Tho Poison Habit.

But under all circumstances make a firm
stand against the poison habit. 1t Is best
to call things by their right names The
effect upon the animal economy OF every
stimulant is strictly that of a poicon, and
every poison may become stinlulant
There Is no bane in the South American
sWalnps,n no vilulent compound in the North
American drug slores--chcmistry knows
no deadlicst pOison-whose gradual and
persistent oblrusion on the human organism
will not create al unnatural craving after a
repetition OF the lcthal dose, a morbid ap-
potency in every way analogous to the
hankerlng or tho topper after his favorite
tlppie. Swallow tablespoonful of lauda-
mum or few grains Of arsenious acid every
night. AT first your physical conscience
protests ny every means in Its power:
nausea, grlpes, spasms and nervous head
ache warn you again and again; the slrug-
.ges OF the digestive organs against tho fol |
lntr'lder conyulse your whole system. But
you continue tho dose, and nature, true to
her highest law to preserve life at any plico,
nnallY adapts herself to an abnormal con-
dltlon--adapts the poison at whatever cost
OF health, strength and happiness. Your
Dody becomes an opium machine, an ar
senic mill, physiological engine moved by
poison, and performing Its functions only
under the spur of tho unnatural stimulus.
But bye and-bye the jaded system fails to
respond to the spur, your strength gives
way, and alarmed at tho symptoms of
rapid delirium, You resolve to remedy the
evil by, removing the cause. You try to
renounce stimulation, and rely once more
on the unaided strength Of the Wis vite.
But that strength Is almost exhausted. The
oil that should have fed the flame of life
has been wasted on health consuming
IRE. Before you can regain strength and
happiness your system must readapt itself
to the normal condition, and the difficulty
OF that Encouragement will be proportioncd
70 the degree. of the present disarrauge-
ment; the further you have stayed from
nature the longer it will take you to retracc
your steps.

SILK HANDKERcHIEFs AND THE DAN

indispensable that person In fuil

brilliant hue. Old and young of both
sexes affect this radiant appendage,
the varied hues of which are so Drill1ant
as to recall the altar paintings ana

haelite age. Brilliant colors. like the
reds, the blues, tho yellows, the pur-
pies and the pinks have been regar led
by eminent critics like Ruskln, as In
dicative Of pure state Of morals In a
community than where the sober half
tints of grays and Quaker hues pre-
vailed. Innocence loves bright hues.
while vice seeks the obscurlty of twi-
light shades. If this theory be cor-
rect our pocket handkerchiefs are
about the only rcdeeming feature of
our color morality at present. 1t Is sad
to reflect that they have nothing but
their fleeting dyes to recommend them
They are htmsy and insubstantial In

AaR1UuLT'URE.

WHAT NExrP-A California inventor |
has made machine for pressing and
drying potatoes so that they will keep
for years. yet preserve their natural
flavor, No chemicals are used In the
operatian of curing, everything being
done by simple machine capable OF
pressing six hundred bushels Of pota-
toes in twenty four hours. The ma
ohiue not only PRESSES the potatoes, but
lays them on tray in a cencave form
with the hollow side down. After the
pressure they are put into drying ap-
paratus, where they remain for two
hours, then they arc ground into coarse
meal resembling cracked rice. The
first shipment Of these preserved pota-
toes to Liverpool, last year, brought a
large profit. The average price Of p"-
tat0es in San Francisco Is about tWen-
ty-fiye cents a bushel. Dried, they
brought in England forty five shillihgs
a hundred weight, or at the rate Of q
dollar and a half a bushel for green
potatoes, This year preparation has
been made for drying and shipping
large quantities. 1t Is said that there
are SDree hundred thousand acres o
unoul,ivated land on the western slop'
Of the Coast Range, near San Francis
co, especially adapted to potato grow
ing. The togs and Mists from the oceal
supply sufficient moisture, and the sol
yields boantitully. The only problen
heretofore has bcen where to marke
the product.
