TEMPERANCE.
CHEERS, BUT NOT INEBRIATEs

Hot Milk Recommended by Physicians
as Stlmulant Cor Tired Patients.
''What folly it is to drink liquor for
stimulation.
This was the observation Of a lead
ing physician this morning.
''Milk heated to much above 100
degrees Fahrenheit loses for a time
degree Of its sweetness and density
No one who, fatigued by over-exer-
ton of body or mind, has ever ex-
perienced the reviving influence of a
tumbler Of this beverage heated as
hot as it can be slipped will willingly
1orego resort to it, because of its
being rendered somewhat less accept
able to the palate. The promptness
with which its cordial influence is felt
Is indeed surprising. Some portion
OF it seems to be digested and appro-
priated almost Immediately, and
many who now fancy they need alco-
holic stimuIants when exhausted by
fatigue will find in this simple draught
IN equivalent that will be abundantly
satisfying and far more enduring in its
effects
-'Ihere is many an ignorant, over
worked woman who fancies that she
could not keep up without her beer;
she mistakes its momentary exhilara-
tion for strength, and applies the whip
instead of nourishment to her poor,
exhausted frame. Any honest. intelli-
gent physician will tell her that
there is more real strength and nour-
ishment in slice Of bread than in a
quart of beer; but if she loves stimu-
lants it would be a very useless piece
of information. 1t is claimed that
some OF the lady clerks in our own city,
and those, too, who are employed in
respectable business houses, are in the
habit Of ordering ale or beer in the
restaurants They probably claim that
they are tired, and no one who sees
their faithful devotion to customers all
day will doubt their assertions. But
they should not mistake beer for
blessing or stimulus for strength. A
careful examination of statistics will
prove that men and women who do not
drink can endure more hardships and

WEAVING COLTS.


A Method Recommended by Some of the
Most Successful Horse-Men
Colts are weaned at from four to six
months. When it IS necessary to use
the mare much, either for farm work
or road purposes, it is better for
both to wean at four months. Wean-
ing, as formerly practiced, was rather
a critical period in tho youngsters,
life, especially when the latter had
neither been halter-broken nor taught
to eat grain, roots, apples or any thing
OF the kind. Before weaving, halter
break the colt, using strong, pliable,
well fitting head halter. 1t should also
be taught to eat while running with
its dam. This can be accomplished in
few days by feeding the mare in a
trough large enough to permit the
colt to get its nose in easily by the side
of that of the dam. 1t is much better
for the dam that the weaving process
be gradual. For two or three days the
colt should be allowed to suck three
times a day, giving less each
time. After that let the colt with the
dam only morning and night, diminish
ing the amount gradually each meal
for few days and at the end of week
let it suck only at night for two or
three days. At the end of this time, if
the mare has been kept on hay without
grain, she will be nearly dry and the
colt can be taken Off Watch the mare
for few days and milk her if neces-
sary. Feed the colt on bright, early
cut hay-rowen is better-and keep a
pail of fresh water within its reach.
Feed oats and wheat bran, beginning
with pint of each night and morning
and increase gradually to one quart OF.
each twice a day. Some prefer to have
the oats bruised that is ground coarse.
If the colt lacks thrift, nothing will
start it quicker than cows milk. That
which has been skinned will cause as
rapid growth as the new milk. 1t is
sometimes desirable to wean colts at
three months or even younger. When
this is the case a cruel made of oat-
meal and wheat middlings, to which a
quart or two of SKINNED milk has been
added, fed twice q day, makes an ex-
cellent ration. By adopting this
method the colt can be kept growing
every day while weaving. -H0rSenaan.

one-ffth as much alcohol as whisky,
SO that drinking a pint of cider is

Eruption of the Skin Cured.
BRoCKv1LLB, ONTARIo, CANADA,

December2, 1885. I /,
I have used BRAEDRETHs PILLS for the
past fifteen years, and think them the best
cathartic and ambitious remedy known. ,
For some five years l suffered with an
eruption of the skin that gave me great
pain and annoyance. 1 tried different blood
remedies, but, although gaining strength,
the itching was unrelieved. l finally con-
cluded to take a thorough course of BRANDT
RETH's PILLS. / took six each night for
four nights, then five, four, three, two, less
ening each time by one, and then for one:
month took one every night, with the hap
oy result that now my skin is perfectly
clear and has been so ever since.

The IadpoIe's Lament.
For the Sentinel.

[All apologies to Bill Nye, Bill
Shakspere, and the rest Of the boys.l
The tadpole lived a very secluded
life down by The mill, in a pond. Not
many visitors had our young hero
But one glorious day when old Sol
added his brilliant refulgence to the
magnificent splendor Of the vernal
season, one lovely spring morning, a
creature of ethereal beauty passed
that way. All art had been exhaust
ed on its toilet. Twas utterly utter,
this dude!
CAV! nawsty old puddle, dawn't
cher knaw!" exclaimed this curled
darling.
:. Aud the tadpole hid its head in
shame to think so excellent creature
as itself had earned the disgust of
the inferior dude.
Il wot that the time is out of joint.
OH cursed spite,-newspaper filings
can't set it right"
And our friend of the genus rama
continued his repinings, "My waist is
more shapely sure than his, nay bust
is not the result of corsets, stays and
pads, and what can exceed this superb
caudal appendage. Faugh! pitiful
aspirant for fattery's fond praises, all
thy qualities matched with mine, are
as moonlight unto sunlight and as
water unto wine" And yet le monde
adores theeI'
The dude had paused; for "like a
rich jewel IN the Ethiop's ear" he es-
cried the exquisite a Ia mode contour
of the tadpoie's person.
"Aw! Nature, why this casting of
the pearls of thy handiwork befaw
swine! Had I but that nawsty cwea-
ture's excellences, how might | Oscar

Alas! for the tadpole, alas! for the

and tadpole was mashed and dude was
splashed!

THE GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH
The Pros and Cons Discussed Before
the p. o. Committee.
~ 7. Stdr1

the r. y. Committee.
~ T. 8tarl
The proceedings before the Senate
not strengthen the case of the advo-
Gates of the postal telegraph. The
figures presented by Dr. Green show
ed that to establish government .ys-
tenn would require an outlay of $780,,
100000, and entail an annual loss of
from s5,O00,O00 to $1O,O00,O00 on the
Treasury. The telegraph is used by
less than one million of people, while
the entire sixty millions of our popula-
tion would be taxed to maintain it.
DIR. Green did not attempt to con-
ceal the fact that while the Western
Union Company was not anxious to
go out of business, it preferred to sell
out to the Government at fair price
rather than compete with the United
States Treasury. He justly said that
the policy Of operating competing
lines at loss and destroying private
corporations without compensation,
was one that the Car of Russia would
not venture to undertake Mr.. Gard
ner G. Hubbard, who spoke in favor
of the scheme, admitted that it would
require $60,000,000 to establish line
like that of the Western Union, and
that the right of way of that company
over the railroads was one of its most
valuable franchises. The general i'm
preston conveyed by these arguments
is that if the advocates of the bill and
the Western Union were left to dis
pose of the matter on basis to be
agreed on between themselves, they
would not be very long in coming to
an arrangement. If the people be-
come convinced that the whole OPERA
ton is mutual plan to proftably un-
load q great burden on the Treasury
very little more will be heard of the
project.
During Fridays hearing nothing
vas said on the subject of the tele.
phone, while it is perfectly plain that
a government telegraph unaccompa-
MED by a telephone system, would be
an absurdly foolish investment. We
want to have all possible light thrown
on this dark subject, and we are con
6dent that candid investigation will
end the lob very speedily.
