a convention Of physicians met in the
city Of Baltimore a year or two ago and
among the other subjects that engaged
their attention was that Of the influence
OF alcohol on the human system. AZ
ter considerable discussion a very large
majority Of the convention, fully nine
tenths, We believe, arrived at the con
ciusion t,at a small quantity Of ardent
spirits, either a gill or half a Gill.
which We do not now remember. did not

Further than this they could not 90
They could not say that this small guam
tlty did any good, but larger quantity
certainly did harm, even with the con-
ditions Of health and labor. There are
eases whore it is useful, perhaps neces-
sary, as medicine, but they were speak +
ing Of it as a beverage Such was the
oniaon Of men who fought to know best
OF the n'o3eyate use Of liquor; Of its inn
Aodtrotte use there are two opinions. -

either living or dead example. 1t
is estimated in our population Of 49,
600, geo 200 900 die annually from the
effects IF liquor. Would the prohibition
Of the sale of liquor lessen our quota of
this vast army, and advance tue material
prosperity Of our county is the question
presented by local option We believe
it would. 1t would not stop drinking
altogether, but we believe it would ma
tcrially diminish it AMI its frequent at
teniants poverty AMI crime.
We are eminontly social people,
white and black, AMI our social feelings
find vent in invitations to drink. IL
is the custom of the country. Men who
rarely drink at home, under the inau-
ence of the prevailing fashion, are in-
duccd to drink, again AMI again, with
their friends at places of public resort.

belieyo, tuo-thirds Of the ardent spirits
used in our county is drank at places
licensed to sell. 1t is at these places
that most of the habits are formed, that
too often lead to ruin
We cannot, in one brief article, give
one-half of the reasons that may be urg-

Pulling Wool.

The Ohio Farmer contains the follow
ing directions for taking the wool from
Sleeps pelts: Prepare board three
feet wide and three or four feet in
length, with one smooth side spread
pelt on the smooth side of the board,
flesh side up. Have mixed some lime
and water, about the consistency OF good
rich cream, Qime mixture such as is
suitable for plastering or laying brick
will do, but you must use little more
of the latter. Wood ashes mixed with
water, as with lime, will start the wool
quicker, but it frequently eats into the
skin, and makes it so tender that the
skin will tear in pulling Spread a thin
layer or coating of the lime mixture all
over the flesh side, then fold the flesh
sides together carefully, and roll up,
and lay in a moderately warm place
from six to twelve hours ; the wool will
then be ready to pull. Then place the
board at an angle of say forty five de
grecs, unroll the pelt, scrape off the
lime. and lay the flesh side upon the
board. holding the neck in one hand,
and with the other slide or push the
wool off IN whole fleece, which can be
easily and nicely done in ten minutes.
Then roll it up, same as if shorn wool.
Put the feeces separately in a dry and
airy place for six or eight days, to let
the moisture escape that is natural to
lately shorn wool, as we'll as that alb
sorbed from the use Of lime moisture.
Last year we had a similar lot of wool
to that we now have. and sent it to q
wool manufacturer. Their sorter valued
it at As cents per pound. Calling such
wool worth 50 cents this year. we get
for the wool Of each pclt 81 9OH, or
81 171a more than the highest price the
pelts would have brought.

ROTATION OF CRops.-As desirable
as rotation in Office may be, it cannot
be more SO than iudicious rotation Of
crops raised on the farm. No matter
how fertile the soil, it is conceded that
constant cropping with one, two or three
kinds of grain, will wear out the land.
All good farmers concede that a proper
rotation of crops, including the grasses,
should be followed. Chemists inform
us that the nutriment of food-produc-
ing plants, is taken in part from the soil
in solution from the roots, and partly
from the air through the leaves, and
therefore that suitable food must be
provided, or manifest deterioration
will result. The good farmer, while he
aims to produce the largest crops at the
least expense, will also be careful to
keep up the fertility of the soil by iu-
dicious rotation of crops, supplemented
by the application of manures to the
land.-RurM World.

THE SISTERS. household is com
plete without sister. She gives the
finish to the family. A sisters love, a
sisters influence can be more
hallowed A sisters watchful care--can
anything be more tender? A sisters
kindness does the world show us any
thing more pure? Who would live
without sister? A sister that is a sis
ter in fidelity, in purity, in love, is
sort of guardian angel in the home cir
Gle. Her presence condemns vice. She
is the quickener of good resolutions,
the sunshine in the pathway of home.
To every brother she is Il light and life.
Her heart is the treasure-house of con-
fidence. In her he finds a fast friend; a
charitable, forgiving, tender though
often severe friend. In her he finds n
ready companion. Her sympathy is as
open rs day, and sweet as the fragrance
of flowers. We pity the brother who
has no sister, no sisters love; we feel
sorry for the home which is not enliven-
ed by sisters presence. A sisters
Office is noble and gentle one. 1t is
hers to persuade to virtue, to win to
VISIONS ways; gently to lead where
duty calls to guard tho citadel Of home
with sleepless vigilance of virtue; to
gather graces and strew flowers around
the home altar. To be sister is to
hold a sweet place in the heart of home.
1t is to minister in holy office.

A GnIyestnninn on nnIIas.

A lengthy communication appears
in the Galveston News, written by q
travelling correspondent, from which
The HERALD extracts the following in
reference to Dallas;
Dallas has been SO well advertised
that the average emigrant believes he
has not reached Texas until he has ar'
rived at this place, and that when he
leaves these busy avenues of trade he
is taking his chances in an outside
barbarian world. The newspapers and
the people of the city are not unwill-
ing to encourage this idea. There has
been some encouragement, however,
arising from the fact that the outside
barbarian world got hold of the idea
that the smallpox was raging here.
There has been quite scare
about it, but the efficient city
government took such I'M
mediate effective precautions to pre-
vent its spread that no danger Is now
apprehended. +" ="
There Is a skeleton as well in every
city's closet rs in that of every indi-
vidual's home. Here in Dallas it is
one easily disposed Of Filth of the
streets and cutters is such as to invite
pestilence and disaster. The extension
of the Texas and Pacific Railroad to
Fort Worth is not skeleton In the
Dallas closet, for the city's trade may
be really improved by such extension.
