A Signal Man’s Spree.

The New York Sun of the 15th ult,

| gives a somewhat thrilling : rccount ef a ratiway signal man’s spree, and what came out of it. Geo. Mason, a sigual

tower man on the Long Island -railroad, near New York, got drunk and took forcible possession of hig signal tower, iriving the day watchman out at the point of a loaded revolver. He soon got the signals mixed and stopped two pas- senger trains going in opposite directions. Word was quickly sent to an adjoining station, and all trains that should pass were stopped. A number of men were sent and overpowered the inebriate, and took him away to a police station, where ha was locked up. Providentially, no toss of life or property resulted from his spree. ‘The next day he was tried before i police maigstrate, and sentenced to two months’ imprisonment, the magistrate regretting he could not give him a heavier entence Such an incident shows what ianger there may be toa whole com- munity wha. one man drinks too much.

Preventing Lightning,

The loss of a barn anl erop and frequently, portious if net alPof the live stock therein, has become so com- mon of late years, that ii ferms one of the most serious drawbacks to farming in some soctions We notice records of fifteen barns burnt in three Pennsylvania connties during a late storm. We sugzest that an investigation bs made asto the proportion of barns actually destrosod in this way, which were supplied with a properly constructed lightning conduetor, pas ed sufficiently deep ina moist subsoil, and kept moist by watering, especially before a storm in times of crouth. It is seldom ons hears cf the dwelling house being struck; it is the bara and this is more frequently supplied with a conduc- tor than the house.

CHRONIC HEADACHE.

The change in my Mother's condi- tion marvellous. Scott's Sarsaparilla is a Boon.

MONTREAL, August 29th, 1895. GENTLEMEN :—There is such a change in my mother’s health that I cannot re- strain myself from writing you. She suffered for years past with a chronic l@adache, accompanied with a disordered stomach. She was weak and irritable, and we thought she was going into a de- cline. For three weeks she has been taking a course of Scott’s Sarsaparilla, whith was recommended to her by Mr. McGale, Druggist, Montreal. Her head- ache is now but a memory, her appetite is good, andshe has gained five pounds in weight in twelve days. She is a different woman, and I feel that you, in God’s hands, have been the means of re- storing her to health. I shall always recommend Scott’s Sarsaparilla to suffer- ers from head or digestive troubles. Thanking you again, I close. Yours sincerely, Hortense Gaviliere. Scott’s Sarsaparilla is a concentrated extract, pleasant to the taste, and is taken in small doses. It is the finest remedy for disorders of the stomach and liver, palpitation, screfulous sores, eczema and skin diseases arising from impurities of the blood. It bui’ds up the weak, the strong it maintains in health. §1 of all druggists.

TOBACCO AND EDUCATION.

Recent Action of Two Universities Aeu_nst the Use of Tobacco in College, If the action of the authorities of two

untverities is an indication then a_ war is to be begun by the higher eductional in- siitutions upon the use of tobacco in lege. ‘The Boston University has revent- ly made the rule that those students who are unwilling to give up the use of tobac-

col

co while in the University building may withdraw and their tuition fees will be returned The step taken by the North-

western University while not so decisive is nevertheless understood to mean that the use of tobacco will be discountenanced ed in that institution. Statements have been handed around among the students asking them to give their o inion of the results vf the use of tobacco in their case, and to say whet! we: they ara willing to piedge theinselevs against its use in future

If statistics gathered at have any weight it will have to be admit- ed that the free use of tobacco has an in- jurious effect upon the health of students. ‘The bast known and most th determine this question were

own

made at

Yale and Amherst, which institutions can ba taken as fairly representing the

egzes In 1591 the physician at Yale published the re sults of his observations 0: the use of to- bacco among unilergraiistes In a class of 147 students he found that in four years the 77 who never used tobacco surpassed the 70 who did it 10.4

per cent. in gain in weight, 24 per cent in increase of height and 26.7 per cent. in growth of chest girth. But the most

marked differance was in the gainin lung capacity, the non-users recording a gain of 77.5 percent greater than the habitu- al chewers or smokers

This is a remarkable showinz, but it is

surpassed by an investigation made among the undergraduaies at Amherst It was found that during the four years of a college student's life at that school

the non users of toabeco gained 24 per cent more in weight, 37 per cent. more in height and 42 per cent more inches girth than the tobacco users, while the increase in the lung capacity of the fur- ner was 75 per cent. greater than in the

latter. This Repti relativa increase among the hon-users of tobacco at Am herst than * Yale is accounted for by the fact that the average age of the

students at the former school is lower than

at the latter school, and hence they are more susceptiblo to any cause which affects them injurionsly. If similar in
