Dangerof SfimuIanfs.

That man is nothing less imam a
deliberate suicide who drinks tea,
coffee, or ardent spirits ofany kind
to induce him to perform work
in hand when he feels too weak to
60 through with it without such
aid. This is the reason that the
majority of great orators and pub
lie favorites die drunkards. The
pulpit, the bench, the bar, the for
um. have contributed their leg
ions of victims to drunken habits.
The beautiful woman, the sweet
singer, the conversationalist, the
periodical writer, has filled but too
often q drunkard's grave. The
best possible thing for man TO do
when he feels too tired to perform
task, or too weak to carry it
through, is to go to bed and sleep
a week if he can this is the only
true recuperation of brain-power
the only actual renewed of brain
forces, because during sleep the
brain is, in a sense, at rest, in
condition TO receive and appropri-
ate particles of nutriment from
the blood which have been con-
sumed in previous labor. Mere
stimulants supply nothing they
only goad the brain, force it to
greater consumption Of its sub
stance, until that substance has
been fully exhausted that there is
not power enough left to receive
a supply just as mon are some
times SO near death by thirst and
starvation, that there is not
strength enough left to swallow
anything, and all is over. The ca
pacity of the brain for receiving
recnperative particles sometimes
comes on with the rapidity of
lightning, and the man becomes
mad in an instant in an instant
falls into commissions, in an in
slant loses all sense, ana he is an
idoit. We repeat, there is renew
ed force from the brain only in
early and abundant sleep.

A Hardware Store i'm Bed.

The Burlington (Iowa) Ha,ok-
eye man says: The other night a
man who lives out on Columbia
street was kept downtown by
business until a very late hour,
and his wife, knowing how cold
he would be when he got home,
put an iron on the stove, and when
She heard him open the gate she
Jumped up and hurriedly wrap
ped the iron in a piece OF flannel,
and chucked it into bed for HIM to
warm his great feet by. The man
was cold, and taciturn, and cross.
He crawled into bed with groan.
and shuddered with cold as he
stretched himself out. Then he
gave a yell that shook the roof,
and jammed his head through the
headboard, and screamed fire, and
waltzed out on the floor and around
the room in the dark, filling the
darkness with weird profanity.
When his wife lighted the lamp,
they discovered a beautiful photo
graph of sadiron on that mans
foot, and it was found that the
flannel had somehow got off the
foot-warmer. The man says that
hereafter, if he must sleep with
hardware store, he wants it put in
cold

A reporter of one OF the smaller
Journals of Paris asked the mana
ger of theatre to give him two
seats for a certain performance.
The manager refused, and the
journalists said to him: "YOur re-
fusal will cost you forty thousand
francs.n For six months after the
paper praised the theatre in this
wise: "Monsieur X. is magnifi-
cent director. He has good COM
pany, and his entertainments are
excellent. His management is
intelligent, he knows what the
people of Paris want. What a pity
il is that the staircases of the thea
ire are of wood. If fire should
break out the audience would have
little chance of escape " The result
of this was that the manager was
compelled to build an iron stair
case, which cost him fifty thousand

Do you know you have asked for the
costiest thing
Ever made by the hand above?
A woman's heart and woman's life
And woman's wonderful love?
Do you know you have asked for this

Man-lke you have questioned me,
Now stand at the bar of my woman's
soul
Until shall question thee.
You may require that your mutton shall
always be hot
Your shirts and socks shall always be
whole;
l require your heart to be true as Gods
stars
And pure as His Heaven your soul.
You require a cock for your mutton
and beef
I require far greater thing;
A seamstress you are wanting for socks
and shirts,
I look for man and king.
A king for the beautiful realm called
home
And man that the maker, God,
Shall look upon as he did upon the
first,
And say sit is very good"

fade
From my soft young cheek one
Will you love me then mid the falling

May?
Is your heart and ocean so strong and

true,
All things that a man should be;
IF you would give this all l would stake

But womap's hitolt and a woman s

The Western Farms.

The great farmers of the West
are, one by one, yielding to the
pressure of the times. and going
through the ordeal of bankruptcy.
The country is full offarmers. who
purchased large tracts in the hope
of becoming millionaires, by the
advance which they believed to be
inevitable, and now they have to
pay ten per cent, for money to en-
able them to retain their hold up
on farms, of which they cultivate
but small portion, and
which do not return more than
three to five per cent. In many
counties railroad bonds have adj
ded greatly to the burden of taxa
ton, and in these the big farms are
being broken up. Germans are
on hand to take the pieces, and
these Will add much to the wealth
ofthe country by purchasing small
farms, and thoroughly cultivating
them.
