DANGERS OF ALCOHOL
Leafiet to All His Patients Warns
ing against Alcohol.

AT the meeting of the Paris Hospital
Medical society. NJ. Legendre, alarmed
by the ever-increasing amount of
drunkenness. asked if it would not be
possible TO withstand this by means of.
meetings. insistence on the dangers of
alcohol. and by what he considered an
even better method, that of getting up
for the instruction of patients lantern
shows with exhibitions of anatomic
preparations to show the dangers of
alcohol. NJ. Legendre has had printed
for the use of all his patients little
leafet, the text of which runs as fol-
lows:
Most of the diseases treated in the
hospitals arise from alcoholic drinks
or aggravated by the use of alcohol. All
alcoholic drinks are dangerous. and the
most harmful are those which contain
aromatics in addition to ALCOHOLICS,
for instance. absinthe and the so-called
aperients. called ainers.
Alcoholic drinks are more dangerous
when taken on an empty stomach or
between meals. A man necessarily be-
comes alcoholic. e.: slowly poisoned
by alcohol-evenifhe never gets drunk.
when every day he drinks alcohol in the
form of liquor or too much wine, more
than one liter per diem.
Alcohol is a poison the habitual use
of which destroys more or less quickly,
but none the less certainly, all the or
gGns most necessary TO life-the stom-
ach, the liver. the kidneys. the blood
vessels, the heart, and the brain. AL
cohol eXcites man, but does not
strengthen him. 1t is no substitute for
food, but takes away the taste for it.
Those who often drink alcohol or too
much wine (more than one liter day.
are much more liable to illness. and
when i'll are much worse. for the disease
is often complicated with fatal de-
lirium.
Alcohol is a frequent cause of con-
sumption by its power of weakening
the lungs. Every year we see patients
who attend the hospitals for alcoholism
come back some months later suffering
from consumption. Fathers and moth
ers who drink often have children who
are deformed or idiots or who die from
fts.-LoEdon Lancet.

A JUDGE ON LIQUOR.
In His Charge to the Jury He Urges
Total Abstinence During Term
of Service

In opening the superior court in Char
lotte, the other day, the presiding
judge said, in his charge to the jury:
Gentlemen of the Jury, if any of
you are in the habit of drinking intoxi-
eating liquors, | hope you will desist
from the habit this week. A man is
not fit for the discharge of any duty
when he is under the influence of whis-
ky. 1t is not only a contempt of court,
but it is a misdemeanor for Juror to
become intoxicated. | wish, also. to
impress the fact on the minds, of the
suitors, the witnesses and the officers OF
the court. that you cannot properly dis
charge your duty when under the infiu-
ence of liquor"
Undoubtedly this testimony is true.
Whisky does incapacitate men for bust
ness. No one wants to trade with an
intoxicated merchant, or intrust his
interests to an intoxicated lawyer or
have an intoxicated physician prescribe
for him. or an intoxicated jury decide
a case in court. Yet men will drink it g.,
and many who do not drink will vote
for it and keep the evil in the reach Of
those who are addicted to the habit.
We do not see how such persons can
hope to justify their conduct in the
sight of God. when they help to keep a
stumbling-block or an occasion to fall
in their brothers way-Our Young

DR.. Moore asked the young man as
to his identity. but a shake of the
head was his only response.
DR.. Moore then suggested to his
caller that he go to police court and
ask to be sentenced to the workhouse
on Blackwell's island, to which he
readily consented. DR.. Moore accom-
panied him to court, and Magistrate
Olmsted sentenced him to six months

Liquor for South Africa,

A British steamer recently carried
1000 tons Of spirits from Hamburg for
South Africa. Speaking of this ship
ment, New Africa says: THE liquor
traffic is curse. 1t is an appalling sin
the degradation of Africa. 1t is no
eXaggeration to say that there exists
no greater enemy to Africa and her
peoples than this debasing and deterior-
ating evil. There is no greater obs acle
to the progress of civilization in Africa
than the increasing importation of
spirituous liquors. 1t is spreading
greater desolation and ruin than any
other evil, and is worse than African
superstition and barbarism. Thou
sands are daily sinking to depths OF
sin and shame by this yirulent poison,
which unprincipled merchants are con
stantly importing in enormous quanti-
ties to destroy manhood and arrest the
development of the continent"

Says Breweries Don,t pay.

Henry Hagemeisier treasurer of the
Wisconsin Brewers association, says
beer drinking is on the decrease in the
Badger state. The days of fortune max
ing in breweries has passed, and sew
eral large establishments now fail to
return their fair percentage on the
money invested. This condition has been
brought about in large measure by in
creased consumption in homes. 'When
people drink beer at home" says Mr.
Hagemeister, they are satisfied when
thirst is appraised. In saloons the social
or treating feature makes them drink
great deal more. The result to the
brewer can be easily understood"

JUDGED BY THEMSELVES.

When congress, to safeguard Ameri-
can and Cuban interests against Euro
pean meddling and Cuban incapacity,
enacted the Platt law, certain Ameri-
cans were violently indignant, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean, They de-
elared the Cnbans perfectly competent
TO manage their own affairs without
our assistance, and denounced the nd
ministration for extending over Cuba
the shield Of American protection,
Upon this argument and these de-
nnnciations the proceeding OF the
Cuban convention on Tuesday OF last
week furnish an interesting common
tary. A resolution was offered pro.
,iding that all persons holding posi-
tions under the present government
and intending to become candidates
at the coming elections should resign
such positions at least a month before
the elections. The resolution was re-
iectcd. Why?
Mr.. Llorente, one of the otfice-huld-
ing members OF the convention, was
quite frank In saying why. He
thought the mass Of the people were
quite incapable OF choosing rightly
who should govern them, as they were
ignorant and uncontrolled. And for
this reason tho convention, whose
members only few months ago were
'denouncing the platt law as an '.in-
suit To Cuban capacity for self-govern-
ment," rejected resolution which
would have compelled them to trust
10 that capacity for their own contin-
,lanee In power.
Such is the Judgment upon Cuban
competence To manage popular gov
eminent nnassisted by the United
states expressed not by critical Amer
leans but by the chosen representa-
lives OF the Cubans themselves.
When asked to relinquish oilicia! posi-
lions by aid OF whose influence they
iorc To become leading figures in the
rev government, they refuse To trust
their countrymen to that extent.
While the majority of the American
PEOPLE will doubtless think better of
