HEzEKIAH FRAZIER came down
from Kanawha, Tuesday of last week,
and became intoxicated. During the
night he went to the wharfboat to
board the steamer Boone to return
home. 1t is not known how he
missed his footing and got into the
water. An employe Of a steamboat
saw the body of a man, half submerg-
ed, pass by the boats guards and he
passed a pole to him. Frazier appear
ed to be unconscious for he did not
cry out and the head hung limp from
the shoulder. The ice was running
heavily and it is supposed that he was
caught between two pieces and crush
ed. He leaves wife and two children,
with an estate of about $4,000. A
liberal reward is offered by his rela=
tives for the recovery of the body.
The following description has been
furnished us:-Dressed in black suit
s-a plaid flannel shirt, red and black
knit drawers, gray-white yarn hose
and gum boots-about six feet high,
slender made, seed wart on the little
finger Of his right hand-38 years old.

THE NEW WEAR

A year renew'd, the thought renews
OF times perpetual flight;
Beyond its bounds extends our views
To regions out of sight.
Time bears unnumbered myriads on,
Nor leaves behind their trace;
And we shall go as they have gone,
And others take our place.
And notes how we improve;
But every day and hour we lose
Is registered above.
But time shall end, to each how soon
Before its final close;
Some rest at dawn and some at noon,
And some at eve repose.

A PHYSICIANS Memoranda.
CAUSE OF NERVOUS DISEASES

Most writers on this subject attrib-
ute the great increase in the number
of nervous patients to mental worry"
from one cause or another. While
this is to some extent true, | am firmly
convinced that majority Of such
cases owe their origin to the use of
alcoholic stimulants and tobacco. DIR.
Hammond has taken occasion to men
ton fourteen different nervous dis
eases caused by the habitual use of
alcohol, and there is hardly country
practitioner with the scantiest prac-
tice who can not confirm his state
ment Both alcohol and tobacco act
first on the nervous system, and the
other affections that usually follow
are mere consequences of the nervous
disorder. Paralysis, the most fatal Of
nervous diseases, claims over one-half
of it's victims from the army Of smok-
ers and drinkers. Sleeplessness and
the so-called nervous dyspepsia of the
present day are also in large per-
centage of instances due to the use of
one or both Of these poisonous agents,
and the list might be extended almost
indefinitely.
SUDDEN DEATHS.
Whenever person dies suddenly
disease of the heart is usually thought
to be the cause. This, however, is an
erroneous idea, an autopsy most fire.
quently revealing congestion OF some
other vital organ-notably the lungs
or brain. Most cases of congestion
occur in middle-aged and elderly peo-
pie. during the first cold weather, the
chilling of the extremities causing
the blood to leave the surface and set
tie on the internal organs. Persons
of a rheumatic habit also add con-
siderable number to the list of sudden
deaths, the metastasis or translation
of the disease from some other part Of
the body to the brain proving speedily
fatal. Bright's disease often termin-
ates in sudden death, and that too in
many instances, without the patient
ever having any idea that he was dis
eased. Patients with dropsy of the
chest frequently fall dead while
attending to their usual business and
without any warning. Certain con-
ditions of the blood leading to the
formation of clots cause sudden death,
and many other causes might be
enumerated, the heart in most in
stances being found in perfectly
normal state.
CoNCER OF THE TONGUE FROM SMOKING.
In a recent number of The Tribune
Medicale M. Deslonde calls attention
to a hitherto undescribed affection of
the tongue caused by the habit of to-
bacco smoking, asserts that it may ex-
ist for several years without detection
except by the aid of microscope, and
that its usual tendency is to degener-
ate into cancer Of the tongue In con-
firmation of NJ Deslonde's statement,
the late United States Senator Hill

ated his life, after long agony, Ell.

l gave myself twenty-four hours to put
on the fancy touches. Scrubbers start

ers. Then the whole stock was brushed
up, the fresh sides of the boxes were
turned outward, unsightly objects were
flung into the yard or under the coun-
ter and cheap but extremely lively
oilcloth was put down where it would
make the best show. Then came the
stocking up. This is an art by itself,
and great deal of your success in this
business depends upon 1t. You see,
you must so arrange that in selling out
you will not only get paid for your 'bus-
mess, which has cost YOU nothing, but
make profit on your stock, which has
cost next door to it. OF course, choose
the cheapest but showiest articles for q
business like this, as the man L propose

Michigan Farmer.
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1883-11-02

where the deadly fires OF two years ago
devastated the woodlands SO terribly.
causing the loss of hundreds of lives and
millions of dollars worth of property.
A well-informed resident of Michigan,
who lives but few miles from the
scene OF that horror, has described 1t to
me, not as burning forest in the ordi-
nary sense, but cyclone of flame,
marked in characters of fro by many
OF the phenomena of wind tornadoes.
In some way the forces generated
powerful volume of air, filled with gases
in combustion, and penetrated with al
most supernatural heat. 1t was sort
of earthly counterpart of those tornadoes
of fiery gas which men of science tell us
sweep over the incandescent envelope
of the sun. Wherever it touched the
ground this flaming destroyer consum-
ed. Woods, fences, houses, cattle, and
human beings were not merely burned
but almost vaporized. Often the whirl-
wind left behind marked track of ruin
with clearly-delineated sides. One
man would be taken; another few feet
away would be left. Half of a line of
fence would be destroyed utterly, while
the remaining half would not be even
scorched. The whirlwind of heat, like
cyclone of wind, sometimes bounded
from the earth only to descend again
and lick up the houses and forests. 1t
leaped over fields and rivers in an in
slant, converting the surface waters in
to steam, and finally stopped its career
of destruction, not because of lack of
fuel, but because its strange fiery ener-
gy was in some occult way exhausted.
AS proving its peculiar cyclonic quality,
there is well-authenticated story of q
farmer who had left his pantaloons in
the middle of ten-acre lot. In the
pockets were five trade dollars, and
when he returned after the swift passage
of the flaming whirlwind he found only
lump of melted silver where he had
left the coins. Looking upon the enor-
nous mass of pine trees and vegetation
which line the Au Sable, conceiving
their inflammable condition during
drought, and then glacing anew at the
open burned spaces, with their huge
charred tree-trpnks, one could easily
imagine that the stories about the Mich
igan forest fires of 1881 were neither
fanciful nor exaggerated.
