Hygiene OF old Age.

The teeth in old age are, Of course,
lost, and they should, unless, under
exceptional circumstances be replaced
by artificial teeth, for the thorough
chewing OF food is even more necessary
in the old than in the young, because
in the old the digestive powers are apt
to fail. With the best artificial teeth
mastication is apt to be imperfectly
performed; hence the food Of the aged
should lie soft and readily comminut-
ed, and especially should it be Of easy
digestion. Very few old people need
stimulating diet; very many are injr..,
ed by an excess OF heterogeneous food.
The kidneys, like all other organs, are
feeble, and ii meats and other rich
foods are used in excess, they greatly
increase the strain upon these organs.
Milk and milk products or prepara-
tons Of breadstuffs cooked with milk
shouldform q very large proportion OF
the food OF the ordinary aged indiyid-
ual but Individual pecpliarities differ SO
much that personal medical counsel
should IN all cases be taken so that
the diet may be regulated 50 the
needs of the individual case. Very
many old people are hurt by the use
Of food in excessive quantity; but lit
tie exercise can be taken, all growth
has ceased, and the bodily furnaces
which make heat are able to destroy
but very little of food fuel. Some lit.
tie time since l had occasion TO lecture
on this subject at the Philadelphia
Hospital, and an assertion that /
then made that most old people are
more comfortable, enjoy better health,
and probably live longer for theuse OF
wine, has met with very severe disap-
probation at the hands Of some ofthe
profession, whose strong sympathy
with the temperance movement domi.
Mates their Judgment. No valid rea-
sons have, however, so far as my judg-
ment goes, been brought forward
to Lead me to change my
opinion. In the overfed Amerf
can people the habitual use Of wine
during youthful or middle ags and
vigorous health is, we think, aniniury
rather than a good; but when the
powers of life are failing, when diges
tion is weak, and the muItitudinous
small ills OF feebleness perplex and an
noy, one or two glasses Of generous
wine at dinner aid digestinu, quiet for
the time being much nervous irritation,
and in no way do harm. The sum
total of ruin wrought by alcohol in
the world is appalling. but it IS not
lessened by our shutting our eyes to
the good that wine propSsly used may
achieve. When IN the aged there Is
a distinct failure of vital power, and
especially Of digestive power, the call
for the habitual use Of alcoholic
liquors IS, in my opinion, imperative.
The danger Of the formation Of atty
evil habits when a man has crossed
the line Of seventy IS So slight that the
most conscientious physician need
not hesitate in recommending the
daily aseoi alcoholic beverages To his
patient-Dr. III. @ Wood, ia Annals

Thomas b. Lincoln Dead.

Thomas b. Lincoln, granddaughter
of Gen. Lincoln, of revolutionary
fame, and the only person tried for
treason duringthe late civil war, and
for whom Jesse ID. Wright was ex-
PEELED from the United States for
writing a letter of introduction to
JEFF Davis, died at his farm, not far
from Elkton, Indiana. He was born
in Philadelphia in 1913 and on his
mothers side was descended from the
Rev. William Smith. a distinguished
episcopal minister, a graduate Of the
university Of aberdeen, Scotland,
the FIRST provost of the College Of
Philadelphia, and the founder Of
Washington college, 0hestertown,
Md.
Mr.. Lincoln was extensively ne
qu0inted with the politicians Of the
south and west and a leading menu
Der of the Knights of the Golden Cir
Gle, whose agent he was when arrested
IN Cincinnati irAugust, 1861. He
was tried for treason, but the indict-
ment was quashed on the ground of
nnconstitutionality and he was set
at liberty and allowed to go south.
In April, 1855, he, with the appro-
baton Of confederate Vice-P President
Stephens, went to Washington and
furnished the federal government
with important information, which
was used in Fastening the end of the
confederacy. For this he was APP
pointed to d lucrative position, his
dnties being TO look after ~oon6scated

sons who guaranteed interest on the
bonds Of the Sabine q East Texas
railroad, which WAS destroyed by the
rebels A few years ago the bond
holders obtained judgement amount
ing toahont amiilion dollars against
the guarantors.

Disheartened AISeady.

The Democrats are talking very bravaly,
but there is good reason TO believe that they
have very serious apprehension as 70 the oute
come Of the campaign. A gentleHan who
holds the closest relations to the Democrats
leaders says Of the conference which Mr.. Bar.
mum reluctantly consented to resume his
place as the chairman Of the Democratic ma.
tional COMMITTEES:
Mr.. Barnum was very anxious not to bo
the chairman. This was due not only to hia
age, to his long service ara TO the demands
which BIS pirate busipesa make

campaign upon the issue as presented Hers,
moreover, very apprehensive as to the resuts5a
and it is known 70 some o his intimate friends
that for these among other reasons he doeE
not enter upon the campaign with any heart
lit was found. however, whe@ the COMMITTEES
met here to select their chairman that Cor
man would not accept the place, and that
Scott would not, and the position was, in a
measure, thrown back upon Barnum. Mr.
Barnnm. ] happen to know, enters upon tka
campaigEIp aN very halfhearted nianner,
whR.ay1 " map say In the public prints. He
is feafuf ofn.seGect OF this discussion of the
MDs Bill upon the wage workers ofNew York
Eew Jersey and Connecticut. and he knows
very well that the Democrats mustcarry both
New York and New Jersey fthey are to ene-
ceed in the ~esssction. He himsslf Is as much
Snpose3 TO the policy of the Mills bill and
the free trade plank in the Democratic plat-
form as Mr Randall is; but he yielded to the
wishes Of the other Democratic leaders and
accepted his old place. The fact that the
Democrats have insisted that Mr.. Barnum, y
radical Democratic p~rotectionists, shall con
duct tho campaign upon the free trade
basis is an Illustration OF the extremity Ia
which the Democratic party is reduced. III n
difficult TO see how Mr.. Barnum, holding che
views as to protection which he does, can
successfully conduct such aeampaign.

The breeze which swept so disas.

They charge the saloon-gang influ.
cnce with having forced upon the town
ship bonds to the amount of $4,000 in
payment for bridge probably worth at
the time $1,000, and infer that it was
because the money was going into the
Golfers of a Dodge City man that it
was done. They entirely forget that
the bonds were voted, not simply in
payment for lumber and labor repre-
sented by that bridge, but for the fran
chise which controlled the graded
streets, and approaches leading thereto
as we'll.
They say reliable contractor offer

estimate of cost of opening streets to

of grading approaches and roadway

factory. have not canvassed our pre-.
cinct thoroughly, but those whom 1 in
terviewed were opposed to the scheme.
If the mill had the capacity of consum-
ing the products of 5000 acres, and
we believe that is its capacity, then it
would only allow $50 farmers each, to
plant 80 acres. That fact alone would
bar it from becoming benefit, except
for few. But there is another, and
more weighty reason why we object to
to it, at the Parkinson works at Fl.
Scott they paid but 81 per ton for cane,
with only capacity of 5000 acres of
cane. Such small demand compared
with the supply, would in all probable
ity lower even this price. But admit
ing that it would not, is there a profit
in raising it at that money?
Our nearest point to the mill would
be Dodge City, distance Of seven
miles. It would take the best part of
q day for US to haul the cane to town,
and return. 1t would include the time
of one man and team, avery low es-
innate of the worth of our time, and
that of the teams would be SO, for it
would be in season of the year when
a farmers time is valuable. Added to
this would be the cost of preparing the
ground, cost Of seed, and cost of pre-
pairing the cane for market. Besides
this, cane Is very hard on ground, while
it is true that this soil Is peculiarly ad-
apted to the raising of cane, at the
same time this abundant yield will
make the profits still so small, that we
do not think it would pay. We are of
the opinion that there is more profit in
feeding it, or in, making it into sor
ghum. Hogs will grow. fat upon it.
Many farmers are feeding their hogs
nothing else this winter, and We know
IF one farmer who fattened his hogs so
veil on cane alone, that they we're ready
Tor killing in short time. Cattle and
,orpes win also do we'll on cane alone.
