ALCOHOL AND cossuMpr1or.

DR.. NJ s. Davis, in late lecture before
the Chicago Medical College, on the subject
Of alcohol and consumption, reviewed at
some length his earlier Investigations OF
alcohol in it's relation to tubercular disease,
and then quoted from the discussions Of the
members Of the Pathological Socisty Of
London, eminent physicians on the. same.
subject, corToborating his own conclusions:
he also said:
The Lancet, January 26, 1889, in its lead
ing editorial on the discussion In the Patho-
logical Society, has the following significant
statement: "What is eminently worthy OF.
the attention Of practitioners in this con-
necion, is the frequency Of tubercular disease
in cases Of alcoholic paralysis. In fact tho
association of chronic alcoholism in all forms
and tuberculosis was brought out by almost
every speaker including DR.. Payne, who
said truly that the inaccurate impression thst
habits Of alcoholic excess were in any way
antagonistic to tubercular disease must be
regarded as swept away" In another para
graph it says emphatically: "We have seen;
the demolition Of the belief that alcohol Is q
preventive Of tubercle."
This is exactly what demonstrated clinic
ally more than a quarter of century ago..
When this subject first came up the Boylston
prize was offered for the best essay on the
effects OF. alcohol in its relation to tuberculo-
sis, and the prize was awarded to DIR. Bell OF
New York, who, after careful and wide
collection of facts and statistics, came TO the
same conclusion have stated in the Medical
Section in 1860.
Now, gentlemen, when you find on record
carefully observed facts and statistics illus.
trating tho physiological action OF alcohol
and its destructive effects and tendency to
produce degeneration OF the various tissues
in the human body, do not look upon them
as the production of temperance fanatic.
We certainly have no evidence that the
members Of the Pathological Society are
total abstainers ! have searched for the
effects of alcohol in tho line Of scientific In.
vestigation for fifty years, and you cannot
blame me for some feelings Of gratihcataon
to find my studies experiments and conclu-
sions on the subject, confirmed step by step
every year. hope the day will soon como
when we will get rid of the Last pretence On
which alcohol now acts as ramedy IN accute
diseases-viz, to strengthens weak heart 1t
has already been demonstrated, both BY e1-
periments on animals and by abundant elm,
ical observations at the bedside that instead
Of being cardiac tonic, it directly Lessons
the efficiency of the cardic action until II
ceases in diastole--paralyzed. Where, then,
are its tonic properties.

Varieties of Maize.

There are, according to Rev. George
Hensloe, more than one hundred varieties
Of maize, which differ among themselves
more than those Of any other cereal.
Some come to maturity in two months,
others require seven. Some are as many
feet high as others are inches. Some
have kernels eleven times larger than
others. They vary similarly in shape and
size of ears, color of the grain and also IN
physical and chemical composition.

he HAS BEEN A LIFELONG TEEToTALER.

John Burns, the executive head OF the
GREAT London strike, appears to be man of
decided ability. Personally he is socialist,
but he does not seem to have been swayed by
his peculiar views in his management of the
strike. He was always cool, earnest and
active. He had to deal with unorganized
forces Of men scattered inconveniently over
q wide area. On some days he made over
thirty speeches, and had to visit as many
points Of the metropolis. Burns is self f-edu-
cated, and his neatly furnished house has q
large library Of books, chiefly on political
economy and works of reference. He has
been lifelong teetotaler and on-srnoker.-

CONSOLATION.

CONSOLATION.
Oh, hands! that toll from mornings light
Until the shadows Of the night
That sow in doubts and fears
Toll on! The reaping shall bs thine;
The purple fruitaee Of the vine
Shall bless the coming years.
Oh, feet that tread through sunless days
And starless nights, in thorny ways,
The mountain steep and cold
Press on! The gate of paradise
Is reached through pain and sacrifice,
Through storms, the Shepherds fold.
Oh, hearts! that bleed but cannot break,
Whose daily prayer is, Take, oh take
The life that thou hast givenr'
Be comfortedl Not mine, but Thine"
Shall make of grief joy Divine
Shall light the path to Heaven.

The retail liquor traffic is now prohibited
in seventy-nine municipalities of the pro-
| vince Of Manitoba.
In one year the police of st. Petersburg

100 died from inebriety.
The profits earned by the brewers GUM
ness s. Co., Dublin. last year amounted to
the enormous sum Of So, 954, $50.
The reason that some men can't make both
ends meet is because they are too busily ent
gagged in making one end drink.
In year the people Of London drink 200, :
BOO, 600 quarts Of beer, and consume SOC, 900
oxen, 2,6O0 900 sheep, 2O0, 900 calves, and 3oo,-

the working classes A workingman has
pointed out to the commission that drink is
the main cause Of the miserable condition OF
his class in Belgium.
Statistics show that the consumption OF
alcohol in France doubled between 1875 and
1885, No wonder the AntiAlcohol Com
gross resolved that the Governments Of the
world ''ought to place prohibitive duties" on
this persistent poison. ~
The Washington ID. C) W. c. T. U. has
two 'homes" under its patronage, Tho
National Temperance Home" for soldiers,

by the National Temperance League, at Biz
mingham, England, will be three public
evening meetings to be addressed respec.
lively by teetotal medical men, teetotai
Mayors and teetotal members Of Parlia-
ment.
One of the strongest temperance men In
England is Mr.. William Beckett, who is the
originator of q superior class Of non-alcohoiic
drinks. These, together with the famous
London 'coffee-houses," have done much 20
forward the cause of total abstinence In the
British Empire.
A Southern correspondent of the MaI and
Erpress writes from Atlanta, Ca, that not
only is iquor-selling to minors prohibited,
but the very presence of minors in place
where liquor is sold is forbidden. Further,

A WARNING NOTE FROM INDIA.

The Indian Messenger Of Calcutta sounds
a warning note Of exhortation as follows.
I'VE entreat the Government Of India to
put total stop to the liquor traffic In tnis
land before the liquor men can have such
large majorities on their side here as they
have in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
The country is far from wholesale corruption
even yet. Let the rotten limb be cut of ere
the disease spreads through the whole body

THE SUNDAY HALLWAY DOOR.

THE SUNDAY HALLWAY DOOR.
WHITTIER leadeth yonder doorway
Quoth the stranger on his way -
Twas the corner liquor storeway
On the quiet Sabbath day.
He was answered, ~ will show you,
If you've not been there before,
They'll be glad within to know you 4.
IT'S the Sunday hallway door,"
To den where drunkards wallowed,
In the funny, sickening air,
He the guide oblging followed,
Prudence whispering, Beware r.
At the bar, though young the morning
Drinkers down the rum did pour, IN
Law and Christian duty scorning,
Hidden by the hallway door.
In corner senseless lying
Slept the father of brood;
At his home were voices crying
For the luxury Of food.
Did he think Of them at waking?
Not bit he drank the more,
Till they threw him, limp and shaking,
From the Sunday hallway door.
Still the rattle of the glasses, s
Still the riot Of the brains :.
No one heeds how swift time passes
While the demon cup he drains.
Shouts and laughter idiotic,
Rbald curses by the score
60 and see King Rum despotic,

world. This continent is rot more remarka-
BILE for its magnitude than for its woncyrs of
construction. What pity the United States
Government did not take possession of Yose-
mite, California as it has of Yellowstone,
Wyoming, and Of Niagara Falls, New York!
Yosemite and the adjoining California re-
gions! Who that has seen them can think
Of them without having his blood tin
gle? Trees now standing there that
were cid when Christ lived: These monarchs
of foliage reigned before Cesar or Aexan-
der, and the next thousand years will not
shatter their scepter. They are the masts of
the continent, their canvas spread on the
winds while the old ship bears on its way
through the ages. Their size, Of which trav.
elers often speak, does not affect me so much
as their longevity. Though so old now, the
branches of some of them will crackle in the
last conhsgration Of the planet.
That Valley Of the Yosemite is eight miles
long and half mile wide and three thousand
feet deep. 1t seems as if it had been the
meaning Of Omnipotence to crowd into as
small place as possible some Of the most
stupendous scenery Of the world Some OF
the cliffs you do not stop to measure by feet,
for they are literally mile high. Steep SO
that neither foot of man nor beast ever scaled
them, they stand in everlasting defiance. II
Jehovah has throne on earth these are its
white pillars. Standing down in this great
chasm of the valley you look up
and vonder is Cathedral Rock,
vast, gloomy minister built for the silent
worship Of the mountains. Yonder is Sen
tinel Rock, 3270 feet high, bold, solitary,
standing guard among the ages, its top sci.
dom touched until bride one Fourth Of July
mounted it and planted the national stand
ards and the people down in the valley
looked up and saw the head Of the mountain
turbaned with the Stars and Stripes. Yondel
are the 'Three Brothers, " four thousand fee,
high; 'Cloud's Rest" North and Soutf
Dome and heights never captured save pJ
the fiery bayonets of the thunder storm.
No pause for the eye, no stopping place FOL
the mind. Mountains hurled on mountains
Mountains in the wake of mountains
Mountains fanked by mountains. Mountain!
