'Mad dog! Mad dog!" shonted the bad
boy, as he rushed into the grocery store
with both hands on the basement of his

jumped under the counter and crawled be-
hind the barrel of lump white sugar.

slice off cheese for a servant girl with
a shawl over her head. His first idea was
to run down the cellar, but the girl slid
down there, so the groceryman simply
jumped into crockery crate and laid
down and psrspired. He wished every

1t is stated that the population of the
state of Nevada has dwindled down to
$4,000 in consequence of the collapse of
the mining interest, and there are scarcely
enough inhabitants left to maintain a
state government.
Many curious coins and other interest
ing objects have been discovered in tear
ing down some old buildings in Charter
street, Boston. Some of the coins date
back to the thirteenth and fifteenth CEN
turtles. A collection of silver plate bear
ing a coat of arms, was found buried un-
der the base of one of the chimneys, il
having probably been hidden there by the
owner during the occupation of Boston by
the British.

The Excellence of Farm Life.

It is q common complaint that the farm and farm life are not appre- ciated by our people. We long for the elegant pursuits of the town. Bat the farmer has the most sane and natural occupation, and ought to find life sw eeter, if less hig her seasoned, than any other. He alone, strictly speak ing, has a home. How can a man take root and live without land. He writes his history upon his field How many ties and resour ees lie has; his friendship with his cattle. his team, his dog, his trees: the satisfaction in his growing crop. in his improved fields; his in. limacy with nature; with bird and beast, and the Quickening elemen. tal forces. Cling to the farm, make mneh oft, bestow your heart, your brian upon it. so that it shall savor of you and radiate your virtues af- ter yoar days work is done.

Eyi. Effects of Chewing Cum.

A popular craze that IS daily growing is that of chewing gum. Men chew it openly and above broad as much as girls, and the practice has gone so rapidly be- yonnd it's cid confiues that the fame of Vassar college as a shrine where taffy tolu received its great est share of worship has long ago died out. The popularity of the gum-chewing habit is due to the fsllacy that some health journal promulgated awhile ago that as gum-che wing preserves the teeth and de elops the gums 1t should be encouraged.
 The fact is that gum-chewing stimulates the salivary glands to a degree that is draining and ex' haustive, and when the increased secretions of these glands are swallowed it has an injurious eff feet upon the stomach hy increas' ing the digestion without a pabu' lum upon which to act save the stomach iteelf. It, at the same time, excites the glands of the stomach, the liver, the pancreas- in fact the entire glandular system connected with ailmentatiOn; 1t wastes the products of these glands, or diverts them from their proper use, and by so doing injures the system So you see gum chewing is not only ridiculous and a vulgar habit. but is hurtful to health and should be stopped - Dr. w. G. Priest in Globe Demo- crat.

TEMPERANCE COLUMN. ,,oNnrCrEp BY REV. T. W. HAYES.
PROHIBITION ALLIANCE.

Address of Judge ], N Cyoert, President of
 the Prohibition Alliance Of Arkansas. To the Friends of Temperance of
 the State of Arkansas:
 The annual meeting of the Pro. hi5l,ion Alliance of the State ot Arkansas, held at Rnssellvile, ad- journed to meet at Little Rock on Tuesday,:January 18th, 1887.
 The General Assembly of the State of Arkansas will then be m session and it is confidently hoped taat su3h legislation will be pei fected as to make the present laws for the suppression of the hqnor traffic more efficient; and in the furtherance of that object, 1t IS of the first importance that we should have A full attendance of delegates, composed of representative clti- zens from all parts of the State, at that meeting.
 This Alliance ia founded upon the broad principles of prohibition by law of general traffic Tn intoxl- eating liquors, and while this ques- tion is certainly of d political char arter, and one that bears directly mon our social interests, we de- clare it to be thoroughly non-par- tisan in politics and non-seciarlan in religion. being composed or members of all political parties and all religious denominations, and embracing every phase of temper ence reform, and is in harmony with every effort and every organ, izatien which seeks to suppress the the drink and liquor traffic.
 The system oflocal option adopt ed in this State has accomplished great good, in educating the public mind np to due appreciation of the importance of united effort ot all the friends of temperance, for the accomplishment of the object and purpose desired by each. All good people agree that drunkenness should be suppressed; the only controversy that can reasonably arise between them is as to the means best calculated to accom- plish that purpose. Therefore, let me urge upon the temperance workers in every county Tn the State to send delegates to the con vention in January, to the end that measures may be adopted, sats- factory to all the friends of our common cause.
 Every county is entitled to one vote. and one additional vote for every two hundred votes, or frac- ton thereof, cast against license at the last general election, that being the ratio of representation fixed by the Executive Committee.

 ance of Arkansas.

Why is it that three. e.bottles of B. B, B. are sold iu Atlnnta to one of any other blood remedy, and twice as much consumed in the State of Georgia as any other. preperation! No one need to take our word but simply ask the druggists. Ask the people. They are competent witnesses. Six houses in At lanta are buying B. B. B, in five and ten gross lots, and some of them buy SO often as every two months. Why these unprece- dented sales here at home with so little ad : yer.ising? Modesty forbids us making N reply. Had B.

A POOR CoLLECTION.- It was in this same office one Monday morning. The wotrhy occupant came in with grip in hand. He had been out into the country over Sunday to preach in a small church a begging sermon in the interest of the society which he represented.
 "There," said he, as he sat down at his desk, ''that was a fruitless erraud."
 "Didn't you get much" inquired his assistant.
 "Precious little," was the re- sponse. "The collection did not amount to qnite enough to pay my expense and my charge for the ser mon. I'll have to take it all and the society won't get anything"
 And that is the way he settled it.
