Cost of Spirits and Beer.

The profit on the sale OF whis-
Ky by retail Is enormous. There
are in a barrel of whisky thirty
one gallons. Atretail there are
81 drinks in a gallon, and 1884
drinks in a barrel; cost per gal
Ion, say $3.50. This makes the
cost of 81 gallons $3.50, and l.
9S4 drinks at 10 cents a drink
are S19S.50. Deduct the cost,
$3.50. and it leaves Of profit
for one barrel Of whisky $1,000.
II saloon-kecper can sell 4 bar
rels month he receives $483.60,
and for the year So, 003.2 30. Take
out for expenses $500, and it
leaves a net profit of S4.303.2 20.
For a barrel Of ale Of 81 gal
Ions the cost is about So. In a
gallon the number of drinks will
average Is, at 5 cent: a drink;
this is 80 cents a gallon, or ST.
80 a barrel. Deduct the cost of

$3.50 Il barrel, or on the H.
100000 Of barrels, at 5 cents Il

The cost to the people of the
United States for distilled and
fermentcd liquorsmust he some
$500, 900, 900 a year. This is an
enormous sum for drink! And
not dollar Of this vast expend-
iture adds anything to the phys

Of any pen to describe or any

Milk as a Cause Of Tubercu
Ions Diseases.

IT seems that a considerable
percentage of the COWS in dairy
farms throughout the country
are infected with tuberculous
diseases, and the milk from AMI
mails SO affected has been found
TO propagate the disease in other
animals. for example, pigs Boil
inc does not render it innocuous-
May not this be one cause OF the
snread of tubercle among the
human species, and particularly
the population of large cities!
Children are very largely fed on
COWS milk, and the class OF mai
aides which have known con-
nection with the formation OF
tpberciilar deposit in thevarious
organs of the body is undolbted-
~ increasing. 1t is-not a Phlle-
sonhic conclusion that the young
of one species can be safely or
,,atnrally fed on the milk OF an
other. Thisis obyiousfy.a grave
Question to raise, and we raise
+ with a full sense of response

the feeding of infants on milk OF

Of that commodity as an article

Milk as Food.

Unauthorized, undilutcd, I'M
skinned and properly treated
milk, and taken from a healthy
cow in good. condition, and pro-
duced 10y the consumption Of
healthy and natrious grasses and
other kinds of food, contains
within itself, in proper propor-
lions, says Professor Sheldon,
all the elements Necessary to sus-
tain human life through a con-
siderable period of time. Scarce
ly any other article Of food will
do this. When we eat bread
and drink milk We eat bread,
butter and cheese, and drink
waterfall of them IN the best
combination and condition TO
nourish the human system. All
things considered, good milk is
the cheapest kind of food Chat
we have; for three pints of II,
weighing three and three-quar-
ter pounds, contain as much
nutriment as one pound Of beef.
There is no loss in cooking
milk, as there is in cooking the
beef, and there are no bones in
it that can not be eaten; it is
simple, palatable, nutritious,
healthiuI, cheap and always
ready for use with or without
preparation. This is to say that,
chemically, threc scyen,hs
pounds of milk is equivalent Of
one pound Of beef in flesh-form-
ing or heterogeneous constituents,
and three-seventccnlhs pounds
of milk is To- equivalent of one
pound of eef IN heat-prodac-
ing elements, or carbohydrates.
We must therefore assume from
the data offered that the rela-
tive values OF beet and milk az
human food are as three and
one-half pounds TO eleven and
one-half. pounds, or, as in round
numbers, one to three and one
half.

GREAsING WAGONS. "A prao-
tical WAGNER uses castor oil in
summer and sperm oil in winter
for fine axles; in summer, when
the oil is worn out and becomes
sticky don't put on more until
you have cleaned the iron with
tlrpcntine; that will cut the res
idue off the iron. Put on your
turpentine, then placeyour wheel
ON the axle and revolve it a few
times; take off the wheel and
carefully wipe the axle clean.
a stick and a rag wet with tur-
pemtine can be used to clean up
the hub. Don't let the oil wear
out; almost invariably grease a
buggy after 1T has been wet with
rain. In winter add one-ffth
turpentine to cold pressed cas-
tor oil, and that, with slow driy-
ing when you start, will save
your iron axles." =

A Joke on a Clergyman.

Biblical scholars are sometimes
entrappcd. In little town of
Bavaria, the other day, sat an
aged fraulein and her minister,
who was, at least, supposed ito
know the Bible by heart. The
fraulein enjoyed a practical joke,
in spite Of her age; and the rev.
erend father, although a thor
oughly pious man, was not a
whit behind her. Indeed, there
is nothing in the sacred profess
sion that interdicts a good whole
some laugh, and nothing which
ought to make a man SO sad that
he cantseer only the gloomy and
sad side, of life. Our fiaulein
said:Vf'Father, you may have
heard that some of the persist
ent explorers in the Holy Land
have just discovered a huge heap
Of bones which are supposed, on.
pretty good authority, to- be
those Of the children which Her
cd killed. sab, indeed!" re-
piled the minister, thoroughly
interested, 81 had not heard it. "
eyes," continued the fraulein,
"and, strange to say, nearly half
the bones were white as the snow
Of the Alps, while the rest were
as black as ebony Dwell,
well!' exclaimed the pastor,
s'that is certainly very remarka-
BILE" Sand the problem to be
solved is" continued the frau
lein, "whether the white bones
belonged to the girls and black
ones to the boys, or vice versa.
The explorers were greatly vex-
ed by the matter and could ar
rive at no satisfactory conelu-
sion. Now, what do you think,
father?" "Oh,'' Willingly re-
joined the pastor, ssof course the
black bones belonged to the
girl babies and the white ones
to the boy babies" We ask the
same question of our readers,
and they had better guess sew
eral times before they read the
rest of the paragraph. When
they have settled the matter they
can refer to the answer of the
fraulein, who with a merry twin
kle in her eye, said: Father,
you must have read your Bible
to very little purpose, for the
account tells me that only boy
babies were killed by Herod."

I Live out of doors as much as
you can. 1t is the place for a
man to be. 1t is good for the
health. A distinguished physi-
clan was in the habit Of saying:
"However bad the air may be
out Of doors, it is always worse
in the house." 1t is good for
the temper. People who are al
ways shut up in a house are apt
to grow fretful and peevish.
They are prone to acquire mar
row views Of things, and to wor-
nv over trials not worth consid-
ering. 1t is good for the whole
eharacter-for strength, hope.
patience and fortitude. 1t ex-
pands and soitens ones nature

Preachers in the frontier set
Elements have had often ludi-.
erous. experiences. They must
hold the attention of a con-
gregation in spite of crying ba-
bies, and keep their own gravity
in circumstances both awkward
and ridiculous. Occasionally
the strain is too great, and they
surrender to the situation. An
eloquent Episcopal clergyman
was ANONYMOUSLY driven from
the pulpit by a donkey. r
lie, was favorite preacher
with the frontier families, for he
depended little on manuscript,
and used familiar phrases and
| Illustrations which interested
them in his sermons. In enforc-
