THE EFFECT OF DRINK ON woRK1NaMR,.

THE EFFECT OF DRINK ON woRK1NGME1.
The firm of Samuel C. Tatum &, Co., who
have large foundry and machine shops in
Cincinnati, O., and who are very widely
known all over that State, say.
"A drinking man will turn out ten to
twenty per cent. less work than a non.
drinker. and in addition it is apt to be defec-
tive and require overhauling. This is espe-
cially true OF heavy beer drinkers A work.
considerable extent and still be capable OF a
bright idea or suggestion: but not so with
beer-drinkers; they become heavy. sodden.
lack ambition and sgldom vary the mode of
their work. When one workman drinks too
much it effects the work of Others on the
principal that 'little 1eayen 1eavens the
whole lump" The workmen Of a shop are
parts Of great machine, and the inability Of
part to perform its functions will derange
the whole. The amount of this arrangement
will be in exact proportion to the number Of
parts affected. The employer pays for what
he gets. II drink decreases a mans output
ten to twenty per cent. he will receive that
much less, or the employer will retire from
business, unless he can command sufficient
sober help to make up the shortage Of the
drinkers. Arbitration Of labor difficulties
would be an exceedingly easy matter, and
long strikes would be unheard Of, il saloons
were C!OSeu. All luo UrCuUle We ever QaQ
with our hands could be traced directly to
saloon influence"
The testimony Of many Others is exactly
in line with the above. That the habit of
steady drinking impairs the quality Of work.
manship wherever skilled handiwork Is in
volved, is too patent to oquestion. The trem-
bling hands of a habitual drinker cannot have
that firm, strong, yet light and sure touch
which is a sine qua non for fr5t-class work.
The befuddled brain loses its power Of &C.
curate judgment: the unsteady eye does not
remain the safe, sure guide it can become by
training, when in its normal condition. Not
only is the quality Of the work impaired, but
its quantity is decreased. II the working
man is paid by the piece. or the quantity,
this does not directly act unfavorabIy on the
employers pocket; but it does indirectly, by
requiring more men to do given amount Of
work within certain time. II he works by
the day be is an expensive luxury, and will
be certain Of discharge on some pretext. An
other point made by Messrs. Tatum & Co.,
which is so true and so important that it
should meet with attention from every labor
union or other association Of workingmen
is that a drinking man has generally bad
effect on the whole establishment in which
he is employed. As the above letter truly
says, "vorkmen are but the parts of one
great machine, and the inability Of any part
TO discharge its functions accurately and
properly deranges the whole. ."-Sacred

TEMPERANCE.
INSANITY IN FRANCE.

A recent convention Of French physicians
reported that insaity from alcoholic use Is
more prevalent In that country than else
where. In the last seventeen years insanity
has increased thirty per cent, and almost
entirely in tho branches of alcoholic insanity
and of general paralysis. Very little in
crease is noticed in mania, melancholia and
chronic delirium. and therefore alcohol and
overwork are responsible for most Of the in
crease. The proportion Of women among
these increases is about one-flfth. The use
of alcoholic liquors by the French people,
taken as whole, is not much greater than
in other countries; but their nervous. high
strung natures cannot stand the effect so
we'll as the stolid Britisher or phlegmatic
Germans. Americans in their peculiar
nervous temperaments and nervous life, re-
sembIe the French more than either the
English or the Germans, and their constitu.
tions are more susceptible to the poison Of
the alcohol. This has everything to do IN
producing insanity from this cause.

of waits from the slums of Soho. Recently

what Is the use Of having gate that is not

nothing for its music. 1t is all free. There

1t Is understood here that Scott
shot man in Mendocino County
some time ago and has only been
out of the State Prison some eight months.
The men had some trouble few days ago
over debt which Scott owed Vaughan, and
they came to hard words when Scott
arose as il to come toward Vaughan,
and the latter raised shotgun
which was standing near and told him to
sit down. They had not met since, until to-
night, when Scott came along where
Vaughan was standing, and said. well. are
you fixcd?' and Vaughan laughed and
said, mo, you have got the best

three shots, one of them entering
Vaughans breast Just below the heart,
and it is not yet known how
seriously he is hurt. Scott started
to run, but Sheriff Mckenzie CHANGED to be

Improvements and Benefits Discussed at
Its Meeting.
The Howard-Street Extension and In
prOyement Club held its weekly meeting at
the hall corner of Valencia and Twenty
eighth streets, last evening, r. E. Doran
presiding.
A great deal of time was taken up in a
discussion of the establishment of the
grades on Cortland avenue, some of the
members holding that a cut of sixteen feet
Is proposed in some places. The subject was
referred to committee TO ascertain its
present status and to ascertain the differ
euce between thu present and the new

0FFICIOUS AND LAZY.
A County Hospital Attendant Strongl,
Condemned.

A County Hospital Attendant Strongly
Condemned.
That everything is not conducted as it
should be at night at the City and County
Hospital is becoming painfully obvious to
residents in that neighborhOod and to per-
sons who are compelled to go there for i'll
formation or on other business.
On Monday night a young woman in a
delicate condition was taken there for
treatment. Entrance was gained only after
considerable trouble. Fully fifteen minutes
passed before the obtuse gate-keeper, either
through pure stupidity or from the wish to
make others feel the weight of his authority,
would admit the inquirer after the resident
physician.
On January I'd the Seventeen th-street Do
lice patrol went to the hospital with a
wounded man at o'clock in the morning.
After a half hours changing of the hospital
ball and f1ot-bell on the wagon, the gate
keeper appeared, with the excuse that he
had been lat supper"
On the 2lSt tire same patrol carried to the
hospital James Mckee, carpenter, who
had fallen from balcony and sustained
fractured ribs and internal injuries The
hour was o'clock in the morning, and
Yious occasion was had before the sleepy
attendant answered the summons.
He had the same excuse of being at sup
per. When the officer in charge of the
wounded man asked 20 what extent he was
liable in case his delay should cause the
death of an otherwise seriously wounded
person suggestive Shrug of his shoulders
was the only reply. He is accused with be-
ing lazy and offci0us.
