The vast majority OF snake stories

creatures to which they professedly
refer. They pass muster. however.

THE OPIUM HABIT.
A Vice That Changes Decent Persons Into
Liars and Thieves.

A Vice That Changes Decent Persons Into
Liars and Thieves.
ut may surprise some people" said
leading druggist to me to-day, Ito
know that it is the practice of re-
spectacle druggists to sell laudanum
and morphine to people whom they
know to be confirmed opium-eaters
But there are two good reasons for
doing so. One is that it would be i'm
possible to keep them from obtaining
these drugs, in some way or other.
Another is that If we were able to
shut of their supply, and should
do so. it would inevitably kill
them. So that every druggist
has few cust.mers who, he
knows, are killing themselves with
opium. and with the very opium he is
selling them. and yet he continues to
sell it to them. He never knows that
they are opium-eaters from their own
admissions. however. These poor
creatures are very sensitive about their
vice. and never confess it. They

which never deceives any one. But
even after they find out that We know
that they are opium-eaters. they never
concede it, in any way. One
way that they betray themselves
is by lying and stealing. For it is
singular thing that. just as insanity
is always accompanied by lewdness. so
the opium habit is invariably accom-
panied by lying and stealing. We
have to wait on these poor people, and
we treat them kindly. but we keep
very close watch on them, and never
let them get out Of sight. for if we do
we are sure to miss some small article
when they are gone. can't say THAT
opium-eaters are becoming any moro
numerous in Chicago. but the reason
may be that other similar vices are to
come extent taking the place Of the
opium habit. Chicago Journal.

Taking care of the tools and i'm
plements is one of the best modes OF
economizing on the farm. The value
of the tools annually deprecated from
lack Of cleaning, Oiling and exposure
to weather, is enormous.
"A mortar. which it is claimed will
stand in all sorts of weather. is made
of one bushel of unslaked lime and
three bushels OF sharp sand, to whic q
is added one pound OF alum mixed with
one pint OF linseed oil. The alum will
counteract the action Of frost on the
mortar.
If food be not given until after the
usual time. the animal is apt to eat too
fast; the material from the previous
meal has been exhausted, and as a re-
suit vitality is lowered. leading to i'm
perfect digestion and assimilation,
while the stores OF the body have been
drawn on to furnish the material neces-
sary to vital action.
The best of us make mistakes. and
what wonder is it that our boys, with
their high spirits and their ignorance
OF the world. blunder and get into
scrapes pretty often? But it is a cause
of rejoicing if either father or mother
can get hold on a young heart which
leads it to them to open its worst re-
cesses to their loving eyes-The

BY far the greater part of poultry
diseases are on the outside and their
names are hen lice and mites and
spiders. The best remedies are buhach
and kerosene. the former to be used on
the fowls and the latter on the perches,
in the nests and in the whitewash.
These two substances give us absolute
control of the insects that infest poul-
try houses, and consequently control
of the so-called diseases resulting from
insects.
Too much corn is used by poultry
men. and not enough wheat. oats,
barley, middlings. bran and green

valuable. owing TO the large percent

Of food is essential to the well-being

found in plain and cheap food Of one
kind or another.
