Some People Insist on Getting Dvunk.
Still, even after physical restraint has
been faithfully prersevered i'll for long
periods. many of those who have been
subjected to it resume the habit of get
ting drunk soon after they are set at
liberty They do this simply because
they want to. Drunkenness is mode of
enjoyment for them. They either do
not believe it to be injurious, or, if so be.
lieving. they drink and knowingly take
the consequences. Not long ago

they choose and they feel that it is an
outrage upon their personal liberty to
subject them to restraint. AS to moral
suasion, the third of our means of cure,
it is mainly successful with those unfor-
tunate but intelligent persons who
strongly desire to be cured. 1t is with
these that the advice of a physician in
whom they have confidence, the encour-
agement that he is able to give them,
and his charity toward their failings
which his knowledge of human nature
give him, proves most successful. These
are the patients to whose honor we can
trust with the most confidence, and these
are the ones who are most generally
cured.-From Dr. William A. Ham.

brains and Longevity.

The suggestion has often been mado
that head full of brains is fair assur
ance of long life. That there is some
thing in it is proved by feature of the
attendance at James Russell Lowell's
funeral. There had been neither time
nor endeavor to call the poets old asso-
ciates together, yet there were present
five members of the college class in
which Lowell graduated more than half
a century ago. College classes We're not
large in those days, either.-New York

Beware the Red Sock.

NJ. Schutzenberger, chemical expert,
says that all the many specimens submit
ted to him derived their red color from
matters derived from aniline, and con.
tanning large proportion of antimoniao
oxyde. AS children perspire freely, thi,
matter enters into solution and is thus
taken into the pores. The professor had
no doubt that it was the cause of the pos
tuIar rash which accompanied the use o.:
red stockings.-S James Gazette.

What 1t Costs TO Live and Die.

1t costs something to live and good
deal to die; in fact everything costs, says
bright exchange. Some one estimates
that getting born costs the people of the
United States $3.50, ,00O,O0 annually; get
ting married, 10000, 900; and getting
buried, 100000. 1t might be added
that getting drunk costs the people OF
the United States more than 5000, 900, 00c
annually, or over one and one-half times
as much as getting born, married, and
buried put together, and more than all
the bread and meat consumed in the
nation.

FACTS FOR THE FARMERS.

THB farmers gain is participated in
by the whole community.
CoRNCOBs are exceedingly rich in pot
ash. Save them, burn them and care
fully collect the ashes therefrom.
INSECT powder is too expensive for
general use on the farm, but it will pay
to use it on flowers and in the green
houses
SOME clay lands are so stiff that the
water cannot go down. Such lands are
benefited by deep blowing, subsoiling
and tile drainage.
The well may contain water as clear
as crystal and yet it needs cleaning
oftencr than is done on many farms.
Disease sometimes comes from the drink
ing water.
GRASS for hay should not be grown il
the apple orchard, as it not only roba
the soil of the fertility required for the
fruit, but of moisture, which is of even
more consequence.
IT depends a good deal on the soil
whether culture should be level or not.
On bottom lands where water las
tendency to stand after storms, ridge or
hill culture will be best
For mealy bugs on plants use fir
tree oil, which may be obtained of any
druggist. A teaspoonful to gallon of
water is the right proportion. 1t is ap-
piled with syringe and with consider
able force.
THE good suggestion is made that
the owners name should be on all i'm
plemcnts and tools. A branding-iron,
by means of which the name can be
burnt into the wood, is not expen-
sive, and makes the impression per-
manent.
THE way to insure a quick and
healthy growth of timber, according to
the Nebraska Farmer, is to mulch
around the trees with straw, old hay,
or trash of any kind. Such treatment
will, it says, in the course of ten years
secure Il growth of timber from one
tree greater than that of half dozen
of its kind left to their own resources.

Last night, about o'clock, as Bob
Hunter, an old prospector AMI miner
in this section, was on his way to Sill
YER City, he was stopped just north OF
the Imperial works by four men, who
demanded what money and valuables
he had. Bob told the gang he had
nothing, and one Of the gang, recog-
nizing their catch, remarked: "Oh
that's old Bob Hunter; he amt got a
cent" and they let him proceed on
his way. Bob was unable to recog-
nize the highwaymen, but states that

THE SENTENCE.

The sentence of Benz. A. Morris to
the penitentiary for life, pronounced
by Judge Talbot this morning, gives
universal satisfaction to the people.
The Judge did his duty manfully and
while the people regret that the jury
could not see their way clear to bring
in a verdict of murder in the first de-
gree, they are satisfied with the SEN
tence.
The defendant when asked by the
Court if he had any legal cause to
show why sentence should not he
pronounced against him, made no re-
ply but with a cmile turned toward
Mr.. Farr 'ngton, his counsel, who re-
piled that he had nothing TO say.
When the solemn words of the Judge
were pronounced that consigned him
to living tomb in the penitentiary
at Carson, the defendant did not
twitoh muscle, and at the conclusion
smiled the same sckly smile that
played on his countenance while tes-
tifying in his own behalf. Sheriff
Polk will take Morris to the peniten-
tiary tomorrow morning.
