A Few Facts Concerning Moderate
Drinking.

One of the best mutual life insurance
organizations of the world to-day, is a
London Temperance Company which has
been in existence thirty-two years.
The system of the company now is TO
insure all classes of the community who
are sound in health and addicted to no
bad habits or pursuits. At first 1t only
insured absolute teetotalers. 1t now IN
Sures very moderate drinkers as well.
But it still keeps the two classes separate
IN different ledgers. All pay the same
premiums for the insurance, but the
dividends are divided according to the re-
suits in each ledger ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
distinct from moderate drinkers.
This is the very best test, we take leave
to say, and can be applied, as to the
effects of even the moderate use OF alco
holic liquors, on health and longevity.
Here are healthy men introduced oy
the same agents, examined by the SAINT
doctors, the applications for insurance
carefully scrutinized by the same noa[o
otteetotalers as directors, and what IS the
experience of the company?
The Actuary of the Temperance frcsl-
dent is Mr. Samuel Bener, OF Worio-W.ue
fame in his profession. He is not, hlm-
self, a teetotaler, but he is mathema-
tician, and figures don't err. lie mas Jusss
reported to the directors the results Vi
their last years business.
According to the Carlisle tables OF NOR

Fall Care of Hogs.

IT will now be time for putting up hogs
for tattening, and the quicker they are fit
to kill the more will be the profit Be
fore the weather gets excessively severe
it will require less feed to get them up to
the proper weight. If left till the severe
cold sets in they will have to be supplied
with rations sufficient not only to enable
them to progress with the tattening pro-
cess, but also with an excess of food to
keep up the animal heat. Therefore
those who may be so situated as to enable
them to accomplish it should commence
feeding forthwith First and foremost,
procure for them and mix in their Stops
flour of sulphur tablespoonful for each,
and give it two or three times a week for
two or three weeks Afterward give them
handful of powdered charcoal every
few days, or a mixture of ashes and salt
These condiments act as regulators of the
bowels, and put them in a condition
afterward to do their work of fattening
with great zest. Soft food, such as roots,

tality, there ought to have been 1877 deaths
among the lives Of the teetotalers insured
IN the books Of the company. There
were only 80 deaths-41 less in 1877 than
the tables calculated for. The amount
which ought to have been payable to the
widows and orphans of the deceased tee
totalers was $3.50, 800, in gold The actual
amount payable was only $65,025. The
saving in the temperance section, from
low mortality, was, therefore, no less than
$50 ,265 out of $130,290 The mortality
claims among the teetotalers did not fully
come to so per cent. Of the amount calcu-
lated upon.
On the same laws Of calculations, by
the Carlisle tables Immortality, the death
rate among the moderate drinkers ought
to have been ga persons. The actual
mortality was 1872 individuals, being
IS in excess Of the tables,
This isan enormous per centage beyond
the death-rate Of the teetOtalcrs. The
amount Of claims ought to have been
s244 ,415, gold. The actual claims for the
moderate drinkers came to 1852 SO, being
IS $40 in excess of the sum calculated for
in the tables. This shows a fearful per
centage in excess of the claims in the
Temperance section.
The result of this is, that the teetotalers
insured in this Company receive from
80 to so per cent higher dividends
than the moderate drinkers insured in
the same institution on the same terms
We, personally, receive those dividends,
being for several years now insured in
the same Company, and, therefore, write
of what is within our own knowledge.
When Dr. George w Beard asserted, in
"Stimulants and Narcotics" that we have
no statistics to prove that teetotalers are
healthier, or live longer, than moderate
drinkers, he only wrote in utter ignorance
of the thirty-two years experience OF this
temperance life insurance Institution, and
of the equally satisfactory experience of
other life companies of England, that
insure the lives of teetotalers in dis
tinct section A Friendly Benefit Society
{eetotaD, which has many thousands OF
members in the United Kingdom and
Australia, and which assures for sick AZ
lOwances, weekly, and sum a, death, has
just experienced the same results arising
from the teetotalism of the members. The
sickness and mortality among them has
never been as high as among kindred so
cieties which are non-teetotal, as the ODD
Fellows, the FOrresters, and the Druids of
England and Ireland.
Here ara facts and statistics, as to the
mortality of teetOtalers and moderate
drinkers respectively, which cannot be
gainsayed or refuted. We commend them
to the readers of this Journal as proof
positive of the advantages of total absti-
nence from adj that intoxicates.-P hreho-

A NEWLY-MARRIED COUPLE recently
made their headquarters at the Farmers
Hotel, in Bethany, No, and the young
sters of the town concluded to have some
sport at their expense. They attached a
string to the bell on the hotel, and carried
it of to a distance, and about midnight
commenced tolling it. The landlord sur
missed the cause, and, procuring ladder,
assembled 10 the roof and cut the string.
On his return he found the boys had taken
away the ladder, leaving him on the roof
in his nightclothes. He attempted to
rouse his wife, that she might come to his
rescue, but in vain. TO add to his dis
tress the boys commenced pelting him
with ciods; and in trying to avoid them
he missed his hold and rolled off the
house to the ground. AS bon;face was
pretty fat, he alghted with a simple thud
with no broken bones That ended the
pcrtormance.-FeoJ'5G Transcript.

apples, pumpkins, squashes, should be
first given, and, if cooked, have added
to them meal and bran, the more readily
will they fatten. Soft corn, as husked
out, may then be added to their messes.
Although we cannot hope to induce many
to attend to the process of cooking, still
we have reason to believe that even sup
plying unground corn IN this condition
will result in IA saving of fourth of the
food requisite. And, while treating on
the hog question, we would add a recipe,
given by a veterinary surgeon, for the
prevention of hog cholera, by which dis
ease large numbers Of the sWinish multi
tude have been taken off before their
proper time, much to the damage Of
their owners. If access Is hadtO the fallen
fruit OF the orchard the acid in the fruit
will be found of much advantage to the
pigs, as well as to the orchard itself, mas
much as they will destroy the curculio
and other insects, which cause the fruit to
fall before ripening. But if the disease,
Notwithstanding all precautions, does
make its appearance, it is recommended
to give the animals an emetic, consisting
Of few grains of powdered white helle-
bore, Or veratrum album, given as soon as
the first indications of sickness make
their appearance, which is frequently of
great service in checking the morbid pro
cess. The dose is from two to twenty
grains, according to the age and size Of
the animal, and may be repeated every
halt or three-quarters Of an hour, till the
desired effect (vOmiting) has taken place
The best mode of giving it is to strew it
on the surface of a small quantity of
milk, or to mix it with piece of boiled
potato-either Of which will be taken vol
UNFAIRLY by the patients, unless the disease
has advanced too far already, so that any
appetite is wanting, in which case it may
be mixed with little flour, and be admin
istered in the form Of small, round pills
After the patient has vomited, the further
treatment has to be according TO circum-
stances. In most cases a slight physic of
a few grains of calomel-two to twenty
grains dose-mixed with piece of boil
ed potato, or made into pills with a little
flour and water, will be all that is needed.
Drenches should not be given under any
circumstances, for the drenching itself is
frequently much more dangerous than the
disease against which it is intended to OPP
crate. The food, if the sick animal should
desire to eat, should be easily digestible,
and be given only in small quantities.
AdmiXing a few grains Of carbOlic acid
with each meal may have good results
at least it deserves a trial. When the dis
ease has SO far progressed as to have af-
tected the organic system, the animal had
better be put out Of the way at once, for,
even if / RECEIVERS, it will never regain a
constitution which will make it an object
to raise it.-Agricu7turist.

returned to the ranch by their finders
on Saturday last. Jones was brought
before Justice Logan yesterday for ex-
animation, but owing to the absence Of
material witnesses the examination
was postponed until Friday next at 2

A Queer Comparison.

The Sacramento Union, the leader OF
the Independent movement on the Pa
cltic coast, says that Ben Butler was
beaten In the gubernatorial contest In
Massachusetts, because Of his we'll
known connection with monopolies,
back pay steal, ETC., but the Territorial
Enterprise classes Butler among the
anti.lnoiopolistS, aud says that Butler
and Booth now stand as the leading
advocates Of antl-monopoly aud de-
tenders Of Republican principles. This
ia q slight difference OF opinion, but
how the Enterprise can place Booth,
who was formally read out Of the Re-
publican party la California and who
Is m honest man, In the same list with
Ben Butler. the dishonest and notori-
Gus defender Of Credit Mobilier, back
pay steal, aud other corrupt measures
In Congress, Is beyond our comprehen-
sion. As the Enterprise has been IA
vorably disposed toward Gov. Booth,
1t Is impossible to conceive what It's
motives are In placing him In the same
category with the foul Beast Of Massa-
chusettS.-SiUer State.
