POisOnOus Honey.

Few people know that in bad seasons
honey is apt to be poisonous. This
arises from he fact that in such sea.
sons tho bees are obliged to gather il
from poison flowers, Great care should
be taken to rem we al poisonous plants
from the neiglnorhood Of the hives. A
specimen of .oney from Trebzond,
gathered from the rhodordron pontirun
which is common in that neighbo hood
was sent in 1884, by Mr.. Keith +.
Abbott, to the geological Society OF
London, and in 1874 it still retained
ts poisonous qualities, In 1890 great
many people in Philadelphia died from
ealing honey gathered from the flowers
of he kalna latitoiia. In good seasons
the bees avoid poisonous plants.

SORGHUM, WEST AND SoUTH.-The
sorghum sugar question in the West
is something like the beet sugar, not
quite settled. The Western farmers
certainly do not show so much enthu-
siasm in the business as they did two
or three years ago. The ordinary yield
is much below the extrayagant state
ments made about the early amber cane
three or four years since. At the South
Louisiana planters are urged to try and
test the different and most approved
kinds of sorghums, and see what they
will do on the rich lands of that State,
though they are advised not to risk large
surfaces in this crop until they have
given it fair trial on small scale.
The trouble in cleaning the stalks of
sorghum Of their leaves is one great
drawback, and the small yield another,
and uncertain market value of the syrup
and uncertain market value of the
the syrup and molasses another. Ex-
perts express the conviction that it will
take ten years Of experiments to satisfy
the Western people whether they will
make this one of their great industries
or let it remain among the small indus
tries.-[New York Commercial Bulletin.

And he dram bf the wine and was

make our father drink wine, 1882 3333 "a
and 80. And Melchizideck King of Sa-
lem, brought forth bread and wine; and
ne was the priest of the most high God ;
Genesis HIS. And he said, bring it
near to me, and | will eat of my sons
Venlson, that my soul may bless thee.
And he brought it near to him, and he
dld eat; and he brought him wine, and
he drank, Genesis s7-25. Therefore
God gave thee of the dew of Heaven,
and OF the fatness of the earth plenty
OF corn and wine. Genesis 27-2S. Thou
shalt not delay to offer the first of thy
ripe fruits, and of thy liquors.: Exodus
2-s9. And the fourth part of his wine

The parish Of Lafourche owes no man
anything.
The. town of Thibodeaux owes no
man anything,
SO much for Police Juries and Muni-
cipal councils who had the nerve to re-
fuse to listen to croakers and GROWERS
and who created no debts.
The constitution of this State hence
forth prevents such bodies from crea-
ting debts and in the future taxations
need not be high in either Parish OF
town and all the necessary works OF
utility be done.
BY paying cash for services rendered
the expenses of both town and Parish
are about half what they otherwise

TIE TREATMENT OF CONSTIPATION
BY THE SWEDISH MOVEMENT CURE.-In
order the more readily to convey def
mite idea of the principles Oh which the
Swedish movement cure is based, and
the mode in which these principles
shohld be carried into practice execu
ton for the relief of chronic constipa
ton, DR.. Benjamin Lee, at Il recent
meeting of the Philadelphia County
Medical Society, stated that, in addition
to the movements which afforded
the introduction of oxygen in the blood, !,
the rapid rotation of the entire trunk
upon the pelvis promoted activity i'll the
portal circulation and stimulated per-
istaltic action of the intestines; that, in
order to relieve congestion of the liver
patient should assume an attitude that
would place the muscles of the right
side strongly on the stretch, while the
operator produced rapid vibration
of the particles of the chest and abdo-
men Immediately over the liver. FL
nally the patient assuming recumbent
posture, thorough kneading of the abdo-
men is given, followed by pressure and
vibration over the solar pleXus. The
circulation of all the abdominal viscera
is thus stimulated, the passage Of both
chyle and faces through the almentary
canal is aided, healthy secretion is pro-
noted, undue accumulations of mucus
are discharged, and the great nervous
centers of the organic system are
reused into the highest state Of activity
There are very few cases of constipa-
ton, however obstinate, which will re-
sist fortnight of this treatment daily,
and many cases will yield in a week.
The manipulation occupies about one
hour.-[Medical and Surgical Reporter

AN NUNANswERABLE ARGUMENT.-Our
clergymen of the present day are evil
dently bewildered by Ingersoll's daring
ridicule, and they are not altogether
successful in their efforts to answer him.
Many preachers and professors of
theology make palpable blunders in
their rash endeavors to meet scientists
on their own ground in disputes. But
there is one argument that all the In
gersolls that ever lived cannot answer
one weapon at the service of every
Christian which all the scientists in the
world cannot resist-an imitation of the
life of the Master. This is beyond the
reach of the logic of criticism and the
demonstrations of the laboratory. Tt is
more inVulnerable than triples-plated
armor; it is a perpetual proof of the
supernatural.

The closing sentence in Jefferson
Davis history of the war is as follows ;
:" In asserting the rioht ce ce secession it
has not been my wish to incite to its
exercise. recognize the fact that the
war showed it to be impractieahle, but
this did not prove 1t to be wrong, and
now that it may not be again attempted
and that union may promote the general
welfare, it is needful that the truth, the
whole truth, should be known, so that
elimination and recrimination may for
ever cease, and then on the basis of
fraternity and faithful regard for the
rights Of the States there may be writ
ten on the arch of the Union este per-
petua."
