A TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.

Warning to Those Who Take a Drink
When Fatigued-AlcoIol Cannot Add
to the Reserve of Energy stimu.
lants Never Increase Brain Capacity.
DR.. George Hershell, of London, has re-
GENTLY written book entitled, "Health
Troubles OF City Life,' that is very highly
praised by London critics. In one OF the
chapters devoted to the study OF stlmu-
ants he SAYS:
"StimulaDts never increase the natural
capacity of the brain. They can only alb.
stract for the purposes of work in hand
some OF the energies which are solely
needed to repair and to restore a brain
which has already been taxed to the furth-
est limit which is consistent with health.
10 remove the sense of fatigue caused by
overwork by the consumption of alcohol is
TO close ones ears to the voice OF nature.
me WEAKNESS of the brain Is a protest
against further exertion until recuperation
has been obtained by rest; and IL the weary
teeling Is deadened or destroyed by ad-
ventitious means, nature will exact her
penalty.
"When the overworked man of business
having been on his legs ali day, and feel
Ing fit to drop, with a sensation of sall
goneness' about the region of his stomach.
rouses himself with whatever he is in the
habit OF taking, be it whisky, champagne.
or even tea or coffee. he does not add one
atom OF force to his stock OF energy, al
though he fancies he does, but having put
to sleep his sense Of wearln ess, simply ap-
proprlates some of his reserve for the pres
snt necessity. He has accepted bill at
short date to which ruinous rate of in
crest is attached, and his resources will
aot allow him to make many repetitions Of
The experiment. His account at the bank
If life will soon be overdrawn. Alcohol
cannot add one iota to his res erve OF nerv-
,us energy, but 1t may delude him into ex-
1austing it. The busy man should once
or all rid himself Of this fancy that he can
.reate by artificial means an abnormal
store of brain power. He cannot enlarge
The limits which nature has set up.''

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

In our issue of yesterday we gave at
large the suggestion Of the Permanent Inn
provement Commission in regard to need
ed improvements and the ways to raise
the means therefor. while agreeing with
the Commission in a general way, we
cannot do so entirely. The following
editorial from the Baltimore Sun Of this
date is an intelligent discussion of the
matter and one which we endorse in all
its features. The SIN says:
Leading citizens of Annapolis are now
engaged in anenterprise which cannot be
too highly commended, namely-improv-
ing and identifying the town. A COM
mittee of the City Council has made a
report recommending that the city borrow
$Ioo, 900 for smooth streetsand other bet
terments. The proposition to redeem
the bonds at the rate of $40 900 each de.
cade will make the burden fall very
lightly upon this generation. But it the
bonds are issued they should be made
payable sooner, at the option ofthe city.
Il is more than likely that if such sum
of money should be spent in improving
Annapolis it would attract so many resi-
dents and cause such an increase in the
taxable basis that il would afford relief to
the present taxpayers rather than be an
additional burden. Annapolis possesses
every attraction as place of residence
for persons who have retired from bush
ness. and especially for retired officers of
the army and navy. The climate is
healthiul and mild. the location is beauti-
full. the society is refined and cultivated,
and the Naval Academy is social at
traction Of no ordinary kind. Besides
these things is the proximity to Baltimore
and Washington.
While showing willingness to put
their own shoulder to the wheel, the peo-
pie of Annapolis will call upon the FEEDER
al and State Governments for aid in paw
ing the streets around their own proper
ties. The United States and the State of
Maryland are by far the two largest
property-owners in the city, and both are
exempt from tax alton, while enjoying
many OF the advantages for which the
owners of private property are compelled
to pay. II is as little as the State can do
to pave the circles around the State
House and the Governor residence, and
it would be no more than justice for the
Federal Government to pave the street
leading from the State House to the main
entrance to the Naval Academy.

AGAINST THE CIGARETTE,

The only way to put down an evil is to
strike it at the source. 1t is in this way,
and only in this way that there can be
successful legislation against prevailing
evils Perhaps there is no greater evil
existing among our youth today. than
cigarette smoking. Boys of all sizes and
ages can be seen everywhere with a
cigarette in their mouths. 1t leads to
other bad habits not to mention its detri-
ment to life and health. The Georgia
Legislature has taken measure to exclude
the cigarette from the State. Cannot
the coming Maryland Legislature do
likewises The lower house ofthe Gener-
al Assembly OF Georgia has adopted the
following resolution:
Be if,xsolved BY tie House. the Senate
eonemying, That the Senators and Con-
gressmen from Georgia be requested to
introduce and support bill authorizing
the State OF Georgia to enact legislation
looking to the prevention OF the importa-
ton of cigarettes into the State"
Let some good women of Annapolis in
teres,ed in the welfare OF the boys who
will make our men. and rule over our
city, take some active measure toward
having the coming legislature adopt some
measure similar to the Georgia legisla-
ture.
Smoking cigarettes is crime among
the Abyssinians. these people are appar-
emily not half as bad as they have been
represented. Why should it not be a
crime in Maryland?

Pen picture of Labouchere.

Mr.. Henry Labouchere is distinctly
leader, but his followers read the news
papers they do not sit in the house of
commons. For certain purposes he is
allied with Sir Charles Dixie, but on
other questions, like the maintenance
of military expenditure, there is sharp
cleavage between the two. No; Mr.
Labouchere undoubtedly has influence,
but it is only acct lentally that it makes
itself felt in parliament. He has a seat
at the corner Of the bench below the
gangway, which he shares with Sir
Charles Dixie, and on the rare occasions
when he takes his hat off to secure that
seat while he moves in and out of the
house il may be known that he is going
to make a serious speech On other oc-
casions he walks about in the lobby
with his hat on and he always enters
the house with his hat in his hand. He
is deep in the counsels of those who are
called Little Englanders, and he is
one Of the few among them who don't
mind the title Pail Mall Magazine.
