How to Drink Beer.
From Contemporary Re0ieto


The reason commonly given by ladies
why they do not like beer Is that IL is $50
bitter.u but the real reason is that women
are rarely enabled TO drink beer under
favorable circumstances. The essence OF
beer lies in it's aromatic gas. Ii that Is
allowed to escape the beer tastes stale,
fiat and bitter, and gives rise to headaches
and Indigestion, whereas, with the gas 1t
is palatable, wholesome and an aid TO
digestion. To get 1t in this state it must
be taken from a keg freshly tapped and
drank on the spot without much delay,
and since women Of the higher classes in
this country do not frequent localities
wnere beer is kept on tap, they never have
an opportunity to find out how good beer
really "tastes,v for bottled beer consumed
at home Ia always vastly inferior to keg
Seer. In Munich. however, which is the
paradise OF beer drinkers, women are as
fond Of beer as the men, because IL is con-
sIdered perfectly proper for the best faml-
lies to visit the festively illuminated beer
gardens In the evening. In Munich, TOO,
every mug and glass has lid 10 prevent
the gas from escaping too rapidly. This
0as must not be contounded with the arti-
fIcial foam which dishonest bartenders
produce in glass by holding II far below
The faucet, practice which not only
compels the guest TO pay Tor bali glass
OF empty foam, but which allows the real
gas to escape prematurely. Every beer
class in Munich has a mark up TO which
the buuid must reach BY legal enact
ment, consequently little or no foam is
dished up with the beer, and the brewers
admit that the best beer mas no loan at
toe ton. Waters in pouring out bottled
beer Invariably make the mistake Of hold
ing up the bottle as high as possible so as
TO get foam.

FELL DEAD BLASPHEMING.
Fate of a COlored Man Who Ridi-

From tie Louisville oOurte Journal

~ From tie Louisville Courie journal.
-Four years ago John A. Brown, an in
tellIgent coIored man, for many years a
resident of this city, studied medicine
under DR.. Edward Won Donhoff, the we'll
known surgeon Of 109 East Chestnut
street. Brown was an apt pupil, and fol-
lowed his studies with much application
under DIR. Won Donboff for two years with
advantage to himself. At the end OF that
time be went off to New York, and at
tended lectures In one of the largest and
best medical colleges In the country.
When his course was finished he gradu-

came back to Louisville to settle and prac-

were sitting around the fireplace talking
when religious controversy sprang up
between two of the men. They were ar
guing their point, when DR.. Brown
stopped them. He said they were two
fools, and were talking mere lot of b0sh.
He said there was no Christ, and that the
person OF that name was merely an ordi-
nary person, who happened TO be better
morally than the people among whom he
lived. He said there was no God, and
that He was an imaginary person whom

ITEMS FOR HUSBANDMEN.

Holstein COWS are becoming popular in
the South.
Grape cuttings for planting may be
made now.
Make the garden small enough so that
you can take care of it.
Good dairymen are more essential to
good butter than any breed of COWS.
A process of separating the manuria
matter from sewage is in use ia Berlin.
Experiments are being made with toe
sinte, a South American grass, for ems
lage.
The Rural y Jrld reminds farmers that
by using two-foot square space in a hot
bed enough potatoes can be started suffi-
cient to plan & rev 200 feet long, and by
so doing probably three weeks could be
gained over planting at first out of
doors.
To cure COW of the habit of sucking
herself, says the Jersey Bulletin, make a
saturated tine ture of powdered aloes and
alcohol keep in mucilage bottle, tight
ly corked, and paint the end of each teat
with the mixture, and the COW will soon
become Disguised.
A correspondent of the Toledo Blade
says lice can be driven from cattle by COW
ering an old rope with tar and tying it
around the smallest part of an animals
neck, care being taken that it touches the
neck all around. He says they will soon
leave the animals if they can not reach
the eyes and nose, where they find ne
cessary moisture.

the daughters, in order that they may be-
come well developed and healthy, are
potent in preventing the development
and imparing the health of most of our
girls.
I am in earnest in my assertion that
tight dressing is the chief cause which is
so rapidry destroying the native Ameri-
can woman's ability to nurse her children.
my daughter does not dress to tightly
exclaims the mother. sit is her natural
form, you see." Natural indeed. If SO it
is inherited from the perverted form of
the mother-the deformity of the parent
visited on the daughter. It is manifest to
every careful observer that our native
women, as a rule, are not proportionally
as well developed as the men. 1t is,
therefore, certain that they are violating
the laws of physical development -and
health to greater extent than the men.
And the misfortune is that such violations
affect the unborn of both sexes; the in
FAINT and the little boys and girls, and
the older girls, as well az the adult wo-
men.

FARM NOTES.

Artificial eyes are now furnished for
horses that have lost an optic by accident
glass eye helps the looks of horse,
even if he can't look through it.
A COW should never be allowed to skip
a milking, as the retention of so large q
volume of milk in the udder will infame
it and injure the quality of the milk, and
perhaps the udder also.
It is an easier matter to keep the sta
bles clean an orderly than it is supposed
by those who have not tried it.
J. D. Shedd, of Fairfax, Tt, reports
that he owns a SOW that has given birth
to ffty-three pigs in three filters within
three months-thirteen, twenty and
twenty respectively.
Foot-rot in sheep, distemper in horses
and cattle, cough in pigs and a score of
other ailments arise from filthy barn
yards in winter and spring. Prevention
is better than cure in all these cases.
A recommended preventative of chol-
era: Construct long, deep through
keep it supplied wife Stacked lime, with
a reasonable amount of salt, and attract
the hogs TO it by stopping them near
there.
Two oilings of harness, except the col
lars, a year is enough; but the collars
should be oiled every two weeks during
the working season, and the sweat and
dirt removed every morning with d dull
knife.
The exports of genuine butter have
fallen from 100000 pounds in 1880 to
21,638, 138 pounds in 1886, or nearly one,
half, while the exports of butter substi-
tutes have increased from 100000 in
1880 to 100000 in 1885.
Gooseberries, if we'll titled in good soil
will soon grow sufficiently bushy to sade
their roots, and in this way escaye, to a
large extent, the injury that befalls the
less bushy currant.
For the fiscal year 1885 the Territorial
Auditors report shows that there are in
Montana 1889 horses, mules and ASSES
valued at $4,214,7O9; cattle, 613, 1892, valu-
ed at $14,O11,O0S; sheep, 1877 valued at
1881, O79.

Our Girls Dangers.
J. H. Storic, in Med. Brief.

What kind of material for good Chris
tan wives and mothers have we among
girls brought up in fashinable idleness,
unaccustomed even to homework, or any
form of useful labor, and who live most
of the time in shaded rooms, and there
fore have little chance for physical devel-
opment, and who, before their physical
bodies are fully developed, are subjected
to stays, corsets, laoings and tight dresses
till the most horrible deformity results,
and the very existence of our race threat
ened: unaccustomed to labor, to sunlight,
imperfectly developed, with the most
fearfully deformed waist, with laboring
heart and lung, and with the abdominal
organs crowded down on the reproductive
organs. causing the most troublesome and
serious displacements and diseases, what
chance have such girles to become com
petent wives and mothers.
In our estimation the prevalent custom
of allowing girls to grow up in fashion

Luck In The Dark.
Detroit Free Press.

II am a tramp. Whether I was driven
to the road by hard luck or a desire to
lead an easy life is none o your business.
[ m no better or no worse than the average
Some men with my advantages would
have been in Congress to day. Some
others with my temptations would have
been in state prison long ago. If the
world owes me anything I'll forgive the
dept. If owe the world anything she'll
have to dust around lively to collect the
dept. A year or two ago while was tram
ping In Indiana, struck streak of hard
luck. 1t had come on winter and my toes
were out my pockets ditto and I was
dressed in summer clothing. I tramped
fourteen miles along thickly settled
highway one day and failed to turn up
even slice of bread. On the other hand
was bitten three times by dogs and
several farmers threatened to shoot me.
When night came I was half frozen and
the other half starved. It was no use to
apply to house for lodging and got
eye on a straw stack and slowed myself
away.
Now then there's nothing mean about
straw stack but it doesn't begin with a
frstclass hotel for comfort. You may
work into a stack your length and chink
up the hole behind you and you'll find it
cold. The air seems to sift from all direct
ions and you fall sleep to dream of
floating over cold sea on an iceberg.
The weather was about zero and by mid
night found that I must get out Of that
or freeze to death.
There was barn about forty rods
way and [ crawled out and took a run
One of the small doors was unlocked
and Icrept in to find the place thousand
times more comfortable than the stack.
1t was dark as a pocket in there and I
had no matches to strike alight. I began
feeling my way across the floor hoping
to strike some bags or blankets for cover
when suddenly some thing soft and warm
touched my arm glided around my waist
and I was lifted off my feet. Did yell?
No sir was too frightened to open my
potato trap. I dropped my arms and my
hands came in contact with what do you

supplementary Summer Feed.
From the Rural World,

Do not neglect to plant few acres of
ground that will be available during the
summer when pasturage is likely to be
cut short by drouth. There are various
crops that can be grown for this purpose;
oats, sowed corn, sorgham, and peas,
millet and others, Ground near the barn
or feed lot, or where it will be convenient
to get to and feed the stock, should be
selected. Cows, especially, will be bene-
fitted by having some such food to give
them each night as they come home from
pasture.
1t should not be considered that such
provision is so much extra expense.
Whatever is given to the stock and is
eaten by it, besides what is got in the pas
ture, is so much saved from the feed
there. It also induces the COWS to come
more readily to the barn at night, if they
know that good feed of sweet, juicy
fodder, awaits them.
There need be no fear that any of this
extra food will be lost, even if the pasture
does not give out, for it can all be cured
and saved for winter feed. These different
crops can be planted at intervals, small
amount at time, so az to have success
sion OF fresh, succulent feed. Setting
aside portion of land, having it pIow ed
1t will take but an hour or two at differen
times, to plant or SOW what is desired.
