The Drinking Habit.

We often hear it said by those who
speak without sober thought the
number of such speakers Is legion
that the drinking habit Is as bad to-day
~ It ever was, or worse. There are
plenty Of men who claim to be public
teachers who would have US believe that
our great grandfStbers were sober set
comp .rsd with the present generation.
la those old times-"the good old
timcs"-they say, the liquor drank was
pure, and did not produce that wretched
effect which we witness in the case of
tne drink~r of the alcoholic beverages
of the present tune. In short. in this,
as in other moral and social directions,
they would make it appear. if they
could. that society is sadly ard lament
ably b.i,w the standard of those All
cient ancestors.
But be sure the nature of man has
not changed In the matter of intem-
perance. as in other matters. we take
more notice of a drunken man now
than was taken when the brandy and
rum decsnters were absolutely nee, ssary
articles upon every sldebmrd In those
days the man to excite deprecatnry re
mark was re who failed to drink his
bottle with the rest. The msn who
would refuss to drink. in social gather
ing, was q msn to be avoided.
The deeply rooted habit is aptly IL

late Henry Mackenzie, who died in
1881; so the time of which he tells

Badness

Al correspondent of the Montpelier
Argus, discoursing on badness, thus
illustrates his argument: The advan-
tages are not all on The side of hair. There
was Absalom. IF he had been bald
headed he would be alive and well to-day
Absalom had one little failing common
with the people of to-day. lie colored
his hair. Judge he did because when
told that he was dead, his father exclam-
cd, my son Absalom would to God
had dyed for thee" Absalom was pro-
badly going to the barber's when he met
his death.
Then there was Samson see the diff
entity that he got into. The most singu-
bar part of his story is, that being a
married man he was not already bald
headed, but | believe he was grass
windower at the time of his trouble
Samson was one of the curiositios of the
day. lie was n conundrum maker, and
had streak Of lrumor in him, and some :
times met with an accident when he tried
to tell the truth When Delilah said to
him, "wherein ljetb thy strength" he
lied to her three times, before he told
her. Delilah repaid him by having his
hair removed and consider it barber
Gus proceeding on her part. Samson
afterwards gave farewell exhibition of
his strength, and I judged that the per-
formanco was very satisfactory at any
rate he brought down the house.

A Canada journal contains a letter
from correspondent who processes to
have been stammcrcr from childhood
almost to manhood, and who wishes to
give other sufferers the benefit of the
treatment by which he was cured. He
says: Go into room where you will be
quiet and alone, get some book that will
interest you, but not excite you, and set
down and read two hours aloud, to your
self, keeping your teeth together. Do
the same thing every two or three days,
or once week, if very tiresome, always
taking care to read slowly and distinctly,
moving the lips, but not the teeth
Then, when conversing with others, try
to speak as slowly and distinctly as pos
sible, and make up your mind that you
will not stammer. | tried this remedy,
and read for two hours aloud, with
my teeth together. The first result
was to make my tongue and jaws ache
that is while | was reading and the next
to make me feel as if something had
loosened my talking apparatus, for could
speak with less difficulty Immediately.
The change was so great that every one
who knew me remarked it. | repeated
the remedy every five or six days for a
month, and then at longer intervals,
until cured

A NOVEL SURGICAL OPERATION.
Indy recently had tumor on the inside
of her windpipe removed. an operation
which the Boston physicians who treated
her had never heard Of up to the time of
its performance The Boston Globe saws
that an instrument had to be invented
for the purpose. A tube was put into
the windpipe below the diseased spot,
and the throat subjected to a course of
education" for the operation. An in
strument was devised, having at the end
q combination Of claws which could be
worked from the other end. SO as to close
firmly over the tumor. and arrangement
was made for passing a current of cleo
tricity through the instrument In due
time the operation was successfully per-
formed by gently pressing the instrument
down the windpipe, firmly grasping the
tumor in the claws and burning it out by
the electric current 1t was drawn out.
and the lady, who underwent the ordeal
without The use Of any anosthetic, was
doing well at last accounts.
