The Birth of Lake Tahoe.

In geographical times, not long
ago, as speaks the scientist, but very
long ago, ms speaks the chronicler of
human follies, there was deep valley
on the eastern slope of the Sierra
Nevadas at the headwaters of the
Truckee River. About this valley
lowered granite mountains. But
earthquakes came, rents were opened
in the rocks, and from the tissures
poured monstrous streams of lava.
One of these assures crossed the lower
end of the valley, and through it
poured foods of molten rocks. Stream
after stream issued, to cool in solid
sheets and blocks, until a wall was
built across the valley 1000 or 5000
feet in height, and above it was a deep
basin 500 or coo square miles in area.
The storms that fell on the granite and
volcanic mountains rolled in rivers to
fill the basin and Lake Tahoe was
created, Chicago Herald

DR.. Carpenter, writing on "Alcohol,r
makes the following remarks al take this
position, that the Creator, IN constructing
the human body, made II perfect, II man will
only give 1t fair play that every function In
the human body is contrived and arranged
by wise Creator so as to act and that n a
man will only act in accordance with the
purpose OF the human body, that body shall
be preserved in health and vigor to old age.
See, then, what alcohol does. Alcohol Is
foreign to the body. 1t is something which
mas no relation to the ordinary food OF man,
and which the body tries TO get rid OF as soon
as It can, but il cannot be got rid OF fast
enough.M "

THE VERDICT OF SCIENCE.

The following is another test by which the
effects of alcohol on the digestion OF food
may be proved. To each OF two mastiffs, six
months old, five ounces OF cold roast NUT
ton, cut into squares, were given, the meat
being passed into the throat without contact
with the teeth. An elastic catcher was then
passed into the stomach of one of them. and
an ounce and quarter of proof spirit in
jected. After some hours were elapsed both
animals were killed. In the case where the
meat only had been given, it had altogether
disappeared. In the case where the meat
and the alcohol had both been given, the
pieces of meat were found still existing in
the stomach as angular and perfect as when
they were swallowed.
DIR. Richardson tells us that alcohol,
when taken into the system, does not aid IN
digestion. On the contrary as found by
experiment digestion is impeded by It. One
OF the most important portions otthe diges-
tive process, the action of the pepsine upon
the food, is destroyed by the action of the
spirit"
Drs. Todd and Bowman assure us that
"aicohol retards digestion by coagulnting
the pepsine, and thus interfering with its
action" We have the following clear and
emphatic declaration, made by six hundred
OF the most eminent physicians OF Holland,
which speaks for itself;
"The moderate use u strong drinks is al.
ways unhealthy. even when the body is In a
healthy condition. II does not do any good
to the digestion, but even interfefes with that
process for strong drinks can only Temporal
rily increase the feeling of hunger but not
in favor of digestion, after which strong re-
action must follow, and evils which are
usually attributed 10 other causes, but often
result from the habitual use, with moderate
drinkers"
Notwithstanding, however, the strength of
this testimony there are still some who even
20 to the length of holding that alcohol is an
absolute necessity OF life. Now, II has been
positively proved that alcohol is not essen
tial TO either life or health. The periodic
need for regular food ceases each time after
being supplied but in the case of alcohol,
the craving is never experienced until the
taste for II is cultivated. 1t IL only when
this taste is cultivated, and the passion takes
hold on a man. that il becomes at length the

GRAND WORDS OF Truth.

1t is easy for people to talk about them
selves, and state what they may have done,
but it is far better to have other people speak
for you. The words which follow are the
frank expressions OF people who know OF
what they speak:
Rev. VIM. ". Whitney, of Linlithgo. N. Y.
says: II have been afflicted more or less for
six years past with malaria, ague, have had
pneumonia three times, and have been
troubled with bronchial and catarrhal trouble
of the throat. Two years ago had the grip
which ran into catarrhal pneumonia. l was
very sick for twelve weeks, and the doctors
thought l would die. While In this condl,
ton, began taking something of which l
had heard much. but knew little, and am re-
joiced to say that | have been practically
cured by the use of Duffys pure malt whis-
key
Mr.. John Kelley Chase, Amesbury, Mass,
says: For some six years past my wife has
been suffering from nervous DroStratlon. For
years she was troubled with insomnia. and
nothing recommended by the most eminent
physicians would induce sleep. Under the
advice of physicians, she recently tried Duff
fy's malt Whiskey in small quantities and
with the most satisfactory results. While
Mrs. Chase has always been Staunch In her
temperance principles and consistent in
practice, she has no hesitation in recon-
| mending to invalids who need gentle slim
| ulant. Dufy's pure malt Whiskey."
H. II. Babeock, the celebrated wagon man
| ufacturer of Watertown, N. Y, says: My
| self and wife are using DuffY's pure malt
| whiskey, and it is dong us good. We Ole
| brated in November last our fiftieth ami
! yersary and we are now looking forward to
| the seventy-ffth. and believe that good
tonic may help Us along"
E. G. Avila, OF the Brooklyn association
| for improving the condition of the poor,
| SAYS: II have used Duffys malt whiskey for
! the past two years. having suffered from

A MEDIEVAL MURDER.
The Prime Minister of a Native In
dian State Slain.

The Prime Minister OF a Native In
dian State Slain.
London Daily News
The story of the murder of the prime
minister of the native state Of UlWar, In
Northwestern India, reads more like a
tale from the criminal annals of some
medieval Italian principally than a
record of the present day. The minister
was murdered while out riding by a
gang of assasSins. The inquiry ordered
by the Indian government has resulted
not only in the conviction Of one OF the
principal military officers of the Ulwar
state, but in a declaration by the court
that the murder was executed by order
OF the late maharajah of UlWar.
1t appears that this parsonage, desir-
Ing for sundry reasons to have the min
lister removed" contided the task to
the officer commanding the imperial
service troops-that is, the force which
the Ulwar state undertakes to send into
the fields should the Indian government
call for its services. This worthy got
together a gang of men, including some
OF his own soldiers, Waylald the mill
lister. and, while some of the party
patrOlled the road, others, as one or
them who turned queens evidence eX-
pressed it. FUSED their swords"
They pleaded in defense that they
were obliged to carry out the orders OF
the maharajah in committing the act.
The court held that such orders had
been given, but decided that they con-
stituted no defense, and sentenced two
of the party to death and others to vari-
Gus terms of penal servtude. Adj
equately to appreciate this affair 1T
should be remembered that Ulwar is no
wild hill state Oh the outer confines OF
India, but an ancient principally in the
heart of the country, within short dis
lance of Delhi. The late maharajah
had received an English education, and
Ulwar is in many respects accounted an
eXcellently administered state.

SPRING POETRY.

The poets all sing
OF the beautiful spring,
OF the budding trees, and such;
Do they ever gush
or the mud and sluSh
That abound at that season. Notmuch
Ii is their delight
TO sing day and night
OF the gentle zephyrs that biowi
Not q line can you find
Bout the bowling wind
That chills ones marrow SO.
OF the gentle showers
And opening flowers
They MARBLE in ecstatic tones;
Not word of the sleet
That ices the street
And causes our broken bones.
Now why don't they sing
of the kind of spring
That a fellow can recognize
We've had quite enough
OF their beautiful CUFF,
With the mud half up to our eyes.
