THE EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL.

Although the effects Of alcohol are
familiar, it is we'll to recall them when we
would measure the strength Of the tendency
of excessive indulgence to become q habit
The action Of this stimulant on the average
human being Is first to fill him with q
serene and delightful self-complacsncy. His
feelings and his faculties are for the moment
exalted into q state Of great activity n
b%uoyancy, so hat his language becomes en-
thusiastic and his conversation vivaclous II
not brilliant. Gradually, however, If the
indulgence be continued, the senses become
dulled, a soft humming seems to hll the
pauses Of the conversation and to modify the
tones of the speaker, a flmy haze obscures
the vision, the head seems lighter than
usual, and the equilibrium is disturbed BY
and by objects appear double, or hit con-
fusedly before the eyes; the exercise of
Judgment is suspended, the power OF retl-
cence isanuihilatei, and the victim Of drink
throws forth all that is within him in un-
restrained commissioners; he becones
boisterous, ridiculous, and sinks at length
into a mere animal. Every person and
everything around hin-ths- houses, trees,
even the earth ~itself-seems drunken and
unstable, while in his own eyes he alone
seems sober, till at last the final stage Is
reached, and he falls on the ground 1nsen-
sible-dead drunk, as it Is called-an apo
plectic state from which, after profound
slumber, he at last energies exhausted, fever
ish, sick and giddy, with ringing ears and
violent headache .-Once-d- week.

TIE BEER DELUsIoE.

The Beer Breuers' Journal has published
q long article entitled "Enlightened Opin-
ions on Prohibition, " in which it e1tols the
Kelley treatment Of ~drunkards, and gives
copious extracts from an interview with the
doctor in Europe, in which he said:
II do not think prohibition will ever OBJ
tain in the United States. 1t is impossible
to control the liquor traffic. Therefore I
think light wines and beer drinking ought
to be encouraged in America and England"
The Journal quotes much more OF the
same sort and says this ''c~orroborates the
argument that the Journal has been using
for years, to educate the public up to a pro-
Der appreciation Of true temperance" Other
doctors" in Europe claim teetotalism to be

Water That Burns.

On the land Of farmer near the vii
lage of Gum Sulphur, KY, isa we'll
which is a great wonder to those who
have visited it. 1t is known as the ''burn-
ing WE'LL" name appropriately given,
for its waters, though clear, impid and
drinkable, are as inHammable as naptha.
This we'll is about fifteen feet deep, ex-
tending down through a strata of slate
rock. It contains sSwooden pump stock,
and the water, as it comes cold and
sparkling from the depth of the well.
has no odor about it. 1t has a mineral
taste and is exceedingly pleasant to
drink. Yet a dipper full of it coming
in contact with flame will take fire, blaz-
ing up like g%unpowder. The wells
discovery, if the natives tells a true
story, was rather remarkable. A party
of cxcursionists from Crab Orchard
Springs went out in that section in quest
of ferns, fossils and the like. On their
return they found the we'll and stopped
to get a drink. An oldlady living near
by brought a bucket and filled it with
the refreshing fluid for the thirsty
ramblers, and after they had drank she
poured the remainder on the ground near
the we'll. Just at this instant a young
man of the party Lit a cigarette and threw
the match heedlessly to the ground. It
CHANGED to fall into the poured out water,
which took fire and flashed up, amazing
and frightening the whole party. At the
suggestion Of one of the onlookers more
water was drawn, and, to the wonder OF
all, it took fire as readily as an explosive,
scorching the face and eyebrows of the
rash experimenter who held the match.
The old lady's family has for forty years
been using water out of the well, per-
fectly ignorant of its properties. Hun
dreds Of people from various parts o this
and other States have visited this section
and drank of the we'll, as we'll as tested
the imfammability of its waters.-Ms'

EXPRESS CAR LOOTED.
Daring Train Robbery by
Masked Men in Wisconsin.
They Blew Open the Gar With
Dynamite Cartridges.

A band Of six or seven masked men
robbed the midnight train from Chicago on
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Rail-
road near Western Union Junction. Wis.
at about 1 o'clock a few mornings ago. The
express car was blown open, and the safe
taken out, The robbers secured several
thousand dollars, the officials admitting that
at least $4,000 was taken, but say that the
larger portion Of it was IN the form OF
drafts on which payment can be stopped.
The robbers left Racine that night on q
freight train. and getting of at Western
Union Junction, boarded q Chicago train as
it came along and made their way, unseen,
to the tender. About a mile west Of the sta
ton the engineer and fremen found them
selves covered by rifles in the hands OF two
Of the robbers. They were marched to the
One of the robbers raped on the door at
the side and ordered Messenger Murphy to
open It. He refused. Then a bomb was
thrown through the window, and the de-
followed. A large hole was made In the
door. One of the robbers sprang into it and
covered the messenger and his assistant with
revolvers. Both men had been thrown down
by the conclusion. The safes were buried
beneath the boxes and packages.
Fireman Averill was compelled at the
point Of a revolver to get into the car n
uncover the safes, while the other robbers
stood ready to receive any of the passengers:
Two Of the three safes were thrown out or
the door and dragged away, when, after q
delay of about half an hour, the train was
permitted to proceed. .
The hagman had seen the men about the
express car. and started for Western Union
Junction. where he told his story, and dis
patches were sent to the authorities OF Ia
cine, Chicago and Milwaukee. Special trains
were made ready, and detectives were sent
to the scene Of the robbery.
It was learned later that the " safes
thrown from the train were not opened.
They were picked up by a freight train and
carried toward Chicago until a passenger
train was met, to which they were trans
ferred. The only plumber the robbers So
cured was contained in what is known as the
messengers private safe, in which he de-
posts money packages picked up at stations
along the road.
There was a light snow at Western Union
Junction that night and the. tracks OF SIX
men, leading away from the scene, were dis
covered. Two were going toward Racine.
two toward Milwaukee and two toward
Chicago. The goods in the car are, most OF
them, ruined, and Messenger Murphy,,s
clothing was torn into shreds. The passen'
gers were not molested.

velopement, being in 1880. was towards

H TREES GIFTS

=H. a.aHeF4gLst 49, -"
All decked in autumn red and gold;
A brave old tree raised high
bis head, and many people saw.
As daily they passed by
And on them all the red leaves fell,
Each one its helpful tale to tell.
Unto the children romping by.
The colors spoke Of joy;
To maids, the red meant love and lie
And to the growing boy
It meant ambition, fire and youth;
So each one found a living truth.
The poet felt a blisstul pain,
Amidst the glowing shower.
This ripened to a song, which moved
The world by its sad power.
The artist caught the beauty rare,
And made q picture, wondrous fair.
The man Of thought found In the leaves
A sermon, strong and grand,
Which to Q multitude he gave,
Inspiring heart and hand;
To saddeued ones, the rustling breath
Said: "Life is change; there Is p deeth.s
b &fs
And when the last leaf fell, tho tree
Found comfort in the thought
That he who gives Ia everrich;
And 50 his heart failed not,
And now, through all his waiti,s day
he Lifts to heaven a song OF praise.
