The Deadly Stop Drain.

From a country house notable for
general neatness hired girl was taken
home i'll Of typhoid. Then hired man
left and had run Of "s!ow fever; af-
forwards little girl "came down." with
the same disease. Soon the mother was
dangerously sick, and finally "aggravat-
ed erysipelas broke out in the face OF
the kitchen servant" Here was series
of zymotic attacks. Why? A Maine
Farmer correspondent answers. with a
statement that eliminates the mystery
Of the dispensation:
1.-The only thing in this household
which seemed to be at fault was the dis
posal of the kitchen Stops They were
carried from the sink outside the house
through leaden pipe, and this
discharged into the end of u bored
aqueduct log, buried in the earth
and extending about rod FROM the
house. This short log drain would soon
be obstructed, and then the end next
the house would discharge its danger
Gus contents into the loose stones which
were filled in on that side Of the kitchen,
and thence under the house and into
the cellar; and the same leaden pipe
which carried the water downward,
brought the sickening gases upward. !"

Paw Cash for Goods.

From the Iowa Homestead.
The farmers in former years had
great complaints against the merchants
on account of excessive charges fo1
goods. Grange stores We're the rage,
and the remembrance of them is not
now very pleasant.
There was much better way, and
the farmers see it now. That was to
pay cash. For cash is great leveler
of prices. The merchant was glad to
come down like little man when his
eyes caught the CLEAN of gold In q
State like Iowa there ought to be nc
such thing as credit at the store for the
farmer There is no class of men the
merchant can credit more safely. What
we mean is, the farmer should not
ask It; in fact he can not afford to ask
it. For credit means a higher price,
price to cover interest and
risk, and the good farmer who asks
credit simply asks to share the losses
Of the merchant on poor customers, and
he always does it. So that the one
short and easy way to settle the diff
Guilty between the farmer and the mer-
chant, is for the farmer to pay cash and
make the merchant his lifelong friend.
The farmer now complains against the
freight agent. There is way to settle
with him. If lie charges you too much
on corn, feed your corn. You will thus
condense freight, and instead Of haul
ing ton he will haul but 500 pounds.
If lie put up the tariff on stock, that
will encourage packing houses in ou1
cities, and the railroad will haul 100
miles instead of 500. Furthermore, if
the railroad buys up your Governor, Or
Representatives, you can get your lit
tie votes ready, and the next time take
off his political head. Whenever the
farmers get down to this business in
earnest there will be less cause OF com.

The "Treating" Custom.

The American system of "treating' in
barrooms and other places where strong
drinks are sold, has been made mis-
demeanor by law in Nevada. The anti.
treating law makes "setting 'em up" pun
1shable by fine and imprisonment. eth
er OF both. It is made water-t tight.
and therefore liQuor-tight, and would
require ingenuity to evade it, which
when possessed can be employed tc
better advantage than in law breaking.
The first section of the act makes it
unlawful to treat Or be treated, and fix
es the penalty for its infraction. The
other sections constitute any attempt
ed evasion Of the law greater offence
than its open violation and attach still
more severe penalties for practising CHI
canery Or suoterfuge. The fines when
collected go to the school fund of the
county in which the offence is commit
ted and conviction had. This Nevada
law is founded on the principle that
treating is O. vice, rather than that
drinking is pernicious habit. Liquor
selling Is licensed, and therefore law
tal: "A man may so into saloon and
buy and pay for all the liquor he wants
to drink himself, but he is not per-
mitted to pay for his friends tipple.
The theory is that under this regula-
ton man will drink no more than he
wants, and in nearly all cases will go
out sober, whereas a party of ten or a
dozen drinking after they treat all
around often have more than they can
carry. Thelaw covers all kinds Of dis
titled spirits, wines, malt beverages and
even takes IN cider. Lemonade soda

and subterfuge.
