THE PARAMOUNT QUESTION.
Glasses But One Pertaining to
Public Health and Morals.

In his address before the American
Medical Temperance association, DIR.
N. S. Davis, NJ. D., LII. D., of Chicago,
president of the association, said:
The paramount question before
the intelligent men and women OF
Christendom to-day is not one of poll
tics or of political parties or of social
classes; but one solely pertaining to
public health and morals.
1T is whether alcohol and other
well-known narcotic drugs are really
wholesome articles of drink or food,
safe for general use; or are they alb
Solutely subtle, deceptive and dan
gerous poisons, stealthily destroying
both public health and morals, and
constantly multiplying hereditary de-
generates in all classes of human So
ciety? If the former, they are en-
titled to the same treatment as other
articles of commerce and general use.
If the latter, then their regulation be-
longs exclusively to the police and
sanitary authorities aided by the
courts. They cannot be both. That

distilled liquors, is a positive proto-
plasmic poison, directly impairing
every natural structure and function
of the living body in proportion to
the quantity used, and the length of
time its use is continued is proved
by the results of every experimental
investigation concerning it, instituted
by eminent scientific men, both in
this country and Europe.
and their verdict is abundantly
confirmed by the history and condi-
ton of the inmates of every asylum
for the poor, the Predetermined, the
epileptics, the insane and the inebri-
'ates; those of every reformatory and
prison; and by the records of every
police and criminal court; and by the
details of every well-kept registry of
vital statistics. AS concerns danger
to human life, every intelligent read
oer of the public press knows that the
ordinary use of alcoholic liquors by
persons claiming to be in health, is
the direct cause of more suicides,
homicides and murders every month
than is produced by all the other poi
sons known to PSYCHOLOGISTS in a
year. Then why not now, at the be-
ginning of this twentieth century of
the Christian era, cease calling al
Dcoholic liquors stimulants or restora-
tives, and not only speak of them as
subtle and dangerous poisons in every
household, but also concentrate all
the facts known of science, clinical
experience and of economic and Grim
inal records, in favor of having alco-
hol and all liquids containing two
per cent. or more of it, placed on the
statutes of the several states along
with arsenic, strychnine, etc, to be
sold and used under the same regula
tions and penalties as other poisons
dangerous to the public health and
morals? If this were accomplished it
would soon remove one of the chief
scorrupting influences from the gen
'eral field of politics, and place it I'M
der the domain of the police and
health authorities, aided by the
courts, where it legitimately be-
longs. And it would do more to pre-
vent tuberculosis and all forms of hui
man degeneracy than all the other
measures combined"

Warning Against PoisOns.

An editorial pen in a secular paper
devotes quarter of a column of words
to the danger of the rhus toXicoden-
dron, commonly known as poison ivy.
'Only the other day." says the editor,
NEARLY a whole regiment of New
York militia, while in state camp, were
rendered almost helpless by coming in
contact with the noXious rhus." Very
often this poisoning leads to gravest
consequences, affecting sight and hear
ing and accompanied by most painful
inflammation and eruption. This dam
gerous plants resemblance to the
beautiful Virginia creeper deceives
the careless and ignorant. "Consider-
ing its virulence as distributor of
poison" says the editor, "the indiffer-
ence toward its rapid growth and
spread is amazing" Yes, by all
means, o, ye public benefactors, exter-
inmate the poison ivy. But, while thus
employed, forget not that other poi
son, whose name is alcohol. The rhus
toxicodendron may have rendered al
mosS helpless" its thousands; alcohol
has slain unnumbered hosts. Mani
testify, the poison ivy is not to be regu-
lated! determination, root and
branch, is the word. Yea, verilyl-

complete wreck, the whole top of it
being smashed to pieces as the result
Of an encounter between two negroes
who fell to butting each other. One
of them was young while the other
was old. The old mans head was
crushed in, killing him, the Uranium
being much thinner in old age than in
youth, the bone wasting gradually,
like the rest of the body. The same
thing is true of all the bones. There
are some Peruvian skulls in the
museum obtained from ancient num-
mics, which show signs of trepanning
during lie and of subsequent recov-
cry. These are of extraordinary in
terest, because it is thus known that
a race which spread all over Europe in
the prehistoric age of polished stone
practiced such trepanning extensively.
An object of historic Importance is
the fourth vertebra of the British
general, Braddock. Eight vertebra,
belonging to an unknown individual,
are also shown strung on tree root
which grew through them, following
the canal formerly occupied by the
spinal cord. This odd freak recalls the
experience of a gentleman who plant
ed young apple tree at the foot of his

New Kind of Rat

The immense number of bananas
which have been sent into this coun-
try during recent years have been
the means of introducing several
different new kinds of flies, spiders
and beetles, which have been mad
vertently packed with them. The
most formidable creature that comes
over in banana cases is a new kind
of rat. 1t is smaller than the or
binary sort, quite black in color,
with round ears, and head shaped
somewhat like that of bat. The
little animal has a somewhat attrac-
tive appearance, and, in the early
days of the banana trade, the sales
men were inclined to be kind to one
of these rats if it was caught, and
make pet of it.

Boy Attacked by EagIe.

Two eaglets were taken from a
nest in tree at Funtley, ILL.,, by Har-
ry Burns, a 15-year-old boy. He was
attacked by the old eagle as he was
descending, and the bird made a de-
termined fight to recover her pets.
The boy resisted -iolently, and sue
ceeded in reaching the ground, where
h was almost overcome by the eagle,
when some farm hands drove of the
bird with the aid of pitchforks. The
lads face was badly lacerated, and
he was sent to Chicago for treat

An effort is to be made to remove a
large red oak tree from the widest
section of Arkansas to Forest park,
st. Louis, for the Louisiana Purchase
exposition. The tree is 100 feet high
and IL feet in diameter at the base.
A double tramway will be built from
the tree to the river, where it viii be
floated and towed to ST. Louis. 1t is
estimated that this will occupy six
months. The tree will be dug up by
the roots instead of being cut down,
and none of its branches will be
trimmed.-Indianapo News.

mer, when the brother-in-law fired
and wounded him, after which he was
taken prisoner and hurried to the jail.
This is the story told in the plainest
possible language, without an adjec-
tive or an adverb, the bare, naked
facts. The strange thing about it is
that the American people know that
the saloon produces this sort OF
thing, have known it for years, and
keep the saloon right straight on, as if
they wanted these things done.-New

The King and the Peaaa

Here is little story about the young
king of Italy which is being printed in
the Italian papers. and which is worth
reproducing. The king was staying
IN the country at his place in Raccor-
rigi. He is little known to the people
there. for in his walks about the neigh
borhood he always strives to preserve
his incognito. Hence come some curl
Gus adventures. One day. while out
tramping, he got very thirsty, and see
ing a woman milking a COW in field
near by, he went up TO her and asked
her for a glass of milk.
Il can't give you any of this" said
the woman but if you'll mind the COW
I'll 90 to the house and get you some"
So the king minded the COW till the
woman returned with glass of cool
milk. Then he asked her where all the
farm hands had gone.
