Aleobol and the nervous system: Tee lame authority eays: "Alcohol is un- questionably .a direct aud powerful poi- son to the nervous structure. It not only temporarily impaire and prevents the activity of nervous tissue,. but in a. measure, though at times very minute and almost bnperceptible, every doe° of it permanenely disables the -functional activity of those organs. We sum up the. direct and indirect effects. of alcohol so far as they pertain to the nervous systeinas follows: 1. The loss of' moral and ethical sense. 2. Insanity of jeal- ousy. 3. Delusional insanity with benne- Mations. 4. Delirium tremens. 5. Epilep- sy. 6. Paralysis. 7. Various inflamma, tioue of nervous tissue. "Alcohol is one ef the moet powerful agencies engaged in the effort of de- grading, depressing- and weakening the human race. It is one of the worst en- emies of nmukind and one -of the most powerful causes of degeneracy. Degener- acy may manifest itself by various phy- sical imperfections of bodily develop- ment, but the real dangerous degener- acy means• permanent disability of tbe most highly organized. tissue of the body -the brain and nervous system in general." PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. Here is an exhortation to avoid the sin of drunkenness. "Look not thou up- on the wine when it is red" (v. 31). The juice of certain kinds of wine is red when it ferments and becomes intoxica- ting.. The onlysafe Way is to let it en- tirely alone, not even to look upon it. fts very sparkling, bubbling appearance, if looked upon, may be a source of temptation. It is the first drink that should be avoided. if we would not be- come drunkards. Once we begin to travel in the downward path by taking the first drink, the descent is easy, natural and swift. If we do not "look" upon it, it is evident that we shall not take the first drink and. thus endanger our souls. That we may heed the exhorta- tion he calls our attention to the per- niciops consequences of using strong drink. It brings sorrow ana woe (v. 20). They that :tarry long .at the wine-cim soon bring trouble and woe to them- eelves. This icalows just as certaioiy as does effect follow cause. The drunk- ard is "content and appropriate hinge - age is that of lamentation -the piteoue cry of pain, the agonized exclamation of remorse." H. It embroils men in quarrels (,20), It makes them quarreleoine, in -natured. ill-tempered, cross and surly, ante eausei them to do and say things that involve them in difficulties with others. It is the prolific source of strife and quarrel - tee, in the perpetual atmosphere of wriieh tbe victim of strong drink lives. "When the wine is in, the wit is out and the passions up; and thence come drunk- en scuffles and drunken frais, and drun- ken disputes, over tbe cup: Personal as- saults and nuirders without number are directly treceable to the quarrels inspir- ed by the intoxicatinge bowl. There are many men, who when sober are kind and inoffensive, but mini wen under the in - Mince of strong drink are perfect de- mons, and will strike down their dear- est frientle if they should have a real or eupposed grievanee against them. M. It brings wounds without caese and redness of „eyes (v, 20). Wounds . received in defence of one's eountry are honorable, and we all do honor to the battle -scared veterans of the war, but mounds received in drunken brawls and in the service of lust, and passion are marks of infamy. Not only do they re. eeive "the bruise and the gash which re. •etilt front ferious sparrings or unfore eerie falle. but wounds of -the spirit, selaloathing and shame."

OLD AGE PENSION& FRENCH CHAMBERS CONSENT TO A COMPROMISE MEASURE. The Employees to Contribute- State Liable Only When Fund is Insuffi- cient-IVIinimum Annual Pension is $'72, Paris, Marsh 22,a -Finding that the continued opposition. of the Senate to the workmen's. old age pension bill, pass. ed by the Chamber in 1906, promised to postpone indefinitely the realization of this social reform which the Radical wing of the French Republicans have been promising for years, the Chambers have finally conserited to the prineiple of a compromise and have /cited a reso- lution serving notice on the Government and the Senate that this compromise must become law before the' expiration of, the present year. 'By the terms of the bill Workmen con- tribute 2 per cent. of their wages and. the employees a like percentage 'during • period of 30 years, thus creating a fund from which the wOrkman hereafter is tO receive an annual minimum pension of $72. The State is to contribute only when the forced savings of the workmen do not create a fund large enough to Welsh a 'pension of that amount. 'Upon the promulgation of the Itew propesed to grant annual pensions to an workmen over 60 who haveeworked 30 years, ana then gradually increase the scale of pensions of those "graduating" each succeeding year until, at the end of 30 years all will receive at least $72. The liability after the scheme is in "per- manent" operation is fixed approximate- ly at $68,000,000, The Chaniber has agreed to the principle of absolutely lim- iting the Government liability for the present to $20,000,000 annually, and it is believed that the results will jostify the complete scheme. - AUSTRALIA'S .TRADE.
