A Terrible Wreck.

The late Max O'Rell, in "John
Bull & Co., narrated the following
incident, which came under his
eye in Australia:
A man about forty, with drawn
face, haggard eyes and the sad,
sinister expression of a Chinaman
in an opium den, presented him
self at nine o'clock in the morn
ing at the private bar of the hotel
where l had put up. He laid
down sixpence and was served
with a glass of whisky. He added
a little water with a shaking
hand, carried the glass to his lips
and at one draught swallowed the
contents. Then, silent and with
out lifting his dull and staring
eyes from the ground, he went
away.
Half an hour later he returned.
HIS hand trembled and more
and seemed to refuse to lend itself
longer to the task imposed upon
it. The hotel keeper, who had
noticed my interest in the scene,
said to me:
Gin the intervals he goes to an
other hotel and gets a drink. If
you have nothing particular to do,
remain where you are and you
will see something that will repay
you for your trouble"
About 1890 the poor wretch APP
peared OF the bar for the seventh
time. The sixpence was laid
down, and the glass filed. The
hand went to the glass, but had
no longer the power to take it.
After many efforts, however, the
glass was g~rasped, but even then
the drink could not be conveyed
to the mouth.
The drunkard dsrted a furtive
glance from right to left. II
seemed to him that no one was
looking.
He drew a long silk handker-
chief from his pocket AMI passed
it around his neck. With his two
hands he held the tive extremities
Ia his right hand he grasped the
gI4ss, and drawing the end which
was in his left hand, the ingenious
drunkard made a pulley of the
handkerchief and succeeded in
conveying the whisky to his
lips. He put down the glass,
dragged himself to the door, and
edging along by the walls, found
his way home to get a few hours
repose.
"This thing has been going or
for three years, "said the landlord
"but the pulley trick he only tool
up a month ago. 1t is the las
stage. Soon he will no longer be
able to swallow, and deliriun
tremens will carry him of."-Her-
aid and Presbyter.
