GOVERNOR K1RKwooD is said to have
quit the use of tobacco altogether, and
says it was one of the wisest things he
ever did, and that he has found the change
very beneficial to his health. There can
be no doubt of the good sense of his con-
clusion in every respect. Aside from the
unavoidable indelicacy of the tobacco
habit, its offensiveness to those who do
not use it, and its apparent inevitable
effect of taking the fine edge off the man.
ners of those who use it, to the extent of
making them regardless of the rights and
feelings of those who do not, it is one of
the surest means for sapping the strength
of those who use it Unfortunately. We
know of dozen of the ablest and most
useful public men in Iowa who will prob
ably be killed by their reckless Use of to-
bacco before they are fifty years of age.
The physicians of several of these men say
that it is matter of short time at the
longest, when a man of nervous tempera
ment, who smokes fifteen or twenty strong
cigars day and chews tobacco between
times. will die of nervous apoplexy. Such
men are surely killing themselves before
their time, and as surely transmitting the
nervous disease so engendered to their
children.-5hute Register.

Live Cattle Weight BY Measure.

The only instrument necessary is a
measure with feet and inch marks upon
it. The girth is the circumference of the
animal, just behind the shoulder blades.
The superficial feet are obtained by null
tiplying the girth and length. The fol-
lowing are the rules to ascertain the
weight Of the animal:
If less than.on foot in girth, multiply
superficial feet by eight.
If less than three and more than one,
multiply superficial feet by eleven.
If less than five and more than three,
multiply superficial feet by sixteen.
If less than seven and more than five,
multiply superficial feet by twenty three
If less than nine and more than seven,
multiply superficial feet by forty two.
Examples: Suppose the girth of bull
lock be six feet three inches; length, five
feet six inches. The superficial area will
then be thirty-four; and in accordance
with the preceding table, the weight
will then be seven hundred and eighty
two pounds.
Example: Suppose a pig to measure
in girth two feet, and length one foot
nine inches. There would then be three
and half feet, which multiplied by
eleven gives thirty-eight and half
pounds as the weight of the animal when
dressed. In this way the weight of the
four quarters can be substantially ascer-
tanned during life.-Er.

|. Il tariff for revenue only.
II. The tariff the only source of rcvc-
nue..
Under the stress of the civil war we de-
parted from the traditional and constitu-
tional method of raising revenue, and
added to our ancient practice of levying
duties on imports the alien and unconstitu-
tional plan of direct taxation Of individu-
ais through the hated income tax, and the
plan of excise taxation known as the in
ternal revenue system. The unconstitu.
tional income tax was soon swept away,
but the internal revenue system was main
tanned because it paid largely; and it ac-
tually soon became a system of protec-
ton for sundry great manufacturing in
terests such as whiskey making. the max
ing of friction matches. and the making of
tobacco and cigars.
But this system constitutes an innova-
ton upon the ancient usagcs Of the Gov
eminent. and the other objections to it
are grave and manifold Nothing but the
stern necessity of civil war could ever
Justify it; and now, after eighteen years
of peace, it should be utterly abolished,
except only that part of it which imposes
tax on the manufacture of ardent spir-
its, and tbs i>hould merely he tolerated
until the last relic of the civil war shall
disappear with the payment of the last
arrearapc of pcnSiOuS Then the Whiskey
tax must finally be abolished

upon the design for the new two-cent pos
tage stamp. A medallion Of Washington
in panel is the most prominent feature
and half round the top the words United
States postage" are placed. This is a
departure from the present system, where
er portion of the stamp the words 1.-TWO

two. The design is conspicuous for its
plainness, and there is an absence of any

THE wealthy philanthropist, Peter
Cooper, died last Wednesday morning
aged 80 years Feb. 18th. Mr.. Cooper
was the oldest native resident of New
York city. He builded his own fortune,
and used his money largely to benefit the
poorer classes. He built Cooper Insti-
tute, nearly thirty years ago, at a cost of
1854, 600, ito be devoted forever to the
union of art and science in their applica-
ton to the useful purposes of life" It
now counts over 1 800 pupils in the course
Of the year. 1t has day school of art
for women, in which free instruction is
given in drawing, painting, wood-engrav-
ing and photography. 1t has, likewise, a
free school of telegraphy for young
women. In the evening are opened the
free schools of science and art for the
young of both sexes. Here are taught
mathematics. engineering. chemistry,
philosophy, and art. Beside these free
schools, is large free reading room and
library for all corners.
The Pioneer Press says truly: mo
man has done more to soften the bitter
ness with which the rich are regarded by
the poor, and to promote spirit of mu-
tual kindliness by which alone a nation
grows strong in all its parts. He was low
ed and reverenced by the people, and no
murmur of discomfort at the accumula-
ton of immense fortunes ever connected
itself with his name. While rich men of
ten times his natural ability and educa'
ton live only to be regarded with envy
and die only to be forgotten, he has built
his own enduring monument And if by
this same act he regained what he gave by
reason of the popular reputation of phi
lanthropist, the lesson to others to do
likewise is only reinforced by two-fold
sanction. This land should be covered
with institutions reared by private NUM-
f1cence and devoted to the public good,
and a Cooper Union should be in every
city worthy of the name. The man of
business cannot make better investment
or the man of wealth DESTROYS of perpet-
uating his name build himself more in
destructible mausoleum. The old moral
of the duties imposed by the possession Of
riches has few better illustrations or ex-
amples than the life of Peter Cooper.
