ulation which affects cool thought, followed
by depression corresponding to the amount
of the dose. What man would expect to
succeed in business if he were accustomed
to take, while at work, even very slight
whiffs of ether, chloroform or laughing gas
and keep himself all the time, more or less,
under such beclouding infuencess Such
a man, even if able to preserve his health,
would grow reckless, loquacious, and seon
prove no match for a clear headed rival.
Liquor is an indispensable ally wherever VIC
Tins are systematically feeced and its effects
are seen also in the rivalries of legitimate
business.
The professional gambler keeps free bar,
but never drinks himself when at the table;
and, while a sober clear headed, honorable
merchant, dealer or operator would not
endeavor to ply his rival with liquor, he
would gain great advantages from the latter's
self-sought indulgence. Liquor shows its
victims not only in saloons aud gambling
dens, but about boards of trade and stock e1-
changes and in every line of business requir-

who attempt TO do business with even slight
ly excited brains are the men who are all

Journal thinks, the probable causes of these
irregularities.

An astonishing and instructive illustration
of the contagiousness of consumption is re-
corded in a French medical journal. A
young man who had contracted bronchitis
married healthy woman. Within year
he died of consumption; not long afterwards
his widows lungs were found to be fatally
diseased; and their child speedily followed
them. One of their neighbors, a robust
young woman, was suddenly attacked with
the same disease. While she had called
repeatedly at the house of the eonsumptive
family, she had never remained in the sick
room over night; but she had eaten chick
ems which had been killed en- their farm.
As it was reported that several of these
fowls had died previously, the medical al
thorities decided to have other chickens
killed and examined. It was then discov-
cred that the fowls had contracted consump-
ton, their iivers containing the bacilli now
recognized as characteristic of the disease.
These fowls had swallowed the sputa of the
infected family and contracted the disease;
and the unlucky neighbor's daughter, who
had eaten one of the fowls livers, became a
victim in her turn.

THE NATIONAL BANKS.

The national banks have withdrawn and
presented for redemption nearly $40, 600, ,00C
of per cent. bonds since August 10, the
date of the first 100000 call. At the
same rate hereafter it is expected that with
drawals will keep pace very fairly with fu-
ture calls. Against the 3 per cents. with
drawn only about S., 900, 900 of other bond.
have been deposited, so that the total bonds
on deposit to secure national bank circula-
tion have been reduced about $31 900, 900,
which contracts the circulation by about
$2S, 000,0 IF these proportions are pre-
served throughout the changes resulting
may be further contraction of about $685.
900, 900 by the time all these bonds are with
drawn.
It has been feared that this contraction in
the volume of national bank circulation
would be felt by business men, but it is said
at the national treasury that there will be no
disturbance on account of it because national
bank notes withdrawn from circulation will
be replaced by disbursements from the treas
ury, and in addition, the banks that surren-
der bonds and reduce their circulation receive
money for 10 per cent. of the bonds redeem
ed, and per cent. of the circulation surrsn-
dered, making 1411a per cent. upon the face
of the bonds On August 10 the total amount
of 3 per cent. bonds held by the banks as a
basis for circulation was little more than
$103, ZOO, ,000 80 that when these bonds are
all paid, their payment will put in cireula-
ton $14, 500, 900 more than the amount of cur
rency then outstanding these bonds.
Mr.. Trenholm, comptroller of the currency,
says that the volume of national bank cur
rency at present in circulation is, in round
numbers, about $217, ,000,0 900. He does not
think that any considerable proportion of
the per cent bonds now on deposit as
basis of national bank circulation will be re-
placed by other bonds when called. Some of
the banks, he-says, kavs already notified him
that they will go out of business. Whether
any great inconvenience will result from the
banks cessing business, he says, depends
upon the number and importance Of the
banks that drop out of the system. AS a
rule, he says, the large banks will have no
difficulty in maintaining the minimum de-
poslt necessary to enable them to do busi-

Some wise Points for Business Men
who EfppIe at Wrong Hours.
From the Chicago Tribune.l
Moderate drinkers engaged in pursuits
calling for Judgment and acumep, and who
use liquors during business hours, end, with
scarcely an exception, as financial wrecks,
however successful they may be in with
standing the physical consequence of their
indulgence Thousands who retain their
health and are never ranked victims of
intemperance lose their property, wreck their
business and are thrown into bankruptcy
because of tippling habits during business
hours. These men are not drunkards, and
only close observers can detect the influence
of strong drink in their department.; but
nevertheless liquor gives them false nerve,
makes them reckless, clouds the Judgment
and soon involves them in bad purchases,
worse sales and ruinous contracts Sooner
or later it is shown that the habit of tipp ing
during business hours is forerunner Of
bankruptcy. Let every such drinker review
his business transactions for series of years,
and answer whether this statement is not
true.
