Medical Reeord.l
VIZ find that the efforts of temper
ance retormers are turned much more
than formerly towards introducing
some substitute for alcohol. Failing
in the direct attack they are attempt
ing a flank movement. There is now
manufactured to meet in part these
demands a series of aerated waters
which equal many wines in delicaey of
flavor. Ales and beers with an in-
appreciable amount of alcohol, and
wines from unfermented grapes are
also made and form agreeable drinks,
which may, to some extent, satisfy the
demands of social occasions. For the
WEAKNESS that follows muscular or
mental exertion, the best things are
food and rest. If drinks are craved,
however, we have in thin oatmeal, or
Liebeg's extract Of meat, foods which
enter the circulation so rapidly that
their effect is comparable to that of
alcohol. These, it is suggested, may
be aerated and made endurable by va
rious additions. Tea, and especially
coffee, are also available and useful in
these cases. For the reforming
drunkard bitter infusions may be Of
service in addition to the drinks al
ready mentioned. 1t seems possible
that some advance may be made by
temperance reformers through efforts
in this direction, and since, as a rule,
man is better without alcohol. they
should have the help of the medical
profession.

ting 3S4 miles of road in Minnesota, 200 miles
IN Dakota, and 1876 miles in Washington terri

at the present time, on which there is paying
and increasing business. The company has
under contract to Walker, Bellows Il Co., and
now in process of rapid construction, another
hundred miles west of the Missouri river in
Oak ota, upon what is to be known As the Mis-
souri, division. Before the close Of the present
season the length Of road in operation will not
be less than $50 miles West of the Walker X
Bellows contract engineers are now engaged
in perfecting the location of the line into Mon
tana over the balance Of the Missouri division.
This piece of line, extending something over
a hundred miles to the Yellowstone river, will
be put under contract this season for compile
ton next summer On the Pacific slope, be
tween the Rocky mountains and the navigable
waters of the Columbia river, the engineers
are locating 200 miles, to be known as the
PEN d. Orlele division. At least 100 miles
of this division, opening up the finest wheat
country in the world is to be put under con
tract this year, and completed next season.
Very little of the work on the lines to be con

How many young husbands have been wakened
FROM their dreams Of domestic happiness and
prosperity by the anxious care Of sickly wife!
The home is not the elysium the lover had so
fondly pictured Its atmosphere is gloomy with
invalid complaints. Sweet-wingcd hope that at
first brOoded on its hearthstone, soon fled, and an
ominous bird is there instead, crosking of disap-
pointmcnt. The many little household offices
that should be the delight of the wife to perform
are confided to strangers. The home soon be
comes one only in name, and the disappointed
husband seeks pleasure and society elsewhere,
and goes downward step by step, from vice to
vice, until the ruin is complete and all because
wife has lost her health, and with it her temper
and all those sweet womanly graces that can
alone retnia the love the maiden had won. DR..
