Alcohol as a Remedy.

do not intend to deny that the use
of mild alcoholic tonics, as a substitute
for the frightful remedies of the medi@-
val Sangrados, is n decided improve
ment, but, still, it is only a lesser evil,
a first step of a progressive reform.
Alcohol fingers in our hospitals as
slavery fingers in the West Indies, as
the witchcraft delusion fingers in South
ern Europe. Has alcohol any remedial
value whateverp Let us consider the
matter from a purely empirical stand
point. Does alcohol protect from ma
larial feversp 1t is q well-known fact
the human organism cannot support
two diseases at the same time. Rheu-
matism can be temporarily relieved by
producing an artificial inflammation; a
headache yields to severe toothache.
For the same reason the dtcOhoL-teUer
affords temporary protection from
other febrile symptoms. e., man
may fortify his system against chills
and ague by keeping himself constant
ly under the stimulating influence of
alcohol. But sooner or later stimula-
ton is followed by depression, and
during that reaction the other fever
gets chance, and rarely misses it.
The history of epidemics proves that
pyretic diseases are from eiQht to taOetre
times more destructive among dram
drinkers than among the temperate
classes; rich or poor, young or old, alb
stainers are only centesindted by dis
eases that decimate drunkards. On no
other point is the testimony of physi-
clans of all schools, all times, and all
countries, more consistent and unani-
nous.
Is alcohol a peptic stimulantp No
more than Glaubers salt or castor oil.
The system hastens to rid itself of the
noxious substance, the bowels are thrown
into state of morbid activity only to
relapse into \ morbid inactivity. The
effect of every laxative is followed by a
stringent reaction, and the habitual use
of peptic stimulants leads to chronic
constipation which yields only to purga-
tives of the most virulent kind.
Does alcohol impart strength Does
it benefit the exhausted systemp If a
worn-out horse drops on the highway,
we can rouse it by sticking knife into
its ribs, but, after staggering ahead for
couple of minutes, It will drop again,
and the second delinQsin, will be worse
than the first by just as much as the
brutal stimulus has still further ex-
hausted the little remaining strength.
In the same way precisely alcohol
rallies the exhausted energies of the
human body. The PROSTATE vitality
rises against the foe, and labors with
restless energy till the poison is ex-
PEELED. Then comes the reaction, and,
before the patient can recover, his or
ganism has to do double work. Nature
has to overcome both the original
cause of the disease and the effect Of
the stimulant-- Science MONTHLY.

propose to offer some general consid-
erations that weigh strongly against it.
The schools are utilitarian in their
aim; to fit the child for living success
fully is the object of their existence.
Az animal strength is the foundation of
ali moral and physical welfare, and is
the chief condition OF success in all the
pursuits of life, the future welfare of
the child in every way depends upon
the normal development of his body
An etfeminate man is half sick; and
when 1t comes to any of the severer
trials of life, either physical or moral,
where great endurance or courage is
required, the weakest must inevitably
be the first TO succumb. This is as true
of moral trials as of physical, for moral
cowardice often results from physical
feebleness. 1t is to be doubted if any
thing that is taught in the schools is of
SO much value to a child that it would
not better be foregone than to be OBJ
tanned by the loss of any physical vigor
whatever. Taken in the truest sense,
tudV Clty has buc DcSb SCuOOlS WHcIt lIlc
school restraints have least effect upon
the physical growth and normal devel-
opment of the pupils, and not the one
where the pupils show the greatest pro-
ficiency in acquiring in memortter
way few fragments of conventional
facts which happen irrationally to pass
current for an education. But because
in so many schools the test to be APP
piled at the end of the term, or at the
course, is the memoriter one, and be-
cause no teacher expects her pupils to
be examined as to their health, OF as to
whether they are forming habits of life
that will be conducive to healthfulness
it is not to be wondered at that all the
plans of the teacher look more to the
development of conventional proficiency
than to the infinitely more important
matter of health.-Pop. Sol. Monthly.

Fast Ocean Mails-How They Will be
Carried.

Postmaster-G General Fawcett announ.
ces that it is not intended by the En-
glish Government after August, 1884,
to renew the present contracts for the
conveyance of mails between Great
Britain and the United States. The
mails thereafter will be dispatched, as
now, thrice weekly from Queenstown,
but instead of making long contracts
the department will month by month
select the most efficient vessels for their
transportation.
POSTMASTER PEARsON's OPINION.
Postmaster Pearson, of New York,
said in reference to the above cable dis
patch: THE change proposed, when it
was put into effect, would be Of the
greatest possible service to the mercan-
tile community of the country. BY the
present system the merchant received
the freight by fast-sailing steamer
and his invoices by slower steamer,
the consequence of which was great de-
lay and pecuniary loss. He had no
doubt that the English Postoffice De-
partment had been stimulated to make
this change by the action taken during
the last few months by the Postoflice
Department of this country, which had
ordered the dispatch of all matter to
Europe by the steamers making the
shortest voyages. The British mer-
chants had seen the great advantages
that had resulted from this order and
memorialized the postal authorities in
England to adopt similar practice. !"
THE AMERICAN SYSTEM.
The American system selects the yes
sci which is likely to deliver the mails
on the other side at the earliest posi-
BILE moment without regard to the dates
of departure Of other vessels. For in

FLINT-sToNE SOUP.

A good story is told of two SOL
diers, one of whom went without
broth, while the other made it Of
excellent quality of aint-stone.
The first begged at every door of a
whole village which they had just
entered for all the materials Of
simple broth; but the villagers told
him he asked too much, and shut
their doors in his face.
His comrade, however, picked up
a stone, knocked at the nearest
door, and asked if they would be
SO good as to. oblige him with a pot
in which to boil the stone. Even q
miser would have granted so modest
a request. They lent him the pot,
and soon the willy soldier was boil
ing large stone under the curious
eyes of half dozen bystanders.
'Could one of you give me a lit
tie salt?" the cook asked. The
salt was given.
A minute later, he observed,
"a few herbs make a pleasant
seasoning for stone soup, but /
must manage for once to relish
without a perfect flavor. In q
trice, one Of the spectators threw a
bundle Of herbs in the pot, saying,
$50 clever a fellow should have soup
to his taste, when he shows us how
to make it of a stone"
A few minutes later, the adven-
turer remarked, "Stone broth is
good, but there is no question that
a scrap of beef or bacon brings out
the flavor of the flint" Another
kind spectator at once supplied
him with piece of bacon. Half
an hour had not passed since his
arrival in the village when the SOL
dier was enjoying an excellent and
substantial repast made of the ma
terial for the improvement of his
broth.

repeated, raising his voice with the
stupid anger of intoxication.
Still, in spite Of threat and re-
fusal, the child persisted in plead
ing that his father should 60 home;
but ms words only seemed to
strengthen the mans obstinacy,
and all the boy could do was to get
his father to turn aside from the
high road into a field close by,
where the man threw himself full
at length on the grass, somewhat
under the shade of the hedge and
In q few minutes he was sleeping
heavily, whilst the child sat down
at little distance, with strange
kind of unchildish patience on his
features, to wait until his father
shoulds:wake. Poor little Charlie
he knew too well how useless any
attempt on his part would be to
rouse his father from that sort of
sleep.
Rather more than half an hour
had passed in this dreary waiting,
and Charlie was beginning to find
all his email sources of amusement
fail him. He had watched q large
bee that kept lowering ever the con-
volSuiIs blossoms in the hedge,
and wondered if he had not nearly
finished his days work; had placed
a snail out Of harms way, and had
been tempted to chase beautiful
painted butterfly that fitted past
him; but he began at last to lose
his interest in bees and butterflies
for it was now tea-time, and Char.
lie was growing terribly hungry.
Still he did not think of deserting
his post, for no one but the child
himself knew how often he had kept
his tipsy father off the country road
when carts or carriages were com.
ing along, nor how he managed to
guide him in safety over the narrow
bridge that led across the river to
their cottage.
So Charlie sat there quietly,
though he was growing more tired
and hungry every moment, until
the sound Of whistle at distance
attracted his attention, the sound
gradually coming nearer and sound
ing more distinct, until young
man jumped over the stile at the
end of the field and approached the
