Temperance Notes.


HEREDITY ONCE MORE.-Dr. Henry
NJ. Hurd, superintendent of the East
ern Michigan Asylum for the Insane,
has made a special study of heredity
in its relations to insanity. The num-
Der of patients under his care averages
about six hundred. He has traced
the family history of the majority of
them and feels confident that in more
than fifty per cent. Of cases, the pre-
disposing cause Of epilepsy, insanity
and idiocy was inebriety of the patient
or his ancestors. He speaks not as
temperance advocate. but as a scien-
tist as such his opinion has great
weight on both sides the Atlantic. If
his assertion be. true-and who can
doubt t?--the taxpayers of Michigan
are annually made to pay many thou
sands Of dollars to support and care
for people who, but for drink, would
be able to support and care for them
selves. Does it pay?-Signal.
STEP BY STEP.-The young man
when he first goes into dissipation is
particular where he goes. 1t must be
o fashionable hotel. He could not be
tempted into these corner nuisances
with red stained glass and mug of
beer painted on the sign board. You
ask the young man to go into that
place and he would say: "Do you
mean to insult me?" No, it must be
a marble floored bar-room. There
must be no drunken hickuping while
he takes his glass. 1t must be place
where elegant gentlemen come in and
click their cut glass and drink to the
announcement of fattering sentiment.
But the young man cannot always
find that kind Of place, yet he has
q thirst and it must be gratified. The !
down grade is sleeper now, and he is
almost at the bottom. Here they sit
in an oyster cellar, round a card table,
Wheeling, bloated and blood-shot. |
with cards so greasy you can hardly
tell who has the best hand but never
mind, they are only playing for the
drinks. Shuttle away, shuttle away.
The landlord stands in his shirt
sleeves, with his hands on his hips,
watching the game and waiting for
another call to ill up the glasses. It
is the hot breath of eternal woe that
tlushes that young mans cheek. In
the jets Of gaslight l see the shooting
out of the fiery tongue Of the worm
that never dies. The clock strikes
u. 1t is the tolling of the bell of
eternity IaImage.

From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c.,

The argus-eyed correspondent of a
Portland paper who has been up in
Canada, says the officials there are
very saucy concerning the fisheries
dispute. They don't care for the
United States, having the home gov
eminent at their bank, and mean to
push their hostility to Yankee fisher
men to greater extent than hereto
fore. Uncle Sam may wake up one of
these days.

| CARE OF CORN FODDER.-The farmers
of this country waste enough feed each
year to winter as many animals as they
keep; that is, by saving all food and
| feeding it judiciously, they could double
their tlOcks and herds. The greatest
waste is perhaps in the matter of corn
| fodder. A ton of good corn fodder is
equal in practical feeding value to two
| third Of ton of equally good timothy
hay. Our annual area in corn exceeds
60,O00,000 acres. If this yielded one ton
Of fodder per acre, the fodder crop
would be equivalent to 10, 900, 900 tons of
hay, worth a. least $4O0,0 900. 1t is
safe to say, that two-thirds of this is
wasted. In the great corn producing
States but little fodder is cut. After
the ears are gathered, generally not I'm
til late into the winter, the stalks are
pastured by cattle. This is the COM
mon expression, and it is correct one,
for very little besides the stalks remains.
The most palatable and nutritious parts
of the fodder, the blades and the stalk
down to the taSsel joint, are rotting on
the ground; all that remains for the
cattle is the dry huSk and coarse stalk,
neither of which is palatable or highly
nutritious. 1t may be neither wise nor
practicable to cut all the corn raised.
We do not care to argue this point.
But we are sure that enough fodder
should be cut to give farm stock abund-
ant ratiOnS during the winter. So long
as animals weigh but little more in the
spring than they did in the previous
fall, and when their fat is certainly less,
the saving of more fodder than is at
present secured cannot be too strongly
urged. Corn for fodder is best cut early
If fodder were the first consideration,
the proper time to cut the corn would be
before the ears were fully matured. But
as the ears are the most valuable, cut
the fodder Immediately after they have
matured. Do not wait to gather the
ears !; they can be husked out on the
barn floor during the cold days of win
ter. Certainly the fodder should be cut
before any part of it is lost; and the
most valuable part, the blades, is the
first to be lost. In the West, shocks
are commonly made too large-sixteen
hills square. From eight to twelve
hills square is better. The area cut over
to form a shock should be just so large
that the cutter can begin at the shock,
cut to the outside and back again, hold
ing all he has cut conveniently in his
arm; or else cut from one shock to an
other, carrying one row of corn along
with him. In the latter case, a row of
shocks is begun across the field, and the
workman cuts back and forth along the
row. This is the fastest way. The best
standard is made by bending four hills
together = two diagonal hills being
Tapped and twisted Ogether.-Anerican

SPANS LITTLE Notwithstanding to
a Spanish medical journal, DR.. Sanchez
Ocana, the physician to whom is en-
trusted the honorable and responsible
duty of attending the infant King of
Spain, interviewed no less than twenty
seven women for the purpose of choos-
ing a wet-nurse for his youthful Majesty.
The Lancet, the leading medical paper
of London, says: 1T seems to have
been decided before the birth took place
that the royal mother was not to be al
lowed the natural privilege which is
properly so priced by most mothers of
lower degree-wOuld that we could say
so of all But where Royalty sets the
fashion, what wonder is it that others,
with no public or extra domestic duties
whatever to attend, and so entirely with
out excuse, hasten to depute the mothers
duty to stranger ?n This infant king,
by the way, enjoys the rare distinction
of having been born a monarch. There
is no other like instance in the history
of Spain.-BabyhOOd

Obituary.

Mrs. B. Jones was born in Ran
dolph county, Ga, May IL, 1843.
and died in Terrell county, Ga,
June 4th, 1886.
Sister Jones had been a member
Of the church since her girlhood.
1t was my privilege to know her
only a short time before her death.
She was not demon strative IN her
religion, but her life was consist
ent. She was always the same.
She suffered a long time with
consumption; yet no mdrmur was
ever heard to escape her lips.
She seemed to think it was all
right; and SO it was in her case,
for when death came she fell
asleep in Jesus.
She has left priceless heritage
behind.
May the memories Of her pure
life as given to God be a light TO
guide her friends and loved ones
to heaven.

purchased this furniture at his

that the citizens would repay
him, and he has adopted this plan
to raise the money. We think it
the duty of every citizen, whether
he be a patron of the school or

in the welfare of our educational
institutions, TO aid in making this
enterprise a financial success. Be-
sides these obligations, the enter
tainment will he worth the price

Last Monday the Governor par
doned Ell Dyson, colored, who was
convicted in this county, in 1883,
on the charge of rape. The petition
for pardon was very strong one,
signed by all Of the coart officers
and many of the leading citizens
of Terrell county. There is a
strong doubt as to the guilt OF Dy-
son, the woman who brought the
charge against him having recent
~ confessed that she was in luced
to make the charge through fear
OF her husband, and that she was
not sare by any means that he
was her assailant. Dyson has
been confined in the Dade coal
mines serving twenty years SEN
tence. This Is Governor Gordon's
first pardon. Col. j. G. Parks
was very active in bringing about
the pard don, having circulated the
petition and visited the Governor
in person to lay the matter before
him.
