TWENTY FAMILIES.

A scientific man named Demme studied
ten families OF drinkers and ten families Of
temperate persons. Tho direct posterity of
the ten families OF drinkers included fifty
seven children. OF these twenty-five died in
the first weeks and months OF their lite, six
were idiots, in five children a striking back
wardness In growth was observed, i've were
affected with epilepsy, five with Unborn dis
eases. Ono boy was taken with chorea and
became idiotic. Thus out OF llfty-seven chill
dren OF drinkers, only 10, or l7.5i per cent
showed normal constitution and develop
ment
The ten sober families had sixty-one chii'
dren, five only dying In their first weeks ;
four were affected with durable diseases OF
the nervous system two only presented In
born defects. The remaining 90. or Sl.S
per cent, were normal In their constitution
and development. From this series OF in-
vestigatlons we derive the sad truth that
among the children OF drinkers the prevail
ing mortality is fearful, that the survivors
represent ptiiul crowd afflicted with un-
soundness OF mind, idiocy, epilepsy and
other disturbances OF their nervous system,
and that only a very small proportion OF
their descendants grow up as useful mem
bers OF society. Herald OF Health.

the pilot gave very sharp ring TO tho bell
for the boat to slow up. The engineer nj.

up with some alarm on deck to see whnt was

and there were no obstacles In the way. He
went to the pilot and said "why did you
ring the bell In that wayp Why do you want
TO stop? There's nothing the matter" And
the pilot said to him, "There is a mist gath

there is night gathering darker and darker,
