace the
no less historic Vulgate of St. Jerome.
The next two developments of the year
: were money raising, in which Metho
dists led, and the organization of an
educational board whose chief work Is
and long will be In the south. True,
the latte." is not distinctly religious,
but iu promoter U the largest contrlb

religious convictions are behind his be

IUi min gharri" Evening Post?""- Great
interest in England Is now taken in the
auastlon of national education. But
thag Interest sems to be chiefly direct
ed (to the question as to how far the
daf schools may be used to Impart "rei
llgious instruction" according to the
particular creed of the parents of the
children attending, .ucb schools. How-
evof important it mat' be 'that their
f
bearing upon a future; lif Should be
Imparted to the scholars, there can be
no jpoubt of the necessity for a more
thorough education in matters pertain
Ing.lo the life that now Is, If our coun
try; is to hold its own in the compe
titiftn of the near future. In this con
nection tha oxample tt the United
tatjfs !n regard to a system of national
Instruction in scientific temperance is
well worthy1 "of the consideration of tne
British people. The effects of Intern
poranoe upon "national deficiency have
nowhere oeen so closely studied out
entt so. thoroughly acted upon agio the
United' States, r and nowhere else have
tha good reiults of abstinence been go
closely , demonstrated. We have all
besn made familiar with the power of
American capital, the stress of Ameri
can competition and the superiority of
American "vorkmen; but th'ere has been
great reluctance n this country to' ac
knowledge how much of these are due
to a, system of national education in
scientific temperance in its bearing up
on national efficiency, . ( y
Let us recognize that the consump
tion of alcoholic liquors In the United
States is only about halt the' quantity
per head of what Is consumed In the
United Kingdom, and we may see our
wny to the solution of the perplexing
lalior problem. Tet, although the con
sumption of drink is so comparatively
low, so convinced are the educational
and commercial authorities of the
states of the evil effects that they rec-
cgnlxe the ned for a more extensive
Instruction In temperance matters and
a more stringent application of that
knowledge In daily life. By the laws
of the demand of the owners, the ma
chine of all the states, Instruction In
scientific temperance Is given In all the
mihlio elementary schools. Under
these laws there are more than SO.OOO,
000 of children of school age In the
United States under this instruction.
And all this has token place within the
last SO years. The result Is that
the properly instructed are entering In
to their Inheritance of commercial su
premacy In the world. The importance
of temperance Instruction Is recognis
ed has lifted the question out of the
category of 'fads," to which so many
badly Instructed people In the country
consign it. and there the subject Is one
V-
pf 1 the Indispensa we ; eiemen w
knowledge. In seme of the stages a
penalty, Is fartacfied to 'the egHct of
It; In some the topic must occupy one
fourth, to, one-fifth space In the. books
on physiology, and In others no teacher
who has iot passed a satisfactory ex
amination In the subject Is allowed to
tenth.
Whrt Is the bearing of this teaching
on the commercial world? One result
l that fully 1,000.000 railway men and
8,000.000 more In other employments are I
required to be total abstainers. , The
prohibit! in of the army canteen and the
groggsry In the navy keeps the services
free from the drink evil, mat the
United States has still to light te the In
flux of Immigrants from the old world,
with their traditional regard for liquor
and their Ignorance of Its effects upon
them. To counteract this the system
of national education In scientific tem
perance is continued and enforced, with
lasting good to the country and to the
commercial spirit, which threatens to
swamp all competition.
AN ELECTRIC FLYER.
An electric locomotive has ;'ust been
constructed which it is ctoimel will
travel at the rate of f'om 100 to li"
miles an hour. From this it would
seem that there is no limit to speed
possibilities, nor is there any limit to
the possibilities of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters for suring stomach, liver and
idney complaints. Its record of cures
during the past 60 years proves this
ithout a doubt, and also establishes
1U superiority over all other remedies.
When the system has become weak
and run down either from sickness or
neglect, you will find a few doses of
the bitters very beneficial It will give
you new life and ene'rgyrestore the
