The Sentinel also says the plaintiffs COM

We have no objection to the enforcement
of the law for the protection OF fish and

proper measures for the enforcement OF the
law, but it strikes us that this is very
angular move for the accomplishment OF
that object. In the first place the dam and

record in the courts is evidence sufficient
oil this point and shows the folly of further
Efforts in this direction. 1t is not to he
presumed for moment that an invest tment
of over $l50,oO0, which has necessarily
laid dormant during the crisis of the past
eight years, will be abandoned and thrown
away simply because n few parties desire
to spend their Sundays in fishing above tie
dam. We are informed that no portion OF
the dam is washed away, and only small
smount OF damage has been done by the
| breaking up of the ice to tie flood gates
and ice breaks, which Mr.. Harris de-
sired to repair at the present for the pro-
lection of the property. The injunction
will add only perpe1ing delay and unnec-
essary costs, and increase the length OF the
court docket. There is remedy in the
statutes whereby one.half the number OF
the above plaintiffs can secure and compel

OATECHIsm ON ALCOHOL.

FIRST EFFECTS OF ALCOHOLIC DRINKS.
Q. What happens to person when he
drinks alcoholic liquors?
A. The stomach is injured, and, IL il con.
tains food, the digestion is hlndered.
Q. How do we know that?
A. When man has drank freely after
eating, the food has been known to remain
undigested in the stomach for many hours.
@. What happens when food is put in
bottle with alcoholf
A. The alcohol prevents Its decay. We
see vegetable and animal substances pre-
served in this way for years.
O.. What does this show9
A. That the alcohol prevents their 60
ing to pieces, aud it does the same to the
food in the stomach.
@. What else does the alcohol do in the
stomach?
A. II creates sores there, and destroys
the gastric juice which helps to digest our
food.
@. If only small quantity Is taken,
| would it prevent digestion?
A. 1t would, if the stomach held it like
bottle.
Q. What does the stomach do with in
A. 1t absorbs il quickly, and sends it to
the liver and into the blood.
| Q. Whv can 1t he smelled 30 soon in the
breath OF the drinker?
A. The blood carries il quickly to the
lungs, and throws it ont in the breath?
O. Why is that done?
A. Because ii is n very hurtfnl poison
and the blood makes haste 10 get rid OF it.
O. In what other way is it thrown off?
| A, BY the skin, the liver, and the kid
neys.
Q. How does it make people feel good
Ms they say?
A. 1t rouses up the whole system to ex
pei it. The tissues all pour out thei
fluids to wash il away. The organs al
hurry it along tn get rid of it.
@. poes it really do them any good ?
4. We cannot find that it does.
