Maiaccan Elephants, Monkeys and Liz.
ards.

1t is satisfactory to read that the ele-
phant, SO near determination in Africa
through the pursuit of the ivory trade,
is still plentiful in these forest covered
interiors, though novelty seemed its
only recommendation to Miss Bird as a
beast of burden. Half ton is consid-
cred sufficient load for one if it be of
metal, but if more bulky, from four to
six hundred weight. In passing
through the forest an elephant always
puts his foot into the hole that another
elephants s foot has made. They have
the greatest horror of anything that
looks like a fence; and slight one
made of reeds usually keeps them out of
padi, cane and maize plantations. Tho
insect which can draw blood from the
wrinkled hide of an elephant is curious
ly small. The boiled or stewed trunk
of the latter, we arc told tastes much
like beef .-r ..t
A most tender account is given OF
the living and dying of a tame monkey,
which Miss Bird believes to be an
.agile gibbon-a creature SO delicate
that it has never yet survived a voyage
to England; and c,uriously human are
the differences in disposition between
different species of monkeys which she
observes. When tanned by living with
Eernpeans these apes acquire great
aversion to Malays.
Some sman hright-eyed lizards whicn

Alcohol as a Remedy in Disease.

do not intend to deny that the Use
of mild alcoholic tOnicS. as Il substitute
for the frightful remedies of the me-"
dicval Sangrados. is a decided improve
mcnt, but, still, it Is only Il lesser evil, Il
first step of Il progressive reform, AL
cohol fingers in our hospitals as slavery
fingers in the West Indies, as the witch
craft deluSion fingers in Southern Eu-
rope. Has alcohol any remedial value
whatever? Let us consider the matter
from a purely empirical standpoint.
Does alcohol protect from malarial fc-
vers? 1t is Il wcll-knOwn fact that the hui
man organism can not support two dis
easesat the same time. Rheumatism can
be temporarily relieved by producing an
artificial inflammation; a headache
Yields to a severe tooth-ache. For the
same reason the nlcOhO'-tcrer affords a
temporary protection from other fcbrilc
Svmptoms-i. e., a man might fortify
his system against chills and ague hy
keeping himself constantly under the
stimulating influence of alcohol. But
sooner or later stimulation is followed
by depression, and during that reaction
the other fever gets n chance, and rare
ly misses it. The history of epidemics
proves that pyret;c diseases are from
ciQht to tWelro times more destructive
among dram-drinkers than among the
temperatei GLASSES: rich or poor. young.or
old. abstaincrs are only centcSininfcd by
diseases that decimatc drInkards. On
no other point is the testimony of physi-
clans of all schools, all times and all cOun-
tries more consistent and unanimous.
Is alcohol Il peptic stimulantP No
more than Glaubcr' 's-salt or castor-Oll.
The system hastcns to rid itself Of the
noxiors 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 a chronic constipation which
yields only to purgatives of the most
virulent kind.
Docs alcohol impart strength? Docs
it benefit the exhausted SYSTEM II
worn-out horse drops on tho highway
we can rouse it by sticking knife into
its ribs, but, after staggering ahead Tor
a couple of minutes, it will drop again,
and the second dciiYuiw'n will be worse
than the first by just as much as the
brutal stimulus has still further cX-
hausted the little remaining strength.
In the same way precisely alcohol raj
lies the exhausted energies of the hui
man body. The PROSTATE vitality rises
against the foe, and lahorS with res less
energy until the poison Is expelled.
Then comes the reaction; ami before the
patient can recover his organism has to
do double work. Nature has to over
come both the original cause of the dis
ease and the effect of the stimulant.-

Il DRUNK1RVS REMORSE.

On the 1st of August last, there died at sgd
ney, Australia, in the fortieth year of his age,
Henry Clarence Kendall. one of the finest
poets the Australian colonies ever produced.
But alas! the light of his genius was ciouded
by the vice of intemperance. According to
biographical sketch in the Melbourne Rcuier,
of hereditary alcoholism. In his latter years
he tried to depict the remorse that sat upon
his mind like II curse AT his wifc's request"

entreaty that it should be printed unaltered

life. we find these touching stanzas:
" No tear at alfis asked for him

But voices will culver, eyes grow dim.
For her, the patient, pure young wifo;
The gentle girl of better days.
As timid as Il mountain fawn,
Who used to choose untrOddcn ways,
And place at night her rags in pawn.

Steal out at nights through courts unclean,
To hunt abour for chips of wood.

Who used down fetid lanes to stink,
And drown his Uhoszehts in dregs of drink?

Hedges Along Highways.

There are frequent appeals IN aSrlcul-
tural and political papers for farmers to
set out hedges, wind breaks and shade
trees along the public highways in our
bleak prairies to protect the roads from
the winds and storms of the winter.
There are two sides to this question. In
other wears the idea of roads protected
from winds and storms was glorious
one. But the fast-growing hedges OF
willow, soft maple, cottonwood. etc,
have soon overshadowed the roads,
shutting out the sun and causing them
to remain soft and muddy. In many
cases they do not dry between the rains.
making travel difficult and dlsagreea-
bic 1t is becoming serious question:
so much so that there Is talk OF appeal
ing to the Legislature for law Pro1ld-
inc that hedges along public highways
shall not be allowed to grow more than
eight or ten feet high.
In the efforts for protection from tho
winter storms in town. and country
there has been too little practical sense
exercised. MANY streets and lots are
so tbickIy shaded as to make the resi-
depces damp and injurious TO health.
The same is the case about farm houses.

thrust it back among social questions if

of the cause of Temperance as "a great

bushel he can insure clean wheat for

some good. But the farmers can do
something to prevent the seeding of
their land with those foul seeds.
Many feed these seeds to their stock
and great number pass whole into the

that stock of any kind will reject ell

would be to either cook thoroughly or
