Pics AS DRUNKARDs.-Men OF
low intellectual! endowment with
taste for strong drink will derive
much comfort from the result of one
of the latest experiments which at
suggestion Of the ex-Brandy King
Of Sweden, the French Temperance
Society has been making on the
alcoholization Of pigs. The expert
ments when were commenced in 1879
on number Of pigs of the so-called
Anglo Chinese breed have been con-
tinued ever since. Each pig was
kept in a separate sty, but twice a
day they were all fed together in an
adjoining yard. Alcohol was MKT
with their food, and after each
neal they all fell into deep sleep,
but showed no signs of excitement,
except now and then slight mus
cular trembling. The difference of
the effect of alcohol on human brain
and pigs is believed to arise from
for the larger the brain the more
dangerous the effect of intoxication.
Hence, although the companion Of
St. Anthony may occasionally in
dulge in their taste for juniper, they
are in no danger Of being attacked
by delirium tremens.
