Alcohol as an Antiseptic.

1t is we'll unders TODD that alcohol will
preserve from corruption things which
are put in it. Fruits may be preserved
in alcohol. The naturalist pickles his
specimens in alcohol. The surgeon de-
posts the cancers and tumors which he
has extracted in alcohol, and they are
preserved for many years. But what is
an antiseptic? To answer this question
we must inquire what is the cause of
destruction and decay? Modern science
has discovered that it is caused by the
presence of living creatures which, null
tiplying indefinitely, break down the
tissues and destroy the organic forms.
How, then, does alcohol preserve from
decay? Simply by killing every liv-
ing form which would otherwise prey
upon these tissues. The antiseptic pow
er of alcohol, then, is simply It's power
of destroying life. All antiseptics are
poisonous, and they are antiseptics be-
cause they are poisons. Arsenic is much
used in embalming. Other poisonous
drugs are used for the same purpose.
Any thing which will utterly destroy
life will prevent the growth and devel-
opment of those minute animalcula,
which destroy and break up tissues
when the vital spark is fed. Alcohol.
therefore, is antiseptic only as it is
deadly. A deadly poison. it prevents
decay. 1t is death to every thing which
seeks to prey upon those tissues. The
human system is not benefited by the
presence Of such poisons. In small
quantities life struggles and maintains
its existence. Large quantities destroy
vitality, and destroy every thing that
has life and that would prey upon forms
already dead.

A Traffic as Murderous as the Slave-Trade

The Saturday Review is not usually
given to viewing moral reforms in very

then, are its occasional utterances in
condemnation of crying iniquities.
Speaking of the Brussels Anti-Slavery
conference it asks: viii it be instructed
to put down European traffic as muir
derous as the slave-trade itself? Or is
IL that, while the conscience of all Eu-
rope has been shocked at last by slave
trade cruelties committed by gangs Of
heartless Arabs, it is not yet touched
by the devastation deliberately perpe-
trated by Christian dealers in counter
felt strong waters? On this suggestion

DRINKERS OF BEER.
What Benjamin Franklin Had to Say
About a Vile Habit.

About n Vile Habit.
Benjamin Franklin, who was born
January 6, 1905, was frugal and tenn
perate man. That he had no use for
beer, to say nothing of stronger liquor,
was apparent from his practice in a
London printing Office where he was
employed. II drank only water" he
says, somewhere in his writings; 1.-The
other workmen. nearly fifty in number,
were great drinkers of beer. On one oc-
casion l carried up and downstairs a
large form of types in each hand, when
others carried but one in both hands.
They wondered to see that the Water
American as they called me, was
stronger than themselves, who drank
strong beer. We had an ale-house boy
who always attended in the house to
supply the workmen. My companion at
the press drank every day pint before
breakfast with his bread and cheese, a
pint between breakfast and dinner, a
pint at dinner, pint in the afternoon
about six o'clock, and another when he
had done with his days work. thought
it detestable custom, but it was neces-
sary, he supposed, to drink strong beer
that he might be strong to labor. 1 en-
deavored to convince him that the bod
lily strength afforded by beer could only
be in proportion to the grain or flour of
the barley dissolved in the water of
which it was made; that there was more
-four in a penny-worth of bread; and
therefore, if he could eat that with
pint of water it would give him moro
strength than quart of beer. He drank
on, however, and had four or five shil
lings to pay out of his wages every
Saturday night for the vile liquor-an
expense l was free from. And thus
these poor devils always kept them
selves under.

HAS AGENTS EVERYWHERE"
The Wonderful Success OF o Great In
surance Corporation.

The wonderful Success OF n Great In
suranco Corporation.
The Phenix of Brooklyn is one of the
wonders of fire insurance, and one of the
famous companies Of the world. Its rapid
rise in popular favor Is without parallel.
The familiar sign ''The Phenix of Brook
lyn Has Agents Everywhere" while APP
parently exaggerative, is almost literally
true so far as the United States is con-
cerned. Should the reader, no matter who
or where, wonder whether the Company is
represented in his place, he has only to make
an inquiry 'down town" to be convinced
Its agents are workers. The Phenix moves,
and this in part explains its success. An
other explanation is that it is as prompt
and active in the settlement of losses as in
the pursuit of premiums.
The headquarters of the Company's West
ern and Southern Department are located
in its own building at Chicago. In the
West and South it does q business as large
as, II not larger than, that of any other
company In farm insurance it leads
Last year its premium receipts in this ter
ritory were over s., 100000. "Nothing sue
ceeds like success" During 1889 this Com
pany materially strengthened its assets and
net surplus, its funds now aggregating over
four million seven hundred and eighty
thousand dollars. The company was the
first to pay loss resulting from the Chi
cago fire. Itpaid 1926, 900 to sufferers from
that disaster and si5O,O0O to Boston the year
following.
Since its organization in 1853 the Phenix
has paid losses representing nearly thirty
eight times its present cash capital, the to-
tai payments being s37, 720, 6216O. The re-
lief afforded by the redistribution of this
vast amount among the people cannot be
accurately determined. 1t has supplemented
credit, promoted trade and fostered all in
dustries. Great numbers of commercial
establishments have thus been enabled to
substitute the new for the old, while still
greater number of private homes have
been restored from their ashes and ruins.

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. H. Dixon Il Son, cor. Of John
