Football Lunacv.

A recent Chicago dispatch TO the Kan
sas City Journal says: Football play
ers. according to Jere Delaney, trainer
Of the Northwestern eleven, are subject
to an ailment similar to softening Of
the brain, which leads not only to the
making Of peculiar statements. but
causes strange actions which sometimes
are amusing. The exact cause Of the
trouble. Trainer Delaney said, he is
unable to fathom. He declared. how
ever, that it results more from the long
continued physical and nervous strain
to which the men are subjected during
the three months Of rigid training which
they are forced to undergo than from
the blows. kicks and bumps they re-
ceive on their skulls during games. 1T
is known" said Delaney. that every
player OF the game fights his games
over again in his dreams, but only by
the men who are in close touch with
the players It Is recognized that they are
given to constant dreaming during
which they make strange motions, as
If struggling with an imaginary op-
ponent" According to Delaney. the
athletes are given to almost childish
methods Of play when at rest An in
stance related by the trainer was Of
man who during more than an hour
pored over a map Of the United States,
drawing lines with his index finger and
imagining he was travelling over the
country which his fingers crossed.

wives and Crime

Somebody who has been canvassine
a western prison reports that 90 per
cent. of the inmates attribute the
crimes which led to their Imprisonment
to the extravaganza Of their wives. Fid-
dlesticksl righteously exclaims the

probable story was never imagined. and
it must have been a sanguinary sort
Of a person thus imposed upon In
the first place. II may be doubted that
90 per cent of the inmates Of the aver
age prison are married; but IL they are,
it isn't at all likely that more than
two or three out OF 100 are the vic
Tins of a wifes extravaganza. Man
is too fond of attributing his mis-
fortunes TO some one else-his wife. II
need be. He is ashamed to confess
himself a fool. but has no hesitation in
deliberately advertising himself liar.
II a searching and honest investigation
could be made of the circumstances
which lead men to commit crimes on ac-
count Of women we think IL would estab-
lish the fact that il was some other
woman who was to blame rather than
the wife. and in spite Of her The man
who respects women and cleayes unto
his wife is in little danger Of the peni-
tentiary.

CAUSED THE WRECK?
The Engineer Was Sleepy from Alec
hol, Which Is the Base Of
Anaesthetics.

In conversation with a railroad en-
gineer whom | was treating for alco-
hollsm recently, | asked him the above
question, referring to a horrible wreck
which occurred not long since on one
Of our western roads.
Whisky" he answered laconically
do you mean to say that the engi-
neer or conductor. or both Of them,
were drunk?" | asked.
We'll, not just what you call drunk,
perhaps, but dull, sleepy, stupid. They
failed to read and understand their
orders, OF forgot them. You know,
doctor" he added, that a man who is
addicted to drink is never in his nor
mally abnormal condition unless he
has a few drinks, and even then he
does not see good and forgets readily"
This man had discovered practically
what Prof Krepelin, of Heidelberg, has
so fully demonstrated experimentally,
to-wit, that even a very small guam
tity Of liquor renders the vision less
acute and duls the memory.
| believe this effect TO be due 20 the
anaesthetic action Of alcohol. which
paralyzes the faculty Of attention,
which is such an indispensable pre-
requisite to good memory.
That alcohol is an anaesthetic there
can be no reasonable doubt, in view OF
the fact that # is the base of the prin-
cipal anaesthetics and the greatest OF
all hypnotics.
When alcohol Is acted upon by chic
ride Of lime. chloroform results. When
alcohol Is acted upon by sulphuric acid
sulphuric ether results. When alcohol
is acted upon by chlorine chl0ral re
suits. Now, as none of these three
agents possesses any anaesthetic prop
critics. either singly or combined. and
each produces an anaesthetc when
combined with alcohol. the conclusion
is inevltable.-T. J. Savage, VI. D., IN

A TEMPERANCE CRUSADE.
How a Remarkable Movement Was
Started IN Ceylon-Its
Growth.

A correspondent, who has just re.
turned from Ceylon, writes TO the
Christian World about a very remark
able temperance movement in that Is.
land. 1t had a singular beginning A
wealthy Sinhalese and some Of his
friends we're having a joyial time In
a tavern over their arrack. A dispute
arose with the tavern keeper and the
whole company determined never to
touch arrack again. They founded a
society which practically all the men
Of their village Joined. The news OF
this movement was published IA the
yernacular press, with the result that
the idea was taken up rapidly in all
the towns and most Of the villages Of
South Ceylon. Largely attended meet
ings have been held. and, after
speeches denounclng the liquor traf-
ic, pledges are signed. Well-organized
professions go through the villages
singing temperance songs which rouse
great enthusiasm. The movement is
distinctly a Buddhist movement, and
the appeal is made 10 the doctrines OF
Buddha, though Christian missionaries
are sometimes asked to speak. Those
who break their pledges are Vigorously
dealt with. In Ceylon the liquor traf-
fic Is a government monopoly, and
though Buddhists, the missionary So
cieties and planters associations have
many times petitloned against the IL
quor trade being encouraged, II has
extended at an appalling rate during
recent years. This new movement has
greatly checked it; the taverns becom-
ing deserted, and the liquor sellers,
who rent from the government, taking
a hint from their fraternity In this
country, are already appealing for
Compensation. Alliance News.
