KELLEY, the motor man, explains the
latest cause of delay, as follows: Il
am making sympathetic harness for
the polar terrestrial force-frst, by
exciting the sympathetic concordant
force that exists in the corpuscular
interstltial domain, which is concord
ant to it; and, second, after the con-
cordance is established, by negatizing
the thirds, sixths and ninths of this
concordance, thereby inducing high
velocities with great power by inter-
mittent negation, as associated with
the dominant thirds"

FACTS CT INTEREST,

PROF. OsLER writes to the New York
Medical Journal that in all the large
hospitals of Germany cases of diseases
of the heart. coming directly from ex-
cessive use of beer, are common.
MR. d. LLOYD GEORGE, Nj. P. for
Carnarvon, in contrasting temperance
sentiment in the country forty or fifty
years ago with the present day, noted
the fact that Charles Dickens has not a
single teetotaler among his male char
acters, whereas it would be impossible
for a Charles Dickens of our days to
ignore them. There were one hundred
and sixty teetotalers in the house of
commons.
A CINCINNATI judge says of men who
drink from twenty to fifty glasses of
beer per day and still apparently keep
their heads: ''They are simply be-
numbed with drunkenness. even though
they can talk and work, and are in no
sense responsible to the law as adults.
could not hold such a man response
bic any more than if he had been prov
en- idiotic or crazy" The public must
look out for itself.
ATTENTION is again called by Mr..
William Livesey to the appalling figures
of the Irish annual drink bill. During
the past twelve months there has been
an increase in the consumption of 1885,
93S gallons of spirits and 113, 963 barrels
of beer, in Ireland, the total reven-
Ne from excise being s4,695. 1l6,
which does not take in illicit stills
Public houses are by far the most num-
crous in the poverty stricken localities.
The drinking, chewing and smoking
population of the United States spends
fifteen hundred millions of dollars in
liquors and tobacco each year; there is
one rum saloon to every one hundred
and seven voters east of the Mississippi
river and one to every forty-three voters
west of the Mississippi; and two hun
dred and fifty thousand saloons in these
states and territories of the union waste
enough of hard substance to feed,
clothe and pay the house rent of every
family in United States.
THE report giving the quantity of
distilled liquors used in works of ART,
etc, in Texas shows that only 2, 101 gal
Ions of highwines were consumed,
whereas of sour mash, old bourbon,
rye, and such like, we devoted to art
during the year 90,S60 gallons and up
ward. The wide difference is readily
accounted for when we remember that
only a few drops of wine are needed to
make the cheeks red and rosy, but that
the young men use whole gallon of
low wines to paint the town red after
the party breaks up and they come in
from the suburbs.-Dallas News.
A FAMOUS school in Paris, the Poly-
.technic school, gives us an important
item about smoking. Dividing the
young men of the college into groups,
the smokers and non-smokers, il is
shown that the smokers nave proved
themselves, in the various examine
tions, far inferior to the others. Not
only in the examinations on entering
the school are the smokers In . lower
rank. but In oil the various ordeals they
have to pass through, In year che

A DANGEROUS HABIT.

No Harm VIII Como from Suddenly
'-' Checking 1t.
When asked, recently, in a question
box lecture, if it would be safe for a
man who had been smoking for thirty
years to break off from the habit sud-
denly; that is, if it would not be too
great a shock to his physical nature, re-
ply was made after this fashion,:
If a man has been stealing or swear
ing for thirty years would it be too great
a shock to his moral nature to break
off suddenly? What would you think of
a reformer who advised such person
to steal smaller articles or tell milder
lies for awhile before he gave up the
bad practices altogether? The cases
are analogous. Every time man
smokes he does himself harm and the
sooner he stops the better. In COLI
tinued stealing one might see selfish
benefit in the accumulation of property,
but the man who smokes gets nothing
out Of it. In the first place he loses tho
money he paid for the cigar, and in the
second place the act of the smoking
consumes time and vitality, and thi1tl-

energy in getting rid of the poison thus
taken into the system. A man who
has smoked thirty years must be IL
great cigar himself with the tobacco
hanging upon his breath constantly
since his overworked eliminative or
gans can no longer do their part in car
rying off the poison. His tobacco
heart will be likely to give out sud-
denly some day unless he speedily re-
forms.-Dr j. Ii. Kellogg.
