ALCOHOLISM IN FRANCE.

At the recent Congress of Mental Medi-
cine at Lyons DR.. Paul GARNER made re-
port which indicates the alarming growth OF
alcoholism in France. During the period
1885 SO there were sent to the Depot" special
infrmary for lunatics $3.50 persons, OF whom
s139 were found to be mentally deranged.
OF these the per centages of cases due to
alcohol were, in 1885, A.91 per cent, In
1883 e9.34 per cent. and during the perioa
cases of lunacy due to drink has risen from
S67 to 7s9, j. e., it has nearly doubled within
that time. Worst of all, alcoholism on the
part of women is rapidly overtaking that on
the part of men, in 1874 there being hfty-two
cases in 1883 no fewer than 125.

DRUNKENNESS CURED BY MAGIC.

A great deal has been said and written
about the crime Of drunkenness, and the
disease Of drunkenness. Theorists have
drawn fine distinctions about these two
phases Of the appetite for alcohol until the
non.professional man is completely puzzled.
As a result Of it all, however, the very dan
gerous belief is gaining ground that the
drunkard is not responsible for his condition,
and the disease theory is more generally ac-
cepted As natural result the drunkard
cure is heralded all over the country, and
the victims of alcohol spend hundreds and
thousands of dollars chasing phantom.
Drunkenness cannot be cured by medicine.
nor by magic. There is no royal road to
virtue. The man who habitually drinks to
excess has formed q habit which Is condh-
ton produced by repeated acts, and the only
way to break that habit is by repeated acts
in the opposite direction. That man must
become convinced Of the necessity for ab-
staining; he must resolve firmly to abstain,
and to shun the occasions Of temptation; he
must obtain the grace Of God through
prayer and the sacraments to enable him to
keep tina; resolution. and he will soon t,e-
come a sober man. A good physician can
help to settle his nerves, and SETTLE mis- OUT
ragged stomach, but he will do so by well
known, legitimate means. Nophysiclau can
destroy the appetite for drink, because once
formed it will last forever. 1t may cease TO
be unfortunate if it is habitually curbed,
but it will never die until its owner dies.
There is no royal road to so5riety. The
mind must be convinced, the will must be
moved, the grace Of God must be invoked,
the aid of good regularly practicing physi..
clan may be sought and the sober man will
be made.-C. T. 4. Ne1OS.

~ see you had something about Senator

last night at the New York hotel, "but I
can tell you good story about Governor
Nicolls, of Louisiana. You know Governor
Nicolls lost an arm and a leg, but SO deftly
have the artificial members been fitted to
the stumps that few people are in the secret
of his loss. He is looked upon by the
negroes with the utmost reverence. They
say he is an awful 'hoodoo, and they would
not try to cheat him or annoy him for the
value of the world.
"Some time ago, while on visit to a
friend, he left his negro body-se1 want at
home, and his friend sent bright negro
lad Of eighteen to help the governor un-
dress. The boys name was Ned, and when
the governor was ready to retire, he
stretched out his artificial leg, saying:
Ned, remove that leg. Ned's eyes began
to open with horror, but he took the leg
off. Now unscrew that arm, said the gov
ernor, calmly. Ned looked at him with his
eyes bulging until nothing but the whites
were to be seen, but he took off the arm

Or course a purchaser has right to buy
where he pleases, but if he can buy to as
good advantage at home as at any other
place, there are obvious reasons why he
should. Every one who has an interest in
the growth and prosperity Of Olympia will
contribute what he can to their promotion
and patronize home merchants and home
manufacturers in preference to ordering his
goods from merchants and manufacturers
in Seattle, Tacoma and Portland Olym-

EXTRA SESSION.

The OLYMPIA TRIBUNE thinks an extra

strikes the Review that an extra session
should have been called Immediately upon
the return of the governor from alitor-
MA. Now the iron IS cold. 1t is not prob
able that Governor Ferry will take such
action after the golden opportunity has
p sssed. AT leasy his conversation while
he was IN Spokane not long ago was far

extra call and left good margin in addi-
ton to the amount required to meet the
running expenses of the state for a year.
1t is charged in some quarters that the
governor will not call the extra session fol
fear the Northern Pacific railroad may
suffer by wholesale reduction of freight
rates, but it has been some years since the
governor was attorney for that road, and
there does not appear to be much kicking
east Of the mountains since the road re-
duced rates and put on enough cars tc
haul away the immense crop. What calls
more loudly foran extra session than any
thing else is the defective laws of the last
session with reference. particularly to the
appropriations, and the failure Of the
governor to patch up schemes to tide oyel
the difficulties until the next legislature
assemblies in January, 1898. If the Review
thinks ''the iron is cold on this subject il
is mistaken.
