POISON IN LIQUORS.
DEADLY COMPOUNDS IN FRENCH
WINES AND LIQUORS.
startling Results Obtained From
Experiments on Guinea Pigs That
Probably Account for the Low
Birth Rate in France.

Whether pure alcoholic beverages in
limited quantities exert baneful or
beneficial effect upon the human sys-
tenn has long been a matter of dispute
among learned physicians. Much light
has been thrown upon this point by
some experiments recently made by
DR.. Laborde of Paris. 1..
The slow but steady diminution of
the birth rate in France Is attributed
In great degree to the enormout con-
sumption Of wines and to those insid-
ious liquors which also form so i'm
portant a portion of that country's
exports.
There is every indication that in
time destroy u.s." said DR.. Bergeron,
of the French Academy Of Medicine,
in 1869. 'The diminishing birth rate,
the congenital weaknesses which be-
come each day more general and ap-
parent among the newly born of the
working class, the diseased and de-
formed children which crowd our hos
pitfalls, the increasing number of cases
OF epilepsy, idiocy and other mental
disorders, natural or acquired, and the
multiplication of pulmonary diseases;
this is the annually increasing tribute
which alcohol continually demands"
Since these words were written, nearly
thirty years ago. the situation has be-
come yet more grave.
The ruin by the phylloxera of many
of the French vineyards led the chem
lists of commerce to devise numberlesS
alcoholic LIQUORS whose bases are pois-
onous, and whose moderate use, even,
is more disastrous in their effect upon
the human organism than would be
the excessive consumption of unadul-
terated stimulants.
1t costs the French people 377 900
francs per hour to be governed, and in
the carefully balanced budget the re-
ceipts from taxes on alcoholic bever-
ages is a great item. If drinking were
stopped there would be deficit.
The most eminent scientists in
France were therefore called upon,
and of late have done much toward
establishing the comparative harmful
ness of various products Of distillation.
Tue next step will be to prescribe
those alcoholic beverages which have
been shown to be venomous in their
effects, and to encourage the sale of
others by guaranteeing the purity of
their ingredients.
It would take many columns of
space to explain in detail the re-
searches of these French savants-
researches which represent years of
study and xperinent-but the results
which they have arrived at may be
summarized as follows:
Poisons in Alcohols.
AL badly distilled alcohols contain
poisons, of which the most terrible are
pyromacic aldehyde and furfurol. AL
>dehyde is produced by the oxodation
of ordinary alcohol. When exposed to

HOW to Walk Ensfairs

There are but few persons who

said a well-known physician. Usual

his foot in taking each step, springins
himself up to the next step. This is
very tiresome and wearing on the
muscles, as it throws the entire sus-
pended weight Of the body on the
muscles of the legs ard feet. You
should in walking or clim bling Stairs
seek for the most equal distribution of
the body's weight possible. In walk
ing upstairs your feet should be,
placed squarely down on the STEP,
heel and all, and then the work should
be performed slowly and deliberately.
in this way there is no strain upon
any particular muscle, but each one is
dong its duty in 4 natural manner.

Common Errors of SDecch

1t is the common complaint that the
English language is incorrectly used
by a large part of the young people of
the present generation. Not only the
ignorant but the we'll educated do this.
A writer in Demorest's Magazine
points out some of the most common
OF the errors made in every day
speech, which may easily be avoided
by little thought and care.
Many fairly educated people violate
every day of their lives a nice distinc-
tlon III the use of adverbs and ad-
]ectves. This occurs with such verbs
as appear, feel, look and shine, which,
according to their meaning, are either
modified by the one or completed by
the other. When the verb expresses
quality in the subject it must be
completed by an adjective; as, Dor
othy is i'll and looks very bad; Mar
guerite looked beautiful last night;
these We're both qualities that marked
their appearance and not manner of
action; but, the little girl looked shyly
around the room (manner of using her

eddy feel bad; but the diftident. over
grown boy feels around awkwardlv

keenly. 1t is just as correct to saw
you seemed confusedly as you felt
badly.
The sun shines bright expresses a

the following amusing story:
1T was a very swell wedding. Just
as the bride had reached the altar
she felt that something connected
with the waistband of her skirts had
given away. 1t was an appalling mo-
ment. In anticipation Of departing
for the East Immediately after the
ceremony she had doEned two warm
under petticoats, a silk one and little
flannel one. Which Of these two had
given way she was at a loss to con-
ceiva, In an agony Of apprehension
she lowered her head as she stood to
hide the color which rushed to her
face, and while she extended one
hand to receive the ring which was to
change her, as at the touch Of an en-
chanters wand, from Miss to Mrs,
she pressed the other tightly against
her waist in hopes to avert the ex-
pected catastrophe. Thus, holding
her hand in the same position, she
proceeded down the aisle beside her
husband, experiencing, as she told an
intimate friend, the fortunes of the
damned. By the time she had
reached her carriage she had lost con-
troll of the petticoat She stepped in
and 1t fell at her feet. She kicked it
under the seat and burst into tears
