What Breaks Down Young Men.

1t is commonly received notion that
hard study is the unhealthy element of
oollege-life; but from tables of the NOR
tality of Harvard University, collected by
Prof. Pierce from the last triennial cata-
logue, it is clearly demonstrated that the
excess of deaths for the first ten gears
after graduating is found in that portion
of the class Of Inferior scholarship. Every
one who has seen the curriculum knows
where Eschylus and political economy
ipiure one, late hours and rum punches
use up a dozen, and their two little fin
gers are heavier than the loins of Euclid.
Dissipation is q sure destroyer, and every
young man who follows it is as the early
flower exposed to untimely frost. Those
who have been inveigled into the path OF
vice are named Legion. A few hours sleep
each night, high living and plenty OF
"smashes," make war upon every function
OF the body. The brains, the heart, the
lungs, the liver, the spine, the bones, the
flesh; every part and faculty, are over.

ergy of passion loosened from restraint

Decay at the Gore.

Divorce In the South has been rare.
ln South Carolina, it is said, not a decree
for divorce was ever made up TO the time
of the civil war. Public sentiment put
Its veto upon any attempt at severing the
matrimonial tie except upon Bible ground.
Even then re-marriage of either party
was discounteuanced. Even among the
lliiterate class there was aversion to "mar-
rying a man who had living wife, as
the phrase was. The appearance of a
person who had been divorced, in good
society evoked criticism. The satten-
tions" OF divorced man were often con-
sidered an insult by wellbred maidens.
The Southern people cannot "get used
to" the civilization reported of in other
States. A neighborhood where there is
we'll nigh an annual swap around in wives
seems to the Virginian sort of suburban
To thoughtful and patriotic citizens the
growth of this corrupting practice is the
precursor of national gangrene. Rome
honored the wife and scorned divorce
when it was healthy in it's fibre and noble
in its history. For five hundred years a
divorce was unknown. The dishonor oi
the home swung the Republic from it's
great orbit.
This cancer of divorce calls for the
prime cautery. The Southern States
must come to the rescue of these besotted
cor nmunities. The plague must be stayed
The nation is rotting at the core.-Rich

Peach Stones for Fnel.

1t has been demonstrated in Vaca Val
ley tha: peach stones will make as good a
fire for household purposes as the best
kind of coal in the market. The fruit
growers, instead of, as heretofore, throw
ing the pits away, dispose of the stones at
the present time at the rate of Sc ton.
A sack of the stones will weigh about
eighty pounds, and will last as long as an
equal number of coal, and give a greater
intensity of heat. AT many of the or
chards in the valley may be seen great
stacks of peach and apricot stones. which
will eventually find their way to San
Francisco and other places to be sold for
feel. The apricot stone does not burn as
readily as the peach, and will not com
mand as good price. The fruitraisers
will undoubtedly be pleased to learn that
they now have another source of revenue
open to them. A large number of peaches
are dried during the season for shipment
AS soon as the owners find they have q
marke: for the stones, a greater number o.
pounds will be dried. s

Wonders of the Sea.

The sea occupies tbree-iflhs of the
earth's surface.
A mile down the water has the pressure
of ton TO the square inch.
1t has been proven that at depth OF
8, 500 feet waves are not felt.
At some places the force of the sea dash
ing upon the rocks on the shore il said to.
be seventeen tons to the square yard.
TIE temperature is the same, vary ing
only trifle from the ice Of the pole to the
burning sun OF the equator.
The water is colder at. the bottom than at
the surface. In the many bays on the
coast of Norway the water often freeze at
the bottom before it does above.
If box six feet deep were filed with
sea water and the water allowed to evapo
rate in the suS, there would be two inches
of salt left at the bottom. Taking the
average depth of the ocean TO be three
miles, there would be layer of pure salt
230 feet thick on the Atlantic.
Waves are very deceptive, to lock at
whole water travelled. The water stays in
the same place, but the motion goes on
Sometimes in storms these waves are
forty feet high and travel fifty miles an
hour-more than twice as fast as the swift
est steamer. The distance from valley to
valley is generally fifteen times its height
hence, wave five feet. high will extend
over seventy-five feet of water.-Pitts

REINDEER's M1LK.-A lecturer who
spent last summer in the Gland of the
Midnight Sun" tells US that the milk OF
the reindeer is "as thick as molasses in
January" and the Lapp dilutes it with
two or three times its measure of water
before using it. The reindeer, though the
gentlest and most docile of animals,
stoutly resists parting with her milk, and
it requires three persons-two men and q
woman-to wrest from the reindeer her
great treasure. The creature is lassoed
and held firmly, while the process of
milking goes on. Twice week the ami
mails are fastened within an inclosure, and
their milk taken from them.

Awful Wreck of Young Mans Mind
Caused by Counting Sheen.

"What's the matter with your friend ?''
asked a reporter of a young man with
broad white hat, corduroy trousers, and
woolen shirt, who was trying TO induce
his companion, similarly clad to move on.
"He's got the sheep jiggers."
"Fhe sheep liggers What's that?"
demanded the questiouer
Why, ye see, in our business we have TO
count our sheep twice day-mornin' and
night. Joe, here-Sheepherde Joe, he's
called up in the Pine Greek country-he's
been tendin' bunch nigh on to 5000
| sheep, and it has purity near druv him
clean daft eountin of 'em so mucb.
"He scarcely gets time tor' anything
else. Very often sheepherder gets off
his cabasar on this account, and that's why
we call it the sheep jiggeFs.
"Jist ye watch him a minute. Ye see,
he's got ten little pebbles or jiggers in his
right hand. Now he'll count from one up
to hundred, and then he'll pass one of
them jiggers into his left hand, When he
gifts all of the jiggers into his left hand
that will make 1000, and he'll cut notch
in the rim of his hat or his boot heel.
"Didn't ye never notice the notches cut
in the rim of sheep buckaroo's hat ? That
is what it means.
"W hen Joe gifts thousand counted he
counts another thousand and passes the
| Ijiggers back into his right hand, and keeps
on back and forth all day if we let him.
Here the young man took off his hat, cut
neat notch in the brim with his jack
knife, put it back on his head and reumed
counting.
"Poor Joe !" said his companion. "We
broughtea him down here thinkin' the life
and hustle of the city might help him, but
it's no use. He j,st stands like ye see him
all day long and counts people for sheep,
Just the same as If he was on the Madaline

tell how much it came to. Everything
looked like sheep. The beans looked like

"The tin cups and the fryin' pan looked

Rheumatism Cured by Celery.

Numerous cures of rheumatism by the
use of celery have recently been an.
nounced in English papers; but the fol-
lowing, more in detail, is given on the
authority OF the n. B. Times: ''New dis
coveries-or what claim to be discoveries
-of the healing virtues of plants are con
tinually being made. One of the latest is
that celery is cure for rheumatism; in
deed, it is asserted that the disease is i'm.
possible if the vegetable be cooked and
freely eaten. The fact that it is always
put on the table raw prevents its thera-
putic powers from being known. The
celery should be cut into bits, boiled in
water until soft, and the water drank by
the patient. Put new milk, with q little
Hour and nutmeg, into q saucepan with
the boiled celery, serve it warm with
pieces of toast, eat it with potatoes and
the painful ailment will soon yield. Such
is the declaration OF a physician who has
again and again tried the experiment, and
with uniform success. He adds that cold
or damp never produces, but simply de.
velops the disease, of which acid blood il
the primary and sustaining cause, and
that while the blood is alkaline there car
be neither rheumatism nor gout. English
statistics show that in one year (1s76) 2,
$40 persons died ofrheumatism, and every
case, it is claimed. might have been cured
or prevented by adoption of the remedy
mentioned. At least two-thirds of the
cases named heart disease are ascribed to
rheumatism and it's agonizing ally, gout
Smallpox, SO much dreaded, is not half SC
destructive as rheumatism, which, it ii
maintained by many physicians, can bt
prevented by obeying natures laws il
diet. But if you have incurred it, boiled
celery is pronounced unhesitatingly to bs

how to cook it. With q hundred years

as cheap substitute for wheat, rye and

A home with wife and children blest.
