Baron, Idiot and Slave. These are
very common words, and yet we now
use them in far different sense than
they were formerly employed.
Idiot means simply private person,
one not engaged in any public office.
Hence, Jer my Taylor says, Humility
is duty in the great ones as well as in
idiots" (pr.yate persOns). The Greeks
have the expressions, "a priest or an
idiot Qayman),n poet or an idiot
(prOse writer. As idiots are not EN-
ployed in public offices, the term became
synonymous with incompetencY to full
fill the duties thereof. Greek idiotes. J
Baron properly means a dolt, from
the Latin baro "a thorough fooD. 1t
was term applied to a Servian soldier,
then to military chief, and ultimately
to a lord. The reverse of this is seen in
our word slave Ca servile menial) which
is the Slavonic word slav (noble, illus
trious); but the Slavi being conquered
by the Romans, were reduced to the
hard condition Of "hewers of wood aud
drawers Of water"
But probably the strangest corrup-
ton is that of the word wolf's-bane.
Bane the Teutonic word for all poison
Gus herbs. The Greeks, mlstaking
banes for beans, translated it kuamOs,
as they did hen-bane (huos-kuamos).
Now wolf's.bane is an acouite, with a
pale yellow flower, and therefore called
white-bane to distinguish it from the
blue aconite. The Greek for white is
leukos, hence "leukos- -kuamos;" but
lukos is the Greek for wolf, aud by
blunder leukos-kuamos white beam
got muddled into lukos-kuamas (wolf
beam. Now science steps in and makes
confusion worse cJnfounded. BOtan-
lists seeing the absurdity Of calling
aconite a bean, restored the original
word "bane," but retained the corrupt
word lucos, a wolf, and hence we get
the name VOLTS bane fora white aconite.

AT a bank the other day a man saw
teller counting a pile of bills, each one Of
which was upside down. "Why do you
hold them that way2' he asked. so as
to view their left ends rather than their
right ends, he answered. 1T is natural
to hold pile of bills with your left hand
and to turn them back with the right
hand as you count. Counterfeiters know
this, and so they are more careful with
the work at the right hand end Of the

THE EFFECTS OF
THE DRINK HABIT.
Interesting Facts and Conclu-
si0ns Reported by Emil
nent Men.

The New Pork Sun says that at
a meeting of the New York Acad-
eny of Medicine on the 7th of
March the subject of alcohol and
alcoholism was under dlscuesion
aud interesting facts and conclu.
sions were brought out as appears
from report in the Medical Re-
cord.
DR.. Charles L Dana spoke Of
having studied carefully $50 cases
of alcoholism at Bellevue hospital,
of which the most frequent form
was dipsomania and the next
pseudo d'psomania. Over two
thirds of the whole had begun
drinking before the age or 20 yea g
snd all before 30 years. AS q rule
the druukard did not live more
t"an fifteen years after his habit
had become confirmed, and it is
seldom that the human organism
can outlive more than three thou
sand intoxications.
OF the 24,900 patients in Belle
sue hospital last year DR.. Alexan-
der Lambert reported that one
fourth went through the alcoholic
ward, among them being many
who had taken the various "curas. ("
Dr.. Peabody told how he had been
informed that in the so-called
"gold cures', it is the pracsice to
give daily bypodermic injectione
of strychnina and atrophine, a go
luton which is of golden color,
and method of treatment, more.
over, upon which physicians now
generally agree as the chief meas
ure of usefulness. DR.. Allen Starr,
for his part, did not hesitate to
"confesa that the only reformed
drunkards of WHOM he had knowl-
edge, were those who had been
saved not through medical, but
through religious influence"
DR.. Kropf approved of moral
suasion, arguments and hypnotic
suggestion" as the treatment of
inebriates. He said, moreover, in
speaking of the prevalent opinion
among the laity and even among
some physicians, that alcohol is q
most importaot agent in the treat
ment of consumption, that "if al
cohol were given in quantities
sufficient to control the tempera-
ture it would convert the phthiei.
