More Learning IMAM Weight.

The law providing for the Introduction
of primers, on the effects of alcoholic
beverages was attacked by one of our
leading scientific periodicals., with more
learning than weight, on the ground
that the physiological action Of alcohol
is as yet obscure even to orr able5t pa
biologists, and therefore not a fit sub
ject for a common school text book. The
same objection might be urged against
every other branch Of physiO Ogy and
the natural history Of the organic crea-
ton. every vital process Is a miracle, !"
says LOrenz Oxen, shat is, IN all essen
tial respects an unexplained phenome-
nOn." A last question viii always re-
main unanswered whenever the mar
VelOus process of life Is concerned, but
our ignorance, as well as our knowledge,
of that phenomenon has it's limits, and
in regard to the effects Of alcoholic bev-
erages 1t is precisely the most movable
and most fully demonstrated part of the
truth which 1t behCOVes every child to
know, but Of which at present nine
. tenths Of the adults, even IN the most
civilized countries, remain as ignorant as
the natives of Kamtschtka who worship
a divinity in the form of a poisonous
tOadstoOl. A boy may be brought to
comprehend the folly of gambling even
before he has mastered the abstrOuse
methods OF combination and permuniCa-
ton employed in the calculus of broba-
bic loss or gain. Weneed notstudy Ben
than to demonstrate that honesty is an
essential basis of commerce and social
intercourse. By the standard of useful
ness, too, temperance primers might well
taste precedence Of many other text
books. Our school boys learn all sorts of
things about the perils encountered by
the explorers Of African deserts and Arc
tic seas, but next to nothing about the
pitfalls In their own path, no room for
the discussion of such subjects in a cur
riculum that devOtes years to the study
of dead languages. Is the difference be-
tween the archaic and pliocem form of
verb so much more important than the
difference between food and poison?

This body that we live in is in q sense
the universe to Us. We get no light save
that whichcOmes il through this strange
sky-Hght of the brain. The man won

them "a good creature of Cod. But the
attractive ingredient in all these bever-
ages is alcohol, a poison that has this
changeless law, that 1t acts in exact pro-
portion to the quantity imbibed upon
the brain and nervous system precisely
as fire acts upon water, tapping it MP with
a fierce and Unsuitable thirst. This af-

A ComparIson.

Suppose you take watch, full JeWeIed,
of finest Geneva workmanship, and put
it in a case made of gold, then in one
made of silver, then in one made of por-
celain. You viii find that it keeps just
as good time in a cheap case as in a cost
ly one, because there Is no inter depen-
denCe between the watch and its envi-
rOnment. But God has wound upa watch
in this snug, round box on the tor
your heads and mine; warranted, with
good usage, to tick right on with thoughts
for eighty or a hundred years. A watch
with the maIH-spring Of the reason, the
balance-wheel Of judgment, the fine Jew
els of Imagination and fancy, the dial
plate of a human face divine, and the
pointers OF characters thereon, and this
wonderful watch, the human brain, can
can not keep as good time in q coarse case
as in a fine one, for there is the closest
inter-dependence between the brain and
its environment; between the tissues OF
the body and the temper Of the soul.
Just as Theodore Thomas controls an
orchestra with his baton, or an engineer
his engine with the thrOttle-valve, or an
operator his telegraph line, so the Won
derful prisoner in the brain controls the
bOdy's intricate machinery. Given SO
much clear thought and you will get SO
much clear action. Given so much Crazed

A Grant county, Wis, farmer writes,
In common with a great many OUher
farmers, 1 have lost hogs by disease; per
haps 1t was the So called hog cholera.
At times my hogs appeared restless, and
would root for stones to chew, or dig int
stone walls for mortar. 1t occurred to
me that they needed something not sup
piled them. 1 thought it might be sand,
and gave them some on trial. They at
once ceased mining for stones and NOR
tar, seeming satisfied when they had
sufficient food and drink.
A few years ago had some go shoats
which manifested discomfort and a desire
to root for stones. partitioned of one
end Of my hOg-pen for q bin, by setting
up2 by 4 pieces, and ceiling on the bin
side, beginning nearly 4 inches above the
floor; piece 2 by 4 was fastened to the
floor on the other side. This left q space
of 4 inches for sand TO work into from
the bin, out of which the hogs could get
it, without wasting. About Dec LIST I
put loads of sand into the bin, mixing
with it 20 lbs. salt, lbs. cOpperss, and
lbs. sulphur. By April 1 following, the
hogs had eaten the 3 loads of sand, and
were all the time healthy and COntented.
Since then, whenever I have attended to
the supply Of sand, salt, ETC., have new

1 do not know that / used the ingredi-
ents of the mixture in the proper pro-
portions, but so long as she hogs are
satisfied that is immaterial. believe q
bushel Of SCOT to the ton of sand would
be Of much benefit, but do not think that
hogs need ashes.

other a German, INDUCED in personali-

was a LiUsraUurst and a SpOttsUOgeJ, and
the Pole said that the German was AOs-

was kept up until the Pole, thinking that
he was the long one which could knock
the persimmOn, advanced and threaten
ed to thrash hisOpponent- This brought
the whole body of deputies to their feet
all angrily shouting and shaking their
fists. The scene was finally brought to
a close by the deputies getting so dry
shouting that they had to adjourn for
the purpose of getting a drink. The his
tOIian says thag if there had only been a
little more swearing the observer might
have thought that he was attending a
