Sick Beats and Dead Beats.

The protective organization instituted
by the Jersey City physicians has re-
solved that its members shall not attend
any person who is in debt to one of the as
ISOLATION. Stimulated by this example the
Jersey City undertakers have formed a
similar protective society and will refuse
services to any one in debt TO any of its
members. 1t looks as though there were
hard times ahead in Jersey City for both
sick beats and dead beats. The Doctor.

Snakes in water. instead Of Boots,

If the water reptiles and parasites were
considerable enough to come to visible
stage of maturity before taking to the
water, the alarm might be timely. But
the mischief is that their unnoticed spawn
goes into the bowels of thousands of drink
ers before the apparent signs of life de-
scribed below begin to give warming.
Nearly every bucket of water drawn
from Captain w. A. Gilleland's well this
morning contained one or more peculiar
kind of snakes. How they got there OF
what they were doing is not known, but is
known that when the first one popped its
head out of the bucket the negro house
girl got in hurry for the first time in her
life.-An11ta (Ga.0 GY1nhic

Nevada County Eruit Sent East.

The fine display of premium dried fruits
which S. N. Stranahan exhibited at the
State Fair; and which won for its owner
several premiums, has been purchased by
w. B. Hsyford, of the Chicago Park
Colony, and was on Saturday shipped to its
destination in the East. The display con-
sisted of twenty boxes of dried fruits and
berries, each box containing twenty pounds,
and neatly covered with pane of glass to
protect it from the dust as we'll as from
pilfering fingers. Each box contained a
distinct variety OF fruit grown on Mr..
Stranahan's ranch. A part of this fruit
will be placed on exhibit at Chicago, and
the rest at Minneapolis, where it will serve
to advertise the resources and productions
of Nevada county.-Nevada City Herald.

Some Advantages of a Fruit-DIet,

"Fruit and fruit-culture, as related to
health, was the subject of an address
by Professor II. W. Parker before the
Iowa State Horticultural society, in
which working among fruit and Living
with it are commended to population
who become bilious on excess of meat.
In temperate zones, the author says,
"the dire experience of almost universal
disease, and the evidence of those who
have freely used fruit, point to this as a
most needful article of diet; and when
we come to the tropics We find that men
must confne themselves mostly to fruit
diet practice that should be largely
followed in our long, hot summers; yes,
with our present habits of unwhole-
some living, especially in respect to
confined air and cooking, must be OBJ
served in winter as well. In the warm
temperate climates there are
enough examples of muscu-
lar, long-lived people who live
on minimum of animal food, such as
those of the Grecian Archipelago, who
subsist on goats milk, figs, and maize
bread. Individual examples are to the
same effect. DR.. Winship began as an
invalid, and by athletics and diet at
tanned such vigor that he could lift
twelve hundred pounds. He INDUCED,
we are told. occasionally in sardines,
and for the rest depended on fruit and

recovery of health in grape cures shows
what may be sought in that direction ;
the peach cure has lately come into no.
tice, and doubtless any ripe, fresh,
juicy fruit, if lot of a kind too astrin-
gent or laxative in certain cases, would
do as well. can testify that a quart or
two Of straw berries, twice or thrice a
day, soon recovered me from torpidity
of the liver and consequent constipation,
increasing for year or two; and yet
this is spoken of as not Of an aperient
sort. Since then my only medicine is
fruit the year round. "-LPopular Sci

WHERE BANK NOTES ARE MADE
1t is Not Easy to Steal Any on Ac-
count of the Watch that is Kept.

The recent arrest of two boys for
stealing elevated railroad tickets from
the Hamilton Bank Note Company, af-
ter they had been ordered to destroy
them, was a surprise to the customers
of bank note companies everywhere, as
we'll as TO the officials. 1t was the first
time in years that Il theft by employees
of bank note company had been made
public, and if the officials of these con-
Germs can be believed, it was the first
time that any such theft had occurred.
The President of bank note COM
pany in this city recently said to the
writer that it was absolutely impossible
for any of his subordinates to steal any
thing without being detected at once.
Every imaginable safeguard is used to
prevent the cOmpany's suffering through
the dishonesty of its employees. In
printing bank notes or stamps, or bonds,
or tickets, the paper to be used is care
fully measured before hand by one of
the higher officials Only enough to
make the number ordered is given to the
workmen, and they are held responsible
for it thereafter If single stamp or
ticket is lost the doors are locked and
nobody is allowed to leave the workshop
until it is found or satisfactorily account
ed for.
With banknotes and bonds extra pre-
cautions are taken, and they are count
ed after going through each process. If
a mistake occurs all have to be done
over, and the first batch is destroyed.
If one is lost and cannot be recovered all
are destroyed, and a new series printed
in entirely different colors.
An instance of this kind occurred sew
eral years ago. A bank note company
in this city printed some bonds on con
tract for the Virginia Government. One
package was stolen while they were be-
ing transported to the treasurer. OF
course, none OF them had been signed,
and they were, therefore, not valid; but
all the rest were at once destroyed, and
a new set in different colors were or
dered.
Each official in q bank note company
serves as q check upon the other until
the President is reached. He is practi-
cally unchecked. All men are liable to
be other than they seem, and even the
highest have been known to fall, but SO
far no instance is on record in this coun-
try where the President of bank note
company became a defaulter.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.


It is fortunate circumstance, says
Vick's Magazine, that plant will en-
durc scaldiug heat that is fatal to
most Of its minute enemies. Water
heated to the boiling point, poured CO.
piously over the stem Of an enfeebled
peach tree, and allowed to stand aboutits
collar, will often have the happicst re-
stora,ivc effects. Trees showing every
symptom Of the yellows have often
been rendered Iuxuriantly green and
thrifty again by this simple means,
The heat is presumably too much for
the fungus which had infested
the vital layers Of the tree imi
mcIiatcIy under the outer bark
The London florists recommend hot
water up to 145 degrees F. as a remedy
when plants are sickly, owing to the
soil souriug, the acid, absorbed by the
roots, acting as poison. The usual
resort Is to the troublesome job Of rcpot-
ting. When this is not necessary for
any other reason, it is much simpler to
pour hot water freely through the
stirred soil; it will presently come
through tingcd with brown. After this
thorough washing, if the plants are kept
warm, new root points and new growth
Will soon follow.

Indian Justice.

In the early history of this country,
AppaIachee was for time the dividing
line between the whites and the Chero-
KEGS. There was constant trouble be-
tween the two races that required
friendly adjudication to prevent blood
shed; there was justice on duty named
Tumlin to whom these issues were gen-
orally submitted. He soon got tired of
the frivolous complaints of the Indians,
and concluded that he would have an
Indian Justice and bailiff to settle their
disputes. He accordingly had one ap-
pointed who willingly underto ok to dis
pense justice. Some time afterward
Tumlin met the Indian justice and
wanted to know how he was maintain
ing the dignity of the law; the old In
dian replied that he was doing finely,
but had tried but one case,
"What was your decision?' inquired
Tumlin.
Il sentenced the plaintiff to receive
fifty lashes and the defendant fifty, and
made the bailiff pay the cost"
"Doyou think that was right" asked
the white

trate, mo more cases to try."-TGui

Rearing, Young Bucks and Turkeys.

The difficulties met with in rearing
young ducks and turkeys are chiefly
due to the same excessive feeding. Soft
food is recommended by nearly all the
writers upon poultry rearing, 1t is
quite safe to approximate natural con-
ditious in respect to feeding as closely
as possible. The natural food of the
wild turkeys and ducks are hard -shelled
insects, seeds, a vegetable matter; and
these birds rear full brood5 upon this
diet. A food commonly recommended
for turkey chicks is chopped egg, curd
Of milk, and bread crumbs, with red
pepper. Perhaps the pepper is useful to
help digest the egg and curd, but it is
not otherwise required. For three
seas ons past the writer has reared full
broods Of young turkeys on corn and
buckwhcat coarsely ground and fed dry.
To rear the whole of brood Of
70 on this food without airy difficulty or
ailment at the supposed critical times
suggests the suita biIity of it to the ne
cessities of the young turkeys, and the
dryncss of the food IS doubtless one ex-
ceIlcnt feature Of it. Ducks do not re-
quire soft food, and crushed oats fed in
ashalow dish with water in it meets
their natural requirements and habits
exactly, and is a safe and excellent food.
When aay young bird appears stupid,
sits down and sways its head sidewise,
with haIf-closed eyes, it is suffering
from overlooking, and this is the way
in which nearly all of the lost ones die.

How Many Meals for the Cow

1t may seem a small matter to dis
cuss, whether dairy herd sh Guild be
fed twice or three times day, yet if
twice is enough, as many believe, it is
not so very small a matter We haveno
doubt that instances could be cited on
either side, which, taken alone, would
seem to settle the question. If a cow is
under-fed in two meals, or if her two
meals are devoid of proper nourish-
ment, even if full in quantity, the ad-
dition Of a third feeding might increase
her flow of milk or add to her weight of
flesh. There is no doubt, whatever, that
COWS may be fed we'll, so they will do
about all they are capable of doing
by either two or three meals per day.
We have practiced both systems and
can hardly say that there is very much
difference as far as the COW is concerned.
She can take her food in TWO meals or
in three according to the convenience
of the feeder and will do we'll either
way if the food IS sufficient in quantity
and quality. But we have found it
convenience to have our stock accus-
toned to the two-meal system. 1t is
specially convenient in the winter sea
son, when the days are short, and the
cattle are taking but little exercise. In
very cold barn, possibly, cattle
might need to be eating most of the
time to get food enough to
keep warm, but dairymen have no use
for cold barns for their COWS. Our
stables should be so warm that no ex-
cessive amount of hay and grain will be
required for maintaining animal heat.
Two feelings per day give the farmer
the whole Of the middle of the day for
such employment as he may choose. He
can go to the woods and stay till the
sun gets low, or he can drive few
miles to attend the grange, or visit
friends, without feeling that he is neg
lecting his cattle.
The cow has very different stomach
from that Of the horse. 1t is made to
hold a large quantity of coarse, partially
masticated food that can be remastica-
ted at leisure. For about twenty years
we have been feeding cattle but two full
meals per day winter or summer, when
confined to the barn, and we are fully
satisfied that two meals for average
dairy stock are fully as acceptable to
the COW and fully as profitable to the
owner as three meals. We are also
Satisfied that when cattle are fed late
in the morning, as most are in the
winter season, two meals are better
than three. A COW that finishes he1
breakfast at eight O clock has no very
sharp appetite for dinner in four hours.
and in many cases the noon meal il
more of a disturberof remastication and
digestion than a benefit to the animal.
We were surprised to see how quickly
COWS would adapt themselves to the
two-meal system, and would lie and
chew the cud at noon when per
sons were about the premises. They
LIT only learned not to expect feeding,
but soon learned not to care for it.
1t must be remem bered, however.

100 Doses One Dollar
A Nan Adopted by Rabbits.

There is an old man out in Mound
Valley, New, local paper says, who
has been adopted by a lot Of jack rab
bits. Their friendliness and good feel
ing have become 50 Obtrusive that the
old fellow would be thankful if some
thing would happen to ALLEVIATE their af-
fectiOns. He is q sort of hermit, living
all alone on his ranch, where he devotes
oil his time to cattle and horse raising.
AS he doesn't try to raise vegetables the
rabbits could do him no harm, and 50 he
has never tried to drive them away.
They soon became very tame, and, as
to jack rabbit is rather an affectiOnate
animal anyway, they kept making moro
advances and trials of friendship until
they and the old man became quite
sOciable. When he goes out after his
COWS two or three dozen rabbits will
come trOoping along after him, leaping
around him, running between his legs,
and nibbling his fingers. Very often
cabin and cut up all sorts of pranks in
front of his door, leap on his bed, jump
into his chair-if he is not occupying
the only one himself-and nose around

of tricks, such as jumping over bar or
through a ring, walking on their hind
legs, and jumbing over one another like
leap frog. But the rabbits have de
veloped such q liking for civilization
that they are about to take possession of
his house, and have even begun to rear
their bro0ds in it, 50 that the old man
hardly knows now whether he owns the
house or simply lives there with the
