DRUNK ON SUGAR FUMES.

The stevedores unloading sugar YES
sells at pier 30, south wharves, have been
Involuntary indulging in what they
call "sugar drunks," says the Philadel-
phia Record. 1t is curious fact that
the gases arising from sugar that has
been stored in the hold of a vessel with
out ventilation will produce state of
intoxication which might put to shame
that produced by jug of Kentucky
"mountain dew" This saccharine
''jag'' is caused by merely breathing the
air where the sugar has been stored, and
while 20 minutes in the open air is
sufficient to work off its effects it is none
the less jag"
While the barkentine John Swan was
unloading cargo of sugar at pier 30 it
was noticed that quite a number of
stevedores working in the hold of the
vessel were acting in strange manner,
as though under the influence of liquor.
They were induced to go on deck, ap-
parently in a beastly state of intoxica-
ton, but after few minutes i'll the open
air they recovered and continued their
work.
John Duffy, one of the men affected,
pronounced the sensation to be exactly
similar to effects produced by drinking
whiskey. For while he felt stimulated,
then began to grow exhilarated and
hilarious. Shortly after that he began
to get dizzy and stagger and finally lost
all control of his mental and physical
faculties, when he was removed to the
open air and recovered shortly after
| ward.
The effects of the fumes have only
been noticed early in the morning, when
the matches are first removed. Gradually
the current of air from the two matches
dissipates the gas, and within an hour it
disappears entirely. leaving only a dis
agreeable and penetrating Odor and a
sediment which penetrates every part of
the vessel.
Henry r Ingham, foreman of the men
employed in unloading vessels for the
Harrison refinery, said yesterday, that
he had complained to his employers,
with the result that hereafter the sur
Yeyor's watchmen will remove the
matches from the vessels at o'clock in
the morning. AS the men do not go to
work until I, this will give an hour for
ventilating the hold, which Mr.. Ingham
says is quite sufficient TO destroy the in
toxicating gases. Collector Cooper's at
tention was called to the state of affairs,
and he promptly issued the order to the
surveyors watchmen to open the matches
at o'clock.

The Best Advertising.

The most efficient advertising in behalf
of Hoods Sarsaparilla is that which
comes from the medicine itself. That is
those who are cured by it, speak to
friends suffering similarly, who in turn
derive benefit and urge others to try
this successful medicine. Thus the cir
Gle of its popularity is rapidly widening
from this cause alone, and more and
more are becoming enthusiastic in be-
half of Hoods Sarsaparille as it actually
demonstrates its absolute merit. All
that is asked for Hoods Sarsaparilla is
that it be given fair trial. If you need
a good blood purifier, or building up
medicine, try Hoods Sarsaparilla.

MAKE DRUNKENNESS DIsREPUTA.

Men are growing more temperate, not
because the law says they shall not have
chance to get drunk, but because pub.
lie sentiment impresses upon them the
conviction that they cannot afford to get
drunk. 1t is by Strengthening this SEN
timent that the work of temperance re-
form is to be chiefly prosecuted. Tell a
man the law says he shall not get drunk
and he is quite likely to do it out of
spite; convince him that ''it don't pay"
to get drunk, and no law will be needed.
N. Y. EUening Post.
The Union has repeatedly insisted up
on this view of the temperance question,
not in opposition to its Legislative feat
ures but as an encouragement to those
who are using their influence especially
on tbs social side of the question. 1t is
coming to be serious stigma on a per-
sons reputation to say that ''he drinks. :"
He may not be drunkard, but if he
drinks moderately, as he calls it, he is
so plainly on the downward road, that
the best society at least pities him, and
such pity is closely akin to contempt
More and more every year, business men
are finding out that it does not pay to
employ men who drink. The great rail
load corporations now enforce total alb
stinence. A drinker is not safe man
for a railroad worker. In hundreds of
manufacturing companies the same rule
is enforced, because drink dulls the
brain, and makes the hand unsteady.
Modern competition requires the very
best that is in workman, and employ
ers cannot afford to have their labor i'm
paired by drink.
We are inclined to think that the new
law for the punishment of drunkards is
working in the right direction. Hereto
fore conviction of drunkenness followed
by fine has proved no detriment to
continued debauches. The penalty only
reached the pocket of the drunkard or of
his friends, and no social stigma attach
ed to it, in the stratum of society to
which he belonged. But the disgrace of
imprisonment touched the benumbed
sentiment of self-respect as nothing else
will. Drunkenness is made disreputa-
bic and caution is acknowledgement

THE PORTER,s MIsrAKE,

A well known Chicago physician re-
turned from a little visit to relatives in
the interior of the state last week. He
had been carried beyond his destination
once before, so when he boarded the car
in the evening he called the porter to him
as soon as that dignitary's attention could
be attracted and held the following con-
versatiion with him:-
John, here's dollar for YOU"
''Yes, sah."
And Pm going to get off at Rockford
tonight" continued the doctor.
Eyes, sah," said John.
THAT means 1 don't want to be carried
through to Dubuque.
eyes, sah."
$50 if you can't wake me up in time to
dress, l want you to see that you get me
off anyway, no matter what happens.
Eyes, sir" and they parted.
In due season the medical man went to
his berth with feeling of blessed secur-
ity! About daybreak he was awakened
by hearning feminine voice from the
section just across say
PORTER, are we in Dubuque yet?"
Nom, we amt dar yit," he answered,
huslcily, "but We'll be dar in halfn
hour"
Thoroughly aroused and very angry
the Chicago man threw the curtain apart
and saw the porter grining feebly, with
his collar torn, his nose slit down the
middle and evident Commissions about each
of his eyes.
Here, you black rascal" shouted the
aggrieved traveller, didn't 1 tell you to
get me off at Rockford?"
Lord bless nah soul, mistah," said
the sable brother, jumping, sis you de
man dat was going to get off at Rock
fordP' Then adding, refectively, as he
felt of torn ear, 81 wonder who the
man was dat I put off at Rockford%-

Good Looks.

Good looks are more than skin deep,
depending upon healthy condition of
all the vital organs. If the liver be in
active, you have a bilious look, if your
stomach be disordered you have a dys-
peptic look and if your kidneys be af-
fected you have a pinched look. Secure
good health and you will have good
looks. Electric Bitters is the great al
terative and tonic, acts directly on these
vital organs. Cures pimples, blotches,
boils, and gives good complexion.
