Why* Mart Smith, who was a strict church­ man, couldn’t do anything with one o f hisengines during Lent After Easter day the disinclination to make time dis­ appeared. "When once a locomotive has lost force of character or self-respect, docs alioever regain it?” was asked "Generally not," said Boweher, med­ itatively. “ I know a- recent ease in which an engine recovered from a stroke of. this paralysis and became, as sbjfV to-day, the best bn the road. v m New « { the shop brand new, a little more than a year ago, she was successively pat in the Hands of a half dozen of the best engineers on the road to make the inn from Luitayetto to New Albany. . "After a fair trial every man, with* out exception, pronounced No. 71 an utterly worthless piece o f machinery. The general superintendent heard of the engine and ordered her condemned* but the master mechanic blurted out to him: ‘“ She doesn’t like the run. It’a mighty mean run* and she knows it as well as you d o / "You see the master mechanic wanted the locomotive to have another chance. , Well, she got it, and I tell, you it was to have been her last one She'd have been sold for scrap iron or run off the track into a forest and con verted into the motive power for a saw­ mill.

She can pull a vestibule train of five cars a mile a minute Now she’s the pet* the ‘btfnnar’ engine of the road. A month ago she was in a fair way to be turned out to die, but now nothing is too rich for her blood. She has the best engineer and fireman and the best attention lb the shop/’ “You speak of the need o f rest, Air. Hovveher. Must it be regular? 1 mean at regular times?" “ Most assuredly,” was the prompt reply. "A locomotive must be allowed to recover her resilience. That’s the word, you have it spelled correctly “ only one 1. Remember a locomotive that pulls out its breath in the round* house (where it has been in a state of quiet and rest), backs up to a big train and, at the sound o f the conductor’s hell, rashes off OUa hundred-mile run, utility or sixty miles an hour, is under a heavy nervous strain. Don’ t smile, mean exactly what I say. “ Every atom in the molecular Strue* w oof the steel And iron composing It Is at the highest tension. The engine literally is out to do or die! To fall In making the run on schedule time once or twice arouses suspicion. The moment an angina to rtafcafl •* «** *\ngino No. 71, oq the Louisville, Ibany & Chicago road, came out trustworthy hep decadence has begun. Unless she has a friend at court, as No. 71 had, her doom, 'is fixed. “ This brings me to another point. Some engineers have a way of punish* ing engines that are refractory, Yes, indeed. They can abuse a locomotive worse than the most brutal driver caii maltreat his . horse. How? Twenty ways. For instance, they cun giv$ the engine less coal while ex­ acting the same speed, less oil on the hearing by pulling the throttle wide open oti the slightest pretext. Of course such men arc always In trouble. “ They burst» cylinder head by leav­ ing the water-cocks closed to spite the engine, or they allow the hearings to heat, swell and jam. The element or danger is largely increased when such a man is in the cab. Anything ialiable to happen i f ,he has a cranky engine that can get just as stubborn as her master. Xoften am impressed with the idea that, some engines are mortal. (Speaking o f mortals, did you ever hear o f a haunted engine?” - •‘No. Are there such beliefs among engineers?” “Exactly the same superstitions that sailors have about ships. Take the case o f the-Matt Morgan, belonging to the Shore line and running from New Ha­ ven to Bdston by way of Providence. I never have seen the beast but I’d go to New Haven to see her. She began her career with a homicide. Ten years ago she blew up while standing in the track near the station in Providence, killing her engineer. She was promptly rebuilt and sent back to service. On the first trip that she made after being rebuilt She went tearing into Providence in the night with the train swinging behind and the sleeping town echoing to the shrill whistle. (In approaching the station the engi­ neer leaned forward to shut off the steam, hut to his horror a ghostly form appeared at his side and a ghostly hand grasped his- whist and held him fast. When the station was reached the ghost disappeared and the engineer stopped the train some distance beyond. At least, this is what the engineer tells. He says the same thing still happens at intervals.” I have heard that most engineers have a superstition regarding a certain switch somewhere on their run. What do you know about that?" was the next inquiry. “ It is true of nearly every express engineer I know. Yes, among the best of them. Bid you ever hear of dear old John Brunton, of the Cleveland, Colum­ bus & Indianapolis? Hemode the same run I’m now doing for over fifteen years. He was a thoroughly religious man. respected bv everybody. He was as brave as a liuuibut1Wflffhever he ap­ proached the switah, two miles east of Silver Lake, ho’d»get right down on his knees and pray for the safety o f the train—tho human lives committed to his care. “ The switch was at the head o f a very long and heavy ‘fill,’ and to run off the. embankment thirty or forty feet high meant death to nearly everybody. I don’t tlunk he ever prayed personally for himself, but he certainly felt the awful responsibility for the hundreds o f travelers behind him. Strange as it may seem, I never heard even, an. oiler in the shops, much less any of the many firemen who had been in the cab with John, refer slightingly to his prayers." “ What other curious foots have you observed about engines?" “ I am almost afraid to toll you this; hut in my forty years' experience I have detected, on several occasions, evidences of something like nervous prostration in a locomotive after a pro­ longed responsibility has been put upon it—such os hauling the paymas­ ter, or the president of the United States, or a. bridal party, fn which the bride was the daughter o f the owner of the goad. Why, the story is still told in Chicago about the famous George Cates, one of the most fearless men who ever sat in a cab. “Old Commodore Vanderbilt liked to travel fast, and when ha went out on a special train the track was kept clear, .and thj engineer knew {Eat tho quicker lie got over the ground the bettor bis chief would 1 m ? pleased. Catos was brought east to take the train from Cleveland to Chicago. He knew cvery- inch Of the road, and got through to Toledo in great shape. Another engine had been ordered to be ready, but by some misunderstanding the right one was not* fired up. The one he was offered was a machine that Cates wa« afraid of. “ Or it may have been that a freight engine was offered through the bltin* der of the roundhouse men. Whatever the reason was Cates refused to take the new engine, and decided to run his own through to Chicago. He kpew the risk and took the precaution to get the division superintendent to order the best locomotive in the shops fired and to follow the aptolal train as a relief. The trouble oame at a little village about forty miles from Toledo. Sud­ denly the engine quit working.

THE EFFECTS Q F A, Scientific Analysts o f Liquors and Their IntoxU-atlnfr Properties, All intoxicants consist of water* a number of other substances dissolved in it, and alcohol. Every person knows that the latter is the only thing that causes men to drink any kind of liquor, A quart of Madeira wine, for instance* consists of two pounds and a little over four ounces of water; two ounces of gummy and tartareous mat­ ter; a little over two ounces o f an oily; resinous matter; and two ounces and over of alcohol. Take out the alcohol, and the remainder o f the Madeira wine is a nauseous mess, which no one would think of drinking. Take the al­ cohol out of beer, and it is a sour slop, which no sane man would dream of taking into his mouth. Whisky con­ sists of nearly equal parts of water and impure alcohol, the latter containing fusel Oil' and some essential oils de­ rived from the grain, which give it flavor. It is the alcohol’ which'-pro*, duces intoxication, if imbibed in suf­ ficient quantity. There is nothing else in any intoxicant which would com­ mend it to the palate of any man. Now, the scientific verdict as to alc'o-' hoi is that it is a poison, no more, no less; and we propose in this article to show the manner in which it acts upon the human system. Alcohol, as a poi­ son, acts upon the nerve centers. Its effects, in the opening stages are mod­ ified in various ways by the tempera­ ment of the individual. Its action is generally at first to fill the person with a serene and perfect self-complacency. His feelings and faculties are rendered more intense from the stimulation of the nerves by. the poison. With most persons this is shown by - increased vivacity of language and a tendency to talk much more than is usual. As intoxication progresses, the senses gradually become hazy, a soft hum­ ming seems to fill the pauses in the conversation, a filmy haze obscures the vision, the victim finds it difficult to preserve his equilibrium; next, objects, appear double, or flit confusedly before the, eyes; the drunkard becomes bois­ terous, ridiculous; articulation becomes difficult, and he finally falls to the ground insensible—that is, he is “dead drunk.” From this state, after a period of deep slumber, he awakes exhausted, feverish, sick and giddy, with throb-, bing head, ringing ears and bloodshot eyes. . ; The poison first affects the lobes of the brain, and the other nerve centers of the cerebro-spinal system are suc­ cessively brought under the influence of- the poison until, in the state com­ monly known as “ dead drunk." the only nerve centers that nro not par­ alyzed ora those which are known os tbe automatic centers, which regulate and keep up respiration and the circu­ lation. Enough alcohol can bn taken, however, to paralyze these, in which case the deep sleep of .drunkenness be­ comes a stupor* and then passes into death. There 1 b a parallel between apoplexy and Intoxication. To be' drunk is sim­ ply to be apoplectic. Such is the action of alcohol upon tho nervous system, and its action upon the other parts of the body are no less injurious. When an alcoholic drink is taken into the stom­ ach the alcohol is rapidly absorbed through the coats of that organ and posses directly into the circulation. Experiments have been tried in which wine was administered in capsules, bo that not one particle touched the in­ terior of the mouth or throat; yet in two or three minutes the odor o f alco­ hol was noted on tho breath, showing that in that short time it had been ab‘ sorbed, passed into the blood and was being expelled by the lungs. Getting into the circulation it is car­ ried with the blood to every part of the system. That which goes to the brain produces successively the' symptoms •numerated above; that carried to the lungs begins to be expelled with the expired breath of jhrin nismi 'I’fiT* sued with alcohol, in passing through the liver seta up an irritation which frequently causes on incurable disease to that very important o rg an - cirrhosis of the liver, better known as “ hobnail liver"—the kidneys are stimu­ lated and irritatod,and long Indulgence in the drinking habit leads to incurable disorders. The skin is also affected and does its part in expelling the alcohol from the system. In point of fact all the excretory organs set at work as soon as the alcohol gets into the Bys­ tem, in the endeavor to ritf the body of the poison. The liver, kidneys, lungs and skin are all overstimulated in this effort. We hope we have made it clear in this .brief resume of the action o f at- cohjol that it is absolutely and entirely a poison. It is in no sense a food. It injures the brain, the nerves, over­ excites the heart, irritates the stom­ ach* liver and kidneys; never does any good, but always harm. There is no reason against and every reason for putting its Sale and use under the same restrictions and precautions asj the sale of any other poison. Why, then* is this not done? Simply because1 there is too much money iti the businessp f selling rum. It is the gain that comes to those whose occupa­ tion it Is to manufacture and sell it; that has thrown together for mutual protection all these people. They use their influence, and their wealth, and the power they have over the besotted victims o f drink, to prevent as far as possible any interference by the state with their debasing andMul-degtroyinf occupation. There is a vast amount of ignorance among the people as to the real nature of alcohol. It is the fewer number of our people, even at this date, who are convinced that alcohol is a poison; and this ignorance of the masses is one of the bulwarks of the traffic. We need ■ more education, especially in the fam­ ily, in the church, and in the common schools, as to the real nature and effect o f this potent poison.—Toledo Blade. STRONG DRINK. Christianity tlie Only 'X'hu.c# gli and h ilt- in i Bemudy. ’ All the statistics that have been gathered by temperance organizations, governments or individuals in regard to the consumption of strong drink in our own and other countries hfcYe been of tho most discouraging character for years. -And, notwithstanding all efforts that have been made to promote reform by moral suasion, by restrictive and prohibitory legislation, the evil is con­ stantly increasing.. In 1881 the consumption of beer was 8.05 gallons, and of spirits 1.38 gallons per capiteL In 1882. of beer, 10.03; o f spirits, 1.40 gallons for every man, woman and child in the United States. In 1890 the quantity of beer consumed gives 13.00 gallons of beer for each in­ habitant of the country and 1-40 gal­ lons of spirits. This would amount to 855,792,335 gallons o f beer, which, with the spirituous liquors used, nvust have cost the consumers not less than §900** 000,000, In England, France, Germany, and probably in almost all other countries, the ratio of increase is equal to our own. The revenue to both the govern­ ments of England and. France from the use of strong drink was larger by mil­ lions of dollars in .1890 than for tbe pre­ ceding year. • With the increase of the use ol ; strong drink; there has been a corre­ sponding increase "ot .those crimes' which result from it, A very large proportion o f the cases brought before our criminal courts may be traced to the use of liquor in some. form. Our jails and penitentiaries are filled with men, many of whom were crazed by drink when they commtttedjthe crimes for which they are imprisoned. Our newspapers make daily records of as­ saults and melees, of rioting and kill­ ing occasioned by the .use of liquor, No one can have an adequate concep­ tion of the poverty, misery-aadMKMteh* edness brought upon countless hornet nil over our land by this foolish and wicked drink habit. Siust this evil go on? Go on without abatement, even increasing? Shall we conclude that “ high license” is a fail- . urei and prohibition ineffective, and that we may as well allow the saloon to have full sway? No, the battle for prohibition must not be given up. The work for reform must bo pushed.' The vantage ground must be held. The liquor evil, like all other evils, must have' its Appomattox. But it should be remembered that the only* really complete and effective rem- - edy for the removal of this great evil is the Gospel of Christ. “ For the grace of God that bringetli salvation hath ap­ peared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodly and woldly lusts, we should live sobc, y* righteously and godly in this present world." Any attempt to change the habits of men or reform the drunkard while hia nature is left unchanged by the grace of God, will result in failure. .As the late Dr, Gumming once Bald: “ You might as well attempt to deaden a tree by lopping off a few- of the branches.” All thorough and complete reforma­ tion of the man must begin at the heart. To rightly reform the drunk­ ard, you must convert him. The Gos­ pel o f Christ is the only element that will transform society, -It is “ the little leaven that leaveneth ' the whole lump.” Christian men do not traffic in intoxicating drinks, nor patronize tbe Baloon, neither do they lie, or cheat, or swear.
