Demonstration Too Effective.

Two maiden sisters of mature years
had been to temperance lecture. To
demonstrate the disastrous effect of
alcohol upon life, the lecturer had
poured portion of whisky into glass
which contained water and mass
of lively animalculae of different un-
slightly shapes and sizes. The xesult
of the mixture was that the shoals
Of ugly looking fishes were soon be-
reft of life and were seen floating
helplessly in the water.
On the way home, when nearing a
saloon one sister remarked to the
other:
Mary. will you go in and get some
whisky?"
Some whisky!" astonishingly ro.
marked the other.
Yes, dear, for I really can never
again drink water with all those hor-
rible things floating about. would
rather drink them dead than alivs."
