ALCOHOL AS MEDICINE.
Cases in Which It's Use is Not in Any
Way Deleterious.
From Hospital.

FROM Hospital.
In the first place. the idea that stimu-
liant gives strength must no longer be en-
tertained: 1t certainly does not contribute
muscular force or nervous energy. The
action OF alcohol causes a temporary gen.
eral acceleration of the circulation and IN
creased aff1ux of blood to the brain and
viseera. and Of this the physician may take
advantage. Such action may permit the
evolution of energy. but only at the ex-
pense of blood and tissue: the energy itself
is not supplied by the alcohol.
In prescribing alcohol in chronic disease
the first thing Is to take care not to do
harm. Alcohol has no place in the treat
ment Of weakness in childhood. The most
treacherous employment Of st1mulants at
any period Of life is their administration
for the relief Of depression or Of sensa-
tons described as sinking" or Of SUBJ
jective feelings of weakness. even though
such subjective sensations be accompanied
by weakness Of the pulse. Doubtless the
immediate effect Of the administration OF
alcohol under such circumstances is dis
tinct and agreeable, but reaction is newt
able. Disease OF either kidney or liver
may almost be regarded as bar to stinu-
lants. good word, however. is to be said.
according to the experience of DR.. A. Ran
some, for the use of alcohol in phthisis and
tuberculous diseases. In debility. more
over, stimulants properly employed are OF
great value. They should only be taken
at meals. and their beneficial effects are to
be estimated by the increase in the amount
of food which Is taken with their aid. In
selecting q stimulant, then, the criterion Is
not its chemical constitution. but its ef-
feet on the appetite and digestion.
In acute febrile disease stimulants are
now generally given with judgment and in
moderation. Time was. however, when the
treatment OF fever practically resolved It
self into the administration Of brandy, and
this idea has not even yet been entirely up
rooted from the public mind Thus we are
constantly called upon to Withstand the
entreaties of friends who imagine that the
obvious weakness of the patient calls i'm
peratively for stimulants. In acute febrile
disease stimulants should in no case be
given In the early stages. but should be
withheld as long as possible.
When stfmulants promote sleep and d.
minish restlessness and agitation they are
doing good. On the other hand. should
they cause excitement, or sleeplessness, or
increase the frequency Of the pulse, or set
up gastric or intestinal arrangement they
are doing harm. The odor Of the breath
is to some extent guide. In febrile COM
plants the smell of wine or spirits very
quickly disappear from the breath, II IL
fingers. or II the foul after-odor Of the
spirit drinker be recognized, the stirnulant
should be withdrawn or the dose be dimin-
ished.

MORE VISITORS TO LHAsA.
Oriental Travellers Lived a While in
the Forbidden City.

From the New York Sun.
Within the past quarter of century
many European travellers have advanced
on Lhasa from all directions, but none has
succeeded in reaching this chief city of
Tibet and residence of the Dalai Lama, the
alleged incarnation of Buddha. The Sun
has already told of the visits, within re-
cent years, of several Buddhist travellers
TO the sacred city. from whose reports
much has been added to our knowledge Of
that mysterious place. Last year two
other educated men, both Buddhists, and
both trained in science, spent some time In
Lhasa. and 1t is believed that the results OF
their observations will make further addi-
lions to the information already acquired.
About a year ago a Buriat Buddhist
named Zybikov, who had long been a stu
dent in the University OF st. Petersburg.
started for Lhasa with the aid OF the I'm
peral Russian Geological Society. As
Buddhist, he met with no opposition. reach:
ed Lhasa in safety and was permitted to
wander about the city at will. OF course.
the authorities did not know the circum-
stances under which his journey was made,
but they regarded him merely as well-tO-
do Buddhist on a pious pilgrimage to the
holy city. They permitted him to take
away an astonishing amount of material
which he had collected. Among the prizes
great collection OF works written by
turtles. These works are in 319 volumes,
containing 100 eco pages. devoted to an ex-
position of philosophy. astronomy. history
and geography, these branches of SCI
ence are understood by the lamas of Tibet.
This unique oriental library has been pre-
sented to the ASiatic museum at St Peters
burg. where scholars will have an oppor-
tunity to study the volumes. It Is not yet
reported whether he was able to carry out
any Topographic surveys, but 1t Is expected
that he will publish the story Of his
journey.
The second visitor to Lhasa last year was
a Buddhist student from Japan. whose
name has been kept from the newspapers
of India that have been permitted to print
some facts with regard to his visit. He
well received and succeeded in the
main purpose of his visit. which was to
study the differences between the Buddhist
ritual in Lhasa and in Japan. He intends
japanese and English languages.
The routes taken by the travellers have
not been made known. The fact however.
that the Buddhists of Tibet are beginning
to extend hospitality to those Of other coun-
tries who are in close touch with western
civilization is an Indication that it will not
be SO difficult hereafter to obtain tidingS of
what is going in the inner part of Tibet.
1t is not too much to expect also that the
connection formed between these educated
visitors and the people of Lhasa may
gradually result in modifying the antago-
nsm that Is felt in Tibet toward all things
foreign.

knows has been written by Himself. His trust is another brand for the burning consciences of the guilty pair.
 Pete learns how he has been betrayed when Kate, unable longer to remain away from her baby, steals again into his home. He finds her there and wrings from her the confession that breaks his heart-the truth about her betrayal and of the birth of the baby. In this moment, however, he rises above his own passion and in his pure love for her shields the woman who has been so faithless to him.
 He takes his own sublime revenge at the last when he leads the erring wo- man to her father and makes the can't ing Caesar take her in. It is then he learns the full facts, for Philip con- fesses that he is guilty. Pete would kill him except for the interference of Cesar In the end, however, he takes himself away to find new and better life free from deceit and leaves the guilty ones to live out their blasted lives apart. It is fitting climax to a story full of emotion, such as MT. Caine knows how to depict. G. H. T.

lead to the body with the rIsnl is tne most formidable punch in which the right hand figures. In no other blow do so many agencies combinesyto give that desirable quantity, force. a
 The use of the crouch in its verious forms has added considerably to the success of various fighters, and. aside from Jeffries, Terry McGovergi and Young Corbett have found 1t to have certain advantages. McGovern will of tentimes combine the crouch with rush. using his hands and arms, in pis- ton rod fashion, literally carrying op- ponents off their feet. The position in itself is a protection to the body.
 
 Right Cross Counter For Head. The right hand cross counter for the head is used when you have drawn your opponent into leading a straight left to the face by feinting with your left and leaving an apparent opening to lure him on. Judge your distance carefully, and if too far away to reach him step in, driving your. right across his left upper arm and shoulder at the same time inclining your body and turning your head we'll to the left, Your fist will strike your combatant on the left side of the chin, completing a well known knockout. H0uE sPuHcH IS given additional force bX the momen-5 tum of your opponents body as he comes toward you in leading with his: left.
 AS in all other blows, you should bear in mind the position of the hand your opponent has held in reserve. While taking care of his left in the right cross, do not neglect to reach out with your left to his right or guarding hand. checking possible lead. VI ss s,Yf
 Tn case your fellow boxer does not show shiftiness in getting away. from the right hand cross you can draw your hand back to striking position and send a. short arm punch to the body, stepping in with the left foot as the blow is sent over. 5 at a9@E@

The Left Jab to Face.

Another hard blow to evade is the left hand jab to the face, because it is delivered at very close range. It is not particularly dangerous, but it is always more or less disconcerting.
 A left hand jab to the face is snap py blow. The elbow is bent before de- livery, and the hand points at your op- ponent's chin. It gets it's force from the sudden strengthening of the arm as you step in. If you have strong and aggressive man before you, 1t is well to resort to jabbing until you get him into 8 position where you can land heavy blow. Footwork should have its play in jabbing, for oftentimes you will be forced to retreat before the sought for opening presents itself.
 Jabbing always plays prominent part in distance gauging. The left hand jab to the face is usually followed up with the right to the jaw or body, especially if you have forced your op- ponent's head well back. Tn guarding this blow hold yourself well back, in- clining from the waist, throw your right hand across your face, receiving the attacking fist in the palm. which has been opened and turned outward In this way you will force his blow wide, many times leaving you an open ing for the body or face.
 The left hand iab to the body Is not very frequently used, simply because there Is not enough force in 1t to mate

HUDSON AND GATcoMB..

Though Scott Hudson and James Cat. comb will not be racing partners this year, the former will handle the latters great horse, Audubon Boy. 2:03A, as Hudson is the only driver that can get the famous son of ".

 This fact alone proves there is no i'll feeling between the great driver and his former partner and betting commis- sioner, as was recently hinted in sew eral reports of the breaking up of this successful racing firm. v z tsgl

A NEW ENGLISH ACTOR.

A young actor named Henry Ainley is attracting the attention of critical London at present.

Recently in dis mounting from a horse in the final act of If I Were King Alexander had to retire from the stage, and Ainley took his place, playing the role of Villon so well that he is now hailed as England s most promising romantic actor.

A sTool,s Paradise"

Pete returns after an absence of years only to be betrayed by those in whom he had placed his trust. Philip, his friend. in whose care he has left Kate, has been far too attentive to her, and she has become the talk of the village and subject of insult by Philips roistering cousin. Philip has felt safe from his friend because rumors have come of the death of the wanderer in the African goldfelds. All are sur prised by the return of Pete. Kate pleads that Philip shall marry her and face, his friend, but he refuses to atone for his betrayal and forces her as a refuge for her honor to marry his old companion.
 Pete has been living in a fools para disc before he Is seen again. He has showered his love upon his wife and provided her with a fine home and has been made supremely joyful by the ar rival of a baby. With all his attention he cannot make Kate happy. The doc- tor says it is. only because of her young motherhood@and advises that she have bright companions and a change of scene. Pete sets out to meet these needs. He is full of love for Philip and Is the leader in the demonstration that marks his induction into the office of deemster,, or judge of the island He asks Philip to visit and cheer his wife. < Then. to Philip the wife, reveals the

reason of her sorrow. She is living a lie with Pete, and her child does not belong to him. Philip leaves her to hear himself hailed as a great hero. Kate fees. but has not the heart to take away the baby and so deprive Pete of everything. So Pete comes home from his publication to find only the little one left to him. Even then he remains loyal, however, for he tells the scandal mongers who come in that his Kate has merely gone to visit an uncle in Liverpool and that she will positively
