AUSTIN. WEDNESDAY,, MARCH II, 1885,.
DID Won ever see the tide come in?

DID you ever see the tide come in? A
wave rolls upon the beach, and then re-
cedes; it does not reach your boat as it
lies upon the sand; another one comes,
this time little higher; not yet can you
float off on its breast. 1t seems to US as
though the tide would never reach US, as
we see the waves fall back. But it will
surely come. After the deepest trough
comes the highest wave; the liking wave"
rides still further up the beach. God is
directing the march of progress of this.
the grandest nation under the sun. Moral
warfare is waged as any other warfare ls;
it meets with successes and reverses, it
GIBBS and flows, but MONDAY never stays
for bats and owls, and truths clear light
shall yet arise and sinner. We vainly hop
ed to see our Minnesota Legislature take
hold of the high license bill before it, and
without dissenting voice, give it to this
DESTROYS people. Give it to the drunkard's
wife and the drunkard's child, as sort of
paving stone, whereon they might build
with some ray of hope for brighter days.
Our legislators can see the bleaching
bones and hollow skulls of the victims of
this dreadful traffic all about them, and
yet they have refused to grant US even
this slight benefit. But they cannot stay
this mighty tide; the liking wave" is rid
ing toward US. Temperance is sure to
win, for Goods tide is coming in"

Heart Beats.
DR.. N. B. Richardson, of London, says
he was recently able to convey u con-
siderable amount of conviction to an in
telllgent scholar by simple experiment.
The scholar was singing the praises of the
'ruddy bumper" and saying he could
not get through the day without it, when
Dr. Richardson said to him: "'Will YOU
be good enough to feel my pulse as stand
here?' Hc did so. l said, Count it care
fully; what does it say?' Your pulse
says a. then sat down in a chair, and
asked him to count it again. He did so.
and said, Your pulse has gone down to
TO- 1 then lay down on the lounge, and
said, Will you take it again? He replied:
Why, it is only 81; what an extraordinary
thlngr then said: When you lie down
at night, that is the way nature gives your
heart rest. You know nothing about it,
but that beating organ is resting to that
extent, and if you reckon it up it is a
great deal of rest, because in lying down
the heart is doing ten strokes less min
ute. Multiply that by sixty, and it is six
hundred; multiply it by eight hours. and
within fraction it is five thousand
strokes different; and as the heart is
throwing six ounces of blood at every
stroke, 1t makes difference of thirty
thousand ounces of lifting during the
night. When lie down at night with
out any alcohol, that is the rest my heart
gets. But when you take your wine or
grog you do not allow that rest, for the
influence of alcohol is to increase the
number of strokes, and instead of getting
this rest, you put on something like if
teen thousand extra strokes, and the re
suit is, you rise up very seedy and unfit
for the next days work till you have
taken little more of the rudy bumper.
which you say is the soul Of man below. !"

THE medical examiner of one of the
largest life insurance companies in this
country scouts the idea that malt liquors
arc harmless or helpful. He says that
statistics prove that life is much short
ened by even moderate drinking. and
adds:
This rule applies to the use Of malt
liquors as we'll as to spirituous liquors.
Tie fact is. that drinkers of malt liquors
take more spirits than the ordinary drink
ers of alcoholics, insomuch as beer is a
seductive drink. and it is necessary to
take a larger amount Of malt liquors to
get the equivalent IN effect of one or two
drinks of ordinary spirits"
The rule of his company, he says, is
'snever to insure an individual who is an
habitual user of liquors"

DIR. G. T. CAMPBELL mas some very in
tcresting computations in the sick rate
and also in the death rate published in
the Popular Science Aonthly, on the ex.
pericnce of the Odd Fellows. He says
the Odd Fellows are the oldest and largest
benefit society in North America, the
order having been in operation for sixty
four years and the present membership
being half million. A sound physical
condition is requisite for admission, and
they must be men Of good moral char
acter. The average death rate for the
past nine years has been less than one
in hundred. the highest death rate be-
ing in the South-generally about twice
as high. The statistics also show that as
with the death rate so also with the sick
rate, much the higher in the South.
