perance.
The disapproval of the "abuse OF
intoxicating beverages has become
very general This disapproval is very
often expressed in one form or another
by moderate drinkers, and is even fer
yently reiterated from time to time by
the brewers, distillers and saloon
keepers. But it IS refreshing to find
high medical authorities inviting pub
lie attention to the fact that even mod
crate drinking is injurious to health,
and therefore itself an "abuse'.
The Medical Record, of this city,
calls attention, in articles which the
Scientific american reprints entire and
thus emphasizes, to a late discussion of
this subject by DR.. Harley. the English
psychologist and nephrologist, in the
Provincial Medical Journal. DIR. Har-

In all cases, oatmeal should be thor

there is no dish requiring more care
and attention in its preparation than
an oatmeal porridge. To a pint Of
boiling water slowly add a teacupful of
oatmeal and half teaspoonful of salt,
stirring constantly with a wooden
spoon, and afterwards let the porridge
boil for an hour, stirring occasionally
to prevent sticking to the saucepan.
When done, pour it out, and serve with
milk or cream. Those who like itmay
be allowed sugar or sirup. Porridge is

A TRUTH WELL ILLUSTRATED.
A Fair and Striking "Specimen of tho

A Fair and Striking "specimen of tho
Work Done inside"
The following story by Rev. Charles
Garrett is worth repeating:
"One of my friends is very earn
est, shrewd man, who seems always
to know how to do the best thing at
the right time. One day he was pass
ing gin-shop in Manchester. when he
saw drunken man lying on the
ground. The poor fellow had evidently
been turned out of doors when all his
money was gone. In a moment my
friend fastened across the street, and,
entering grocer's shop, addressing
the master. said:
Will you oblige me with the
largest sheet of paper you have?'
- What for, my friend? What's the
matter?'
"'Oh, you shall see in a minute or
two. Please let it be the very largest
sheet you have
1.-The sheet of paper was soon pro-
cured.
60 Now will you lend me piece of
chalk?' said my friend.
Why, whatever are you going to
do?'
"'You shall see presently
"He then quickly printed, in largo
letters:
SPECIMEN OF THE WORK DONE IN
"He then fastened the paper right
over the drunken man and retired
short distance. In few moments
several passers-by stopped and read
aloud: Specimen of the work done
inside
sin very short time a crowd as
sembled, and the publican, hearing
the noise and laughter outside, came
out to see what it was all about. He
eagerly bent down and read the in
scription on the paper, and then de-
manded, in an angry voice: Who did
thatP'
which, asked my friend, who
now joined the crowd. If you mean
what is on the paper, l did that; but
if you mean the man, you did that!
This morning when he arose he was
sober; when he walked down this
street, on his way to work, be was
sober; when he went into your GIN
shop he was sober, and now he is what
you made him. Is he not true speci-
men of the work done inside?' -

EARLY POTATOES.
Figures Showing that They Excel the
Late Varieties.

Late Varieties.
1t is quite generally conceded that
early potatoes are more profitable than
late ones. There is no question about
the matter with the gardener who
wishes to grow two crops in one sea-
son, and making early potatoes the
first crop. Many farmers do not at.
tempt double cropping, hence it mat
tiers little to them whether they grow
early or late varieties, provided The
crop is equal in both cases. In favor
able seasons, when there is sufficient
rain during the period of growth, late
varieties often give larger yields than
the early sorts. A more or less pro-
tracted drought is likely to occur dur
ing July or August which materially
checks the growth and decreases the
yield of late varieties, but the early
sorts, being ripe before that time, es-
cape damage. The shorter the sea-
son of any variety, the less liable it is
to suffer from drought. The follow
ing table gives record of the early
and late varieties grown at the station
for three seasons. None are included
that have not been grown for that
length of time:

ling in the extreme. more particularly
as regards the proportion of liver dis
eases" The rate of mortality is found
to be six times greater among these
whose business is practically iasep-
arabic from "nipping" than among
those representing all the other in
dustries combined. After the liver,
the kidneys. the heart and the nervous
system become most frequently affected
IN moderate drinkers. DR.. Harley
says that sit is not difficult to under
stand why the liver, of all organs of
the body. should be the most affected
by 'nipping, when it is remembered
that almost every drop of alcohol
taken into the stomach is absorbed by
the branches of the portal veins. is
conveyed directly to the liver, and has
to filter through its tissues ere it can
get into the general circulation, and
by it become distributed to the other
organs of the body That the kid
neys suffer less than the liver is pre-
sumed to be due to the fact that less
alcohol reaches them, yet it is in part
eliminated by these organs, and DR..
Harley claims to have obtained "pure
alcohol" from the kidneys of persons
who have died intoxicated, by the
simple process of distillation. The
bad effect of chipping" upon the
heart consists in inviting disease in the

| disease which already exists.
DIR. Harley also believes that alco-
hol taken in small quantities alta time.
but frequently repeated, acts dele
teriously upon the nervous system by
keeping the blood-vessels on the
stretch, by engorging them and caus-
ing them to press upon the nerve-cells
and fibrils This, it is claimed, inter-
feres both with the proper performance
of their functions and with nutrition.
The nerves also suffer indirectly
through the action of alcohol on the
blood. DR.. Harley has found that,
even in the small proportion of five
per cent, "alcohol exerts powerful
chemical effect on blood, so powerful
as to entirely derange one of its most
important functions-namely, the
function of respiration. 1.-THE
alcohol" he says, "seems to act like
an asp hyxiant, inasmuch as it not
alone diminishes the power of the red
corpuscles to absorb oxygen, but to
exhale carbonic acid, and that, too, in
the same way (though to a somewhat
less extenD as morphia does. This
peculiar action of alcohol on the blood
nerve-pabulum may be thought to give
a reasonable explanation of the par
alyzing action of alcohol upon the
| nervous system.
The five per cent. of alcohol thus de-
clared by a scientific expert to have so
serious a chemical effect upon the
blood is about the average quantity
contained in beer. In the light of this
very suggestive and important medi-
cal and scientific discussion of the SUBJ
ject. the reason becomes obvious why
beer risks are avoided by life insur-
ance companies, why the so-called
moderate drinker, as well as the
heavier topper, is guilty of the "abuse"
of intoxicants, and why total absti-
nence therefrom is the only true

PERILS OF FIREMEN.
Some of the Dangers Which They ME-

some OF the Dangers Which They May
Be Called On to Face Any Day.
An occasional brave deed is sure to
receive applause from an appreciative
world, but how many of us stop to
think of the constant heroism required
in the fireman's lifep In undertaking
his duties, he has virtually pledged him
self to keep his courage always
screwed to the sticking place." and
very few are the records of his fail
ures. In a recently published ac-
count of the New York fire brigades
are to be found the following stories,
descriptive of dangers which the
"boys'' may any day be called on to
face:
Ten or a dozen years ago, during a
fire on Broadway, heavy beam fell
from the roof on eight firemen in such
q way that it Frustrated without crush
ing them. The wood was on fire from
end to end, and they could not possibly
rise. They lay close to the floor, which
was smoking and covered with sparks,
and the beam continued to burn over
them within few feet of their heads,
threatening to roast them to death.
One of the pipes had been buried with
them, and when they discovered that,
they turned it against the flames.
Steaming to death now awaited them,
as the water vaporized in the heat, and
filled their crib with scalding white
clouds; but the circumstance saved
them, by enabling them to abate the
fire below. until their comrades out
side had lifted the beam.
During the burning of building on
Broadway, in 1877, it was agreed be-
tween three hosemen, who were sta
toned on the roof, and one of the Off
GERS below, shat when the fall of the
roof appeared imminent to him, he
should call to them, and they should
leap to the next building, over an inter-
vening alley five or six feet wide. In
the meanwhile they did not distress
themselves, but worked steadily, pour
ing water down the scuttles. The
Kissing and tapping of the flames, the
fierce pulsation OF the engines, the
trumpeted orders of the chiefs, and the
crash of falling iron and lumber were
so loud and confusing that a voice
might easily have been lost in them.
Notwithstanding this fact, the men
held to their insecure ground until a
gentle rafting indicated that the roof
was about to collapse. and they heard
the officer below cry: "Leap" Every
spectator held his breath while the
brave hosemen sprang from one para
pet to another. They had hardly done
so when dense volume of smoke and
sparks shot into the air. and only pit
of flames remained where the men had
stood. - Youths Companion.

THE LITTLE OLD MILL.

There's a little rill
At the foot OF the hill,
And little dam,
And little old mill.
Shabby and still;
And the little old miller who once was there
With snow-white clothes and powdered hair,
Who measured the grain,
And who took the toll,
He is now as silent and stin
AS the moYeless wheels in the little mill,
And he sleeps in the church-yard, cold and lorn
Near the little mill where he ground the corn.
Long years ago
In the summers glow,
And the autumn's blow,
And the winters snow,
1t was full of life;
The waters rushed through the narrow bay,
And the tick-tack song was heard all day,
Grinding the grain
That daily came
Down the crooked lane
To the old mill door.
Boys and men-men and boys
Chatted amidst the old mills noise,
Related their sorrows, spoke Of their joys,
Joked and laughed for many an hour
While the miller turned the grists to -four.
Where are they
p,r To be found today
~ They silent are and still
~ Like the miller and the mill,
All their grists of life have been ground;
AL OF them sleep beneath the mound;
For like the mill
At the foot OF the hill
They had their day
And passed away
Some were weak and others were strong;
Some died young, while others lived long
One by one they dropped by the way,
And not survivor lives to-day.
But the rill runs along
With the same old song
And the same fresh glow
OF years ago.
Warm and cold it never grows old;
And its banks still bloom with crimson ant
gold,
just as it did when the miller was there
With snowy garb and powdered hair;
And the llfe-stream flows
Through joys and woes;
And Others now ride
On the lifelong tide,
Just as those did who went to that mill,
Just as those to follow us will,
Till the wheels Of Time shall stand as still
AS the rafting wheels OF that old mill.
