JOSH BILLINGS ON BEER.
Il never drank but three glasses Of
beer in my life, and that made my
head untwist ez tho 1t wuz hung on
the end of q string. I wuz told 1t
wuz owing to my bile being out Of
plum. ! guess it wuz, for I never
billed owe than I did when I
got home that mite. My wife wuz
afraid I wuz going to die, an I was
afraid I shouldn't, fer 1t seemed ez
everything I had ever eaten wuz COM
ing to the surfus. I believe IL my wife
had not pulled of my boots just ez
she did they would have cum up, too.
"Oh, how sick I wuz! Fourteen
years ago, and I can taste it now!
"Some people say beer is not in
toxicating. But IL I wuzn't drunk that
mite I had sum Of the most natural
symptoms a man eve had and kept
sober.
ut wuz about eighty rods from
where I drank the beer to mi house.
I wuz just two hours on the road, and
had a hole busted through each Of
my pantaloon neez, and I didn't hev
any hat, and tried to open the door by
the bell-pull, and hictouped, and saw
everything in the room trying to get
around on the back side Of me. I
sot down a leetle too 500 and missed
the chair about twelve inches. My
wife said I wuz az drunk ez a beast,
and ez I said, I began to spit up
things freely.
IF beer is not intoxicating 1t used
me almighty e a If ever I drink
any more it will be with my hands
tied behind me and my mouth pried
open."

uniuue Banking Plan,

A unique bank, which is intended for
the benefit Of men addicted to drink
and Is expected to enable many of them
to save money, overcome their habits
and turn themselves into good citizens,
has been started by Judge Joseph
Brady in Kansas City.
The plan Of Judge Brady is to assess
sentence against all drunkards brought
before him and then to parole the man
under condition that he go to work
under the supervision Of a parole Off
e The man s. paroled agrees that
an official Of the court shall collect his
pay check every time 1t becomes due,
pay his board bills or family living ex-
penses If he be a married man, and
take charge Of whatever money re-
mains after allowing the man a small
sum for spending money.

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.

In appearance the beer-drinker may
be the picture of health. but in reality
he is most incapable Of resisting dis
ease. A slight injury, a severe cold,
or a shock to the body or mind will
commonly provoke acute disease, end
ing fatally. Compared with other in
ebriates who use different kinds Of al
cohol, he is more incurable and more
generally diseased. It Is u Observa-
ton that beer-drinking in this country
produces the very lowest kind of in
ebrietE closely allied to criminal in
sanity. The most dangerous classes of
ruffians in our large cities are beer
drinkers. Intellectually a stupor
amounting almost to paralysis arrests
the reason, changing all the higher fac
ulties into a mere animalism, sensual,
selfish, sluggish, varied only with
paroxysms of anges. senseless and
brutal.-Scientific American.
