The Cocaine Habit.

The Bellevue Hospital authorities say
the cocaine habit is on the increase ae-
cording to their statistics. 1t has not,
however, reached startling proportions,
as only fifteen cases have been treated in
Bellevue during the present year. About
one half of the patients were found to
be suffering from morphine as well as CO.
caine, and, as rule, resorted to the lat
ter to escape the former. Owing to the
comparatively recent discovery of CO.
caine they were not aware that they were
flying for relief to q more deadly drug.
The cocaine habit is considered incur
able when once contracted.
The most notable instance Of its dire
effects known in this country is in the
case Of Of DIR. Charles Bradley, of Chi
cago, who was a fine specimen of man
hood and one of the leading physicians
OF the Lake City, when he commenced
experimenting with the drug, using him.
self, his wife and his children as subjects
for his experiments. In a very short
time he became a mental and physical
wreck, and is now probably incurable
invalid in the Chistian home of this city.
He naturally lost all Of his fiEe practice
in Chicago and became yagrant.
One Of the peculiarities of tie cocaine
habit is that majority Of its victims
have been physicians, which Is at least
partly accounted for by their efforts to
arrive at o thorough understanding of
the action and effects Of the drugs.
The most noted patient bes de- Dr.
Bradley among the Bellevue cocaine vic.
tins Of the past year was welI.known
physician Of this city who was treated
last summer. This gentleman is about
forty years Of age, Is a graduate of the
New York Medical College and Il few
years ago was considered one Of the
brightest members Of the medical staff
Of Bellevue Hospital. His practice was
large and among the best people of this
city and his family is prominent IN the
city. lie, like DR.. Bradley, beeaa ex-
perimenting on himself and became a
victim Of the drug, but discovered his
danger before he had lost his reason and
voluntarily yentered the hospital for treat
ment. lie 5nly remained eight or nine
days. however, and left apparently con-
vince ! that he was safe, but his friends
fear he did not remain long enough. In
another and very sad phase this New
York physician follows DR.. Bradley's
experience, for he, too, experimental on
his wife, and the husband had scarcely
left the hospital before his wife entered

~ WORDS OF WISDOM.

We cannot expect perfection in any
one, but we may demand consistency or
every one.
Think not thy own shadow longer
than that OF Others, nor delight to take
the altitude Of thyself.
Wickedness may prosper for a while;
but, in the long run, he who sets all
knaves at work viii pay them.
Friendship improves happiness and
abates misery by the doubling Of our JOY
and the dividing Of our griefs.
Fl The wise prove, and the foolish con.
fess, by their conduct that life OF EN-,
ployment is the only life worth living
Earnestness is the best Gift Of mental
power, and deficiency of heart is the
cause Of many o man never becoming
great.
Certain thoughts are prayers. Ther.
are moments when, whatever be the at
titude of the body, the soul is on its
knees. @
I The nerve that never relayes, the eye
that never blanches, the thought that
never wanders, are the harbingers Of
victory.
More is felt than is perceived, and more
is perceived than can be interpreted, and
love climbs higher with it lambent flame
than artcan pile the fagots. .
DO to-day's duty, fight to-day's temp
tation and do not weaken and distract
yourself by looking forward 10 things
which You cannot see, and could not un.
derstand if you saw them.
II is not good to be angry even with
those who may seem with malicious in.
tent to assail our most cherished beliefs.
A few burning weeds may produce smoke
enough to hide the stars, but the stars
are shining all the same. 1t is net wise
to vex and weary ourselves by angry de-
nunciations of the smoke which will soon
pass off without our labor.
The human mind is so constituted that
whenever it sees an event it is obliged to
infer cause; also when itsees adapta-
tion, it infers design. 1t is7iot necessary
to know the end proposed, or who were
the agents. We do not know who built
Stonehenge, or some of the pyramids,
or what they were built for; but no ore
doubts that they were the result of
design. Il

New Phase Of, of,DrHnkenness.

The Jamaica ginger drunkard is new
form of intoxication. In the sparssly
settled regions of the South liquor IS sold,
if at all, in the general stores,n and
these will not take the risk of losing their
general trade by selling liquors surrep-
titiouslywhen public sentiment has de-
clarcd in favor Of prohibition. But they
can sell Jamaica ginger, and the thirsty
topper can become fairly drunk on half
pint bottle Of this mixture Of alcohol and
essence Of ginger. In view Of the use Of
Jamaica ginger as an intoxicating bev-
erage, the town officers of Dawsonyille,
Ca, have passed an ordinance prohibit
ing the sale Of that tipple within the
town limits.

1t seems as il every farmer could make
sheep profitable. 1t is not q difficult
thing 10 do TO make a sheep yield an in

lamb, fit to turn away in July, or before,

eight pounds Of unwashed wool, Of me.
dium or coarse grade, will surely bring

This is the amount Of capital required in
the sheep. TO this must be added the use
of land Tor pasture and to cut hay from
for the winter. The pasture for a small
flock of sheep is an item of little cost, as
they can Tun in the early spring on tie
land designed for corn, and If they do eat
this down close they will make it richer.
After the corn ground is no longer avail.
able, the buckwheat lot aud the fa!low
land can be utilized for pastuFing the
sheep. Some good farmers may saV this
is pinching the sheep too closely, aud the
lambs will not do we'll.
1t must beremembered that sheep like
short and sweet bite, so that close
pasture is not amiss. This is not all.
Every flock of sucking ewes and every
lot OF lambs should have grain every day
in regular feeds. Here is u secret our
readers should know. The money to he
made out Of lambs is in rapid and early
growth, and this can be brought aboIt
the cheapest and the best with additional
food, such as they need, and that spe-
cially adapted to make milk and growth.
Every man who owns any land and who
wants to get anything from it can well
afford to buy bran, If he does not have il,
and TO feed it to all young animals and
all sucking ones. He will certainly get
it hack by feeding il plentifully to sheep
and lambs in both growth and in the ma
nure. sheep thus fed will shear double
the amount Of wool that they will con-
fined TO hay and grass. sheep will do
well on clear clover hay before lambing.
and il in fine condition they will do well
fed exclusively on it afterward. but a
little grain, even when fed on this, the
best of hay, will help wonderfully and
pay in the extra growth. Il is folly to
expect any profit in sheep when not lib
orally fed. IL will make half-difference
in the lambs. Any man can figure ont
the difference, allowing two gills day,
Ut full pint for three or more months,
with the results, or no grain with its re.
suits. II must not be forgotten that
sheep can by good feeding be made fac
tors for enriching the farm, ard this is o
grand consideration. - Our. CoUatry

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
i ~, TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Threshing oats by Hand.

Some good farmers are readopting the
old method of threshing their oat crops
with a fail, leaving the work to be done
in winter, and thus furnishing employ
ment to men who would otherwise be
idle. There are some other advantages
in this practice not inc nded in the EN-.
ployment it gives to labor in winter.
The freshly threshcd oat straw is readily
eaten by stock, and there are usually
enough light oats left in it to make it
possibly good feed 1t is better to leave
Light oals in the straw than to put them
in the bin among the threshed grain, for
unless the grain is carefully graded some
of these light oats will 90 in the seed and
help TO detericrate the crop. With hand
threshed oats in cold weather, there has
been NJ danger that vitality of seed has
been impaired by heating. While the
oat is in the sheaf any dampness in the
grain is absorbed by the chat, and as the
head is bulky and porous it dries ont
without injury. Oats threshed by ma.
chine as soon as harvested, and then
dumped, several hundred bushels, per.
haps, in one bin, are pretty sure to heat
1t would be better in such case if the seed
were entirely spoiled instead of having its
vitality impaired. The crop comes up
weak, and If the season is not every way
favorable it is partial failure at the best,
and this makes a larger proportion Of
poor oats for seed the subsequent season.

WHAT SHALL DE DONE with the in
mates of the District Reform School,
if they are not TO be permitted to learn
some useful occupation? If they are
to be condemned to idleness lest the
fruit of their labor may come into
competition with the fruit Of
somebody else's labor then the
name Of the school should he changed.
1t cannot be a Reform" school un-
less its benellciaries are given oppor-
iunity to acquire habits of industry
and the mechanical knowledge that
will fit them to become self
supporting citizens in after life.
Let them learn box-making, basket
making, hat-making-any kind of
trade that they can most conveniently
be taught. Theirs is not convict
labor--it is intelligent free labor; and
is it not far better that they should be
competitors in the market, even to
some individuals disadvantage here
and there, rather than remain unpro-
ductive burdens upon the public
charity? AT the same time it would
be the proper business policy of the
managers of the school to sell what
they have to sell at the highest OBJ
tainable price, instead of undersell.
ing at merely cost prices.
