back, gulped down two t,ifnblc Of
brandy that he had provided before
hand, and then, and not before, felt
that he was ready to do the deed, and
did it.
Nfne-tenths of the total number of
crimes that stain humanity are commit
ted in the same way: ''First take a
drink to give you courage" People are
well acquainted with this property OF
alcohol to deaden the voice of con-
science, and they deliberately make use
Of it for this very purpose.
Nor is this all. Not only do people
cloud their own faculties in order to
stine the voice of conscience, but,
knowing what the effect of alcohol is,
whenever they wish to make other poo
pie perform an act that is contrary to
the dictates of their conscience they
purposcly stupefy them in order to rem.
der them temporarily deaf to its remon-
strances. In war soldiers are always
| made drunk when they are about to be
sent into close hand-tohand combat.
During the storning of Sebastopol all
the French soldiers were completely
intoxicated. After the storming of a
fortress in the Central Asian war, when
the Russian soldiers showed no inclina-
ton to plumber and kill the defenseless
old men and children of the place, Sko-
belof ordered them to be duly piled
with brandy till they were drunk.
Then they rushed out to accomplish
the CHASTITY work.-Tolstoi. in Contem-
p0rarv Review,

BURNING BREATH,

The Terrible End OF an Habitual Drunk.
ard.
That human being may become so
completely supersaturated with alcohol
as to take fire at the mouth as readily
as a barrel of whisky at the bung-holc
seems tc be an established fact. Dick
ems, who kills off the rag-and-b bottle
merchant in ''Bleak House. in this way,
claims to have investigated the subject
thoroughly, and quotes many apparent
~ we'll authenticated instances of what
is called spontaneous combustion.
Nevertheless, the possibility of the
thing has been doubted by considera-
BILE number of scientific men.
Many years ago all incbriate of the
name of Note, a German, residing at
Columbus, Ind, was found dead in Il
condition which warranted the belief
that he had literally caught fire at the
lips and been destroyed by internal
combustion. His mouth had been
burned to shapelcss hole, his tongue
charred to a crisp, and all the respirato-
ry organs partially consumed.
There is nothing incredible in this;
the only wonder is that cases of the
kind are infrequent. There are thou
sands of habitual drunkards whose
breath is simply an alcoholic fume,
and it is surprising that it does not ig.
mite when it comes in close contact
with flame. There must be such large
percentage of infammablc gas in vapor
smelling SO strongly of spirits that it
would hardly surprise us to see any one
of these iquor-soalzed individuals com.
bust, as Nolte is supposed to have done
while lighting 4 cigar.
1t is not correct, however, to call a
catastrophe of this nature spontaneous
com bustion. The human body never
bursts into flames, like a stack OF
damp hay, by reason of heat generated
within itself. 1t is only when external
fire reaches the animal phlogiston-o,
combustible clemcnt-that it ignites
When man is surcharged with alcohol
he had better not smoke, lest he share
the fate of Andrew Noltc.-N. Y.

how many lay concealed within it, and
at last they hit upon the very plan 1
had been dreading.
"A lighted torch was thrown over
and a quantity of leaves and moss was
pushed after it. But their amiable in.
tention of smoking us out failed, owing
to the dampness of the leaves and moss
and my having deluged the floor of the
cave with all the water we had on hand
Seeing this fail they summoned up
courage to enter the cavern, and as we
saw the five forms leap over the edge
the women and I opened on them. I
killed my man instantly, and so cid
Mrs. Ridley, who Immediately let a
dusky devil who. screaming, rushed
upon her, have the full contents of the

'.The other woman missed her aim.
and the next moment was in the grasp
of one of the Indians, but before could
come to her rescue her son, a hoy of
twelve, had flung his arms around the
redskins neck, and, hanging on his
back, kept him from striking, when the
woman, picking ursa tomahawk, struck
him a tremendous blew on the fore
head. He dropped like log, crushing
the COY beneath him. The remaining
Indian, seeing his companions fall,
made q break FOR the entrance, and was

broken arm and ball In his side.
Seeing him helpless and thinking
him dying. I did not shoot again, but

on their courage, which, however, was

was over. rolled the Indian off the
boy, who was considerably bruised by
the weight of the dead body, but other
wise not hurt. The wounded Indian l
found to be an old acquaintance of
mine, ana, seeing he was dying rapidly,
did not disturb him. He told me that,
finding Ridley's camp deserted, the
main party had gone back home, but
that, suspecting me of having warned
them, some of the young hotbloods had
followed us to be avenged on me. They
were pretty certain that l was the only
man in the party, but did not know but
what others had joined us. 49,

Swell Young Drinkers.

Said the manager of well-known
cafe, recently: 1.-THE heaviest drinkers we
have are young men not far from twenty
years of age, who come here after the
opera or dance, arrayed in dress suits.
They drop in to chat for an hour, and
spend their time in drinking liquors and
wines, meanwhile smoking cigarettes.
Of course they do not consume as much
nc tho topper of tlft:-- years, but these
fresh faced young fellows drink much
r orc than the average business man
who comes here. They spend a great
deal of money this way and am very
sorry to see it. The manager of an
other cafe, in speaking of the same
subject, remarked: ''Some time ago
we had the same class come here-sons
of rich men and society women. But
VIC got rid of them. Their patronage
was lucratice, but undesirable, and
am glad they go elsewhere now. There
can be no doubt but the swell young
men here drink very often, and large
quantities, too. don't like to see it, of
course, and wish that their mothers
and sisters and sweethearts would try
to break them Of the habit. ~ hilac

THE kOIA NUT.

1t Contains Poison as Intoxicating As
Whisky.
An article is going the rounds of the
papers to the effect that the kola nut
has properties which make it a valu-
able remedy for curing drunkenness,
and that if a nut were put into the
mouth of a man insensibly drunk in
fifteen minutes he would rise and no.one
would know he had been drinking, and
further that the effects of the nut would
be to produce nausea in his throat and
month if he attempted to use alcohol
again. AS matter Of fact, however,
the kola nut contains a poison which
is used as a means of intoxication. and
one might as we'll be drunk on whisky
as on the kola nut.
do not know of any drug that will
quickly neutralizc the effects of drunk,
cnness unless it be ipecacuanha. A
man who was put under my care to be
reformed from the drink habit,
brought with him bottle which he
would not give up; but finally it was
emptied, and he then begged of me to
give him just ore more drink. l asked
him how much he wanted for a drink.
and he thought a half pint would do. l
said no, that is too much; but sent up
to him about a quarter Of pint of
whisky to which had added dram of
tr. ipecacuanha. AS Il result, he was
obliged to unswallow his potion at
once, and it destroyed his appetite for
whisky for long timc.-Dr. J. II.

Cancelled Postage STAMPS.

The craze for collecting postage
stamps has somewhat abated and will
probably remain quiet until some one
gets another generation enthused in
the matter. a man who once had a
large business in buying and selling
Cancelled stamps says that, like Othello,
his occupation is gone. The last boom
in the stamp business was caused by a
paragraph, originally published in a
Massachusetts paper, stating that an
old lady was trying to collect million
cancelled stamps, for which a wealthy
friend had agreed to give her thou
sand dollars. In going from one paper
to another the item was fatally twisted
until it was finally announced that q
million Cancelled stamps was worth q
thousand dollars. Then there was rush
for cancelled stamps and the dealers did
good business for a time. There is
always a slight demand for foreign
stamps as curiosities, and the price Of
some old issues on account Of their
scarcity run up to startling prices. and
equal the price for rare coins. Texas
