The Laboratory Of +hs sustam

Tho stomach is the laboratory of the
system, constantly going on. These result
IN the production of that wonderful viVIfy-
ing agent the blood, which in state of
health rushes laden with the elements
ofvitality to the remotest parts of the
system. Dut when the stomach is semi
paralyzed3 by dyspepsia, blood manufac-
ture is carried on imperfectly. the circula-
ton grows thin and sluggish, and the
system suffers 10 consequence. Moreover,
indigestion reacts upon the liver and
bowels, rendering the first sluggish and
the latter constipated. The brain also
suffers by sympathy, and sick headaches.

So this is the death cry. is it? This is
what that member of the workingmen's
party meant when he informed an ARGUS
reporter that ut would not be good for
anyone to say anything against the dark
lantern society,"" A very hanLy thing
tor INSCRIPTIONS, dishonest and morally
irresponsible leaders to use when it suits
their pleasure, profit or spite to get up a
strike, to coerce manufacturer, to black
mail corporation or injure the trade of q
merchant who will not come down on de-
mand. In the Molly Mcguire days this was
the way the mining bosses were disposed of.
"Woe to traitors. may mean almost any
thing. To the mistaken workingmen who
are in, and to the poor workingman who
refuses to join, it may mean the loss of Q
situation, poverty and starvation, provided
the foreman or boss is zone of them" tc

such thing would be most disastrous Il

confidence in trade, induce capital to begii
new enterprises, make labor more remuner

benefit few designing politicians ant

We Drive Horse. To Excess.

BY driving TO excess we mean that
horses are pulled and hauled, jerked and
twitched teo much with the reins.
There il too much guiding with the
lines. Concerning this subject the
Prairie Farmer says (in truth) that the
a. most vicious and inexcusable style of
driving is the manner which so many
drivers adopt, to wit, of wrapping the
lines around their hands and pulling the
horse back with all their might and
main, 80 that the horse, in peint of fact,
feels the weight back of him with his
mouth, and not with his breast and
shoulders. This they do under the i'm
preston that such a dead pull is needed
in order to steady" the horse
"The fact is, with rare exceptions,
there should never be any pull upon the
horse at all. A steady pressure is allow
able, probably advisable, but anything
beyond this has no justification in nature
or reason, For nature suggests the ut-
most freedom of the action OF the head
body and limbs, 80 that the animal may
attain the highest possible rate of speed.
In speeding a horse the lines need seldom
be grasped in both hands when the road
is straight, and free from distractions
The true way to drive ia to let the horse
drive himself, the driver doing little but
directing him and giving him that conf
dence which horse gets in himself only
when he feels that guide and friend i;
back of him."
