irritablIIty tho Waster.

Those who are easily irritated lose
an enormous amount of precious time
and costly energy. In physiology, ir-
ritability is the property of respond
ing to stimulus. In botany, plants
endowed with irritable organs, when
they touch any object, clasp it. This
is all right in soulless plants or mus
cles or nerves; but 1t is all wrong in
men and women who are supposed to
decide for themselves what to respond
to, or grapple with, and what to leave
alone. He is the most miserable of
all men who must respond to every
thing that touches him. He is the
happiest Of men who can quietly ig.
more much that irritates him.

Alcohol" says an exchange, will
remove stains from summer clothes"
That Is true. but it also removes the
summer clothes from the summer, also
the spring, the autumn and the winter
clothes, not only from the one who
drinks 1t, but from the wife and fam
lily as well. It removes the household
furniture, the eatables from the pan
try, the smiles from the face Of his
wife, the laugh from the innocent lips
Of his children and the happiness out
of his home. As remover Of things
alcohol has no equal.-Boy's World.

HOW TO BE "FlT."

Sir Frederick Treves, surgeon to
the late King Edward. recently said:
There is great desire on the part
of all young men to be At. A young
man cannot possibly be At II he takes
alcohol. BY no possibility can he
want It. That any one young or
healthy should want alcohol is simply
preposterous. They might Just as
well want strychnine. Thus the argu-
ment for the young man Is: You
want to be man, and you want to
be fit. You cannot get At on alcohol
No man dreams OF going into
training and taking alcohol. He must

ton, and that must be without alec.

scendants of drunkards with those Of
moderate drinkers has just made its
report. It studied ten families Of each
class, as a result of which 1t states
that 43 per cent of the children Of
drunkards die within few months Of
their birth. against only 5 per cent of
the children Of moderate drinkers.
Among the children of drunkards
there are 10 per cent idiots, per
cent epileptics. s per cent dwarfs, and
In only per cent of them does the
