Sea Voyages For Inebriety.

At the last meeting of the Society for
the Study of Inebrety, DR.. Wynn West
colt read a paper in which he gave eX'
preston to certain views in regard to the
use of sea voyages in the trea atment of in
ebriety which should be carefully consld.
cred by all physicians who may, feel in
clined as no doubt many do at times feel
inclined to advise a reformed drlnker to
take a sea voyage as means OF establish
ing his health before returning again to
his ordinary mode of life.
Dr. Wynn Westcott said that he had
formed decided opinion on the subject.
The sort of cases which would be likely to
be sent would be those in which 1t was de-
sirable to re-establsh the general health,
and it was to be remembered that under
the most favorable circumstances life at
sea was not all rest and comfort, and tha5
the nursing, dieting and quietude which
were essential for patients with perhaps
fatty heart or liver, were very seldom to
be obtained Few cases, indeed. of ad-
vanced disease OF any kind seemed to him
suitable for sea life, even at its best.
There was no doubt. moreover, that the
dulness and monotony of the life. and
other causes, tended to produce thlrstl-
ness. Often a good deal was drunk just
before reaching the home port In conse'
ouence of the people on board being III
disturbed, excited state. and again, the pc.
riod of nervous irritability. depression and
praecordial distress to which the dlpso-
maniac was subject were likely to be more
frequent on board ship than ashore.
Therefore if dipsomaniac really wanted
to get well, he should be discouraged
from taking a sea voyage. The ideal ship
for patient who wished to travel in this
manner would be a sailing ship. which
was commissioned on teetotal principles;
with a teetotal capta.. and crew, and
which touched at scarcely single port en-
route. Such a ship, however, would be
generally difficult to find. In any case;
no reformed drunkard should be trusted
on sea voyage alone.-The Hospital

Production of Idiots.

When we are brought face to face with
an undesirable feature the problem of its
removal is simplified if we know its cause.
Idiocy and imbecility should certainly be
eliminated from human society If possible;
it therefore is important to hear what DR.;
Robinovitch says in the Journal of Mental
Pathology.
If acute contagious and infectious dis
eases during childhood leave the child an
idiot or an imbecile, that child's heredity
must be we'll scrutinized. as the latter Is
most certainly the underlying cause. Al
coholism of the parents is the major cause
responsible for the birth of idiot and imbe-
cile children. Alcoholism not only causes
idiocy and imbecility of the offspring, but
also acts as strong factor in reducing
birth rate and increasing death rate
Children of alcoholic parents, if not idiots
or imbeciles, are apt to be Invalid IN many
other ways. and are prone to die i'll infancy
of meningitis.
1t should be borne in mind that the
above are not the historical statements Of
uneducated fanatics, but the result OF
clinic observation and experiment on a
number of cases. .,

The American life-saving service
conducted under the auspices of the
treasury department, proved its effi'
cheney once more while the recent gale
was raging upon the Jersey coast
many men were rescued from the sea
while the storm was at it's height In
one case a peculiar condition delayed
the rescue of the crew of large craft
When the distress signals were dis
played and the life-savers got to work
a line was fired over the wreck at the
first shot. But the men on board coulc
not see it for the darkness and the
binding lashing OF the sea. Four lines
were sent over before the connection
with the shore was completed. This
experience seems to teach the value OF
some form of phosphorescent line
which shall be visible at all hours and
under all circumstances, observes the
Washington Star.

A Boston woman has made herself
very popular with her Pittsburg friends
because when addressing envelopes she
insists upon spelling Pittsburg with
the "h" Since the development OF
the patriotic movement, which has re.
suited in the formation of so many
patriotic societies, Pittsburgers have
come to take great pride in the historic
Importance of their city and urge the
universal use of the final "h" in SPELL
ing the name of that city. In the old
days of American history this formed
q part of the name of Pittsburg, be-
cause of the existence at that time Of
the famous Fort Pitt, which. by the
way, is unique among ancient fortifi-
cations, as it is built of Flemish brick.
The national government in official
uauers seems as yet to have no sym
pathy with Pittsburg's desire to return
to the old spelling, but strong influence

According to Russian journals there

the death rate is so high and the aver

country is but 80 years. "The mortal

At n Disadvantage.

1t is an old story that there is less In
toxication in all grades of society than for
merly: that it is recognized that the man
who drinks to excess is at disadvantage
that men generally use more discretion in
drinking, so that while more drink may
be consumed than formerly. the individual
average of consumption is far less.

English art critics are wrought up
just now over the question of finger.
1t grows out of the statue erected iD
Manchester to Gladstone, in which he
is represented in the attitude of de
livering a speech in 1893, clutching a

Gladstone had the misfortune to lose
the forefinger of his left hand in a
shooting accident; but the sculptor re-
stored the finger in the statue. The
question which seems now to be Great

OF Paris have lately passed resolution
to the effect that to differentiate be-

implies a condition of servitude, and
they will have it no longer. No men,
ber of the society, be she ten years old
or a hundred, married, single or
widowed, will henceforth answer to
any appellation save that of madame. "
No such differentiation is made in the
other sex, say they. A male, whatever
his age, is always monsieur" Why,

females except to imply condition of
