THE Supreme Court sitting in Nashville
has q case now under consideration of
some interest. The defendant was in
dicted in the Criminal Court at Nashville
for retailing "spirituous liquors on the
Sabbath day, was tried and convicted.
The facts Of the case are that he was SELL
ing lager beer on Sunday, and the defense
now made in the Supreme Court is that
lager beer is not "spirituous" liquor and
therefore its sale is not prohibited by stat
ute. The counsel for the defense claim
that if the statute meant to exclude ale
and beer, it would have excluded them
in the prohibition. The statute aims at
the sale. The first act passed in Tonnes
see on the subject-the act of ISL
made plain distinction between spiritu~
Gus and fermented liquors. Counsel in
sists that ale and beer in no single instance
are denominated "spirituous liquors." In
Caswell & Hill VS.. the State, , Hump, p.
1929, Judge Turley says: "The question
is whether wine is a spirituous liquor
within the meaning of the statute passed
in the year 1887, ch. 12O, Code 4S59>60,)
making tia misdemeanor to sell spirituous
liquors. I think not Wine is ferment>
ed liquor. Spirits are distilled liquors."
Quotations were made from the Code to
show that the distinction between spiritu>
Gus and malt or fermented liquors has been
recognized by the Legislature and the
courts from 1911 to the present day, with
single exception, and the lawmakers
during the whole history of their legisla>
ton, fully and emphatically sustain Judge
Turley in the distinction he has drawn.
Such are the positions of the counsel for
the defense. Thequestion is one of impor>
lance and the decision of the court will be
looked to with interest.

Charcoal for Cattle,

An exchange says that the use OF charcoal as
well as salt has been highly recommended for
ton and help their general Improvement. Salt
acts healthily on the blood. Charcoal strength
ems and heals the mucous membranes through
out the alimentary canal, and increases the
power OF the digestive organs, healing any un-
healthy condition existing there. 1t prevents
worms generating In the stomach, etc, it alb
serbs the putrescent gases by which worms are
generated, and they subsequently die. The free
use OF salt and charcoal will contribute to pro-
tect cattle from epidemics, and counteract the
ehects OF putre scent or septic water.
Many farmers have, doubtless, noticed that
cattle and sheep are remarkably healthy when
running IN fields recently burned OFF, among the
charred stumps and logs. We have known a
mock ol sheep poor IN flesh to improve to that
extent when permitted to run among charred
logs for afew weeks that they would bring

"Ehe Man Ross -

The London newspaper reporters of p9rlia-
mcDtSTy proceedings are canGd gallery men,

Charles Ross, the Chief OF the London TIM

to the passage in the reporter turn, beginning
"Nr. Ward Hunt said"

''Yes. yes" impa'ientiy interrupted ChacI3y,
''but who's Mr.. Ward Hdnt?"
"Why. sir, be was chancellor Of the exche-

PURE WATER ANTAGoNIsTIO TO PUBLIC
HEALTH.-A writer in the Constitutional de-
votes AN article tO''The Public Health of Europe
and the dangers OF Pure Water" Citing the
heavy roll of diarrhea cases in England, the in
stances OF isolated cholera in London and Paris,
and the iBfantile cholera In America, he argues
that these maladies come, most frequently, not
so much from heat as from improper diet, and
that very common cause is the use of pure or
seemingly pure water. 1t is certain, according
TO this writer, that the wster purest in appear
ance frequently contains thousands OF germs OF
all sorts, only visible through the microscope
perhaps eggs or germs more obscure still-ths
development of which, in the human body, pro-
duces morbid affections, isolated maladies and
even epidemics. The most effective means of
counteracting the dangers of pure water is BY
boiling, by which all perniciouS germs are de-
stroyed. The writer recommends, therefore,
tea and coffee, though he also says that wines,
and even stroll ger liquors, are good. a alcohol
destroys these microscopic germs in water TIA Al

Two Much Credit,

MT. Keene, q serewd and thrifty farmer of
AlenbcIough, owned large flock Of sheep,
and one autumn, when it came housing time
he was greatly annoyed upon missing number
OF his finest muttonS, among them three or four
wetheTs, which he had raised and fattened for
his own table. He was sure il was not the work
OF dogs, but the most he could do was to await
further developments. In the following spring
when the sheep were turned out to pasture he
instituted a careful watch, and ere long he de-
tected Tom Stickney, neighboring farmer, in
the act OF pilfering sheep; but he made no
noise about II at the time. Stickney was a man
well-to-do, and Keene didn t care to expose him,
Autumn came again, and upon counting up his
hock, Mr.. Keene found eight sheep missing He
made out bill in due form 10 Thomas Stickney
Tor the eight sheep, and presented it Stickney
choked and stammered, but did net back down,
Like prudent man, he paid the bill and pock-
eted the receipt. Another spripg- time came
and Mr.. keenes sheep were agaia turned out
Another autumn came, and the farmer again
took an account of his stock, and this time fif-
teen sheep were missing. As before, he made
out the bill to Tom Stickney for the whole num-
Der missing; but this time Tom objected.
Its too much of q good thing" said he
"Fiiteen sheep! Why, bless your soul, [ hsdn ,

" This is the BILL" said he, "and | have
made it out in good faith. L h ave made no fuss
when my sheep have been missing, because |

A Cats Dream

Animals especially the dog, cat, and parrot,
often indulge in the luxury of dreams. A cor
respondent OF Land and Water tells the follow
ing anecdOte OF a cat:
"She was very still, and appeared to be fast
asleep. when suddenly she surang into the mid
Gle of the rocm, where she fixed her feet on a
limited spot on the floor, 10 which also her nose
was applied, as if closely graSpIng something
she held in her claws. This continued for a
short time, when the nose was gently raised,
and the visible attention was directed to the
feet, which still continued their grasp; but af-
ter time one OF them was gradually removed.
and then the other, at which puSs appeared
greatly at loss TO imagine whether the imagin-
AIRY object could have gone, so as to escape her
grasp. She looked in various directions along
the floor, with foolish face of confusion: and
then again her attention was directed to the
spot on which the feet were irst closely pressed,
as if to examine closely whether the presumed
escape had been by sinking through the floor;
and when this seemed unsatisfactory the dis
appointed animal, now widely awake retired
slowly from the spet; but she returned more
than once TO re-examine tho place, as il she
found IL impossible to comprehend how an OBJ
ject she had so plainly seen and gTasped should
have sunk into nothing. Many minutes elapsed
before the cat appeared to be reconciled to the
conviction that what had been a dream was not
in truth a reality.n

How the French Bald Mansard Roof,

The French, with whom the Manssrd roofs
originated, construct it in manner which COM
blnes safety and elegance. Instead of placing
wooden or IRON frames on the top of substantial
brick walls, they carry up the latter to the ex-
ueme height required. From the line where
the Roof commences the bricks are corbelled in
side at each course; that Is, the end of each
brick slightly projects over the one which is
laid. A standing front is thus obtained for the
roof, which, up 10 its highest point, is as solid
as the walls OF the house. The angles of the
brick on the outside are smoothed over, and the
slate is laid directly on the sloping brick wall
A coat of plaster is then laid on the inside the
finishing touches are then given, and the Man
sard roof Is as solid as any part of the house. or
which 81 is the most elegant feature. IL would
be well for our insurance companies to examine
the different methods of construction in use here
as well as in Paris. Ii the Mansard roof can be
constructed in a manner which makes it as safe
AS any other, there certainly are 10 reason TO
abandon so tasteful a feature in our domestic
architecture.

CAUSE OF POWER IN THE RIGHT HANO.-In
paper read before the Chirurgcal Society OF
London, DR.. Ogle states it as his belief that the
superiority OF the right hand, in work req uirng
strength and skill, is not due merely TO custom
and usage. His reasons for this opinion are tn at
the superior power OF the right side is not con-
fined to the arm, but extends TO the leg and tn at
ii commences in the arm before use or educa-
ton begins ard continues in spite of all efforts
TO resist or divert it. This superiority has re-
semblance TO some malformatious, in asmuch as
1t is hereditary, and is met with more frequently
and parrots. The author further asserts that
the left side of a right handed man is greater
than the right, and rice rersa, and he suggests
that this greater development of the left side is
due to the greater quantity of blood which
receives.
