cholera pig and was trying to spew
it up. Franz reminds us of non

tub of water and pulling it out, and
looking for the hole. Franz has
stepped out of the g. 0. p, and
would have the people behold how
great a break there is made in the

largest telescope to even discover
that he once stood in the ranks OF

habit in the person himself, but a
step toward the setting up Of an
hereditary tendency to drunken
ness in his children and descend
ants. On the other hand, the more
strongly any such besetting sin as
sails us by nature-the more deep
ly implanted it may be in the very
form and structure of our nervous
systematic greater is the necessity
for constant watchfulness against its
insidious attacks, and the deeper the
Importance Of guarding against it by
every means that lies in our power.
