THE n1sEAsE or pRINK1EG.

r.,- THE DISEASE OF DRINKING.
TIE disease of drinking among women Is
fully confirmed by the facts Of heredity. In
families of moderate and excessive drinking
parents, the girls rarely become inebriates,
while the boys as a rule. develop the pa
rents maladies.
Numerous instances like the following
are within the common observation OF
every one: One or both parents may use
wine on the table daily. The father may use
wine to excess, at intervals or continuously,
and the mother be nervous and neurotlc
woman. The boys will drink to excess
sooner or later, and the girls will have de-
fecttve nervous system, and turn to narcot-
les for relief, using opium chlorl or other
drugs. -
The children of these girls will develop in
ebrity and similar diseases from tbs slightest
exposure. Alcoholism may appear in the
female side. but 1t will be exceptionally, and
naturally merge into -drug-taking or other
form, aud apparently start from irregular
tiles OF life and living, but It will always be
found associated with nerve and brain de-
fects.
The direct alcoholic heredity running
through the male line Is changed and d.
verted In the female side. This heredity al
ways leaves the females with defective vi tai
force and unstable brain Hgor, also with
weak power of control. The strain OF the
reproductive period brings on central ex.
haustion, with strong tendency to organic
disease. The female neurotic may use alco-
hol tor the exhilaration which it brings, but
only until she discovers some other drug
with more pleasing effects.
Tho emancipation OF women from the
slavery Of caste and ignorance. and the
stsady inward movement In mental and
physical development will prevent any
general increase OF alcoholism or inebriety.
Psychological drink-wavss may come and
90, and tides OF degeneratlve immigrants
may bring an increase Of inebriety for q
brief rime, but remedial forces will quickly
neutra izs and readjust the race marcl from
the lower to the higher.
Many causes which seemingly are very
active In Europe. increasing the number Of
famale iuebriates writes DR.. T. u. Crothers
in the North American Review, do not exist
here. 1nsbricty over there is condition
more or less fixed. here it is on accident and

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

A fine illustration of the value of keeping
ones word. which boys do well to profit by.
is given in the case of Mr.. Wilder, the first
president of the American Tract Society
He became very wealthy man, but was, in
early life, head clerk for large firm in
Cbarlestown, Mass. He promised custo.
mer one day to deliver bale of goods ut q
certain hour. He had to 60 to Boston to
make the purchase, and engaged the porter
to take the goods over at once in wheel.

heat, and stopped on the bridge to rest. Mr..
Wilder finding him there. promptly trundled
off with the wheelbarrow himself rather than
break his word to the customer. A wealthy

AN ARMY SLAIN BY DRINK.

The number OF deaths from the use OF
strong drink has been variously estimated In
the United States to be from g., 900 to 1OO,-
600 year. DR.. Norman Kerr, an eminent
scientist Of England, has for some fifteen
years been pursuing an inquiry into the
experts, and, according to their deductions,
the latest estimate Of deaths Of adults annu-
ally caused by intemperence is: In Great
Britain, 12O, COO; in France. 142. 600, and IN
the United States 80, 1000, or nearly half q
million in an aggregate of 120, 600, QUO Of peo-
pie. IF yellow fever and cholera, which carry
Off few thousand each year, are so feared
and Stunned. what shall be done with the
drink which slays its half million?
BRANDY AND DIpHrHER1A.
DR.. Alfred Carpenter, commenting upon
the use Of brandy in the treatment Of diph.
thera, says: ....
81 have frequently met with cases Of
diphtheria which have been treated with
brandy, either as soon as exhaustion super
vened, or from the very commencement OF
the disease. Most Of these cases ended ia
tally. wish to suggest that this kind Of
treatment is radically wrong. Some may
have recovered to whom brandy has been
freely administered; but they are few, and
did SO, In my opinion, in spite of the REM
edy rather than in consequence Of it."
Such testimony as this from the author
ity OF 80 eminent q physician and scientist
should suffice to make it quite clear that not
only Is brandy not needed in the treatment
of diphtheria, but that If administered 1t
Is likely to lessen rather than to improve
the chances Of recovery.-TemDerance Ad-

DANGEROUS MEDICINES.
Professor Virchow. the foremost me dical
authority of the German Empire. has re-
peatedly urged moderation in the use Of
drastic drugs, and holds that some medi.
cines, so.called, have, on the whole, done
more mischief than good, and ought to be
dropped from the list Of remedial agents.
1t would be good plan to begin with
alcoholic drugs A single prescription Of
medicated brandy has in many cases led to
the relapse of half-reformed drunkarjs and
rekindled the flames smothered by years Of
heroic self-conrrol. Tonic bit.ers have also
frequently initiated the alcohol habit, and
the history OF all epidemics proves that the
victims Of strong srimulants are especially
liable to the risk Of contagion. In Southern
Asia the plague RACES with special virulence,
among the opium eaters, and In the yellow
fever epidemics Of the West Indies the NOR
tality among dram-drinkers Is about twice
as large as those Of total abstalners. The
Mexican Indians, who detest alcoholic
drinks, are almost fever proof, while the
bibulous Creoles die by Thousands, In spite
Of abundant opportunities for becoming ac-
climatized.

Bible days for the time of the new moon.
Think Of making one Of the watc hes of the

Bible says: Before the cock crow thou
shalt deny me thrice" IF the Master COM

way the midnight watch was indicated.
The Growing Of that barnYard bird has al
ways been most uncertain. The Growing is
at the lowest temperature Of the night, and
the amount Of dew and the direction Of the
wind may bring the lowest temperature at
IL o'clock at night or Q o'clock in the morn
