Hope For the Drunkard.

self control is lost, all moral sensibni

told millions, reach that depth, never.
theless. Some are too far gone to ever
desire reformation. But to those who
do, a chance is held out if the Russian
physician referred to in the following
paragraph is correct :
A Russian physician named Portuga.
loft declares that strychnine is an infal-
lible cure for drunkenness, administer
cd in simultaneous Injections He as
serts that the experience of physicians
has shown the cure to be as rapid as il
is certain. The effect of the strychnine
solution is to change the craving for
dPnk into positive aversion, and this
change is effected in a day. After a
treatment of eight or ten days the pa
tient may be discharged. The strych-
nine is administered by dissolving one
grain in 200 drops of water, and inject
ing Eve drops Of the solution every
twenty-four hours.-Shreyeport Times.

plantation az enormous gar al killed,

grazing on the canal bank, lost its foot.
ing and slipped into the water, where
it was Immediately pulled under by
some unforeseen force. The engineer
at the machine, who saw the occur
renee, FASTENED to the spot with a har-
pooh, which he plunged into the water
where the bubbles were coming up,
but the weapon bounded back several
times before it st1k.
No sooner was this effected than the
engineer, who had the harpoon line
fastened around his wrist, was jerked
from his feet into the canal and toWed
along it with frightful speed for some
fifty yards. His cries for help were
heard by the foreman, who ran to bill
assistance with a red hot slicing bar he
had Just taken out of the furnace, and
in his efforts to reach the gar he fortu-
nately burned the line in two.
The engineer thus freed struggled to
the bank where he tainted with fright.
BY this time the gar was making for
" Riviere aux Chenes " into which the
canal leads, his ourse being easily as
certained by the swaying handle of the
harpoon. From pain or other causes
he changed his course, and came tear
ing back and ran aground in II shoal
part of the canal. Here he slashed the
water into q foam for an hour or more;
finally a rope with u moose was slipped
around his body, when a yoke of oxen
hauled him on the bank.
He measured IL feet Z inches over all,
his jaws being 81 inches long. -Four of
his teeth were nearly two inches in
length, the others ranging from IL
inches downward. It was estimated
that he weighed over 300 pounds. In
his stomach were found the twoahind
legs of the goat that slipped off the
bank, a small alligator, several fish and
a piece of coral about the size of Il
brickbat. The last circumstance would
seem to indicate that he had come all
the way from the reefs of Florida or
those of some of the islands of the
West Indies.-Plaquemines Protector,

October, November, December, January,

farmers to move south. This allows time to
make the necessary preparations for spring.
The farmer becomes somewhat acclimated

A good crop of sweet potatoes, cow peas,
millet and vegetables may be made the filst
season. Hay can be made in any quantity
and find ready market. netting the farmer
eight dollars per ton upon an average. Cows
can be purchased and milk sold at ten cents
per quart, where p arties are located near a
town.
Butter usually brings from 3 to 40 cents
per p~ound-winter dairying would be a good
business.
Eggs average fifteen cents per doz, Simply
because there are not enough small farmers in
the south.
The winter is just the time to produce eggs.
Car loads should be shipped north in Febru-
airy.

The people of Louisiana are kind aud liospi-

from the north. In no country is life and
