The Lessons of ''Unser Fritz Case

The greatest doctors in Europe don't
seem to know what ails "Unser Fritz.
Thus are the Garfield and Grant cpl
sodes repeated, and public confidence in
ssexpert" medical knowledge is again
shaken.
The effect is a revulSion.
Since the fatal days of 1888, many of
the doctrines of the schoolmen concern
ing extensive medication have been aban-
doned. and all schools of practice are
more and more relying upon old fashion
ed simple root and herb preparations and
careful nursing,-the only reliances
known to our ancestors.
These methods and reliances are illus
trated to-day in series of old-fashioned
roots and herbs preparations recently
given to the world by the wel-known
proprietors of Warmers safe cure-prep-
arations made from formu@ possessed
by many of our oldest families, and res
cued for popular use, and issued under
the happy designation of Warmers Log
Cabin Remedies.

While Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla
is an excellent remedy for all seasons of
the year, it is particularly valuable in the
spring, when the system is full of slug

tutional tonic and invigorator to resist
colds and pneumonia, and the effects of a

A Bear Defies A Train.

There are good many bear stories
going the rounds nowadays, but we
have one which actually occurred IN
this parish recently. On a small
plantation a mile or two above Bayou
Goula a black bear was seen to have
entered a turnip patch and at once
proceeded to help himself. 1t is said
that a colored man witnessed the
unauthorized levity of Mr.. Bruin and
determined that he would enter the
patch and drive the invader out.
Acting on the impulse he entered
the enclosure and started in Bruins
| direction AS soon as the mans
presence became known to the bear
| he discontinued his vegetable repast
with the evident intention of embel-
| fishing it with meat, and with ears
thrown back and head erect he start
ed towards the son of Ham with the
apparent intention of testing the
qualities of his makeup. The dar-
kew saw him coming and at once de-
cided he did not wish to drive his
bear-ship from the field, and rather
than attempt it he would leave the
field himself So he graciously turn
ed his face in the opposite direction
and made for the railroad. The bear
appeared to be socially inclined and
willingly followed his visitor, acceI-
Grating his speed as he travelled.
Sambo initiated him and quickened
his speed. And thus they had it fol
some time straight up the railroad
Suddenly the colored man heard 8
rumbling noise down the track ano
knew at once that the night express
train was coming. When the train
came in sight, the colored man jump
ed from the track and continued hls
wild flight on the side of it. The
bear also heard the noise, and look

Disorder of Cows.
AS the season of calving approach

AS the season of calving approach
es some careful study should be given
to two prevalent and troublesome dis
orders of COWS, viz, milk fever and
parget. The first of these attacks
COWS that are in good condition, sud-
denly and often fatally, within two
or three days after the calf appears.
The COW is found down in her stall,
helpless, and sometimes frenzied by
the acute congestion of the brain.
The causes of the disease are imma-
terial, the point to be considered is
how it can be prevented. There is a
emption. which is to feed the COW
lightly and withhold grain food alto
oether for six weeks or a month be-
fore calving, and when this period
apprOaches to remove the COW from
the stable to a separate, roomy stall,
apart by herself, where she is kept in
ouietude until completely recovered
from the change in her condition,
which is when the milk has come to
its normal character and is fit for use
in the dairy. The other disorder
garget, is so closely allied to the milk
fever that the same means of proven
ton are equally effective for it, but il
an attack should occur from any IN
ayoidable cause it is quickly overcome
by the copious use of hot waite
lamentations, and the application o
camphorated soap liniment with mucl
gentle rubbing. But excessive gran
feeding is to be carefully avoided.

Temperance.
The Saloons of New York City

The New York Mail and EGpress
says: Liquor is now sold by Ii
cense at 5000 places in this city
hotels, saloons, stores, etc. There
is, therefore, for 100 persons one
liquor shop. If about half the 100
are children and the other half wom-
en- we have the men for whom there
is always ready one bar or counter
reduced to a comparatively small
figure. For every group of forty
eight men resident in the city and
part of the permanent population
there is kept open one place at which
they can purchase alcoholic bever-
ages. If we add the movable or
travelling public which, perhaps, con-
sumes the most of what is sold at
the hotels, we may enlarge the group
and put it at one bar or counter for
every sixty men. That is to say,
one liquor dealer is living upon sixty
men in the city. AS the liquor deal
er not only lives, but always gets
rich, we may say that one liquor
dealer is making a fortune out of
every sixty men. He is supporting
| himself, and, if he keeps a saloon, is
supporting his barkeepers and other
attendants out of sixty men-and
| filing up a handsome bank account
and attaining the personal impor
lance that will make him an alder
man one of these days, to say moth
ing of the money that he has to spend
in keeping public officials in pay
There is something very strang'
about this devotion of every groul
of sixty men in the city to one rum
seller and the regularity with which
they pass over to him enough o
their earnings to enable him to d'
so much. How large part of thei
earnings do they give him? Wha
is the average sum that a rumselle
needs in year? If he takes in, il
one year, $4,000 and Is per cent. /
profit, he is doing very moderately
! vet if he takes only so much ever
one of the sixty men must contrib
4 ute 500. Can it be possible tha
the sixty men who support each dea
er average so large an expenditure
1t seems hard to believe, yet ho
can the liquor man live on less? "
if he only gets that much the tot'
: that the whole people of this Cit
pay annually for their liquor bill
n S48, 100000. We are a generor
people to pay so much for what
0 majority of those who use it do NJ
d need" Of course many Of the'
sixty men do not drink at all, col
sequently the others must averas
more than 800.

Up to the year 1886, thirty-one out
of the sixty became well-known
drunkards, seventeen became hard
drinkers, thirteen moderate drink
ers, thirty-seven have failed in bus
mess. thirteen have died drunkards,
four left the business through con-
scientious scruples, two have become

Mosa ON Emit Treas.

Moss is found most often on pear trees
not in a vigorous growing condition or in
moist, shady places. The moss is a sort of
fungus growth, which is easily kept off by
washing the trees with strong soap suds.
This treatment promotes the growth of a
smooth and healthy bark. If the trees are
badly mossed over now, it will be best to
take an hoe and scrape off the thickest of
the moss before washing the trees, and
then wash them two or three times during
the next two months. In the fall, after
the leayes are off, spray the whole tree
with the soap suds, repeating this again
early in the spring; there is nothing like IL
to promote clean and thrifty-looking bark.
At Elm Fruit Farm we make borer wash
or our peach and other trees, and It also
answers the double purpose of keeping ou
the borer and keeping the bark clean ant
healthy. This wash is prepared by addin.
quarts of strong soft soap, half a pint O
crude carbolic acid, two ounces of Par
green, with lime enough TO make thil
paste that will adhere TO the tree. If con
venient, little clay or fresh COW dung ma
be added TO assist in making the wasI
stick. Apply lit withsA swab or brusl
about the base of the tree and in tn
crotches of the main brIan ches. vsqII

Home Made Fertllizer,

An Ohio farmer, writing to the National
Stockman, tells how his poulty increased
his wheat yield five to ten bushels per
acre.
In the fall after corn is put in shock,
when the ground is dry, gather three OF
four loads of the richest and finest soil to
be found in the corn field and put it under
cover to be used in the winter. Once a
week the droppings are gathered from the
poultry house and pnt in a dry place,
where they are covered with about half as
much dirt as there is droppings. This
dries them out and prevents the escape OF
ammonia. This is turned over few
times during the summer to thoroughly
mix and dry. Then it is sifte1 to take out
any feathers or straws that might choke
the drill. Now 1t is ready for use and car
be put in with any drill that has phos
phate attachment, as well as any of the
commercial fertilizers, and will give as
good results in both wheat and grass, with
only about one-fourth the expense. About
one barrel per acre is what seems TO give
the best results at my place. My little boy
ten years old, sifts six barrels a day and
has some time to play. have tried the
above for several yeais and l think il
pays me well for the feed the poultry
consume.

Prudence! Prudence !

cream to rise through such medium, and
the sooner such milk "goes out" the better.
