The New Horror Born Into the World with

Fro I, the London Truth.
When physicians disc overed that pain
could be subdued by inserting under the
skin small pointed instrument provided
with tube containing morphia, they little
thought that they were paving the way for
g new vice. Yet SO it was. There are in
our merry England, beings who are as
wholly under the domination Of morphia as
was Chinese :nder that Of opium. Wom-

cinatiop, until at last they prick the skin a
dozen times day With the tiny syringe
that has such terrible results. Tho opera

effect OF morphia is to excite to some in

A Good Breakfast Necessary In Winter.

The breakfast We take in winter will de-
ter,nine our efficiency for work in the day,
and will so influence our whole being for
that period Of time that no after meal can
correct. The breakfast in winter must con-
tain more heterogeneous food than in sum-
mer; it is absolutely needed. You must
store heat t, furnish material for absorp-
ton and for maintaining vitality; add to
this heterogeneous food something that will
disengage heat from the blood and keep up
temperature and you may defy the coolest
day. Your face may feel it, your hands
may feel it, but your body will be inper-
vious to it and 60 on disengaging that in
ward heat which can alone stand against the
lowest temperature without. II this first
meal has been properly attended to We may
presume that vital action can be maintained
in full force for five hours at least before it
needs replenisking.

Treatment Of Puerperal Fever in Cow.
From the Rural New Yorker.

have very choice cow that did net
come in until about the last Of June, I
think perhaps there would have been no
trouble with her, were it not that on tie
morning on which she calved it was cool
and rainy and she became thoroughly
soaked. After dropping her calf, put her
in the stable, and as I always do in such
cases, fastened her in tho sta1chions to
prevent her eating the ofter-birth. Right
here think is where made my mistake.
Had rubbed her thoroughly until she had
become warm and dry, doubt whether
any Ill effects would have followed: but
from being wet and then confined SO that
she had no chance for any exercise, al.
though she ate readily Of some feed I gave
her; yet after standing in tho stable for
four or five hours she was taken with vio-
lent chill, and suddenly became 90 weak
that it was with difficulty we could get her
on her legs after loosening her from the
stanchions.
began tho treatment by rubbing her
snaartly, and especially her limbs, which
seemed very cold. This I continued for
about an hour, after which We drenched her
with two heaping tablespoonfuls Of cayenne
pepper in about pint Of sweet milk.
This was recommended by neighbor Of
mine, q man who has had many years cx-
perience in the care OF COWS, and keeps q
dairy OF 40 COWS or thereabouts. He claims
that in all his experience he has never
found anything thath had 30 good an effect
in such cases as the free use Of cayenne
pepper.
Be that as it may, the effect was all that
could be desired in this case, the COW be-
coming naturally warm after . little time,
and although she was very weak for q day
or two, and, as natural result Of so great !
shock of the system, the flow of milk Was
much decreased for few days from what
it would otherwise have been. she has since
the first few days after calvipQ given hex
ordinary mess Of milk a. compared with
previous years.
Since I began writing the above commu-
nication an incident has occurred illustrat-
ing how prone we arc to believe our .raN
the only correct way. or, even If the same
or equally good results are resched by
some other means, to still consider that ours
is the best scay. The incident, which I

the case Of this COW, and my treatment Of
her, and it's result. He admitted that he

But" said he, Il think it would have been
better If you had used saltpeter, instead of
cayenne pepper, and he proceeded to give
the result Of his treatment Of case by the
use of that remedy.

The Bark America.

The bark America, Captain R.. W. Arm strong, of H. Trowbridge's Sons fleet, which arrived at New York last Friday evening, was ont in the same gale of wind in which the un- fortunate Italian bark Ajace was lost with IA of her crew, all excepting one sailor who was rescued by the life saving service. The America came in sight of Barnegat, the three lights in sight. Finding it not prudent to come to the northward of Barnegat with the heavy easterly wind and sea, which pre- dicted an easterly gale, and 8 low barometer, 2s.95, at p. m., Captain Armstrong tackled ship and stood to the southward. At 10 p. m. the wind blew with great fury and there was heavy easterly sea. Had the captain kept on his course as did the unfortunate stranger, the bark Ajace, this ship would also have certainly gone ashore on the treacher- ous Jersey coast

Second Degree.
1kInrhorn. the I1artfera n1ur,lerer.

KInSxhOrm, the Hartford Murderer.
 The Superior Court room at Hartford was crowded yesterday morning by persons inter ested in the Kinghorn murder pase. State Attorney Hammersley, at the opening of the court at 10 o'clock, began his argument the final one in the case. He spoke earnestly and powerfully for an hour and a half. After he had finished Judge Martin addressed the jury for about an hour. The judges charge was certainly as fair towards the prisoner as the prisoners counsel and friends could ask. At 12:3O the case was given to the jury, who retired to their room. At 3:O5 the jury re- turned with verdictof murder in the second degree.
 Kinghorn was not sentenced, but taken al once to jail. He stood leaning on his Jeff arm upon the rail of the prisoners box, and aside from looking trife paler than when the jury entered the room, there was no ap- parent change in his manner when the yer dict was pronounced.
 The witness fees in the Kinghorn case amounted to $38. 50, including mileage.
 This triAl is the first that has taken place in the State where only one judge was on the bench. The change in the law was only recently made.
