It Predisposes the Body to Disease—Weak- ens tho Mental rewers—-Healthy Fer- gons Do Not Need Alcohol In Any Quan- tity—Total Abstinence the Safeguard.
Dr. A. Baer of Berlin is a royal med- ical counselor and the first physician of the prison at Ploetzensee. He has written a work on alcoholism and has been pronounced ‘‘the best inform- ed man on the subject of alcohol,”’ writes J. H. W. Stuckenberg in The Voice. His opposition to alcoholism is due to his scientific investigations and his experience witb criminals. We quote but a few of his many utterances on the subject. He thinks drunkenness was probably never before so generally prevalent and never 50 injurious to the public welfare. He declares that healthy persons do not need alcohol in moderate quantities even, and that it is certain that no one becomes a drunkard who was not previously a moderate grinker. He says:
‘‘Aloohol is not a food in the sense that i¢ gives one the power of endur- ance or preserves strength and health. it rather produces the opposite effects, for it destroys the body and ruins its health.”’ Instead of being a preventive cf malaria, cholera and other diseases, alcohol actually predisposes one to these evils. The mental and moral effects of alcoholism are beyond description ter- rible. ‘‘Aleoho) destroys the individu- ality of men, paralyzes the will and the physical energy, makes the individual a slave of his passions, so that, unless he gratifies them, he beeemes stupid, miscrable and impotent, but if they are gratified they are cultivated inordinate- ly so as to terminate in the destruction of the body and the end of life.’’
; We now turn to a Datch physiologist, Dr. &. C. Donders, He says:
‘Never let a drop of whisky moisten
the lips of men. If large quantities de- stray mind and body, small quantities produce physiologically exavtly the same effect. Tho difference is quantitative, not itative. I do not hesitate to affirm that if from this day not another drop of spirituous liquors was drunk, the appetite for it would be quieted after a few geveraticns, if ‘nut wholly destroyed. ”’ » Among tho radical opponents of tha use of alcoho) as a beverage, whether in jiarge or small portions, is Dr. A. Fick, professor of physiology in Wurzburg. He pronounces alcohol a poison, and as a specialist in physiology he declares that its effect on the mind und body is most pernicious. However moderately taken, he denies that it can be regarded as 4 valuable nourishment.
Respecting the strengthening influ- ence of alcohol he says:
“It is altogether beyond question that even the moderate dose of alcoho] dimin- ashes the power of work. All that is Said about the strength produced by al- cohol is deception. The small glass of the poor mrn taken during his hours of laber is pn oubtedly injurious. Every penny which the laborer pays for alco- holic drinks is not only wasted, but also works destructively. The laborer would use his money productively if he spent ‘for fat and sugar what he gives for al-
»cohol."”
He claims to speak as ‘‘a critical Scientist,’’ and states that it is the province of physiology, hia specialty, to determine the effects of alcohol on the ‘aystem. As a seientific specialist he ‘makes this significant statement, ‘‘The *warfero aguinst alcohol is the most im- ‘portasit phenomenon of our age—more ‘Important than political action, wars ‘and peace conventions.’’ He is a total abstainer and .sees in total abstinence the hope of saving the nations now dis- ‘eased by means of alcoholic poison transmitting the pernicious mental and promees effects to the coming genera-
on.
Dr. J. Gaule, professor of physiology ‘in Zurich, declares that the future be- longs to.such as have the courage of tetal abstinence. He laments the great ‘dominion ;ained by alcohol over the -human family. The destruction it works May be slow, but it is sure, ‘The Man addicted to anerphine is a ruin in two ortbree years. Alcohol gives longer Tespite, often 20 or 30 years, but it is *qually remorseless, the process being in essence the same.’’
Dr. J. Kol.mann, professor of anatomy in Basel, pronounces alcoho! one of the Bteatest hindrances to every reform which aims at promoting the welfare of the people. He wants the better situated
Classes to set the example of tota) ab- ‘Stiuence. The rewards will be personal oe increase of the happiness of measly ind.a longer life. ‘‘Temper- life <n abstinence, may lengthen

The eminent Jules Simon, who died recently, sa.d: ‘‘Lam a great enemy of alcohol, which is worse than the pest. It is an unending pest.’’
Dr. Helmholtz, late of Berlin, well known through his discoveries in physi- ology and in other departments of science, was regarded by many as the greatest scientist of the age. He was oue of the eminent thinkers who estab- lished the law of the conservation of energy. In celebrating his seventieth anniversary, referring to his own expe- rience, he spoke of the suggestions which come like lightning flashes as if by inspiration to the scientist and then added, ‘‘But the least quantity of alco- hol seemed to banish them.’’
Alcohol’s Ravages.
As Jong ago as 1847 Dr. Turner de- clared that the inebriate had suffered a compound fracture from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet, so great is the assanit made by alcohol on the human system.

ported. GEO. E. FULL,
viihicnfediipoeabenedanints te A Wandering Lake.
The Swedish explorer of central Asia, Sven Hedin, gives the latest informa- tion concerning the ‘‘wandcring’’ of Lake Nor, in the Gobi desert, a phenom- enon about which contradictory views have been entertained. He says that the
Tarim river, entering the lake from the }
west, brings down, during the period of high water late in summer, a great quantity of silt, which has the effect of driving the lake, lying on the level floor ef the desert, toward the southeast. But the summer wind, drifting the surface sund and darkening the heavens with dust, blows generally from the north- east, and it, too, tends to drive the lake before it. The combined effect of the urging by the wind and the river is to force the lake southward. Yet, Sven Hedin thinks, the migration of the lake is not constant in direction, but it shifts back and forth intermittently, accord- ing as the circumstances change.

Light Withéut Heat.
One of the things which inventors would like much to accomplish is the production of light without heat. Na- ture proves by the example of the firefly and the glowworm that the thing can be done. Experiments at the Physical institute in Berlin have lately shown— what had long been believed without direct measurement of the temperature —-that the light radiated from a Geissler tube, when an electric current passes through it, is accompanied by very lit- tle heat. This accords with the view that we must look to electricity fora solution of the problem of ‘‘cold light.”’

The Butler on Evolution. Two or three mornings after the ar- rival of a new butler the mistress of the bouse took the opportunity of asking the cook how she liked her new fellow servant. The report was an excellent one. ‘‘In fact, ma’am,’’ said the cook, ‘the servants’ hall is quite a different
place now.’’ Not unnaturally the mis- tress pressed for further particulars. “*Well, he talks so cleverly!’’ said the cook. ‘‘Last night, for instance, he ex- plained things to us for two bours.’’ “Explained things! What things?’’ said the mistress, now really interested. “Well,’’ was the reply, ‘“‘he was telling us how we are all descended from Mar, Darwix.’’— Westminster Gazette.
A Forcible Prayer.
A Virginia man at a recent Clover cluk dinner told of an old darky who was pray- ing for rain ina dry season. ‘‘O Lord,” he said, ‘ send down the rain-—a sweet, re- freshing shower—a rain to make the grain big at the root, long at the husk and shiny in the grain; not one of those gully wash- ing and flooding rains, but a sweet sort of a shower. Oh, Lord, send this rain to make the grain grow, for if there is any- thing I do hate. on this carth it is these —— little nubbins.’’—New York Tribune

The Popular Statesman Was In Hard Luck, but Met the Emergency.
‘*Yes, gentlemen, I’m the man that pardoned himself,’ and the popular statesman indulged in a contemplative ehuckle.
**WhenI made my first run for gov- ernor, I had the temerity to invade the stronghold of the opposition and make a speech there. I guess that I must have touched them in a pretty effective man- ner, for there was hissing, yelling and caterwauling while I spoke, and that night I was burned in effigy.
‘‘In order to meet my next engage- ment I hired a rig and a hangdog look- ing feliow to drive it. I paid the livery- man before I left and gave the driver $2 extra when we reached my destina- tion. But the fellow disappeared with the rig, and within the week I was ar- rested on a charge of horse stealing. It was such a barefaced proceeding that I rather welcomed it because of the po- litical capital it afforded. I gave bail and proceeded with my canvass, telling the story with gusto and winning sym- pathy all along the line. When it came to the trial, the jury against me may not have been packed, but it was made up of bitter political enemies, and they actually found me guilty, and I was promptly sentenced to three years in the penitentiary.
‘But meantime Ihad been clected governor, taken the oath of office and been installed. It was a situation that made the lawyers study with wet towels around their heads aid tore the state up from one end to the other, J cut the knot in one slash by issuing a from myself to myself and sitting down hard on the presiding judge. Everybody laughed, and there wasn’t a political prize I couldn’t haye for the asking.’’— Detroit Free Press.

‘Bring me a Welsh rabbit, please.’’
The waiter was gone a long time and finally returned with the proprietor.
‘**Mister,’’ inquired the latter, “are you the man that wanted some Welsh rabbit?’’
‘*Yes,’’ replied the traveler.
‘*Well, sir,’’ rejoined the proprietor, casually placing his hand on his hip pocket, ‘‘we don’t keep no imported game at this house. If plain American jack rabbit ain’t good enongh for you’’—
‘*Why, yes,’’ gasped the terrified cus- tomer, ‘‘bring me a j-j-jack rabbit!’’— Chicago Tribune,
