NEW WHISKY AND BAD HUMOR.

Obseivprs of national characteristics liave noticed that tiie younger race of Irishmen are devoid of the sparkling J unior of their elder countrymen. The reason was partially explained by witnesses btlorc Sir Lyon Playfairs Committee of the Commons inquiring into the desirability of compelling the bonding of spirits for a definite time. Drinking new whisky is the cause. In consequence, of the demand for lowpriced spirits in the most distressful' country, a great deal of “ Irish ” is removed for consumption within six mouths after manufacture. The cry at the present time is for cheapness, and, s.) say the witnesses, it is impossible to combine this quality with maturity. Tho.e who drink ‘ Old Irish.” whose creotolic compounds liave become mellowed with age, have a chance of retaining the humor of their fathers, in which respect the members of (be lie use of Commons ai e particularly favoured, as Dr principal analyst at bumerset Douse, stated that both the “Irish” and “Scotch” vended there was the most genuine “ pot-still spirit which had been bonded for some years.” TIIE •: DINES OF SHIPS AND OF MEN.

her voyage from New York to Liverpool,pncl ■with an accident by which her engines were completely disabled, leaving her helpless on the sea. She carried a large number of passengers. and great anxiety was felt concerning her in Europe and America. 'How* she was finally towed ihto'Queonstown Harbour will be remembered by the public. “ Well, what of it ?” you say. ‘‘ They afterwards'.fdund out how it happened, and repaired tbs gugineUand no lives were lost.”' Very lrue7 but'wait a moment. Because you never go lo Sea, do you think the sudden destruction of a ship’s engine has no lesson for yon ? How shortsighted men a-e ! Did you ever lie on your bed at home, or on a cot in a hospital, helpless as a log? What ailed you? Some disease. What is disease ? It is an accident to' your vital machinery. What’ do the doctors try todoforyou To ,i cui-o’ you. Yes, of Course.' Suppose wo say “ repair ” you ; it comes to the same thing, for wc are kept alive and going by certain organs or engines inside the body. When they are out of order an 1 ,work badly, wo are ill ; when they stop, we die. Do you see the force of the illustration ? t ' '■ •

Sometimes a man’s machinery is never right from the hour of Ins birlb. Here is a short story one man tells about himself which will show what we mean., He says • “ One ship is never weak because another is, but a baby may be weak because its parents were, or some of its ancestors. It is spoken of in the family that when I was an infant, I did nothing but sleep. Now-, a'healfliy infant ought to sleep most of tbotiaiej but not nil the time. He should laugh, play, cry, kick; and take notice of thing : . My mother was bothered about it,-and' saw the doctor, who said it was owing to the sluggish elate of my liver. Nevertheless, I lived and grew up'a* millions of children do. But '’lnhtiHteo discasb makes its mark sooner or later, according lo circumstances. “ About five years ago I began lo feel bad. I didn’t know what was the matter with me. I had bad taste in my mouth, a slimy tongue and felt languid and tired, and had no' ambit inn for work. My appetite failed, and when I did eat, under a sort of compulsion I had great-pain after’iL I went oil in this way until the spring of 1888, when i had a very severe attack, and was Geared in Bartholomew’s Hospital for some time, tnit I crime out still weak, and a little later on i was so bad I broke down completely, and took lo my bed. ’ Matters how looked very seiious for me. 1 “ The first doctor who came to see me was not able to give any relief, and my people etched another, as my condition had become ahinniiiy. I got worse, aid was in great agony. I bad pains all over me, but more particularly in the bowels, where the, pain was intense. The 'bowels were stopped, or constipated, and the doctor seemed puz/.'ecl. One day lie said, ‘ I cannot account for your condition.’ 1 now began .o think «b t was boat to be done. Yet what could 1 do? “ I had heard of a medicine called Mother Seigol’s Curative Syrup which was said to be a most remarkable cure for deep-seated and chronic* cdmplaints where all other remedies were unavailing, but I bud never tried it, and w]i » should I believe in it ? ; Yep how strangely wevaro sometimes led into j adis we have never travelled before !

“ About, tbis time I picked up a newspaper ;iml mul of » case similar to my own (hathad been cured—so I tic writer said—by Motbr S.igd’s Syrup. 1 I decided to risk it, and sent over to Mr Lycr, (be chemist, in Acre Lane, West Brixton, and got. a bottle, and in ten minutes after talcing the first dose I felt relief.

“In my excitement and satisfaction I declared This is the right thing ! “After taking six bottles i found myself in perfect health. Jam a new man. 1 never was in better health in my life, and all the members of my family think of my cure as all the more wonderful owing to my having suffered with liver complaint from ray iui'aoey. I will gladly answer any inquiries about Mother Seigel’s Syrup, and what it did for mo. : ’ (Signed) W Golctapink, 1:20, Acre Line, Brixton, and 19, I'aehbrook Street, Pimlico.

In addition to his inherited weakness of the liver be suffered from deep-seated indigestion and dyspepsia, with an acute attack of .constipation, a dangerous and often fatal complication.
