WHY MEN BECOME DRUNK.
Philosophy of Inebriety Considered by
Learned Writer.

A paper just published by Sir
Lauder Brunton and Dr. Zunnicliffe
upon Certain Apparently Injurious
Constituents of Potable Spirits" goes
long way toward explaining the
reason for the various physiological
symptoms arising from overin-
diligence in alcoholic liquors, par
ticularly whisky. Their researches
show that while intoxication is un-
doubtedly caused by the ethyl alcohol
in the liquor, the actual way in which
inebriates get drunk, or get sober
after being drunk, depends on the
equality of the liquor partaken of, and
that this quality is positively impurity
called ''furfural' which the whisky
contains. The source of furfural IL.
the manufacture of whisky is a class
of substance known as pentosans;
these are derived from the cellulose
of the grain husks, and under the in
fluence of heat, in the presence Of
acids, are in the wash still converte
into furfural.
This furfural in the body tends 20
pass into its corresponding acid, thus
diminishing the alkalinity of the
blood, which, according to most
physicians, favors the occurrence Ct

BY THE AUTHOR OF
ROMANCE OF A YOUNG GIRL.


torture to her? Then curiosity to see
the girl whom the dowager Lady
RIVERS wished to take her place
reigned supreme.
She went away to give the orders,
and to tell the housekeeper to have
everything ready for Miss MARI
The housekeeper looked delighted
when she heard the intelligence.
1T is always a bright day for us
| when Miss Mari comes" she said.
Violet scrutinize1 her eagerly; she
longed to know more and hear more
about her rival. but it was impossible
to ask. The housekeeper read the
question in her eyes.
"She is a lovely lady, our Miss
MARI" she continued. "and she has
more lovers. | should think. than
there are days in the year."
She cannot love them ALL" Violet
replied, smiling. Does the little
crowd Of admirers follow her here?"
NO when Miss Mari comes to stay
with our mistress. she devotes all her
time to her. We have no visitors at
Queens Elm.
A hundred questions trembled on
Violet's lips, but she would not ask
one. 1t was so strange, this meeting
the great heiress there. After all. it
was perhaps as well. Now she would
see what her rival was like. the girl
whom Lady RIVERS so vehemently
desired that her son should marry.
All day she was restless; she could
not give her full and undivided
thought to what she was doing. She
repeated over and ever again to her
self, each time with fresh wonder,
that she was in the home of the only
woman who had ever been her rival.
What would her husband say If he
knew? To what complication would
it give rise? She was not much sur
prised to find that the order of the
house was somewhat changed. The
dinner was later. and some magnifl-
cent silver service was disinterrod;
there was a general air of expecta-
ton.
Violet could have counted the beats
of her heart; even Mrs. Ingram's
worn, placid face was moved as
though with some great pleasure. 1t
was after sunset when Violet heard
the sound of earriage-wheels. She
absented herself on some pretext, not
caring to be present when the two
ladies met. She was rather frighten-
ed by her own emotion; she did not
quite understand it. Was it love or
jealousy that stirred her heart with
such keen interest?
When the dinner-bell rang, she
went into the drawing-room, wonder
ing why Mrs. Ingram had not sent
for her as usual; and then she saw
standing there a woman beautiful as
a dream, tall and stately, yet not
proua-a graceful, gracious woman,
with an exquisite face and eyes soft
and dark as night.
Miss MARI went up to her with
white outstretched hands.
, Mrs. Ingram has been speaking OF
you" she said. Il am pleased to see
you; you are great comfort to her.
And so the hands of the two wo-
men whose lives crossed so strangely
met for the first time.

Charm in Simplicity.
A great deal has been said and very
little done about nervous prostration,
but the subscriber is of the opinion
that the rising infection, as constant
demand upon the sensibilities, is re-
sponsible for much of the tired feeling

The most charming people in the
world are without mannerisms-I al
most said without manners, because
when one praises ones manners one
praises certain obstrusiveness. The
perfect manner is that which makes
no demands and, like a well-fitting
coat, is put on without further thought.

and unaffected. We commend the
self-restraint of Washington rather
than the duplicity of a M; hiavelli.
And between friends Il is a conde-
scension to put on manners as we
would put on a different dress on
occasion. At any rate it wounds our
democratic self-respect to see the
rules of etiquette set out in cold black
and white. The taste of the age is
too refined to submit to having the
tricks of the trade revealed. 1t spoils

the prospects of half a corn crop, and
went further toward making good pas

However but little rain is reported in
northern and western Kansas, as some
points are still suffering drOuth. which
extends back for from four to eight
weeks. The rain in the territory be
gan this afternoon. covering a large1
area in the vicinity of FL Reno, and

suddenly, caught many at the regis

their canvas shelters.
The people were too grateful to COM
