a BRAIN DESTROYER.
How Drinkers Sin Against Their Own Rea
son.

son.
That alcoholic beverages are iniuri-
Gus to the brain is a truth which can
not be too often urged. Just as BELLA
donna exerts specific influence upon
the pupil of the eve, so alcohol has a
particular afini ty for the brain When
people talk in homely phrase about liq>
uOr flying TO the h cad, they state an
exact scientific truth. Within very
few minutes after alcoholic drink is
taken into the stomach it literally flies
to the brain. Here it exerts its spe.
clflc, injurious, poisonous, and destruc'
tive agency. 1t affects the very tissues
of that organ, hardening them so
that a skillful surgeon, even with
eyes shut, can distinguish by the sense
of touch, in dissecting a human brain,
whether the man was drinker or not.
Liquor, assailing the brain, unseats the
judgment. disturbs the even balance of
the reasoning powers, ungears the in
tellect, and in due time actually de-
thrones the mind from it's regal post.
This effect of strong drink ought to
make evident, to anyone who will
think on it. one of the phases Of the
sin of drunkenness. The drunkard,
the moderate drinker, and even the
tippler, sin against their own reason,
lay waste their higher and no.
bier powers, and unhinge their
mental faculties, by the use Of liquor.
This is not the only offense they COM
nit, but it is one which ought to make
them pause and think. They assault
themselves in the very seat and source
of intellectual life. They take the
crown from their brow and trarnple it
in the mire. Let it be remem bered
that the man who drinks is not only to
be pitied as the victim of dreadful
appetite; he is to be blamed, arraigned,
condemned, because of the heinous Of
fense he commits against his own
reason. He dethrOnes, uncrOwns, desc
crates his intellect. Christian

within the box rubbers and heavy
boots may be kept, the upright one
holding fine shoes and slippers
After long experience in domestic up
holstery, denim, in it's rich assortment
of colors, is found to be superior to all
other materials. It combines artistic
beauty with astonishing durability,
and is heartily recommended to the
amateur cabinet-maker.
The tops Of the boxes should be Gov
cred first and tufted. This may be ac-
complished by spreading curled hair on
the wood and tacking the material over
1t and at regular distances apart catch
button to form a tuft. This is done
by boring two small holes through the
wood side by side, and having thread
ed the eye of the baton with bit of
-s~ine, pass the string through the
holes and tie the ends tightly together
nt the under side of the lid.
The material is to be tackled all
around to the outer edge Of the tops
with ordinary carpet taclzs driven close
together.
Next upholster the back, placing
some curled hair behind the material
and give it a cushioned appearance and
in turn drape the sides Of the boxes.
To do it nicely, shir several yards of
the material on cord and then tack
the string fast all around the upper
edges Of the boxes.
Around the top edge Of each box and
to hid9 the joint where the covering
meets the d1'aping material, fasten q
piece of wide gimp with large oval
headed upholsterers tacks driven an
even distance apart. This will lend a
good finish TO complete q, charming and
useful piece Of furniture.
The very attractive hanging cabinet
shown here is also made of a couple of
packing cases.
Two shallow oblong boxes are need
ed, apd should be fastened securely to-
gether with screws, the end Of one to
the side Of the other as the drawing
shows. Around the top Of the upright
box a narrow strip of cornice molding,
that can be obtained from a carpenter,
is to be mitred and fashioned with
nails, while the top edge Of the other
one may be left plain by way of con-
trast.
Two shelves should be arranged in
the upright box and one in the other.
The entire inside and outside of the
boxes are painted with several sue
cessive coats of some good color, light
shades being preferable. Or they may

HIS VIEWS OF GIRLS.
A Small Boys First Experience az ths
Dancing School.


Dancing School.
He was a little boy who lived in the
house with his father and mother, with.
out any brothers or sisters. Like o
good many other little boys, he thought
girls were not good for much because
they could not play baseball, did not
like to fish, and cried when they fell
down. This winter he was greatly an.
noyed because he had to go to dancing
school. He did not like dancing; was
sure he never would; did not see any
use in dancing. But to dancing schoo,
he must go; that was the decree.
He went to dancing school, and wher
he came home he said:
"Our teacher doesn't think very
much of girls, anyway" as though that
gave him a higher respect for the
teacher.
"Why do you think that?" asked hi
mother.
Because she never let the girls once
ask the boys to dance; they just had tc
sit still and wait until the boys asked
them, and some little girls didn't dance
at all, cause they weren't asked;" and
just little look Of sorrow for the little
girls who did not have-a good time
came into his face.
1 heard the other day of little
knight who watched for the little girls
who were not asked to dance by the
other boys and always danced with
those little pirls.-Outlook.

DR.. WOOD, in a recent lecture, re.
marked: ''When 1 was a student in the
hospitals we used to have cases Of
shock in abundance, and we would pour
alcohol into them and wonder we got
no more effect 1t seemed like pouring
alcohol into rat-hole. Alcohol is prob.
ably of no value whatever in shock; in
deed, 1 am perfectly sure that a large
dose of alcohol in shock puts one nail
in the coffin of the patient, and if you
want your patients to come out Of
shock you will be very careful in Civ
ing them alcohol. Alcohol stimulates
the heart, but it paralyzes rather thai

The Joke Was on the CAPTAIN.

The following story is told Of an
English military officer in the Chinese
army Being visited by some friends,
the captain, to show the high state of
discipline of his command, sounded a
night alarm. The troops turned out
with commendable alacrity and fell
into their places, ready for emergen-
cies, but when they discovered the
cause of this sudden interruption to
their dreams they laughed heartily,
thinking it good joke. The worthy
captain was elated at his success, and
determined to repeat the experiment
Soon after he invited another party Of
friends to witness the performance,
and the alarm was sounded at dead Of
night, but not a soldier appeared, while
roars of laughter from the tents showed
that the joke was on the mems side this
time.

to be done is to cover this top with

to fasten some of the same material

Sensational Turn Given Affairs at
Pullman by the Action OF
state Troops.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Thc sensation of
today at Pullman was the refusal OF
Company Nj, of the First infantry. to
eat at the same table with non-uniOn
w0rkmen. At $50 O'Clock Lieut.. Bowra
marched Company NJ up 10 the big mess
tent that stands on the lawn behind the
Hotel Florence. There the company
was left III command of Sergeant Cook.
When the company came to break ranks
at the tent entrance they were indig-
nant to see two tables within filled With
nOu-unlon workmen of the Pullman
company. The workmen were part of
the new force hired today. They had
been smuggled in with the soldier boys
on the apology that they were afraid to
20 home for dinner. As the practice
had been tried OH in smaller way last
week 10 the distaste OF the company, the
soldiers were prepared for decisive
action. William Byrnes. member of
the company, stepped into the entrance
and said:
''As volunteer soldiers the men of
Company Nj are to See that the laws of
Illinois are obeyed. / am not aware
that it is soldierly, or that discipline
cOmDels US to do what we feel is I'M
patriotic and not worthy of gentlemen.

associate with scabs. | refuse to sit
With them at the same table,"
There was an outburst of applause
from Byrnes' comrades, and Sergeant
Cook marched the company across the
street and broke ranks.
1--WE will not enter the tent" dozen
privates said. until we are assured
that all uon-union workmen are to be
kept out.'
The workmen were finally marched
out and the company marched in. re-
ceiving the assurance that they will
hereafter have their mess tent to them
selves.
