How the "Rum Blossom Blooms.

The circulation is through two sets of
blood vessels-arteries and veins-both
obtaining their motive power from the
heart acting as force pump. Alcohol
increases the pulsations, and, as the
blood is sent from the heart to the ex-
tremities faster than the veins can take
it up again to return it, congestion re-
suits, and the nose, being a remote por
ton OF the circulation, reddens and
finally becomes diseased. This, how
ever, is not different from other organs
of the body; all are congested and SIM
narly diseased by the use of alcohol

CRUSHED BY AJIccER.
Little Katie curran instantly Killed.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Frank Lufkin
was driving his team up Plum street, and
as he passed the st. Julian hotel a gentleman
sitting in the Office of the hotel, and looking
out Of the window that fronts on the street,
saw two little girls on the jigger. As he
looked he saw one of the little girls attempt
to Jump off the team, slip and fall. At the
same time there was one scream. The driver
stopped his horses Immediately, but the wheel
had passed over the child's skull, fracturing
1t badly. When picked up, the girl was dead.
The body was taken into the st. Julian and
the parents sent for. The child was about
six years old and was named Kate Curran,
daughter of Michael Curran, who lives at
No. 467a Fore street. Coroner Hall was
called, but, on learning the circumstances,
deemed an.inquest unnecessary.
The teamster requests us to state that It is
habit with many children to jump on the
Jiggers to ride; that they try a. they can to
discourage the practice. but the children will
do 1t and they do not want to be rough to
such young children. But it is only strange
that SO few serious accidents occur under the
circumstances
