The patient, if he really wants to be cured, must clearly maice up his mind that it must be total abstinence or self-dsstruction, gradual, perhaps, but none the less sure. CHILDREN OF DBINKEF.S. The London correspondent of the Ameri can Practitioner and News writes t.hat, a distinguished English specialist in children's diseases has carefully noted the difference between twelve families of drinkers and twelve families of temperate ones during a j.eriod of twelve years, with the result that lie found the twelve drinking families pro duced in those years flfty-seven children, while the temperates were accountable for sixty-one.- Of the drinkers, twenty-five chil dren died in the first week of life, as against six on the other side. The latter deaths were from weakness, while the former were attributable to weakness, convulsive at tacks, or an cedema of the brain and mem branes. To this cheerful record is added five who were idiots; five so stunted in growth as to be really dwarfs; five when older be rame epileptics, one. a boy, had grave choreaeniing in idiocy, five more were dis eased and deformed, and two of 'the epilep tics became, by inheritance, drinkers. Ten only, therefore, of 'this fifty-seven,, showed, during life, normal disposition and develop ment of body and mind. On the part of the temperates, as before stated, five died in-the first week of weakness, while four in later years of chilhood had curable nervous dis eases. Two only shoNved inherited nervous defeets. Thus fifty were normal, in every way sound in body and mind. A PRACTICAL TEST. Two young physicians practicing in a ho pitab were much taken with Dr. Ainstie's the ory of the food value of alcohol. In godd faith they set about a personal demonstration, taking the doctor's "safe dose"' instead of their usual rations of eatables three times a day. By the, end of three days they were hardly able' to crawl up and downstairs; they had each lost six pounds-of flesh and they we're altogether so miserable that they were glad to return to their usual diet and discard alcohol.

This form of exercise, taken for say half an hour a day, will do much good to young people who are becoming stooped and round-shouldered. The exercise should be commenced at an early age, and the weight must be very light to com mence with. It should at first, indeed, be more an exercise of balancing. " The Banjo. Lexicographers hare agreed that "banjo" is a corruption of the Spanish "bandore," which has words of simi lar sound, spelling and significance in many tongues. It is quite likely that the Arabs, in their conquest or by trade, may have introduced the guitar and banjo into Western Africa, whence it was brought "to this country.

The statistics given by-Secretary Morton show that that the cattle crop for the present year is nearly 1,000,000 less than that, of the year preceding. Last year's drought played havoc with cattle In many of the larger stock-raising dis tricts of the West The lack of, an adequate crop of corn also had . a ten dency to decrease the supply of prime beef made from corn-fed cattle. It Is not unlikely that the firms which con trol the cattle supply have taken ad vantage ' of these influences to make a profit on their decreased supply by artificial means. It would be quite pjossible to d'o this without entering upon any actual combination or trust. "With a serious scarcity of cattle the influence of even one of the giant packing firms which might choose to hold back its supply of cattle would effect an increase of price which the other firms would rather secure than, endeavor to cut down by competition.. However, it Is gratifying to know that the Secretary of Agriculture is going to make a thorough investigation of the facts with a view to learning the exact causes of the sudden advance in beef. If any unfair means is being used to increase the cost of the peo ple's tenderloins and sirloins the pub lic has a right to know it. . Patriotism In. the Home. "Every household," says a woman, "should own a flag, Just as much as it should have bed linen," a sentiment that will find few dissenters. The flag should not only be owned, but put out on every occasion on which there is. the least excuse. Patriotism is inborn, to be sure, but lots of inborn senti ments need development and fostering. Love of country is one of the things that we cannot bring out too early or have too strongly demonstrated. She (after the unmasking) I see that strawberries are on the bill of fare, George.

"Gentlemen, I wish to speak to you to-day about the age of Genesis," which remark was greeted with a burst of feet scuffing and a general smue on uie pari, ot uie ciass. The professor, thinking that his sub ject was being appreciated, continued, with a still firmer note in his voice . "Genesis is not so old as some of you suppose." This was greeted with such a burst of merriment that the professor had plenty of time, before it quieted down, to Jliink wliat should be his next re mark.
