How Various Drinks Affect Men.

= An English physician, DIR. Short.
bbuse, has been making an interesting
series of observations on the manner
in which various drinks act on different
parts of the cerebro-spinal system which
preside over locomotion. He says,
according to the British Medical Jour.
nal, that, "if a man partake of too large
quantity of good sound wine or malt
liquor he usually staggers about from
side to side, his gait is very unsteady,
and ifhe come to grief and to mother
earth he generally falls on one side or
the other. Ifhe takes too much whisky,
especially that sbomination which goes
by the name of Irish whisky, he is al
most certain to be seized with an ire
sisttble impulse to fall forward on his
face. If he gets drunk on cider or
perry, the latter more especially, he is
certain to fall down suddenly on bis
back and apparently without any pre-
vious warning. He once saw number
Of men who had made too merry at q
harvest feast all fall down ON their
backs, get up again and fall down again
In the same manner. He had never
witnessed anything of the like kind
before, and was not little amazed as
we'll as amused. The farmer, who was
9 very shrewd. Herefordshire man, told
him that that was the effect invariably
produced by perry, of which his men
had that day partaken literally. He
has since that time seen several isolated
cases which have corroborated the far
mer's version of the action of an over
dose Of perry or cider"

He Knew All About II.

Some time ago.a gentleman was going
from Boston to Albany, and on his
journey got into conversation with
young man, divinity student, who
was travelling the same way. Some
thing was said about drinking, when
the divinity student said: ~ am only

Tell me anything about that. l know

The gentleman showed interest in
the young mans appearance, and he
continued: "When l was eighteen

books in O mercantile house. In the
boarding house where / boarded were
four young men, We became compan-
ions. They all drank and invited to

"And will you tell me-" said the gen.
teman, "what has become of your
clearinghouse friends"
"Three of Them" said the young
man, fare in drunkarks' graves, and
the fourth in prison."
