(Adapted from the Report in the London Advertiser.) Prof. Bowman, in the course of a recent address, said an expenditure of $900,000,- 000 per annum and 60,000 death annually, ,as was the record in the United States in direct connection with and asa result of the drink traflic, were serious matters, and facts like these no doubt caused the study of the cause to be made a part of the school course by the Provincial Minister of tdu- cation, He jaid down asa principle that there was a singular adaptiveness in one part of nature to another, such as air for the lungs, or water for the natural sensa- tion of thirst. The subject, he said, was ‘* Alcohol in contrast with water, the use of water and the usage of alcohol,”” Seven- eighths of the whole body was water ; 79 per cent. of the muscles was water and 80 per cent. of the brain, a lange proportion of the blood and 99 per cent. a the saliva. Insensible evaporation from the surface of the body was going on all the time, and to supply the waste people must drink. The gelatine so largely composing this body would become dry and hard without a sup- ply of fluid. In illustration he asked, if a person wished to lubricate a sewing ma- chine, haw would he choose between oil and sulphuric acid, the one being bland, the other corrosive? Without doubt the oil would be chosen, because it has the properties necessary to meet the requirements of the case. From the ob- vious point he went on to show what fluids should be supplied the body in order that all its functions may be smoothly and pro- perly performed. In his experiments he guarded carefully against an exaggeration of the effects of alcohol by using rum in- stead of pure alevhol. He showed that it was combustible—would bura alarmingly. He divided fouds into two great classes, those containing vegetable and animal gluten, and those containing staroh. The former produce tissue in the human sys- tem, and the latter heat and force. He poured rym on the white of an egg (albu- lated mags. Aloohol had an affinity for water, which it withdrew from the egg. Water aided in the digesticn of gluten. He produced four bottles, two containing diges- tive fluid composed of water, pepsinand muriatic acid— being of similar composition to the digestive fluid of the stomach. In one of these he had put builed egg, in the other Jean meat; both were digested. Two other bottles were presented having the same fluid with the addition of rum. The introduced, but no digestion had taken place. Digesting food with a supply of alcohol in the stumach was like trying to toboggan with the slide covered with sand. If you mixed enough snow with it you could get down after a while. Only to the ex- tent that you mixed water with rum or other strong drinks would there be diges- tion. He contrasted the action of rum and water on sugar and starch, showing that the former would not dissolve them, while the latter would. He called attention par- ticularly to the fact that the effect of alco- hol on starch was to precipitate it. That's how it is that alcoholic drink ‘‘ takes the starch out of a man.” A small quantity of solution of starch in water was added to each of two tubes, one containing water, the other three parts water and one part rum. In a few minutes the starch was precipitated in the second test-tube. This was made apparent to the audience by adding a _ small portion of the contents of each test-tube to two large glasses containing iodine and water (a very delicate test for starch). In one case the presence of starch was shown by the mixture turning blue ; in the other no effect was produced, thus showing that a small quantity of rum has the effect of com- pletely precipitating all starch which may be present ina solution, In the digestive process, starch must become sugar before it can be assimilated in the system. He spoke of the division of foods into ** crystalloids ” and ‘* colloids,” and illustrated the effect of alcohol upon the membrance which sur- rounds all the internal organs. Alcohol is a solvent of fat, while water is not, ‘and so it comes that drinkers of the former die of fatty degeneration of the heart and apo- plexy. Alcohol paralyzed the nerves. Dip the tongue in rum and you cannot taste 4 little sugar placed upon it. Pure alcohol could not be swallowed, because it would cause paralysis of the glottis. affects the nerves. Observe the perennial effect —the perpetual blush—on the face of the drinker. His nerves have been paralyzed and will not perform their proper functions. By experiment he produced the lurid, bluish flame of alcohol by heating some ‘good, harmless home-made wine,’ in a glass vessel, and some ** innocent cider was shown to contain the same dangerous element. For the purpose of illumination alcohol was useful. Having demonstrated the terrible effects of alcohol on the various organs of the body and its functions, Prof. Bowman said we may well ” seem too astounding to be tiue. is no mistake about it. It seemed to him that the great hope of the temperance movement was the educating of the people through the children, and he trusted that the time was not distant when this curse of strong drink would be forever banished from our midst. Apvice to Moruers.— Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup shoald always be used when children are cutting teeth.

Results of Woman Suffrage, | The male population of Kansas is in a dreagjul state of indignation and perplexity at the consequences of female suffrage in that State. It appears that in the exercise of their new rig'its, the ladies combined in several places to put their candidates into their mayor’s chairs and other public offices. The result is that legislation is taking the form of a spirited warfare against all kinds of male dissipation and even of amusements which not only the mer of Kansas, but re- spectacle enough people everywhere have thought proper to condone. Not only are taverns and disorderly houses of every kind closed up, but billiard rooms and even club houses have come under condemnation. It is also said that the Jadies have raised their voices against slovenliness in dress and the free and easy habits of western life are no longer compatible with the regulations they have imposed on all who have business with them. To appear betore them in soiled linen or muddy shves is no longer permitted. In fact the official amazons of Kansas have set up a formidable gyneco- cracy under whose despotism the male population -is reduced to virtual serfdom. A Kansas city correspondent, half in fun and half in earnest, describes the industrial interests of the women-ridden towns as all languishing, except starch and shoe biack- ing. Sealskin and other sumptuary legislation and cow, hog and chicken ordinances occupy the attention of the authorities to the exclusion of the financial and material welfare of these several com- munities. But though men will endure a good deal at the hands of women, he warns them that women suffrage does not mean woman tyranny, and that their present policy may lead toa rebellion in which the men will rally around a _ trouser-spangled banner. me Ornaments in Churches. The reredos recently set up in St. Paul's Cathedral, London, have raised a storm of indignation ina section of the Church of England. It bas had the effect of dividing the Evangelical party into two opposing camps, one of which defends or permits such decoration, while the other pronoun- ces it wholly unjustifiable. The Church Missionary society has entered the lists, or rather has been involved in the quarrel whether it would or not, by the unhappy passions of certain extremists. Authorities ion ecclesiology give the reredos high praise for beauty and harmony in character with the style and associations of the building. ‘But the opponents of such ornaments con- ‘demn it allthe more, it seems, for that very reason. The friends of the Chureh Missionary Society think it unfair thats | body which has had so wide acareer of use- | fulness should be wantonly mixed up vith a controversy for the origination of which it was not responsible. It was deemed de- | plorable that, at a time when the Church of England, as well as the rest of Christendom, | has so vast a field awaiting the exercise of lits best energies, so much time and thought ‘should be wasted on unprofitable disputes. ‘The agitation has, however, had the effect of arousing intelligent curiosity as to the meaning and object of religious art. Oh Mr. Ten Minutes. A touching story is told of the late Prince Napoleon. He had joined the English army, ‘and was one day at the head of a squad riding !{horse-back outside of the camp. It was a dangerous situation. One of the company said, ‘‘We had better retura. If we dont hasten we may fall into the hands of the enemy.” ‘* Oh,” said the Prince, ‘* let us stay here ten minutes and drink our coffee.” Be- fore the ten minutes had passed, a company of Zulus came upon them, and in the skirmish the Prince lost his life. His mother, when intormed of the facts, in her anguish, said: |** That was his great mistake from babyhood. He never wanted to go to bed at night in ‘time, nor to arise in the morning. He was ever pleading for ten minutes more. When too sleepy to speak he would lift up his two little hands and spread out his ten fingers, in- dicating that he wanted ten minutes more, 'On this account I sometimes cailed him Mr. Ten Minutes.” How many have lost not only ‘their lives, but their precious, immortal souls, ‘by this sin of procrastination ! When God calls we should piomptly obey. Temper at Home Dr. John Hall says: ‘‘1 have peeped into quiet ‘‘ parlors,” where the carpet is clean and not old, and the furniture potish- led and bright; mto ‘‘rooms” where the ichairs are neat aud the floors carpetiess; into *‘ kitchens” where the family live and the meals are couked and eaten, and the boys and girls are as blithe as the sparrows in the thatch overhead, and I see it is not ‘so much wealth and learning, nor clothing, |nor servants, nor toil, nor idleness, nor ‘town, nor country, nor station, as tone aud ‘temper that render homes happy or wretch- /ud.
