ALCOHOL AND CHILDREN.

Some Of the Dangerous Effects of
Stimulants on Young People.
From the New York Belle trisches Jour-
nal.
Very many people, and among them
not the least well educated, think
that alcohol is q cure for sicknesses
and indispositions, and in such cases
even children are frequently COM
PEELED to make use of it. If il is still
a question as to whether the use of
alcohol produces the wished for
and expected results in the case of
men who feel indisposed, there is
not the slightest doubt that for chill
dren alcohol is a poison in every case,
whose after effects may be inexpress-
IDLY far-reaching. Prof. Demme cites
noteworthy case of the injurious eff
fects of alcohol on q boy, which should
serve as q warning. For the purpose
of Strengthening" his 10-year-old
son, who was very intelligent, but
physically weak, an anxious father
administered daily, at first glass,
then several glasses, of strong Mala-
ga wine. After some weeks the
parent noticed that the boy WAS
steadily declining. Finally, by order
of the physician, the supply was en-
tirely discontinued, and i'll the
course of six or eight weeks
the boy recovered His men,
tai powers had become so
weak that at times he did not know
his own name, failed to recognize his
relatives and could scarcely point out
the simplest objects in d sily use. But
as is often the case with fathers
who belive in using alcohol, this one
could not allow himself to be con.
WINGED of it's injurious effects. He
could not bear to withhold this sup
posed strengthening article, and he
again staked his sons life and health
on this belief. This time he expert
mented with beer and gave the boy
wine glass full every noon and even
ing. In few week he observed the
same significant decline of memory
and the same dwindling OF his sons
mental powers, which were again re-
covered when the use os alcohol was
at last forever ended. Reasonable
thinkers can scarcely understand
how well informed people are able to
deny this and similar effect of alcohol.
This destructive influence upon
thought and the. mental powers is
selfevident, and every one who does
brain-work will be a proof of this If
he allows himself to be led to use
alcohol. That this effect will become
greater by continued use need not be
mentioned. And now the same re-
suit has been found in the delicate
unused faculties of child. 1t is
iDeXcusable for any parent to
allow his children to have even taste
of alcohol. How many sicknesses for
which one has valnly sought an eX-
PLANTATION would be unders TODD IL the
careIessness of parents in this respect
were known. A child should be
taught to fear alcohol rs 1t breads the
fire. 10 is sad that this is so seldom
the case There are even frivolous
fathers who give their children strong
drink for 'joke," instead Of becom-
ing acquainted with the spectacle
afforded by the play Of the child's
natural inclinations.

A WONDERFUL CLOCK,

The Mystery Is in the Force That
Moves the Accurate Timer.
Jewellers Weekly.
w. Wollman, the jewler Of Council
Bluffs, To-, has given the curious am
pie opportunity to test the ingenuity
in an endeavor to fathom the mystery
ola clock which he has recently COM
pleted and placed in one of his show
windows. So far the most persistent
have failed to discover the influence
that impels the unique time-pieoe so
accurately to record the hour and
minutes. A short time ago Mr.. Woll
man made al electric clock that at
tracted attention, not only In Council
Bluffs, but in expert circles else
where.
The mysterious clock is far ahead Of
the electric apparatus in many re-
spects. In appearance it represents
the colored alcohol signs in drug
store window, being simply two glass
globes placed one above the other.
They are supported by q delicate
pedestal, which is notched to show
that it does not conceal mechanism.
The base is q piece of solid cherry
wood turned out s inches in diameter.
From this the slender pedestal rises
and supports the first globe, which
is about inches in diameter. On
this globe is dial marking the min
utes. Screwed to the base Is solid
metal hand, which points to the
minutes as they go by, the globe
making one complete revolution in
each hour.
Above this is the smaller globe,
about inches in diameter, with q
dial around its equator indicating the
hours. A piece of silver plated steel
spring bent In the form OF figure 8 10
screwed to the base, forms the top
support for the two globes, and car
ries the stationery hand that points
out the hours on the smaller globe
| which revOlves once In twelve hours.
The globes are OF very thin and trans
parent glass, and have no apparent
connection with each other. at the
top or at the base, except by the del!-
cate pivots that penetrate only a
small traction of an inch into the
glass and form the axes upon which
| the globe revolves. Another peculi-
arity that renders the mystery of the
mechanism still more profound Is the
fact that either of the globes can be
revoIved backward or forward on the
delicate pivots with great rapidity
and without injury. When the mo-
ton ceases they resume their fune.
tions, losing only the time occupied
in spinning them.
| The whole device is set on mirror
in the show case and can be picked
up and examined at wills The mys-
terry is the force that moves the globe
so accurately and continuously, one
just twelve times faster than the
other, and both IN perfect time with
the jewelers. regulator. which looks
down upon the mechanical device al
much mystified as the mechanics
expert who critically examines the
novel clock, or the street gamin wht
gazes upon it through the show win
dow. 1t has been intimated that sun
light or heat is the motive power, bu
Mr.. Wollman has disproved this by
placing the time piece in the shadow
With the exception of the glas'
globes, every part of the mechanism
has been made by Mr.. Wollnan q
his bench. 1t Is q strange and re
msrkable production, and bids fair Il
remain q puzzle until its maker see
fit to reveal his secret.

transfer of cars from ono road to another by~
freight and IN tho general transit of through
ca.s that are not expected to stop Mt this ter

worst OWL Many cousignors seem to think
that they have a right to keep a car for days
or weeks for storage purposes, to suit their
own ends simply because it is not convon.
iont to cart the goods away, or because
they do big business with the
roads. Some of them have an understanding
with the companies by which they are al
lowed the cars as Il sort of rebate. Several
like organizations in other parts of the Couu-
try have done good work in reducing such
evils TO a minimum and III restoring rolling

needed according to accounts, than in tho

for cars to lie idle an average of a week or
