alcoholic drinks. In a certain town in
Russia persons given to drinking were
swept away like flies" Drnnkards
and tipplers were searched Dub with
such unerring certainty as to show that
the arrows of death were not indis-
criminatingly flung Above all things,
it should be remembered that alcohol
has a direct and terrible tendency to
the brain, which it hardens, disturbs
and indames to the extent that men are
robbed of mental power or animalized
or melted to commit inhuman deeds.
These are scientific facts.

The sad-Eyed stranger who Was Look
ing for IA Mate.
He stood with back to the railing on
the ferry dock, bribing the sun to shine
down on his rheumatic points, when a
second man came strolling up, and they
saluted:
"Howdy, Captain?"
"Howdy, Captain?"
They had scarcely started conversation
when the third man appeared, and this
time it was:
Morning, Captain"
Morning, Captain"
Captains White and Smith, good
morning to you"
In the course of three or four min
utes man walked out of saloon a
hundred feet away, and as he came
saunterng down it was:
"Ah-ha, Captainr'
"Hello! Captain"
"Ah! Captain, glad to see you"
Captains Smith, White and Green,
good morning"
The same programme was continued
until seven Captains stood rubbing
their backs on the railing. A stranger
who had observed the various meetings
and heard each man addressed by his
title suddenly began looking around and
making inquiries for the Harbor-
Masters grappling-hoOks.

"Why, being you are all Captains it
is likely the mate fell off the deck before
any of you got here! I'm going to find
one somewhere, even if at the bottom Of
the river!"

The Superintendent of the Massachu-
setts Reformatory Prison has compiled
some startling and instructive statistics
in regard to the drinking habits of the
female prisoners in that institution. 1t
appears that, out of 200 degraded
women, 12S began their ruinous career
with beer, 81 with whisky, 20 with wine,
8 with gin. Ninety-one began at the
house of friends, "a in saloons. Many
of these women began drinking while
employed at the mills, in the neighbor-
ing dram-shops, Beer had been the
most common drink at first, but 18l
had got to use whisky as their favorite,
and some added chloroform to make
the whisky hotter. One strong point
brought out in the recitals of these
wretched women was the sense of utter
hOpelessness as long as they were com
PEELED to meet the ceaseless enticements
OF the bar-room and gin-palace.
The statements of these women
showed what an appalling amount of
tipping goes on even where there are
no overt signs of actual intoxication.
This tipping is practiced by great num-
bers of women. What many affect to
think mere harmless indulgence is the
prolific source of the more developed
evils. In arecent article in the London
Lancct this noteworthy statement is
made:
Alongside of all the teetotalism that
exists, there is an appalling amount of
tipping that does not distinctly intoXi-
cate, but saturates the principal organs
and destroys them more quickly than
would an occasional debauch. IN Y.

There were 1928, 100000 silver dol
lars made in 1888, and but 800 in 1882
The most ancient date is 1894. From
then until 1904 they were coined con-
tinuously. Then skip of thirty-two
years occurred. The trade-dollar is the
only thing that has marred the issue
since 1886, with the exception of 1887,
when none were coined. The silver
dollar of 1904 is the rarest American
coin. But two genuine ones are believed
to exist, and their owners have refused
81 900 each for them. The 1894 dollar
brings $40. Those between 1895 and
1868, SO each; 1886. 81; 1889, with
lying eagle, 1925 each; 1851 and 1852,
535 and $40 respectively; 1858, 1856.
The trade-dollars issued from 1878 to
