Sales OF whisky on the Increase.

Sales OF Whisky on the Increase.
When we consider the progress made
in prohibition it would seem that the
sales of liquor should be on the decrease.
There can be no doubt that society has
made great progress in temperance. The
temperance societies, churches and la
Dor organizations have all united to in
duce people to use less whisky. These
efforts have had their influence, and it is
fact that people do not drink as much
whisky as formerly. But, in this con-
nectIon, the Brewers Association that
met at Niagara Falls, last week, offer
some singular evidences to the contrary.
Their statistics show that the consump-
ton of whisky is on the increase. Last
year a million of barrels more were sold
than the previous year. Notwithstanding
prol ibtion, more distilleries are being
erected and the distillers are confidently
looking for a greatly increased demand
this and the coming years How will our
prohibition friends explain this? Every
thing apparently indicates that whisky

Ii there is one thing more than another
in Kissimmmee which the Leader takes
pride in, is our public school. The state
only provides for five months term,
but X issimmee has decided upon nine
months term, which will necessitate the
raising of quite sum of money, though
not as much as last term for we now
have no school house to build. Educa-
ton is in reality the foundation of our
progress and prosperity; consequently it
Is essential that the rising generation be
given a liberal education to prepare
them for the duties of citizenship. Kis-
simmee, ever foremost in all charitable
and benevolent enterprises, will be called
upon 10 contribute to the maintenance
of a school which, though among the
youngest. has already taken a position
among the first and best in the county.
Friends, lay aside few spare dollars
so that when called upon your offering
in behalf of free education may be forth

Care OF the Hair.

A prevalent idea is that which asserts
that frequent brushing and stimulation
of the scalp with hard brush is the
proper treatment of the hair. Nothingis
more contrary to scientific experience
and fact. All authorities on the treat
ment of the skin and hair agree in saying
that the use of the hard brush, as too
commonly used, is destructive to the
hairs. The skin is irritated by hard
brushing. The hairs are broken and
bruised by such treatment, and the idea
that scurf is removed by this practice is
delusive, for scurf forms faster than be-
fore. The hair-brush, therefore, should
be soft. DR.. Pincus says: ''To work
away at the head. to smooth naturally
curly hair, or, as Is sometimes intended.
to curl smooth hair, or to remove oil the
scurf from tho he .d. is very pcrnicious. '"
The ordinary hair-brush, OF soft texture,
is as GOOD bru n as one need use. The
bristles should not be set too closely or
be TOO stiff in texture. The wire brushes
in use are also useful. Their excellence
is derived from the same conditions
which make an o: o:dinary soft,pliant hair
brush pleasant to use.-UcraA Of Health.

Heat Holidays.

The 50 called hitzfcrien (heat holidays,
which are now established by law in
Germany and Switzerland, deserve imi
tation everywhere. When the thermom-
cter reaches o certain point lessons must
cease. Throughout Prussia the observ-
ance of this regulation is compulsory in
all private as we'll as in public schools
Indeed, the private school in Prussia is
fast becoming 6 public, since no director
or proprietor of a private school IS al
lowed to employ as teacher, either male
or female, any uncertiticated person,
while even the books used in private
schools are bound to be legitimate school
editions. During the coming term, for
instance, at private school in which
there are at least twenty English girls,
the mistress has received a notification
that she must use Schulausgabe of
Schiller in order that the pupils may en-
ploy the new spelling which the Minister
of Education now demands. The Basel
government has just issued new regu.
lation for the hitzferien in the Basel
schools. When the temperature rises to
twenty degrees (Rcaumus) in the shade
at ten o'clock in the morning, holiday
is to be proclaimed to the scholars until
the afternoon. Two such holidays were
proclaimed during the heat of last week.

girls, whose jubilant greeting of the an
nouncement could be heard from the
open windows of the gymnasium.-PalI

Most startling it is when lying in the
noontide shade of the woods of Southern
Europe to see bits of brie eht green or dull

upon as leaves suddenly seem to take to
themselves wings and fly away. There
is an insect whose long, thin body is
perfect ditto of the dry twig on which
he perches, and while he perches he taps
his small diaphanous wings with such
rapidity as to make them invisible to the
dull sense of the human observer; more
startling still it is, therefore, when this
seeming twig finally dashes away into
space Butterflies and moths, too. are
often pictures of the flowers on which
they alight.-Notes and Queries

The Pecan Tree.

The pecan tree is found in wild
state in the woods of the various sections
of the South and West 1t grows to q
very large size, and bears yearly many
bushels of fine favored nuts. Though
little or no attention has been paid 10
these valuable trees, cultivation greatly
improves them, the nut growing much
larger and improving in flavor. The
pecan tree lives to great age, and con-
tinues long in bearing. There is no good
reason why it should not be grown ex-
tensively in all parts of the United
States. 1t is we'll adapted to any kind of
soil, doing we'll On rocky hills and waste
land. There is no nut or fruit tree more
valuable and requiring so little atten-
ton. The nuts always find ready sale at
fancy prices. In planting the trees the
only object is to obtain good fresh nuts,
and of q good early variety, of large
size, from which to grow the trees. If
it is preferred to set out the plants, get
healthy trees of good variety one to
two years old.-Scientifc american.

Can Consumption DC CuTcus
We have so often seen fatal results follow
thedeclaration that 1t can be cured, that we
have unconsciously settled down in the belief
that this disease must necessarily prove fatal
1t is true that occasionally community has
witnessed an isolated case Of what may ap-
propriately be termed spontaneous recovery,
but to what combination Of favorable circum-
stances this result was due none have hitherto
been found able to determine.
We have now the gratifying fact to announce
that the process by which nature affects this
wonderful change is no longer . mystery to
tho medical profession, and that the changes
brought about in the system under favorable
circumstances by intrinsic causes may be
made as certainly and more expeditiously by
the use Of the proper remedy. In other words,
nature is initiated and assisted.
Tuberculous matter is nothing more or less
than nourishment imperfectly organized.
Now, II we can procure the organization Of
this food material so that through the process
of elective affinity it may take its place in the
system, we can cure the disease. This Is just
what Piso's Cure for Consumption does. 1t ar
rests at once the progress of the disease by
preventing the further supply Of tuberculous
matter, 10r Wnlle Lne system ID uuuer us inHu-
ence all nourishment is organized and asslmi-
lated. 1t thus controls cough, eNpectoration,
night-sweats, hectic fever, and all other char
acteristic symptoms of Consumption: :,
Many physicians are now using this medl-
cine, and all write that it comes fully up 10 its
recommendations and makes Consumption one
Of the diseases they can readily cure.
The forming stage Of q disease is always the
most auspicious for treatment. This TACT
should induce persons to resort 10 the use OF
Piso's Cure when the cough is first noticed,
whether it has conSumptive diathesis for its
cause or not. for this remedy cures all kinds OF
coughs with uncqualed facility and prompt
ness. In coughs from simple cold, two or
three doses of the medicine have been found
sufficient to remove the trouble. So in all dis
eases Of tho throat and lungs, with symptoms
Stimulating those of Consumption, Piso's Cure
is the only infallible remedy.
The following letter recommending Plso's
Cure for Consumption, Is a fair sample OF the
certificates received daily by the proprietor OF
ALBION, N. Y, Dec. 20, 1885.
I had terrible cough, and two physicians
said would never get well. / then went to
drug store and asked for good cough medi-
cine. The druggist gave me Piso's Cure, and it
has done me more good than anything lever
used. l do not believe could live without 1t.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Selecting Seed Corn.

The losses that occur every year from
the employment of defective or inferior
seed corn ought to impress every farmer
with the necessity of careful selection
of seed at time Of harvesting the crop.
While the corn is yet standing IN the
fields this selection can be readily and
iudiciously made, but the corn once IN
the bins the farmer labors under serious
disadvantages. In selecting SEED four
points should be taken into consldera-
tion-first, earlincss of maturity; second,
number of ears upon stalk; third, size
of the stalks, and fourth, perfection OF
of the ears. Like produces like with
seed as with animals. One cannot ex-
pect to produce large crop of corn
when, for instance, five stalks have grown
in q hill and but one has borne an ear.
Every farmer knows that such corn IS
useless for seed.
The best ear for seed-corn IS the one
that is uniform in size throughout its en-
tire length, with straight lows and with
formed grains the entire length.
Seed corn must be gathered before
freezing weather and placed where 1t will
begin Immediately to dry. In the north
ern belt of States this drying question is
an important one, for if the corn-espe-
cially the larger varieties--be not sub
iected to favorable conditions for dry
ing, so that the seed corn will become
thoroughly cured, COB included, it will
result in failure through lack of germl-
mating powers, while if properly cured
it will sprout and grow under almost any
condition.
Many farmers after having dried their
seed corn store it in the lofts of their
smokehouses in order thatit may become
permeated with the creosote from the
smoke there, and thus gain protection,
when planted, against the depredations
of field mice, worms aud squirrels

Seven years ago my struggle for life began

with pain and aching in the back. The least
cold or over work would aggravate my troub-

tongue coated, appetite poor, nerves unstrung
and my sleep troubled. I made desperate
effort to keep about, butin spite OF all my reso-
luttons and the help Of physicians, found my
self growing worse month by month, and my
once powerful constitution completely break
ing down. suffered from chronic Inflammation
of the kidneys, rheumatism and catarrh of the
bladder. Blood would rush to my head, would
feel faint and weak, and found 1t difficult to
breathe at times as my heart would throb and
skip beats. In the spring Of 1880 still moro
critical symptoms set In. My terrible agony
no one could tell. My weight was reduced
and rawness was followed by attacks Of inward
