The Medical aud Sur9ical Report-

The Medical aud Surgical Report
e,. notes the fact that the great in
surance companies of Great Britain,
have, by their official action, ''pro-
nounced the teetotalers longer-lived
than those who make even moder-
ate use of spirituous liquors. and
says: Zone of the largest ana old
est of these companies, which has
kept separate registers for twenty
wears, declares that among the strict
ly abstaining class the real mortality
has fallen short by 30 per cent. of
the ordinary expectancy, while fully
90 per cent. of the moderate drinkers
have attained this expectancy" 1t
also invites public attention to the
fact that there are now insurance
companies and societies for mutual
aid in England designed exclusively
for total abstinence men, ''and that
the taking Of an occasional glass Of
any intoxicant vitiates their pol
icy Life insurance teaches the
lesson of total abstinence, not upon
moral or sentimental grounds, but
strictly economic. 1t is teaching
thus timely and valuable lesson
even to many doctors.
The Medical Record, discussing
the subject of "Science and Drink, ;"
says that Hurley has found, that,
even in the small proportion of five
per cent, alcohol "eXerts powerful
chemical effect on the blood, so
powerful as to entirely derange one
of it's most important functions
namely, the function of respiration.
The alcohol seems to act like an
asphyxiant, inasmuch as it not
alone diminishes the power OF the
red corpuscles to absorb oxygen, but
to exhale cs.rbonic acid, and that too,
in the same way (though to some
what less extent) as morphia does.
It is held that it is because Of this
chemical effect that the blood OF the
drinker is imperfectly oxidized, I'M
fitted for the purposes of nutrition,
and predisposed to the gravest
forms of disease.
The leading distillers, admonished
by the late decision of the United
States supreme court, and by the
rising tide of temperance public opin-
ion, appear to be quite conscious OF
impending danger to their ''vesteo
whiskey interests" and to be pre-
pairing in advance for the coming
storm. A late number of BOU0rt
Vine and Spirit Circular says
.sNearly all the prominent Kentucky
distillers have outside interests tx
which they give considerable por
ton of their attention, and to which
they can turn should prohibition ev
er settle its destructive fangs upol
this state" This indicates that TIN
Kentucky distillers, whatever els
they may be, are, in business pom
of view, cautious, prudent men.

Hints to Housekeepers.

Dry paths tend to comfort outside
the house and cleanliness within.
Carpets will look much brighter
after sweeping if wiped off with
damp cloth.
Binding a piece of lemon around
the toe, rubbing the corn with green
peach tree leaves, are both very
good remedies.
Two thicknesses of newspaper
make good lining for apple barrels.
Really good butter is sometimes
spoiled by the use of inferior salt.
Soft tissue paper is the best for
polishing or drying window glass.
Remove the irons when the iron
ing is done, and never let them stand
on the stove where steam and grease
will be sure to settle on them.
If the boiled potatoes are done
little too soon lay towel over the
kettle or dish, but do not put tight
cover over them.
Lace may be washed by winding
it around bottles or sewing 1t on
muslin and boiling it in soft water
with CASTLE soap. 1t shonld be
rlnsed in soft water after removing
it from the s4ds.
You who are troubled with chicken
cholera try my remedy. Give them
condition powders in their food.
Rain water and soap will remove
machine grease from washable fab
RIGS.
Baked potatoes must be eaten as
soon as they are done. When they
are taken from the oven they should
be put into a napkin or towel and
the skin broken, so as to allow the
steam to escape; this will keep the
potato mealy. If it cools without
breaking the skin it will be watery
and will have an acrid taste, which
is caused by the retaining of a kind
of Juice which lies next the skin.
Tea, coffe and cocoa are. three
admissible drinks, but not in excess

The Value of Turpentine.

After a housekeeper fully realizes
the worth of turpentine in the house
hold she is never willing to be with
out supply of it. 1t gives quick
relief to burn; it is an excellent APP
plication for corn it is good for
rheumatism and sore throats, and it
is the quickest remedy for convul-
sions or fits. Then it is a sure pre-
ventive against moths by just drop
ping a trife in the bottom of drawers,
chests and cupboards, it will render
the garments secure from injury
during the summer. 1t will keep
ants and bugs from closets and store
rooms by putting few drops in the
corners and upon the shelves; it is a
sure destruction to bed bugs, and
will effectually drive them away
from their haunts, if thoroughly ap-
piled to the joints of the bedstead in
the spring cleaning time. and Injuries
neither furniture nor clothing. A
spoonful of it added to a pailful of
warm water is excellent for cleaning
paint. A little in the suds on wash
ing day ightens laundry labor.

Where Does it Begin?

To drink deeply-to be drunk-ls
a sin this is not denied. At what
point does the taking of strong drink
become a sin? The state in which
the body is when not excited by in
toxicating drink is its proper and
natural state; drunkenness is the
state furtherest removed from 1T.
The state of drunkenness is state
of sin; at what stage does it become
sin? We suppose a man perfectly
sober who has not tasted anything
which can intoXicate; one glass ex-
cites him, and to some extent dis
turbs the state of sobriety, and so
far destroys it; another glass excites
him still more; third fires his eye,
loosens his tongue, indames his pas
sions; fourth increases all this;
fifth makes him foolish and partially
insane a sixth makes him savage;
a seventh or eighth makes HIM stu
pid-a senseless, degraded mass;
his reason is quenched, his faculties
for the time destroyed. Every noble
and generous and holy principle with
in him withers, and the image of
God is polluted and defled! This is
SIN; awful sin for 'drunkards shall
not inherit the kingdom of God"
But where does this sin begin! At
the first glass, at the first step toward
complete intoxication, OF at the sixth
or seventh or eighth? Is it not ev-
cry step from the natural state of
the system toward the state of stu
pid intoxication an advance in sin,
and a yielding to the unwearied
tempter of the soul.-J0hn Bright.

Commenting on the aggressive in
fiuence of the saloon in politics,
Harper's Weekly takes occasion to
say: ssThe saloon is now not mere
ly resort for drinkers. 1t has
become an organized interest and
very effective force in politics. 1t
dominates candidates and controls
elections solely with reference to
it's own advantage, and consequently
those who otherwise would be dis
posed to disregard the question are
compelled to interest themselves in it
to prevent a degrading and disas
trous ascendency in public affairs. .
The only effective way to get rid of
the troublesome saloon in politics is
/ to abolish the saloon itself. As long
as it has legal existence it is prac-
ticallv an open political clubhouse,
continually on the alert, through
the bribery Of appetite and other
corrupting methods, for its own
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and to perpetuate
indefinitely its supremacy and con-

recommends cocoa as the best. A
cup of thin cocoa, just warm, is more
to be recommended between the ex-
ertions of singing than any alcoholic
beverage. Tea must not be taken
too strong, nor when it has been
drawn too long, for it then becomes
acid, and has bad influence upon
the mucous membranes of the throat.
There is always a sensation of dry
ness after taking a cup of tea that
has been allowed to draw too long.

LOWELL AND CLEVELAND.

The partisan Republican press just
now can't say too many mean things
about that distinguished American,
JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL, the head
and front of whose offending is that he
has looked upon the administration and
its leader and found them good. The
rabid partiSanS think that because Mr..
LOWELL enjoyed highly honorable
Office under Republican adminiStra-
ton that his silence should have been
purchased at the same time as to the
defects in his own party and the merits
i'll the Democratic party.
But Mr.. LOWELL isn't built that way.
He is a type of thousands of educated
and cultivated men of the country
whose intelligence will not permit them
to be hide-bOund, but which forces them
to recognize merit wherever they may
see it. Experience has shown that they
cannot fail to see it in the present adj
ministration. The habit of independ-
ence, which had its birth in New Eng
land, is rapidly growing in this country,
but the Republican journals which are
trying to check it will find by the reac-
ton that they have made mistake.
AS a fair-minded man, in favor of
honest government and opposed to jingO-
ism, Mr.. LOWELL could do no less than
indOrse President CLEVELAND and op-
pose Mr.. BLAINE. Our friends of the
opposition will find that there are thou
sands like him whom they formerly
counted as their own.

PARIS, Jan. 12.-Floquet, on assuming
the presidency of the chamber of dep

displayed by that body in aceomp-
fishing with invincible firmness
sacrifice necessary but pain
full and achieving constitutional
evolution which the honor of the repub-
lie demanded. He held it was the duty
otthe chamber to maintain upon a
solid basis lasting harmony between
the public powers. 1t was also to the
interest of the nation that the authority
OF the legislative power should not i'm
its turn be shaken just after the pres
tige Of the executive power had been
happily established. He concluded by
saying that questions touching political
procedure had but slight interest for
the nation at the present time. 1t was
therefore necessary for the cham
Der to occupy itself with ques-
tons OF finance, industry and
commerce, the welfare of the work
ing classes, military organization and
internal situation. why he asked,
s'should we not be able to come to an
agreement upon these questions since
we all equally desire justice. While i'm
negotiations regarding external inter
ests we are actuated by-loyalty to the
people who love peace, but are inaccess-
-ible to weakness, strict justice at home
and scrupulOus loyalty abroad are our
essentials of national strength. We
must be strong if we wish to be cOurted
as allies. dreaded as foes" The cham

the question of amnesty for political

to favor clemency toward political Of

mend wholesale amnesty. The motion
for urgency was negatived, 265 to 1877.
