STATISTICS SHOW that OF the thousands
who die annually, large proportion
are destroyed, not by old age, or by the
natural exhaustion Of vitality, but
through intemperance, or disregard
either on the part Of the sufferer, or his
parents, Of the simplest laws OF nature.
Such being the case-and figures can
not misrepresent Jacts-the conclusion
ia that w6re the causes of intemperance,
its kindred vices, and q dlsregard Of
natural laws, removed, the average
length OF the human lifetime would be
extended proportionately. What agent
most rapidly, harmlessly and certainly
will eradicate these vices, or the ten
dency to them, is the question which
has been as thoroughly and persistent
~ agitated as has the search for the
Philosophers stone. The discovery
has been made by DR.. Joseph Walker,

Treading on q Snakes Tail.

The latest snake story comes from
Connecticut. Some workmen building
a mill among the rocks on Westfield
river killed rattlesnake, and after sew
ering the head from the trunk and cut
ting tho rattles off the tail for keep
sake, kicked the head away into the
sand and threw the trunk into the sun.
A booted boy came along and could not
resist the temptation to worry the dead
snake. He trod on its tail, and the
headless trunk of the reptile turned and
struck the boot as il to bite. The
frightened youth soon had an audience
around him, and the experiment. of
treading on the snakes tail was repeat
eddy tried, with the same result. But
another startling thing was observed.
As often as the carcass coiled and
struck the offending boot, 10 often and
at the self.same instant the grim head,
lying discovered in the dust, opened its
jaws, the deadly fangs protruding, and
closed them with a snap.

A Crusade Conflict.

At Columbus, Ohio, Chas. Wagner,
proprietor of an eating and drinking
house, advertised grand opening, pro-
posing to sell several liquors bearing
the names of "crusade water" and the
names of one or two Of the prominent
ladies connected with the crusade
movement. On seeing this ADVERTISE
ment seventy ladies marched to his
place, and small squad, headed by
Mrs. Dessellem, President of the La
dies League, stepped into the store
and said they had accepted his invita-
ton to free lunch, and would like lit
tie crusade water. Wagner refused to
give or sell them any.
They then attempted to pass into the
dining room and Wagner ordered them
from his premises. They refused to go,
saying he had invited the public, and
they as q part of the public came to get
their share of the good things. Wagner
then seized several of the ladies and
pushed them out of doors. he then
grabbed Mrs. Dessellem by the arm and
pushed her toward the door, and some
of the ladies say struck her, but several
men present say he only pushed her.
Wagner's wife then seized Mrs. DIESEL
lem by the throat while Wagner began
his work on the other ladies. Men from
the outside rushed in, and for time q
war of words and some little scuff1ing
took place.
A posse of police arrived and the
trouble was over for the time. A large
crowd congregated in the street and
blocked the sidewalk, which was soon
cleared by the police, who commanded
the ladies' to keep moving. They obeyed
this order by walking in procession up
and down in front of Wagner's place.
The crowd of men would have dispersed
at the suggestion Of the police, but
Wagner begged them to stay, saying he
would bail out of Jail any man arrested
for obstructing the sidewalk. Wagner's
men were engaged in washing the pave
ment for long time.
About 4 p. N. the crowd became 80
large that Police Capt. Keller per-
suaded the ladies to leave the street.
They then repaired to the yard con-
nected with the High street Methodist
Church, and held prayer meetings dur
ing the balance Of the afternoon. A
warrant was sworn out against Wagner
for assault on Mrs. Dessellem.

Bronchitis.

This is an irritation or Inflammation Of the
bronchial tubes which carry the air we breathe
into the lungs II arises from cold settled in
the throat, from Oatarrh extending to these
parts, from scrofulous affections, and from
severe use Of the voice. The irritation from
the latter cause commences in the ldrynx and
glonis, which are the organs Of the voice, and,
extending downwards, produces hoarseness,
coughing, and splitting mucous matter, some
times mixed with blood. 1t is chiefly danger
GUS from its tendency to spread into the lungs,
and terminate in consumption. It is in the cure
Of severe and obstinate cases Of this disease
that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
achieved unparalleled success, and won the
loudest praise from all who have used it.

SnuE-Dipping.

The Dover IN. H. Enquirer makes
the following statement relative to a
practice which has been generally I'M
derstood to be confined to one or two
Southern States: "While in an apoth-
ecary store, recently, we heard young
girls and boys calling for snuff, scented
with checkerberry, etc., to be used for
cleaning the teeth. It has no virtues
for cleaning the teeth, more than the
brush without it /; and it is simply an
other way of using tobacco-a dirty
way-injuring the health and weaken
ing the nervous system. A physician
recently informed us that he had, in
one or two cases, seen commissions from
its use. This pretended cleansing is
several times"

HAY, Fine and Coarse.

Producers are sometimes puzzled to
know why city buyers generally ask
for coarse, well-matured hay, in pref
erence to the more tender and in real
ity more nutritious kinds. The Live
Stock Journal thus enlightens: ''Uity
men feed hay for different purpose
than the farmer. The farmer feeds it
for its nutriment and as principal
food, while the city man regards grain
as the cheapest food, and only gives
sufficient hay to make bulk in the
stomach, and for the purpose Of health.
Coarse, well-matured timothy serves
this purpose better than the early-cut
and fine grasses. They do not desire
such hay as will tempt the horse to eat
too much of it. Straw would answer
this purpose if cut and mixed with the
grain, about as well. But farmers
should be content with the practice of
the city customer, for it enables them
to sell their poorest hay for the best
price, and to retain the best quality for
home consumption
