Howard ReisIsnyder, in speaking Of Tenn
perance, says
Why are our mills, our factories and ma
chine shops standing idle? Is it overproduc-
tion ? But few are so base as to say the
Lord of the Harvest has too bountfully
blessed us, 1t is because the people are
wasting their earnings on liquor that they
cannot obtain the products Of the loom ana
of the forge. Tue National Revenue reports
show that nine hundred millions Of dollars
are annually spent for liquor while five
hundred millions are spent for bread.
Think of it, 5000, 900 600 for dtu, and
$500 goo, 900 for that great necessity. Is it
any wonder that mills and factories and
forges are still, that great storage-houye, arc
overburdened, and that tho oisands pace idly
tie streets?

George Barrow, the fascinating author of
'Lavengro." "Darwnism and Democra-

shown that this defect in the natural solu-
tions of the aperient sulphates is largely |
corrected when they are combined with the |
chlorides. The chlorides have been shown |
to be extremely etfectual, not only in aiding
diffusion changes but also in stimulating
intestinal action. These observations have
caused renewed attention to be given to the
clinical observations of the earlier physi-
clans of this country and on the Continent
in the use of that which is perhaps, the old
est and best known of the aperient mineral
waters, viz, Frederichshdll water. Won
Mosler ascertained by careful clinical obser-
walton and physiological experiment with
FriedeIichshall water, that it not only has
valuable and considerable laxative powers,
but that il does not affect or disturb the
general health, aud that it increases the
appetite. He found also that small doses do
not diminish the weight of the body even
when continually used, and that it has a
remarkable effect in causing an increased
secretion of urea. To the ordinary aperient
effect Of the sulphates it adds a considerable
power Of promoting tissue change, and Sir
Henry Thompson has 90 stirmed tho con
clusions Of other clinical observers that this
water, which has been too little regarded in
this country, has the especially valuable
characteristic that, instead of its being nee
essary to administer it in increasing doses as
the patient becomes accust omed to its imbi
biton, the dose may, within certain limits,
be progressively diminished, and when left
off it does not entail any :endcpcy to cOnsti-
patton. With these facts before me, have
lately employed Friederichshall water in
practice, and have used it somewhat exten.
s,vcly at the French Hospital, with results
which seem to me so encouraging that
desire briefly to place on record some OF the
observations which have made.
In one series of cases employed it simply
as corrective of habtual constipation.

Quail in Delaware.

Perhaps it would be well for the Delaware
Society for the Preservation of Game to call
a halt in the action Of their secretary Mr..
Churohman, of deporting large quantities Of
quail from one locality to the other. 1t seems
to be understood that in the old natural cover
where the quail frequent and hide during
the more severe weather, that in those local
tiles ever since the last great blizzard there
has been great destruction of wild birds by
frost and exposure.
It is necessary to look after the safety of
regular breeding places before considering
measures of propagation in places in the
state where the quail are reported scarce.
The deportation of several hundred birds at
this time of the year. the storm season, would
look to the laymen rather hazardous pro
iect.
The reports from other parts of the country
in regard to the widespread destruction of
quail in the recent terrible storms that COW
cred belt of territory reaching from the
Atlantic to the Rocky mountains should sug-
gest very conservative action here in Della
ware.
The following is quoted from the New
York Herald of Tuesday last:
From a number of sections reports come
that the game has suffered greatly over a
very wide area. The vicinity of Abilene,
Kan, was the finest quail ground i'll Amer.
ca. There the birds have been almost de-
stroyed, especially those on the exposed ia.
BILE lands. AT Council Grove in the same
State, great many quail were killed, Al
Usage Mission and Wichita they were nearly
exterminated. At Mcpherson and Delpho,
whole bevies were found frozen stiff. Blu
few birds escaped. At Cottonwood Fall
many birds were found dead after the biz
ard. At Fort Scott the prairie birds wer
all killed. AT Seward, Hooper, Hastings
Raymond and Liberty, Neb, forty-nine GU
of every fifty quail persisted. Flock atte
flock were fopnd dead along the hedges IA
these places.
In the vicinity of Memphis and Hum holdi
Tenn, great many birds were frozen. A
Dallas Centre, Iowa, and throughout tn
whole State the quail have died in thousand
from cold and hunger. In both Illinois an
Indiana the Same condition of affairs exist,
At Princeton, in the first named State theI
is not one favorable report, and it looks 4
If the fate of the quail there was settled
Even in Ohio, where the farmers are pror
to feed and shelter the birds, it is said thi
the quail and rabbits have been found dea
in vast numbers. AT Logan, in Hookiu
