An Animated Sledge- Hammer.

One of the most singular incidents that we
have recorded for long time occurred at Patsal-
aga creek, in Talbot county, and not very far
from Howard Station. Mr.. VIM. Heath was
driving a COW and young calf along the
road, and when they came to the creek the
COW stopped in order to drink. On the oppo-
site side of the creek and few feet of stood
a large ram. As the cow was drinking
she would frequently lift her head as
if uneasy about ner calf. The ram took this
as banter for fight, and walking up near
the COW, reared up and gave her but GEN.
trally in the head and killed the COW almost
instantly. Mr.. Heath ran up, thinking that
the COW would soon recover, as he thought
she was only stunned. but in this he was
mistaken. as it was a death stroke.-C Coium-

The Curse OF Chloral.

The Medical News of Philadelphia reiterates
| the earnest warning recently given in the
London Lancet against the curse of choral.
The text of the warning is the case of the
late artist-poet, Dante Rossetti, who, suffer-
ing from insomnia, sought choral for relief,
"only to experience greater evils in hor-
rible nervousness, irritahility and depression
of the vegetative functions" The peculiar
sensitiveness which he exhibited in his later
years, his gradual withdrawal from social
circles and his entire surrender TO melancholy,
were the results of choral sleep. The News
remarks that physicians should be careful
about prescribing chloral for nervous and
literary persons suffering from wakefulness.
This is symptom of some violated hygienic
principle, some bodily arrangement, which
being corrected, natural sleep would follow
But il the brain is once drowned in chloral
sleep, the remedy seems so grateful that the
organ refuses to be comforted in any other
way when wakefulness returns. Besides the
objection that it is a bad habit TO force sleep
by a narcotic, chloral Injuries the cells of the
gray matter of the cerebrum, weakens the
heart, causes structural changes in the liver,
and impairs the nutrition. The decay Of the
bodily powers in these cases is sad, but more
sad are the psychical arrangements which
make the incarceration of many Of these
subjects in asylums finally necessary. The
Medical News remarks in this connection
Especially cautious in prescribing chloral
should be American physicians, whose clients,
immersed in the ceaseless activity of life
here, are peculiarly apt to suffer from in.
somnia. To them, an agent which forces
sleep, despite the conditions inducing wake
fulness, is peculiarly grateful. In making
haste to be rich, all other considerations
must yield. The time for the necessary re-
pose cannot be given the notifications re-
quired in the daily life for the healthful per-
torrance of the cerebral functions are too
rksome; the relief must be given without
interference with the daily methods, and,
therefore, how opportune the action of chloral.
1t can scarcely surprise us that, under such
circumstances. the physician, despairing of
better methods. falls in with the use Of an
agent which postpones troublesome questions
to future time. Our asylum statistics,
showing the baleful effects Of chloral, indicate
at the same time the need of less question
able ways of attacking that restlessness OF
the mind, insomnia and irritability, which
are preludes to psychical arrangements.

SIX POINTS.
ALL WORTH Remembering,
VCUT THEM OUT.a

People take nauseating doses for every
pain and ache, which put their stomachs out
of order, and then a physician is called to
attend to them. This is all needless, for if
the Hop Plaster is used, it is absorbed into
the system IN just the way to cure without
bringing on other troubles
A medicine to be popular must be both
agreeable and efficacous; the Hop Plaster is
a rare union of vegetable agents combined
with safety, reliability and effectiveness The
indiscriminate use of medicines taken inter-
nally is far more productive of injury than of
benefit.
The most powerfully medicated and effec-
tive plaster ever evented is the Hop Plaster;
it embodies all the medicinal and sedative
properties of the Hop in combination with
the most highly approved gums and balsams
known to modern pharmacy.
The Hop Plaster is made porous. thus
allowing the free evaporation of moisture,
stimulating the innumerable pores of the body
to a healthy action and giving tone and vigor
to the whole system. 1t is the discovery of a
Yankee chemist.
The medicinal virtues of the Hop have been
utilized for centuries; they are all concentra-
ted in the Hop Plaster, and do more real good
in relieving pain than any root, drug or herb
liquid medicine in the whole domain of nature.
Hop Pasters are sold by all druggists in
the United States and Canada, (25 cents each
or 5 for ST. and are guaranteed to be the best
in the markets. Avoid cheap, worthless goods.

Three or four animals found at the home

yearlings very small and weak, with every
indication of semi-starvation." Twenty grea.
apple trees, some with stems two feet in di
ameter, growing in field near the barn
where the cattle and mules were turned to
exercise, were found peeled of ''the last frag.
ment of bark as high up as an animal chuld

ally put. he said he had about 15 cows in
milk, including 'strippers,' and that the pro.
duct is now seven 10 gallon cans"-which is
an average of 3 l-2 quarts per COW. He
declared that 20 pounds of corn ensilage
and four quarts of bran is enough for any an.
imal. and that his stock had wintered well
on It. The account-which is painfully
suggestive-concludes with the remark that il
the cattle in question had 20 pounds each
per day go pounds would be about right, for
they are certainly twothirds starved"
What object Mr.. Mills could have in
making such exaggerated statements we
can hardly surmise, when we consider
that such unfounded allegations if disnov-
cred could hardly do otherwise than dam
age the cause Of ensilage. There are
other apostles besides Mr.. Mills who
have made very high sounding claims for
ensilage. Would it not be well in view
of the discoveries made at Mr. Mills's
farm to investigate these other claims.
and if the facts do not warrant them, to
let the farmers know it so that they shall
not be drawn into building silos by mis-
representations We believe that ens-
lage is success, but not in so great a
degree as some claim. The ensilage be-
ing in moist state undoubtedly has ad-
vantage over food in a dry form. by reason
of its being more digestible, but the as.
sertlon that corn fodder or any other green
crop ensilaged possesses more nutritive
element than the same forage in a green
state is all moonshine, and cannot be up-
held by any logic whatever.
