Mr.. CooMBs' bill making 1t INSIDE
meanor for railroad engineers and con-
ductors to be drunk when running a
train may be right as moral principle
and in the interests of safety to human
life, but it is a question with which the
management of railroads are compelled
70 deal, and those familiar with the eff
forts being made by railroad managers
to stop the evil will not think such a
law necessary at this time. There are
more important matters for the legisla-
ture to attend to. Many members
think they are carrying out the wishes
II the public by leRislating to control
railroads In minor matters, but they
will learn in time that other subjects OF
greater Importance TO the growing in
terests OF Texas should attract the in
teIligence and efforts of legislators.

There is probably no food better
adapted to forcing healthy, rapid
growth of young stock than ground oil
cake, and in fact we might say there is
no food better for all kinds of stock.
Old broken down horses are made to
look sleek and fat by feeding oil cake,
while the young stock can be forced in
growth to wonderful extent. Corn
and oats are hard to digest for young
stock, and often cause disease both in
the stomach and mouth. We frequent
ly hear complaints that calves and colts
are not doing well, although fed an
abundance of grain, and have invaria-
bly, found in such cases that they were
troubled either with constipation or
sore mouth, or both. The first years
growth on a calf or colt is worth more
than the two following, and should be
crowded as fast as possible. During
the first year the foundation is laid,
and Elf dwarfed and cramped from
starvation or neglect, can only make a
scrub at maturity. The time to make
large frames is during the first year,
and without large frames the prospect
for draft or beef are by no means en-
couraging.

was Chung Lee, who came in 1877, and
opened quite pretentious tea store on

whipping an Atlanta policeman, sold out
his establishment and moved to New
Orleans. For three years Atlanta was

All of them are in the laundry business,

FOR THE FARM AND HOME


Scratches, or grease, in horse, is
due to disordered blood, loaded with
impurities which should have been
carried off through the kidneys or
bowels. 1t usually accompanies uri-
nary disorder, and is most prevalent
among horses which are fed largely
upon grain. Exposure of the legs to
mud or wet, or melting snow, aggra-
Yates the condition of the skin, and
assists in the inaammatory eruption.
The treatment should be to give cool
ing medicines, as twelve to sixteen
ounces of Epson salts, followed by
mild diureticS, as one ounce doses of
sweet spirits Of inter. But a change
of food will be helpful; give bran
mash, with some cut roots if possible.
Wash the legs in warm water and soft
soap, and then apply solution of one
dram of sulphate of zinc in pint of
water. The inter should be continued
for ten days or two weeks. The legs
must be strictly protected from con-
tact with manure or mud.

America Ahead.

think there are not more than three
nations on the earth which can COM
pete with the Americans in the manu-.
featuring spirt-Germany considered
as a whole Great Britain, France
There is hardly anything to be made
which tho Americans do not make.
Many things they make better and
cheaper than elsewhere on the globe.
You take all the components of a
house, and house is much of life, and
the Americans can probably build a
cheaper house than any existing ma
ton. They can also furnish that
house cheaper than any other. They
can probably dress man and woman
as cheap as any nation but one or two,
and l fancy that if they were hard put
to the test they could dress people
cheaper that any other country,
though in some points of manufacture
they would fall below the general
standard.

Mr.. Arkell, editor of the Albany Jour-.
nal, who is only tnirtv-one years of age,
has most remarkable history, writes q
correspondent of the New York World
He is the son Of Senator Arkell. He
was in his fathers factory when he was
seventeen years of age, at the moment
OF terrible gasoline explosion. The
workman who was with young Arkell
was blown out of sight. Not enough
was left of him to be gathered together
for Identification. Young Arkell, who
did not lose consciousness, covered his
mouth and eyes, and made dash for
the door. The building in which the
explosion took place became filled at
once with black smoke.
The boy butted his way with his head
through five doors, going literally
through fire. In his passage he became
frightfully burned. The time of the &C.
cidcnt' was winter, When he finally
reached the outer air he rolled in the
snow, and left in the snow the front and
back of both OF his hands and the cover
ing of much of the lower part of his face.
He was burned SO hopelessly that the
doctors for long time despaircd of him.
Senator Arkell, who was on one of the
upper floors of the building when the
explosion took place, escaped by drop
ping from window down fall of
twenty-five feet upon strip of bare
rock.
His son was in bed for two years. His
face was so badly burned that it was I'M.
possible for the natural skin to recover
1t. His hands were equally afflicted.
Senator Arkell discovered in his reading
experiments in the direction of trans.
planting skin from one person to another.
He asked the surgeons in charge of his
son to try this experiment. The result
was one of the most interesting known
in the chapters of surgery.
Upon The face Of young Mr.. Arkell
there were transplantcd $50 pieces Of
skin from the arms of various people.
The result is that his face was entirely
built up, so that to.day, while he bears
very heavy scars, he yet looks very well,
considering what he has been through.

The Worlds Champion,

Mr.. Edward Hanlan, the great oars
man, and until his recent contest with
Beach in Australia, the champion of
the world, may certainly be looked upon
as an authority in everything affecting
athletic sports. Before leaving Aus
tralia for this country, he wrote a let
ter in which he stated that he had used
st. Jacobs Oil with the most beneficial
results. lie found it a reliable remedy
for muscular pains in the arms and
limbs, and from his personal expert
ence took great pleasure in recommend
ing it. No stronger proof of the truth
of what is claimed for st. Jacobs Oil
could be furnished than this, and it
will undoubtedly carry great weight
with all thoughtful and intelligent
people.

Temperance people who think 1t wrong
for doctors to prescribe alcohol, will be
interested to know that medicine has
been found which may, in many diseases,
be substituted for it. DIR. Burroughs, in
the Therapeutic Gazette, states that nitro
glycerine as heart stimuant Is far su.
peror to brandy, and may be given with
confidence whenever the administration
of brandy is indicated. Two drops of a
one per cent. solution are equivalent to
an ounce of brandy, and the effects of
the drug are felt Immediately. Ii creates
no unnatural craving. The doctor gives
a detailed account of the cases in which
he has employed it, and finds, after an
extensive experience, that it is of great
value in shock from accidents, faintness
after surgical operations, failure of the
hearts action due to chloform, for opium
poisoning, asthma, and the collapse Of
feyers

from the doctor that to try an expert

from the doctor that to try an expert
ment he had purchased bag of finely
ground limestone, and going into the
centre of his field, he had sowed by
hand in the form of these letters to
see if it would have any effect upon
the grass, and this was the wonderful
result. The grass forming these let
tiers was double in quantity, and of
quite a different color"
While this is an exceedingly salts
factory experiment, it must not be
taken as conclusive as a proof that the
ground limestone would always have
this remarkable result. Indeed, there
are circumstances known in which no
effect whatever has been noticed from
a similar application. The secret, we
think, lies in the fact that DR.. Sharp
in his farm practice has followed a
very excellent and skillful method of
supplying his soil literally with car
bonaceous matters. Having a very
just appreciation of the value of this
kind of manure he has applied it free
ly to his soil. The land is, therefore,
well supplied with organic forms of
carbon compounds, especially carbonic
acid. 1t is known fact that lime,
stone is freely dissolved in water con,
tanning carbonic acid, while it may be
insoluble in water that is devoid of
this solvent This is point of great
Importance, and should be taken into
consideration. II is consistent with
the general fact that special fertilizers
are most useful in soils rich in organic
matter, and very often wholly inert
otherwise. This fact seems to explain
why ground limestone is so variously
estimated, and why in one case it is
remarkably effective and in others
quite the reverse. --NelO York Times

Household Hints.

The lustre of morocco is restored by
vanishing it with the white of an
egg. Apply with sponge.
Kid shoes can be kept soft and free
from cracks by rubbing them once a
week with pure glycerine or castor
oil.
Stovepipes can be cleaned by putting
piece Of zinc on the Goals of a hot
fire, The vapor produced carries off
the SCOT by chemical decomposition.
If people will use porcelain teapot
which has been well scalded before the
tea is put in, and place it wherei it will
be kept quite hot before pouring on
the boiling water, they will find the
aroma perfectly preserved, The round
porcelain teapot with narrow spout and
very small opening, just large enough
to put in the dry tea with a teaspoon,
is the best shape. The old rule, "a
teaspoonful for each cup and one for
the pot" is a safe one.
