physicians, with no improvement; on
the contrary, it was gradually getting
larger, until l lost all hope of getting
him cured, when was told of Smiths

The Milwaukee Citizens view on drunk.
ard reformation is rs follows:
"'To reform drunkards, is mistaken
line of temperance effort. What the drunk
ard needs is the fool-killer rather than a
temperance society. Whom II man has got
ten drunk half-a dozen times before his
thirtieth year he is not only u hard subject
to spend effort upon, but in niue cases out
Of ten he is a useless subject. Let him
alone. Let the drunkards kill themselves
off.
1.-The drunkard has no right to impose
his case upon the temperance society aud
ask 1t to neglect worthler purposes for the
sake OF saving his precious body and soul.
1t Is better to give the pledge to one boy
than to ten drunk ards.
1.-The best charity towards the chronic
beggar when he asks for aims Is to kick
him. The best charity towards the drunk
ard is to hope that he may repent and die
before he sins again."

proprietors of different brands OF intoxi-

advertising their poisons as protection
against the dangers Of hot weather, are
now advertising them rs a sure fortifica-

Gates of temperance should miss no oppor-
tunity OF reciting to their friends and
neighbors the testimony of such competent
witnesses as the great successful Arctic ex-
plorers, who are Il unit in their assertion
that drink Is not an aid to the human sys-
tenn In resisting intense cold. 1t is no.
table fact that both Nansen and Peary, the
most successful of all explorers. totally re-
pudiate and condemn the use of intoxi-
cants; while the only explorer, whose tes-
timony, so far as we can discover, has ever
been recorded in their favor is poor Gree
ley, whose expedition was one Of tho most
tragic failures OF Arctic history.

Law Tor Inebriates.

Since inebriety has been recognized Of
f1cially by some States us Il diseuse laws
have been passed for the treatment or cure
OF inebriates. In few States the law pro-
vides that they may be committed to the
hospitals for the insane. In Vermont they
may be ploced in such institutions or in
private institutions for the cure of drunk
enness. Massachusetts has State institu.
tion for the treatment of such cases. Penn
sylVnnia authorizes the counties to estab-
lish hospitals In connection with the work
houses and to commit all inebriates for a
course OF treatment OF from six months to
two years, the indigents at the expense OF
the county.
In Michigan and Wisconsin INDECENT in
ebriates are committed at public expense
to some private asylum, the commitment
in the former State being for not more than
thirty days and the cost of treatment in
the latter not to exceed $780,
In Louisiana the judge of the district
court, upon the application of the relatives
of an INDECENT drunkard who has lost the
power OF reasonable self-control," may
commit him ut the expense Of the parish
to some institution for treatment, provided
that 1t will agree to cure the inebriate at
cost not to exceed 800. California has
authorized certain counties holding lands
reserved for the purpose to build hospitals
for the inebriate. Minnesota has provided
for the commitment of drunkards to
special department Of the State Hospital
for the Insane and also authorizes the
county judge to commit drunkards to such
a special department Mt a cost not to ex-
ceed $100.-New York Press.

Old World Thirst on the Increase.

Last year the population OF the British
Isles drank gallon OF VIII sky per head
besides a vast amount of liquors In other
forms. Our cousins drink entirely too
much, and their wise men are telling them
50. Moreover. they are not getting better,
but worse. The London Lancet says, that
within twenty years the deaths Of men
from chronic alcoholism have increased
eighty-two per cent, and of women 145 per
cent. Diseases due to alcohol have also
increased very seriously, especially among
women. This is much the same story that
is told Of France, Belgium and other con.
tinental countries. What ails the old world
that its thirst is so uncomfortable? Tales
of this sort tend to make us patient
with the teetotalers. Great Britain
derives an enormous revenue from rum,
aud doubtless every true British patriot
drinks many times a day to the extension
of the empire, but it looks rs IL there might
come day when the extension of the EN-
pire will seem of less vital Importance than
the restriction OF rum. Pulling at ones
boot straps is not the way to rise in the
world and the distension of British sub
iects with alcoholic beverages will not avail
in the long run for the spread OF British
power.-New York Life.
