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.
All Escaped but Him,
Mrs, Hastymateh—I had a dozen pro-
posals before yours, all from smarter
men than you too. Mr. Hastymatch--
They must have been. How did they
manage to crawl out of it?
She Murders It.
