Alcohol VS.. Lonq Life.

It is very easy to prove that the in
fluence of alcohol, as of every other
poison, is to shorten life. Dr. Willard
Parker of New York, shows from sta
tistics that for every ten temperate
persons who die between the ages OF
twenty-one and thirty fifty-one intern
perate persons die. Thus it appears
that the mortality of liquor users is
five hundred per cent greater than
that of temperate persons. These ng-
ures are based on the tables used
by life insurance companies.
Notwithstanding the constant pro-
test of both moderate and immoderate
drinkers, that alcohol does not harm
them, that it is necessary stimulus,
a preventive of fevers, colds, consump-
tion. etc. and the assertion of certain
chemists that it is a conservative
agent, preventing waste, and so pro-
longing life, the distinguished Engllsn
actuary, Mr.. Nelson, has shown from
statistical data which cannot be gain
said, that while the temperate man
has at twenty years of age an aver
age chnuce Of living forty-four and
one-fifth years, the drinking man has
a prospect of only fifteen and one-halr
years of life. At thirty years OF age
the temperate man may expect thirty
six and one-half years more OF lfe'
while the dram-drinker will be pretty
certain to die in less than fourteen
years.
On the other hand, the Rechabite
societies in England show statistics
clearly indicating that total abstinence
is in the highest degree conducive v"
longevity.

A Convincinu Test.

In the Far East the Japanese have
won victories which have astonishet
the world. They show themselves to
be more enduring, more resistant tC
the effects of wounds, keener witted
sharper in tactics, and quicker in exc
cution than their Russian antagonists
The Jap is content with simple diet
of rice, peas, or beans, which is quick
ly digested and converted into Drawn
and brains, while the Russian must
have his meat and his vodka.
The same dietary, the same simple
ity and naturalness in habits OF life,
which give toughness of fiber and en-
durance and immunity against lnfec-
ton, afford equal advantages in Tight
ing the battle of life in any direction.
The brain worker who wants to keep
his mental vision clear and desires
power to pursue his subject with I'M
ceasing energy, must keep his blood
clean by pure, simple, natural diet.
The lawyer the clergyman, the bust
ness man, the teacher, the investiga-
tor the inventor, will find the same
advantages in living in harmony with
natural principles as does the plucky
Japanese soldier, who is, for the first
time, testing his metal by great con-
test with an army of civilized men.

RECIPES.

savory Soup-Cook half pint OF
small navy or soup beans in three
hints of water for two hours, adding
boiling water as needed. In a sepa'
rate kettle place two small parsnips
scraped and sliced, one good sized
onion cut fine, two stalks Of celery
and half a can of tomatoes. Cover
we'll with boiling water and cook
until the vegetables are very tender;
then add the beans and press all
through a fine colander or soup-strain'
er. Return to the stove, simmer a
moment, and just before serving. stir
in slowly cupful Of hot cream or
rich milk. A can of sweet corn may
be substituted for the beans. AS 1t
takes less time, and may be put in
with the other vegetables, it is some
times preferred by the housewife who
is her own cook.
Nut Cheese.-Tale one cup of raw
peanut butter, one-half cup Of corn
starch, one cup of tomato juice, and
one teaspoonful of salt. Dissolve the
nut butter and cornstarch in the to.
mato Juice; add salt, and beat for
five minutes. Pour into granite

Effects of Alcohol Upon Digestion.

-
Prof. Kochlakoff Of st. Petersburg
has experimented upon five healthy
persons, aged from twenty-one to TWEEN
ty.four years, with reference to the
effects OF alcohol upon digestion. Ten
minutes before each meal, each person
was given about three ounces of alco'
holic liquor, containing from five to
fifty per cent of alcohol, which is
about the proportion found in ordinary
liquors. The following results were
obtained:
Under the influence of alcohol the
quantity of hydrochloric acid, as well
as the digestive power of the gastric
Juice, is diminished. This enfeebling
of the digestion is especially marked
in persons unaccustomed to the use OF
alcohol"
DR.. Figg of Edinburgh made the fol-
lowing experiments to test the infiu-
ence of alcohol upon digestion: He
fed two dogs equal quantities of roast
mutton. He then administered to one
dog. by passing a tube into the stom-
ach. one and one-fourth ounces of
alcohol. After five hours both dogs
were killed and examined. The one
which had taken no alcohol was found
to have digested the meat entirely,
whereas digestion had scarcely begun
in the animal to which alcohol had
been administered.

! Ellis Island Model Port !
Especial Correspondence

| William Williams, by common ad-
mission about the most efficient COM
missioner of immigration the port of
New York has ever known, the man
who found Ellis island disorganized
public institution, where immigrants
were poorly fed and roughly handled,
and who transformed what at that
time was about the ugliest property in
all New York into one of the most
beautiful, has relinquished his posi-
ton.
Mr.. Williams had not been on Ellis
island twenty-four hours before he
posted notices everywhere that imml-
grants were to be treated with all
kindness and consideration. These lit
tie white sheets of paper were called
notices, but they were, in fact, orders,
and every man and woman employed
| on Ellis island was made to under
stand that to disregard them in the
slightest particular meant the offend
ers instant dismissal. From that day
to this the immigrant who lands on
Ellis island has been treated as hui
man being.
The main structure at Ellis island
Is beautiful building. 1t had to be
kept clean, even if it had to be swept
and disinfected hundred times day,
for that was the Williams way of do
ing things. 1t was not an easy job to
keep such tremendous establishment
clean, but it was done. Outside the
grounds were cleared of great masses
of debris that for months had made
them so hideous to view. Hedges were
planted and the ground titled and
grass seed sown. A landscape garden
err took charge, and to-day one OF the
beautiful sights that greets the new
al rival as his ship steams slowly up
New York bay is the flower gardens OF
the United States immigration station.
The great accomplishment of Mr..
Williams, however, is the removal OF
bad influences from Ellis island. To
do this charges were promptly formu-
lated against all officials whose con-
duct had not been up to the standard
of the service as promulgated by Mr..
Williams, and the dismissal of these
people quickly followed. The sharks
and the thieves outside the barge Of
flee entrance on Whitehall street were
cornered, and when they learned the
evidence that the new commissioner
had up his sleeve they lost no time

not counting other crops, which
would have to be neglected, it would
cost more than the berries would
bring, and so much of the spring plant
ing must be plowed under. Now, let

Starch is free from all injurious chem

Protecting the Newly Landed.

The missionary problem was one of
the most delicate handled by Mr.. Will
Jams, but ne did his work without
gloves and won every fight. He drew
sharp distinction between the true
missionary who sincerely desired to
help the unfortunates who come to
our shores, and those who, under the
guise of charity, were really on the
island from instincts that were purely
commercial.
These commercial missionaries Mr..
williams caught before they realized
what was coming. One of them, the
head of one of the most prominent Of
the church immigrant organizations,
got his walking papers in letter in
which the commissioner declared the
policy that he has since followed in
such cases. The agent of another
home was also debarred, and a great
prelate in New York was asked to
give his assistance in eradicating evils
existing in the management of an in
stitution operated under the auspices
of his denomination. To-day there are
no fake missionaries on Ellis island
Early in his commissionership Mr..
Williams began study of the way in
which the steamship companies did
business on the other side. He learned
that in many instances the medical
examination of immigrants to ascer-
tain their physical ability to pass the
American law was lax indeed, and
that the moral requirements. of the law
received in hundreds Of instances only
scant consideration.
