Causes of Inebriety in Women.

Inebriety is bad enough in man, but in
woman 1t is even more pitiable, and, If 1t
be possible, more far-reaching and more
dreadful in its results. With women it
would, we think, be safe to say that the
origin of the drink habit lies in perturbed
physical conditions-in fact, that it is
disease, and not mere moral obliquity, as
many would have us believe. The conse-
quences of alcoholism in women are not so
quickly evident as in men. In the earlier
stages of inebriety in those cases in which
there is power OF volition, peculiar
shrinking from publicity protects some
women against the symptoms noted
among men at Il like period. Two causes
may be given for the lapse of women into
inebriety. First is the nervous condition
due to lack of nutrition and the wear and
worry of domestic life and the demands of
socety-an exhaustion for which relief Is
mistakenly sought in the transient hid of
alcohol; secondly the pain and unrest in
cident to disorders OF their sex, for which
solace is sought in the anRsthetic and
pardlyzing effects OF alcohol. In the first
case the woman who flies to drink must be
unaware or unmindful of the fact that its
taking involves a great risk of creating a
morbid condition that often find express
sion in constant inebriety. In the second
case, the so-called solace, with startling
and sorrowful frequency, ends in confirmed
alcoholism.-New York Ledger.

A Boys Musical Niceties.

These are some of the answers to
questions propounded to large boy
in school not far from Troy: Musi-
cal tones differ because some are nicer
than others. Pitch is the length Of
keyboard of an organ. An interval
in music is the distance on the key
board from one piano to the next.
The value of whole note depends on
where it comes. A whole notes re-
quires three beets. A rest means you
are not to sing it. We always sing
five lines and four spaces. A dotted
note holds on longer.-Troy Press.

The Liquor Curse in Alaska.

One of the least fortunate acts of the
United States Congress in regard to Alaska
has been the enaction of a most rigid pro-
hibitory law as to alcoholic liquors, says
David Starr Jordan in the Atlantic. This
is an iron-clad statute forbidding the i'm
portation, sale, or manufacture of intoxi-
cants of any sort in Alaska. The primary
reason for this act is the desire to protect
the Indians, Aleuts and EskimoS from
drug of which they are excessively fond
and which destroys them. But virtuous
statute may be the worst kind of law, as
was noted long ago by Confucius. This
statute has not checked the flow Of liquor
in Alaska, while it has done more than any
other influence to destroy the respect for
law In general, men who "are not in
Alaska for their health" are hard drinkers,
and liquor they will have. 1t is shipped to
Alaska rs "Florida water, =" s"Jamaica GIN
ger" "bay rum" Demijohns are placed
n the centre of flour barrels. sugar barrels,
in any package which may contain them.
With all this, there is a vast amount of out.
right smuggling which the Treasury De-
pa:tment tries in vain to check All south
eastern Alaska is one vast harbor, with
thousands of densely wooded islands, most
ly uninhabited. Cargoes of liquors can be
safely hidden almost anywhere, to be re-
moved piece by piece in smaller boats.
Many such 'rgoes have been seized and
destroyed, but the risk of capture merely
serves to raise the price of liquor. Once
on shore the liquor is safe enough. Up
wards of seventy saloons are running open
ly in Juneau, and perhaps forty in Sitka.
Most of these houses are the lowest of their
kind, because, being outlaws to begin with,
the ordinary restraints OF law and order
have no effect on them.
