WASHINGTON MATTERS.
ON THE SICK LIST.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 16.-Senatoi
Edmunds joins the list of distinguished
congressional invalids and left yesterday
with his family to stay until he RECEIVERS
his accustomed health. Fortunately his
case is one that only rest is required to
adjust and is not so serious as that of his
senatorial brethren.
| Senator Joseph E. Brown, of Georgia
| has not been present day since the
opening of the present session of congress,
and Senator Beck has only made his APP
pearence at inlrequent intervals.
WORKING MAJORITY.
By the transfer OF a seat in congress
from Wise to Waddle the Republicans in
joiity that they need. They started in
the session with the house standing 1863
Republicans to ISL Democrats, a Repub-
lican majority OF 8.
Blythe unseatng of Jackson, Pendleton,
Cate, Compton and Wise the Repub-
lican majority has been increased from
eight to seventeen, and will be eighteen
when successor to the late Congressman
WILDER of New York is elected.
OUTLOOK FOR TEXAS.
The river and harbor committee will
shortly report the bill. In 1t provision
will be made for Sabine Pass, Cypress
bayou, BuaffIo bayou, mouth OF the
Trinity, Cedar bayou, Galveston bay ship
channel.
Aransas Pass has been eliminated from
the regular river and harbor bill and a
measure has been introduced,
authorizing the Aransas Pass harbor COM
pany to maintain certain works there,
the provisions of which have already been
published in these dispatches. This bill
is now before the committee and will prob.
able be reported favorably.
The Galveston deep water bill, which
passed the senate last week, will also re-
:eive the favorable recommendation of
he committee as separate measure,
md it is said by its friends that the house
will pass it. This, however, is a matter
or future consideration, and nothing
lefinite can now he said regarding 1t.
he outlook, however, for Texas marine
nd inland harbor appropriations is most
ratifying, and great credit is due to Col.
stewart and others of the delegation for
heir interest and zeal displayed in these

however, to Put their ideas into
practical execution, and their ar

But Messrs Hermiie and Besancon
formed their plan without any

their predecessors in the line Of re-

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, while working
as printer among London beer-drink-
ers, was known as the american
Aquatic" because he drank only water.
If man were to drink four quarts of
beer daily, SO little is the real nutri-
ment in it that he would in the course
of one year get the equivalent of five
pound loaf of bread.

book doesn't always smoke the best
cigars nor wear the finest clothes. It's
the man who can least afford the cost
who wears the reddest nose.-Ram's
Horn.
THE best class of life insurance com.
panies prefer not to take risks on drink
ing men, and some of them absolutely
decline to Issue policies to men who
habitually use alcoholic or malt liquors
in the form ofdrams.
IT is evident that, so far from being a
conservator of health, alcohol is an &C
tive and powerful cause of disease, in.
terfering as it does with the respiration,
the circulation and the nutrition; nor
is any other result possible. You
mans.
THE word toxical means poison and
originally signifed the poison in
which arrows had been prepared for
battle. The poisoned arrow was not
more certainly an instrument of death
than is the poisoned cup of the modern
saloon.
ONE hundred and fifty times as much
as is annually paid to the clergymen of
the United States, and one hundred and
eighty times as much as is paid every
year by the whole world for the cause
of missions, is annually expended TO
tsyssort the liquor traffic.

THE consequences of the vice of in.
toxication are SO many and so fearful
that it is difficult to enumerate even
the outlines of them; and to pursue them
in all their melancholy details would

Save tho Young Men.

Recently when two hundred or more
,drunkards were gathered in meeting
by the Breakfast Association, speaker
asked that all who had begun to drink
after the age of twenty-one would raise
their hands. A sea of hands were
raised. By saving the boys from the
saloon we can go far to save the
next generation. 1t is not the
drunkards who sustain the sa-
slSsns. The real drunkard earns moth
ing, and has nothing to spend. The
saloon is sustained by the moderate
drinker, the man who works six days
that, between Saturday night and Mon
day, he may pour his earnings into the
gorged till of the saloon. 1t is sus-
tanned by the young man, just begin
ming to drink, who, in his new found
enjoyment, is eager to treat all his
friends, and to be in turn treated by
them. IL is these that sustain the
saloons.-National Baptist.

DRUG CLERKS BLUNDERS.
It is Really Remarkable That They ID,
Not Occur More Frequently.

1t Is Really Remarkable That They Do
Not Occur More Frequently.
SIT does not surprise me that mistakes
by drug clerks sometimes occur" re-
marked Prof. Wueling, of the College
of Pharmacy. Indeed, it is somewhat
remarkable that they do not occur more
frequently. Physicians do not as rule
write very legibly, and tits just possible
that badly written word may be mis-
construed by man who handles the
prescription that contains it, and so a
more or less serious error be made. A
doctor may write down one mendoza
ment when he means to prescribe anoth
err. This error, of course, will lead to
the patient receiving medicine different
to that which the attending physician
desired he should take. The drug clerk
can not be held accountable for this,
but if any serious consequences result
he will, uniustly, be charged with some
of the blame. Then the prescription
clerk has not only the mistakes of the
doctors to contend with, but also any
that may be made by the wholesale drug
house that supplies the store in which
ne Is IL 10 JuoV 90 pOooibHS
that the clork in the wholesale drug
house may wrongly label package or
a bottle as that the prescription clerk
may use the wrong liquid or powder in
compromising mixture. This danger
of receiving the wrong drug is fully APP
preciated by some prominent druggists,
and it has become their custom to test
all supplies as received before permit
ting tnem to go into stock. But there
are scores of druggists who do not take
this precaution. 1t is the dangers that
surround the filling of prescripti ons
that have led many physicians to en-
ploy apothecaries of their own and to
dispense medicines from pharmacies
attached to their offices. This plan
provides triple safeguards against mis-
takes. The apothecary becomes abso-
!utely familiar with the handwriting of
the physician who employs him; he has
time to test all drugs received from the
wholesale houses and he is never rushed,
as is clerk in store, when prescrip-
ton filling is only one branch OF his
duties. IN. Y. Star.

The Folly of Some Girls.

There is no more infatuated folly in
the world than the idea that woman
can reform man by marrying him.
The only case we ever heard of where
it worked we'll was one in which a sem
sible and resolute girl did actually cure
a man of drinking by not marrying him
until he had broken off the habit and
stood probation of five years without
a lapse. If more women would have the
pluck and patience to take that course,
there would be fewer drunkards' wives
and families. And yet how many peo-
Pile encourage the notion that man
who won stay sober in order to win a
wife will keep sober after he gets her!
That was sound, if homely, philoso-
pher who said that he "didn't believe il
usin' up gals for the salvation of fell
lers. IN. Y. Examiner.
