Drinking and ApOplexy.

The Irish World presents to its read
ers the following wholesale lesson con-
corning alcohol and apoplexy. 1T is
the essential nature of all wines and
spirits to send an increased amount of
blood to the brain. The first effect Of
taking glass of wine or stronger form
of alcohol is to send the blood there
faster than common. Hence the circu-
lation that gives the red face. 1t in
creases the activity of the brain and it
works faster, and so does the tongue,
but as the blood goes faster than COM
mon to the brain, 1t returns faster and
no immediate harm may result. But
suppose man keeps on drinking; the
blood is sent to the brain so fast in
large quantities that in order to make
room for it the arteries have to charge
themselves. They increase in size,
and, in doing so, they press against
the more yielding, fiaccid veins which
carry the blood out of the brain. and
diminish the size of the pores-the re-
suit being that the blood is not only
carried to the arteries of tho brain
faster than is natural or healthful. but
is prevented from leaving it as fast as
usual. Hence double set of causes
of death are in operation. Hence a
man may drink enough brandy or
other spirits in few hours, or even
minutes, to bring on a fatal attack OF
apoplexy. This is being literally dead
drunk

gives the lie to the oft-repeated tales
OF tho terrible treatment OF slaves by
their masters. Had such been the
case Head and Ellis would never have
taken part in the stories am about to
tell They live almost in the shadow
of Andersonville prison. Ebert Head
is now about 65 years old. He is tall,
very dark negro, with an air Of keen
shrewdness. He has no children. He
was the slave OF DIR. Head OF Stewart
county, Georgia. or course he had a
telligent and saved whatever money
might have been given him. In 1856
he rented himself and wife from DIR.
Head and went to Americas. where he
opened laundry. He did well and
saved enough money to have bought
his and his wife's freedom, but he did
not care to do 30. After his freedom
was declared by the events Of the war
and he could buy land he invested his
savings in different ways. Early in the
'70's he bought big tract OF land in
Americas known as Mccoy hill. Upon
this he began gradually erecting negro
cabins, until now there are hundreds
OF them there. 1t Is here he made his
fortune. He is probably worth $780,
600, for he pays taxes on over $780,
600, aud Is the third richest negro in
the state. After his wife's death he
adopted several girls, educated them as
school teachers, and gave them start
in life.
Now, while Ebert Head was steadily
advancing in the way Of wealth, his
former master, like many southern
families, was steadily going backward.
The war had ruined him in every way.
The neighbors could not assist him for
they were bowed down in misfortune
equally as great. But Ebert had
watched the course of events. Secretly
at first he gave aid to his old master,
and finally furnished his entire sup
port released the old plantation from
debt, sent his young MASTER as he
calls him, to eastern medical colleges
and provided for him. Then old DIR.
Head died. The boy came back q
physician, and Ebert announced that
his fortune would go to his masters
son, outside Of such sum as he might
set aside for the education of the
negroes"

Voices Prom the Tomb.

The departed have not ceased their
communication with us, though the
visible chain is broken. II they are
still the same, they must still think
OF us. Ii they live there, they love
there. "God is not the God OF the
dead, but the God OF the living"
Then it is true, that they live there;
and they yet speak to us. From the
bright sphere, from that calm region,
from the bowers of the light immortal,
they speak TO us. They say to us.
Sigh no. in despair over the broken
and defeated expectations OF earth.
Sorrow not as those who have no hope.
Bear calmly and cheerfully thy lot.
Brighten the chain of love, of sympa-
thy; of communion with all pure
minds on earth and in heaven. Come,
children OF earth! come to the bright
and blessed land" -Orville Dewey.

Doctor Chalmers says: Holiness
Is stronger demonstration to my
mind OF the power Of God in the soul
OF man, than any miraculous mani.
festation whatever.
No argument in favor Of Christian
ity is equal to its effect on men and
society.
To convert sinner into q saint IL
more than to raise dead body.
To cleanse soul from all sin, is
more than to open blind eyes and un-
stop deaf ears.
TO cure a bad temper is more than
to cure cancer.
To bride and sanctify mischiev-
GUS and lying tongue, is more than 10

Cages.
OF the hope OF the world is, that
where sin abounded. grace did much
more abound. Not that lightning
was swung under the sea, but that
Christ died. That Ii the miracle Of
miracles.

Zinc Looking Old Wen.

One Of the peculiarities OF New York
is the number OF well-groomed old
men. In the west, and in many other
eastern cities, the old men seem to get
careless about dress, about their beard,
about the length OF their hair. But in
New York you see hundreds and thou
sands Of old men who keep themselves
in perfect bodily condition. At the
intersection Of Broadway and Fifth av-
enue this is particularly noticeable.
So it happens that the New York man
never grows old, but remains young
in complexion and dress, even though
the hair OF his head and Of his we'll
trimmed beard be white.-New York

pie to-day-people well off financially,
They gre not satisfied with enough.
but are continually reaching out for
more; and these people inculcate the
strictest morality. 1t is one OF the
mysteries of human life. Avarice is
the predominating element of their
souls. And yet there is another class
-uneducated-wh starve their bod
les in order to crafty their innate
propensity to accumulate wealth
wealth that is OF no sort OF use to
them. There are also many business
people who overreach their customers
whenever opportunity offers, and at
the same time keep their employees,
who are dependent upon them, at
starvation rates. This element Is
growing among the people in all con-
ditions OF life. and Is becoming worse
and worse, the tendency of which
is that the rich are rapidly
growing richer and the poor poorer.
Bat the inveterate miser is the worst
class OF all. In order to demonstrate
this in practical manner We have
only to state the fact, as an apt illus
tration, of woman In New York who
has at the age OF seventy lived Tor
forty years in most abject poverty in
the slums OF that city; found dying,
she was taken to the hospital on the
verge OF starvation, when were dis
covered tucked away in all sorts Of

also found two bank books represent

The world ~ Prison.

The world is vast prison house
under hard keepers We are in cells,
solitary and lonely, looking for re-
lease. BY the waters OF earthly Joy
and plenty to this worlds inhabitants,
to our flesh; but by the waters OF
lively affiiction to our souls. we sit
down and weep, when we remember
our home, from which death like IA
narrow stream divides US. We hang
our harps GA the willows in the midst
thereof; for they that Cypress require
Of us mirth, saying. Sing us one OF
the songs OF home. How shall we
sing the song OF the Lamb in strange
landp Oh for that home whore the
wicked will cease from troubling and
the weary have rest; where the good
fight will have been fought, the
dusty labor finished. and the crown
OF life given; when our eyes
will behold the only one that
ever knew our sorrows and trials, and
has horne with us in them ALL sooth-
ing and comforting ourpweary souls.
No new friend TO be made then, but
an old friend! Are you weary? So
was He. Are you sad? So was he.
Are yoD despised and laughed atP
So was He. Is your love repealed,
and does the world not care for youP
Neither did it for him. He has gra-
ciously takena lower, place than any
Of his people. Unutterably weary,
sad and lonely was He on this earth.
A Man OF sorrows. and acquainted
with grief. and strong crying and
teurs. And shall we repine at our
trials, which are but for moments?
We are nearing homo day by day. No
dark river, but divided waters are be-
fore us, add then let the world take
its portion. Dust it is. and dust we
will leave it. II heard voice
from heaven saying unto me.
Write, Blessed are the dead which die
in the Lord. even so saith the Spirit,
for they rest from their labors," rest
from their troubles, rest from works
of WEAKNESS, from sorrow, from tears,
from hunger, from thirst, and sad
sights of poor desp firing bodies and
signing hearts, who found no peace in
their prisons; from wars, and strifes,
and words, and judgments. 1t is a
long, weary journey. but we are we'll
on the way OF it. The yearly mile
stones quickly slip by; and, as our
days. so will our strength be. Per-
haps before another milestone is
reached, the wayfarcr may be in that
glorious Home. by the side OF that
river of life, where there Is no more
care. or sorrow. or crying, and rest
forever with that kind and well-known
Friend. The sand is flowing out OF
the glass, day and night, night and
day; shake it not. You have work
to do here, to suffer even as He suf-
fered. Gordon.

brands on sale in this State were
purchased and first analysed to
ascertain their leavening power The
Royal Bal Ing Powder is shown by
the tests Of both State analysts, Prof
Eberman and Prof. Drew, to contain
the greatest amount of leavening gas
of the cream of tartar powders thus
purchased and tested. Hence this
powder is officially ranked at the
head of the list.
The report attaches great Importance
to a series of experiments made to
ascertain the character, efficiency
and keeping qualities of the powders.
Baking powders that vary in strength
or that readily lose strength before
use, are unreliable and will not give
even results; besides, it is an in
tlication OF the use in their compound
lug OF improper ingredients. These
tests were applied to large number
OF samples of different ages of the
three cream of tartar powders best
known in Minnesota They showed
the strength or leavening power of
the Royal very much greater than
that Of the others. The uniformity
