pRuNkENNEss AMONG WOMEN.

DR.. Lucy NJ. Hail. lecturing at Cooper
Union on Tuesday evening, reported that
she has found, as the result of careful inves-
legations of the subject that drunkenness is
becoming alarmingly frequent among
women. Habits of drinking are extending,
more especially among the girls employed in
factories and workshops, and, as they are
more likely to generates morbid dependence
on stimulants in women than in men, the
vice, OF disease, of inebriety grows rapidly
there, according to the observation of this
woman physician.
1t is undoubtedly true that the women of
this country in all circles of society drink
more alcohol now than formerly. The
amount of the stimulant consumed by them
per head must be considerably greater than
it was twenty-f years ago, or at any previ-
Gus period since the great temperance agita-
tion which resulted in the passage of the fa-
nous Maine Liquor law in 1851. AS wealth
and luxury have increased the number of
tables upon which wine is served regularly
has multiplied enormously and the women
of the households partake of it very general
ly. The introduction of lager beer during
the last generation has also had tendency
to increase greatly the consumption OF alec
hol among women. A large part of the
working people of all the large towns drink
lager beer regularly at their meals, buying it
by the quart at neighboring saloons. The
crowds at the beer gardens in the evening
are composed usually of about as many
women as men. Every corner liquor shop,
also, has a side door by which women are adj
mitted to special compartment for their
use. The great majority of the women Of
New Y ork are more or less regular consun-
ers OF alcohol in some form.-New York Sun.

A Boiling Lake.

There is lake of boiling water in the
Island of Dominica, lying in the mountains
behind Roseau, and in the valleys sur
rounding it are many solataras, or volcanic
sulphur vents. In fact the boiling lake
is little better than crater filled with
scalding water constantly fed by mount
ain streams, and through which the
pentup gases find vent and are rejected.
The temperature of the water on the
margin of the lake ranges from $50 de-
grees to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. In the
middle, exactly over the gas vents, it is
believed to be about 800 degrees. Where
this action takes place, the water is said
to rise two, three, or even four feet above
the general surface level of the lake, the
cone often dividing so that the orifices
through which the gas escapes are legion
in number.
This violent disturbance over the gas
jets causes violent action over the whole
surface of the lake, and though the cones
appear to be special vents, the sulphur
Gus vapors rise with equal density over
its whole surface. Contrary to what one
would suppose, there seems to be In no
case violent action of the escaping gases,
such as explosions Oh detonations.
The water is of dark gray color, and
having been boiled over and ever for
thousand of years, has become thick and
Shiny with sulphur. As the inlets to the
lake are rapidly closing it is believed
that it will assume the character of gey
ser or sulphurous crater.-Ne,o York Jour

TEMPERANCE.
GRANDFATHER eREY's LESSON.

GRANDFATHER GREY's LESSON.
81 want you to listen," said Grandfather
Grey,
To the two little boys who lived over ths
way;
'sThat man can never jrunkard be
Who keeps from the burning cup totally
free.
And never a drunkard was anywhere
known
Unless from moderate drinker he'd grown
sand so, if you never would have the dis
grace
OF a staggering step and a bloated face;
OF a wretched home and ruined soul,
Be sure not to touch the foaming bowl,
Let it alone, nor look with desire
On the wine that is red, on the liquid fire.
"Beware of the little, now and then,
If you take it once, you will want it again;
The moderate drinker is never secure,
A drunkard he'll die you may almost be sure.
To keep from the curse there is only one
way:
Be total abstainers, T" said Grandfather Grey.

Transmitting Pictures Electrically.

Not many months ago new system of
sending pictures by telegraph was de-
scribed in the electrical journals. The
principle of this process was the division
of the picture to be sent into squares,
each square being numbered to corre-
spond with paper similarly prepared
and to be used at distant point, to be
drawn upon according to the direction
sent from the transmitting station by the
number communicated. While applic-
able to pictures having only straight
lines, the process was not found feasible
for tie transmission of portraits. For
this purpose an improved method has
been suggested, by which it is claimed
that an exact reproduction in chiaroscuro
of the original photograph can be elec-
trically transmitted to the receiving sta
tion.-New York Commercial AdUsrtiser.
