The Virtues of Cocaine.
From Chambers Journals.

From Chambers Journals.
Although the plant has only recently
become known, it's virtues have long
been recognized by the natives in that
part of the world in which it grows.
1t is stated that in 1888 the Indians
consumed loo, 900 "cestos" of coca,
worth So so each in Guzco, and $4 in
Potosi In 1891 an excise of per
cent was imposed on coca, and in
1746 to 1850 this duty yielded $500
and 81 500 respectively, from Carav-
ava alone. Between 1885 and l795,
the coca traffic was calculated at
81, ,207, ,436 in the Peruvian vice roy
atty, and including that OF Buenos
Ayres, $2,641, ,478. The coca trade is
government monopoly in Bolivia,
the state reserving the right of pur-
chasing from the growers and reselling
to the consumers. This right is gem
orally farmed out to the highest bid
der The proximate animal produce
of coca ins Peru is about fifteen million
pounds, the average yield being about
eight hundred pounds en- acre. More
than ten million pounds are produc-
ed annually in Bolivia; so that the
annual yield of coca throughout
South America. including Peru, Boliv-
ia, Ecuador and Paste may be esti-
mated at thirty million pounds. 1t
IS scarcely pleasant news to learn that
the natives who cultivate the coca
plant, themselves absorb SO much Of
the products OF their own production.
We have here, doubtless, the cultiva-
ton of the costliness of cocaine and
the scarcity of the drug. This can
hardly be otherwise, it is to be feared,
for some time to come when we re-
member that the reliance upon the
extraordinary virtues OF the coca leaf
among the Peruvian indians il SO
strong that in the Huanuco province
they believe that If a dying man can
taste q leaf placed upon his tongue it
is q sure sign Of his future happiness.

A DREAMER

Deem him not idle, that he gazed
On purping dawns and restless sea;
Stood oft by sunset splendors dazed,
Or wraptin nights deep mystery.
Nor chidc him, that in leafy wood
With folded arms he fingered long;
Claiming with nature brotherhood,
Enra ptured by the thrushs song.
And marvel not that in the ways
OF busy life he ne 'er was SEEN
But wandered where the zephyr plays,
BY babbing brook and covert green.
Call him not idle-for behold,
Fresh from the hillside and the glen,
In silvern speech and phrase of gold,
He tells the ways OF God to men.

BAD MEATS in THE MARKETS.
Further Testimony Showing that Crippled
and Diseased Animals We're Sold for Food.

The matter Of the sale of bull beef and other
questionable meats came before the special
committee of the Council again yesterday.
The testimony largely confirmed that hereto
fore taken, but Meat Inspector Barker and the
Board of Health. against whom the charges
have been made of dereliction OF duty, contest
strongly the position taken by the prosecution.
They have Henry NJ Span to attend to the
rossexamining of witnesses, but the facts
elicited point to sale of bull, bruised, cancer
jawed and crippled meats. The witnesses with
out an exception have been butchers and their
employees.
Yesterday Jacob Schmidt, at one time in the
employ of Dennis Brian, said he knew of meats
He claimed that frstclass beef. veal and lamb
cannot DO sold there. He had bought bruised
meat at the abattoir, and had killed for the
trade cancer jawed steers This was two years
ago; but about month since VIM. Meek sold
bruised meat He thought Barker to be good
meat inspector. Charles Gardner admitted that
he had killed bulls to use in making bologna
sausage. He also killed such animals for the
butchers and shipped many of them to Luke Is
Gillette, New York, and Julius Frank, Cincin-
Eati.
j. A. Richardson, weigher at the stockyards,
said that he kept record of bulls bought by
butchers These sales averaged sixty seventy
per month, and were made to Gardner Dennis,
Brian, Brown and Frumholdt
w. K. Thompson, every market morning saw
bull beef in the butchers stalls. He also
noticed there bruised meat and that of old cows.
Peter Sindlinger testified that he had sold
secondclass meat, but nothing unwholesome,
nor any from cancer awed or crippled animals
Barker once condemned an unwholesome steer
he had in market.
Charles G. Davis, of the East ST. Louis Com
pany, had seen bull meat hanging in the market,
together with tha4 of very poor cows.
Lewis Rose, employed at the abattoir, had
not seen Barker condemn any meat there within
the past year until on Monday last.
Samuel Barker said that he had always been
regular in his visits to the abattoir and market
every morning He had condemned meats but
had never seen any bull beef on the market, al
though he has seen bulls killed at the abattoir.
He did not know where the meat was sent He
could have brought the city into many damage
suits, but he had condemned every bad piece Of
meat he had found.
j. c. Maxwell testified that oleomargarine and
butterine, without the labels required by the
city ordinance, was sold by nearly everyone who
had a stand in the market. 1t was placed where
everyone could see it, The investigation will be
continued Friday morning

turkey Raising.

II Is Just as easy TO raise fine, large and
healthy turkeys if the proper course DO
pursued, as IL is to worry over a lot OF puny
birds all the season. and then have them
only attain TO about half the size they
otherwise would. The best place to rails
turkeys successfully and profit ably is on
grain or grass farm, where they can have
good range. Turkeys kept housed will not
do well. They cannot bear confinement.
1t is natural for them TO roam about
even while young, in search of bugs 9nt
flies. The best mother is turkey he
she viii cover her chicks well.
For breeding stock select a large, well
formed and early Matched young gobblc.,
and, when il can be done, have your hem
two years old AT least They will lay better,
set steadier, and are far better mothers,
while the young are invariably harder
than those from last years hatch. Ifgood,
strong stock is selected, turkey raising is
very easy, and especially profitable where
bronze 0oJbiers are used. A young bronze
gobbler running with a dozen common
hens will add an average o: FIVE pounds TO
the weight OF each chick Matched the first
year, while the young turkeys will be
stronger and more easily raised, besides
bringing greater remuneration to their
owner when marketed.
In some portions OF California flocks OF
from 1000 TO 5000 are raised by one owner.
The young require nothing but warmth
for the first forty-eight hours. Turkeys
latch in twenty-seven or twenty-eight
avs. If young turkeys are fed at all, they
should be fed with soft food, not ,cet food
and often. For the last feed, given early in
the evening. broken wheat is preferred.
They are very fond OF curd, or cottage
cheese, or smearkase; it is good for them.
know some parties who consider that their
success in raising young turkeys is due to
q free use Of the above. For drink, fresh
and sweet milk is preferable TO water. Do
not let il sour in their drinking vessels.
Corn meal, mixed with the liquid in which
neal has been boiled, is good food. On
ions chopped fine are very desirable foi
poultry, especially so tor yourg turkeys.
One Of the greatest enemies ofchicks is the
large or head louise. Toprevent and remove
this pest, anoint the head OF each young
turkey with lard or butter. Some use coal
+. oil, but thai is TOO heroic treatment. Dust
your turkey hen well with carbolic powdei
'vhen you set her, and repeat a few days
before Matching Follow q similar course
with chickens
