Love of Liquor Not Hereditary.

Professor Sims Woodhead. speaking before the Society For the Study of Inebriety in England, came to these conclusions: He held most strongly that a direct transmission of the taste for alcohol never occurred. Of course he accepted very fully the fact that certain nervous diseases and degenera- tions involving certain altered and weakened inhibitory powers are trans mitted from generation to generation These. however, did not always as- sume the same form, the manifesto tion of the effect often taking on very different characters in different gen erations.
 But whatever character they asSum- ed the result as regards alcohol was inevitably the same, and until far more evidence was brought forward than had yet been presented he should strongly maintain that what was So often spoken of as an inherited taste for alcohol was an inherited weakness and leSSened self restraint affecting many other things besides drink and that a direct transmission of the taste for alcohol from parents to children in a constitution otherwise healthy did not occur. As with tuberculosis, the disease was not transmitted. but only the weakly and unbalanced condition of the tissues.-London Hospital

WRECKING A BRIDGE.
Novel Use of Electricity successfuIIy
 Tried at Clinton, Ind.

Novel Use of Electricity Successfully Tried at Clinton, Ind.
 The 735-foot bridge over the Wabash at Clinton, Ind, was wrecked in Au- gust by a Hoosier, who employed the heating power of an electric current to do the work, without injury to the sub structure. This exceedingly interest ing feat Is described in the Western Electrician.
 It appears that the bridge was, up to that time, the only toll bridge in the State, and was owned by one man. It had become antiquated, and the county authorities purchased 1t with the idea of erecting a steel bridge in its place, using the same piers and approaches. Under the terms of the contract, the owner of the bridge was to remove the superstructure inside of thirty days, without injuring in any way the sus taining piers and masonry. This was apparently a very easy task, but, after consultation with bridge builders, house wreckers, riggers, engineers, and, in fact, every one who had a plan to suggest, the only practical plan evolved was to build false work and take the bridge down piecemeal. To blow the bridge up with dynamite would prob ably injure the piers, and to burn it would likewise crack and injure the masonry. The thirty days elapsed, and no plan had been decided upon. An ex- tension of the time for one week was granted. At this point a young cleo trician living in Clinton came to the fore with a scheme to literally cut the bridge down with hot electric wires, and this unique plan was finally sue cessfully carried out with the greatest satisfaction, the operation requiring but ten hours.
 The bridge, which was built in 1853, consisted of three spans, with 70fOot draw, and, as already mentioned, was 735 feet long. Each of these spans was composed of nine chords, each consist ing of three nine-inch by nine-inch yell low poplar timbers. It is perfectly evil dent, therefore, that if each of these timbers was cut through simultaneous

Her Last Heart Beat.

Dr. J. B. Thomas during his connec- tiOn with the Brooklyn City hospital had an experience which was unprece- dented in medical history. There was in his ward a woman who had a very defective heart. Dr. Thomas found her much improved one morning and stopped at her bedside to congratulate her upon her condition. The woman said that her condition was so much better that she thought she could get up and leave the institution. Having his stethoscope with him, the doctor bent over. the patient to hear the pulsa- tions of the heart. They were exceed ingly irregular, and for some seconds be counted them.
 Suddenly there was a pause, and he waited for the recurring beat. Maybe three seconds elapsed. and still there was no sound.
 He looked up at her face in time to see the expression of death settling over the features. The pupils of the eyes dilated and swelled as he watched them, and the skin assumed a peculiar mOttled appearance.
 She whispered: My God! What does this meanY' For a second the automatic action of the respiratory or gans continued. and there were con- vulsive twitchings of the facial mus cles, but death came when the last beat of the heart had died away.-De- troit Journal.

The most prominent "class in spell ing" in the United States is the Board of Geographic Names. It consists of ten experts, selected from the various departments and scientific bureaus in Washington, who meet monthly for the purpose of deciding how disputed geographic names should be spelled. Their decision is adopted by the gov ernment for all its publications, by the textbook writers also; and the news paper editors usually accept their con- clUslons. Upon the organization of this board in 1890, 1t adopted certain general principles. These are some times carried out by pOstotfice clerks so mechanically as to bring upon the board criticism 1t does not deserve. For example, the board decided that wherever it could be judiciously done, names of two words, such as Middle Branch, should be written as one word -Middlebranch. This rule, which was wise when used with good judgment. became absurd when, in $ntorPreting 1t, a postal officer decided that West Palm Beach should be spelled West palmbeach. A compromise has been made, and West Palmbeach adopted instead. Other decisions of the board are that the final "h'' in such a word as Pittsburgh should be dropped. Also the "ugh" In such word as Marlbor- ough, and the possessive form wher- ever practicable. The theory of the Loard Is to secure uniformity and sim plicity, not to reform the language.

From the published reports of his do- ings the young man known as the Earl of Yarmouth does not deserve the ill., natured criticisms that are being di- rected against him. His lordship is poor. which is not at all to his discredit, and he seeks to make an honest living, which is distinctly to his credit. It is evident that he is far from being fool, for he has driven a hard bargain with the theatrical manager who has em- ployed him. Nor can he be blamed for utilizing his title as an asset seeing that it is about the only thing of value that he possesses. We may suggest, moreover, that the young man might very easily have turned his patent to nobility to a more profitable use had he chosen to sacrifice his independence by becoming the husband of some American young woman whose papa was willing to buy her a title as he would buy her a pair of diamond ear rings. All things considered, there fore the Earl of Yarmouth strikes us as a rather estimable young man.

The Boston Globe gives a vivid ac- count of New England farms going to ruin, especially in Maine. The aban- doned farm story has been familiar for years to readers of New England pa- pers, but the Globes description shows the tragical side of the struggle for ex- istence that is going on in many New England State. In Maine many of the farms are now practically worthless and never were valuable except for the timber that once grew upon them. But the lumber industry of the Pine Tree State is rapidly passing away, the farms have been exhausted, and their owners, in many cases old and poor, are rapidly drifting to the pOOrhOuse. In some of the towns" the policy of taking over farms in return for a guarantee to keep perhaps man and his wife in board and clothes the re- mainder of their days has been fol- lowed, but even this inexpensive way of acquiring land is too costly for the towns, and it is being discontinued. These abandoned farms are then con verted into plantations, and the towns unable to support the farm owners send them back to the farms to make a living for themselves free from taxa ton. Even this is frequently hard to do, so utterly worn out Is the soil.

OUTBOUND.

A lonely sail in the vast sea-room, have put out for the port of gloom. The voyage is far on the trackless tide, The watch is long, and the seas are wide. The headlands blue in the sinking day Kiss me hand on the outward way. The fading gulls, as they dip and veer, Lift me a voice that is good to hear. The great winds come, and the heaving
 sea, The restless mother, is calling me. The cry of her heart is lone and wild, Searching the night for her wandered
 child.
 Beautiful, weariless mother of mine, In the drift of doom am here, am
 ~ thine.
 Beyond the fathom of hope or fear, From bourn to bourn of the dusk steer. Swept on in the wake of the stars, in the
 stream Of rowing tide, from dream to dream. Bliss Carman.

Lincoln Omit.

A gentleman who knew Lincoln well told the following story about "Old Abe"
 About two years before Mir. Lincoln ran against Mir. Douglas for the Unit ed States senatOrship 1 was a witness in Judge David Davis court in the Me Lean county circuit. During the prog ress of the case MT. Lincoln, who had come up from Springfield the night be fore, entered the courtroom and stood before the big stove in one corner of the room to warm himself. Several lawyers and acquaintances at once gathered around MT. Lincoln, and he began telling stories in a low voice.
 Judge Davis finally arose, stretched himself and in drawling voice said:
 "'See here, now, Lincoln, either yor will have to quit telling stories, or will have to adjourn court
 "'All right, judge replied MT. Lin coin. I've got business down the street, so I'll gO.'
 MT. Lincoln was the most magnetic entertaining man 1 ever knew. People have said he was homely, but when he was speaking I've seen his face light up with such a brilliant expression that he looked positively handsome. "- Chicago Journal.
 Wanted n Haunted House.
 The following curious letter was re- gently received by a house renting agency in London:

I will pledge myself not to pander to local gossip. 1 have small income on which I can subsist My sole object in thus applying to you is to be allowed to liv1 in a place in which I do not need tn pay any rent.
 The inquirer was informed that the firm had no haunted houses on its list but would inform him when it had.
