An enthusiaatic meeting of W. »C.
T. U, was held Monday afternoon
ot the residence of Mrs. B. 0. Price.
The meeting was lead by Mrs. P. M.
Murray. Subject: Medical Temper-
anc« The following paper was read:
Alcohol being the excreta o fanl-
malculae. the product of the decom
position of grape-juice, corn, malt,
apples or otber.^tarcby substances.
Is therefore the enemy of life, the
very ashes of d n ath
Scientists agree i|L placing alcohol
among the most fmtant, virulen»,
and'deadly poisons to anlmaj life. A
small quantity taken pure will parft-
lyze th" nerve /-enters, and, like an
electric shock, tyll Instantly.
The oryilnkrF wffect of aleohol Is
to Irritate and parch the mtlcoun
membranes of the Intestin-s, and
paralyze the nerves. When taken In
to the sytsem, either In the form of
whiskey, brsndy, beer, cordials, or
light wines, etc, its poisonous ef
fects. while so exhilarating as to be
yery fascinating, are so deleterious
to all nerve tissues and fibers of
the body, that a general derange
ment of all the vital organs Inevi
tably follows
Th« effect of alcohol contained In
these beverages finds its way to the
Lpngs and arteries which are con
nected with the h»srt, and they be
come more or less congested and
paralyzed by the poison, and Inca
pable of rightly performing tb-lr
ordinary functions; and this burn
Ing or corroding effect commences
with the smallest quantity of alco
hol taken In the system. Therefore,
there Is no such thing as "moder
tlon" in the use of alcoholic bever
ages; th- poison In them Is always
active in 4t» deadly mlssiye and goes
on all through the body; but the
result on the h-art and brain Is es
pecially ndticeable. a these organs
ire very sensitive and are so retard
ed in their operations that disease
and death would rapidly ensue were
there . not in nature a generous
amount of active recuperalion,
struggling to counteract and elimi
nate the poison.
Alcohol, being a foreign, poison-
ou* .element, even when greatly dl-
lut n d, as in beer| which contains
from f* to 8 per cent of it, does not
assimilate like food, but taxes na
ture with extra execution to expel
the Intruder, which Is partly eject-
o
|.ed through the lungs or breath, but
mostly through thej' -pore^ of 'the
akin and through the kidneys,
which become more or less Inf1am n d
and therefore obstructed by cong-s-
tion; but Enough of me poison will
linger in th“ system to aggravate
any disease th which the drinker Is
liable, and hasten a fatal termina
tion.
This specific action of alcohoT.
while producing n general distur-
barn" of and Injury to ail t:ic vital
organs, is especially detrimental .*o
nute eelly of gray, fatty substance,
with a large proportion of wafer;
and when taken I nstoniach icing
berF volatile, a portion of it go^s
Ucka on the brain and other sensi
tive organs, a chronic change takes
place in the victim of alcohol which I 1
manifests Itself In all the man's ac
tions and character. He generally
becomes morose and stupid, with a
tendency to. parpxyems of violence,
{and sometimes Idiotic hllairty. His
will power is sluggsh or nearly^
gone, and he fs left to be controlled
almost entirely by his animal pas
sions, which arc closely allied to
criminal Insanity. Besides an ever-
increasing longing is engendered for
more of th« fiery lluid to gfatlfy the
cravings of an Insatiable appetite;
and other symptoms follow, such as
diseased fatty degeneration, a
bloated body, a sluggish action of
th<» liver and kldnevs, accompanied
by » r**d, or Inflainod skin, and
some times by eruptions which can
be plainly traced to alcoholic pois
oning. Many of these Indications
and symptbm* of a poisoned die
eased body would horrify drinkers
were they sufficiently aroused or
were they anxious or willing to be
lieve the facts ss they develop them-,
selves In their experience or could
they realize that they transmot to
ther posterity a hereditary taint
that is horrible to contemplate.
Even when taken as medicine, al
coholic beverages irejnently pro
duce results far worse than disease. 1
Extensive hospital practice, both in
this country and In Europe has
proved the gyest benefits of an en
tire exclusioA of this poison an a
remedy, other ^gent4 being used,
which are quite as effecient, but not
followed by the paralyzing or st'ipl-
fying effects of alcohol’s corrosive
poison.
Alcohol, in Its action In aniriial
matter. Is somewhat analogus to ar
senic, morphine, or strychnine; it
fends to suspend decay in dead mat-
j/er, and in live bodies It paralyzes
or inflames with congestion, in this
way showing that it is the actlv*
(enemy of all life, or death in* dis
guise. •
We put snakes and oth^r animals
and sometimes dead Into al
cohol. to prevent anlmalculae or
m^robes In the dead bodies from
generating or living on the starchy
[substances contained In them; so all
actual life in the bodies is suspend
ed. But certain disintegration and
death in its most active form is pro
duced by the corrosion of alcohol in
living bodies, and in this way It
proves Itself to be an acrid, dead^
poison to human life.
More than two thousand years ago
the results of alcohol on the body
were compared to the ibite of la
serpent and the sting of an ader.
and alcohol has not changed its na-
|,ture since. At the pr n sent time, al
coholic beverages are certainly th**
most injurious, deceptive and dan
gerous elements of death arid des
truction that exist, and the annum
of criminal courts prove that It M
on aggravated public nuisance gen
erally.
Yet these beverages are so fasH-
pating and the poison In them so
.insidious that the whole human

Namee, Has Dealt With the Sub
ject in an Interesting and In**
structive Manner.
• The study’as to tbe^rlgin of sur
names is more intricate than one
who has never engaged in this di
version may suppose. The name of
the present president of FYanc^, M.
Poincare, appears to mean “square
flet." which could bardly need a coat
of arms to go srith It. The greater
part of our English names ending in
“tog'’ are, accoiding to Profeasor
Wccklcy, in his Romance of Names,
of Anglo-Saxon origin. Among these
are Browning. Banning. Dunning.
Kipling. Manning and Spalding.
Among Anglo-Saxon sufllres greatly
changed In their spelling and . pro
nunciation are beald (bold), beort
(bright), cytel (kettle), god (good),
heard (strong), here (army), man
(man), mund (protection), roed
(counsel), ric (powerful), weald
(ruling), weard (guard), and sine
(friends).
The name Everett fs from the
Saxon Eoforhead, which also takes
the form of Everhard; Gunter was
Onndhere. Redmond, the name 1 of
the great nationalist leader. Is not
Irish, but ia from the Saxon Raed-
mund; neither la the name Parnell

often Interchanged so that from
Eastmund came both' Eastman and
Esmond. The nime of the fat knight.
Falstaff. comes from the Saxon Fast-
wuif, and Hubert, Hubbard. Hobhrt
and Hlbbert have as their ancestoi
beorth (army bright), and Regen-

Kettle or Cauldron of Norse mythol-
logy. It survives In such names is
[•(Tjettle, Kettle, Chell atid Kell, whence
comes the name Kelsey, the “ey” tend
ing to confirm the opinion that the
original Kelsey was an Islander. Many
names of common folk, the plain peo
ple, have been ennobled. Prominent
among these is Stewart or Stuart,
which became royal with Walker, the
Steward of Scotland, who married Mar
jorie Bruce in 1115. It stands for sty-
ward. where sty means pen. hut is not
necessarily limited to pigs.
Perhaps the’most interesting £roup
of nicknames,” says Professor Week-
ley. ’’is that of which we may take
Shakespeare as the type. Incidental
ly we should be thankful that our
greatest poet bore a name so much
more picturesque than Comatlle

ley well says, it la Impossible to retail

say .“Between you and l.”—Ohio Edu
cational Monthly.
Don’t worry. We are all liable to 1
fall into bad grammar occasionally, j
even outsldo the halls of learning. "Be-
tw’cen you and I” has become such an '
idiom that it looks nil right, and then,'
besides, it has a cultivated tone. We
never hear it without suspecting the
speaker is trying to run in some edu
cated grammar on us But the sad
fact about this gentle invasion of cul
tured talk ia that it has gotten a deep
hold on sdciety.' We heard the other
day a lady of the most fashionable
style, and who gives club banquets,
say ’’between you and I " though, of
course, we weren’t the'you she <re-
ferred to. So we have become very
chftitable on account of these dis
crepancies, and our charity is en
hanced by the report that a teacher
now and then says ’'between yon and

Ths Great American Plumber.
A heroic statue to the first Ameri
can plumber as a companion statue to
the figure of Liberty ih New York har
bor is the suggestion of Barry Pain,
the English short story writer, who
has been lecturing in this country.
“You have a maguiticent supply of
bathrooms in America,” he said re-
ceatly. ”1 never saw so many in my
life before. Who started your United
States bath tub movement? 1 am go
ing to try to find out. and think the
first American plumber should be
given recognition ^ Are there no
statues in his honor?”
Mr. Pain, who ia nearly fifty, is mak
ing hit first vlait to the United States.
He to famous in England aa a writer
of short stories and a contributor to
Punch, but this' year marks the first
American edition of his work—three
volumes of which have just been pub
lished.
