EATING VS.. DRINKING.

II you would keep from drinking so
great a quantity of ardent spirits, eat,
eat more. Eat nutritious foad. Eat
something whenever YOU take a drink.
The drunk in all cases, comes from the
stomach full of whisky and no food.
There is simple rule yet to be learned
by many, and that is, they do not eat
enough of real blood, bone nerve and
tissue making food. You may half
starve to death on salt fish, potatoes,
cabbage, turnips, fried liver, stewed
kidney, and score of other dishes
that please the taste, but add little or
nsthing to the bodily force. Eggs, the
best steak, mutton and bread are what
one requires for strength. 1t is this un-
conscious half starved condition which
causes SO much of the craving for q
temporary increase of strength and
that is quickest gained through a glass
of whisky: that gives. for few mo-
ments, a spasmodic impulse to the
wheels of life sending them whizzing
and spinning around for few mo-
ments, then comes reaction, and they
turn more sluggish than ever. The
best spirits in the world reside in good
blood, the worst in bad. 1t is that
which send false imaginings, suspi-
cious and dependencies to the brain

MERIT RECOGNIZED.

Benson's Capclne Porous Plasters receiy
ed the highest and only award Of merit a
the Philadelphia Exposition, over all arti-
cles OF like character, proving by the high
est medical authority In the world, that
they are greatly superiorto ordinary porous
plasters, and not patent medicine-as no
nostrums were allowed to be exhibited
there. Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster Is
positively the best external remedy ever
devised. They relieve pain at once, and
cure where other porous plasters only re-
lieve after long use. Over three thousand
physicians now recommend their use and
they are sold by druggists everywhere
Price 25 cents.
IMPORTANT TO EVERY HOUSEHOLD
Improvement" is the watchword Of the
hour It's development and re-development
Is the ambition OF every true American
Porous plasters were invented in 1885,. For
thirty years their composition remained un-
improved, until Benson's Capcine Porous
Plasters were invented. They differ from
oil others In their greater medical activity.
They WM cure disease IN a Jet0 hours that other
porous plasters, liniments or compounds
require days and weeks OF continuous wear
and use TO simply relieve. They are supe-
rior TO electricity and more powerful. 1t is
not nostrum. They are endorsed by over
three Thousand physicians and druggists as
meeting great want o remedy for exter-
nal diseases which relieves instantly and
cures quicker than any known medicine.
Try them and you will not be deceived

A FULL ACCOUNT OF THE SAssAFRA,
SCANDAL.-The Bait Gazette gives a
full account of the terrible horse-wh;p-
ping of DR.. Jos. Lort, at Sassafras, re-
Gently. It seems that the doctor had
betrayed and slsndered q young girl
named Kate Taylor. On the night Of
the 10th of February, the doctor was
ct home conyersing with Mr.. and Mrs.,
Pryor, when knock was heard at the
door. Mrs. Pryor responded, and
four men entered. Two of the party
are believed to have been william
Taylor and friend named Joseph
Turbit, The entire party rushed into
the hall and passed into the parlor.
Lorts face blanched with terror as
cooked revolvers were pointed toward
him. He offered no resistance, and
was handcuffed. After being hand
cuffed Lort was gagged, placed in a
light wagon, and borne rapidly away.
The wagon was driven to an unfre-
quented woods short distance out
side Of the village. Lort was than
partly stripped of his clothing and in
formed that he could take his choice of
dying by his own hand or of receiving
q terribly castigation. He chose the
latter. Young Taylor was assigned to
do the whipping, and had provided for
the purpose q new iwhalebone whip.
The victim was securely tied and the
whip applied until it was completely
worn out, and the blood was stream
ing from the Doctors back, which
was lacerated in q shocking manner.
1t is reported that he was then struck
on the head with the butt end of the
whip and knocked insensible, in which
condition he was left on the ground.
After the assailants returned to Sassa-
fras an alarm was given, and party
started in search of the Doctor and re-
moved him to Mrs. Pryor's residence.
His wounds were thought at first to be
of very dangerous character, but
were afterward found not to be as
severe as at tlrst apprehended.,

'. Atto, General at Last.

WAsh1NGToN, March 13.-Attorney
General Devens states that he intends
to appear in person before the Supreme
Court in cases to which the United
States is a party. During the term of
Williams, Pierrepont and Taft social
and political occupations absorbed
their time so that they could not
attend to the court business of the gov
ernment as did the old attorneys gen.
eral. Indeed, during Grants term,the
Department of Justice became cen>
tral bureau for the manufacture of
state governments as Carl Schurz once
aptly expressed it. Judge Devens
proposes to return to the earlier usages
of the department over which he pre-
sides.-Balt. Gazette.

A YOUNG MAN sBIOTHERED IN HIS
COFFIN.

At Leu St. Remy, in Belgium, young
man of eighteen years, who was believed
to be dead, was placed in a coffin and
buried A great number of mourners
accompanied the funeral. One of them
pronounced a eulogium upon the charac-
ter of the deceased, the usual prayers
were recited, and the coffin was lowered
into the grave. The grave diggers had
begun to ELL it with clay when they heard
in. Terrified, they ran tc call the curate
and inform the Mayor, in the presence of
both personages the coffin was opened.
The unfortunate youth, who had been
buried alive while in state of lethargy,
had made desperate efforts to break open
the lid of the coffin, but uselessly, and
had died of asphyxia.

HANGING BY WHOLESALE.

On Friday next, seven criminals are
to be hanged at Aiken, South Carolina,
They compose, in part, a gang of de-

were murder, riot. arson and rape.
They are all negroes, with one excep-
ton, and one Of them was formerly a
preacher. The jury that convicted
them was composed Of eleven negroes
and one white man. Confessions from
nearly all Of them have been obtained,
and the number of crimes they COM
mitted Is almost incredible. They
were portion Of band organized to
