EFFECT OF ALCOHOL ON
THE SPECIAL SENSES.
The oppenheimer Institute Has Es.
tablished Bureau of Original
Research For Conducting
Scientific Investigation.

A series of interesting experiments
conducted at the Oppenheimer Clinic
for the treatment of alcoholism in New
York city. When patients present
themselves for treatment a thorough
physical examination is made of the
special senses for the purpose of not
ing the effect caused by the excessive
use of alcohol and also to determine
how nearly normal condition can be
restored by means of the Oppenheimer
Treatment
The investigation into these cases of
alcoholism is along the lines Of original
research followed by the leading sci
entists of the day when dealing with
scientific questions. This series of in
yestigations has to do especially with
the pathology of the drink habit and
its effect upon the special senses and
organs Of the human body, particularly
the senses of sight and of hearing, the
heart, the lungs, the motor refiexes and
the muscular power of certain portions
of the body. 1t is a we'll known fact
that with many alcoholics all the spe-
cial senses become badly impaired.
These symptoms produced by excess
i've drinking are carefully watched and
tabulated from day to day while the
patient is under treatment, and the eff
| feet of the Oppenheimer remedies in
ameliorating or entirely removing the
consequences of alcoholism as well as
the disease itself noted. Conclusive re-
suits have already been obtained in
cases where albumen or sugar was
found in the secretion of the kidneys,
due to the inordinate use of alcoholic
stimulants. In 96 per cent of such
cases all trace of albumen or sugar
disappeared, and the patient was soon
restored to a normal state of health.
Equally interesting results are now be-
ing obtained along these lines of inves-
tigation although the tabulated results
are not yet ready for publication.
These Investigations should prove of
the greatest value not alone to the
medical profession as a whole, but also
to the patient himself, who, while he is
freed of the craving for liquor, may
still suffer in some particular organic
or other trouble that may have been
produced by this indulgence in alcohol
Alcoholism has for only the last few
years been recognized by the medical
profession as a disease and is not yet
thoroughly understood The Open
heimer Institute established for the
treatment of alcoholism is the most
advanced in this line of work and will
welcome the cooperation Of others in
terested.

A Deadenine Habit.

A fault finding, criticising habit is
fatal to all excellence. Nothing will
strange growth quicker than a tenden-
cy to hunt for flaws, to rejoice in the
unloyely, like hog which always has
his nose in the mud and rarely looks
up. The direction in which we look in
dicates the life aim, and people who are
always looking for something to crit
lcise, for the crooked and the ugly,
who are always suspicious, who in
variably look at the worst side of 9th
ers, are but giving the world a picture
Of themselves.
This disposition. to see the worst In
stead of the best grows on one very
rapidly until it ultimately strangles all
that is beautiful and brushes out all
that is good in himself. No matter
how many times your confidence has
been betrayed, do not allow yourself
TO sour, do not lose your faith in peo-
pie. The bad are the exceptions Most
people are honest and true and mean
to do what is right.-O. 8. Marden in
Success Magazine.

women folk were treated almost as ci-
piers. Mr.. John Selwyn, man of at
fairs to be reckoned WITH we'll dressed,
well hammered, polished In speech,
went to his offices every morning In
the afternoons he drove out with his son
and his sons nurse In his sons landau
behind his sons magnificent horses
From the moment of her child's birth
Greta had felt a tenderness toward
John-the tenderness of wife who
has borne a man a son. Now she was
beginning to feel other things She
smiled as she remembered her irrita-
ton at his social derelictions, his old
time lack of etiquette which had seem
ed to her a hopeless stumbling block
in the way Of mutual happiness But

deficiencies, which obviously be had

what is it?'' he asked generously.
Her short upper lip trembled, and with
out warning she burst into tears.
IL want you to love me again."
she sobbed.
Love you? AS the woman who
bears my name, as the mother of my
son-why, could scarcely help but do
that"
mo, noi' she cried. as one who really
suffers. Il don't mean that way. 1
want you to love me as you used to.
I'm just longing to have you come and
kiss me-when you don't have to, you
know"
He stood precisely where he was,
gauging the sobbing little figure for a
long. long while in utter silence. First
he measured her severely, then ques-
tioningly. Last of all, sudden soft
ness stole over him and swept him of
his feet.
Without word, but with eyes that
were wet, he crossed the room and
took her protectingly in bis big arms.
Just then the nurse fetched their small
son in, growing with delight.

A man with the toothache doesn't
care about anything else. The glories
of the world pail on his taste, the won
ders Of creation seem as naught.
The tooth becomes a volcano OF
belching fury and the rest of life hid
den in cloud Of its billowing smoke.
You can't borrow anything from a
man with the toothache You can't in
struct and improve him. You tell him
that the world travels at the rate Of
1000 miles minute and 1t doesn't
startle him in the least. He simply
groans.
You say to him, my friend, there
are stars so far off that their light has
not yet reached this world" but he
doesn't mind it. He only bowls.
You tell him that some Of the sun
spots are 100000 miles in diameter.
and that one of them would take a
Jupiter at one mouthful, but it is moth
ing to him. The toothache is neglect
full Of scientific truths.-London Tit

AN IRISH TYPE.
The Placid, Well Born Girl of the
Little Green Isle.

The Placid, Well Born Girl of the
Little Green Isle.
1.-THE Irishwomen never worry" said
a woman who has mixed much in the
upper circles of the little green isle;
therefore they preserve their youth
better than. the women Of any other ma
ton. A peculiar type of personality
has been left in Ireland. England and
America have drained off the progress
I've and hustling-England from the
upper classes, America from the lower
Those who are left are of placid,
contented type, from whom the rest
lessness of present day civilization
seems far removed. The dizziness of
the life led by the average well born
Irish girl would be pathetic If 1t were
not that she seems to thrive SO well on
it. Year after year she follows the
same monotonous round, meeting the
same people at tennis In summer or
hockey matches in winter. If her home
is In a hunting district, no matter at
how low an ebb the family finances may
be, they will manage to give her a
good mount, but for the girls who do
not hunt the long, wet winter, with
few neighbors and few books, passes
almost as drearily as In medieval
castle."'-New York Tribune.

A Ministerial Doubt.

The new pastor of the country church
was an eminently practical man as
well as good Christian, and on the
occasion of his first sermon he pro-
ceeded at Its close to test the practical
Christianity of his hearers.
81 should like to know" he said,
glancing over the congregation, ''how
many women In this assembly have not
spoken harsh word to their husbands
during the past four weeks
There was stir among the auditors,
but no other indication that the shot
had told.
Indeed" he went on, II am SO anx-
ious to know that l shall ask that all
the women who have not done so rise
to their feet and be counted"
He paused moment and waited
One rose far over in the corner, then
another near her, and soon they had
come up all over the house until there
were at least fifty on the floor. The
preacher counted them carefully. Then
he added:
''Fifty-two," he said. ''Well, really,
dear friends, l had no Idea there were
so many widows in this community p

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Crazy people never think they are
crazy. Are you crazy?
The average person places too much
confidence in an apology.
People are not so much interested in
your grievances as you think they are.
1t is one thing to appreciate COM
pliment and another thing to swal-
low it.
A woman never used powder that
man didn't notice it. But women say,
Men are so easily fooledr'
Men don't like men very well; wom-
en- don't like women very well either.
And men quarrel with women some
times.
When man regrets that he didn't
get much schooling in his youth, some

don't sympathize with him as much as
he xpected.-Atchison Gl

A Case of Pronoun..

Tommy Mulligan of the seventh
grade was absent from the class room
for one entire day. 1t would appear
that he had played truant, for, un-
known to Tommy. his teacher had spied
him trudging homeward with pockets
bullying suspiciously when she, too,
was homeward bound that afternoon.
But Tommy brought a note Of excuse
the next morning, which, of course,
would prove that he had been detained
at home legitimately. The writing was
hardly that of a feminine hand, and
the note appeared to have been written
laboriously and with much bIotting
Furthermore, the penmanship seemed
to be strangely familiar to his teacher
The note read as follows:
Dear teacher Please excus Tony
for not comeing to shool yestiddy. he
cudnot come l tore my pants.-Mrs
Mulligan. Philadelphia Inquirer.

At an editorial convention one Of the
country editors offered the following
toast:
ITO save an editor from starvation
take his newspaper and pay him for it
promptly. To save him from bank
ruptcy advertise in his paper literally.
To save him from despair send him
every item of news Of which you can
get hold. To save him from profanity
write your correspondence plainly on
one side Of the sheet and send 1t in as
early as possible To save him from
mistakes bury him. Dead people are
the only ones that never make mis-
takes. Newspaper readers would do
well to remember that there are no per-
feet people, editors or readers"

The City of n Thousand Islands and
Rocky Reefs.
From Swedens capital an enthusiast
tic visitor writes: 1.-THE sky has an al
most Italian radiance as the sun shines
clear and bright on the glittering levels
of the lagoon that divide the new town
from the old. Across the water, on
which a feet of white ferryboats ply,
rises the broad front Of the palace, the
stern outline of which is relieved by the
russell glow which time has lent to the
brickwork. In front of the palace runs
broad quay crowded with shipping,
behind which one may catch peeps Of
narrow, winding streets, with sloping
roofs and painted houses bent with
age. The square front of the palace
rises above the red and gray roofs,
seeming to command the old city. On
my right the waters narrow to swift
rushing stream, over which a stately
bridge has been thrown, uniting the
palace with the picturesque pile of the
opera house or, rather, with the broad
square in which 1t stands. Behind the
opera house lie broad streets of mod
ern houses, in which there are unex-
pected glimpses of waterways crowded
with shipping.
Stockholm is built on series of is
lands formed by Lake Malaren 1t is,
indeed, the city of a thousand islands
and rocky reefs, which are sown broad
cast many miles beyond the mainland,
where the lake and river join the sea.
The steamers which ply up and down
the lake afford endless excursions.
Seward you may sail day among the
islands until you reach the long. low
reefs on which the Baltic beats.
''In spite of their cold climate the
Swedes delight in the open air. After
the indoor life of English or Amer
lean cities it is great pleasure to take
ones meals out of doors, although it
may sometimes be necessary to dine
wrapped in an oyercoat We have
seen people dining in the Tivoi gardens
beneath awnings and umbrellas in the
rain. This habit may explain the health
and vigor of the Swedes"

"What becomes of all the false
facesY' asked the city salesman. who
wears them? There are lots Of them
made. A trip on the elevated roads
gives peeps into many doors where doz-
ems of workmen do nothing year in
and year out but make false faces.
The output must be sufficient to en-
able the entire population to go about
dressed for a continuous carnival On
Thanksgiving and few other fete
days masks are In demand, but the
rest of the time most of us are con-
tent to show our natural countenances.
That comparatively light local trade,
even when swelled by the year round
trade of small shops in populous dis
tricts, leaves a tremendous quantity Of
false faces to be accounted for
