A ll clinical study eliowe that earn* Atate of defective brain and nerve de­ velopment, or some form of functional or •organic degeneration,, precedes the first css of alcohol, In certain cases It is clearly central nerve exhaustion, functional perverslons, organic defects from injury or disease, or hereditary predisposition. The first use ot al­ cohol, either In so-called moderation, or in toxic doses, as in intoxication; seems to concentrate and organize the forces of dissolution; which, from this time, move on with great uniformity and ac­ celerating speed/. When inebriety is fully developed,, this is very apparent and often traceable from stage to stage. The action o f alcohol as a paralyzant on both cell’ and nerve fiber,’ and its Chemical interference w ith nutrition .and circulation, together|with the com­ plex forces of hered ity’ and environ­ ment, are a ll powerful causes readily •explaining the presence and progress o f 'dissolution. . In the more recent studies of the mind; three divisions are recognized, the emo­ tions, .tiie volitions and the intellect; from wtese the evolutions and dissolu­ tions can be traced. The study o f in­ ebrietyvqJiould follow these divisions, and point out the chsnges f rom a healthy mind. Beginning' with the present trace back tho emotional, vo li­ tional and intellectual changes, and as­ certain how far they have been the re-' •suit of. alcohol and narcotics; or o f previous degenerations, defects, -in­ juries or hereditaries.- While the facts are numerous and complex, and often difficult to substantiate, yot when grouped and compared they range them­ selves into certain outline forms of dls- ’ solution that can not ba mistaken, The 'following are some of the general faots seen in aU cases of inebriety. ^The dis­ so lu tio n o f volition Is tho first promi­ nent symptom. Th is is loss o f self-con­ trol, either local or general. The co­ ordinating brain centers are enfeebled, and fcho man is. unable .to direot bis acts' or conduot with consistency. The greater the loss o f vita l energy, the weaker the volition, until finally he is a mere creature o f any functional impulse that maybe present. Alcohol not only produces loss o f nerve energy, but dam­ age to nutrition, and inab ility to re­ store this loss, and tho desire for rollof becomes more and more intense, de­ manding a continuance o f spirits for . this end, Th is dissolution process may be apparent only in matters controlling the functions o f the body, and tha in­ fluence o f surroundings upon them, or it may extend to relations ot life be­ yond this. Dr. W righ t hss very aptly termed "th is paralysis at fiirAt func­ tional, then organic." Beginning in failure to regulate the more simple acts oi the body, It extends to the com­ plex duties and relations, and Anally' ends in dementia. The-inebriate has always mors or less pronounced dissolu­ tion of volition, which increase:} c ; his cate becomes more chronic. The-next prstninent .■CC'L&Z-Uia o f the emotions o f feel­ ings. The exhaustion from the* palsy e l alcohol and the derangement which >nay have preceded it, manifests itself in emotional changes, in great exaltations and depressions. The psychical cen­ sor/ centers are in a state o f Intense ir­ ritation, and a ll impressions cause pain, both psychical and physical. Alcohol rslieves this quickly. States o f brain sirnmia, which Meyaert thinks are due to a spasm o f the arteriole* and an arrest o f tb eb lodd supply; oause deep despair and melancholia. In tha early stages an effort is mad* to eecape the** nerve depressions by the increased use o f spirits. Later It deepens into despair and Suloide, The exaltations ahd hyperesthesia era followed by a profound lowering o f a ll the functions kith anfeathesla. These emotional *x - •tterations and depressions are palsies the sensory centers and dissipations df energy. Manifest in aligh t changes *t drat, then it passes on to saaerie and Melancholia.

Be­ ginning in simple matters pertaining to the bodily functions, it grows until it include* a ll the relations o f matter and mind. W ith the decline o f nervous en­ ergy, and Impairment o f the higher functions o f the brain, the lesions of intelligence incresse. I t may be for a long time apparently confined ot the care and control of the body, but as dissolution goes on it embraces every function o f the brain. In some esses a, degree of automatic' intelligence re-' mains long after general brain failure appears. Th is has given rise to a false b elie f that an inebriate may possess un­ impaired judgment and intelligence on to the end o f life. In these three ways the march of. dissolution 'can be traced in; a ll cases. Beyond this there is a phase o f dissolution not so clear, bo- cause it .concerns the higher end more obscure functions o f the brain called conscience. Th e inebriate early ex ­ hibits failure o f this, tho latest formed element? the oharaoter. His conception o f truth and duty to others, and. hit recognitions o f the higher relations and duties o f life, undergo a marked dissolu- tibn. Bis veracity, his honor, his pride o f character, his sense o f duty, all suf­ fer, and aro finally paralyzed. Thus in all oases o f inebriety there is a. chain o f dissolution which can be traced back to causes and conditions which maybe reached by therapeutic aids and moans o f prevention. Th is is the lin e o f scientific study from which the real facts may be discovered.—Quar­ terly Journal o f Inebriety. ITEM IZED FAC TS . ’ . E vkut man’s sin is everybody’s busi­ ness.—J .G .

A B O U T HOG* , v . TSo iM tg * Br**e* V*. ta* Smalt—HapWt Maturity and Good Slxo tho Yotnfe Sought Aftar by BreoUeorT' A correspondent writes: " I t is gen­ erally conceded that the most profitable weight at which hogs can bo sold on tho general market is about two hundred or two hundred and twenty-five pounds. Why, then, do so.many feeders prefer to buy as breeding stock Borkshlres that at maturity w ill weigh from four hun­ dred to seven hundred pounds? .What used to.be known as the small-boned Berkshire made a.two hundred to three hundred-pound hog at maturity and I would oxpect him to be more in demand than tho largo Berkshire, but for soma reason he is not. Can yon explain?’’ There was $ time when the small- boned, fox-oared Berkshire was fairly well thought of. That was when swine- growers were less impressed than now with the, importance o f making pork without carrying their feeding and' fat­ tening stock through the winter. How- over w ell the small-honed Berkshire p ig might bo fed and cared for during his first summer he could not be made to reach a merchantable size until after he had gone through one winter. On the othor hand, a Berkshire pig o f the large improved stock w ill grow to two' hundred pounds or more in eight or nine'months. Coming early in March or April he goes to market the follow­ ing November or December. The cost o f keeping over winter is saved, and the quality o f the product is superior to that made from a hog eighteen to twen­ t y months old. For like reasons tho large Bronze turkey has rapidly grown in favor; not because o f any special demand. for use on tho table of turkeys weighing twen- ty-flvo to forty pounds each; but be­ cause it is from breeding stock o f these weights that young turkeys o f fourteen to twenty pounds can *bo feared and made ready for tho Thanksgiving and Christmas'markets. A young well-fed turkey ot one Bummer’s growth, if large enough, Is preferred to the older, tough­ er bird of two summors with one season o f snow between. Hut there is another reason why the small-honed lierkshiros have become, ns it were, extinct. Looking into their early history we find them reputed to have come from a cross o f the Italian hog on the large improved Berkshire existing lit England more than sixty years ago. There seems to bo no doubt but that about the time—in- 1880 or a few years lafor—Lord Western was using tbe Neapolitan hog as a cross on tho old Essex hog. The Neapolitan was being used also on other hogs than in England; among them tho large, im­ proved Berkshire, already a well-es­ tablished breed, noted as tho producer of a larger proportion o f sweet, tender, well-marbled moat than any other breed of swino fhc|t known. Tbe cross of- tho improved Berkshire with tho Neapolitan gave a hog of less size, but with a greater tendency to fat­ ten when young and to lay/on fat sepa­ rate from the lean. Ho wati classed with tho so-called middle breeds in England, and lias by manywritors been confound­ ed.with tbe truo improved Berkshire of earlier origin. lie was not, however, tho hog to mako tho namo Berkshire famous wherever on tho ono hand tho choicest hams, shoulders and bacon wore in demand, or on the other a vig­ orous, hardy, grazing and good-feeding hog was required. The Neapolitan crossed on tho old Essex hog was a success, as soon in tho modern improved Essex swine, though a failure, when crossed on tho large im­ proved Eqglish Berkshire. What in these days aresald, here and there, to bo small-boned Berkshire, are usually the result of tho mating together of young animals, or o f such as are too nearly relatod, followed by neglect and poor feeding o f the pigs when young.— Ph il Thriftoii, in Breeder’s Gazette. - ------- -— * ' • A tool (or cutting com; tobacco, etc., and for clearing up brush is wanted on every farm.
