Transmission Of the Evils OF
incompetence.

1t is scarcely necessary to accumulate
proof in support of the assertion that,
of all the single causes of insanity,
hahitual incompetence is the most
potent aud aggrayates all the rest.
But beyond this it has special
tendency to produce idiocy, or mental
debility, in the offspring. The chill
dren of hahitual drunkards inherit Il
prcdispOsition to insanity, as well as IL
proneness to Incorporate habits. This
fact comes down to us sanctioned by
the authority of antiquity. Thus
Plutarch SAYS Zone drunkard begets
another = and Aristotle remarks that
drunken women bring forth children
like unto themselves"
Dr.. W. \. +. Browne, of the CrichtOn
lunatic asylum, makes the following
statements -
The druukard not only Injuries his
own nervous system, but entails men
tai disease upon his family. His
daughters are nervous and hysterical /;
his sons are weak, wayward, eccentric,
and sink insane under the pressure of
excitement, OF of ordinary calls of
duty.
In report on Idiocy, made some
years since to the Massachusetts legis-
lature. DR.. Howe said The habits of
the parents OF 300 of the idiots were
learned, and AS, or nearly one half,
are reported to he known as habitual
drunkards. In one case both parents
were drunkards, and had seven idiotic
children.

Manufacture Of Matches.

1t is very remarkable that large for
tunes are made in the manufactures of
an article so insignificant in value as
matches, which are sold at the rate of
a hundred for cent and even less. but
so it is. The business now is chiefly
mOnopolized by firms representing a
large amount of capital The oldest
and largest match factory is said to be
at Jonkoping, Sweden. Ii was estab-
lished one hundred years ago. and
there are now to he seen specimens of
the matches used ut the beginning of
the present century, consisting of big
fagOts of wood furnished with a handle
and tip to dip in a bath of sulphur
The wood from which the present kind
of matches are made is taken from the
adjacent forests, which are divided in
to fifty sections. Every year one sec
ton is cut and then replanted with
young trees. The trees are hewn into
planks in the forest and cut into sliv-
ers in the factory. The boxes are
made of the outside of the trees. The
factories are on the banks of lakes,
which are connected with one another
by wide canals. Millions of matches
are turned out daily.

Organ Grinders Profits.

You sympathetic ladies who send
nickels and silver pieces by servant
to the poor organ grinder who stands
at your door, or who throw down to
him from an upper window pennies
wrapped in thick paper, may like to
know how much a man gets in the
course of the day, and what he does
with his money. For the latter, he
does not spend more than a seventh
part of it. He puts it in bag, and
then in a long, low chest in his room,
to save till he has enough to go back to
southern Italy and live at ease. More
often he joins every night select
club of fellow countrymen, who stack
up their organs at the end of the room,
aud gamble, gamble the pennies away
in long aud delicious excitement. How
much, think you, does he earn More
than a carpenter, OF a bricklayer. or a
policeman, or a pOStman, or a sales
mau in store, who wears gloves and
silk hat. He averages 81 a day. He
labors Systematically, and has his reg
ular beat, and his varied art to extract
the penny from persons of each class
he plays before. As he expressed him
self in a moment of rare expansiveness,
he plays "on 200 blocks every day,

A Caution Worth Needing.

VIII you allow me to caution the
public against such a free use of acid
phosphate as seems to be now the fash
ion. 1t is doing an immense deal of
harm to the teeth of those using it.
Hardly ii day passes but that one or
more cases come under my observation
where the i'll effect of this acid is clear
ly marked. One person who has taken
it for several years, has had during
that time much more trouble VII his
teeth than formerly, and at the present
time they appear to be dissOlving away
before it like Jumps of sugar in water.
The symptoms are usually an acute
sensitiveness at the necks of the teeth
to the touch or to cold air or water.
This is followed by general uneasiness
and pain in the teeth.
II it is necessary to use the acid
phosphate or any other acid for the
general health, | would recommend
that it be Immediately followed by
thorough rinsing of the mouth with
lime water, OF soda and water, and
that this be invariably repeated just
before retiring ut night. Lime water
can be obtained of any druggist, and
soda water made by putting n half
teaspoonful of cooking soda into
small glass of water Boston Journal.

Advice From a Good source.

Young men, you are the architects of
your own fortunes. Rely on your
strength of body and soul. Take for
your star, self-reliance. Inscribe on
your banner, "Luck is a fool, Pluck is
IA hero" Don't take too much advice
keep at your helm and steer your
own ship, and remember that the great
art of commanding, is to take a fair
share of the work. Think well of
yourself, but not too we'll. Strike out.
Assume your own position. Put pO-
tatoes in a cart on a rough road, and
the small ones go to the bottom. Rise
above the envious and jealous. Fire
above the mark you intend to hit.
Energy, invincible determination, are
the levers that move the world. Don't
drink. Don't chew. Don't smoke.
Don't swear. Marry when you can
support wife, not before, but don't
wait to get rich, if you can find good
one. Don't deceive. Be in, earnest.
Be generous. Be civil. Read the pa
pers. Advertise your business. Make
money and do good with it. Love God
and your fellow-men. Love truth and
virtue. Love your country and obey
its laws President Porter, Yale Col
lege.

Reminds Him of a story.

Ex-Governor Buffers farewell gift
of a Bible to Massachusetts reminds a
writer in the Washington Post of the
time when Mr.. Bell, on becoming gov
ernor of Texas, began his inaugural
address with, "FellOw citizens In the
chaste and beautiful language of Job,
Now is the winter of our discomfort
made glorious summer by this sun of
York." The result of this remarkable
pronunciamento was that the governor
was overwhelmed with gifts of Bibles
from every state and from foreign
lands. Bibles in English, Latin,
French, Russian and Hindu; illus
ted, illuminated, polyglot, hieroglyph-
ic: bound in paper, leather, velvet :;
sent by mail, by express, by freight,
by special messenger. Another result
was that from Galveston to the Pan
Handle almost every man, woman and
child got Bible and a copy of Shake
speare and ''read up" until Richard
III and Job became the best known
and most talked about men in the
state.

Effects Of Moderate Drinking
upon Brain-W Workers..

An habitual system of Over-eXertiOn

tanned for a longer time, by some per
sons. with the assistance of alcoholic
stimulants, than without them. The
delnsion is thus kept up that the
strength is not over-taXed. The fact
is, on the contrary, that the prolonga-
tiun of the term of Over-eXertion, by
the repeated application of the stimu-
lus. Is really eXpeuding more and more
nf the powers of the nervous system,
and preparing for Il more complete
prnstration at later period. The
temporary advantage is very dearly
purchased. The mau who habitually
ahstains from artificial provocatives of
mental activity is early warned, by
stomach and brain, that he is over
tasking himself \ short period of
rest and change is usually sufficient
for the recovery of mental and bodily
vigOr. But the case is very different,
when the effort has been sustained by
the delusive support afforded by alco
holic liquors. For as the excessive eX-
penditure of nervous power has been
greater. so is the exhaustion more COM
plete. As the stomach has been longer
over-eXcited its tone is the more seri-
ously injured. Thus, then, though the
consequences of habitual over-exertiOn
may be less speedily felt when the
stomach is kept up, by alcoholic stimu-
lants, to IA state of extraordinary activ-
ity, vt when the crisis does come the
length of time required for the cure is

struck the drug store with such force
that it cleaved its way through it like
an axe through a muslin sheet. There
was a sudden crash, loud cry, fall,

the groans of the injured ones. The
people who had been standing on the

had fallen upon the rocks and snow,

bodies crushed almost out of human

Temperance in the Senate.

The temperance question came up
the other day in the National Senate
III a manner which at least served to
define more clearly than ever the po-
sition of two leading Senators on the
subject.
Senator Frye of Maine is chairman
of the committee of Rules. True to
the prohibition sentiments of his state
he took care to include in the joint
rules one prohibiting the sale of spir
ituous OF malt liquors in the capitol
building. When the rules came up for
consideration, Senator Bayard of Del
aware, the liquor dealers uDtailing ad-
vocate. pounced upon this one and We
hcmently objected to making it so
stringent as to exclude not only
stronger liquors, but beer. Mr.. Frye
quite a. urgently defended the rule.
Said he II have seen restaurant of
one OF these houses become an open,
notorious, low, miserable GROCERY.
/ have also seen man with his panta-
looms inside his boots and with his
coarse blouse OF standing at the res
taurant of one of the houses of Con
gress drinking miserable whisky out
of cup. have seen whisky ordered
again and again and called tea" and
brought aud served in a cup and sau-
Ger. Anybody-w whether "A member of
Congress or otherwise can sit down,
order his tea and drink it out of ii
cup" Ito me" he continued, "wheth-
cr there is anything wrong in it or not,
there is something utterly disgusting
about it, and it is entirely unbecoming
the character and dignity of the capitol
of the United States.
Nh. Bayard offered an
amendment changing words "spir-
ituous and malt to Intoxicating"
Mr.. Frye said that would he acceptable
to him as it was the language of the
prohibtory statute i'll Maine, and in
this form the rule was passed. Why
Nh. Ba, ard should prefer the word in
tOxicating can only be known to him
self and his friends, the liquor sellers.
Probably it was to permit the cOnven-
lent claim 50 often offered by liquor
men in court that certain malt liquors
are not Intoxicating New York Wit
