As we increase in age, when we have
spent, say, our first half-century, less
energy and activity remain, and less ex-
penditure can be made; less power to
eliminate is possible at so than at 80,
still less at 60 and upward. Less nutri-
ment, therefore, says Sir Henry Thomp-
son, must be taken in proportion as age
advances, or rather, as activity dimin-
ishes, or the individual will suffer. If he
continues to consume the same abund-
ant breakfasts, substantial lunches, and
heavy dinners which at the summit of
his power he could dispose of almost
with IMMUNITY he will in time certainly
accumulate fat, or become acquainted
with gout or rheumatism, o r show signs
Of unhealthy deposit of some kind in
some part OF the body, processes which
must inevitably poison, undermine, or
shorten his remaining term of life. He
must reduce his ~in-take," because a
smaller expenditure is an enforced con
dition of existence.-Herald Of Health.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
The New Railroad Company TO Present
Their Application To-day.

The board Of county commissioners
were in session Yesterday afternoon, and
allowed a number of bills. The object of
the meeting was to take action on the
application of the Cheyenne Il Northern
Railway company for the voting OF bonds
to aid in the construction Of n northern
railroad. County Commissioner Mann
was present and a certified copy Of the
new law was also placed before the com
missioners. Contrary, however, to the
expectation that had been entertained on
both sides, the application was not made
yesterday, the commissioners and the
representative Of the company p~ostponing
by mutual consent the making of the APP
plication until to-day, for which purpose
the board will hold another meeting this
afternoon. The commissioners, under the
law, will have FIVE days in which to order
the election which will have to take plSee
within twenty days after the call is issued.
From present indications it would seem
that the new company propose to move
expeditiously in this important matter.
The company will elect permanent officers
to-day.

II am always interested in newspaper
men and printers, said Judge Faust of
the Utah delegation to the range con
vention TO a reporter. Il was always n
great admirer OF old Horace Greeley. al
though I'm n Democrat, and l always
liked to read his paper.
when he came overland, i enter
tanned him ut my house right at the ex-
tremity Of the great American desert
my wife and l were both young then
and old Horace stopped at our house. l
played a little joke on the old man at
that time and | enjoy thinking about it.
we lived in a little double log cabin,
and the beds were made of cottonwood
poles with rawhide stretched across, and
the chairs were stools with ox-bows for
backs. That was the kind OF upholstery
which we had then.
~That was long before the electric
lights, of course, and we had no gas nor
even sperm candles. All that we had
for lights were tallow dips which we
made ourselves.
well, | was a little selfish and /
wanted to have a good long talk with
Mr.. Greeley, and so l played the joke on
him. Soon after he got to the house he
opened his saohel and took out a novel,
which he began Il read. That's a fact !
Lots of people nave doubted me when /
said that Horace Greeley read novels;
but it's true. He read Bulwer and those
solid kind OF authors, great thick books,
you know, and he read one that time. !
wanted him to sit up and talk with ME
and not read, 30 l gathered up all of the
tallow dips in the house and hid them.
Wen, he read away at hat novel until
dark. and then he called for a candle,
but there were none TO be found any
where about the house. So he had to
talk with me and l had an enjoyable
time. He told me all about his early
life, how he first went to New York; all
that I'd read before, but it was pleasant
10 hear him talk about it, and he told me
about Dana and all those old journalists,
and | had n good time.r-Denver Trib-

There are 200, 900 commercial travellers
or statesmen on the road" in this coun-
try. Each one Of these is selected from
an army OF clerks by his employers and
given his position on account Of his capa-
bilities and special qualifications for SELL
ing goods. He must be posted daily as
to prices, discounts, freight fates, the
cost Of delivering goods at his customers
doors, and must have n thorough ac-
quaintance with all the goods in his line
and the prices against which he COM
petes.
The drummer is 10 be met everywhere
in the business world; he pierces every
village and hamlet Of the civilized globe;
otel-keepers welcome him, because he
helps TO make business, and merchants
greet him whether or not they want to
buy. He spends money, but it is a popu-
lar fallacy that he spends his money
freely. He must keep down his ex-
penses that his profits may be as large
MS possible, as these regulate his salary.
Drummers carry from point TO point
their customs and ideas, as bees carry
pollen, and in this way they help to in
struct rs well as TO minister TO the physi-
cal wants Of people, and being entirely
accommodating in their politics and
geographical preferences, they may be
regarded as the great missionaries of

1t is not safe for a man who has been
in the habit for six, eight or ten years to
take eight or ten drinks a day TO suddenly
abandon the habit. Any man who does
will, as a rule, die within six months. l
have found that to be my own experience
with patients, and j have questioned
other physicians, and they have all
found the same result. You see a man
who drinks daily accustoms his system
to n certain amount of stimulation, and
when that stimulation is withdrawn at
once the weakest part Of the system
gives way. 1t may be the liver hat is
weak, or the kidneys, or some other
Representatives, one it is. it gives way
and breaks down for want of the accus-
toned stimulation, and it is rarely a
patient in such a case survives six

the CULTURE OF OPIUM.
The Industry In Malwa and bengal
Gathering the Poppy's juice.

The Industry In Malwa and bengal
Gathering the PoppJ's juice.
1T Is probable that very few owners O
fiower-gardens are aware that the pop
pies cultivated merely for will
produce opium. When the flower pc
tails have fallen, leaving the seed capsule
bare, If an incision be made in that body.
n sticky juice will exude. This juice is
opium. 1t varies in certain chemical
qualities, according to the country in
which it is cultivated, and the variety OF
plant from which it is produced.
Although the plant will grow in almost
any climate, it is in India that il is most
satisfactorily cultivated. the opium rev
enue Of that country being derived from
W sources, those of Malwa and those
of Bengal. The Malwa opium is pro-
duced in the native states of the interior,
and is not controlled by the British gov
eminent, except by tax. Bengal opium,
on the contrary, is under the direct super
intendence of English officials.
When the land has beer plowed and
narrowed. the poppy seed is sown at the
end of October, or the beginning of No
vember. Six pounds of seed are sufii-
Client for the third OF an acre.
As soon IA it begins to terminate. as it
does in a week after sowing. the land is
divided by burrows into rectangular beds,
about eight feet in length by four in
breadth. These channels are used for
irrigation, as the plants need frequent
watering. sometimes requiring it until
the crop is matured. About seventy-five
days after termination, the flower APP
pears, and its four petals are gently re-
moved, on the third day after their ex-
pansion, to be pasted together with the
leaves destined to form the outer shell
Of the opium cake.
In the course of eight or ten days, the
capsules are lanced at night, and the
juice which has exuded from the missions
is scraped of in the morning, with a
small scoop, and transferred TO a metal
or earthen vessel. This process is three
or four times repeated, at intervals of
two or three days, and the result is
crude opium. The flower petals and the
plant-leaves and stalks nave also a con
siderable value for packing purposes,
and the thicker portions OF the stalks are
used by the peasants for fire-wood. The
crude opium, having been gathered, is
stored by the %cultivator. and watched,
that it may remain free from mould or
faint.
At the end OF March, or the beginning
of April, when the weather is f~uriously
hot in Bengal, the c~ultivators, carrying
their opium. obey a summons calling
them to meet the deputy agent Of their
village. There the opium is tested, paid
for, and taken into the possession of the
government.
Finally the opium paste is made into
cakes, dried, packed in boxes, and re-
moved to Calcutta, for sale by auction

A speedy and efectual method of rails

is to have ecourse TO a system of lot

funds necessary for the completion of the
Panama canal will be realized through
such a scheme under the authority OF the
French government. To show how
meager are the returns 10 the investors

be mentioned that the king of the Bel
