MONOMANIA.

The above disease of the brain is of more
frequent occurrence than is generally snp-
posed, male and female victims being num-
bered among all classes.
In some cases it might be termed fanci-
full chimcra of the brain, the mind seeming
to be on the lookout for some new dea
delusion, which really has no foundation in
fact. 1t seems to be an intellectual concen-
tration upon one idea, the mind remaining
clear upon every other point. The integri-
ty of the intellectual portion of the mind
becomes apparently overpowered by the de.
fusion and remaining in a kind of quasi
state, until the false idea becomes apparent
ly positive CONVECTION. Jealousy, ambition,
disappointment and any exciting cause ere
ating an unexpected concentration of intel
lectual forces, are frequent causes of mono
mania A mans wife receiving sudden and
unexpected information relating to his
amours with another woman. which, al
though without any foundation in fact, is
revOlved over and over in her excited mind
until jealousy is thoroughly aroused, a spe-
cies of monomania being the result.
These affections have become very annoy
ing and grievous, and if not relieved are apt
to end in a more abnormal condition of the
brain, producing family quarrels, dissen-
sions, accusations, denials, &c, between
between man and wife, lover and sweet
heart. They should all be treated as eaSly
as possible, and the most speedy and certain
remedy is the use of B. B. B., which pro.
duces an immediate Transformation through
the blood, the effects of which are felt and
acknowledged before using one bottle.
The patients are all easily aroused on GER
tain subjects, and although ridiculous in the
extreme, cannot be convinced of their error.
One party may presume that the whole hui
man family are afflicted with mineral poi
son." while yet another may argue that
"potash mixtures" are poisoning the blood
of the nation, and that revelations from the
Almighty placed him in special position
to offer the one antidote, while all else are
frauds. These conditions emanate from
those of honest and pure motives, but are
powerless to throw off the shackles which
bind them. The friends and relatives of all
such should urge them to use b. b. b., and
be cured, before more serious results occur
leading to insanity. The actual and positive
action of B. B. B., is of such nature as tC
convince any one of the unparalleled power
it has over all blood poisons, scrofulou'
sores, &C., &c. All these astounding cures
are proven by doctors, bankers, preachers
merchants, editors, farmers, and men anC
women here in Atlanta, where every witness
can be seen and talked with.

Relig ious Dogs,

The famous st. Bernard dogs are
very carefully trained. A traveller
who visited some of the monasteries
of the monks Of st. Bernard a few
years ago found the monks teaching
their dogs from the earliest stages of
puppyhood. Not only is physical
and mental training included in this
teaching, but spiritual culture is by
no means neglected. At meal-time
the dogs sit in a row, each with a tin
dish before him containing his repast.
Grace is said by one of the monks,
the dogs sitting motionless with
bowed heads. Not one of them stirs
until the "amen" is spoken. If a
risky puppy attempts to sample his
meal before grace is over, one of the
older dogs growls and gently tugs his
ear. The intelligence displayed by
those animals in rescuing unfortunate
travellers among the maintains is
absolutely wonderful. Many a man
who lies down to sleep in a snow-drift
owes his life to the sagacity of the st.
Bernard dogs.-Atlanta Constitution.

Making Cows Give Milk.

A writer in the Southern Farmer
says that his COW gives all the milk
that is wanted in a family of eight,
and that from it, after takingall that
is required for other purposes, 260
pounds of butter were made this year.
This is in part his treatment of the
cow; eff you desire to get large
yield of rich milk give your COWS
every day water slightly warmed and
slightly sailed, in which bran has
been stirred at the rate of one quart
to two gallons water. You will find,
if you have not tried this daily prac-
tice, that your COW will give % per
cent. more milk Immediately under
the effects of it, and will become sc
attached to the diet as to refuse tC
drink clear water unless very thirsty
But this mess she will drink almost
any time and ask for more. The
amount of this drink necessary is an
ordinary water pail at time, morn
ing, noon and night"

time; Il negligent one never.

Salt for Live Stock.

Coleman's Rural World.
Salt is restorative, anthelmintic, an
tiseptic. antitympanitic and tonic, and
therefore should be always in reach of
every herbivorous animal. 1t is a nat.
ural and physiological necessity to
them. One animal may require little,
the next one great deal; but without
it perfect health cannot be maintained
in the horses and cattle. Its impor>
lance can be seen from the following
physiological facts in connection with
1.-THE serum Of the blood contain
ing four to six parts per thousand. 1t
exists in all the secretions, and is the
chief source of the muriatic acid secre>
ted by the stomach. 1t largely in,
creases the secretions from the gastric
and salivary glands; it promotes the
digestion of vegetable food, and rem
ders it more fit for absorption. Hence
the greed for salt in all herbivorous
animals, and the utility of those salt
ticks to which buffalo, deer and other
wild animals resort. In Holland,
criminals in ancient times were con-
demned to die by eating unsalted bread
as the severest punishment that could
be inflicted. The effects were terrible.
These wretched persons are said to
have died a dreadful death, literally
devoured by worms engendered within
their own bodies. In scrofula affecting
the glands, skin and bones, salt has
been used internally. 1t is essential to
digestion, a popular and reliable rene
dy for worms, and food without salt
engenders them; and it also possesses
the property of preventing more OIL
less alcoholic intoxication. This is vel
known by the use of salt meats before
and after the use of alcohol. Army
animals should be provided with sal
boxes attached to their managers, Sc
that they could fully supply their in
stinctive demand. The present insane
method of distribution, periodically
mixed with food, forces one animal tt
eat mere than his system requires
whilst others do not get sufficient, anC
have to eat the best substitute within
reach, viz: dirt, filth, clay, wood
lime and mud, from stable walls ant
floors.

An Easy Place.

We had not place for him. No
one wants boy who is seeking an
easy place; yet just here is the diff
Guilty with thousands. They want
easy work, and are afraid of earning
more than their wages.
They have strength enough to be
out latea nights, to indulge in vices
and habits which debilitate them /;
they have strength to waste on wine
or beer or tobacco, all of which leave
them weaker than before; they have
strength enough to run and leap and
wrestle, but they think they have
not the strength to do hard work.
Will the boys let us advise them
Go in for the hard places; bend your
self to the task Of showing how
much you can do. Make yourself
serviceable to your employer, at
whatever cost to your own personal
ease; and if you do this he will soon
find that he cannot spare you, and
when you have learned how to work
you may be sent to teach others, and
so when the easy places are to be had
they will be yours. Life is toilsome
at best to most Of us, but the easy
places are at the end, notat the begin.
ming, of life's course. They are to be
won, not accepted and man who is
bound to have an easy place may as
well understand that the grave is the
only easy place within the reach O

Possible Change Of Trains.

Fayetteville Observer.
1t is reported that change is to be
made in the running of trains to this
place. Instead of daily freight, we
are informed that Mr.. Thomas is seri-
ouls considering the advisability Of
running a freight train to this place
each alternate day at least until ship
ments over the road increase. His
plan is to make one train do all the
freight business from this place and
Rock Island-going up the McMinn-
vile road one day and on the one lead
ing to this place on the following.
While we would dislike TO see the
change made, shipments from this
place for some time have been quite
light, and railroads are not much given
to incurring the additional expense Of
running two trains when one can east
ly transact all the business; nor car
any man reasonably expect it. Mr.
