UNDER the corrupt Democratic admin
istration from June, 1885, to April, 1889,
this territory was being robbed. Things
have been changed, however, for the bet
ter. Honesty and ellici' ncy now prevail.
Tie Ross appointees have been kicked
out, and honest men have taken their
places. 1t is claimed for the doughty ex-
governor that he did not know OF the
evil doings of his associates, compadres
and appointees. Be that as it may, the
harm was done. Itmakes very little differ
ence to man who is shot and dangerously
wounded whether the shot fired was
by scoundrel who wanted to kill, or by
some BANKED idiot who did it accidental
ly. The harm is done.

Trained Fishes.

Mr.. William Pair, Of Atlanta, Ga. who
OWNS The Pouncc Gle Leon Bathing Pond,
pets fishes. Behind his bathing pond he
has II beautiful lake surrounded by tail
fence aud filled with trained fishes. The
winter is alive with perch, brcam and
carp, but 40 well trained are they that
it is next 10 impossible To catch them
with II hook and line. The water in Tho
pond is blue aud clrnr. When you
reach the rustic seat on the bank il seems
MS If yon are looking upon II large French
plate mirror. After II moment spent in
listening 10 the lonesome song of lazy
bull-frog, chanting melodiously from be-
meath an ovcrlianging bush, you reach
into II box behind you md yet stale
cracker. You pitch il into the water,
and then change comes over the pond
One, two, three, four-n hundred perch
and hrram come darling from the sundy
bottom and congrcgatc about the white
cracker, each waiting for the other 10 ut
tack it first. While they ARE waiting u

and half long, rises lnzily up and sucks
i'll the tempting morscl with II smaclc

of cracker goes in, and small fry gather
about like chickens about II strange look :
ing bug. The king Of the tribe, IL large
Dream, makes dash for the cracker; he
misses it, another aud another trica his

Where one cannot visit gymnasium

riCkI.l. MAKING.

Housckcepcrs should bear in mind al
ways. to select firm, fresh cucumbcrs, or
their pickles will be apt TO he soft. BY
ordering in advance of the time they are
wanted, the best Of cucumhcrs cam he
secured. 1t is we'll to pat up II few ut IL
time Instead Of II quantity, and better 10
make just what will be used.
Mixed pickles do not keep us well as
cucumbcrs, onions, or tomato pickles, and
are so easy to prepare that amateurs
can prepare them.
The receipt for cucumber pickles is MS
follows: "WaSh 100 small cucumbcrs in
cold water, dry them in Il cloth, aud nut
them III butter irkm or an unrlaIc,l
crock. Boil two gallons of water and
add pound and quarter of coarse
kitchen salt; skim until clear and pour it
on the cucumbcrs; let them remain in the
brine three days; drain them in cullen
der. Wash out the vessel and put into
1t sliced raw onion. three green peppers
sliced, tablespoonful of mustard seeds,
tablespoonful cach of whole cloves,
pcppcrcorns, and nllspicc. Now add
the cucumbcrs, and pour over them two
gallons Of boiling cider vinegar. The
spices may he put in cloth bag il de-
sired, and if the pickles ARE preferred to
he brittle add II bit Of alum the size Of
two peas. The cucumbcrs may remain
in the brine for days, but should he

In the sweet pickle line nothing is

Healthy MillIonaires.

There is no doubt about il that nh
successful Wall street men hnvc looked
out for their health from very early
period in the careers, says writer in the
New York lForM. They have regarded
their health and strength ny the only
possible basis for operations in the street
and ms underlying any other qualification
for success in speculation which they
might possess. And the fact that they
have looked ont for their health il up,
parent in their appearance, in their man
ner and in their every movement. Look
ut Russell Sage. lie is man now seventy
four year Of age. lie didn't enter Wall
street until he was fortyfour or forty five /;
indeed, when many men are beginning 10
think of Withdrawing altogether. For
more than quarter Of century he has
lived the busiest aud most active life in
speculative circles that it, is possible 10
imagine, and yet because he has looked
out for his physical well being, has lived
regularly, las drunk little and smoked
not at all, he is to-day as strong and
hearty n specimen Of physical manhood
as it would be possible 10 find at his age,
His brain is just MS active and his pro-
cess Of thought just us uncIoudcd as il
ever was, and he appears and moves with
all the vi2or characteristic of Il man in
The prime Of life. Ills eyes arc bright,
there is Il healthy glow 10 his check, and
he writes his name l0a check with the
same iirnness and probably with the
same reluctance as lc has ever done.

Warmth is very important for the aged
exposure to the chills should be Scr,lpu-
lously avoided. Bronchitis is the mulady
most to he feared, and its attacks are
very easily provoked. Many old people
suffer from more or less cough during the
winter months, and this symptom may re-
cur year after year, and be almost I'M.
needed. AT last, perhaps few minutes
exposure TO u cold wind increases the irri.
tation in the lungs, the cough becomes
worse, and the difficulty of breathing in.
crcascs until sulrocation terminates in
death. To obviatc such risks the skin
should he carefully protected by warm
flannel clothes, the out. door thermometer
should be noticed and winter garments
should always he at hand. In cold
weather the lungs should he protected Ivy
breathing through the nose ~ much ns
possible, and hy wearing light wooden
or silkcn muller over the mouth. The
temperature OF the sitting and bedrooms
is another point which requires attention.
Some old people pride themselves on
never rcquiringa fire in their bedrooms.
II is, however, risky practice to cx-
change temperature of siNty-iivc or
seventy degrees for one fifteen or twenty
degrees lower. AS II general rule, for
persons sixty-iivc Years Of age and up
ward, the temperature of the bedroom
should not he below sixty degrees, and
when there are symptoms OK bronchitis 10
should he raised i've to Ten degrees higher.
Careful cleansing of the skin is tho last
point which needs TO he mentioned in nm
article like the present. Attention 10
cleanliness is decidedly conducive To long
cvity, md we may cong .ntnlntc our.
selves on the general improvement in our
habits in this respect. Frequent washing
with warm water is very advantageous for
old people, i'll whom the skin is only too
apt 10 become hard and dry; and the
benefit will he increased il the nblutions
be succeeded by friction with coarse
flannel or linen gloves, or with n flesh
brush Every part of the skin should
thus he washed and rubbed daily. The
friction removes worn out PARTICLES of
the skin, and the exercise promotes
warmth and cxcitcs perspiration Too
much attention can hardly be paid to the
state of the skin; the comfort OF the
aged is greatly dependent upon the
proper discharge Of its functions.-M eio

"The first impression made by The
smoke OF tobacco is through the blood -
said prominent physician 10 reporter,
'and inasmuch rs the whole volume OF
blood courses through the body in from
three to five seconds, the indications of
its effect arc felt universally in the young
smoker. After n short time, ms the blood
becomes charged with the poisons, the
organic nervous chain and the organs it
supplies arc powerfully impressed. For
the young the habit of smoking causes
impairment of growth and physical pros
tration.
81 do not believe that it is possible that
any man can constantly smoke foul
pipe without being constantly martyr
to dyspcpia. Cigars, if they are good,
produce dyspepsia very quickly, for in
smoking them nicotine is more rapidly
absorbed.
Smoking destroys appetite and cnfcc-
b!es digestion. Consumption does the
same, and one of the most common pres.
ages of consumption is indigestion. For
these reasons l have made it rule for
years past to insist that every consurnp-
tive patient should abandon the pipe and
cigar, and l have found rigid obedience
to this rule worth many u formal pre-.
scription. MAO York Star.
