Original Advice for Drinkers.

Barkeepers in this city pay on an average $2
per gallon for whiskey. One gallon contains
an average of sixty-fve drinks, and at ten cents
drink the poor man pays $3.50 per gallon for
his whiskey. In other words he pays So for
the whiskey, and $3.50 to man for handing it
over the bar. Make your wife your bar-keeper.
Lend her two dollars to buy gallon of whis-
key for beginning, and every time you want
a drink go to her and pay ten cents for it. By
the time you have drank gallon she will have
$3.50, or enough money to refund the 81 bor.

In 1864 and 1865, Capt Charles L Gardiner Of Chel
sea- Mass, insured in the Union Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company of Maine, for $1,000. on two ordinary
Life Policies, payable at death provided the prem
iums paid annually, according to the terms of
the contract.
On the I'd day of July, 1877, Capt. Gardiner had his
policies changed to the form now used by the Com
pany, which gives the benefit Of the Maine Non-for-
feiture Law.
On the 18th day of September 1877, he sailed from
Boston as master of the good ship "Iceland" on a
voyage to Calcutta. The ship and all board were
lost at sea. The premiums due July 27, 1877, and
August 8, 1871 were not paid, and by the terms of
the original policies this would have worked for
feture of the entire Insurance; but under the new
policies which had been gratuiteusly offered by the
company, the insurance would have been continued
in force more than three years, or until November,
1880, notwithstanding the nonpayment Of the prem
iums due in 1877 and the fact Of the death being
tabshed to the satisfaction of the company the full
amount Of the policies was pail on the 29th day Of
October, / S78.

How Diphtheria Was Spread.

A FEwweeks ago little girl in St.
Albans, who had Just recovered from
diphtheria, was taken by her parents to
visit family in a neighboring town.
She slept with the children in that
family, and shortly afterward three or
four of them were taken with the
malady, and some have since died. The
family permitted relatives and neigh
bors to visit them, and the result is
several cases in the neighborhood.
They had public funerals, even keeping
the remains of one child an unusual
time, waiting for another to die, so as
to bury them together; and this also
spread the contagion. The physician
was not powerfully impressed-as some
physicians are not-with the contagious
character of the disease; therefore. he
did not take the necessary precautions
for the protection of the neighborhood
or of his own family, and the result is
that one of his own children has died
and another is dangerously i'll. A lady
who went to one of these houses to robe
the victims for the grave has called at
houses in the vicinity where there are
children, without any change of her
garments or any attempt at disinfec-
ton, and has fondled the children of
those families, apparently in utter
ignorance of the danger to which she
was exposing them.-St. Adams IT.
Messenger.
