OuO barrels OF beer reported Dy the brew
ers' congress as sold last year would
have filled canal twenty-one feet wide
and five feet deep, extending from New
York to Philadelphia, and that 1t would
take pump throwing thirty gallons a
minute, running night and day, over
twenty-one years to pumpit out. 1t was
ali swallowed, however.
Dora Young, tavorite daughter of
the late Brigham Young, is in Chicago.
attractive and handsome woman, with
beautiful complexion and golden hair.
She dresses fashionably and in good
taste. She has considerable property,
secured from her fathers estate by a
successful suit at law, and intends to
enjoy it. Two years ago she was a
jealous Mormon, but now she abomin-
ates the system and has forsaken her old
home and friends.
1t is a popular sanitary error to think
that the mora a man eats the fatter and
stror ger he will become; to believe that
the more hours children study the faster
they learn; to conclude that If exercise
is good, the more violent it is the greater
is the benefit; to imagine that whatever
remedy causes one to fee! Immediately
better is good for the system, regardless
of the ulterior effects. Despite the ad-
vance of hygienic science, these mis-
taken ideas remain-a monument to the
public apathy concerning health mat
ters.

Woman'S Journal, signing herself Julia
E. Smith, and says that her husband
not only paid the tax this year without
protest, but went to the collector to pay
it, and then told her that sit was his
tax and not hers, and that as he could
vote he had no reason to go contrary to
law" Mrs. Parker says: " l want to
take my own stand and fight it out, as
long as men make laws so unjust that
women cannot say how their own prop
erty shall be disposed of, but men can
use it as they please, without any ifs or
ands about it,"
1t was recently remarked by Prof.
Maudsley that one stri ing feature
observed by medical men in cases of
hallucination is that the patients cannot
be convinced that the objects they see,
the sounds they hear, and the smells they
perceive, have no real existence, and that
the sensations received are the result OF
an excited state of their nerves. Hallu-
cination often extends to but one sense,
the person atfecte being otherwise in a
perfectly normal condition. 1t may
arise either from an idea on which the
mind has dwelt closely, or from excite
ment of the sensory nerves. 1t is said
that Newton, Hunter, and some Others
of equal eminence, could, at will, picture
forms to themselves until they appeared
to be realities.
Dan Watson, who is known to the
police throughout the country, is now
in the penitentiary at Philadelphia
Being asked why his band had not made
an attempt on the Northumberland bank
while operating in that neighborhood
several years ago, he said: Three times
we went to do it, and each time we
were frustrated, and by what do you
thinkP-a terrible bulldog? the watch
mans revolver or the strength of the
safeP Neither, but little child. You
see, the watchman went down to the
bank from his supper leading his little
child by the hand. We had it all ar
ranged to pounce upon him and gag and
bind him and then rob the place; but
somehow, when | saw that littl one,
| hadn't the heart to give the signal and
hurt it, so he escaped. I'm bad man
and | amt afraid of the best man living
but | couldn't bear to see the little thing
| hurt.
