TWO THOUSAND VOLTS.


New York, March S.-Joseph
Hampel, an employee Of the Lexing-
ton avenue power house, while
working at his switch board, received
and survived an electric shock Of
about 1000 volts. The mans body
was burned black from head to
foot, every stitch OF clothing was
torn from him. and he fell senseless
through a hole simultaneously
burned in the floor by the terrific
electrical power. The doctors who
attended him say there is no case
on record of a man withstanding II
similar shock. The accident was

Alcohol and Insanity
Published at the request Of the Island Pond
w. c, T, U,

The English Temperance Rec
ord" in it's notice of DR.. L.
Forbes Winslow's Mad Human
ity,' gives number of pointed
quotations, as follows:
DR.. Winslow places alcohol at
the head of the list of causes of
insanity, and says :-'Speaking
generally l may state that quite
thirty percent of lunacy in all
parts of the universe originates
in habits of intoxication.' And
the alcoholism which develops
into insanity is a disease which
may be acquired and is often in
herited. If had my way Would
certify as being of "unsound
mind" all such individuals (un-
comfortable drunkards) not only
for their own benefit, but for that
of society, and of the generations
yet unborn For what are the
facts? The habitual drunkard
has liberty to 60 and do what he
likes. His children become insane
or themselves inherit the malady
of the father. From my expert
ence | regard chronic alcoholism
as one of the greatest vices of the
age, and one which has much to
do with the present degradation
of the human race Wewill close
this notice of Mad Humanity
by citing what is perhaps the
most terrible passage in the
whole book II regard lunacy
to be far less likely to be handed
down to posterity than alcoholic
craving. Of all vices it is the
most dreadful and the most
hereditary, whilst the situation
is so terrible when we consider
that the majority of those ad,
dicted to it, in the first instance,
can really abstain from If if they

How few people who seem to
grow old cheerfully and grace
fully. The average run of people
tell you about their aches and
pains, and how they can't do
this or that as they used to and
so on. They lose the pleasures
of the present by dwelling regret
fully upon those of the past, and
don't seem to realize the absur-
dity and hopelessness of their idle
wishing to be as they were twenty
years ago. Each period should
bring its own pleasures, and idly
dreaming of the past is never GO
ing to make the present any bet
ter. There is a ripeness that
comes only with the years that
all rational beings appreciate. If
one has stored his mind with
good reading and pleasant think
ing he will not want for delight
full occupation, and if one has
neglected such things in youth it
is better to take them up in old
age than to 60 on moping
and bemoaning ones advancing
years. In this work-a-dav scram.
BILE for things that in themselves
can never bring happiness we fail
to enjoy early and middle life as
we should, because we are bend
ing every energy to piling up
money that in the Culture" we
are going to enjoy. Then comes
the usual breaking down, the
common penalty of over work
and worry. There is money to
buy all sorts of good things to
eat, but the doctor tells us we
may not eat the things we think
I'VE would enjoy. The pleasures

Police Court Judge Peabody,
of St. Louis, thinks that under
certain conditions q husband has
a right to beat his wife. Judge
Peabody said, in passing judy
ment In this case the wife was
more guilty than the husband for
trying to contradict and thwart
her husbands will in the presence
of the children, and setting them
a bad example, which he had a
right to rebuke." Most assuredly
there should be harmony in a
family, especially between hus-
band and wife. 1t is even better
to allow the unjust punishment
of children than to have an open
difference between husband and
wife, as such differences of opinion
should be calmly and earnestly
considered in private, but the
idea that a man is justified in
striking his wife because she in
terferes in management of chill
dren is one that will not be in
dorsed by anybody except a few
brute-like, cowardly natures OF
uncomfortable temper.

There are thoughtless people in
the world Ito use no palmer
terms) who are constantine COM
planning at their misfortunes in
that they are prey to adverse
circumstances, and that Others
are taking advantage of them.
The truth is nine cut of every ten
of that class are giving advanta-
yes to Others. One great cause
of the miStortuneS of a large class
is permitting men to get large
prices for goods sold them and
on top of that large costs forcol-
lections, There would not long
be any officer hungry for fees if
people would keep out of his way.
There would be no insistent cred
itor if people did not run up bills.
To such as get in the way goods
are delivered at a profit and
enough more to cover the cost OF
collection. And when collections
are enforced fees are pulled not
always to the legal line but to
such tension as they will bear.
Instances are not very rare OF
men walking in and being sub
jected to costs amounting to a
week income. But the singular
thing about it is the little it dis
turbs them, while men laugh at
their folly, handle them with a
gloved hand of iron and 90 on
using them for gain. But they
enquire how they without means
can do otherwise. Some by I'M
avoidable accidents and misfor-
tune cannot, but those are very
few compared with those who
can. There is scarcely a young
man beginning life who cannot
get on the advantageous side of
things. He has only to eXpend
money for what he needs and not
what he desires. He can get all
his comfort requires. Necessi-
ties do not often get one into
debt beyond his or her depth /;
but luxuries do. Get your driv-
ing horse, piano, watch, and
their natural attendants first,
run in debt for them, and you
will have debts dragging you
down when they are old. But
exercise strict economy until you
get on the right side of things,
and get where the margin will be
in your favor, instead of its be-
