Why Alcoholism Exists.

Why do town populations crave after spirits? Beer is the drink par excel fence of rustics, of the inhabitants of small towns, and even of the eockney who follows light pursuits. Liebig has something to say upon this subject we'll worthy of deep consideration "The. use of spirits is not the causes but an effect of poverty. It is an exception from the rules when well-fed man be- comes a spirit-drinker. On the other hand, when the laborer earns by his, work less than is required to provide the amount of food which IS indispensi- ble in order to restore fully his work ing power, an unyielding, inexorable law or necessity compels him to have recourse to spirits. He must work but in consequence of insufficient food certain portion of his working power is daily wanting. Spirits, by their action on the nerves, enable him to make up the deficient power at the expense of his body, to consume to-day that quan- tity which ought naturally to have been employed day later" His physiolog- ical capital is clearly being exhausted. and 1t is no wonder that under such cir cumstances, he dies comparatively early, and certainly prematurely. Not only is such a plan essentially and radically bad, but alcohol is terribly dear form of food. Alcohol in such concentrated form is potent aid to the already ex- isting tendency to tissue degeneration. When overwork calls in alcohol to it's help the unholy alliance usually works the most disastrous results, and brings the organism swiftly to general decay. Even when the evil results of the dead ly combination are not so marked, gen. eral deterioration is manifest In inn paired power of labor, in inferior work, in Iessened hours of toll. The tendency is to. sumter away working hours in the ale-house; partly because work is found so irksome that it is pleasant to do nothing perhaps worse than nothing; partly because the capacity to work has been undermined. Of course, here again there is not uniformity; one or ganism yields more readily than an- other. Toil and alcohol, and sometimes the alcohol with very little toll, soon re- duce one man to the condition of so- cial pariah; while in another case hale old man will be found who works hard every day-"never misses any time" his fellow-workmen say-yet who drinks daily an amount of spirits which would soon tell sorely on an average person.
 But such case does not initiate against
 the general soundness of the statement
 that overwork, combined with alcohol, | ;e o e,,,.o ,,,1 oa1toin road t0 h0dv-r1lln Good Words.

Daniel Webster at His Own Table.

It is not generally wise to attempt to reproduce the table conversation of a good man, for who does not know that fhe aroma which fills a room when a precious wine is uncorked Is an evanes- cent influence? Who does not know that there are characteristics of manner and voice, and play of features which no record of the remark or the anecdote can give to those who did not hear 1t It should be said, however, of Mir. Web ster that he never discOursed, never harangued at his own table, or at any other where set speeches were not in set order. and that he never monOpolized the conversation. His mode of talking was to "give and take; ;" and, although all felt him to be the person whom every one desired to hear, no one presumed to "draw him out" Nor was 1t necessary for him to do so. As MT. Kenyon found him in England, so 1t was in his own house. We did not "questiOn him on affairs of state" Politics were seldom alluded to. As he knew so much else, he had so many other resources, he was so rich in experience, observation and feeling. that conversation did not need to drift into that dreary subject-the party objects and struggles of the day. His conversation had the accidental flow which belongs to all good talking. Natural objects, common things, or com mon occurrences, might start the topic, but when he touchel 1t he invested 1t with an interest, and placed 1t in rela- tions and surrounded 1t with infOrma- tion that surprised the listener like s, new revelation. It was knowledge with out pedantry, the power of illustration without lecturing. He excelled, too, in the art of telling a story, of which the humor was infinitely heightened by his own enjoyment of it. But, in all his humor in conversation, there was never the smallest approach to indellcacy. When the ladies had retired from the table, no one ever heard from him, or II his presence, an anecdote or an alluslon that might not have been uttered before them; nor did a word of profanity ol irreverence for things sacred pass his lips in any company.-CtrttS' LiJe c.

How a New Hampshire Woman Lived
 on $40 & Year.

Tn the Woo,on's Journal CT. W. H." relates the story of New Hampshire woman, who by the sudden loss of her little invested property had remaining only an old farmhouse and some land. "The sufferer was wholly alone in the world, had a paralyzed arm and was threatened with blindness. The only work which her enfeebled condition per mitted was in the way of knitting and making artificial flowers by these two arts she could earn $15 annually. Her whole available income was $40. She apl ropriated one-fourth of 1t for reading. In her own very interesting account of her life she says:
 "In very cold spells 1 took a warm freestone and crawled into bed. l was too ill to work, and thus to do saved fire wood I would put mittens on my hands and read awhile, and, when the room became too cold for this, cover all up end think over what had read. This saved me in degree from ener- vating myself still further by fruitless boring over poverty and prlvatlons. As for food: "One-foUrth pound of meal, l cent; one fourth pound of dried beans, 1I cents; cents worth of salt pork-44 cents in all-would support me a day and half very well. This was my usual fare three days out of seven. Three cents worth of barley, boiled with 2 cents worth of butchers trim mings and 3 cents worth of potatoes, would make wholesome, nOurishlng food for two days and go long way toward supporting existence. I made considerable use of rice and baked fish. In cold weather pound of oa5meal cooked Monday would serve as a dessert through the week. Sometimes l had gift of milk, and then l feasted like an epicure. Now and then l had some kind of vegetable, as beet or turnip, and from time to time bought few cents worth of butchers scraps, more to season food than to be food. Once a month indilged in baking of doughnuts, or got pound of lard and fried an eating of doughnuts, about six, once at a time, in tin cup over my oil stove." The writer says: There could be no reductions beyond hers, for she literally bought nothing in the way of clothing whatever. So she lived, so to speak, on the past-on the wrecks of her own clothing and ether peoples. She . made whole suit out of an old strawbed ticking, combined with the fragments oi a pair of the drilling overalls that some workman had left on the premises these she cut into strips, and made, she de clares, very stylish trimming. She unraveled old, worn-out, homespun un- der-garments, and made yarn which she knit into stockings. She had fifteen notices in the house made on white muslin and cotton flannel; these she boiled clean and had supply of material for undergarments, being the first per
 son, probably, who discovered real use tor notices She found behind a closet-door an old overcoat of her fath- CTS, out of whose quilted lining of black lasting she made for herself a cloak that looked like quilted satin. The question of hats or bonnets was easily settled; she wore none for three years. As for shoes, the inexhaustible lining of the fathers overcoat provided her with slip pers which wore better than leather"

Warned Away.

While in Charleston I was talking with a gentleman from the interior of the State, regarding the state of the country after the close of the war, and when the conversation had drifted to the Ku-klux point, I asked:
 Colonel, did you ever receives warn ing to leave?"
 "Three of 'em," he calmly replied.
 Regular notices?"
 Regular notices, and meant for busi-' ness"
 Con account of politics?"
 "Not altogether. While I am Dem ocrat, in one instance I opposed the nomination of an unfit man for office. Not only that, but beat him out of 1t, and substituted an honest man. That action produced results, but the main object was to get my land for song and clean me out. The notice gave me three days in which to leave the State. !"
 "And what did you do?"
 q mounted my horse. took my shot, gun and rode to the plantation of the man who wrote the warming"
 "Did you know who 1t was?"
 "I suspected, and I tested him. He saw me approaching and ran for his gun. That action proved him to be the right man. He came out with his shot, gun, took dead rest on bar and fired handful of buckshot at me from dis tance of fifty feet. Sixteen of them struck me in the chest, arm and should CT, and I tumbled from the horse"
 "And what did he do?"
 Acted foolish-very foolish; and !! have always wondered at it. Instead of visiting to reload he came running up to finish me with a knife, and that was the chance to keel him over. He didn't kick twice after fred"
 And did that end it?"
 Practically, although he left two sons who have been shooting at me II and on from the brush for two or three years past If they continue annoying me I'll have to take half a day some time this fall and hunt 'em out"
 "And his wife?"
 "Well. the widow has offered to mar " any man who will kill me, but hasn't worked up any candidates yet. Have & smoke or something to drink ?"-Ds- troit Free Press

How to Sell More Beer,

Races at Carson,

CARSON, October 23d.-There was an ex-

terday, TO witness the third days racing.
The first event was a half-mile- and-repeat
running race between Conquest and Stone
man. Much to the surprise of everyone,
Conquest won the first heat, but soon after
ward went lame and was withdrawn.
There being suspicious of all not being
luare, the race and pools were declared off
The next race was a three-in-tive trot be-
tween Belle Spencer, Victor, Kate Bender
and Lucy. Spencer was the favorite. The
first two heats were easily won by the favor
lite, Victor second, Bender third, and Lucy
fourth. Time, 245-2;4S. The pools now
chopped around, and Victor became the
tavorite, notwithstanding the mare had two
heats. Dan Dennison changed places from
behind Kate Bender and handled Victor
When the start for the last heat was effect
ed, Dennison sent Victor along at skip
ping and running gait and took the lead,
