Alcohol has the effect of causing the red
corpuSclcS to run together and cIor
ms mniShes the sur ace OF the re9J
particles of the blood, and so reduras
the supply OF oxygen to the body.
The gain to digestion rom Alcohol is
only temporary. Although if stimulates
an extra secre ion of gastric iuice for
the time be nc, it reduces the REGULAR
supply OF that article, so that at the newt
meal there is q smaller supply, and
nothing is gained. So, too. althourb
the first effect OF alcohol is to send the
blood to the sur ace and produce a
genial glow, yet this heat is lost rom
the surface at the pense of the vital
parts. Hence it is that the warmth
caused by alcohol is generally followed

but it is followed by corresponding

true OF mental activity. The cain is

Alcohol interieres with the getting rid

feeling of atigue for the time beinr,

by rest and recuperation. The waste

The Secret of Making Mummies.

Two Pennsylvanians have applied at
the Patent Office for patent on a re-
Gently discovered process of preserving
the dead, supposed to be the long-lost
Egyptian art. 1t is claimed that partly
by accident and finally by experiment,
they have discovered certain combina-
ton of antiseptic elements which, if
dilf'used through dead body, even when
it is in an advanced stage of decomposi-
ton, will destroy all corfuptible matter
and convert tho flesh into cartilaginous
state, the denser parts, such rs the gristly
part of the ear, being converted into u
hard, horny substance, but natural in
appearance. In one of their experiments
the inventors, by the aid of electricity,
applied the compound to the body of q
dead infant. Ten weeks after the body
had been removed from all contact with
the compound the flesh had become like
rubber; the cheeks were full and plant
to the touch, and the ears had become
like polished horn. There was not the
slightest odor, and the corpse seemed to
have no more properties of decomposi-
ton than rubber doll. Whether the
body will remain in the plant state or
whether it will become hard like horn as
the denser parts now are, will probably
take more than one lifetime to determine,

The Discouraged Man.

A newspaper once contained an adver-

a deep worldly wisdom in this, SAYS the

q terrible drawback in fighting lfe's
battle. The discouraged man is defeated
in advance. He carries failure about
with him; he faints when he needs most
to be strong; he falters where decision is
most needed; he halts where he ouoht to
hurry forward; he cannot stand nm

1t IS hard that it should be so-horder

THE NEW YEAR.

O, the new year, glad and free,
Fearless, fearless, careless, bold,
Light of every home is he,
Pride of all the young and old;
Everything is filled with life,
Every heart is full of cheer,
Every business has its strife,
In the active, glad New Year.
In the busy halls of trade,
In the rumbling rolling mill,
Where commercial gains are made,
And the wheels are never still;
Into mansions grand and high,
Into novels low and brown,
Cleans the same light from the sky,
Comes the New Years blessing down
Bells from every church and tower
Peal aloud their sllvery notes,
Telling of the New Years power
From their noisy, brllen thrOats;
Tell of joy through all the land,
Tell of coming days of gold,
TellOf peace on every hand,
Tell of shepherds in the fold.
Joyous, jovial, happy year,
Chasing gloom and doubt away,
Bringing light and love and cheer
out of darkness into day,
Glad we hail thy crimson light,
Hail it with the harp of praise,
Hail it by our firesides bright,
Through the coming endless days
Like the falling Of the dew
On the wthered grass and flower,
Like the sunShinh of the true
Into hearts grown Old and sour,
Like an G lglG in its tiight
Over billtOps bright and clear,
Comes the gentle morning light
Of the joyous, glad Y wv Year.

Economy in TeIegraphing.

There are 100000 registered adj
dresses kept by the Anglo-Ameriean
Direct United States, American Tele-
graph, and French, cable companies,
which are managed by the Western
Union Telegraph Company. Those ad-
dresses comprise the names of the princi-
pal business firms sending and receiving
cable dispatches in this country. TO
each of these registered addresses is APP
pended one word, which represents it
in all cable messages. This one word
is always tclegraphed instead of the'ad-
dress. One object of this registration is
to save the expense of telegraphing.
AS the cost of cable dispatches is fifty
cents a word, it will readily be seen
that very considerable amount is saved
when, as in some cases, as many as
thirty messages a day are sent both
ways. A firm of both names would
thus save nearly 500 day. Another
object is to secure the utmost certainty
of prompt delivery. Much money is
also saved in telegraphing, not only by
cable but by land lines, in the use of
codes. All the leading branches of
business have these codes, by means of
which long messages may be sent by
the use of few words. There is no
extra charge for sending code messages
by cable, as the words are always those
that may be found in the dictionary But
there are many cipher dispatches sent
composed Of letters or figures. These are
charged extra by counting three letters
or figures TO each word. A leading
telegrapher said yesterday that were it
not for the adoption of these eXpcdents
in would be simply impossible to do the
business OF telegraphing. There would
not be time to do the work with present
facilities Y. Sun.
