The Effects of Alcohol In Cases of Critical
Illness.
DR. J. Ellis, author of the "Avoidable
Causes of Disease" in recent letter,
says:
Il can not close without earnestly
calling the attention of all physicians
to the great danger to life which re-
suits from giving alcohol in any form
to patients in very critical cases, or as
they are at or approaching the crisis in
their disease, in fevers and in infiam-
matory diseases, such as pneumonia,
etc The effects of alcohol is to para
lived the minute capillary vessels
throughout the body and fill them with
blood which produces redness upon the
surface and sensation of warmth
The separation of waste and WORKOUT
materials and their removal is largely
effected through these minute blood
vessels, and it is through them that
&urishment reaches all the structures
OF the body; consequently the almost
constant state of congestion of these
minute vessels-which results from
regular, moderate drinking-interferes
very seriously with this change of puri-
fcation and renewal of all the struc-
lures of the body. AS a result, while
some drinkers die from drunkenness,
many more die from apoplexy, paraiy
sis, laryngitis and bronchitis, heart
failure, fatty degeDeration of the
heart, diseases of the stomach and
liver, Bright's disease of the kid
neys, etc, and especially from
an inability to either resist or with
stand epidemic, contagious or inham-

has ever been adopted than to give a

1.-THE important part which fungi are
intended to play in the economy of ma
ture, chiefly as scavengers, is indicated
by the plentiful provision made for
their reproduction, said student of
vegetable pathology to Star writer.
$50 widely distributed are the germs
of these plants that every breath of air
you take probably contains several
kinds. They are everywhere in the at
mosphere, ready to develop themselves
whenever the peculiar conditions
adapted to each species are offered
This accounts for the prevalence of
those roublesome forms of vegetation
which are called mold 'mildew,' and
so forth. Fruit preserves are very apt
to afford a propagating ground for
mold, and likewise any pair of shoes
which you may leave unworn for any
length of time. There is sort of
cheese, much priced by epicures, which
derives its flavor from the quantity of
fungus vegetation it contains. 1t is pre-
pared simply by breaking up the curd
and exposing it for day or two, in
small humps laid upon a cloth, to the
sun and air. There it receives the spores
of the fungi, which vegetate in it and
spread their growth through the mass
while it is yet soft
"All the energies of the fungus plant
seem to be directed to the production
of germs for propogating it's kind.
Their number is often almost incalcu-

being so small that it is difficult to con-

be excluded. Their astonishing fer
tility and rapidity of growth are among
the most remarkable characteristics OF

plant has been known to attain u

American Girls and Homework.

The great reason why homework is
repugnant to self-respecting Americans
Is not so much on account of the work
itself, for other kinds of labor are hard
and monotonous, but on account of the
conditions under which it is performed.
The single domestic lacks society; she
is isolated from the family life, and she
can never call any time her own. Girls
will work all day amid the steam of a
laundry, the fumes of factory, the
bad air of sewing room because there
they have companionship their hours
are defined and they are their own mis-
tresses when the days work is done. 1t
Is impossible to have these conditions
in domestic service except in very
wealthy families, and there the workers
must be branded as servants. AS there
is every probability that house wages
will go higher rather than lower, and
as the girls will not come to the houses
the houses must go the girls. Frances

A physician who is total abstainer,
