The Rest Cure.

Rev. DR.. T. Dewitt Talmage said in re-
cent sermon:
"A celebrated doctor of France has re-
Gently discovered something which all
drinkers ought to know. He has found
out that alcohol in every shape, whether
OF wine or brandy or beer, contains para
site life, called bacillus potumann. BY
powerful microscope these living things
are discovered, and when you take strong
drink you take them into the stomach, and
then into your blood, and getting into the
crimson Goals Of life they go into every
tissue of your body, and your entire or
ganism is taken possession OF by these
noxious infinitesimals. When In delirium
tremens II man sees every form of reptili-
AN life, it is only these parasites Of the
brain in exaggerated size. 1t is not hal
lucination that the victim Is suffering
from. He only sees in the room what is
actually crawling and rioting in his own
brain, Every time you take strong drink
you swallow these maggots, and every
time the imbiber Of alcohol in any shape
feels vertigo or rheumatism or nausea, it
is only the jubilee OF these maggots. Ef-
forts are being made for the discovery of
some germicide that can kill the parasites
of falcoholism, but the only thing that will
ever extirpate them is abstinence, to
which l would before God swear all young
men and DID,

Full.Grown Caribou.

Full-grown caribou not only differ
widely in weight, varying from 200 to
400 pounds, but also in general ap-
pearance. The prevailing color of
the animal when he has donned his
winter coat is dark fawn inclining to
gray and fading to almost pure white
On the neck and under parts of the
body. Before the snow falls an edu-
Gated eye is required to distinguish
his form on the sombre gray of the
barrens. Occasionally what are
known as ''red bulls" are seen, ami
mails of dull yellowish color and
very large in size, distinguished by
spindling horns. Some caribou,
especially young COWS, are almost as
graceful as the deer, while others re-
semble an overgrown goat. They
possess variety of facial expression
bordering on the grotesque, some ex-
hibiting a muzzle arched like that of a
Percheron horse, others a square,
massive nose like that of the domestic
COW, and others resembling the come
~ countenance of the Virginia deer.

A Very Good Bid.

1t was at an auction room. The
place was crowded, and the collection
of furniture, art and bric-a-brac being
unusually choice, the bidding had
been very spirited. During an inter
val of the sale, man with pale and
agitated countenance pushed his way
to the auctioneer's side and engaged
him in whispered conversation.
Presently he stood aside, and the
auctioneer raped attention with his
little hammer.
Ladies' and gentlemen" he said,
in loud voice, 'I have to inform you
that gentleman present has lost his
pocketbook containing $500. He Of
fers $3.50 for it's return"
Instantlya a small man in the back
ground sprang upon chair, and cried

The Dangers of Alcohol.

At the last meeting of the Paris Hospitals
Medical Society, NJ Legendre, alarmed by
the ever-increasing amount of drunk en-
ness, asked ii it would not be possible to
withstand this by means of meetings, in
sistence on the dangers of alcohol and by
what he considered an even better method.
that Is, getting up for the instruction OF
patients lantern shows with exhibitions OF
anatomic preparations to show the dangers
OF alcohol. NJ. Legendra has had printed
for the use Of all his patients little leaflet,
the text of which runs as follows:
Most OF the diseases treated in the hos
pitfalls arise from alcoholic drinks-that Is
to say, they are either caused or aggravated
by the abuse of alcohol. All alcoholic
drinks are dangerous, and the most harm
ful are those which contain aromatics in
addition to alcohol-as, for instance,
absnthe and the so-called aperients, called
ainers.
Alcoholic drinks are more dangerous
when taken on an empty stomach or be-
tween meals. A man necessarily becomes
an alcoholic-i. e., slowly poisoned by alco-
hol-even il he never gets drunk, when
every day he drinks alcohol In the form of
liqueur or too much wine, more than one
litre per diem.
alcohol is poison the habitual use of
which destroys more or less quickly, but
none the less certainly, all the organs cost
necessary to lfe-the stomach the liver,
the kidneys, the blood vessels, the heart
and the brain. Alcohol excites man, but
does not strengthen him. 1t is no substi-
tute for food, but takes away the taste for
| it. Those who often drink alcohol or too
much wine (more than one litre day) are
much more liable to Illness. and when ill
are much worse, for the disease is often
complicated with fatal deirium
Alcohol is Il frequent cause of consump-
tion by its power of weakening the lungs
Every year we see patients who attend the
hOSnituls aIenh
months later suffering from consumption,
Fathers and mothers who drink often have
children who are deformed or idiots or who
die from ilts.''
