A DEADLY DRAM.
4 Nan Drinks Quart of Whisky and riss

On Sunday morning last q man
named Michael Hall came into
George Sloan's saloon in Sutro, and
asserted that he could drink quart
OF whisky in five minutes. Hall
was somewhat intoxicated at the
time, but was so anxious to bet that
some one finally put up $40 that he
could not accomplish the feat. Ac-
cortlingly quart measure was filled
up with Sutro whisky, the quality
and strength of which are too well
known throughout the State to
make any further explanation neces-
sary. Hall lifted the measure to his
lips and drained it to the dregs,
without moving it from his lips, in
two minutes and o half. He then
pocketed the $40. Before minute
had past he fell to floor apparently
dead, and in that condition was at
once removed to his lodging house
on Helena avenue. DR.. Briefly
was summoned, and emetics were
given, but without producing the
desired result. A stOmach-pump
was then applied to the man, and
more than q pint of liquid was taken
from him. For forty-eight hours
he was unconscious of what was
going on about him. Inflammation
Of the stomach set in, and his suffer-
ings became intense. The ulcera-
ti0ns from the Inflammation finally,
It is believed, perforated his stom-
ach, and on Thursday night about
IL O'Clock he died. Hall was a
robust, hard-working young man,
only twenty-five years of ages He
was q native of Ireland, and
unmarried.

Tho Romanoe OF Death.

It 10 not little singular that the
Greeks have scarcely ever failed to
make the deaths of their literary
heros as marvellous as their lives.
Homer, they tell us, died of o
broken heart, because he could not
guess q riddle. AS Horace had
been warned by witch that a chat.
terbox would be his death, SO had
Homer been warned by an oracle
that he would be killed by a riddle.
And his day came. See
ing or rather hearing, for
the tradition of his blind.
ness is too universal to be discred-
ited-some young fishermen in a
boat, he unfortunately asked them
what sport they had. To which
they replied, "As many as we
caught we left, as many as we
could not catch we carry with us.n
This was too much for the author
Of the Iliad. He guessed and
guessed, till he could guess no
longer, and finally died of sheer
vexation. According to Gregory
NanzIanzen, Justyn Martyr and
Eustathius, Aristotle went off in
precisely the same way, because he
could not understand the more in
tsresting riddle set byNature, name
ly, the cause of the ebbing and
flowing of the Euripus. "Slnce"
he indignantly exclaimed, II can
not conceive the Euripus let the
Euripus receive me.u Diodorus,
the Ingenious investor of the
sshorned" and ''veiled" sophIsm,
having met with his match In one
6tilpo, who "caught him with an.
other s0phism which he was una
BILE to solve," went home, wroteIa
book about It, and died of despair.

The Milk of the Cow Tree.

Alexander Humboldt remarks
that, among the many very won-
derful natural phenomena which
he had during his extensive travels
Witnessed, none impressed him in
. more remarkable degree than the
sight of a tree yielding an abund.
ant supply of milk, the properties
of which seemed to be the same as
the milk Of the cow. The adult
Indians would 60 each morning
with their slaves from the village
or station on the slope of the noun
tain chain bordering on Veuezuela, 4,
where Humboldt was stopping, to
forest where they grew, and,
making some deep incisions into
the tree, i'll less than two hours
their vessels, placed under these in
cIsions, would be full. All present
would then partake of the
milk, on which the slaves
grew fat, and a quantity would
be carried home to be given
to the children and to be mixed
with cassava and maize. The tree
itself attains a height of from
forty-five to sixty feet, has long al.
ternHte leaves, and was described
by Linden as brosinauns galdcto.
dendr0n. The milk which flows
from any wound made in the trunk
is white and somewhat viscid; the
flavor is very agreeable. Some
time ago, on the occasion of M.
BOussingault going to South Amer.
lea, Humboldt requested him to
take every opportunity of investi-
eating this subject. At Maracay
the tree was first met with, and for
more than a month its excellent
qualities were daily tested in con-
nection with coffee and chocolate;
but there was no opportunity for q
chemical analysis. Nor does such
appear to have occurred till the
other day when, amid the many
curious things exhibited by the
Venezuelan Government at the
Paris Exposition, there happened to
be several TASKS OF this milk, and
after long period M. Boussingault
has been enabled to complete his
analysis of this substance, which
IL unique in the vegetable world.
In memoir lain before the Acade.
my of France, he gives a detailed
analysis, and concludes by stating
that this vegetable milk most GER
tainly approaches in its compost
ton to the milk of the COW; it con-
tains not only fatty matter, but
sugar, caseine and phosphates. But
the relative proportion of these
substances is greatly in favor of the
vegetable milk, and brings it up to
the richness of cream, the amount
OF butter in cream being about the
same proportion as the peculiar
waxy material found In the veget-
able milk, a fact that will readily
account for its great nutritive
powers.
