New Conditions Affecting Life in France.

NJ. A. Legoyt has continued his views of
the movement of population in France,
with study of the vital statistics of the
nation for 1879. The population of
the country continues to increase, but at q
constantly diminishing rate. The hygionic
condition OF the people has been improved
by the prevalence ofigreater case in living,
the spread of vaccination, and increased
scientific exactness in the healing art; but
new causes of mortality, incontestably
grave, have been introduced. The chief of
these is the excessive use of alcoholic drinks,
signalized by the more general consump-
ton of liquors distilled from grain aud the
bset-root, taking the place of wine, which
10 likely to increase if the ravages of the
phyloxera continue. 1t is also marked by
an increase of arrests for intoxication, Of
persons found dead, and of suicides, trace
able to this cause. The number of suicides
has almost quadrupled since 1927, while
the population has increased only ono-fifth.
The growth Of mental diseases is also detri.
mental to public health and longevity. A
new cause Of mortality worthy of attention
Is discontinued increase in the prices Of the
uscsssaries Of life, accompanied by de-
crease in the rate of interest on invested
funds. The population decreased in 1879
in twsnty-six departments, most of which
were in Southern France, where distress
was occasioned by the ravages Of the phyl-
eoxsrs. In details, the vital reports for 1879
show slight increase of marriages, few
less births, few more deaths, than were
rsturnsd in 1873, aud decrease in the ex.
cess Of births, over deaths, which was al
ready ANAL enough. No direct regular

Didn't Want to 90 TO Heaven.

Not far from Hartwell, on the
Carolina side of the river, revi, al
meeting was going on at a country
church. A party Of young men
were engaged in a railroad survey
aud could not attend meeting in
daytime, but went at night. After
a stormy sermon from the preacher,
who gave a vived description OF hell,
its climate and inhabitants, followed
by a red.bot exhortation from one
of the brethren, they literally storm
ed the fort. One of the railroad
fellows was sitting in the back end
of the church, and the preacher went
up to him and said: Don't yoa
want 10 60 TO HeavenY' "No,- he
replied. This Mortified the preach
er, and he said to the congregation:
"FIere is q Young man who says he
doesn't want to 60 to Heaven; now

How to Cure a Drunkard.

A man who has an almost ire.
sistible craving for intoxicating
liquor, wrote to New York paper
a few days ago for cure for his
weakness. Among the remedies
suggested by other correspondents
of the same journal were these:
"For the benefit of IT. j. b. I
give the following prescription,
which is from an eminent English
doctor: Sulphate of iron, 5 grains;
magnesia. 10 grains; peppermint
water, III drachms; spirits Of nut
meg, drachm. To he taken twice
day. Ii he does not feel wonder.
fully relieved by the above he is
different from any other who has
tried it. 1t ia sure cure.n
al would advise IT. j. b. to dip
his food in a glass of whisky and eat
t. After he has tried this remedy
for week, let him give his expe-
rience for the benefit of other un-
forinnates."
Take one pound of fresh quill
red Peruvian bark, powder it aud
soak it in Zone pint Of diluted
alcohol. Aiterward strain aud
evaporate it down to half q pint.
Dose, teaspoonfui every three
hours the first and second days,
and occasionally moisten the tongue
between the doses. 1t acts like
quinine, and the patient can tell BY
headache if hegets too much.
The third day take IA previous, but
reduce to one half tesspoonful.'

Dogs as Drunkards.

The fact that even dogs are in.

to many who hold Them in high rs

ard. He has gotten so addicted TO
drinking that he resorts to all sorts
OF means to get beer, aud sometimes
shows great cunning in getting a
drink of his favOrile beverage. The
fact had become generally SHOWN,
aud yesterday several gentlemen
determined TO watch him. Every
morning Mr.. Wyman sets his emp
tied beer kegs out on the sidewalk
for the collector, aud leaves the
bupg out, there being always more
or less beer in the bottom of each
keg. AS soon us the kegs were set
down and the proprietor gone inside
the saloon the dog approached from
his post of observation, and after
smelling the kegs with the air of
connoisscur, selected the one which
he seemed TO think contained the
most beer, and putting one of his
paws against it, pushed the keg
over. He then proceeded to push
the keg until il got close to the edge
of the cHrbst0He: and, turning the
bung down. got out into the street,
and as the beer ran out cageily lap.

ed until every kcg had been drain.
ed, aud after licking the edges OF
the kegs he dog trotted off, evident.
~ not having gotten enough. This
process the dog repeats every day,
aud sometimes more beer is left in
the kegs for his benefit, and he gets
beas,ly drunk. Drinking, however,
seems to agree with him, as he is
very tat and sleepy looking.
This instance brings to mind an
other case of II dog in indianapolis
which was very much addicted 10
