DRINKERS CHILDREN.
Appalling Consequences OF Habituai In
temperance.

The hereditary consequences of
strong drink are sometimes appalling.
A specialist in children's diseases, who
has for twelve years been carefully
noting the difference between twelve
families of drinkers and twelve families
of temperate ones, reports that he
found the twelve drinking families
produced in those years fifty-seven
children and the temperates sixty-one.
of the drinkers twenty-five children
died in the first week of life, as against
six on the other side. Among the
children of the drinkers were five who
were idiots, five so stunted in
growth as to be really dwarfs,
five when older became epi-
leptics; one, a boy, had grave chorea,
ending in idocy; five more were dis
eased and deformed and two OF the
epileptics became by inheritance drink
ers Ten only of the fifty-seven were
normal in body and mind. On the part
of the temperates, two only showed in
herited nervous affects; five died in the
first week of weakness, while four in
later years of childhood had curable
nervous diseases, and fifty were in
every way sound in body and mind
There could scarcely be more con-
elusive demonstration in favor of alb
stinence from intoxicants on the part
of those who assume the responsibility
of parentage. ge.-National Temperance

BOY-GiRLs.
One of the Strange Phases of Life In Old
Mexico.

Ono of the Strange Phases of Life In Old
Mexico.
The recent discovery that it was a
sixteen-year old boy, Henry Graeme,
that had been personating girl. Eta.
the servant in Brooklyn house, finds
its counterpart occasionally among the
Mexican households in the Spanish
American regions of the United States
Cases in these regions ave not infre-
quent of persons, male by sex, who all
their lives have chosen to wear
women's clothes and to labor at those
household avocations reckoned as dis
tinctively as woman's. Such case is
thus described by a visitor to New
Mexico: stopping to dine at little
plazita about twenty miles south of
Santa Fe, my driver, an old-timer,
called my attention to what seemed
strapping woman working among the
female servants of the wealthy old
Mexican don's household across the
way. This slab-sided, rather ungainly
person, with coarse features and
chin that suggested the razor, was at
tired in calico gown, wore gold ear
rings and had the hair braided behind.
It's a man, such as it isl said the
driver. All he has to say about his
wearing of woman's togs is that when
a boy his mother always dressed him
in girls clothes and he never learned
to dress differently. As he grew up
he set to work about the house with
the women. where he is now, treated
with about the same sort of forbear-
ance and contempt that squaw man
receives among the Indians As / put
it up, it was to get rid of being set to
the hard, dangerous work of herding
cattle and sheep when the Indians
were bad in the territory, that coward
ly boys, growing up to be poems,
virtually slaves, to the wealthy Mexl-
cans, chose to be squaws and work
with the women. You'll find such
cases now here and there in the Mex
lean towns and among the Indian
pueblos. IN. Y. sun.

matte Affections: but IL is only within
the last twenty years that they have
been frcquented by English people to
any great extent. The recent repeated
visits OF Queen Victoria to this little
town, however, and the benefit which
she and her companion. the Princess
Beatrice. have derived from the per.
scribed course of treatment. have now
made its name familiar TO all readers.
One of the characteristic features In
connection with the baths at Aix-les.
Bains is the manner in which the
patients are conducted to and from the
Establishment
The newly arrived visitor has written
down his or her name In the Office OF
admission, and has received in return
ticket, on which the hour for the
daily bath is written down. We will
suppose the patient to be an elderly
matron as full of the insular prejudices
as Of the rheumatic pains which have
been the cause of her visit to AK. She
is informed that she Is to stay quietly
in bed the next morning, and that she
will be attended to in due course.
She wonders vaguely what is about
to happen and iinagines many
things; but never, for one
moment, anything approaching that
which really does take place. A
knock comes to the bedroom door, the
handle is turned and two sturdy port
ers enter the room, approach the bed.
and while the matron is still gasping
with horror and astonishment. law
forcible hands upon her. envelop her
in blankets and carry her out into the
passage, where they place her in tho
chaise-a-porteurs. sort of sedan chair.
covered over like Venetian gondola.
and hung around with curtains. which
effectually conceal the figure of its oc-
cupant.
What the good lady suffers as she is
borne down the staircase of the hotel
and through the streets of the little
town can be better imagined than de-
scribed; but her best wisdom is to rec-
oncile herself to the process as soon as
possible, for it Is bound to be repeated
every time that she goes to and from
the establishment.
The progress of the chaises-a-porteurs
through the streets is great source OF
fun to that lucky portion of the visit
ors whose object is amusement rather
than cure. Despite the enveloping cur
tains the identity Of the patient is often
betrayed by the additional wrappings
which are carried by the maid or
secheuse, and it is common occur
renee to see party of young fellows

making merry at the expense of its oc-

1t Is worth recalling that America
has three times had the honor OF revo-
lutionizing the art of war. To Ameri-
can armies was due the introduction
of the scout or open order system OF
firing, with all the concomitants OF
skirmishes. rifle pits, etc Foreign ma
tions were slow to adopt it, but it came
at last, and is now universal. AIneri-
ca, too, was the first to introduce the
extensive use Of the rifle and the sights
of naval guns. To-day the rife is the
universal arm of the infantry and a
cannon without sights or means for ac-
curate laying is as useless as one with
out powder. The third revolution was
the introduction of the monitor, and
here the honor belongs to the individ-
ual rather than to the nation. Despite
all that may have been said to the
contrary, Capt. Ericsson's traditional
cheese box on raft" was an entirely
unique construction; the idea had never
been previously carried into practice
and certainly had never been put into
successful form. The work of the
monitor produced revolution in naval
ideas. of which the full extent has thus
far been only inadequately Realized. -

For The Peoples Party.

EDITOR STAR:-We miners as craft
know what we have had to contend
with, and what we have endured since
last April. Now we are also acquaint-
ed with what has been done through
the efforts OF organization to remedy
these sufferings Of the miners and
others in general. Our leaders of Or
ganization have told us to set party affil-
iations to aside and look well to our
ballot, and be careful whom we would
cast it for in the future, at the same
time advancing the necessity Of the
need OF an Independent political pro-
gram. We are also well acquainted
with what happened short time ago
in Columbus, o., when the advocates of
the Peoples party came together and
Joined hands and hearts to do some-
thing towards remedy for this depres-
sion that is now existing, and to assist
In bringing out purer mode OF politics.
Our leaders OF organization have
taken a strong hand in all this, and now
in the face of all this, comes compli-
ment paid to nominee of an old party!
But the miners in general have heed
ed the former teachings of their leaders
and their official organs and have
established Peoples party clubs all
over the state, and don't propose to do
anything else than to vote according to
their own convictions, and therefore
need no advice on this point.
The Peoples party is determined to
make mark this fall, for our leaders
have taught us to throw away party
ism and affiliations and cast our lot for
new party, or the Peoples party.
The miners do not have any hopes of
any relief coming from any old party,
but that ii must come from electing
men from our own ranks, aud that is
only in accordance with the teachings
of our labor organs to-day.
1t is also said that National Secretary
McBryde don't meddle much with poll
tics, only when the interests of the
miners are involved. That is also con-
trary to what we are being taught
through the labor press.
But there is one grand thing. We
don't think as McBryde does, and there.
fore are not in need of advice at this
time. We have been told il we did not
vote for protection we would suffer, and
alsoif we did not vote for tariff reform
we would suffer. Now, there are thous.
ands of miners to-day who are doing
their own reading and thinking, and
they are also taking the advice of oul
labor leaders, and have left the ranks
of both the old parties and have joined
the working mans party, and are de
termined to have representation from
their own ranks, which is our right u
have.
So, fellow miners, it rests with yol
and all other branches OF labor through
out this state to choose whom they viii
have to preside as an executive heat
and sit in the legislature of our Key
stone state; but we, as miners, earnestl,
hope that, whoever are honored will
those positions, right and justice viii
be meted out to all men alike, both ricl
and poor the same.
From one that il interested in
miners welfare, yours respectfully,
JOHN ROBINSON.
