Tuhlo Autocrats Sup pressed.
Among many changes in tho social

of talk, writes ii. W. Ninilley, tho Lon

reminiscences of tho last fifty years, art
full of tho renown of great talkers. .Mn
caulay may be taken as a typo of them.
1 have asked a number of persons who
knew Macaulay well, who met him often,
who inndo part of the world he lived in,
whosat with him at table, who li-teued
to him, whether his immense reputation
Was deserved, and whether ho would

said a talker, whoso conversation ranged
over three generations, "did not talk,
ho lectured, lie choo his subject, it
mattered little what, and he delivered a
discourse on it. Now, no dinner table
would stand it; he would be stopped,
contradicted, his long storie vetoed ; no
monopoly or monopolist is tolerated. H
you wanted to know about titceu Anne
you could go homo and rea l a cyclo

ubovo all, briefly. 'I ho autocrat w ho

Alcohol and llornllty.
In. It. F. Sinclair, in a reis-nt lertnre on
"What Science nays al oat Alcohol, "sars:
"( n the central nervous system or brain,
Irohol produce most disastrous rlleets;
whereas tbe most of Its other aet oim are
confined more or less to the eion who
ahaorbs or drink th liquor. In its action
on the brain alcohol so alters the strm tore
of that organ that the children of such a
drink habitually inherit frequently a more or
lees altered nervous system.
"If thore is one truth now, more than
another, pretty securely tsitabllstie't, It is
this, that Just as parents transmit to their
children their physical contitution and their
features, so do they as enrtainly transmit to
them their mental characters. Kvrn the
simplest action that woiio.au speaking, or
lifting up the arm, aro actions that ile-nd
on the healthy condition or the lira in. And
a particular part of the hrain is devoted to
such an action as simnkiug, and if that por
tion of the I rain, hikmi the healthy condition
of which dciiemla tho action of eak
nfC. were, by disease or accident,
to be destroyed or injured, then we
would lose this faculty or speech: so that
all hough we might understand everything
Sniil, y't we rould not reply lv speech. Now
wo nnd that tricks of manner, ns well as of
speech, are often transmitted to children by
their inrrnts. lint ns thee ttnti-initti d
habits of ssech and action nie, as we havo
seen, dependent on train action, it is clear,
that in order that thei hild should I e able to
manifest tin se net ions, it must have inherited
a brain modillcd by Us parent, so in to ren

"Now 'alcohol has a very powerful action
In modifying nml altering the brain ul-stniu-e,
nnd, thereby, of muddying its no

children of parents that drink are often tlm
victims in many cases, of an intense craving
for alcohol, ami where this crnving has from
various reasnns not bis-n drxeloped, the chil
