j. IL. Cough Wears Well.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Oshkosh, (Wis.) Daily North
,restern thus refers to the great tenn
perance advocate and his labors in
the cause which lies so near his heart:
Cough delivered his new lecture on
temperance here last night to crow
ded house He wears the usual 'claw
hammer broadcloth coat; the white
hair in his head and whiskers are
little thicker and the stoop in his
shoulders little more percep,ible
than when he lectured in Oshkosh in
1861. Cough is now ffty-eight
years old, tracing his birthplace 10
Sandgate, England, in the year 1917.
His father, who was soldier in the
British army and died in 1872, at the
age of ninetyfour, used intoxicating
liquors habitually until his DEATH
Young Cough came to New York in
1929, and entered into a bookbindery
rs an apprentice, where his drunken
habits made him notorious. In 1910
he signed the pledge, since which he
has travelled over four hundred thou
sand miles. and delivered seven thou
sand FIVE hundred lectures, accom-
plishing more good and attaining a
greater celebrity in his great measure
of reform than any other man that
ever lived. His powers OF endurance
are wonderful. He told the audience
last night that he WAS detained by
an accident to the train, and had ca
ten nothing but q single slice of
bread since his early breakfast in the
morning. He has frequently averag-
ed two hundred and fifty lectures q
year, undergoing more fatigue and
expending more vital force than men
engaged in any other pursuit. He
measures forty-two and half inches
around the breast, is hale and hearty,
and promises to last for twenty years
vet. Total abstinence, regular hab-
its and plenty of exercise he thinks
the causes of his sound health. The
lecture was like all Of his efforts. No
one could listen to it without being
convinced of his earnestness and his
power as a rcformer. Flashes of gen
uinc eloquence, pathetic little stories,
humorous gestures and vigorous as
saults upon those who purposely set
the trap Of intemperance for the
young, made up an appeal which set
many a man to thinking.

or Interest 70 Soldiers and
Sailors.

EDITnRs WESTERN RURAL: II
think very few are aware Of the fac,
that under the Soldiers and Sailors
Homestead Act, of June 8, 1872,
amended March 3, 1873, every soldie,
and sailor who made a homestead oi
less than one hundred and sixty acres
is entitled to so much additional land
as, when added to the quantity pre-.
viouslv entered, shall not exceed one
hundred and sixty acres, to be select
ed and located out Of any of the pub.
lie lands in the United States. For
instance, if the soldiers original claim
was eighty acres, he is entitled tc
eighty acres more; if forty acres, one
hundred and twenty acres more. Ir
case the original claimant is dead, his
widow, if unmarried, or in case of he,
deaf h or marriage, his minor orphan
children would be entitled to the
above benefits.
The entry OF additional land may
be made by attorney as well as by
the party in person. Evidence o.
service in the army or navy, and o
the original homestead entry, accom-.
panied by the usual forms Of app!ica
tion for land, are all that are needet
by the applicant. Land may be Sc
lected and entered directly by tn.
party entitled, or he may sell and
transfer his right to any person, ane
if the papers are regular, the purch
aser can enter land Herewith. Sucl
rights should sell readily for cash.

The Judges of England, with one
or Two exceptions, have unanimously
come out in favor of fogging as a
means of punishment. Chief Justice
Cockburn thinks that fogging should
be extended to cases of violent as
sault; Justice Blackburn, Mellor, and
Lush, from practical observation take
q similar view. M. Justice Quain
says that fogging is the only punish.
ment, t,excep. the punishment Of death,
that seems to retain any real deter
rent power about it. Baron Bram-
we'll believes that crime branded in
this way would soon become odious
With such eminent authorities in its
favor the punishment of fogging may
once more become common in Eng
land. 1t is very easy to speak OF
glorious manhood, and fine thing
for glorious manhood 10 live in a
country where it can pass lis leisure
hours in cutting throais, kicking the
life out of helpless womsnhood, and
doing deeds of which Sokd would
be ashamed. But when glorious
manhood has forfeited its right to
look m honest man in the face, when
its ruffian hands are stained with
blood, and its eyes Wild wi h the fury
Of the wolf or the tiger, it seems to
the eye of English justice only right
and proper that it should be disgrac.
ed that shame, if nothing else,
should be called into requisition to
convince It that it, puny strength is
but = reed in the hands Of imssice.

A Gas Well ON Fire.

An interesting description of
burning well in Pennsylvania has
been received by the Signal Office
from Mr.. J. Cummings, of Torentum,
one of the volunteer observes for the
Signal Service. In the course Of his
narrative, Mr.. Cummings says:
"On the night Of the I'd Of Feb
ruary, 1875, myself, in company with
several others, paid visit to the
great gas we'll. situated about nine
miles from Taren, um, and fifteen miles
south of Butler, at place called
Larden's mill, on the farm Of Mr..
William Hervey. and owned by
company consisting Of Messrs. Will
liam Harvey. J. S. Vandegrift and
J. McAllister. The well was tapped
about two weeks ago, IS | learned
from one of the proprietors, in their
search after oil. They have gone

hundred and forty-Gve feet, and have
struck the first sand rock. The well

of the well about nine O'Clock at

It's immediate influence and saw the

Half Of all ordinary diseases would
be banished from civilized life and
dyspepsia become almost unknown il
everybody would eat but thrice dav
at regular times and not an atom be.
tween meals, the interval not being
less than FIVE hours, that being the
time required to digest . full meal
and pass it out OF the stomach.
If . person eats between meals the
process Of digestion Of the food al
ready in the stomach is arrested un.
til the last which has been eaten is
brought into the condition Of the
former meal, Just as If water is boil
ing and ice put in the whole ceases
to boil until the ice is melted and
brought to the boiling point and then
the whole hollis together.
But it is the law of nature that all
food begins to decay, to rot, after
exposure to heat and moisture for Z
certain time. If . meal 10 eaten and
in two hours another, the whole re-
mains undigested for several hours,
before which time the ro,tening pro-
cess commences and the man has his
stomach full of carrion-the very idea
Of which is horribly disgusting; but
that such is the case the unendurable
odor of the belching demonstrates.
As, then, all the food in the stom-
ach is in rotten condition, in state
Of fer,nentive decay, it becomes un-
fit for the purposes of nutrition and
making pure blood in the whole
body; hence the nerves, which feed
on this impure and imperfect blood,
are not properly nourished, and, as a
consequence, become diseased. They
complain they are hungry-and like
hungry man they are peevish, fret
ful, restless. We call it nervousness,
and no one ever knew a dyspeptic
who was not restless, 6dge,y, fretful
and essentially disagreeabls and un-
certain.
The stomach is made up Of num-
her of muscles, sll Of which are
brought into requisition in the pro-
cess of digestion. But no muscle
can work always. The busy heart is
in state Of perfect repose one-third
Of its time. The eye can wink twice
in second, but this could not be
continued FIVE minutes. The hands
and feet must have rest, and SO with
the muscles OF the stomach; they can
only rest when there is no work for
them to do--no food in the stomach
to digest. Even at FIVE hours inter
val, and clting thrice day, they are
kept cons. antly at work from break
fast until the last meal is disposed Of,
usually ten o'clock at night. But
multi,udes eat heartily till within an
lour Of bedtime; thus, while the
other portions of the body are at
rest, the stomach is kept laboring un-
til almost daylight, and made to be-
gin again at breakfast time. Nc
wonder is it that the stomach is worn
out-has lost its power of action.
Many girls become dyspeptic before
they are out of their teens in conse-
quence of their being about the
house and nibbling at everything
they Law their eyes on that is good to
eat.--Uaips journal.

YOU AND I.

'Tis many year since We parted, dear,
Our hearts were free from care,
And summer skies were in your eyes.
And sunshine In your hair.
We knew not then wha. our time would
bring,
Bat, like the young, We dreamed
Thst life must be, to you and me.
A. bright ss then 1t seemed.
went where duty pointed me,
With Others work to do;
Your path grew wide, and close beside,
Another walked with yon.
Love led the way. and though at times
Your sky has been o'srcast,
Yet well we know, 'neath Loves warm glow,
That clouds can never last.
The frost upon our forcheads show
Our summer times gone BY;
The winter chill OF Life's down hill
10 left, and then-to die.
We covct all the sweets Of life,
The shine and not the shade;
But tears to weep and paine to keep,
Upon us al are laid.
And what they call the sweetest part,
That one In life can hAd,
had to turn with Duty stern,
And leave far, far behind.
But some must work and weep, that joy
May fall to others share,
Add God knows best, within each breast,
Which heart would break or bear.
