The flushing of the face, caused by
the dilation of the small blood vessels,
usually induced by alcohol when taken
alone, is symptomatic of what takes
place in the stomach. The direct nc.

Poisoned by Tropical Fish.

When the British steamer Yorker
arrived ut Marseilles from Rangoon
the captain reported that several of his
crew had died in terrible agony after
partaking of some fish which had been
caught in tropical waters In these
regions many fish are found which at
certain seasons, or it may be in the
case of some species always, are ex.
exceedingly poisonous when used as
food. Fhis is especially the case with
such fish as feed on medusB and on
certain coral banks Experts assure
us that great caution has to be OBJ
served in eating fish caught IN tropical
waters, and too much attention can
not be bestowed on the warnings of
those whose experience Of the fish
found in various neighborhoods en-.
ablcs them to say which should be
avoided as articles Of diet This sub
ject is fully discussed in some Of this
earlier ch.pters of Gunter's '.Fish, !" a

MILES OF GROG SHOPS.

Tho Magnitude of the Liquor Business In
New York City.
It is said that in New York city there
are 8, 400 saloons and that if they were
placed side by side they would extend
fifty miles. The yearly income of these
groggeries amounts to $54, 600. OOO, &C.
cording to official estimates. The pub
lie schools of the state of New York
are outnumbered by the saloons in New
York city and Brooklyn.
These facts are cited to show that
young men have a wider field of in
t1uence in the temperance cause than
is indicated by simple abstinence. The
figures given for the great cities of
New York state are similar to those
that might he presented for any SEQ
tion of this country, the chief differ
ence being proportionate to the popula-
ton.
But what can total abstinence
young man do to help the temperance
cause? He can do many things; but
only one thing will be mentioned at
this time. 1t is TO he observed that the
whisky-selling business is not respect
able-except, indeed, in cases where
large profits have made men rich and
their money has blinded the eyes Of
conscienceless people who would accept
the devil as friend if he were only
gold plated. But the common saloon.

liquor over the counter, is not received

lion of him, except, of course, in his
own saloon. This indicates that tt.rse
who drink condemn the business in
their hearts, and that they consider
themselves socially above those whom
they patrOnize. This is as it should I've.
One of the greatest dangers of the
drinking habit lies in the fact that men
who are otherwise respectable are
guilty of this vice. And just here is the
opportunity of temperate young
men. They may SO constantly
condemn the tipping habit that
those who indulge. in it will he
forced out of respectable society or
out of the habit. There are thousands
OF young men who are not as yet SO
thoroughly welded to drink that they
woald not made right choice If they
were forced to decide between beer
and responsibility. To .:take-a drink
is no slight matter and is not to be
laughed at. When the disastrous re-
suits of intemperance are to be seen in
such appalling abundance on every
hand, it is saddening in the extreme to
note with what Indifference Christian

equaled by that exhibited when men

This IS the one method Of combating
the evil which we seek to present IN
