WHEN NOT TO DRINK.

Moderate drinkers engaged III pursuits
calling for judgment and acumen, ana
who use liquors during business hours,
end, with scarcely an exception, as nnan-
cial wrecks, however successful they may
be in withstanding the physical conse-
uuences Of their indulgence. Thousands
who retain their health and are never rank
ed as victims of intemperance, lose their
property, wreck their business ana are
thrown into bankruptcy because OF tip
pling habits during business hours: Ihese
men are not drunkards, and only close
observers can detect the influence OF strong
drink in their department; but never
theless liquor gives them false nerve,
makes them reckless, clouds the Judgment,
and soon involves them in bad purchases
worse sales, and ruinous CONTRACTS. soon
er or later it is shown that the habit OF
tjpplipe during business hours is fore
runner of bankruptcy. Let every drlnker
review his business transactions for a
series of wears and answer whether this
statement is not true.
Liouor acts on the brain in the same
manner as chloroform or ether, producing
q stimulation which affects cool thought,
followed by a depression corresponding 10
the amount of the dose. What man would
expect to succeed in business If ne were
accustomed to take, while at work, even
very slight Whiffs of ether, chloroform, or
laughing-gas and keep himselfall the time,
more or less under such becloudlng lnnu-
ences? Such man, even if able to pre-
serve his health, would grow reckless, To-
uuacious. and soon prove no match for
clear headed rival. Liquor is an indispen-
sable ally wherever victims are systemat-
ically fleeced, and its effects are seen also
in the rivalries of legitimate business.
The professional gambler keeps free par,
but never drinks himself when at the
table; and, while sober, clear-headed,
honorable merchant, dealer or operator
would not endeavor to ply his rival with
liouor, he would gain great advantages
from the latter's self-sought indulgence.
Liquor shows it's victims not only IN
saloons and gambling dens,. but aoou5
boards of trade and stock exchanges ana
in every line of business requiring aclear,
cool head. Moderate drinkers who at
tempt to do business with even sllghtly
excited brains are men who are all the
time making losses and going to the wall.

THE MANUFACTURE OF HAIRPINs.-
For wears the English and French con-
trolled the manufacture of hairpins, and
it is only within the last twenty years
that the goods have been produced in this
country to any extent. The machinery
used is of delicate and intricate charac-
ter, as the prices at which pins are sold
necessitates the most rapid and cheapest
process, which can only be secured by au-
tomatic machines. The wire is made ex-
pressly for the purpose, and put up IN
iarpe coils. which are placed on reels, and
the end of the wire placed in clamp,
which carries it to the machine while
Strengthening it; from there it runs in
another machine, which cuts, bends, and
by O delicate and instantaneous process,
sharpens the points. Running at full
speed, these machines will turn out l2O
hairpins every minute. To ecencmize
il is necessary to keep them working
night and day. The difficult part of the
work is the enamelling which is done by
dipping in preparation and baking IN
an oven. Here is where the most con-
slant and careful attention is required, as
the pin must be perfectly smooth and the
enamel have perfect polish. The slight
est particles of dust cause imperfections
and roughness which is Objectionable.
FEES OF DoCToRs.-The Medicinische
Zeitau1g complains that while London has
but one doctor to every 5000 inhabitants
Vienna has one for every 1900, and its
practitioners must put up with smaller
fees. Sir Spencer Wells is cited as reeeiv-
ing s5O. 900 or sec, 900 for a single operation.
In Paris DIR. Pean is mentioned as having
a professional income of $l4O, 600, and DR..
Koeberle, of Strasburg, is stated to have
received q fee of 100000 for attending
Spanish princess.
