Chinese Ideas of Justice.

Chinese ideas of discipline are pecu-
liar. A short time since the land
office at Fussu Hong was attacked by
thirty bandits disguised as regular
troops. The officer in charge defended
the place bravely, and did not yield
until one of his men had been killed
and himself and five others wounded.
The robbers plundered the treasury,
set fire to the Office and rode off In
any other country the officer would
have been commended for his courage,
but the Chinese authorities looked at
the matter differently, and he was pro-
nounced severely to blame for not hav-
ing taken measures to acquaint himself
with the advance of the robbers, and
for having failed to beat them off. He
was, therefore, cashiered, while the
officer in special charge of the treasury
was adjudged to have had larger sum
deposited than he should have kept by
him, and was called upon to make
good the loss to the public out of his
own funds.-N. T. Times.

PENNY GROCERIES.


How the Poorest People Manage to Live
In New York.
Within the last six months a number
of Italians and Germans have started
penny groceries in the parts of the city
populated by the poor, and these places
all seem to be prosperous and thriving.
Ten cents is thought by these grocers
to be big bill, and the investor of
quarter is inevitably regarded as q
millionaire. In conversation with re-
porter, leading retail grocer said:
There is no doubt these penny
groceries are on the increase. They
are an evil, and the penny grocer is
really the poor mans enemy instead of
his friend. In the penny grocery the
poor man pays twice as much for his
provisions in the long run and doesn't
get as good quality as if he bought
them in moderate quantities from larger
stores. The penny groceries are
stocked with what the poor man is
likely to buy. The quality of the pro-
visions is not good; the coffee and tea
are especially poor, and the vegetables
invariably STALE
An Italian who keeps penny gro
Gerry in South Fifth Avenue, near
Blocker Street, gives the following list
as an illustration of what can be done
in penny grocery with q silver

Proper Protection of Stock.

The rule to be observed by every
farmer in regard to the proper keeping
of cattle is that every animal from the
greatest to the least should be kept
happy and saved from pain and misery.
Then the stock are profitably kept, and
the profit is in proportion to the degree
of comfort enjoyed by them. Every
farmer before he retires to his own
warm bed at night or before he eats
his abundant supper, should ask HIM
self Are my cattle, horses, sheep,
pigs, and fowls resting in comfort and
with well filled bellies? If he can not
answer himself allirmatively and his
conscience accuses him Of neglect, let
him be assured that his pocket is suf-
fering just as much rs his stock are,
and that, moreover, his conduct is just
as inhuman as if he prodded his ami
mails with a fork or beat them with
clubs.--N Y. Times.

ANOTHER HOBBY DEAD.

From Barimore lIornjuo Herald

IRON BdHtBlOTe Morning Herald.
In the kharkoo region of Russia quinine is
considered of no account for the cure of chills
and fever The Kharkoo doctor catches mess
of live crabs, pours whisky over them until
they become hilariously drunk and then puts
them in hot oven. After being well dried
they are pulverized, shells and all, and admin
istered in drachm doses. Where the crabs most
abound in this country. in the waters of the
Eastern shore of Maryland and the Eastern
shore of Virginia, the inhabitants have long
since abandoned the use of quinine and sensi-
bly, resort to prevention in the use of pure
whisky. In the malarial sections of the great
West, Southwest, and South this once famed
remedy is now looked upon as worse than the
disease. In territories where the virgin sod is
first broken the malaral poison exuding there
from spreads pestilence far and near Years
ago in the homes of the first settlers an admix-
ture of whisky and quinine was the favorite
dose for the chills, but after years of dosing in
this crude manner quinine has long since been
given up and whisky only remains in the flask
for family and medicinal use Experience
taught these settlers long ago that the amount
ofquinine required to drive out the malarial
poison in the blood. left in its place, if not
worse poison, condition of the system made
worse instead of better. The effects of the qui-
nine were clearly defined in long-continued |

Gaillards Medical Journal, October 1885, con- |
tains an article by l.. B. Anderson, NJ. d., |
Norfolk, Va, in which the learned doctor uses |
this emphatic language: =" l hope 1 may be par

sOMETHEAG FOR pYsPEPTics,
4 HpiU,lpl ppOnlp.

From the PtiiG. Medical Record
We do not mean to intimate that all the So
called remedies for dyspepsia are valucess, but
human creduity is so strong, that some un-
scrupuous persons trade upon the fears of the
weak and debiitated. Among the things which
appeal so strongly TO this weakness are Bitters.
The very name is in their favor. The mode Of
life of the average American is of such charac-
ter, that he is constantly i'll need of tonic. He
is rushed at his business swallows his meals
hastily and without any thought as to the
capacity of his stomach for digestion, takes lit
tie rest, and necessarily feels hipped is subject
to headache, and takes often gloomy view of
things generally. In such cases he resorts to
btters, under the delusion that they will act
on the secretiOns of the stomach and give the
system new strength and energy. The writer
recently purchased samples of four of the most
widely advertised bitters in the market, and
the simple chemical analysis to which they were
subjected showed that they contained about 80
per cent. (the amount the Government allows)
of the most poisonous and adulterated alcohol,
and that the residuum consisted of various
foreign substances, which were simply added
as tlavoring extracts, to disguise the taste of
the original compound. The poorer the grade
of the alcohol the more vicious is the compound.
The value which so-called bitters are supposed
to have is of purely fictitious character In
fact, in time they irritate and injure the deli
cate membrane of the stomach and so vitiate the
tastv that the palate soon cannot distinguish be-
tween good and bad. These decoctions are con-
sumed principally by the debilitated, the con-
valescent, the depressed, and particularly by
aged people and weak women and others to
whom stimulant is indispensable. Now, while
alcohol, especially in the form of whisky, is
acknowledged to be the best known stimulant,
and is prescribed and used by physicians for
this purpose everywhere, we can't conceive
why people will insist upon taking the alcohol
thd Of III
of which they know nothing and which, as
shown by analysis, contains fusel oil, vitrio,
catechu and poisons of the most deadly kind.
1t would be far better for them to come out
boldly and use the pure article, something made
from malt i'll which there is no fusel oil. There
may be little difficulty in obtaining an article
of this kind, as there is only one firm in the
country. E., the discoverers of Dufly's pure
malt whisky-which distils il, and which COM
bnes food and stimulating qualities.
