Something New About Drinking

An American doctor says
drinking men are usually fine
looking men, physically consid.
cred. Nothing is the matter with
theil stomachs. It would be bet
ter for the unfortunates if the
disease did attack the digestive or.
cans, but the truth is that alcohol
considered as poison, has, like
n.iler poisons, an elective affinity
,cf particular part of the body
nnI itselects the brain and nerves
Taken into the stomach, in three
SIC ,nds it reaches the brain, and
raps upon the fine substance OF
the terminal arteries which spread
over The convoluted folds of brain
matter like a file. This produces
congestion of the brain. Drinking,
as habit is due largely to over
work. and a need for a stimulant.
Liquors effect is acute or tenn
porary insanity, while chronic
drinking brings on paralysis of
the brain, and destroys the moral
character of man. Dipsomania is
always accompanied by loss of
moral stamina, by cowardice and
falsehood. Even the moderate
drinker becomes debased.

A Candidates Blunder.

Some wears ago young aspirant
for office in Iowa drove up to a
hotel, alighted and engaged room.
He desired his trunk taken to his
room; and seeing a man passing,
whom he supposed to be the porter.
he imperiously ordered him to take
it up. The porter charged him
twenty-five cents, which he paid
with a plugged quarter, worth
only twenty cents. He then said,
"You know Governor Grimes?"
"Oh, yes, STRIP 'Well, take my
card to him, and tell him, Iwish
an interview at his earliest con-
venience." "I am Governo r
Crimes" said the supposed porter; ;
"at your service, sir" 'sYou-I-

How a Farmer shaves.

a farmer shaving is one OF the |
most pitiable sights ever witnessed
outside of downright butchery.
For some reason beyond the press
ent depth of knowledge the man
who ssbeardo in the country always
has a beard like a new hair-brush,
and he can never learn how tol
sharpen a razor. He gets on the
back porch with his shaving
utensils, and after rubbing tlee
razor over the strop in an awk.
ward fashion until whss ssssyer trace
of edge it may have had has been
destroyed, he h'.ngs up his broken
glass and F-es a position along
side the kitcher door where the
old lazy will be sure to jostle his
arr when she goes out to empty
her dishater. With a brush that
has little but handle remaining he
manages to stir up lot of lathel
from, soap that would raise a blister
on the bottom of boys foot, anc
with this he coats his face till moth
ing but his eyes and the back Of
his head are visible. With his
thumb dipped in warm water he
goes over the stubble again with
a yigor that makes his flesh creep,
until he feels that all reasonable
precautions for comfort in the
subsequent operations have been
taken. Taking,the razor and look
ing at it suspiciously over the
top of his glasses, he runs his
thumb along the edge, fails to
draw blood as he had hoped, and
then, with q sigh, grabs himself
by the nose, shuts his eyes and
gives scrape that makes his hair
stand on end as a bunch of bristles
seems to come out by 4he roots.
Bnt, once at it, a terrible despera-
ton seems to nerve him, and with
his teeth set, he goes right on with
a determination to get the agony
over as soon as possible. Howls of
woe break from him now and then
as ali expression that poisons life
steals over his face and stops there
until the last nerve has been
pulled out of socket by that
terrible razor and the last bit of
stubble has been laid low. Then
only then, with a sigh of relief,
he strikes up a hymn Of thanks
giving, and joyfully throws his
shaving paper into the ashpit lear
by.

Heart religion is the ali in all
with God. If that be wanting
outward forms are worthless. That
was the matter with the Jews in
the time of Christ. Their religion
had degenerated from a real,
sincere obedience to the Lord until
there was nothing left of it but the
forms. To this there is great
proneness in human nature.
Strange as it may seem. the less
heart there is the greater the de.
mand for form.-Christian
