TWAIN ON PROHIBITION.

Crossing the Atlantic with Mark
Twain last summer" said a w. C. T.
U. woman, II asked his opinion of the
prohibition law. His reply was very
characteristic, very humorous.
81 am a friend Of temperance, and
want it to succeed he said, but l
don't think prohibition is practical.
The Germans, you see, prevent 1t. Look
at them. I am sorry to learn that they
have just invented a method of MAX
ing brandy out of sawdust. Now what
chance will prohibition have when a
man can take q rip saw and go out and
get drunk with a fence rail? What is
the good of prohibition If a man is
able to make brandy smashes out Of
the shingles on his roof, or IL he can
get delirium tremens by drinking the
legs off the kitchen chairs? ? "-Roch-
ester Herald.

Bar to Drunken Persons.

The Pennsylvania railroad lines
have recently adopted rule not to
sell tickets to drunken persons. Muir
ders have resulted on several trains
from their presence, and in some
cases companies have been assessed
heavy damages for assaults commit
ted by drunkards in passenger cars.
For this reason the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn has barred them out of her trains
1t is understood that the Big Four,
the Lake Erie & Western, and prob
ably the New York Central lines are
considering the adoption of the same
rule If the new edict goes forth, no
one who is not sober will be allowed
upon a passenger train. Conductors
will receive instructions to eject at
first stop all who indulge in intoxicat-
ing liquors on the trains.

Unique Class of Total Abstainers.

A recent issue of the New York
Craftsman contains an interesting ac-
count of a unique class OF total alb
stainers existing in Arizona, called the
Hopi Community of Cliff-dwellers.
These strange aborigines were discoY-
cred by white men four centuries ago,
and have only recently been rediscoy-
cred. The Hopis are tribe of In
dians, and are a people without jails,
hospitals, asylums, or policemen, and
crime is almost an unknown thing
among them" The feasts which end
their religious celebrations are never
marred by drunkenness. So far as Mr.
Monsen, the writer is aware the Hopis
are the only aboriginal race which
has never invented an intoxicating
drink, and to this day all the better
Hopi element refuse the white man s
whisky because it takes away their
brains"

ANOTHER INDICTMENT.
Alcohol Shown to Be a Menace to the
Public Health.

The recently published report of DR..
William S. Cook, medical health of
ficer for the town of GFeenock, Scot
land, contains some notable references
to alcohol as affecting the public
health. DR.. Cook embodied in his re-
port poster and handful which had
been issued in accordance with the in
structions of the local public health
committee. This circular made refer
ence to the enormous amount of dam
age done directly and indirectly to
men and women in every town by the
abuse of alcohol, and attention was
drawn to this as one of the chief
causes in lowering the health of the
citizens and rendering them easily
susceptible to many diseases. Com
menting on the notably high infantile
mortality rate shown in his report, DR..
Cook stated: 1T is said by those com
petent to judge that drinking amongst
women of the working class is on the
increase in the United Kingdom-in
any case, 1t is unfortunately too com
mon amongst a class that can least
afford it. There is no single factor SO
perBicious in its influence as this,
whether it be administered to the
child or taken by the parent. Alcohol
is one of the most dangerous menaces

BEWARE OF STIMuLANTS.
They Prove a Dangerous and Deep.
tive Beverage for Human System.

Why should any man endowed with
sense give way to the craving for al
coholic stimulants?
Nutritious food, exercise and sleep
are the best stimulants; you do not
need any others. Half an hours hard
work every day with dumb-bells or
Indian clubs or punching bag will
put you in a physical and mental con-
dition in which you can in the long
run outstrip any man in the world
that lives on stimulants.
Stimulants are 'broken-kneed
horse; they are likely to throw you at
any time.
You can set it down as an absolute
fact that there is no amount of extra
work that you may be called upon to
do and no extra strain you may have
to undergo that you cannot endure a
great deal better without stimulants
than with them.
For every degree of extra energy
/ produced by alcoholic stimulants, de-
clares the New York Weekly there
are ten degrees of lassitude when the
reaction comes.
Besides, it is perfectly we'll known
that all stimulants lose in time their
exhilarating effect. Larger and larger
doses are required, until the sodden
brain refuses any longer to respond,
and the man becomes a mere battered,
depressed wreck.
The wise man has no use for these
things; drinks harmless beverages,
eats his well-cooked food, sleeps with
his window open, exercises every day
and leaves all the stimulant users SO
far behind in the race that, looking
:, back. he cannot even see the poor lit
tie dust they kick up.
