Ben sSieial Effects Of Sugar.

There are certain medical autlori.
tiles who have for long time been
arguing In favor OF II more general
use Of sugar as IN article OF diet.
They claim that a liberal use OF sugar
increases the power OF resisting
fatigue and enables the individual
to perform much more labor than Ia
possible without II. A report made
to the Royal society OF England
shows the influence OF sugar In this
direction. As an experiment, a labor.
Ing man tasted one day, taking noth-
ing but water. His conditions,
strength, fatigue and labor performed
were carefully noted. On another
day 800 grams Of sugar were added
to the water, and the same account
was taken Of tho mans physical
state. II was found that the sugar
increased the muscular strength
about 10 per cent. and greatly pro.
longed the period before fatigue was
noticeable. In another experiment,
sugar added to the food was OBJ
served to produce surprising in.
crease in muscular energy; 200
grams with meal gave maximum
OF 30 per cent. more strength than
was discoverable In its absence and
25O grams OF sugar to meal greatly
increased the resistance against
WEAKNESS, and enabled the man to
perform, without undue eXertion, IN
average Of IL per cent. more work
than he was able to do without It..
There Is growing opinion among the
best scientific authorities that the
craving Of some persons and almost
oil children for sugar Is not only
reasonable, but In direct accord with
natural law. Pure sugar Is not only
wholesome but necessary, and when
growing children crave 1t should
never be denied them.

that the case was connected with u

The rattlesnake bite, always dis.

fatal to man, death following In less
than 10 per cent OF tho cases. Each

The lecture was followed by on
informal discussion OF feasible anti.

suggested the prudent use OF alcohol

1888 to obtain information about the

Mr. McAllister was famous. The

GREAT Otter rRAppeA
We Wore Q Coae ovseeoat When Out
Auntln0.


A generation ngo the otter was
still plentiful along the streams
in The vicinity of Roulette, Pa.
Probably the greatest otter trap
per that ,ver lived In this region
was tho late Larry Lyman, Of Rou.
'atte. He bagged hundreds of them
m his day. Otter pelss were worth
Fom ~ to $1j apiece during the
lime Lyman trapped for shcm. When
they were ut their grcatSst value lie
saved fifteen Of the fntst skins
from those he had trapped and had
:hom made into an overcOat by a
'amous New York city farrier. lie
refused $l5 apiece for the green

But otter disappeared from the

where Lyman trapped his gaine for

being thus handicapped the otter

CHURCH VS.. SALOON.
An Able Address on this inter
cSting Subject.

Last Sunday afternoon Rev. Geo.
H. Wells discussed the temperance
question at the Presbyterian church,
takingas his subject ''The Church VS..
the Saloon The meeting began by
scripture reading by the pastor, Rev.
Wilson Aull, after which the congre
CATION joined in shining the ':Solid
Rock. Rev. Wells was introduced
by the pastor. He commenced his
address by complimenting the peo-
pie of Worthington on turning out to
the meeting on so cold a day and on
so short notice. He seemed anxious
to speak and delivered his thoughts
freely and we'll; and said he was
glad to speak upon this important
subject, and especially to SO fine and
intelligent an audience as the pres
ent occasion afforded. He said that
the suppression of the saloon was
question of "want to- and that the
church held the keys to the situation,
and in point of number was strong
enough to rise up and wipe out the
evil. He seemed to wish to impress
his hearers with the idea that the
splendid fruitage which all witness
was the fruitage of religion and the
grace of God, yet he spoke in elo
quent language of the work, the la
Dor, and the indefatigably industry
and energy of the w. G. T. u, Good
Templars and kindred societies and
babe them Godspeed in their work.
He advocated more earnest and
organized effort on the part of the
church. He said that at times the
work went on at splendid rate. and
it seems that victory was won and
the saloon would become thing of
the past, and then again things
seem to lag; but the saloon does not
move.
Mr.. Wells thinks that the church
is the proper place to meet and dis
cuss this question. He holds that
the ministers do much in this work,
He urged the. members of the
churches to do all in their spower to
suppress the evil and said that if the
churches did not engage actively in
this work it would lose much of it's
influence for good. The meeting was
successful one and was closed by
singing that appropriate hymn. 'Res-
cue the Perishing."
