There Is reason to believe that more
cases of dangerous and fatal diseases
are gradually engendered annually by
the habit of sleeping in small, unventi-
lated rooms than have occurred from a
cholera atmosphere during any year
since it made its appearance in this
country. Very many persons sleep
in sxl0 rooms-that is, in rooms the
length and breadth of which multi

again by 10, for the height of the

feet, while the space for each bed. &C.
cording to the English apportionment
for hospitals, is 2, 100 feet, but more in
order Ito give the air of a room the

French hospitals contract for a COM
plete renewal of the air of room every
hour, while the English assert that
double the amount, or over 1000 feet,
is required. Four thousand feet of air
each hour!
And yet there are multitudes in the
city OF New York who sleep with closed
doors and windows in rooms which do
not contain a thousand cubic feet Of
space, and that thousand feet is to last
all night, at least eight hours, except
such scanty supplies as may be obtained
of any fresh air that may insinuate it.

THE COST OF DRINK.
Germany's Yearly Loss Through the
Agency of Alcohol.


Agency of Alcohol.
DIR. Wilhelm Bode, of Hermsdorf,
near Dresden, in the Christian Welt,
thus arraigns alcohol for its fearful
work done in Germany:
The preparation of alcoholic intox.
icants robs us year by year of sixteen
million double hundredweight of grain,
twenty million double hundredweight of
potatoes, twenty-seven million double
hundredweight of coal, and many other
useful articles. 1t robs us, in other
words, of the harvest of 1,779.0
hectors, whose rye value would be
$50, 900, 900 marks; it robs every inhab.
liant of 6515 pounds of bread each year.
1t robs us of the working power OF
one man out of every sixteen: on its
battlefields we find each year 6,34s
wounded (lunatics, murderers, ETC. and
22S dead. The drink bill last year
robs us of 1000, 900, 900 marks, of which
we pay go, 900. 600 marks to foreigners
1t makes each year $4,000, 900 paupers tc
be supported by the state and by char,
ity; takes 4,235 German men each year
into the involuntary imprisonment OF
the working colonies, and endless mum
hers Of men. women and children into
other charitable institutions. At low
est estimate fully 1,SSS,OO0 German
men are shortening their lives through
these intOxicants; 1000 become suicides
each year from the same cause, 1, 800 are
injured by accidents, $4,000 lose their
minds and 100000 become transgres

A DEADLY DRINK.
some Forms of Alcohol More Fatal Than
Laudanum.

some Forms Of Alcohol More Fatal Than
Laudanum.
The first stage of drunkenness is
disorganization of the stomach, and
this is produced much more quickly
by subjecting it to the irritation OF
two or three stimulants at the same
time than by continuing to drink the
same for a much longer period.
Again, the stomach of a person &C
customed to taking alcohol usually be-
comes Injured to whatever may be his
favorite and more frequent drink, and
much more of this would be required
to make him drunk than of any other.
But if totally strange mixture of
more or less familiar intoxicants be
suddenly swallowed the shock to the
stomach is so great that it will in
some cases produce not only intoxica-
ton, but rapid insensibility and even
death if the dose is strong enough.
Some forms of alcohol are singularly
antagonistic, and therefore produce
the collapse of the stomach, and hence
of the whole system, much more quick
~ than others.
Perhaps the most fatal is mixture
of equal parts of whisky and strong
stout, a draught of which has been
known to kill a man more quickly
that an overdose of laudanum would

Spontaneous Human Combustion.

Dickens has been much criticised for
his apparent acceptance of the fact Of
spontaneous human combustion. BE
this as it may. the late Sir William
Gull, one of the most renowned of Brit
ish physicians and surgeons, testified To
a remarkable case before the committee
OF the house of lords on intemperance
during the summer of 1886 lie said.
"a large, bloated man, who was suffering
from difficult t-eathing. died at Guys
hospital. AT the post-mortcm on the
following day the body was found TO be
greatly distcnded with what proved to
be alcoholic gases. When puncturcs
were made in the skin and lighted
