WHEN NOT TO DRINK.
Some Wise Points for Business Men
Who Tipple at Wrong Hours.

Some Wise Points for Business Men
Who Tipple at Wrong Hours.
From the Chicago Tribune.l
Moderate drinkers engaged in pursuits
calling for judgment and acumen, and who
use liquors during business hours, end, with
scarcely an exception, as financial wrecks,
however successful they may be in with
standing the physical consequences of their
indulgence. Thousands who retain their
health and are never ranked as victims of in
temperance lose their property, wreck their
business and are thrown into bankruptcy be-
cause of tippling habits during business
hours. These men are not drunkards and
only close observers can detect the influence
of strong drink in their department.; but
nevertheless liquor gives them false nerve,
makes them reckless, clouds the judgment
and soon involves them in bad purchases,
worse sales aud ruinous contracts. Sooner
or later it is shown that the habit of tippling
during business hours is a forerunner of
bankruptcy. Let every such drinker review
his business transactions for series of years
and answer whether this statement is not
true.

ner as chloroform or ether, producing stim-
ulation which affects cool thought, followed
by depression corresponding to the amount
of the dose. What man would expect to
succeed in business if he were accustomed to
take, while at work, even very slight whiffs
of ether, chloroform or laughing gas and
keep himself all the time more or less under
such beclouding influences? Such man.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Senator Hoar, it is said, will labor jealous
ly at the next session of Congress for the
passage of national bankruptcy bill, and
it is to be hoped that his labor will be sue
cessful. Such bill ought to have been
passed long ago.
A correspondent in Wallingford writes
that Hon. L. NJ Hubbard is going to have
heavy vote in his own town and that many
Democrats will vote for him. It will be SO

popular man. and has frst-class qualifca
tions for the Office for which he was nomi-
mated.
Fifteen years ago the buffalo ranges of
Kansas and Colorado were covered with
thousands of these animals. The other day
party went from Denver, and after weeks
hunting managed to kill three from herd of
twenty nine that they found in Lost park.
1t is said that there are not more than 1900
buffaloes now in existence. Systematic
slaughter has produced this result.
In this country people afflicted with con-
sumption are much afraid of the night air.
A certain Teutonic doctor thinks that night
air is good for consumptives. He makes his
patients pass the night in the open air of the
Thuringian forest, well wrapped up, and
sleeping in light hammocks SO as to avoid all
damp from the ground. A watchman keeps
off any intruders who might disturb the
nights rest, and hitherto the experiment has
proved wonderfully successful.
The large registration in New York city
indicates the interest taken in the contest.
In 1884 the total registration was 24O, ,9O6,

was 2s7, ,7s0, and for mayor 1885. This
year the registration books contain 235, ,S74

indispensable ally wherever victims are sys-

also in the rivalries of legitimate business.
The professional gambler keeps a free bar,
but never drinks himself when at the table;
and while sober, clear headed, honorable
merchant, dealer or operator would not en-
deavor to ply his rival with liquor, he would
gain great advantages from the latter's self
sought indulgence. Liquor shows its VIC
Tins not only in saloons and gambling dens,

Per~hing Found Guilty.

DIR. Pershing, President OF Pitts
burg Female College, was found
guilty of lying and immoral conduct
after n trial which lasted nearly four
weeks. DR.. Pershing is well known
in West Virginia.
The Investigating Committee were
in session seventeen hours. In that
time they went over all the testi-
mony and then voted on each speci-
fication and charge. They reached
"a conclusion at half past II o'clock.
The report of the committee, signed
by the seven ministers. was as fol-
lows:
The committee called for the in
ycstigation of certain charges on be-
half of the Methodist Episcopal
church against /. c. Pershing, find
as follows: Charge |. Dishonesty
Sustained; vote 8 to 2. Charge 2.
Obtaining money under false pre-
tenses-Not sustained: vote | to 6.
Charge 3. Lying-Sustained; vote
unanimous. General charge of i'm
moral Notwithstanding vote
unanimous.
Therefore, l. G. Pershing is hereby
suspended from all ministerial ser
vices and church privileges until the
ensuing session of the Pittsburg An
nual Conference.
We concur in the finding as far as
relates to specification 4, charge 3,
believing this specification sustains
the general charge of immoral con
duct.
DIR. Pershing, accompanied by his
daughter, Mrs. Anderson and her
husband, w. G. Anderson, ESQ.,, were
present when the report was read.
Permission was asked by the Doctor
to have access to the minutes of the
investigation in making up his dc
Tense to be presented and granted.
The committee then adjourned after
being in session nearly four weeks.
DIR. Pershing will retain possession
of the college till his lease expires.
Next September he will have hear
ing before the Annual Conference.
Meanwhile he is suspended from all
ministerial work and privileges.

due allowance for latitude. There
is probably still work in the wood

may be cut with profit. Maple,
birch, and other trees, which early
feel the influence of the coming
spring, ought to be felled very early
in the season. for cut at this time,
even the logs will bleed, and be long
in drying and seasoning. Snow
should be made use Of while it lasts,
and the paths are good for getting
out fire wood and timber from the
woods, and for hauling manure upon
the fields. Ice, also. may be much
more economically hauled, and ought
to be secured at once, for after

in vain to expect much first-rate ice.

This appears to be time Of great
religious awakening in many parts
of the country. Morgantown has
just experienced the greatest revival
in her history, conducted by Miss
Jennie Smith, West Virginia evan
gelist. More than 100 conversion
are reported. Hundreds Of CONVEX
sions daily attended Rev. Sam. Jones
meetings at Cincinnati. At Con-
nersville, Indiana, 400 or 500 CON
verts are reported and the work
still continues. At the latter place
the results are having direct effect
on the commercial interests of the
place, as merchants report that
store bills are now being paid by
men who had heretofore been classed
either as wilful dead beats or as hav-
ing squandered their means in dissi-
patton, so that they never had any
money wherewith to pay. Saloons
and billiard halls are depopulated
and skating Kinks have lost their
charms. while interest continues and
the wonder increases. Many town

Hydrophobia, or Rabies, as far as
the public is concerned, originates
with the dog, although many other
animals and men are subject to it.
SO far as domestic animals are con
ccrncd. they become rabid after be-
ing hitten by rabid dogs. 1t be-
comes. therefore, most important to
recognize the malady in its earliest
stages, because so large proportion

bitten, naturally take the disease.

friends. Dog owner should therefore
be always alert and suspicious of
any symptoms of illness on the part
of their dogs. Mr.. A. J. Sewell,
member of the Royal College of Vet
Urinary Surgeons, states concisely
the primary symptoms as follows:
If loss of appetite is observed, watch
the animal closely. Timid dogs be-
come fearless. snap at and bite large
and small dogs without proyocatioD,
and this snap is often preceded by n
lick from the rabid dog. Even the
cat is liable to be attacked. Cheer
full dogs become morosc and sullen,
quiet ones restless, and good tenn
percd ones unquiet. and Il disposition
to hide in dark corners is observed.
The bark becomes short, dismal,

should be well known to the owner.
AS rule, rabid dogs refuse food,
yet they will devour filth, stones,
straw, etc. They will gnaw the
wood work of their kennel, hearth
rugs, table cloths, legs of tables,
chairs, etc. A rabid dog has great
inclination to escape and wander.
Hence, when any suspicious symp-
toms shall have been detected, he
should be securely chained. Rabid
dogs have no fear of water, and dur
ing the early stage can drink freely.
