MARRIAGE WITH INEBRIATEs-T the
specialist who makes study of inc
briefly, nothing can be more unpleas-
ant than to advise in relation to mar
riage with these drink victims. APP
peals are constantly coming to me
from ladies who are engaged to drink
ing men, and from mothers and faith
ers of such daughters, asking advice
giving histories of talented and bril-
liant ineqriates, who have every quail
ification to make a home except this
tendency to use spirits to excess. Not
unfrequently clergyman and physi-
clans urge such marriages. and my
opinions are condemned as unreason-
able, but most unfortunately for the
parties the result of the experiment is
sad confirmation of what should
have been realized at first. l do not
hesitate to advise most emphatically
against all marriages with inebriates,
or even moderate or occasional uses
of spirits. The reasons are as follows:
A moderate and an occasional ex-
cessive use of spirits is like person
who has hacking cough, or slight
hemorrage. He may recover and nev-
er have consumption, yet there can
be no doubt that he has strong ten
dency. There is every reason to be-
leve that sometime in the future he
will die of this disease. In the same
way the moderate uses of spirits may
never be any worse, but there is
strong tendency and stronger proba
bility that in certain conditions and
certain surroundings THAT can not be
foreseen), he will become an inebriate.
All experience proves that the per-
sons who use spirits in so-called mod
GRAFTON, and do not become inebriates
are SO from accidental circumstances
and conditions beyond any will power
to shape or determine. The reason is
beyond their control as knowledge
and they are the few exceptions that
only prove the rule. And no human
foresight can determine what the flu
ture will be. It is certain that no
sentiment of love or duty can be de-
pended upon as a remedy. Persons
who have been or are periodical drink
ers, and who promise to reform or
stop drinking"at marriage such per
sons are always defective. The high
est faculties of the brain are dulled
and more ore less palsied. Alcohol.
of all drugs, attacks the highest and
last formed powers of the brain, break
ing down and dissolving from the
very pinnacle of life. This failure of
the higher brain powers is apparent
when the man is under the influence
OF spirits and covered up when sober,
yet the brute qualities are all there.
To marry an occasional intoxicated
man, and expect to cure him by this
means is as irrational as to hope that
a diseased lung or broken bone to be
healed by this method. Ny advice is
always, never marry an inebriate or
moderate drinker. The sin of mar
rying an inebriate and having de-
scendants tainted and switched off on
the side track Of ruin and dissolution,
is crime that can never be atoned
for. Journal Of Inebriety.

A DERELiCT COW.
Three Steamers Which Have Come
Across Her Have Been Unfortunate.
New York Tribune.


= II 1t had not been for the cow this veraclous
tale would never have been written. AT least,
that Is the opinion OF The sailors on the Cunard
steamer Etruria, which arrived here yesterday
from Liverpool. They say that the cow was
. head and front of all the trouble, and who will
dispute the sailors code of superstitions? Has
not history borne out the traditions of sailors
on the subject OF Friday? Then why should
"land-lubbers" assume to cast discredit upon
;, tho following tale OF the sea?
IL all happened near latitude 48:10 north and
Longitude Al west. The Etruria on December
:6 passed the carcass of a cow. When the old
= salts on the EIIuria got their weather eyes on
The deceased" they lifted up their voices aud
walled, for they knew that sorrow was close at
band And true enough, they had hardly
stopped walling when. as IL to implicitly obey
the traditions Of The briny deep, the eccentric
PIN snapped aud The engines OF the big ship
stopped working.
The ''hoodoo'' of that unfortunate cow pre-
vailed for ten hours and a half-accOrdlng to
SHIPS log-and then the steamer went on and
LETT the bovine boodoo in her wake. The ma
cnlneTy was entirely overhauled.
On TIE morning OF December 9, shortly after
:. passing the COW, the Etruria sighted the Ger
man tank steamer Burgermeister Petersen,
bound west, in ballast The evil influence OF
I: the COW was still rampant, for the tank steamer
" was crippled by the loss OF her rudder and rud-
oer-post. When last seen The saiorsl on The
bureermelster Petersen were rigging up a jury
rudoer. Ii she gets out OF the deadly circle her
omcers may nave thrilling story of the sea to
IeH 10 the marine reporters when the vessel ar
rives in port.
The steamer New York, which arrived here
yesterday, hit the COW on her way here and
now 1er engineer wishes she had not. The
breakdown of the Etruria occurred almost in
the same longitude and latitude, and within
two and quarter hours of the similar acct
dent TO the port engine OF the New York, and
