INEBRlETY. AND IMPURE AIR.
Some Cases in Point Showing the Bearing
of the One Upon the Other.

Some Cases in Point Showing the Bearing
of the One Upon the Other.
Bad air and bad ventilation ALWAYS
leave the system debilitated and favor
administrations, and the formation
of compounds in the blood and tissues
that are distinctly poisonous. Alcohol
Red at this time may bring to the sys-
tenn germs and soil for the culture
and growth of still more poisonous
states. In all events, it brings in
creased weakness and degeneration
with diminished power of resistance.
1nebriates from crowded tenements
and basement residences are always
more degenerate. Inebriates from
homes of wealth, in wealthy sections
of the cities, where possible bad ven
tilation exists, are equally exhausted
and WORKOUT. Both of these classes
make rapid recoveries in well-venti-
lated rooms, and seem to have been
suffering largely from poisoned air.
Clerks, business men, and persons
who have ill-ventilated offices, where
they spend many hours each day, are
far more inclined to the use of spirits
than others in better surroundings.
A case was reported to me by an
eminent New York physician, of a
merchant who tried to abstain from
all use of spirits at home, without sue
cess. He worked steadily in his Office
and lived in a rich house up town,
where, apparently, every condition of
healthy living was present. After sew
eral Intellectual efforts to give up all
use of spirits, he went out campaign
ing in the White Mountain regions.
In few days all taste for spirits left
him, and for the first time in twenty
years he became total abstainer.
On return to the city he drank again,
and could not stop. The next season
he moved out into the country, and all
taste for spirits left him. Finally, he
gave up his city residence, and lives
out in the country, coming to the
city for few hours at time, and
has become total abstainer, not hav-
ing any taste or desire for spirits 1t
seems most rational to suppose that
poisoned air and defective ventilation
were the exciting causes of the drink
craze in this case. No other condi-
ton of surroundings and living could
explain his ability to stop drinking in
the country and not in the city.
Another incident, well verified,
seemed to bring out the same fact: A
delicate, nervous child of six wears,
supposed to be inclined to consump-
tior, was guarded with extraordinary
care against colds and the open cir, in
rich city home. At fifteen years of
age strong taste for spirits developed,
and at twenty he was an inebriato.
His mother died and he was forced to
go into the country to live. He be-
came total abstainer at once, and is
now, at the age of twenty-six
years, strong temperance man. 1t

would appear that in this case some
condition of cell and tissue starvation
began from defective aeration and
continued until the surroundings
changed.

oxidation of the blood, together with
imperfect elimination of waste prod

to remove these possible causes should
precede all other means of treatment.

ONE SONG OF LOVE.

What man shall say sweet friend, that life
Hath no rich rainbows in the strife? .
Here is thy child. and here thy wife!
Here is the love of one who stood
That day. in rosiest womanhood,
And said: with thee for ILL., or good!"
Who saw no winter in life's May
Thy hand in hers-thy way her way,
And all things else but yesterday!
Who faced the future, and who said:
eff thorns or roses be thy bed,
There by thy side, lay my head"
And here, when storms are blowing wild
Close to those earlier lips that smiled,
There comes the clinging Of a child
Arms, like necklace, may adorn
Thy neck! At night the stars ore
born,
And splendor heralds every morn.
Oh. storm, and strife. and poverty!
What kindly ministers are ye,
While Love still spreads couch for mel
That love which still endureth long
Content to suffer and be strong;
That makes all life one songi one song!

INCREASE OF TEMPERANCE

Encouraging News From the Scottish
Highlands-Work of tho Gospel.
DR.. Norman Walker, in giving an &C.
count of a visit to the Highlands, SAYS
"a distinct change has come over thu
country with regard sto temperance.
Time was when whisky was constantly
in evidence. l remember the late Mr.
Hugh Handyside telling of a meeting
he had had somewhere with deacon's
court, when glass went round before
commencement of business. Now most
of the ministers are teetotallers, the
number of public houses is exceedingly
small-far fewer in proportion TO the
population than in the southland such
a sight as that of a drunkard is very
seldom indeed to be witnessed,
at least in the north. Tho
only place which holds an exceptional
position is Stornoway. During the
fishing season the drinking there is
deplorable." When moderate drinking
was substituted for total abstinence,
Canon Ellison, and like-minded earnest
men, found that the preaching of the
Gospel was like casting pearls before
swine" But when the stumbling
block of drink was removed by ''entire
abstinence from that which had been
the occasion of the SIM" and Christian
men and women, lin the exercise of
their Christian liberty" associated
themselves with the victims of the
drink, lin their voluntary abstinence, :"
it was found that the Gospel became
again 'the power of God unto saliva

Killing OF the Original Tribes of People
Inhabiting Siberia.
1t was stated at late meeting of
the st. Petersburg Hygienic society
that two Of the oldest tribes in the
Russian empire, the Ostjaken and the
Samojeden, the original inhabitants of
Siberia, are fast dying out, and will
before long have to be numbered
amongst the extinct races of human
history The districts which have
been inhabited by these tribes are al
ready becoming desolate wastes. Two
direct causes and one indirect cause
were given by different speakers
for this melancholy phenome-
non. The direct causes are
want of sufficient nourishment
and the increasing use of spirituous
drinks. The indirect cause and the
original blame is attributed to that
old and worldwide offender against
aboriginal races, the greedy mercan-
tile adventurer. Merchants, with
their heartless middlemen, have been
in the habit of visiting these tribes
every year, and have managed to ex-
propriate them of nearly everything
by an iniquitous system of barter. 1t
has been the recognized ''custom of
trade" to make the poor Samojedan
drunk before beginning to do "busi,
ness" as this made it easy for the ''mer-
chant" to get his wares at price
