ALCOHOLISM AND BEER.

At the eleventh International Medical
Congress, held in Rome, Italy, March 29th
to April 5th, 1894, inclusive. DR.. s. Laache.
OF Christiania, Norway, gave an address up.
on 'Idiopathic Hyperrophy (enlargement)
Of the Heart. in which he said;
alcoholism is factor of considerable
importance, especially that form seen IN
beerdrinkers, which is. according to the In
teresting researches OF Bollinger, prepon-
dering cause of so-called idiopathic hyper
trophy. The plethora provoked by the I'M
moderate ingestion OF beer. and the increase
Of blood pressure resulting therefrom, furn-
ishes an explanation ofthe increasing part,
disputing the first place even with tubercu-
losis. which cardiac affections play in the
mortality statistics OF Munich. The over.
heart constitutes certainly the sad reverse OF
the medal. refer to so Justly celebrated
Bavarian beer. But at the same time II
furnishes new and interesting aspect OF the
multiple manifestations OF chronic alcohol
ISM"
There is steadily cumulative testimony. by
many scientific experts, that beer, which
the brewers boast OF as a wholesome ITEM
perunce" beverage, is in reality more pro-
life in physical injury than the stronger
liquors. Temperance Advocate.

CHAPTER VIII.


Livingston could not compose himself
TO read.
When he flung down the end of his
first cigar he was, if anything, more
restless than when he entered his lodg-
ings.
The strange interview with the prima
donna produced a stimulating effect
upon him. He could neither think nor
read, and as for the rest he craved-
there was more rest, he believed, in ac-
tive exertions in behalf of poor Beau
champe. He was glad that he had
permitted Vittoria to do all the talking.
Evidently she did not dream matters
were so serious. Somehow, she had
assumed that the artists name had been
used with as little ground or reason as
her own when the murder was dis
cussed
One thing he could and would do at
once.
He pulled half dozen sheets Of paper
toward him, wrote rapidly on them, in
closed the slips in as many envelopes,
placed them in his pocket, rose, put on
bis hat, and left the house. He walked
two squares, turned into an Office occu-
pied by an acquaintance, and rung for a
messenger When the boy answered,
Livingston placed the envelopes in his
hand, gave the boy double fees, and dis
patched him swiftly on his errand.
The notes were addressed to the man
aging editors OF the leading papers.
Livingston knew precisely what they
would accomplish. His faith in Beau
ehampe was so strong, his sympathy for
Miss Beauchampe so deep, that he hat
taken extraordinary risks.
Briefly stated, he had staked his repu
tation upon the result, claiming in th'
notes written that justice to the arts
demanded instant reparation for tn
injury already done him, at the sam
time intimating that the friends Of tn
American prima donna in all PROBABILITY
would find better and speedier way t
correct. instantly: sHy silly misappre
hension concerning her than By 1aunsh
ing cards in the newspapers.
Having staked his all on the result
Livingston resolved to seek Simmon
again, and, either with or without hi
assistance, solve so much of the mys
terious- murder asTould enable him t.

WITHOUT RINGS.

Those who use rings and poles for
their window curtains sometimes tire
of seeing e thin curtain suspended in
this way, and wish they could dispense
with rings, but do not care to incur
extra expense for brass rods and fix
lures. They may do SO and yet retain
the pole.
Turn over the upper edge of the
curtain as much as will leave the de-
sired length, and then with needle and
thread run across it twice, in the sane
way that you would treat muslin
curtain which is to be gathered on q
cord. In this case it is to be the pole
instead OF a cord, so the space must be
wide.
A lace, muslin or scrim curtain
gathered on pole in this way, with q
fulness left above, dresses the top OF
the window more prettily than when
rings are used, especially when there
is no cornice.

Where the Different Minds Come From.

Richmond, Va, is the largest horse
market in the South. Last year there
were 10, 900 horses and mules sold in
that city. This stock was Of oil kinds
and grades. The work horses were
largely from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Missouri and Ohio, and were sold to
North and South Carolina. The sad
die and light harDess horses came from
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee and
were taken by Northern buyers. .-Ney

VERY JAUNTY HATS,

The English walking hatis the only
really new thing of the season this
year in headwear which is widely pop
ular. Though very generally worn,
the strictly correct ones are sufficient
ly different from the cheaper imita-
tions to insure the continued popular
ity of the fashion with the best dressed
folks. There is a fancy for a hat Of
the English walking type, with sugar
loaf crown entirely covered with
shaped velvet; that is, band of vel
vet fitted to the crown of the hat and
covering it entirely. A very stunning
hat of this kind is Of light straw, the
brim wide and curving up at the sides,
the crown tall, sugar loaf shaped, and
covered with amber velvet. Two

NECK sCARFS.

Large neck scarfs for summer wear
are made of plain silk chambray net
in white, black and cream shades, and
in delicate tints and deep tones of yell
low, blue and cardinal, pink, green,
etc. Chiffon, gauze, silk muslin, etc, 3,
plain or accordion plated, ares also
called into service for these dainty
bits OF neck wear. The trimming takes
the form of edgings in black, white,
cream, beurre or beige lace. The
chambray net comes in double width,
at forty-ive cents yard.

DRINK AND CRIME.

Word and Work says "There is one small
village in the south OF Ireland, with 1900 in
habitants, in which there are actually fifty
two licensed public houses for the sale OF
strong drink. 1t requires thirty-two police
to keep the inhabitants Of that village in or
der"
The last census shows that the only States
where crime Is not increasing faster in pro-
portion than the population. are prohibition
States.
New York State has three thousand six
hundred and seventy-ave inmates Of its
juvenile reformatories, Kansas only two
hundred and eight; New York has eight
thousand one hundred and ninety convicts
in its penitenriaries, Kansas only nine hun
dred and eighteen.
The Grand Jury OF Cometa County,
Georgia. sometime since, made the following
report "We note with sorrow the marked
increase of crime ia this county, and that
the same is traceable almost invariably 10 the
influence OF whisky"

waistcoat, but the coat is fine. 1t has
the hip-pocket laps, with ''frogs' in

lace ruffles. The lace neckwear is

Mr.. James M. Alexander, Vice-PresideHt

There was one thing more Livingston
