4 Dose for the Doctors.

DR.. Cartwright, ofNew Orleans, gives
to the reading world, the doctors especi-
aliv. through the Boston Medical Jour
nal, the following sad history of the in
fuence of drinking habits among physi-
clans:
The writer is one OF the three physicians
who located in NatcheZ thirty years ago
The newcomers found only one pfactl-
TONER in the city belonging TO the same
Temperance school with themselves.
The couutry.anti the villages tor. fifteen
miles around afforded only three more.
All the rest believed in the hygienic
virtues OF alcoholic drink, and taught
that doctrine by precept and example.
Besides the prac!lcing physicians, there
were ten others in the city and adjacent
country who had retired from the pro-
fessien. They were all temperate. Thus,
including the newcomers, the total
number of temperate physicians, in and
near Natchez, thirty years ago, consisted
of seventeen. OF these five have died.
Their average term of life was about
sixty, ,tllree years. According TO the
Carlisle tables Of mortality, and those
of the Equitable Insurance Company OF
London, seven instead of five would
have been the ratio ofmortality in Eng
land.
On the other hand every physician Of
Natchez and its vicinity thirty years
ago, whether practicing or retired, vino
was in the habit Of tippling, asthe prac-
tice of drinking alcoholic beverages Is
called. has long been numbered with the
dead! Only two of them, who were
comparatively temperate, lived to be
gray. Their average term OF lie ala not
exceed thirty-five years, and the average
term of those who were III the habit OF
taking alcoholic drinks frequently, and
on an empty stomach, did not reach
thirty years. In less than ten years
after thev commenced practice, the
most of them died, and the whole OF
them have subsequently fallen, leaving
not one behing in the city, country OF
village, within twenty miles around
To fill the places of those who died or
retired from the profession, sixty-two
more men settled in NatcheZ and its
vicinity between the years 1924 and
1885, embracing period of ten years,
not counting those OF 1928 already men
toned. Of the sixtytwo Eew-comers,
thirty-seven were temperate, and twen-
five used alcoholic beverages between
meals, though not often TO the extent OF
producing intoXication. OF the thirty
seven who trusted to the hygienic vlr-
tues of natures beverage-piain, una
dulterated water--nine have died and
twenty-eight are living. OF the twenty
five who trusted to the supposed
hygienic virtues of ardent spirits. all are
dead except three, and they have re-
moved to distant parts of the country.
Peace he to their ashes Though mostly
noble fellows, misled by the deceitful
siren, singing the praises of alcoholic
drinks, to live too fast, and to be cut off
in the outset of useful manhood, it is to
be hoped they have not lived in vain, as
by their sacrifices science has gained
additional and important proof of the
fallacy of the theory which attributes
health-preserving properties, in south
ern climate to alcoholic beverages in
any shape or form.

what Grapes to Cultivate.

The Western Rural has the following
in answer to the inquiries of a subscrl-
Der as to the kind of grapes he should
plant:
"The Concord is such q popular yari-
million The bulk of your vineyard
should consist of this variety. The
Hartford Prolific is q good, hardy, early
rjpening variety, but the berries drop
from the punches SO soon that it is not
we'll adapt ed for market. The Isabella
and Catawha are now almost entirely
superseded by better varieties. The
Iona, Israeila, Creveling, Ives Seeding,
and many others are coming rapidly
into favor, but large number of varie-
ties are not desirable for Il small vine
yard.
I'm his work, American Grape Gull
ture.' p. B. Mead, under the head Com
harrison OF Varieties says: We propose
to group the different varities together
for purposes Of comparison.
"FGrst-q we compare them
in quality they will arrange themselves
in the following order: Israella, Adj
rondac, Isabella, CreveliDg, Hartford
Prolific, Concord, Ives Seeding. The
difference between some is quite trifing,
while between others it is very marked.
s'Second-for the t0bte.-lt We COM
pare them for the table, rs articles OF
food. goodness must take precedence,
and thew will assume the same order.
"Third-fOr market.-If We compare
them for market purposes, we must con
slider something besides goodness, be-
cause if grape, however good, will not
carry to market, it loses its market
value; it may be the best grape for wine,
or for the table, for home consumption
but it is clearly not the best for market,
however much it ought to be so. What
is a grape which possesses III itself all
these qualifications? We must look fol
it inside Of this group. We may. not
withstanding, find here Il grape that is
best for market and the table. In time
| our group will no doubt settle Itself III
this wise: IsraeIla, Concord, Isabella
Hartford Prolific, CreveIing. We omit
the Iye~. since it is clearly not table
Irrape. We are at 4 loss how TO p!ace
| the AdironGac; because We have seen il
winter-kill so badly. If this is only i
temporary fault, its excellence must
give it place far in advance OF the
Concord. We think the Hartford is &
better grape than the Concord; but
| though both have the vice Of dropping
their berries, the Hartford is much the
greatest sinner, and we therefore place
! the Concord in advance of it for mark ct
If. however, we add that the berries u
the Concord crack badly, it will reduce
their vicious habits pretty nearly to
level. The Israelia is as hardy as either
of them; ripens before the Concord, is a;
early as the Hartford, infinitely better
than either, and free from the vice o
dropping the fruit. We place the lsa'
bella after the Concord only because il
can not be ripened over so wide sur
face; but where it will ripen it ought
to take precedence of it. So, too, of the
Creyeling. We make no comparisons fol
wine, because we DO not consider thi:
group truly wine grapes

How to Have Plenty of Cucumbers.

I had a narrow border, not more than
two and a half feet wide, on tie edge Of
a high fence. planted three cucum-
Der hills in the border, and laid some
brush (suoh as is used for pea vines,) be-
tween them and the fence. AS soon As
they crept up to the brush, l pinched off
the ends of the vine which Ihickened
RAPIDLY around the roots. and in every
direction, throwing out the most vigor-
Gus foliage and prOfusion offiowers.
| did not allow tt e cucumbers 10 grow,
but watched them. and such as | wish
to reserve for the table L picked as soon
as they become of proper size; and all
the rest were gathered every day for
pickles; every day pinching offthe bud
at the end of zach shoot. In this way
the hill continued fresh and productive
until they were touched by frost. Some
Judgment can be formed of the value of
this practice when 1 add that more than
q barrel of pickles were made from three
hills, besides allowing a supply for the
table.
Whenever leaf began to look rusty
or yellowish, it was removed, and the
encounters and leaves were cat Off with
large scissors, so as not to disturb or
wound the vine. There is an advantage
in having them run upon brush instead
of trailing over the ground; because they
are much injured by being trodhen on,
and by being kept low on the bushes
they can be easily aud thoroughly eX-
amined over every day, which is essen
tial, because if cucumbers are overlook
ed, and grow very large, ii stops the
yield of that vine.-[ H0rticuiturist.
