ORIGIN OF JUNGLE SAM"

Speculation has recently arisen re-
garding the origin of the term Gun
Gle Sam" as applied to the United
States government.
In the war of 1912, between this
country and Great Britain, Ebert
Anderson of New York purchased in
Troy, N. Y, large amount of Pork
for the American army.
1t was inspected by Samuel Wilson,
who was known as "Uncle Sam"
The barrels of pork were marked sc.
A, U. S." the lettering being done
by facetious employee Of Mr.. Wilson.
When asked by a fe,low-workman
the meaning Of the mark [for the let
tiers U. s., for United States, were then
almost entirely new to them), said
che did not know, unless it meant
Ebert Anderson and Uncle SAM"
abiding to Uncle Sam Wilson.
The joke took among the workmen
and passed currently, and "Uncle
Sam" himself being present, was oc-
casionally rallied on the increasing
extent of his possessions. Soon the
incident appeared in print, and the
joke gained favor rapidly, till itpene-
trated and was recognized in every
part of the country, and, says John
Frost, the Boston historian, will no
doubt continue so while the United
States remains nation.
1t is now firmly imbedded in the
Mosaic of our language, like Grippe
canoe" "Log Cabin" and other short
but expressive phrases, which refer
to important events in the history of
the Republic. Both "Tippecanoe"
and LOG Cabin" have taken on re-
ncwed force and vitality since their
adoption by Hon. H. II. Warner, of
SAFE cure lame, In the naming OF two
of his great standard remedies, the
principal one known as Warmers
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. They are
based upon formula so successfully
used by our ancestors in the cure of
the common ailments to which their
arduous labors rendered them liable
in the good old Log Cabin days.
The name of Warmers Safe Cure,
likewise, will be held in high esteem,
as familiar asa household word, while
ii continues to cure the worst forms of
Kidney Disease, which the medical
profession confesses itself unable to- do.

That Broncho Cow.

When l was young, and used TO
roam around gathering watermelons
in the dark of the moon, l used to
think l could milk anybody's COW,
but do not think so now. / do not
milk a COW now unless the sign is
right, and it hasn't been right for a
good many years. The last COW l
tried to milk was a common COW,
born in obscurity-kind of self made
cow. remember her brow was low,
but she wore her tail high and she
was naughty, oh, so naughty. l
made a commonplace remark to her
one that is used in the very best of
society, one that need not have given
offence. said: "So"-and she $50
ed" Then / told her to "histe"-
and she "histed." But thought she
overdid it. She put too much ex-
preston in it.
Just then l heard something crash
through the window of the barn and
fall with a dull sickning thud on the
outside. The neighbors came to see
what it was that caused the noise.
They found that I had done it in get
ting through the window. / asked the
neighbors if the barn was still stand
ing. The said it was. Then / asked
if the COW was injured much. They
said she seemed quite robust. Then
requested them to go in and calm
the COW a little and see if they could
get my plug hat off her horns. I am

will not kick, and 1 feel as though l
could trust him. Then, if he feels as
though he could trust me, it is all

Good Roads.

New Orleans Times. Democrat.
Tennessee is agitating the question
of how to get good country roads. 1t
is a problem not for Tennessee alone,
but for the entire South. There is
not Southern State which has suffi-
cient roads, and hitherto the subj ct
has been altogether neglected. The
people have devoted their energies
to getting more railroads, not ap.
parently seeing that public roads are
equally necessary. AS it now is, it
often costs more to get produce to the
railroad depot than from the depot to
some central market. But aside
from their effect on transportation
rates, good roads have an immediate
effect in the value of farms. This is
well shown in the case of Madison
County, Ala, where lands on turn
pixies are worth from $50 to $50 per
acre, while those on ordinary dirt
roads, which are really no roads at
all, are worth SIG to $50. A good
turnpike thus doubles the value of
land in Alabama, and it will have
much the same effect in other parts
of the South.
The proposition in Tennessee 81
that the convicts be worked on the
highways. There is, however, a de-
cided prejudice against employing
convict labor in any work Of this
kind: and it is probable that some
other solution of the problem will be
needed. Quite number of counties
have passed stringent road laws of
late and, thanks to them, have ma
teIially improved the condition OF
their highways, but they have not
done one-tenth that is needed; and il
is quite evident that the South has
yet to find a way Of construction and
improving roads. No better sugges'
ton has yet been made in this con
nection than the calling of road con
ference, where the subject can be gen
orally discussed, the laws Of various
States compared and system or
ganized that will enable us to i'm
prove our highways. Let us turr
some of our superhuous energy anc
capital, now devoted entirely to thu
) construction of railroads.&c. the build
. ing of turnpikes, which are equal!

Lager Beer.
Scientific American.

Scientific American.
Lager beer, from its name, implies
a beer that has been kept for a certain
period. A year or six months, at
least, is the time given by authorities
as that which should elapse before
such beer is tapped. The German
and Austrian government impose
both fine and Imprisonment for any
infraction of this rule, because of the
deleterious effect Of such drink before
such lager or keeping shall have ex-
pired. There is not any such law
here, and, as everybody knows who
has had the time and inclination to
investigate the subject, many of our
brewers have greatly curtailed this
time of keeping and constantly seek
for expedients and processes for cut
ing it pown still more, so eager is the
market, so uncritical the consumer.
Indeed, the American beer drinker
has little regard for his liver and
kidneys, or he would have stoutly
protested long ago. He takes his
beer unsuspectingly, and without
inquiry, till time comes when, the
liver being affected, or the kidneys,
or both, nature protests, and the
beverage once so pleasing to his
lips is like to so much acid. A
chemist recently investigating this
matter says:
brewers are using materials other
than matted barley, such as corn and
oats, ETC., mixed with barley and
hops, by which they accelerate its
manufacture, making a swedish,
pleasing, heady beverage, but alec
holic, and people using this kind OF
beer in large daily quantities, with
the idea that it is innocuous, has
brought on a marked increase of re-
nal complaints"
This statement was shown to q
medical inspector of the Board Of
Health of this city. He could moi
say if these particular ingredients
were used, but the general charge, ht
said, was undoubtedly true, neither
colored as to the intent of the brew
ers not exaggerated as to the effect Oh
the health of the consumer. The
! Health Department, he said, had mo-
sufficient force to look into this mat
ter just now, so full were its hand.
with the routine of inspection.
fit can be shown that beer is inju
rious to health, the makers can b
held and punished.

Peach Stone Fuel,

1t has been demonstrated in Vaca
Valley that peach stones will make
as good fire for household purposes
as the best kind of coal in the market,
says the Vallejo (Cal,) Chronicle.
The fruit growers, instead of as here
tofore throwing the pits away, dis
pose of the stones at the present time
at the rate of So a ton. A sack Of
the stones will weigh about so pounds
and will last as long as an equal num-
Der of pounds of coal, and give a
greater intensity of heat. AT many
of the orchards in the valley may be
seen great stacks of peach and april
cot stones which will eventually find
their way to San Francisco and other
places to be sold for fuel. The april
cot stones do not burn as readily as
the peach, and will not command as
good a price. The fruit raisers will
undoubtedly be pleased to learn that
they now have another source of rev.
enue open to them. "A large number
Of peaches are dried during the sum.
mer season for shipment. AS soon as
the owners find that they have mar
ket for the stones, a greater number
of pounds will be dried than hereto
