A Young Drunkard.

A case which may direct attention
to the condition of other street gamin
was that of Michael Kapillowski, lad
between seventeen and eighteen years
of age, who died Of delirium tremens
at the Emergency Hospital last week.
Kapillowski was bootblack and was
known by the sobriquet of "Polish
Mike" His mother died years ago
and his father is in the almshouse.
The boy had no home and spent most
of his time, both day and night, in sa-
looms and dives of the worst sort.
When he was taken to the Emergency
Hospital he had been drunk for four
weeks, his long debauch having
brought on epilepsy and afterward de-
lir1um tremcns. AS he had no rcla-
tives able to defray the expenses of the
funeral, his body was taken to the
morgue and will be buried in the pot
ter's field Chicago Inter Ocean.

THE CITY OF THE DEAD.

They do neither plight nor wed
In the city of the dead,
In the city where they sleep away the hours;
But they lie, while DER them range
Winter blight and summer change,
And a hundred happy whisperings of flowers.
No, they neither wed nor plight,
And the day is like the night.
For their vision is of other kind than ours.
They do neither sing nor sigh
In the burgh of by and by,
Where the streets have grasses growing, cool
and long;
But they rest within their bed,
Leaving all their thoughts unsaid,
Deeming silence better far than sob or song.
No, they neither sigh nor sing,
Though the robin be awning,
Though the leaves OF autumn march million
strong.
There is only rest and peace in the city of
sure ease
From the failngs and the wailings meath the
sun;
And the wings OF the swift years
Beat but gently DER the blers,
Making music to the sleepers, every one.
There is only peace and rest;
But to them it seemeth best,
For they lie at ease, and know that life is done.

FASHIONS IN FURS.
The Latest In Sealskin Garments and
Stylish Muffs and Boas.

Stylish Muffs and Boas.
Long, shaggy boas and muffs of
monkey skin will replace the swell lace
boa later on. These furs of monkey
skin will take precedence of the dyed
lynx, which costs just twice as much
and is a far finer fur. But fashions
decree has gone forth and who will
dispute it? In light colors the natural
lynx-a yellowish white fur, with ir-
regular spots of black-will divide the
honors with red fox and 'possum, the
latter a bright yellow, with brown
stripes running through it, Three
ward boas and medium-sized muffs will
be the prevailing shapes worn in these
fancy furs.
Yellow brown otter and tho gray
variety will be the trimming most seen
on cloth suits, long mantle5 and the
directoire coat, the feecy, long-haired
monkey skin being reserved for hand
some black wraps for elderly ladies.
Styles in the high-priced sealskin
garments change but little. The long
Newmarket, with rolling collar, close
sleeves, and fastened to the knee in
front will be fully as fashionable as it
was last year. Elegant ones show a fac
ing of seal down each side of the front,
giving them when thrown open the ap-
clearance of being lined throughout
with that material. Many women find
these long garments too heavy for
walking, and prefer the more moderate
sacque that is anywhere from thirty
four to forty-fve inches in length.
These are fitted as snugly as possible
to the figure, and have a deep rolling
collar that covers the ear-tips when
turned up. The girl that pinched and
struggled to raise $125 for a natty little
eighteen-inch sealslIin jacket last year
may weep and wall. She has good
reason. for, to use commercial
phrase, she is ''short on sealskin. "
Anywhere from six to eight inches
short, and the urbane furrier will
frankly tell her that there is but one
way of supplying the deficit. It's eX-
pensive, but it's sure. Get an entire
new coat Trimming of different fur
to lengthen it is entirely passe, and to
piece it down with sealskin is an i'm
possibility, for the line of joining
will show. One satisfaction remains,
however, if one can not afford to be off
with the "old love and on with the
new" and that is to snip away the ex-
ira two inches in front, evening up the
jacket all around, and convert the bell
shaped sleeve into a tight coat-sleeve
devoid Of even the plainest of cuffs.
No fastenings of any kind are visible
on any of the sealsl1in garments, ele-
giant simplicity being the effect gener-
ally sought after. "a word to the wise
is sufficient" and although prices of
sealskin show no advance upon those
of last season, the timely shopper may
buy to advantage before the frosts
make such purchase seem desirable.

THE CLOUD OF INTEMPERANCE..
Extract from a Recent Sermon by Prof
David Swing,

DaNIu SWING
Very defective still are the times.
but should we compare the roll of
modern great names with the roll of
fame in the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries we should find the manhood
and wOmanhood of our generation to.
be upon a plane far above that trodden
by those who lived three hundred years
ago. The progress of science has not
been greater than the upward climbing
Of the heart.
But upon the sky so much brighter
than that one which bends now in
history there are a few alarming
clouds. Often the fishermen on the.
oceans coast say: Yes, the day is.
fair, but do not like that one cloud.
1t may rise and disappear, but it may
fall and expand into a storm. The
conditions which formed that one cloud
may soon form a hundred miles square
of blacllness and may open up q war Of
elements.
Intemperance is one of these clouds
In vain the schOol-house, the college,
the higher literature and art have,
come to many, for there are tens of
thousands of men educated and in
powers noble, whose inspiration for
good is ruined by this senselcss and
dreadful appetite. Some of the old
poets thought the drinking-cup was
a cup of poetry and eloquence,
but that delusion has died under the
accommodating witnesses of all times.
Each glass of spirituous drink is the
death OF clear and beautiful thought.
The tongue thickens, the words lose
their sharp outline, the eye its flash
under eventhe best of wines.
When God made man He decreed
partnership between temperance and
inspiration and made a cup of water
the emblem of all clear thought 1t is
singular incident that while An
acreon and Horace drank wine heav-
lily they made Helicon send forth only
streams of pure water for their nine
muses. to drink. There were many of
these fountains: Helicon, Pindus, Par
nassus, which could lend inspiration
to the god or the mortal who should
taste their crystal drops. These tabled
springs were located by men who knew
that the wine-cup was an eclipse of the
intellect, a stupor not to be endured
by god. What a wonderful logic was
that which planned Pierian Springs
for all high-born beings, and which
gave Anacreon q fagon of winei
What wisdom still is that by which
our scholars send the nine muses. to
spring of pure water for securing
new aftlatus, and then seek their own
inspiration in a barrel Of whisky.
What is so good for the muses. ought.
to be good for man. All intoxicating
drinks take away that soul which re-
lates man to the Creator. Wine is the
paralysis Of thought

by the oil of vitriol. My friend, when
ever you take your mug Of ale or beer,
remember that it's strength or intox-
icating qualities may be due to the
presence of the Cocculus Indicus, fox
glove, henbane, multum nuX vomica,
and the narcotic power to opium, to-
bacco and grains of paradise. Smack
your lips at the Jingle of lime and pep
per, and exult in the foam of copperas
and lime, but remember that there is
death in the cup; yes, in the beer mug.

FEEDING CORN FODDER.
The Great Value Esta bIished by Years OF
Experiment and Experience.


Some twelve years ago, while put
ting to the test the German theory of
proper nutrient ratios, | noted the
great value of corn fodder when pro-
perly fed, and subsequent years OF ex-
pertinent and experience have empha-
sized the points involved. A ton of
corn fodder may be so fed as to give
the growth and nearly the economic
result of a ton of timothy, when fed
against the timothy fed alone. This
assertion is based upon corn fodder
cut at the right time, nicely cured and
housed before damaged by continuance
in the field. Clover hay and corn fod-
der is the most economic method OF
feeding known to me. Corn fodder and
cottonseed meal, three to five pounds
of the latter, form a continuously grow
ing ration, and, in view Of the manu-
rial value of cottonseed meal, a cheap
one. My usual way of feeding corn
fodder is to so feed it that little is
given daily all winter. A foddering of
corn fodder, then one Of timothy in the
morning. and at night clover and
straw are given. If clover and corn
fodder were the only foods, then alter
nate feeds Of each would be given. The
above ration will keep young stock
growing all winter. For better growth
of course concentrated food is added,
containing cottonseed meal or bran in
moderate quantity.
| secure four-tifths, or eighty to
eighty-fve per cent. of the corn fodder
eaten when managed as stated, without
cutting it, The uneaten portion is used
for bedding, being cut for that purpose.
BY using cutter and crusher | have
had our heavy Western corn fodder all
eaten up clean, even when cut low
down to the ground. The above re-
marks refer to corn fodder. OF course
fodder corn will be better eaten, espe-
cially when not too coarse. If, how
ever. it is to be fed whole, | should
prefer to grow the smaller sorts, as tho
heavy Southern kinds are hard to
handle when fed in box stalls. For
the dents, Sibley's Pride of the North
is q small sort, and bears thick plant
ing. There is no trouble on this score
with the fints. In conclusion, | know
of no more economic method of feeding
the small kinds of fodder corn than its
use whole, and fed in association with
clover hay. This opinion is based on
considerable experience. | perhaps
should say that clover hay furnishes
the albuminoids that corn fodder is de-
ficient in; this timothy does not do. |
could quote fine results Of the use OF
clover hay and corn fodder, with tables
of nutritive ratios used. This judge
to be uncalled for and unnecessary
