DR.. n. S. Davis, President of the
Chicago Medical College, recently deliv-
cred lecture upon the use of stimulants,
at the Washingtonian Home, in that city,
from which we take the following extracts:
Alcohol is never changed in the human
stomach, no matter how diluted it may
seem to be- Putting water into it, or
drinking it in the form of beer or milder
liquids, does not alter the fact that the in
toXicant is still the same. When taken
into the stomach, it is soon caught up by
the blood and carried all over the organi
cation, and little particles of il actually are
taken to the brain. Man breathes for
some purpose. 1t is not merely to 90
through the form. Anything that gets
into tie lungs is separated only by "A deli
cate membrane from the blood outside Of
those chambers. Every breath that we
breathe out Of the body carries out a GER
tain quantity of ctletc matter When Il
child is chokod up with the Group it be-
comes purple in the face, and that is
caused by the retention of the carbonic
acid gas that ought to escape through the
lungs Alcohol dimnishes the quantity

carbonic acid gas thrown of.
After certain quantity of alcohol is
taken into the stomach, the person be-
comes insensible He is purple in the face,
and his eXtremitieS are cold. This APP
pearance is caused 10y the alcohol stopping
the Interchange in question, If now, two
or three glasses Of the liquor be poured
into the person, he dies If nature did not
deprive men Of the power to drink after a
certain stage hundreds of thousands would
be killed yearly by their own hand This is
the cause of people dying from endeavor-
ing to carry out drinking wagers. They
drink SO fast and strain themselves SO
much in order to drink, that nature can
not assist, ana they die No one can
habitually interfere with the workings of
nature in this respect without entailing
disease upon himself, d disease which is
always followed by death unless an i'm.
mediate check Is put upon the drinking.

Mrs. Buttons Nerves.
But my poor nerves, George |"

" But my poor nerves, George !"
"Ah, yes, your nerves COnfound
your nerves, Mrs Button you are always
throwing your nerves in my face. say,
the wife of poor man has no business
with nerves There"
And Mr. Button spitefully bit off the
end of his cigar, pulled his hat on his
head, and strobe away to his place OF bust
ness.
But before Mr.. Button had reached the
wholesale store down town, where he
was employed as salesman, his temper
was gone-and then he was ashamed of
himself, as he always was; for George
Button was a good hearted fellow, despite
his fiery temper.
Poor girlW he muttcred poor Emil
ly! | am too hard on her. She's the
mother of my children, and good wife, if
man ever had one. It's not her fault if
she has bad nerves"
And the more he thought about that
business Of the evening cigar, the more ne
saw that it was his duty to heed the little
wifes wish timidly as she had expressed
it, And still thinking it occurred to him
that it might not be a bad idea if he were
to give up smoking altogether. He
whipped led-pencil out of his pocketand
made a calculation:
-Four cigars a day-thats about my
ayerage--at ten cents piece; that's forty
cents day Three hundred and sixty
five days year--multipled by forty
whew why, it's one hundred and forty
six dollars year. Who would have
thought it Hum-hum-muSt think it
over seriously"
And thinking it over seriously, he re-
solved that, yes, hewould giyeup smoking
altogether.
Aud Mrs. Bution2 No sooner had her
husband left the house than she reproach-
ed herself for her selishneSs.
Poor George said she; II ought
not to ask ii Of him He has but few en-
oyments, and | suppose il is my duty to
endure his cigar Oh, what thing it is
for woman to have nerves.
That night, as the family sat around the
fire after supper, Mr.. Button took to play.
! ng with the children, and did not take out
his cigar.case.
why don't you smoke, dear" asked
Mrs Button.
/ "Oh. my wife'S nerves won't allow it,
said Button, with goodnatured laugh
Il was to blame, George said the
wife, Smoke if you want TO, dear |
have made up my mind that after all, a
cigar is not such dreadful thing. |
ought 10 be thankful for my good hus
band who always spends his evenings at
home with his family as you do
But Mr. Button did not smoke and the
evening passed away very pleasantly No

The next morning, Mr. Button took out

through time
And fame may be by virtue won, and 50 II may by
crime;
By Offering to the lust of blood hecatomb of
lives
BY making countless orphans weep, and countless
widOwded wives,
All this that we may win name the world may
wish TO save
name that cannot serve beyond the portals Of the
grave.
! am going to seek my fortune, with both these
phantoms flown;
And now sweet Lille, we may seek for rosy health
alone.
For this we need no peril risk, no death by land or
SEA
For Faith, and Love, and Hope will give the boon
to you and me,
And thus, without slecpess night, without sigh
or tear,
Without wandering step Wen lind glorious for
tune here,

the obliging conductor, but please nesa n

there's danger ahead--remembe ~
