A terrible tragedy occurred the 9TH
er day in Montgomery county. Some
three or four years ago, or Whereabouts,
Dock Wick, as he was called, excited
the suspicion of his married brother,
the cause beng Mrs. Wick, the latter's
wife, whose attractions appear to have
led captive the affections of her broth
er-In-lsw. Whether the jealousy OF the
murderer was we'll founded or not can
not, of course, be determined. The
married Wick ordered the cause of his
suspicious and the origin of the green
eyed monster to leave his premises.
This order was obeyed ana Dock V,ck
not only departed from his brothers
house, but from the neighborhood and
community. The affair died out Alto
gether until a few days ago, when
Dock Wick returned to the place. 1t
was not many days, however, before
the old cause of discussion was revived
and the flames of jealousy rekindled.
Dock happened again at his brothers
house and quarrel arose, one hsu q
six-shooter and the otter q shotgun,
aud the end of all of it was Docks life
was taken and the green-eyed monster
appeaseG.

How Old He Was.

Smith Ii. is notorious ijoker-one of
those queer fellows who Joke everywhere,
in all company, and from force of habit
he was attending court in answer to
subpoena, and was dining at the public
table. He began to chat with an ac-
quaintance, who presently asked:
Smith, how old are you2"
"1f | live" replied Smith solemnly,
"till the Both of next month, shall be
seventy one"
A lawyer who sat opposite here looked
at him with an expression of surprise,
but said nothing. The next day Smith
was called as a witness, ana after giving
his name and residence, was asked his age
'FiftY-three,'' was the prompt response
what" exclaimed the lawyer, "dldnt

you would be seventy-one if you lived 10

OPIUM and its AntidOte.

OPIUM is the juice of the poppy. and,
as there are many varieties of the poppy,
so, too, are there many kinds of opium;
the mode of collecting the juice is, how
ever, always the lme. In Egypt, Syria
and India, the three countries which pro-
duced opium, number of semicircular
incisions are made In the capsule of the
poppy, and the juice which exudes is
carefully gathered. This juice in being
dried in the sun becomes of a dark color.
thickens, and forms brown, firm paste :;
this is opium. Laudanum is a solution
ofopinm in aichol and water. Opium
may be regarded as "a mixture of several
similar substances, among which may be
named morphine, nicotine, codeine, etc.
A curious fact about these opium al
kaloids is that they do not act alike on
man and animals as has been demonstrat-
ed by Claude Bernard. Man is especially
sensitive to the action of morphine, while
thebaine, another factor of OPIUM, is al
most without effect upon his nervous
system. Animals, on the other hand,
feel the effect of morphine only when
given in large doses, while thebaine is for
them violent poison.
Opium is one of the most powerful
agents we possess for modifying the SEN
slbility, but whether it does this by act
ing upon the sensor nerves or on the brain
is not certain. Opium differs wildly from
alcohol. Alcohol is cumulative in its
effects, ana the more one is addicted to
its use the more easily is he intoxicated
by it. One does not become habituated
to alcohol lntoxication, but with opium
the case is different; a person may become
so acoustic ned to it as to be able to drink
daily litre of laudanum, twenty drops
OF which would be strong enough
medicinel dose for non-habituated per-
son. Opium has its antidote; just as we
can produce sleep, so, too, can we pro-
duce sleeplessness, by the employment

diametrically opposed to those of the
narcotic. The antiuote of opium is coffee.

unknown, but now there is hardly an
other beverage that is 50 widely distrl.

Coffee is said to produce cerebral
anamia, while opium and alcohol cause
congestion; but this theory still needs
confirmation. Nevertheless, the part
played by coffee in general nutrition, is

On Bathing.

Halls Journal of Health don't believe
in too much water, for it says on the sub
ject Of bathing: Once week is often
enough for man to wash himself oil
over, and whether In summer or winter
that ought to be done with soap, warm
water and hogs hair brush, in room
showing at least seventy degrees Fahren-
heit. Baths should be taken early in the
morning, for it is then that the system
possesses the power of reaction in the
highest degree. Any kind of bath is
dangerous soon after a meal, or soon after
fatiguing exercise. No man or woman
should take a bath at the close Of the day
unless by the advice of family physi-
clan. The best mode Of keeping the sur
face of the body clean, besides the once
a week washing already mentioned, is as
follows: AS soon as you get out of bed
in the morning, wash your face, hands.
neck and breast; into the same basin of
water put both feet at once for about a
minute, rubbing them briskly all the
time; then with the towel, which has been
dampened by wiping the face, feet, etc,
wipe the whole body we'll, fast and hard,
with mouth shut and chest projecting.
Let the whole thing be done in less than
five minutes. At night, when you go to
bed, and whenever you find yourself
wakeful or restless, spend from two to
five minutes in rubbing your whole body
with your hand, so far as you can reach
in every direction. This has tendency
to preserve that softness and mobility of
skin which is essential to health, and
which too frequent washing will always
destroy.
