The report of Dr. A. Monae 7<esser, the executive surgeon, gives the results of observation in regard to the use of alcohol and points out in detail the bad effects produced by it. "Leading German, English, and American physiologists," he says,''accept it as a fact that alcohol in small quantities, by exciting the energies of the Ixxly, may increase the capabilities during the short period which is sometimes required in disease, but that this provision is always gained at the expense of some vitality and a later relaxation." So in cases where it might be useful in relieving inflammations this advantage is ollset by the fact that, while producing this effect, it has a deleterious influence on the other tissues. Nor is alcohol a good thing to enable the body to withstand cold or fatigue. "The Arctic explorer Nansen illustrated that fact by showing that those who drank alcohol could not bear the northern cold, and no one of his staff was allowed to partake of it." As an evidence that it does not preserve the living tissues or furnish staying qualities I)r. Lesser notes that "in the English army in its Soudau campaigns a number of regiments received certain quantities of alcohol, while other regiments received none. The result showed that the latter could bear the strains of long marches far better and were better preserved than those to whom alcohol was given." In the same way he finds its effects injurious to digestion and deleterious in septic conditions. The results of the investigations and observations at the Red Cross hospital are striking and suggestive and are well worth the careful consideration of the medical profession. Mistook the Mule.

The Great Orator's Beautiful Tribute to the Dead MuHiciai. In the noon and zenith of his career, in the flush and glory of success, Anton Seidl, the greatest orchestra leader of all time, the perfect interpreter of Wagner, of all his subtlety and sympathy, his heroism and gramluer, his intensity and limitless passion, his wondrous harmonies that tell of all there is in life and touch the longing and the hopes of every heart, has passed from the shores of sound to the realms of silence, born by the mysterious tide that ebbs but never flows. All moods were his. Delicate as the perfumes of the first violet, wild as the storm, he knew the music of all sounds, from the rustle of the leaves, the whisper of hidden springs, to the voices of the sea. He was the master of music, from the rhythmical strains of irresponsible joy to the sob of the funeral march. He stood like a king with his sceptre in his hand and we knew that every tone and harmony were in his brain, every passion in his heart, and yet his sculptured face was as calm, as serene as perfect art. He mingled his soul with the music and gave his heart to the enchauted air. He appeared to have 110 limitations, no walls, no change. He seemed to follow the pathway of desire, and the marvelous melodies, the sublime harmonies, were as free as eagles above the clouds with outstretched wings. He educated, refined and gave unspeakable joy to many thousands of his fellowmen. He added to the grace and glory of life. He spoke a language deeper, more poetic than words—the language of the perfect, the language of love and death. But he is voiceless now; a fountain of harmony has ceased. Its inspired strains have died away in night, and all its murmuring melodies are strangely still. We will mourn for him, we will honor him, not iu words, but in the language that he used. Anton Seidl is dead. Play the great funeral inarch, envelop him in music. I.et its wailing waves cover him; let its wild and mournful winds sigh and mourn above him. Give his face to its kisses and its tears. Play the great funeral march, music as profound as death; that will express our sorrow; that will voice our love, our hope, and that will tell of the life, the genius, the triumphs, the death of Anton Seidl.

Deacon Jackson was a very pious but very determined old colored citizen of Owl Creek valley. He had a young mule which his boys were unable to ride, and their failure to break the animal so exasperated the old man that he determined to ride it himself. He was, however, no sooner located on its back than he was thrown into an adjoining lot, where he was picked up with both legs broken and his neck badly sprained. "What on earth did such an old man as you mean by trying to ride a wild young mule like that?" asked the doctor. "Waal, suh," said Deacon Jackson, "I never does undertake to do nuthin widout fust consnltin ov de Lawd an seein whut he dun thunk erbout hit. I axed him if I orter ride dat mule what my triflin no ercount boys couldn't ride, an de Lawd liesed, 'Yeeah,'jes' ez plain ez I am talkin to you." "Well, but he seems to have given you bad advice." "No, doctor, his judgment was all right, fer de Lawd knows dis ole nigger never seed de day when he was afeered to straddle anything from a circular saw up to er elephant, but dis time I think de Lawd was jes' mistooken in de mule."
