is not yet unfrequent both in England
and America. Inebriety and all func.
tional nervous maladies and symptoms
are more frequent in the northern par!
of the Uu.ted States than in Europe
This is explained partly by the degrees
of our climate and violent alternations
of heat and cold, partly by our free in.
stitutiOns, and partly the pressing ne.
cessities OF pioneer life.
1t is true that braia workers live
longer than muscle workers, and thai
longevity has increased with the pro.
gress of civilization, but for a variety Ol
reasons nervousness is an aid and
friend to longevity. While inebriety
may shorten life, yet nervousness, on
which inebriety depends, aad OF which
it is the expression, may protect the
system against acute and fatal disease,
Inebriates are to be kept away from al.
cOhol, which is the exciting factor, by
confinement in an asylum. This may
may need to be supplemented by posi-
tive tonic treatment. Not an. incon-
siderable portion of cases are perma-
neatly benefited by this system, which
originated in America, and is now in
troduced inio England. By successive
eliminatioLs thoroughly acclimated
race may be developed. This process
appears to be already going on. II
this view be sound, then the problem
of inebriety and of allied nervous states
is being slowly solved for US by forces
in comparison with which all our or
ganizatiOns and institutions are but as
the chips and the foam on the surface
of the ocean tide.

Young mans heart. lie felt encouraged. Other
men had made fortunes from small beginnings,
and grit would win over adversely. He rushed
around for two or three days more, and then
bought twenty boxes of bluing and started to
pedde them out from house to house. His ex-
perience as related by himself was as follows:
First house-"No, sir, we don't want any
bluing we dou't wear blue clothes here"
Second house" Bluing No, sir It's a
good thing for you my husband isn't at home
You look like just the man who stole our dog ~
Third house-The door struck his toes and he
was landed on the ground with such force that
his spine was Jared two inches out of the line.
Fourth honse-Bluing a. believe you be-
long TO a gang Of burglars, and are skulking
around to steal the doOr-keys! Git out, sir !"

Branded Hides.

Eastern declares complain seriously Of the
practice Of branding cattle which has always
prevailed in this State, and which probably al
Eays will be practiced The time has been when
branding was the only guaranty of title; bot
now that stock-raisiug has become more Of
domestic industry. we see 20 more need Of apply
ing the brand TO them than to horses. Bot even
ifthe practice is TO be continued, stock-raisers
should long since have learned that it is money
out OF his pocket 10 put an enormous brand on
the hip Of the animal making a hole in the
choicest portion Of the slde OF leather when
tanned. No matter how good the quality of
the leather;the brand reduces it TO second grade.
These brands where they become necessary, eau
as well be placed on the neck Of the animal. or
low down on ibe shoulder. as to spoil one-half of
each hide BY branding the hip. For domestic
animals the brand can probably be replaced BY
the ear mark. a.-gs1 sf-t tars ~ ~
