ALCOHOL As MEDICINE.

Decided change OF opinion has taken place
OF late years regarding the medicinal prou-
critics OF alcohol. Says Doctor James Il.
Nichols on this subject
'As regards the medicinal value Of any OF
the spirituous liquors which are known In
commerce, very much may be said. II all
the brandies, whiskys, wines and malt
liquors which now exist We're suddenly de-
stroyed, ana there could be no further pro.
duction, no class but dipsomaniacs would

''In all cases Of disease where an alcoholic
seems to be indicated, science presents non.
alcoholics that may serve an equally useful
purpose. The alcohol question as related 10

In no instances of disease OF any form is Il u
medicine which might not be dispensed with

and the most difficult. "My lord" said
a working man one day to nm English
bishop. "can you tell n plain man like me

"Certainly," replied the bishop, "turn TO
the right and go straight ahead" The
reply was as full of spiritual philosophy as
Of wit. SO simple IS the work which we
have 10 do, vet neither the tuning TO the
right nor the holding an unswerving course

In France the sting of defeat after
the Franco-Prussian war turned the

see Napoleon enshrined as an idol. An
equally logical explanation is found
for the most notable feature of the Ma

anyone could have foreseen the pres

that Napoleon was one of the greatest
most forceful and picturesque charac
tiers in the entire range of history, and
that hitherto he had been inadequate

William M. Sloane, the greatest Amer

commissioned to write the life, and
his years of study among unpublished
archives have brought out his com

The earliest attempts torear Angora
goats in the United States were only
partially successfuE because they were
introduced to localities where the
climatic conditions were not such as
they require. They can withstand
considerable dry cold, but the conn.,
paratively humid climate of the mid
die and southern Atlantic states proved
unfavorable to them. But in Texas
and on the Pacific slope, where they
have more recently been bred, they
flourish abundantly. But nearly all OF
