The Huron News -Record Wednesday, 'Sept. list, 1887 The Alcohol Question, • From Open Court, Chicago. Iu Dentorest's lifaggz.ine is a hie-ture by Mr. T. B. Wakeman, in which is presented the Gough side of tenn perance with a show of scientific supple. Mr. Wakeman ,citteinpts to show that alcohol is a poison, and be advocates the suppression of its sale and manufacture for a beverage. • Hewould have it sold only as a ,poieon, and so labeled when sold, under heavy penalties, as is the case with arsenic. he argues that alcohol is a poison because it i an excrementitious product of fermentation. He seems not to be aware of the fact that every plant or animal organism de. pends for its life upon the excre- mentitious product of associated cells. In physiology secretion and excretion aro convertible terms, and an application of the lecturer's logic would make a mother's milk poison- ous to her infant. The , properties of food upon which the torula feeds meat have a definite -relation td ex- oreted aleohol, or the process stops ; just as too much nitrogen will in- terfere with breathing. But neith• er nitrogen nor alcohol, for these YeaS01114, is poison. • Where is Mr. Waketnan'e wars rant,..aside from Zell's _Encyclopedia, for stating that bread is free from alcohol, or that alcohol is not assi- enlisted in the human body. Souie of his scientific assertions are rather reckless, to say the least ; for in- stance: tei alT • cells and tissues ; that a half ounce of pure alcohol will kill a man, that it causes an "explosion" of the • nervotis. • system ; that it never . gets further down than the stomach ; that it inflames and rots the lungs ; that it causes nitro-gly- cerine explosion in, the brain cells. Iu opposition to these statements there is the highest scientific autho- rity for saying that alcohol judici- ously taken prevents the death -of cells and tissues. Dead 'animal substance is prevented from decom- posing by immersion in it, in most instances. Scandisanians have been known to drink several ounces of pure alcohol at one time. It is a matter of acquired toleration. In eing consumption, it prevents lung decay instead 'Of calming it. It ii assimilated with extraordinary ra- pidity and ease by the animal -econ- omy, and it is this very readiness of assimilation that tualree it. danger. 005 when improperly used. It is affirmed by many of the ablest and latest scientific authoris ties that eleoliol is a food. Dr. Hammond, in his Physiological Memoirs, narrates that from per - 8011:11 experimentation, it is a food and it tissue conserver. He eays "The use of alcohol even in moder- ation cannot,thereforiebe exclusively approved or condemned. The labor. ing man who can hardly provide bread and meat enough to preserve the balance between the formation and decay of his tissue, finds here an agent which, within the limits of health, enables hitn to dispense With a certain quantity of food and yet keep up the strength. and ‘voiglit of his body. On the other hand, he who uses alcohol when his food is more than eufficient to eupely the waste of tissue, and at the same time does not increase the amount of his physical exercise, or drink an additional quantity of water, by which the decay of tissue would be accelerated, retards the metamorp. hosis while an increased amount of nutrition is being atisimilated, and thus adds to the„plethoric condition of the system, which excessive food so generally induces," In continued fevers, such as ""' :• ," • , • , ,• '',.• , • • , , • , typhoid*, ,whittky in eultsible...0oiesi • ie gO,Orelly regt*Intl b.,!nylliewt praetitiouereto votoin. 110/.49,,ine, It laresadu .diapettastirkb alcohol aslt, solvent for drugs.

There is no doubt that the undue use of alcohol makes wretched havoc in the world, but we think thata special study should be made of the. alcohol question, in its sociological aspects by ascertaining, firet, why it is that there is so universal addic_ tion. An answer to this question would be the first step towards .,the means of controlling the abuse. Camp–meeting tactics may do a lit- tle good among the ignorant, but clamoring for the suppression of to manufacture of alcohol because it does in many instances work great harm, may be paralleled by the at- tempt of tile Mexican mob to tear down the telegraph lines when in- formed that fightnieg was electri- city. While, the great evils from the U80 of alcohol are beyond dispute,. they are not greater to -day than in the past. Sir Walter Scott menet be regarded as a faithful portrayer of the obi times in every particular, yet his picture of the sottishness of all ranks, castes and degrees, were afforded him by the accurate record- ers upon whom he drew. In pro. portion as a wider expediency has controlled mankind, the grosser ac. accompa !din ents of intemperance have lessened. The evil assumes new guises es times change, one of the vilest of which, we can see in the saloon influence in politiem. But scientific legislation, and an aroused public sentiment, grapple with this depravity, and the world moves on to better days as it always has, even though haltingly' some- times.

In loathing of the crew of evil -.doers I am, sir, your obedient servant, A. E. Ilterxs, St. 'Thomas, Sept. 2. "Orangemen." We have been puzzled for a year or two to know what meaning some people attachrd to the word "Orangemen" or "Orangeiste" nt ueed by them so liberally. At first one naturally supposed that a mem. her of the Orange body was meant, but 'soon it became apparent that this was not the case, for we found that Free Masons, "pendarde," and "Orangeistes" were the same thing, and that even gentlemen like Sir flec!.or Langevin and Mr, Curran of Montreal were "Orangeistes," men •s. *I19, *IBM hit -414 on th-g 49144,11 OntiA91i4 Onreto and Oo- hed never set foot le the hall of Ite7 secret BOciety. 43 last We ham some light on the subject. •Tbe UIuwinrtion`bow been contributed by Mr. gantlet), member of the Separate School board of :Toronto. Against the earnest protest of Mr. Mulligan and one or two others like minded with himself, that board decided to para. cipate in the Jubilee ceremonies of last June. The majority of the members evidently saw no reason why they would not join with other British subjects in rejoicing that a noble woman and a good sovereign had been spared to reign for fifty years over a prosperous empirp. They kuew of nothing in their con- ditioe as Canadians, as British sub- jecte or as Christians which separat• ed them from other Canadians, Bri- tish subjects and Christiand,; and so they decided to unite with their fel- low citizens in honoring IseriMajesty. In carrying out that intention some expense was incurred, and when the bill came before the board for audit. Mr. Mulligan objected to its pay.d tnent. The expenditure, he said, was/illegal ; and he added : "My further objection to this bill is that It enabled the trustees; to figure in nothing more me lees than an Orange procession.'' So it is out at last. All who honor the „Queen are Orangemen. That is ,the opinion of firebrands like Mr. Mulligan, We are very happy to know that hosts of Mr. Mulligan's co -religionists do not share that gentleman's rabid hate of her Majesty.—Hamilton Spectator. For and About Women. You may always know the in- herently vulgar woman by the blare of her dreaa. Refined women never wear high colors oh the street. You never see the girl whom right -winded persons admire mid respect setting herself up es a display figure for brilliant plaids simply because brilliant plaids happen to be the order of the hour ; when high hats are raging she does not build hers up to the stars , she does not out -hang all of banged creation. nor grotes quely. bebustlo herself to outdo the wearer of the biggest bustle in town ; nor do any other acts of exaggeration.She practises the Shakesperian .wisdom to use all temperately. Thia is the kind of girl whose "solid" character is thus drawn by a writer in Har per's Bazar : "Because she does not chatter and giggle, and make herself conspicuous in horse cars or at matineeee, does not ,announce her conviction fi on all occasione and all s'ubjects, and pronounce her admiration at every hand's turn, it must not be supposed that she has no ideas or convictions. In the meanwhile it is the quiet aid. who marries earliest, who makes the best match, who fill the niches which her more brilliant sisters leave vacant, who manages the ser- vants, runs -the sewin-g-nnteltine, re members the birthdays, listens to - the reminisceecessofsW;r4s-end' often keeps tho wolf from the door."

In the first solitary hour after the ceremony take the bridegroom and demand a ;solemn vow of him, and give him a vow in return. Promise one another- eacredly, never, not even in jest,' to wrangle with each other ; never to beady words or in- dulge in the least ill -hu 11101'. Next promise each other eincere• ly and sohnnnly never to have a secret from each other under \Villa, ever pretext, .with whatever excuse it may I,e, You Inuit continuslly and every moment son clearly into each other's bosoin. Even when one of you has committed a fault, wait not an iestant, hut, confess it freely. • And as yuu keep nothing secret from each other, so, on the,contrary, preserve the privacy of your house,' married state, and heart from father, mother', sister, brother, aunt and all the world. You two, with God's help, build your own quiet world. Every third or fourth one whom you draw into it with you will form a party and stand between you two. Promise this to each other. Re- new thevow at each temptation. You will find your ancount in it. Your souls will grow, es it were, together, and at last will become as one.

But happily there is a reverse side to this picture—cases where the coup- le seem so completely made for each other that you actuallv think you see .a 'resemblance between them. A young uiarried woman of my acquaintance, whom 1 had known from her childhood, once said to me with tears in het' eyes, after host heard her husband address her in a very disagreeable tone, "Isn't it provoking that Tom always speaks to me in that way before company; and before that. horrid little Mrs. Pim, too, who always, laughs and says she wouldn't allow her hus- band to speak to her in that way ! Why, everybody knows that they lead a cat and dog life. and elle shakes in her shoes at him, while I am the happiest creature iti the world at home ! There is nothing my Tom won't do for nie at home ! So good, 60 devoted, so ready to fly to the ends of the earth for me, alone at home !" And I knew it was true.. It had been a love match, and lie had waited years un- til he was in a position to marry her. He had not a penny and she had not a penny, till one bright day he came into a fortune, and was at her feet within a few hours of knowing of his good luck. He worshipped the ground she trod on, and yet he spoke to her the day I noticed it in grieved silence, us if slit. wore the only woman he hated and despised. This was his way of showing his affection ; this was the society mask on, and she would have made a joke of it had it not been before others, particularly be- fore little, stupid; silly Mre. Pim. COLD FACTS ABOUT MARY STUART. Some time in the sixteenth cen- tury there flourished a Queen of Scotland called Mary Stuart. nu - user says she was goodelooking, but such detailed infoimation as can be obtained tend to throw a doubt on the point. If she had lived in the present day she would probably have figured in the divorce court, she might have been indicted as• an ac- cessory to the murder of her own husband. She harbored desigus Avowedly hostile to the Govern- ment of this coutitry, and the Gover- ment of this country, which was al- so a women, having the luck to get hold of her, slapped her into prison. She continued to plot against the said Govertnent, and was put to death.
