The other day we took occasion to make
some remarks on kolafra, a liquor ex-
tracted from the kola nut, in which we
quoted current authority on the value of
the liquor as a stimulant for athletes, es-
pecially, and expressed doubts of the claim
for it that anv stimulant could be re-
sorted to without some reaction.
In the current issue of the l.. A. w.
Bulletin, the wheelmen's magazine, DIR.
GEORGE T.. BLAcKHAM discusses the kola
paradox from the standpoint OF physio-
logist and points out that the claim that,
the while stimulating and invigorating,
no "evil' or reactionary results can en-
sue, is as baseless as would be similar
claim for glass OF brandy. There is no
paradox about it. The claim cannot be
sustained.
Physiologically the principle is just
this, and il applies to the mildest of
stimulants, in degree, as to the strongest
to cup OF coffee, cold bath, glass
OF whiskey or even so unusual thing as
the kola product which may, perhaps, be
as stimulating as alcohol without show
ing any more of the after effects, known
as drunkenness, than does a cup OF coffee
All muscular exertion represents an ex-
penditure of energy which is stored up
in the nerves and muscles and is derived
from food and air. Nature provides that
there shall always be reserve of this
energy stored up while our daily exrsn-
diture OF energy " furnished by the food
we eat and the air we breathe. II we
spend more energy than we store up we
have TO draw upon the reserve, and il we
continue to do this we break down. IT,
on the other hand, we store up more
energy than we expend we grow strorg
Moderate exercise, by promoting appetite,
digestion and assimilation, tends TO in
crease our reserve OF energy; over-taxation
tends to reduce our reserve of energy
Stimulants furnish no energy, or, at most,
very little, but they do unlock our reserve
and permit us to draw upon it more free
ly than we could do without them. In
emergencies they are valuable, but for re-
peated use they are injurious, and even for
occasional use they are dangerous, be-
cause, by unlocking the reserve energy,
they give fictitious sense of strength
and freedom from fatigue which is so
alluring that the temptation to resort to
them again and again is very great, and
habit is readily formed, and once
formed is hard to get rid of.
DIR. BLACKHAM points out that there is
nothing especially new in the claims
made for kola. Much the same claims
were advanced for opium some centuries
ago, and in our time for cocaine. But the
old, old principle OF the impossibility of
lifting yourself by your boot straps has
ever held good. Stimulants, mild or
strong, do not make energy, but, as DR..
BLAcKHAM expresses it, 'simply allow us
to draw upon the reserve energy already
stored up, to invade our vital capital in
stead OF living on the interest, and while
justifiable and even useful in an emer-
gency are sure to be ruinous IL habitu-
ally or frequently resorted to-

Railroad are not allowed TO use tobacco
in any forp whatever while on duty nor

uniform or badge on. This rule is mpera-

The railroads can be as mighty in mis-

as for temperance in the use of liquor.

The Atlanta Journal tells story of naive confidence. A doctor was putting a bandage on a patient with broken leg, and noticed at the time that one of the pins went in with surprising difficulty. A few days later, when he came to make an examination, he found to his astonish- ment that the pin had been run through the skin twice, instead of through the cloth. He asked the patient, an Irish man, if he did not know that the pin was sticking in him. "To be sure I did," re- piled Pat, ''but I thought you knowed your business, so hilt me tongue"

There is a local interest in the new buildings for the state hospital for the insane at Middletown, just completed, from the fact that the architects are Cur tis & Johnson of Hartford, the junior member of which firm is Stafford boy. The building is 316 feet in total length and 128 feet in total width, and consists of a center building, facing the west, with two wings, one running north and the oth- CT south, each wing being 77 feet wide. The height of these wings is 45 feet to the roof peak, and of the center building 54 feet. The cost of the building complete was between $9O,OOO and $1OO, 900, and it is said to be the cheapest hospital build ing erected in this country, counting the number of patients to be accommodated. It will accommodate 250 patients, which is less than $4O0 per patient. It is usual to allow about $500 per patient in plan ming for such hospitals. This is one of the few public buildings that was built within the appropriation, the bill of extras being but few dollars. The Commercial Record says of the architects: "Much credit is due them for producing so satis- factory a building in every respect, at so economical a cost. They are obtaining an enviable reputation for the good taste and economy of their work and the thor 1oughness with which their work is carried out. They have on hand at the present time a new high school in Middletown, which is considered by every one to be 8 remarkably beautiful building, as well as economical in it's cost; they are also ar chitects of the school in Bristol, which is said to be one of the best district schools in the state; and because of the satisfac- tory work which they are doing, they have been selected, after thorough investiga- tion, as the architects of the proposed institutional church to be built by the Fourth Church Society of Hartford
 The German Reichstag on Saturday by a vote of 164 to 146 rejected the proposal of Herr Von Levetzow, president of that body, that the Reichstag charge him with the duty of offering the congratulations of that chamber to Prince Bismarck upon the occasion of the ex-chancellor's S0th birthday. The anger of the emperor at this affront to Bismarck-which under the circumstances, is also an affront to himself is likely to be shared by ma- jority of the German people. It is not impossible that the Reichstag may be dissolved and general election ordered.
