and unpatriotic, lis object is
three-'o,d. First, to relieve the
formers from being forced to sell
at the time and for the price named
by the purchaser. Is not that
worldly Of an effort by statesmen?
Is not thar result necessary to keep
tie producers from rapidly ap-
proaching bankruptcy? Second,
to prevent depreciation Of val ues
BY the arbitrary contraclions OF
the currency by Wall street, and
third, to increase the volume Of
the currency. Would not the first
be near the producers directly?
Aud would not the second and
third be a BLESSING to the whole
country except Wall street? And
yet the whole bill, framed by men
far above the average OF intelli-
eence, and presented by hundreds
Of thousands Of suffering men and
families, is waived of with the
back 0 the hand and the petition
ers are informed that they ask for
what they know nothing about"
Replying to the charge that the
measure is unconstitutional, Col.
Norwood says: '!t he sub-treasu-
ry bill be uHcons it lLionaI that
obstacle is easily removed. That
once sacred Instrument must be
amended in order to more clearly
/ define and restrict the powers Of
congress. If the constitution can
be amended three times in three
/ ye rs-tbrae times to protect five
million negroes from slavery
/ can't it be amended once in one
/ hundred years to save sixty nil ,
| lion whites from slavery?""
Congressman Norwood, it will
1 be remembered, wrote several
| years a1o a political novel called
,'Plntoracy, or American w hite
| Slavery which, as he describes it,
is Il "ieeble p cture OF what exist,
and a prodiclIon OF what is to be.
| Then he adds: "Ny hope OF peacea,
! bic deliverance tor the whole coun-
| try rests with the Alliance" These
utter8ncos coming from Col. Nor
wood will create the biggest sen.
satious Georgia has yet had. The
Alliance will undoubtedly support
I Norwood, and il they do it will

| Cases of poisoning due to meat
which seemed thoroughly whole
some have sometimes occurred and
have remained unexplained. In
the Revue d Hygiene Of his month
NJ. BuurreIer, insL ector of meat
for the town OF Paris, makes a
valuable suggestion. He describes
his experiments with meat impreg-
mated with tobacco smoke. Some
thin slices of beef were exposed
for a considerable time to The
fumes of tobacco, and afterward
ohereI to dog winch had been
deprived Of food for twelve hours.
The dog, after smelling the meat,
refused to eat it. Some OF the
meat was then cut into small
pieces and concealed within bread.
This the dog ate with avldily, but
in twenty minutes commenced TO
display the most distressing symp-
toms, and soon died in great agony.
All sorts of meat, both raw and
cooked some grilled, roasted and
boiled, were exposed TO tobacco
smoke and then given TO animals,
and in all cases produced symp-
toms fof acute poisoning. Even
the process of boiling could not
extract from the meat the nicotine
poisoning.
Grease and similar substances
have facilities OF absorption In pro
portion with their fineness and
fluidity. Thus the fats most readi-
ly influenced by tobacco smoke are,
in their respective order, the fat of
horsehesh, of pork, of veal, of
beef and finally OF mutton. flashed
meat Is, of course. more readily
affected than large pieces; thus, a
lew pulfS of smoke directly pro.
jected on the sausage meat will
give it a characteristic and un-
pleasant taste. The juices of meat
are equally dangerous. The juice
squeezed out Of some veal perfect
~ saturated with tobacco smoke |
was injected into rabbit, and
death resulted in a few moments. |
Fresh killed meat is more readily |

and horse. The effect also varies

New Uses for joss Sticks.
Philadelphia Times,

Philadelphia Times
When joss sticks are mentioned
Americans generally think OF
Chinese funerals and incense Of
fered TO Chinese gods. What the
sticks really are they scarcely
know. joss sticks may be de
scribed as something like cigar.
elites. They are brownish in color,
about six inches long and Eol
much thicker than knitting
needle. The brownish part is
mounted oil a thin stem three
inches long, colored, as so MANY
pieces of Chinese and japanese
wood are, with the deep pink shade
OF pokeberries.
The Joss sticks are quite low
priced, being generally sold at the
rate of five or six for a cent.
When ignited by a match at the
upper end the stick burns, not with
flame, but with a steady glow
like a cigar. The smoke is not
perceptble enough TO be disagree
able. The perfume is exquisite.
The material Of which the inflam-
mable part OF he stick is composed
is evidently the same as incense.
The odor is the same, only much
more delicate. Fashionable peo-
pie are now beginning to burn joss
sticks in their houses just as they
effect japanese vases and screens.
This promises 10 be not foolish
but a sensible fashion. Nothing
better and cheaper than joss sticks
can be recommended for driving
unpleasant Odors out Of a room or
house. In The winter when the
subject of ventilation becomes dit
ficult one of the joss sticks may
prove an efficient ally. One stick
burns about fifteen minutes. There
is absolutely no danger from If it
is carefully stood up in a porcelain
vase. A bunch of sticks a dozen
or so, will eGeciually perfume a
room even without burning.

way TO his ambition he tried to
impllcate General Moreau in Pich-
egru's conspiracy. Moreau had
been Napoleon's superior and was
very popular but under the cir
cumstances, as Napoleon was on
top, it was not safe to express any
public sympathy with Moreau so
his admirers secretly agreed to

Bot her cheeks reflect the roses
That breathe sweetness on the breeze
Aud her eyes are bright aud glowing.

Where sweet heavens image wakes.
She seeks not the latest fashion,
Simple is her bat and gown;
She may have o tender passion
For the red, but gray or brown
Satisfies the hearts pure longing
More than rosy colors bright;
Still, where roses red are thronging,
She stands brightest in the light.

he'd better 90 back to the hotel.
Mrs. Harrison pressed The invita-

give some plausible excuse, said he
had left his grlp-that was what he
called it-down TO Tie hotel, and
if he didn't 90 back he couldn't

"Take one of Ben's," said Mrs.
