Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving day in this country
came in with the Puritsns, who brought
it from England, although it may be
said to have originated with the Jews.
1t is quite apparent in the song OF
Moses and the dancing of Miriam, re-
corded in the fifteenth chapter OF Ex-
odus. The Psalms are suggestive of
thanksgiving, and nations celebrated
great public events in thanksgivi ngs.
But among the Puritans Thanksgiving
were ordered upon every small SUE cess,

Alcoholics Effects as a Supporter of
the System.

At recent meeting of the ROYAL
Society a paper on Further expert
ments on the effects of alcohol and exer-
else on the elimination Of nitrogen, and
on pulse and temperature of the body"
was presented by DIR. Z. A. Parks. II
contained detailed description of ex-
periments made on soldier "a Scotch.
man-who had been brought up on oat
meal and milk, and who at one time
had been in the habit of taking more
than fair amount of whisky. As a
soldier, however, he bears the charac-
ter of steady man in the enjoyment of
perfect health.
His experience as to the effect of
alcohol is noteworthy. He commenced
the exercise and brandy period of the
experiment with belief that the brandy
would enable him to perform the work
more easily, but ended with the opposite
conviction. The brandy was taken IN
four doses at 10 a. M, 2 p. m. and p.
M, in an equal quantity of water, and
the work was chiefly done in Two hours
Immediately succeeding each dose, and
from to a. m. The two hours work
from 10 a. m. to IL M, Immediately after
the first four fluid ounces of brandy was
drank, he thought was done equally
well with and without the brandy.
The man affirmed that he could tell no
difference, except, to use his own words,
" the brandy seemed to give him kind
of spirit which made HIM think he could
do great deal of work but when he
came to do it he found he was less
capable than he thought" After the
second four ounces Of brandy he felt
hot and thirsty but on the, first two
days he thought he worked as we'll az
on the "water days." On the third
day, however, he had palpitation Of the
heart, and was surprised 10 find he was
obliged to stop from time to time, be.
cause, to use his own words, "of his
breathing not being so good"
The third four fluid ounces OF brandy,
at 10 a. m, produced on all three days
narcotic effects; Immediately after taking
it be became heavy, felt the greatest in.
disposition to exert himself, and could
hardly refrain from throwing down his
spade and giving up work. He worked
with no vigor, and so the second even
ing thought his muscular power de.
cidedly lessened. On the third evening.
as it was raining, he could not dig, but
took walking and running exercise
under cover. On attempting to run he
had palpitatiou and got out OF breath
and was obliged to stop, 80 that he
stated, on the next day, I" if he had his
accouterments on and had been ordered
to double he could not have obeyed
the order After coming in from work
on each evening he fell into heavy
sleep from which he was reused with
difficulty. This lasted three or four
hours, after which he was restless and
sleepless.
The mans own judgment was, at the
end of the trial, that he would prefer
to work without the brandy; and when
asked his reasons, he mentioned Z" the
increased thirst, the hesviness in the
evening, and the huttering at the heart"

A Future Railroad Center.

The progress of railroad construction
in the United States, especially in the
West, is really wonderful. About for
ty-two years since the first railroad was
| built in America. Since that time
there has been constructed greater
length of rail than can be found on the
entire European continent, including
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
In the year 1923 there were only three
miles of rail laid in the United States !;
in 1890, 40 miles in 1910, 2,197 miles ;
in 1850, 1885 miles; in 1860, 23,7ll
miles in 1870, 4S,760 miles.
The States of the Mississippi Valley
and the Northwest have alresuy more
than one half the railroad mileage of
the United States. We could produce
the correct figures to show the truth of
this assertion.
In Southern Illinois, until recently,
there has been but little progress in the
construction of railroads, but it must

lists in that great State to know at the
people there are waking up, their adj
vantages being appreciated, so that be-
fore long all parts of " Egypt" will be in
direct communication with the world
through the medium of the iron and
steel rail.
Cairo, ILL.,, as we take it, will be one
of the great railroad centers Of the
country, and the future of that beauti.
full city ought to make the hearts of
the Egyptians leap with joy. The mum

city, in a commercial point of view.
The true interest of the people of that
city lies in the encouragement, foster.

building up any city, to secure the hap

every scheme which tends to the in.
crease OF resources and facilitates inter.
communication are objects worthy of
the highest efforts of those who minis.

railroad system, and by word and by

Literally Blown TO Atoms.

A man named Payne, at Housewife,
Pa, undertook to transport some nitro
glycerine in tin can. He placed il be.
hind the seat on a buckboard-a kind
of long, country wagon--drawn by a
pair of horsrs. The can exploded, with
the following results, as related by the
Ttusville Herald
"Mr. Payne's body was simultane
ously scattered over an area of about
twelve acres. the blackboard was literal.
Up storm into splinters, but strange TO
say, the horses were not killed, but ran
away badly singed, and wounded in the
launches. The explosion was distinct
ly heard four miles off. What was
found would not fill half bushel
measure. The right hand was found at
a distance of $50 feet, and the other
parts vt various distances and widely
scattered. His watch was picked up
near the right hand, badly damaged (;
his pocket book was found entire with
its contents, but his account.book was
torn 10 shreds."

The choice of foreign correspond.

this year has resulted in the defeat of
Mr.. Darwin and the election of M.

thirty-two votes, against fifteen given TO
the English naturalist. The discussion

who voted for Mr.. Darwin shared his
philosophical doctrines, and not one of

A Specific for SMALLPOX.

In recent number Of the Lancet, DR..
Alexander Watson recorded several
cases of small pox and scarlet fever in
which the external application of car
bolic acid met with marked success. In
the case of one patient with smallpox
whom he saw at the period when papuls
appeared, he ordered an enema, and
then had the patient--a girl of eleven
years-sponged all over with carbolic
acid soapsuds. On the next day a Sc.
we're attack of continent smallpox was
threatened, but the child was sponged
as she had previously been, and then
her whole body was painted with the
csrbolic acid glycerine of the British
Pharmacopeis. Five grains of Dover's
powder were then given to allay irrita-
biity, and the little girl slept quietly
for several hours, when she was sponged
again. No vesicles formed, and the pa.
tient WAS convalescent in c few days.
Carboic acid was, in the meantime,
plentifully used about the room.

A Costly Railroad.

There have been some astonishing dis.
closures made concerning the Metro.
politan railway of London. This i'm.
mense work has cost e7,500,000, or
about 81 100000 per mile. AT the an.
nual meeting, held on Aug. 2S, it was
shown that although during the last
year the road had carried million more
passengers than ever before, il had
earned only $500 more money, and a
dividend of only | per cent. could be
paid. The sum of f536,6S5 has been
spent in law costs since the opening of
the road. About $4,000 persons are
carried over the road every day. In
1868 the company paid per cent; in
1864, ST in 1868, :; in 1869, 4 ; in
1870, st and in 1871, 3; but it now ap.
pears that all these dividends had been
been paid out of capital and not out of
revenue, and that in point of fact the
road had never paid at all. Not less
than 9l,000,000 had been wasted" in
spending the E7,500000, and the COM
pany had never been able to make
this up.
