REFORMATION Ey SYSTEM.

An earnest philosopher some years
ago published recipe warranted to as
sist the most persistent smoker III CIV
ing up the use of tobacco. He asserted
that good strong dose of whisky,
taken whenever the desire TO smoke
was felt, would in short time render
the smoker easily Independent of to-
hacco. The plan was tried by a man
who was in the habit of smoking ten
cigars daily, but the result was not
success. On the first day of his alb
stinence from tobacco he felt the desire
10 smoke almost constantly. Deter
mined to follow out the philanthropist's
plan, he drank thirty-two separate
doses of whisky and went to bed un-
conscious of the existence of tobacco or
of anything else. The next day like
quantity of whisky was needed to
overpower the longing for tobacco, and
at the end of a month delirium tremens
seized upon him.
Equally fallacous is the theory that a
smoker can abandon tobacco without
inconvenience by diminishing his daily
ration OF tobacco slowly bat steadily.
Abstaining gradually in the amount of
cigars smoked daily, plausible as its
efficacy may seem has proven to be an
utter fallacy. The smokers nature re-
bells against his gradual diminution of
the narcotic weed. Thousands have
tried the experiment, but have shortly
returned to All excessive and reckless
wallowing in the mire of sn unlimited
number of cigars.
But the smoker who wishes to reform
is, nevertheless not wholly without
hope. An ingenious Bostonian is said
to have elaborated mathematical plan
based upon the simple fact that any
man who wishes cigar aud can restsin
himself from lighting it for at least five
minutes fact which no smoker can
deny--and every day putting off the
time Of his commencement of smoking
five minutes later, and will steadily
persevere in the course, at the end of q
fortnight he will find that he is smok-
ing one cigar less than he has been in
the habit Of doing daily; and if per.
son has been in the habit of smoking
eight or ten cigars daily, it will take
about four months for him to com
pletely emancipate himself, and he will
find that he has easily and impercepti.
bly, emancipated himself from the dom
ination of tobacco.

A Bright Bird.

A large and handsome whooping stork
can be seen daily strutting around tho yard
at the residence of Prof. Paige, in Council
Bluffs. Tho elongated bird was purchased
by tho Professor during visit to Mexico
some months since and has become quito
tame. Among other food that the stork
rcishes is nice fat mouse. Mrs. Paige
has small wire trap in the house and
whenever mouse happens to wander there
In, he becomes sweet morsel for his stork-
ship. The other day Mrs. Paige noticed
the bird standing near the barn watching
intently at a small hole leading beneath tho
building. The stork remained in oil atti-
tudc of watchfulncss for nearly half an
hour, and Mrs. Paige becoming curlous,
concluded to watch and see what followed.
Finally she saw mouse creep into sight
from under the barn, and tho same instant
the intelligent stork pounced down on the
mouse and 'took him in," killing it first
and then eating it. After performing this
intelligent feat, the stork resumed his
vigilance at the mouse hole, and, after
watching sharply for over an hour, seemed
to grow weary Of his work or get out of
patience, and marching to the house entered
the kltchon, and picking up the mouse. trap,
flon which he had so often Eeen fed, he
returned to the barn and set the trap down
near the hole, evidently apprcciatlng tho
use of the trap, and believing that it would
catch a mouse for him.

Authorizations of Food.

Prof. 8. W. Johnson, in his paper re-
Gently read at Saratoga, states that the
practlcc OF adulterating milk by adding wa
ter alone, enables pcddlers to sell annually
in New York City, 10000, 900 quarts of
this harmless beverage at al average of
ten cents per quart, realizing $4,0U0, 900 q
year, or $l2,0U0 per day. He also finds
that the number of COWS kept to supply the
city Of London with milk are not sufficient
10 afford single tablespoonful to each in
habitant of the city daily. London Is the
centre Of gross s,adulterations of food and
drinks Alum is used in bread to mako
1t light, elastic, firm and dry but adutera-
tion IN this country is far less common
than III England. 1t ought to be, when
grain is sometimes used as fuel, because it
Is cheaper than wood or coal. The Profess
sor believes that granulated sugars are
pure, though pulgerizcd sugar and syrups
are liable to be adultcratcd. The greatest
danger TO the public is from the use OF
colorcd confectionery, and tho only safe
luc Is to let 1t entirely alone. Market
pickles and vinegar arc also to be used
with caution. Bar-room liquors arc badly
uduIteratcd by the use of poisons, anuithe
fact is 80 we'll known that he thinks any
body deserves his fate who drinks them.
A food testing laboratory to be established
in each State, cooperating with the board
of health, he suggests, would save the
citizens many times It's cost, just as agri-
cultural experiment stations have saved
immense sums to the farmers in the pur-
chase of fertilizers. On the whole, how
ever, adultcratlon Of food in this country,
Is not very common.

Over EXortiOn.

Long continued oxertion, without prop
er intervals Of rest, Is followed by pecu-
Iiar sensation of fatigue. and often by
trenor r cramp. Fatigue ls duo, IN part,
to the failure of contractile material and
an accumulation of waste.products, in the
muscles, but in tho main, to exhaustion of
the nerve-centres that supply stimulus to
contraction. Both tremor and cramp arc
probably caused by excessive muscular ir-
ritability, the formor being duo to short,
irregular explosions OF muscular force, the
latter being prolonged contraction of the
muscle. When ovcr-exertion Is confined
to small group Of muscles, these, instead
of becoming enlarged and strengthened as
is the case when exertion and rest are duly
interchaaged, suffer chronic exhaustion.
