THE DRUNKARD'S LUNGS.
Too Much Alcohol Imte-feres with Props
ReS2ir ltion.

Respiration.
Habitual drinkers of ardent spirits
are always making vain efforts to OBJ
tain more oxygen for their lungs. They
frequently take deep inspirations, in
the form of signing; are apt to throw
windows open on the coolest days, and
sleep with the chest thinly covered,
and with their hands clasped above
their heads, in order to give more play
for the lungs The reason of this lies
in the fact tina. the constant presence
of more Or less alcohol in the system
delays the conversion of venous into
arterial blood by interfering with is
power of absorbing oxygen. Thus
tissue degcnerations are invited, as
there is insufficient oxygen to dissolve
out the insoluble substances, and their
accumulation causes mischief. In such
persons, the superficial veins are swol-
len and distendcd, and of deep pur-
pie tint, especially noticed on the backs
of the hands. through the presence of
excessive carbon; and the skin all over
has soft, characteristic feel. rcsem-

1T may not generally be known that
before the war there was no such flower
as the daisy In the state of Virginia.
The hardy flower was curiosity. Now
; the fields just around Richmond are
white with them. This is especially so
OF the late battlefelds about Chicka-
hominy river and wherever the .federals
had cncampments. An Investigation
shows that the seedsz1of the prolific

Of hay brought by the union soldiers
in Virginia when they we're camped
near the city. An old battery west of
Richmond is the spot from which the
daisy began to spread.

Spontaneous Human Combustion.


There is one trivial obstacle in the
way of explaining certain cases of al

that is not usually taken into consider

hundred and ten pounds of water.
Moreover it requires about four pounds
OF alcohol to evaporate one pound of
