Men Who Must Drink to Live.

chicago herald.
The fate of Dion, the billiard player furnishes
another example of the danger which attends sud
den and radical changes of habitlate in life. Men
cannot violate the laws of health with impunity
for many years and then expect to catch up
by merely abstaining from their accustomed
stimulants Under such circumstances tenn
perance is likely to be death, whereas if the de-
parture had been taken earlier it might have
been less dangerous Dion now goes
to an insane asylum because the
revolution that he has made in his
habits has unsettled his mind. Other men who
might be named who have died during the past
year with great suddenness were brought low by
an attempt to forego the drinking habit when such
a change became in the highest degree perilous.
Such cases do not, as some may facetiously aver,
argue the unwisdom of men attempting to re
lieve themselves from the drinking habit but
they do illustrate Enthusiastically the folly of the
idea that after lifetime of excess the only
thing that is needed is to stop. Moderation early
in life entails no such consequences. The man
who lives to drink during the best part of his
life will drink to live at it's latter end.

It will reach the United States in tn

place. It will reach the United States in the
shape of severe snow-storm and will probably
cross the Atlantic with a gale near Halifax, fol-
lowed by clear, cold weather from Dec. % to rs.
There will also be most terrific cyclone in the
South Dec 6, or TO- or about that time, unless 1t
comes ahead of time, as the Alabama cyclone did
ashort time ago. This is the same storm repeated,
brought about by the same causes. 1t will be
three to four times greater than the Alabama
storm. 1t will be followed by cold winds from
the north. In case it comes ahead of time it
will occur further north if it comes at the prop
er time it will occur along the Atlantic slope
between Charleston harbor and the gulf. All
masters and owners of vessels on the southern
waters should have their vessels unloaded,
anchored and stripped of their rigging and ready
for fight with the gale. All persons that desire
to escape the perils OF the storm should leave on
the first train on the morning of Dec. and come
north of Tennessee about five degrees of lati-
tude. The northwestern storm that was pre-
dieted to commence about the Both inst. will be
exhausted by Dec 8, so it will be safe to come
north about the 4th.
The general government should give this cy:
clone question some attention and prevent the
destruction of life. I can tell them how to do
this. Yours, SAMUEL LOVE

The McLauphlin GuardianshiD.

Before Judge Ayres, yesterday. the question
of guardianship for VIM. p. Mclaughlin, a
saloon-keeper tried by jury, came to solu-
ton. 1t was charged that through frequent
sprees and continuous drink Mclaughlin had be-
come insane. bat the jury did not hold to the
insanity phase. They, however, returned yer.
dict of habitual drunkenness, and recommended
the appointment OF a guardian on that account.
The parties interested have agreed on James
Renihan to take charge of the trust, and he will
be confirmed if he accepts the offer.

Bulgarian AmaZons.

ran MAIL GaZeGte
Perhaps the most interesting product of the
Balkan revolution 30 far is the little band of
Amazons which has its quarters at Philipopolis
At present the new corps has but dozen mem
bers The commander is the directress of an
orphan asylum at Philipopolis, by the name of
Rains, and the united ages of the warlike twelve
are said to reach the number of. the days in the
year, a fact which unfortunately takes some of
the romance from the novel movement. 1t has
even been said that the weapons of the Bull
garian Amazons are their age and few cavalry
sabres. Their clothing consists of loose hose
fastened below the knee and short riding
jacket, with a red girde, while Bulgarian kali
pax is worn headdress. The Amazons carry
out their daring innovation even to striding their
horses like dragons. The chief of this singular
band is the lady who, in September, rode as
Bulgaria with the captive Gavril Pasha in an
open wagon through the streets of Philipopolis
hourishing naked sword above his head and
proclaiming the union of Roumela and Bulgaria
the while.

Drying Seed Corn.

The old plan of hanging the seed corn to the
joists of the kitchen by the husks, which had
been stripped bacA and plated together for the
purpose, always seemed to make ''seed that
would grow" because it was thoroughly dried,
says a 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
respectful distance when planted. But, what
ever plan you may adopt be sure that the seed
is thoroughly dried before it is reached by cold
weather

Feeding Value Of cottonseed Meal.

The feed ne value Of cottonseed meal
IS the highest of all cattle foods. IL is
estimated at about three and one-half
times as much as good hay in nutritive
value. Ii contains about twcnty-thrce
per cent. of heterogeneous sub
stance and ten to twelve Of fat. with
about twenty per cent Of other carbon
accous matters. Upon this account its
manurail value is very high and more
than that Of any other food. being
rated at about S27 per ton Of the meal.
This il because very large portion of
the nitrogen in il Is not digested. and
is not discharged in the urine and the
manure. But this fact Is something of
the very greatest Importance to farm
ers who use the cottonseed meal. be-
cause heterogeneous matter that j. not
digested is discharged through the
bowels and kidneys. and chiefly
through the kidneys, causing very
much increased act on of these organs.

Or the mechanical arts known 10 the
