The chief eausa of this ls. the paralyzing effect of alcohol upon the white bloat' mime:flea. These white oot- puselesare the ecaveugero of the body. They seem to scent all harmful germs; and, pushing through the linings of the blood vessels. they envelop them or "eat them up," Alcohol paralyzes those or- poseles and diminishes their number, with the, result that the prole multilibr uucliecked, secrete their poisons, end claim their ;subject as an eaey Some time ago one of tho professors of Rush Medical College gave" two rabbit's Pneumonia by injecting pneumonia genie in them. anfe,in one a little alco- hol was hijected.

A subsequent examin- Won under the microscope of the blood of each showed that in tho rabbit in which the alcohol had 'beim injected, the white corpuselefs contained no germs, and had evidently ben paralyzed, .while the white corpuscles of the other rabbit were literally full of them, as many as twenty germs being found in ono ear. muscle. This is a ivia illuetratioe of what takes place in e drinker. His de- ereased vitality and resisting power can- not be wondered at in the light of such facts. Even moderate drinkers play the geme of life with a groat handicap. The clear eye, the steady nerve, the keen percep- tion that indicete a man at his best are not bis to enjoy. He has started on the road to woes and 'sorrows. -13. L. O. PRACTICAL APPLIC.ATIONS. Teke Heed, "If any Men say- ,,This is offered in se -orifice to idols, 09,t, Met fel' hio sake" (v. 28).

"It is good neither to eat flefelt, nor to drink wine, nor anything whore - by thy brother stumbleth, or ii offend - ea, or is made weak" (Roth, 14:21).

Alcohol is the cure?, of le world. it "has taken the glow of health from the cheek and placed there tho hue of the wino -cup; taken the luster from the eye and made it .dim and blood -shot: taken vitality from the blood and filled it with seeds of diseese end des.bh; entered the brain, the temple of thoughb; de- throned reason and made it reel with folly; taken intelligesee from the eye and exehanged it for the stupid stare of idiocy; taken beauty from the foce and left it ill -shaped and bloated; token firm - nests and elastleity from the stops and. made them faltering and treachorotei; taken vigor from the arm and „left weaknoes; bribed the tongue to utt.a matinee§ mid euegieg," Alcohol deadens 'the eeasibilities and changets love to oruelty, A reporter toile of the meat revoltlna sight he ever saw -even in a limier saloon -a father giv- ing, his throe -year-old child gooey.

SEVERED HEAD. TORONTO MAN ARRESTED ON AN UNUSUAL CHARGE. Disinterred Son-in-law's Body and Brought Head to Toronto -Has Seen Prosecuting Damage Action in Oonnectio_n With Man's Death. 'Toronto despatch says: The aution of Frank Anthony of 548 Adelaide street west, a local tinsmith, in opening the grave of his soa-ia.law, William Gray, at Orangeville, and having the head eev- erce from the body, will be the basis of a criminal prosecution by the Orange- ville authorities. Authony was arrested in a loundry yesterday afternoon by De- tective Tipton on -it charge of "miscon- duct in reepect to human remains," and handed over to County Coustable etughes, of Orangeville. The officer took his prisoner back last evening. The case ie an unusual one, and centres hi the death over a year ago of ..may. The dead man was, accord- ing to the police, a heavy drinker, and, having been placed on the "Indian list," was refused liquor at the hotels in the teem. Some time before his death, it 15 said, he forced his way into Jeremiah Morrison's hotel, and when the proprietor attempted to put Iii, out a fight resulted. Gray was ejected from the building after he had, according to the story of his re- latives, beef) struck over the head by O hard Tubber instrement in Moe- rison's hands. The incideet was al- most forgotten tuitil tome inonthi later, when Gray after a short illness died. His relatives then revived the story of the fight in the hotel and tee alleged use of the piece of hard rubber, claiming that Gray's skull had been fraetured by the blow, although the injury was tiot suspected at the time. County Attorney MacRay, to determine whether there was any foundation for the story, held an in- quest, Init the jury after hearing the evidence brought iii- it verdict of death from natural causes. Not content with this, Prank An- thony, of Toronto, tepresenting Grey's ife, brought an 'fiction in the courts against thehotelkeeper, elaimiug damages for the death of Gray. The body as exhumed. The trial of the action WAS hoard 'before a jury, County Crown Attorney Drayton, of Toronto, representing 1Vforrison. The jury, after Retelling to physicians for both side;, found against the plain- tiffs, end the presiding judge refused permission to appeal. Still unwilling to itecopt defeat. Anthony announced his intention of asking the Coma of Ap- peal to set (tattle the judge's ruling and for permiseion to have the action tried again. No decision has as yet been given on tltis point. Meanwhite Anthony had the hod, exhumed win., and, severing the load frotyt the trunk, brought it to To- ronto, where it is now in charge of his lawyers. As his warrant for this action Anthony claims to have ve- oeived an order from an Orangeville justice of the Peace. Although tin second disinterment took place some time ago, it was apparently kept a secret until the last few days. . INSPECT OAKVILLE FARM. New Central Prison May be Located. Near That Town.
