Alcohol and Spirits of Wine.

The term spirit of wine, or ardent spirit,
was not in use in the thirteenth century,
for the word spirit was at that time re-
served for volatile agents like mercury,
sulphur, the sulphurets of arsenic and
sal ammoniac, which were capable Of
acting on metals and modifying their
color and properties. The term eau dc
vie was given in the thirteenth and four
tenth centuries to the elixir of long life.
1t was Arnaud de Villeneuve who en-
ployed it for the first time to designate
the product of the distillation Of wine.
But he used it not as specific name,
but in order to mark the assimilation
which he made of it with the product
drawn from wine. The elixir Of long
life of the ancient alchemists had moth
ing in common with our alcohol. Con-
fusion of the two has led the historians
of science into more than one error.-P.
f. NJ. Berthelot in Popular Science
Monthly.

That is the most peculiar and as
founding faculty of the mind that calls
the new, the beautiful" said Charles
Truax. "Now, just think a minute.
Look at the change i'll fashions and then
you see it perfectly. The hat that you
wore last season-the one with the stiff
rim and soft crown-how nice and nobby
it looked then, Now, when You tried it
on again the other day, accidentally run
ming across it in the locker. why, it
looked hideous, didn't it? It's impossi-
BILE to define why this is SO. You can't
say it is because the mind dislikes old
things (some minds don't nor that all
minds love the new, the change. ltisn't
exactly because persons dislike to be odd
or out of date. for some take great de-
light in looking strange and odd.
"Others do not wear the new things
first simply to he the first. While do
not think this sense comes from or guides
itself by any one of these influences, yet
the sum of them all goes to make up
circle of harmony inside of which one
would rather dwell than out. There are
a thousand little things that the mind
comprehends almost unconscionsly and
acts accordingly. 1t is this reflex action
Of brain work that makes it possible for
one to understand why we do these

1t is a common belief that education
wears out the body and invigorates the
mind. Also that nervous diseases are
more common among civilized nations
than among the savages, because the
latter without education are able to at
tain and maintain physical perfection.
1t is claimed by myself, as well as other
investigators, that the educated man, the
man who studies most, while not physic-
ally strong, is yet not weak and is much
more able to withstand a given period
of nervous tension than is the man with
the excellent physique and the moder-
ate comprehension. In fact the intel
ligent mind may be physically sick all
through life and yet live on i'll this mis-
cry to good old age, while the strong
physique breaks down early, and having
no mental or nervous acu1nen dies very
quickly and only at moderate age. :.
Among the lowest African tribes, cur
rently supposed to be almost devoid of
nerves, nervous diseases are very com
wrecks and only live little time. 1t rs
safe to say that with the advent of civ
ilization these tribes would regain phys
ical strength. My best study has been
given to the prominent educators Of the
world, most Of whom | find physically
weak, but living on and doing work daily
that would kill the ordinary laborer in
less than three years. Interview in St

The Extinct Northern "Sea Cow"

In the year 1854 the Behring explor-
ers discovered gigantic species of ry-
time, or northern sea cow" These
enormous nanatees were similar in gen
eral habits to those of the South Ameri-
can coast and were from 20 to 80 feet in
length and from 10 to 20 feet in girth.
They were very stupid, harmless beasts,
and lived by browsing on seaweeds and
other marine growths near the land The
sailors were not slow in finding out that
a sea COW steak beat seal meat "all hol-
low" From l154 until 1868 they were
the principle food of the sailors and ex-
plorers on our western coast. This be-
ing the case, it is not at all surprising
that the northern sea COW, never very
numerous species, should become ex-
tinct in the short space of IA years. The
last Of the giant manatees was killed in
September, 1868, n few months less than
IA years after the discovery of the first
one.-St. Louis Republic.

Mr.. Gimp Takes Exercise.

My old friend, Lucius Gimp" said
Mr.. Gratebar, was all run down, and
the doctor said he must get about more
and go to the theater and divert his
mind from business and take lots of
exercise. The getting about was some
thing that he could manage easily
enough but taking exercise was quite
another matter, for while Mr.. Gimp is a
man of intense application and ire
mendous worker at his business he ap-
pears to be quite averse to any sort of
physical exertion. But he had an idea.
Mr. Gimp is an extremely sensitive man,
and it seemed to him that perhaps he
might take the exercise by a sort of
mental absorption. So he hired an ath-
lete to come to the house, and every
morning for an hour this athlete swung
Indian clubs and took other vigorous
exercises while Mr.. Gimp looked on.
Strange as it may seem to some, this
MANNER of taking exercise proved quite
tEectual. In less than "a month MIR.
-iimp was cutie restored to health"

Based Upon Bedrock Fact.

Alcoholism is one of the monsters among
the evils that curse society. It's faint
Is upon all classes. In the saloon, upon
the street and in many a Borrowing home,
it wears an open, shameless face. But
in many a mansion of wealth and around
many an humble fireside it hides its
masked face; 1t hangs its horrid skeleton
in millions of seemingly happy homes.
The marts of trade, the great avenues Of
travel. the temples of justice and the
houses built for the worship of God are
full OF ii. One word comprehends the re-
sult-Ruini In arresting this the church
claims its prerogative, but its failure to
accomplish what il desires Is written on
every page OF history. The law deems 1t
q social evil, and issues its numberless and
impotent mandates against it Education
stretches forth its puissant hand only to
find its power paralyzed. In contrast to
these stands Keeleyism. II is based upon
.his bedrock fact: Alcoholism is disease.
By the medical profession alcoholism has
for centuries been recognized as disease
But what has II done toward the cure of
that disease? Medicine. TIL the discovery
of the Kelley Gold Cure, had known no
remedy. The Double Chloride of Gold
Cure is the first efficient means that has
ever been discovered. and &C., 600 happy
homes today give evidence OF its efficacy.
There are nov two genuine Kelley lnsti-
tutes in this state where this method of
treatment is in use. one at 60I Columbia
street, Seattle, and 1901 Second street,
Spokane. All other so-called gold cures
are imita.ors.
