LOVE AND RuTABAGAs.

whispered Reginald, as he stood in the
semi-darlxness of the hallway, while
Mabel's nut-brown curls nestled close
against his chest protector.
Twas critical moment The night
stick Of the policeman fell with duh
and sickening thud on the sidewalk
half a block away, and the love plant
OF a sad-eyod cat on the back fence
broke the dreamy quiet of the night.
But these sounds fell upon unheeding
ears. These two ardent souls were
aware that the parting hour was at
hand Soon, oh, cruel fate, Mabel
knew that the front door must ope and
close, and for brief space the echo of
footsteps would linger on the air and
then--oh, misery he would b. gone
and nothing remain but the memory of
his loving words and the scent Of his
cigarette-laden BREATH And so she
clasped him close with her frail
hands and twined the oud Of
his long, newly-waxed mustache
around the index finger of her right
hand. Then, with the heroism OF des-
peration, she tore herself from his
manly and well-developed arms, and,
while her egg-like chin quivercd and
the glorious light of her hazel eyes
was drowned in tears she stammered:
why must you leave me, darling?
|. It's only 1870. Mamma has gone TO

Reg listened with his hand over his
heart to stay It's wild beating, and
peculiar sound like the grating of
horseradish or the filing of saw fell
upon his ardent car. Twas true. His
prospective father-in-law had invaded
the delectable land of Nod at least
mile, and the hope of another half
hour on tete-a-tete awakened burn
ing ardor in his love-stricken heart.
but then, oh baleful fatel he remem-
bered that Farmer Jones was to deliver
forty barrels of rutabaga turnips at
the grocery st Ave o'clock in the
morning, and that he wo1la have IN
be there TO stow them safe away in the
cellar of tho grocery.
While this hideous rutabaga specter
confronted him Reg was feeling in his
vest pocket to see if he had lucifer
match with which to ignite the half
burned cigar which he had left snugly
stored away in corner of the brown
stone steps when he came in. While love
and delight called him one way, sc5

The sink-dran was thirty feet long, with

thick was laid in the bottom Of the ditch,

slate and all cemented tight. A two-inch
iron pipe led from the sink down into the

The MORPHINE HABIT.

How to stop tile Growth of This Terrible
Feminine Vice.
A physician Of this city states in an
interview that tho opium habit is grow
ing TO alarming proportions in this city
mot the use OF the raw article, but its
consumption in more agreeable forms,
such as morphine pills, injections, etc
He AYERS that it is no uncommon thing
for family physicians to fad many pa
tients slaves to the habit, and their
arms and sometimes entire bodies COW
cred with scars made by the injections
When their physicians discover the
result and forbid the future use Of the
drug he says they not infrequently
change doctors and lie in order to OBJ
tain medical permission to continue
their course. 1t is not unusual,
according to him, for them to
go to strange physician and
represent themselves as from
the country and in sore need Of relief
by means of opium in some form.
Under these circumstances, the relator
says. he always insists on seeing their
arms. In nine OF such cases out Of ten
he finds evidences Of hypodermic in.
jectionss and refuses their requests.
He claims that the habit is taking such
hold upon the people that it can only
be checked BY the combined efforts Of
physicians and LEGISLATORS, and that
unless it is firmly taken in hand it will
work as much ruin as does liquor.
IL seems that women are more ad.
dicted to this debasing habit than men,
for several reasons. To start with,
men have other stinlulants, such as
liquor and tobacco, and again women
can obtain morphine more secretly than
they can liquor, and consume il without
showing so much OF its effects. There
is no need here to dilate upon the hor-
ror which this wretched practice brings
upon its victims. Nothing which sci.
ence or ingenuity has discovered TO the
world reacts so terribly upon those
who abuse this creature brought into
the world for the alienation OF mans
ills II one 1.-THE of what the physician
has averred Is true no time should be
lost by his fellows in cooperating 10

save in cases OF the utmost neces-
sity. When the Legislature meets
there should be a memorial presented
70 that body asking for legislation Of
The strictest sort, which shall punish
With severity any druggist who sells
opium in any OF its forms without a

the direst distress. - Chicago Nail

low it. II is made long enough Tor any hog,
and the width should be regulated by a
false side within, so that no animal can
turn over when once In IT. Place this over
the hog, or back him into it, and put the
rods shown in place. Directly turn it over
on its top, let the knife do its work and
right the box. The last movement will
place the hog upon its feet, but no running
and no revolving sight need be witnessed
while the bleeding win be perfect. That
the operation may be silent one, it is de-
sirable to first strike a blow upon the VIC
TINS skull directly over the eyes and mid
way of the face.
As in the case of beeyes, this produces a
siupor and death is painless. The blow can
be administered directly by hammer, or a
metal rod or spike can be placed upon Che
skull and then strike one firm blow. The
latter is found to be preferable where
the box shown is used. The pork win be in
no way injured and blood will settle only
where one stroke was received.
