_ The Lc«t Season.
—i— > ?
Yesterday was the beginning of
Lest, the great annual penitential
ska son. It is observed as a jrelig-
leas duty ' vary strictly by the
Catholic ohnreh, and fees strictly
hjr various of the protestant ebur*
chat. That aside from Its strictly
isHgiouk or devotional feature it
iVa wholesome custom, conducive
to physical as well as moral uplift
ing ! , must be J readily admitted;
and this being true, its observance
is to be commended.
Lent com prlsee the forty days
preceding Easter, and in Christian
observance is intending to repre
sent the Savior's passion before
His crucifix'on. The follower of
Christ is expected to practice self-
denial, and more thkn ordinarilly
?ive t tboughto his past life with
its short comings and to the future
life with its premiar-s. Mar
in consequence of tfr.ne waa
during Lent a cessation °.ver go
gaiet.es and observance wfjely- j
purely for pleasure. In socie e ^
is the grand period of rest > . mg
the year. In the practice of s^ lf-de-
nial, aside from the special fasting
there is greater simplicity of liv
ing, in consequence of the absti
nence from everything that comes
under the head of the extras and
which, while tickling the i Ulate
at the same time vex the stoAach.
The rest thus given to the n'Jrves
and the physical organs oannot do
otherwise than be beneficial pe-
sically to the observers of Lent.
And the natural effect of this phy
sical change upon the mind, to
gether which induced this self-de
nial, must have the same improv
ing hffect mentally and spiritually.
Man can only be made better by
the obligations of Lent, and th
stricter they are observed the
greater the benefit that will result.
There is wbat seems to be gen
uine effort to restrict, at l"ist, the
shipment of liquor into dry terri
tory. The latest snggestieu is to
make it unlawful to ship liquor to
any place, in any state that forDids
the'shipment of liquor from on9
place toauother within the state
That is an admirable snggestion. It
ought to be a misdemeanor for any
common carrier to haul any com—
modify within the state that the
law fees condemned as unsalable
for food or drink, unless it shall
have first been denaturized, so as
to render it unfit for use as food
or drink. If we bad a law like that,
it would head off Uncle Sam in
his liquor auctions at the federal
court house. Everybody that
bougbt at the sale would then have
to tote bis own purchase, or haul it
away in his own wagon. This evil
however, would be more directlv
met by a law offered by our Con
gressman Griggs. His bill proposes
to destroy all captured liquor.
That would leave no’Tiug to sell
and would put the liquor where it
wou d do the least harm.

Narcotic And Irritant,
Hold a mouthful of spirits whisk,
ey for instance in your mouth fur
five min ales, and \ouwiII find it
iburns severely; inspect the mouth
and you will find it inflamed. Hold
it for ten or fifteen minutes; and
you will find that various parts of
the interior of the mouth have be
come blistered; then lie a handker
chief over the eyes, and taste, tor
instance, water, vinegar, milk, or
senna, i^nd you will find that yon
are incapable of distinguishing one
from another.Tl.is < xperiment proves
to a certainty that whiskey or aico-
hoi is not only a violent irritate but
also a narctic. C m yon believe that
the still more tender and important
internal organs of the body can be
fees injuriously affected than the
lmouth?
Alcohol is specially i.p l to all in.
tents and purposes a cerebral poison
It siezes, with its disorganizing en>.
ergy, upon the brain, that myster*
ions part whose steady and zndis-
turbed action holds man in true re
sponsible relations with his family,
with society, and with God; and it
is this fearful fact that gives togov-
erment and society their tremend
ous interest in the question.
The chief bar to the working oi
the Spirit of God in the sonls of!
men and women, is intoxicatingI
drink. I know of no antagonist to !
that good Spirit more subtle, more j
stealthy, more ubiqoitous than is. j
toxicating drink. Though I have {
known men and wo men destroyed I
tor all maner of reasons, yet I know J
of no cause that affects man, women,!
child, and home with such univer- i
sality of power as intoxicatingj
drink.
