WHOLESOME STIMULANT.
Warm Milk More Efficacious Than Beer or
Other Intoxicants.

Other Intoxicants.
Milk heated to much above one
hundred degrees Fahrenheit loses for
time a degree of its sweetness and
density. No one who, fatigued by
over-exertion of mind or body, has
ever experienced the reviving inAu-
ence of tumbler of this beverage,
heated as hot as it can be slipped, will
willingly forego a resort TO it because
of its being rendered somewhat less
acceptable to the palate. The prompt
ness with which it's cordial influence
is felt is indeed surprising. Some por-
ton of it seems to be digested and
appropriated almost Immediately, and
many who now fancy they need alco-
holic stimulants when exhausted by
fatigue will find in this simple draught
an equivalent that will be abundantly
satisfying and far more enduring in
its effects. There is many an ignor-
ant, overworked woman who fancies
she could not keep up without her
beer; she mistakes its momentary ex-
hilaration for strength and applies the
whip instead of nourishment to her
poor, exhausted frame. Any honest,
intelligent physician will tell her that
there is more real strength and nour-
ishment in slice of bread than in
quart of beer; but if she loves stimu-
lants it would be a very useless piece
of information 1t is claimed that
some of the lady clerks in our own
city, and those, too, who are employed
in respectable business houses, are in
the habit of ordering ale or beer at
the restaurants. They probably claim
that they are tired, and no one who
sees their faithful devotion to custom
ers all day will doubt their assertions.
But they should not mistake beer for
blessing or stimulus for strength. A
careful examination of statistics prove
that men and women who do not drink
can endure more hardships and do
more work and live longer than those
less temperate. IN Y Medical Record,

Five persons were imprisoned by
the caving in of a wall at a quarry at
Chancolade, near Perigeux, France,
recently, and there were no means at
hand to rescue them. To find out
where they We're, a shaft twelve inches
in diameter was bored, down which. was
slid small tube. near the end of which
was small camera surrounded nv a
battery OF electric lights. With this
apparatus number of negatives were
taken, and the effect of the disaster
shown, even to the faces oftwo corpses.
1t was thus known that the men were
dead, and that effort to succor them
would be useless.
