Every cattle owner in Mexico has his
brand, and these brands are registered
and rigidly adhered to. They are the
proofs of ownership, the titles to the scat
tered herds. When a man sells cattle he
puts on the bill of sale fac-simile of the
brand. Often the seller has what he calls
a selling brand, which he puts on after
his regular brand when he delivers the
cattle sold. Brand after brand goes on
until there are some veterans OF the herds
which have changed hands several times,
with hides like page of hieroglyphics.
Brands are recorded as much as land
deeds, and in some of the states there are
laws which require herd moving out to
be inspected, and the proper change a.
brands to be verified by government Off
cials.-Cor. Globe Democrat.

Coffee Drinking and Blindness.
PED THE HAITIAN UN.
PLEASANT THEORY.

/ am satisfied that defective vision
and blindness will pretty soon be a
prominent characteristic among the
American people, the same as rotten
teeth have been during the last 200
years. make this assertion without
having seen any statistics whatever on
tho subject of blindness. / found out
long ago that cup of coffee leaves q
night-shade on the brain which contin-
ues longer than an eclipse of the sun.
For some time past / have been con-
sulting with different persons in Coun-
Gil Bluffs, who are suffering with fail
ing, and in each instance l ascertained
that the unfortunate was and is regu-
lar coffee drinker. / had long noticed
that the eyes of old coffee drinkers had
dry and shriveled appearance.
Having discovered, some years ago,
that my own eyesight was surely
weakening, ! then ceased to drink cof-
fee as freely as I had used it. But
haYe learned that moderate coffee
drinking is hard thing to manage,
being pretty sure to develop into the
regular habit again with insidious ease,
especially at those times when the ply.
sical system feels itself to be in need of
some elixir.
have no doubt bu. what this weak
ness of the eyes which results from
coffee drinking is due to the sympathy
which the optic nerve has for the nasal
cavity (the latter being continuous with
the membrane of the mouth). The
nasal cavity, with its first pair of brain
nerves, is naturally principal place to
oe affected by any drinking habit.
For instance, to partake of dish of
soup will sometimes cause a persons
breathing TO become thick and decided
ly labored. All of the sensory nerves
are much affected by coffee-drinking-
those gentle and highly refined threads
of sympathetic force which enter large
ly into the sense of smell, taste, sight
and hearing. The entire sympathetic
system is likewise involved Immediate
ly in the coffee-drinking habit. The
brain, again, is intensely affected there
by, because the principal nerves of the
brain branch off from the nasal cavity
Coffee drinking is especially injuri-
GUS when it is resorted to as q backing
for strong food. There are plenty Of
robust persons among us who have
drank coffee pretty freely for a life
time, but who are seemingly uninjured
by it To this fact I reply that ap.
pearances are sometimes deceiving to
unpractlced eyes, and that a vice does
not in all cases show its effects plainly
in the first generation. The free use
of coffee dates back only one genera
tion in this country. But this I will
say, that no person is as stout for thres
hours after he has drank coffee as be
was before.-North American Re

A prominent English woman says
the American women all have high,
shrill, nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twitting they get about this nasal
twang, and yet it is fact caused by
our dry stimulating atmosphere, and
the universal presence of catarrh diff
culties.
But why should so many of our
women have false teethi
That is more of poser to the Eng
lish. 1t is quite impossible to account
for it except on the theory of derang.
ed stomach action caused by imprud-
ence in eating and by want Of regular
exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere pre-
vail and end in cough and consump-
ton, which are promoted by mal-nutri-
ton induced by deranged stomach &C.
tion. The condition is modern one,
one unknown to our ancestors who pre-
vented the cattarb, cold cough and
consumption by abundant and regular
use of what is now known as Warmers
Log Cabin cough and consumption
remedy and Log Cabin sarsaparilla,
two old fashioned standard remedies
handed down from our ancestors, and
now exclusively put forth under the
strongest guarantees of purity and
efficacy by the world-famed makers of
Warmers safe cure. These two reme-
dies plentifnlly used as the fall and
winter seasons advance, together with
an occasional use of Warmers Log
Cabin rose cream, to strengthen and
protect the nasal membranes, give a
positive assurance of freedom, both
from catarrh and those dreadful and if
neglected, inevitable consequences,
pneumonia, lung troubles and con-
sumption, which so generally and fat
ally prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem,
Henry Co., Iowa, served four years in
the late war and contracted a disease
called consumption by the doctors.
He had frequent hemorrhages. After
Warmers Log Cabin cough and con-
sumption remedy, he says, under date
of Jan. 10th, 1888: 81 do not bleed at
the lungs any more, my cough does
not bother me, and do not have any
more smothering SPELLS Warmers
Log Cabin rose cream cured his wife
of catarrh and she is ''sound and WELL"
Of course we do not like to have our
women called nose takers and false
teeth owners, but these conditions can
be readily overcome in the manner in
dicated.

Much Too Formal.

One night John r. Mclean, editor

ed at his desk up to his eyes in busl-

strolled in from the city editors room,

"Well, Mac, how does the news pan

Not in the least disconnected by the
action of his subordinate, who, by the
way, was newcomer on the p per
and hardly known to him, Mr.. Mo.
Lean responded in an apparently pleas
ant way;
"Don't call me Mac, it seems toe
stiff; call me Johnnie
