American Beer.

For some years past a decided incli-
nation has been apparent all over the
country to give up the use of whisky
and other strong alcohols, using as a
substitute beer and other compounds.
This is evidently founded ON the idea
that beer is not harmful, and contains
a large amount of nutriment; also that
bitters may have some medical quality
which will neutralize the alcohol it con-
ceals, etc These theories are without
confirmation in the observations of ply
sicians The use of beer is found to
produce a species of degeneration of ala
the organism; profound and deceptive
Fatty deposits, diminished circulation,
conditions of congestion, and perver-
sion of functional actiyies, local inflam-
nations of both the liver and kidneys
are constantly present intellectually,
stupor amounting almost to paralysis
arrests the reason, changing all the
higher faculties into mere animalism,
sensual, selfish, sluggish, varied only
with paroxysms of anger that are
senseless and brutal In appearance
the beer drilker may be the picture
OF health, but in reality he is most
incapable of resisting disease. A slight
injury. a severe cold or shock to the
body or mind, will commonly provoke
acute disease ending fatally. Compared
with inebriates who use different kinds
of alcohol, he is more incurable and
more generally diseased. The constant
use of beer every day gives the system
no recuperation but steadily lowers the
vital forces. 1t is our observation that
beer drinking in this country produces
the very lowest kind of inebriety, close
" allied to criminal insanity. The
most dangerous class OF ruffians in our
large cities are beer drinkers. 1t is as
serted by competent authority that the
evils of heredity are more positive in
this class than from other alcoholics.
Recourse to beer as a substitute for
other forms of alcohol merely increases
the danger and fatality. In bitters we
have drink which can never become
general; its chief danger will be in
strengthening the disordered craving,
which later will develop the positive
disease. Public sentiment and legisla-
ton should comprehend that all forms
OF alcohol are dangerous when used

Alcoholic Consumption.

DIR. Richardson, T. r, S., of England,
was the first to discover that while con-
sumption, in the majority of cases, is
due to hereditary faint, or to impure
air and bad surroundings. in certain
proportion of cases it is due solely to
drinking of alcoholic liquors. He
gathered his views from the careful
study of two thousand cases in a hos
pital of which he was the physician.
This discovery published by him in
1864 has been confirmed by other OBJ
servers since.
The victims are in middle life, OF
great natural endurance. often models
of organic symmetry and power, and
active in mind and body. The very
perfection Of their organization makes
them feel wholly safe in their indul--
gence. They can drink hard, they are
not in the ordinary sense, drunkards.
They look the picture OF manly strength
and robust health. Says Dr.. Richard
son: more than half of those whom
| have seen stricken down with alco-
holic phthisis have said that they never
had days illness in their lives, but
When closely questioned it was found
that none had recently been quite well. y
The ailments, however, were such as
5he alcohol had already induced. an adj
ditional Quantity of which had seemed
to set them right again.
The countenance of the alcoholic
ronsumptive differs as much from the
ordinary consumptive, as it does from
that Of the confirmed sot. His face to
the last seems full of health. Says our
authority; 4 remember being actually

scientific Farming.

Chemistry has taught that the soil is
not mere mass of earth, TO be unintel,
ligently turned over, and toiled over,
but that it holds most of the elements
indispensable to successful culture. Our
unaided senses alone can not discern
the different gases or elements OF which
our atmosphere is composed. The same
may be affirmed of the soil. Our senses
must be aided by science, observation
and practical tests, in order to learn the
true state of facts in the vegetable econ
Omy, and to obtain success from toll.
Since the first garden was planted. and
man was placed in it to dress and to
keep it, and to eat of the fruit, garden
ing and husbandry have occupied a
prominent and honorable place in his
tory, and received a conspicuous atten-
ton from the most progressive nations.
The science of chemistry has given
an additional interest to the occupa-
ton. 1t treats of those elements of the
air, Of water, and OF the earth, which
are called into requisition in the won
derful growth and maturity of vegeta-
ton. Chemistry classes all matter I'M
der two chief diyisions-organic and in
organic. Organic matter is more i'm
mediately connected with and derived
from the elements of the air. The ele-
r11ents Of the air are carbon, oxygen,
nitrogen and carbonic acid. Inorganic
matter is derived from the soil In our
agricultural studies it is classified under
the following divisions: Silica, potash,
phosphoric acid, lime, soda, magnesia,
sulphuric-acid, alumina and chlorine.
Water is the great absorbent, carrier
and solvent of all these elements, or
ganic and inorganic. It absorbs many
times its own bulk OF the fertilizing
gases of the air, and gives off in dew
and rain to vegetation, while it is itself
absorbed by Inorganic ma ter and be-
comes a solvent and DISCOVER of the
same. Thus it performs the royal Of
flee of conveying nourishment for vege-
table construction. We are impressed
when we behold the mighty power and
volume of the ocean, or when the gath
cred force of river sweeps onward
with irresistible power but water in
the capacity of a builder in the Yegeta-
bic economy, engages our more studious
admiration. 1t is Gods terrestrial
agents operating by solar power and
energy, molding matter to give delight
to the eye, qualification to the taste,
fragrance to the air and the sense of
smell, adornment and beauty to the
landscape. 1t is related of Thales, one
of the seven wise men OF Greece, whom
Cicero belieged to be the wisest or most
learned of the seven, that he held water
to be the first principle of all things,
and that God was that intelligent being
by whom all things were formed from
water. The science of chemistry teaches
that water is not single principle, or
element, but composed of two elements,
oxygen and hydrogen. 1t presents
many remarkable and interesting quail
ties outside of its Office in the yegeta BILE
economy.--N Y. Observer.

Horrible Murder By lramps.


DULUTH Mimi, June 10.--Just before
dinner time last Saturday Mrs. Ann En-
icka, the wife Of farmer who lived few
miles from Hormantown, went to neigh
Dor for milk. She obtained it, and
started for home. She failed to
put in appearance at dinner when the hus-
band came home for his meal. He became
anxious and started for the neighbours. On
his way there he found mans shirt, some
cartridges, and the remains of fire where
tramps had been camping, and near them
his wife's shoes and the milk pail. He
soon discovered his wife had been there and
started for home. He became
alarmed and search was instituted.
Tbs community was aroused and
search was made until two p. IN. yesterday,
when the body of Mrs 'Enicka was found.
She was the victim of the most horrible
butchery ever known in this part of the
country. She had been shot in the temple
twice. outraged, and then put on a log head
downward, where her bowels were cut open,
and her body otherwise mangled in man
ner too horrible for print. The community
is greatly excited, and it will go hard With
the daStardS if they are caught.

Horse Grooming.

The grooming of horse is very i'm
portant part of the owners duty to his
animal. It is means for securing the
necessary action of the skin, which is
one of the most effective excretory out
let's of the animal system. The skin
excretes a much larger quantity of mat
ter than the kidneys and the bowels, but
as it consists of yapor the copiousness
of the excretion is not noticed or even
suspected But this excretory function
of the skin makes it indispensable, for
the healthful condition of the horse,
that thorough grooming twice a day
should not be neglected. The brush is
the best implement for this purpose;
but few men whose business it is tolcare
for horses do their whole duty in regard
to the use of the brush. 1t is not the
surface of the hairy coat which needs
brushing merely to procure an artificial
and temporary gloss. The skin itself
should be cleansed from all the adher-
ent scales of exfoliated matter derived
from the. dried excretory moisture or
Eperspiration. This puts the skin in an
EXCELLENT condition, and the healthfUl
laction of the skin affects favorably the
hair and gives it a desirable and hand
some gloss and 5oftness, which are the
certain indications of health.-M I.
