Prevention of disease is both rational
and scientific. If one knows the causes
of most diseases and can remove that
cause, the diseases must disappear. Prof
VIM. II. Thompson, of the University OF
the city of New York. says: "More
adults are carried off in this country by
chronic kidney disease than by any other
one malady except consumption" The
majority per cent OF all diseases are
caused by unsupported kidney poisoned
blood. The late DR.. Dio Lewis. In speak
ing of Warmers Safe Cure, said over his
signature: IF found myself the victim
of serious kidney trouble, 1 would use

A clerical looking gentleman, in
hopes of obtaining contribution,
entered the Office Of newspaper and
finding the editor at his desk, said.

money, but who is too proud to make

The better element in the commu-
nifty and the mugwumps are largely
to blame for the alleged political de-
pravity of the times. If men who
are, or think they are, better than
the common run of humanity won't
go into caucuses and use their in
fluence for the nomination of good
men, how can they expect good men
to be nominated? You can't put a
package of yeast cakes on the parlor
table and expect it to leaven the
dough in the kitchen. If high mind
cd, princlpaled, thinking men will
not go to the cauouses and to the
polls and otherwise mingle in politics,
but hold themselves at critical dis
tance and simply find fault, they
should not expect politics to improve.
The mugwumps will not go into
either the republican or democratic
caucuses for reasons which they
themselves perhaps can explain; We
can't. They let the wicked practical
politicians run things; and they hud-
die off by themselves in perpetual
state of hypoohondria over the wick
edness Of the times.-Waterbury Re-

The multiplication of military IL
ties has been carried to such an ex.
tent in this country that men of high
nominal rank are found in all pur-
suits and positions, from the highest
to the humblest. Majors are man.
aging railroads, colonels are dong
the duties of hotel clerks, and gen
erals are waiting on restaurant tables.
Men of military titles abound per-
haps the most in the civil service. II
is very poor sort Of an Official that
isn't = major, and one of no great
consequence who is not addressed as
colonel. These things have created
a suspicion of the genulneness of
some of its titles. They have indeed
inspired the hint that possibly in
some instances the titles have been
assumed for purpose. Acting upon
some such hint, the Postmaster Gen
eral has ordered that the majors, COL
onels and generals who are register
ing money orders, asserting mail
matter and distributing letters shall
set out in writing upon what awful
fields they won their titles.-DenYer

The Las Vegas Optic gives the
following brief HISTORY of Billy the
Kid the notorious outlaw that was
killed in New Mexico seven years
ago:
His name was William H. Bonney.
At sixteen he was dubbed The Kid
by his pals in Aesilla, on account of
his diminutlve person, as we'll as his
youth. When only twelve years of
age he stabbed to death . man en-
gagged in a drunken brawl with one
or two others In a saloon at Silver
City. Between that time and the
opening of the Lincoln county war,
as it has been generally termed, he
was known to have been the princi-
pal actor in the murder of three
sleeping Indians for their ponies and
pelts, and two monte dealers for
thei- money. During the Lincoln
county war-whIch you should know
was . war for disputed pasturage-
ground between two rival nrms OF
cattle kings and their respective ad-
herents, the Kid certainly murdered
with his own hand two unarmed
men, whom his companions had
made prisoners, and the clerk of .
merehantile house for demonstrating
with him shout driving of horses
belonging to the firm. He also kill.
ed one man in open fight, and as
sisted in the assassination of three
officers of the law, including the
sheriff of the county. Subsequent to
the war he killed in q saloon Texan,
whow he provoked into & difficulty,
after he had made himself secure BY
manipulating his opponents pistol.
But his final atrocity was the killing
at Lincoln courthouse the two officers
who had him in charge after his ar
rest and trial, and who allowed
themselves to be taken At . dissd-
vantage through heedlessness and
over-confdence. In all, 1 think, 1t is
settled that about dozen men were
done to death by his individual hand,
and that, perhaps, about as many
more fell in sffrays with HIM and his
companions. During these years,
too, he neglected no opportunity of
plundering the people; and hundreds,
aye, thousands. of cattle and horses
were carried off and sold by him and
his gang. This 6end, rather than
man. was finally hunted down and
slam when only twenty-one years of
age by the gentleman you have just
seen, and whose name I have just
given you-Pat Garrett the then
sheriff of Lincoln county"

Feeding Pigs.

1t is fact that young pigs are
often overied and hurt, sometimes
killed by overfeedlng. When they
begin feeding it Is important that
they be properly fed. Their future
vitality depends upon this. Only
tattening swine should be fed, and
they would soon die from overfeed-
ing If they were not killed. When
a young pig chOkeS at the trough,
squeals and falls oyer ia a tit, it is
Overfed; when it goes TO the side
Of the stall, champs its Jaws, fodms
at the mouth, and does nothing
else than this, it has been Oveited;
and in both cases it is suffering
from congestion of the brain, due
to Indigestion aud disturbed circu-
latiOn. 1t is in a state Of apopleXy
anu will probably die aug how,
but the others may be saved by at
one reducing their feed about one
fourth of what they have been
getting. The prevalent paralysis
OF tue hind limbs is caused by
overlooking by which the kidneys
have been Overtaxed and the

region (the loins) is disturbed
Thus the power OF motion Of the
