1907. Bellefonte, Pa., January a, DELIRIUM TREMENS. Cause and Symptoms of a Dreadful Disease From Alcohol. The conclusive symptom of chronic inebriety is delirium tdemens, “the hor- rors,” says Mr. Hilburn. None but the true inebriate gets it, and most inebri- ates get it sooner or later, though some | escape the actual delirium that is its typical feature. It must not be con- fused with alcoholic insanity, the vio- lent dementia brought on in some per- sons by amounts of alcohol often too small to cause intoxication. True de- lirlnm tremens is literally the result of soaking. It comes on when the tis- sues are saturated with alcohol. Usu- ally it appears at the end of a long spree, or, in the case of a steady drink- er, when he has been taking more than his usual allowance. But as alcohol re- mains in the tissues from three to eight days, the delirium may develop some | time after the spree, whereupon the | victim usually aseribes it to the fact that he gave up alcohol and took to water. It is a state of collapse, insom- nia, trembling, acute terror and usu- ally violent delirium, which lasts from two to five days. “Menagerie deliri- um,” the vision of violet mice and iri- descent snakes, generally supposed to prevail, is not very common, snakes being rarer than other animals. The ordinary delirium centers about the usual occupation of the patient. Its violence can be judged by the degree to which his visions are independent of his will, and by the terror they cause him. A teamster, for instance, usually drives horses in his delirium. If they obey him, he will get well, but if they back against his orders or bolt, he is thrown into a state of extreme terror and is pretty certain to die. The delusions of a first attack are always terrifying, but in later recurrences the experienced drinker is often aware of his condition and watches his own hal- lucinations with a sort of impersonal amusement. The supposedly harmless malt liquors are slower in bringing on delirium tremens than whisky, but usually bring on uglier attacks. Con- trary to general opinion, they are re- sponsible for a considerable share of the inebriety of this country. Some years ago Dr. Charles I. Dana, at that time visiting physician to Bellevue hospital, recorded the form of liquor used by nearly 200 inebriate patients. A third drank whisky, nearly a third beer and whisky and a quarter malt liquors altogether. The rest took any- thing that contained alcohol. There are virtually no wine drinking inebriates in this country.—American Magazine. House Painting Problem, “Since we've moved to Jersey and lived in a wooden house,” sald the bride, “I've evolved a new theory as to house painting. I'm thinking of writing a book, ‘Every Man His Next Door Neighbor's House Painter. 1 think red with cream trimmings is the prettiest color for a house surrounded with green grass and trees, and we've had our house at Fusilade painted that way. The neighbors, we find, all agree that it is hideous. Now, why should I, who comparatively seldom get a view of the outside of my own house, be al- lowed to inflict a nightmare on those who regard it as such, yet have to gaze at it by the hour perhaps? My next door neighbor, a poor, pallid in- valid who ought to rejoice in red, loathes it, yet is obliged to see our house every time she looks from the sitting room where she spends her dreary life, while I, in turn, from the windows of my sewing room have to look directly at the cold, inhospitable gray of their house, the blues. We could enjoy their house if it were painted to suit us, and they | could enjoy ours if it were according to their taste, so I'm going to start a reform, and everybody shall paint not his own house, but his next door neigh- bor's.”—New York Press. The Artful Squirrel. You may find many a squirrel in the course of your tramp, but no two alike exactly in their method of attempted means of escape or concealment. The ways and ineans of the little rascals are legion. One may flatten himself against a gray patch on the back of a tree trunk, absolutely motionless, and unless in your earnest, steadfast looking you can detect an ear or a shoulder in relief against the sky you might as well abandon search. Another may lie along a bough flattened at full length, which gives me | easily silhouetted. Still another may crouch down up in a fork, and here the thing to look for is the fluffy tip of that little signal flag which always works and waves and jerks and signals so bravely when dan- ger is not in the air, or one may gather himself up in a bunch to imitate a knot or knob, and here he can very well tell when you have spied him out. He will catch your eye, even as you catch the eye of an acquaintance in a crowd and will instantly limber up for headlong flight, leaping from tree to tree till he vanishes over the ridge.—Field and Stream. Origin of the Cigarette, The Aztecs, it is believed, are re- sponsible for the cigarette. The Span- jards first got a whiff of the cigarette when they invaded Mexico under Cor- tes. The Aztecs then used tobacco in no other form, and the Spaniards learn- ed from them how to roll the little package into smokable shape. They introduced the cigarette into Europe, and by that route it found its way into America, though it was nearly 200 years reaciing here. The Aztecs were also using cocoa and its produet, choe- olate, when Cortes conquered them, and it was not long until the whole of Eu- rope was eating the various prepara- tions of this bean. When the Span- jards first tasted it they named it theo- broimnus, from the two Greek words meaning “food of the gods.” A Pretty Experiment. A very pretty effect may be produced by using some aniline dye in powdered form in alcohol. Fill a small glass with the alcohol and drop the smallest portion of the dye on its surface. It will shoot down through the liquid, like a strand of color, dividing into two branches, which will subdivide again and again until you have, apparently, an inverted plant in miniature growing before your eyes. An arrangement of mirrors may be made to throw the re- flection of this on a screen or a wall, and the enlarged shadows will be very interesting to watch, The Revolver. The revolver is of dubious service in war. Its only function there is as a cavalry weapon. Indeed, it is an evo- lution of the mediaeval purpose to pro- vide horse soldiers with a firearm. In the cavalry the weapon is effective only up to fifty yards. It has no value for hunting. The average man can do more execution on birds and beasts with a slingshot. The only purpose which the revolver serves is to kill another man, and even for that pur pose its usefulness Is overestimated.— New York Mali Where the Audience Was. A London actor appearing at a cheap theater in. Salford found so small an audience that he sought out the man- ager for an explanation. “You see,” the manager told him, “my people are at the Halle concert.” “Oh,” the actor sald, surprised, “I should hardly have thought vour patrons would care much for high class music.” “No,” the other explained: to tell the truth, they go to pick pockets.” Trouble For Nothing. To smuggle a human skeleton into Canada from Detroit a medical stu- dent dressed it in female attire and, seating it by his side in a buggy, cross- ed over the boundary line. After he got safely into his house he learned that there is no custom duty on tkele- tons.
