THE HABIT OF NAlL-BlTiNG.
1t Is a Mark of Degeneration of the Nerv
Gus system.

1t Is a Mark OF Degeneration of he~Nerv-
Gus System.
There has just been issued from the
Paris p-ess brochure which is creating
a large amount of interest in French
medical circles, both on account of its
originality and the experimental re-
suits which it embodies. 1t is from the
pen OF DIR. Edgar Berillon, so well
known in the surgical world by reason
of his prominent connection with the
dead Charcot in the latter's hypnotic
experiments, and at present Secretarie
General de la Societe dHypnologie ct
de Psychologist of Paris and medical in
spector of the state lunatic asylums.
The work is scientific treatise on ony-
cophagie, or fingernail biting, and con-.
tains the results of series Of observa-
tions in the public and private schools
of France, and extending through
period of more than seven years. At
the congress of the French Association
for the Advancement of Sciences, held
at Nancy in 1886, Berillon first an
nounced his Observable on the habit
of nail-biting, and since that time has
been in almost continuous experiment.
In his thoroughly scientific treatment
of what the world has never before con-
sidered worthy of prolonged or special
study Berillon has arrived at results
really remarkable. His experiments
lead him to pronounce the habit far
more widespread and pernicious than
others promptly treated, and force him
to conclude that, if not disease itself,
it is an unfailing mark of incipient de-
generation of the nervous system,
which, unrecognized, may be productive
of the most evil results.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
DESTROYING THE HOME.

The Terrible Evil of Intemperance Graph
ically Told by Cartoon.
It has been said that the hope of a
nation lies in the home. There are NO
more sacred ties on earth than those of
the home. When God gave to man the
woman who should be a companion

She frst home on earth, and gave it
His benediction; and throughout the
Bible the sacred relations of home and

the strongest efforts for its over

structed the sub treasurers to receive
light weight gold coin and to ascer-
tain the exact value of such coin and
pay for it at face value less four cents
for each troy grain if such coins are
found to be below standard weight.
This is believed to he the second
