to organize for the approaching pres

that the delegates from the parishes

thcy will do something more than
ratify cut and dried measures. We
want to see some split infused IN
the popular heart. 70 obtain tins

Cost of Spirits and Beer.

The profit on the sale of whisky
by retail is enormous. There are
in a barrel of whisky thirty one
gallons. AT retail there "a drinks
in a gallon, 1854 drinks ia a barrel;
cost per gallon, say $3.50. This
makes the cost Of 81 gallons S77 30,
and 1884 drinks at 10 cents drink
are $19S.50. Deduct the cost,
$77.5O, and it leaves of profit for
one barrel of whisky $I20.90. If a
saloon keeper can sell barrels q
month he receives $4S3.60, and for
the year $5,SO3.2O. Take out for
expenses I,500, and it leaves a net
profit of $4,303 20.
For a barrel of ale OF 81 gallons
the cost is about $S. In "A gallon
the number of drinks will average
Is, at cents drink; this is 80
cents a gallon, or $2L9O a barrel.
Deduct the cost Of beer, $S, and it
it leaves of profit $l9 30 a barrel, or
on the IL, 100000 barrels at . cents
a glass for beer and ale, of $275,-
100000.
The cost to the people OF the
United States for distilled and fer
mented liquors must be some $500,
100000 a year. THIS is an enor-
nous sum for drink! And not
dollar of this vast expenditure adds
anything to the physical, mental or
moral well-being of our family, but
creates miseries and evil beyond the
power of any pen to describe or
any imagination to conceive. And
yet we have this fact TO console US:

TANNER ECLIPSED.
a Michigan Boy Gees Forty-Soven
Days Without Food or Water.

Oshkosh (Mich.) Northwestern.
There lives in the town of Nekimi
family named Murty, consisting
OF a mother and two sons, Patrick
and Michael. Patrick Murty for
some time has been feiliry f---n
soltening OF the brain or some 9th
er brain disease of that character.
Over six weeks ago his lower limbs
became paralyzed and the nerves
that supply action to the muscles
of the throat also became paralyzed,
so that he could neither swallow
nor make an articulate sound. DI.
Noyes visited the patient last
Wednesday, upon which day it had
been just forty-seven days since a
particle of food had passed his lips.
Up TO nineteen days previous to
that day his attendants Jr1ed to
force small quantities of water
down his throat, but for nineteen
days previous they had been unable
to do so, and his tongue and mouth
were dry, blackened and hard. All
control Of the throat having been
lost, water given him only strangled
him, and this was finally abandoned
for fear of choking him to death.
There being no hope for him, and
it being impossible to get nourish-
ment down, the family were watch
ing for his death, which had been
expected daily and even hourly
during all that time, and yet he
lived on. The mother, Mrs. Murty,
and the brother, Michael Murty
had had the whole care OF him, and
they state positively, and, though
no matter of interest to them, are
willing to make oath that forty
seven days previous to last Wdnes-
day, the 21st inst, not particle of
food had been given Patrick, and
for nineteen days not a drop of wa
ter. DR.. Noyes made a careful in
vestigation of the case, and know
ing the family is convinced that it
is the truth. He examined the pa
tient, who was lying in a partially
comatose state, and found his pulse
SO, respiration II, and temperature
"a, which is very low on these
points. The data here given are
based as taken last Wednesday the
twenty first instant, which was the
time that DR.. Noyes visited the
house, and if the patient is still liv-
ing, the lapse of time since that
day must be added to this remarka-
BILE record.
