ALCOHOL IN CONSUMPTION.
Investig alton shows That Alcohol Is ol
No benefit in TubercuiosIs-

LnvestigatIon shows That Alcohol Is Of
No Beneft in TubercuiosIs
DIR. N. S. Davis, in a late lecture be-
fore the Chicago Medical College on
the subject Of alcohol and consump-
ton, reviewed at some length his
earlier Investigations OF alcohol in its
relation to tubercular disease, and
then said:
The Lancet, January 26, 1889, in its
leading editorial on the discussion in
the Pathological Society, has the fol-
lowing significant statement: What
is eminently worthy Of attention Of
practitioners in this connection, is the
frequency of tubercular disease in
cases of alcoholic paralysis. In fact,
the association Of chronic alcoholism
in all forms and tuberculosis was
brought out by almost every speaker,
including DIR. Payne, who said truly
that the inaccurate impression that
habits of alcoholic excess were in any
way antagonistic to tubercular disease
must be regarded as swept away. In
another paragraph it says, emphatic
ally: we have seen the demolition of
the belief that alcohol is a preventive
of tubercle.'
This is exactly what / demonstrated
clinically more than one-quarter of a
century ago. When this subject first
came up the Boylston prize was Of
fered for the best essay on the effects
of alcohol in its relation to tuber-
culosis, and the prize was awarded to
DR.. Bell, of New York, who, after a
careful and wide collection of facts
and statistics, came to the same con-
clusion | have stated.
Now, gentlemen, when you find on
record carefully-observed facts and
statistics illustrating the physiolog-
ical action of alcohol and its de-
structive effects and tendency to pro-
duce degeneration of the various tis-
sues in the human body, do not look
upon them as the production of a
Temperance fanatic. We certainly
have no evidence that the members OF
the London Pathological Society are
total abstainers. ! have searched for
the effects of alcohol in the line OF
scientific investigation for fifty years,
and you can not blame me for
some feelings of qualification to find
my studies. experiments and conclu-
sions on the subject confirmed step by
step every year. hope the day will
soon come when we will get rid of
the last pretence on which alcohol
now acts as remedy in acute dis
eases-viz, to strengthen weak
heart 1t has already been demon
strated, both by experiments on ami
mails and by abundant clinical OBJ
servations at the bedside, that, in
stead OF being cardiac tonic. it di-
rectly lessons the efficiency of the car
diac action until it ceases in diastole
-paralyzed. Where, then, are its
tonic properties?-National Temper
ance Advocate.

THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

Items Cleaned From the Report OF the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2L-The annual re-
port of the Acting Commissioner OF the
General Land.office, William II. Stone,
has been submitted 10 the Secretary OF the
interior. lie refers to the accumulation
OF business in the Office left over from the
former Administration and which was
partly due to the increase OF local land
offices. The system in force, he says, is
not promotive of steady dispatch OF busi-
ness, especially y in the case of the board OF
review created Iy Commissioner Sparks,
which was abolished as a hindrance to the
good. safe and quick work Of the office.
Commenting on Mr.. Sparks unwarrant-
ed suspicious that system Of fraud pre-
vailed and Mr.. Sparks assertion that the
proportion of fraudulent filings to the
total number of filings made and relin-
quished may be estimated in round num-
bers at 100 per cent" Mr.. Stone says:
This wholesale arraignment Of claimants
on public domain should not have been
made without the most conclusive evil
dence to sustain it." The report declares
that no general misconduct on the part Of
the Western settlers have been found.

Why Mays Father Resolved Never to
Drink Another Drop-A True Story.
Papa, will you please give me fifty
cents for my spring hat? Most all
the academy girls have theirs"
NO, May; | can tspare the money" !"
The above request was perSuasively
made by sixteen-year-old maiden as
she was preparing for school one
fine spring morning. The refusal
came from the parent in a curt, in
different tone The disappointed girl
went to school. The father started
for his place of business. On his way
thither he met friend, and, being
hail fellow we'll met, he invited him
into Macs for drink. AS usual,
there were others there, and the man
that could not spare his daughter
fifty cents for hat treated the crowd.
When about to leave. he laid half
dollar on the counter, which just paid
for the drinks.
just then the saloon-keeper's
daughter entered, and going behind
the bar, said: Papa, l want fifty
cents for my spring hat"
"All right" said the dealer, and
taking up the half-dollar from the
counter he handed it over to the girl,
who departed smiling.
Mays father seemed dazed, walked
out alone, and said to himself: Il
had to bring my fifty cents here for the
rumseller's daughter to buy hat with,
after refusing it to my own daughter.
I'll never drink another drop"
And he kept his pledge. -Philadel-
