How Alcohol Enters the system.

81 When taken in by the more ordinary
channel, the stomach, it finds its way by
two routes into the circulation. Acer-
tain portion of 1.-THE greater portion of
its absorbed by direct veins Of the
alimentary surface, finds its way straight
into the larger veins, which lead up to
the heart, and onward with the course of
the blood. Another portion is picked
up by small structures proceeding from
below the mucous surface of the stom-
ach, and from which originate a series of
fine tubes that reach at last the lower
portion of a common tube, termed the
thoracic duct-=a Tube which ascends in
front of the spinal column, and termi-
mates at the junction of two large veins
on the left side of the body, at apoint
where the venous blood, returning from
the left arm, joins with the returning
blood from the left side of the head on
its way to the heart. It is so greedy for
water that it willpick itnp from sn the
watery textures of the body, and deprive
them of it, until, by its saturation, it can
take up no more, its power of reception
being exhausted; after which it diffnses
itself into the current of circulating
fluid. When we dilute alcohol with
water before drinking it, we quicken Its
absorption; and, if WI do not dilute it
sufficiently, it is diluted in the stomach
by the transudation of water in the stom-
ach, until the required reduction for its
absorption is effected.-Populdr Science

also sold Armstrong guns to the Chinese.
If there were no American officers in
their service to handle these means of
defense, this sale of vessels and guns
would not be serious; but there are
many of nj countrymen inthe navyand

war, would direct the batteries aioat
and on land with an effect that would
astonish and delight their Celestial en-
|ployers.
It may be that the English have sold
inferior war material to the Chinese, SO
as to preserve their. advantage in q war
over that people; but this remains to be
seen. One thing, however, is certain,
and it is that the next Chinese war will

The Washington Monument.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Graphic writes: "In noting
the evidences of Improvement in our
beautiful city 1 must not omit to tell you
of the prospect, which is daily brighten
ing, for transforming our national eye
sore-the Washington Monument-into
an ornament for the. city and an exponent
of American patriotism. The Monument
Society has in good earnest begun the
work of collecting subscriptions, and
large sums have been already subscribed.
The State Of New York has pledged
$40, 600 ; New Jersey, $1,000 Connect
cut, $4,000; and Minnesota, 81, 1000 !; and
appeals are to be made to the Governors
of all the States. An appeal is now be-
ing made to all the societies and organ
izations of the United States, and there
are some 40, 1000 of these, including Ma
sons, Odd Fellows, knights Templar,
Patrons of Husbandry, and Orders Of
Mechanics. To lone has the appeal
been urgedm vain, and large proper
ton of these societies has already re-
sponded most generously. Last week
the Grand Masonic Lodge of Illinois ap-
p~ropriated the sum of 81, ZOO for the use
of the Washington Monument, and &C
companied the appropriate with a reso-
luton eloquently expressive of the rev
erence which as Masons as welp as
Americans they felt for the illustrlous
chieftain who was one of their fraternity.
The Grand Lodge urged all the lodges o.
Illinois to follow its example in appro.
priating money for the continuation of
the monument, each lodge according to
its means. The agents Of the Monument
Society are busily at work seeking sub.
scriptions,f but there is no possibility Of
aShowl being raised about a monument

lied to collect money-only subscrip
tions-and the money is to be forwarded

The tspanIshl King Can Do No Wrong.

There comes a story from Spain as
darka IS the worst episodes of crime in
the period of Harry the Second of
France, or the Duke de Medici. The
Young King Alfonso, in whose aid an
officer of the Spanish army was fighting
the Carlist enemy at the front, corrupted
the daughter of that officer, while one
of his elderly associates, the Duke of
Sextoy corrupted the officers wife. The
husband and father, returning on suspi-
cion, fired his pistol at his King-the
son of Marie Isabella, whose corrupt life
would expel her from any domestic
hearthstone in the world. Missing the
King, the Mephistophiles of the expe-
dition, Sexto, shot the officer of the
crown and the head Of the family dead
in the midst of the guilty people who
had already accomplished the last injury
to soldier, al husband and q father.
King Alfonso is less than eighteen years
old. Such an Absalom is not justified
even bysuchla mother as Isabella laii. {
But the story goes further. The po-
lice heard the pistol shots and sought to
do their duty, but had to fall back before
the young Amounted of the Iord. A
night Waterman took off the body, and
he receives what is in Spain the lordly
salary of $400 a month for his silence.
The maid servant in the house and her
lover, both cognizant of their deeds of
the night, are assassinated. Next, q
Judge of Madrid, too resolute to do
something under these Horrible circum-
stances, is also assassinated. The press
is gagged. Nothing can be done ever
by the justice of God in Spain but to
spread such stories through the world
by secret hand-bills. and pasquinades.

Chinese Preparations for War.

China has been for some time prepar.
ing for wa with some one, as if with the
determination of being no longer bullied
by anysWester power. The principal
points along her, coast have received the
attention-of the American engineer and
artillery officers in her service, and on
the Peiho river heavy earthworks have
been thrown up. As a war with one of
the Western powers would be largely a
naval one, the government has lately Civ
en- much attention to the navy, which
has been augmented within the last year
by ten torpedo vessels, built on the
Thames; so that the English have been

A Oleer Railroad.

r There has Just been completed one of
the most crooked and costly railroads in
the United States. 1t is called the Tahoe
and Carson Narrow Gauge. The road
bed runs along the lake for about a
mile, until it reaches a huge gorge in the
mountains, up this dark and u%ninviting
canon, through long cuts in the solid
granite, over high t~restles runslthe track
until after attaining an altitude of some
thousand feet it reaches the summit of q
giant mountain. To most civil engineers
this peak would be an obstacle unim-
passable not sc with MI. Anderson, the
Company very skillful surveyor. The
summit of that peak had to be reached,
and if the grade was too heavy up an
angle of less than AS degrees, there was
still another way to attain the summit,
and that was q zig!zag road IN the shape
of the letter q, piled one on another
across the face of the old bald mountain,
and then instead of turning a curve,
rams its catcher into q corner Of the q,
and backing out and up the grade, con.
tinues in that manner until the summit
is reached, q distance Of seven and a hall
miles from Flenbpook. From there
across q fertile little valley, which crowns
the summit, the road runs past Spooner's
Station, a relic of the ante-railroad days
situated on the old Placerville freighi
road to Sacramento. Through q tunne
4S0 feet long pushes the road until
short distance beyond it reaches thu

But the reapers labor for us all; e.

Ere the great sun that burns above
Shall crimson in the west,
AID the children's poppy nosegays fade,
And they Lie dow to rest,
Each golden spear that upward points
Shall fall upon the field,
And the farmer drain q sparkling glass,
Rejoicing Ger the yield. .

And give the people breadi
At every conquering stride you take
On want and woe you tread,
Drop, heavy ears, and give the strength
You gathered from the plain,

And do great things againi
Goddess the hands, all hard and brown,
That guide the cleaying pillow,
That cast abroad the shining seed,

: The range of disorders which yield to the influence of
this medicine, and the number of defined diseases which
1t never fails to cure, are greater than any other single
medicine has hitherto been even recommended for, By
any other than the propretons Of some Quack nostrum.
These diseases are Scrofula and all Eruptive diseases
and Tumors, Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia and Spinal
complaints, and all ~lnlammatory symptoms, Ulcers, all
'Syphiitic diseases, Kidney and Bladder diseases, Dropsy,
the whole train of painful disorders which so generally
,afiict American women, and which carry annually thou
sands OF them to premature graves; Dyspepsia, that uni
yersal curse Of American manhood; Heartburn, Piles,
Constipation, Nervousness, inability to sleep, and impure
blood. NO ID .g.t.
This is a formidable list of human ailments for any
single medicine to successfully attack, and it Is not prob
able that any one article before the public has the power
to cure the quarter of them excepting the VEGETINE.
It lays the az at the root of the tree OF disease by first
eliminating every impurity from the blood, promoting the
the ystem-inyigosating the liver to its full and natural
ton. This much accomplished, the speedy and the per.
manent cure Of not only the diseases We have enuIneT.
sted, but likewise the whole train of chronic and consti-
tutional disorders, Is certain to follow. This Is precisely
what yEGETISE does, and It does 1t so quickly and so
easily that II Is an accomplished fact almost before the
patient 10 aware OF II himself

9 Dear Strive have good reason, for regarding your
VEeETrsE a medicine II the greatest taiue. We feel as
sured that 1t has been the means of saving our sons life.
He is now seventeen years of age; for the last two years
he has suffered from necrosis of his leg, caused by scrof-
ulous affection, and was 50 far reduced that nearly all
who saw him thought bis recovery impossible. A council
of able physicians could give us but the faintest hope of
his ever rallying, two of the number declaring that he
was beyond the reach of human remedies, that even
amputation could NOT save him, as he had not vigor
enough to endure the operation. Just then we oom-
menced giving him VEaETISE, and from that time to the
present he has been continuously improving. He has
lately resumed his studies, thrown away crutches and
cane, and walks about cheerful and strong.
Though there Is still some discharge from the opening
where bis limb was lanced, We have the fullest confidence

too well to be taking medicine. ..,ft i.--. n
