In the British Medical Journal DR.. W. Rob.
erts, of England, discusses the effect of
liquors, tea, coffee and cocoa on digestion.
All Of them retard the chemical processes,
but most of them stimulate the glandular
activity and muscular contractions. Dis
titled spirits retard the salivary or peptio
digestion but slightly when sparingly used.
Wines were found to be highly injurious
TO salivary digestion. On peptic digestion
all wines exert a retarding influence, They
stimulate tho glandular and muscular &C
tivity Of the stomach. Effervescent wines
exert the greatest amount Of good with
the least harm TO digestion. When ones
digestion liz out Of order everything goes
awry, unless, MS in tho case Of 7. T. Seals,
OF Bellaire, Ohio, who had had bad dys-
pepsia for seven years, the digestive appar-
atus Is kept In npplo-pie eating order by
Warmers Tippecanoe, the best appetite
producer and regulator in tho world.

BOGUS butter-A goat without horns
Rochester Post.
The Value Of the Percheron Stud
Book of France.

It contains the pedigrees and brief
descriptions of about five thousand of
the best bred Perchcrons, and none
but the produce of recorded sire and
dam are now eligible to entry. Every
one is familiar with the old breeding
axiom, Like begets like or the likeness
of some of its ancestors" From this
alone the most obtuse mind will readily
perceive that knowledge of those
ancestors is as necessary to the sue
cessful breeder as the perfection of the
animal himself. Stud books are histo-
ries of the individuals of breed. and
are, therefore, the only means by which
the value of any animal for breeding
purposes can be measured; while the
worth of animals of unknown ancestry,
however fine they may be, individually,
can only be ascertained by experiment.
This is the reason why animals of es-
tablished pedigrees, tracing through a
line of excellent ancestry, always COM
mand higher prices. In this advanced
age of scientific breeding any person
attempting to disparage the value OF
'pedigrees, or opposing improvement
through the means of stud books, must
be actuated by selfish motives and
should be regarded with suspicion
There are many horses being imported
from France, Of whose origin nothing
5 known.

Crows Can Count Four.

Leroy, who, though he expresses the
opinion that ''the nature of the soul of
animals is unimportant," was an excel
lent observer, mentions case in which
man was anxious to shoot a crow.
ITO deceive this suspicious bird, the
plan was hit upon of sending two men
to the watchhouse, one of whom passed
on, while the other remained; but
the crow counted and kept her
distance. The next day three
went, and again she perceived that only
two retired. In fine, it was found nee
essary to send five or six men to the
watchhouse to put her out in her calcu-
lation. The crow, thinking that this
number of men had passed by, lost no
time in returning" From this he in
ferred that crows could count up to four.
Lichtenberg mentions nightingale
which was said to count up to three.
Every day he gave it three mealworms,
one at time; when it had finished one
it returned for another, but after the
third it knew that the feast was over.

Drying Seed Corn.

The old plan of hanging the seed corn
to the joists ofthe kitchen by the husks,
which had been stripped back and
plated together for the purpose, always
seemed to make "seed that would
grow" because it was thoroughly dried,
says contemporary. Not many
farmers wives will allow their kitchens
to be cluttered up this way nowadays;
and so we suggest that the corn be
hung in the smoke house and regularly
smoked, like hams. This will secure its
thorough drying, which is the essential
point, and the smoke will tend to keep
birds and insects at a respectful dis
lance when planted, But, what ever
plan you may adopt, be sure that the
seed is thoroughly dried before it is
reached by cold weather.-Hdianapohs

Persons and then Commits Suicide.
DILLON, NJ. T., December l3.-Shortlv
after midnight last night Moses Morrison,
one of the proprietors of the Nevada ca
loon, in this town, was about closing the
saloon for the night. He invited several
parties to take drink with him Among
the crowd was a gambler by the name of
Hiram Perry. While the drinks were be-
ing set up woman named frankie Riley
came in and was invited by Morrison
to join the party in an oyster sup.
per. The woman started in advance of the
crowd, and the whole party except Perry
went into a restaurant. About the time
Morrison turned from the clerks desk
Perry began to use some abusive language
toward Morrison and the woman. Nor
rison stepped outside the door and Perry
said: II have notion to kill YOU
and her and myself. and end this
trouble" and as he spoke drew a large
army pistol and shot Morrison, the ball Gu
Simultaneous Perry then turned and fired
at the woman, who was retreating through
the back door of the restaurant His aim
was good, but some one saw the revolver
leveed in that direction and pulled the
woman aside. The ball shattered her right
arm. Perry then placed the pistol to his
own head and blew out his brains.
DR.. Pckmau amputated the womans arm,
and she is thought to be in danger of
dying. The woman, jealousy and whisky
played their usual parts, and played them
well. Morrison was liked very much and
was well known among Western politicians.
He ran for Assessor of Beaverhead County
last spring. Hiram Perry, the murderer
and suicide, was raised in Ogden, Utah,
and was the son Of Mormon bishop, and
got the better of him and he became a
| professional.

HIRED MANS POKER.

How Shrewd Wife Prejudiced Her Les
ser Half Against His Servant.
The other morning, as the Colonel
put on his overcoat to 60 out, his wife
calmly observed:
"You haven't been in luck lately"
"In luck! Howl"
How much have you dropped on
poker in the last two weeksp"
He looked at her long time and
never attempted word in reply.
You aren't sharp" she continued.
IF I was going to play poker I'd play
to win. l wouldn't pit myself against
old gamblers.
Madam" said the Colonel, after a
painful silence, "may be you know
some poker-player who has got more
cash than keenness. May be you dop"
"Well, there's-there's John, the
hired man," she stammered. John
has four hundred dollars laid up, and l
heard him talking about poker the
other day. Why don't you play himP"
The Colonel went out without aword.
When he reached the corner he
stopped, looked carefully around, and
presently turned down the side-street
and into the alley leading to his barn.
John was there engaged in his every
day duties.
"John," said the Colonel, "some one
was telling me that you played poker. "
"Well, sir, I--ah-I won't do it any
more"
"Oh, it's no crime, John-no crime
but perhaps I'd better show you few
of the latest kinks in the game. dom t
want any of these stable men fleeing
you"
Thanks, sir I'll be thousand
times obliged"
Two hours later John entered the
house and placed in the hand of the
Coloners wife a package, and said:
There's one hundred and twenty
dollars--all he had-but he'll raise an
other hundred tomorrow
When the Colonel came home to din
ner he seemed greatly preoccupied in
mind, and at the table he said:
Doesn't it seem to you that our john
is rather neglecting his work."

Interview with Mr.. Wilson Soule, a Large
Representative Advertiser, as to Its Ben
efits.
From the New Haven Comm Sunday Union,
Oct IL, 1885.
Mr.. Wilson Soule, Secretary and Treas
urer of the Hop Bitters Manufacturing
Company, has been spending the last two
days here, arranging his advertising mat
ters, and was interviewed by UNION re-
porter as to the results and the worth of
newspaper advertising. He said that for
the four years previous to 1878 they spent
all their money in bill posting and circu-
lars from which they received no profit; in
fact, they got back just about half what it
cost them for making the medicine and
printing and distributing the circulars
In the spring Of 1873 they placed an adj
vertising order of $4,000 with H. p Hub
bard, Of New Haven. The results were
sales of 5000 They increased the adj
vertising the following year to 100000, the
sales being $36O,OOO. The next year they
spent $4,000, with $3.50, 900 sales and the
next year the expenditure was slightly in
creased, as also the sales They argue from
this that nothing but simon pure newspaper ad-
vertising, judiciouSiy and Thoroughly applied, is

State matters. In the matter of the public
debt, he reiterates his previous expressions
in Endorsement of the Riddleberger Bill, be-
lieving that every consideration, moral
and legal, was met by the plan Of funding
the debt made in that statute. The amount
of the debt outstanding (other than Rid
dleberger bonds) principal and interest, to
October l, 1885, is $50, 752,2S2 The Governor
recommends purging of the election laws

from both political parties, and that the
representatives of opposing candidates
shall be present when the votes are
counted.
