The Democracy Of Tennessee, in State
convention assembled, reattirming an
abiding faith in the great truths Of human
liberty and constitutional government an
nounced by the author OF the declaration
of American independence, illustrated by !
him in his administration OF the Federal
Government, and inculcated by his State
papers and by his wise teachings, and
since, in the varying conditions Of our ma
tional life, promulgated and enforced III
national Democratic platforms and adj
ministrations, hereby indorse the latest
utteranCes of the national Democracy as
embraced in the platform adopted at Chi
cage.
Employing therein the fundamental
and unchanging truths Of constitutional
representative freedom, the national De-
mocraCy placed thereon as candidates for
President and ViCe-President Grover
Cleveland and Adlai E. Stevenson, men
worthy OF the faith Of the party; fully
qualified to be it's opponents before free
people, and thoroughly equipped to exer-
else the sacred functions of the high Off
ces for which they have been nominated.
This convention of Tennessee Democ-
racy heartily and ungrudgingly indorse
their nomination and candidacy, because
freemen can trust men who believe that

pIARRHGA IN CALvEs.

ManySnquiries como asking how 10
cure dlarrhea in young calves. Too Of
ten this effect is produced by neglect to
scald the milk pail in which the calves
are fed. In carly calf life, though the
calf has four compartment, stomachs, yet
the fourth, or true stomach, has nearly
all the digestive function TO perform.
The digestive apparatus Of young ami
mails is highly organized with nerves and
blood vessels, and is, in consequence
easily deIanged. Moreover, the stomach
and bowels sympathize with the skin,
Over feeding, fact feeding, sour and de.
composing milk, left from lass feeding
in the pail, sudden chill from exposure
from rain, wind and wet ground, all may
induce dlarrhca in young calves. Even
Jersey calves suffer from too much and
too rich milk. 1t is best to give calves
their mothers milk. Any sudden
change may produce banelul results.
All newly-born calves should be sucked
by the mother for two or three days, as
the first milk contains the natural physic
designed for tie removal Of the mecon-

CHOICE ROSES.

Tea roses are always pretty, and their
dehcacy in coloring, shape, aud fra
GRANGE does not seem to extend to their
growth, for they give almost always
good results. The Bonsilene is one of
the most most popular of all roses, its
buds being particularly beautiful. The

classed among the tea roses. 1t has
pink petals shaded off to a very light,
and sometimes white, color at the edge.

but the flower in full bloom is one Of the
prettest of the pink roses. The Som

There's toide difference
between the help that's talked of
and the help that's guaranteed.
Which do you want, when you're
buying medicine9
If you're satisfied with words, you
get them with every blood-purifier
but one. That one is DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. With
that, you get guarantee. If it
doesn't help you, you have your
money back. On this plan, medi-
cine that promises help is pretty
sure to give it.
But it's because the medicine is
different, that it's sold differently.
It's not like the sarsaparillas, which
are said to be good FOR the blood
in March, April, and May. AT all
seasons and in all cases, it cures
permanently, as nothing else can,
all the diseases arising from a tor
pid liver or from impure blood.
It's the best blood purifier, and
it's the cheapest, no matter how
many doses are offered for a dollar.
With this, you pay only for the
good you get.

When Snake Poison Is Harmless s.

Nature seems to have provided that no
poison which acts externally shall have
any effect internally, and vice versa.
Thus the most deadly snake venom can
be swallowed with impunity, the juice
of the stomach presumably decomposing
it and rendering it harmless. Many ex-
perments have been made to prove this.
On one occasion recorded by Humboldt
one person swallowed the whole of the
poison that could be obtained from four
Italgn yipers without suffering any bad
consequences. In the same way the
poison from the envenomed arrows of
South American Indians can be swal-
lowed with safety, provided only that
there is no wound on the lips or inside
of the mouth. Washington Post.

A FATAL ERROR.

DIR. N. S. Davis, an ex-President of sn In
ternational Medical Congress, and for forty
years an active practitioner of Chicago, says:
"There is no greater or more destructive
error existing in the public mind than the
belief that the use of fermented and
distilled drinks does no harm so long as they
do not intoxicate. 1T is not the temperate
use, hut the abuse of alcoholic drinks that
does harm is the often-repeated popular
phrase that embodies the error which helps
to rob more than 1000 persons of from
five to twenty years of life in the United
States through the gradual developement of
chronic structural diseases induced by the
daily use of beer, ale wine or distilled spirits
in quantities so moderate as at no time to
produce intoxication. No more true or inn
portant remark was made in the noted dis
cussion in the London Pathological Society
than the one by DR.. George barley, that
for every drunkar1 there ar fifty others
who suff er from the effects OF alcohol in one
form and another.'n

SELLING HIS OWN CHILD FoA BEER.

Arecent number of the London Temper
ance Chronicle had a striking cartoon, a
picture of a father and mother eager for
drink accompanied by a little boy whom
they were trying to sell for a drink of beer
saying; Give us pot and you shall have
lm." This man aud woman were charged
at one of the London police courts with beg
ging, and thus came out this dreadful fact
of their Offering TO sell little boy for pot
of beer. The poor child, it is stated, was in
"A dreadful condition, his head and body was
literally covered with cuts, bruises and
scars; a shiyering, starved. i'll treated, I'M
cared fol-, unloVed atom of humanity. The
Chronicle, referring to the incident says:
what revelation OF the power of drink. u
father selling his own child for a pot of beer
to be used as decoy in robbing the public.
Such conduct makes the blood tingle in ones
veins that such things should hap
pen in a Christian land. But such
is the power of drink that little child is
offered up in sacrifice to satisfy the unholy
in modern times the parallel to the words of
the Prophet Joel, They have sold girl for
wine that they might have drink"
In view OF such awful extremities and
such unutterable degradation as the drink
habit is thus shown 10 induce, how funda-
mentally Important the total abstinence
movement which teaches the wisdom and
duty on the part of all to avoid strong drink
altogether. Both in this country and in
England there is urgent need for increased
and more effective total abstinence pro
pagandism. such shocking cruelty and in
humanity as this London incident reveals,
should be stimulant to all to enlist heartily
and earnestly in the total abstinence crusade.

WHERE L1oron COMES FROM.

In a survey of the imperial statistics of
the consumption of alcoholic drinks in Ger
many, DIR. VIM. Bo le says that the produc-
tion of the raw material manufactured into
wine, beer or spirits, occupies about one
fifteenth of the cultivated land of the en-
pire. On this area of farming land enough
rye might be grown TO supply 5000 millions
of pounds of bread more year to every ono
of the fifty millions of people inhabiting
Germany, or 800 pounds to an average fami'
ly of five persons, which is the entire food
needed by the family for nearly fifty days,
or about oue-eighth more of food than they
can enjoy at present. One fourteenth of all
the productive forces OF Germany is engaged
i'll this pernicious industry. The amount OF
money spent ON drink has been estimated at
about Sl2O, OO0, 600 a year, or $40 to each
inhabitant, or Sl2 to each average family of
five. Professor Schneider, the economist,
says: Among our working people the
conditions of domestic life, OF education, of
prosperity, OF progress or degradation, are
all dependent on the proportion of income
which flows down the fathers throat. The
whole condition of our lower and middle
classes-one may, even without exaggera-
tion, say the future of the Nation-depends
on this question. If it is true that half our
paupers become so through drink, it gives
MS some estimate of the costly burden we
tolerate. No other of our vices bears
comparison with this"

EaiInr the Flesh OF Poisoned AnImnls.

The subject Of the use Of the flesh Of
animals killed by poison has been studied
by Schmidt-Mulheim with . view to de-
termine whether, il eaten by nen, such
flesh would be injurious. As reported
in the Revista Internazionale d'Igiene Of
Naples for June, 1891, il may be used
without any danger whatever. Many
savage races constantly use the flesh OF
the animals that have been killed with
poisoned weapons and have never been
injured by that means. Harms has
proved Universal Medical Magazine)
that the flesh of animals that have been
poisoned with nux vomica and with tar
tarized antimony is not at all hurtful;
Feser has demonstrated the same fact in
regard to strychine and eserine; Spsllan-
zani, Zappi, and Sonnenschein have done
the same for arsenic. Froehner and
Knudson have made some experiments
for this purpose with strychine and with
eserinc. They fed dogs with large guam
titles Of mutton poisoned with strychine
and eserine, and they found that no in-
jury whatever was done to the animals.
Besides, they themselves ate some of the
poisoned meat cud drank soup made from
it, and found that the flavor was good
and had no injurious effects whatever on
the system. In regard to the alleged in
furious effects caused by the meat of
animals poisoned with hellebore, and
which had eaten belladonna leaves, the
authors have shown that the accounts
published in this regard have not been
proved and require further tests

fHE POTATO ROT.

The potato rot fungus attacks both the
foliage and the tuber Of the plants, caus-
ing in the one case what is called blight
of the vines and in the other what is best
known as potato rot. The first appear
ance on the leaves is seen in yellow spots
and powdery substance on their sur
face. These spots soon turn brown, and
finally the whole plant becomes infected
and dies.
If the leaf spines come in contact with
the tubers, or if the fungus reaches them
through the stems, rotting of the tubers
ensues, provided there is a continuance
of warm. moist weather, which seems to
be condition attending the prevalence
of the disease. In seasons when the at
mosphere is cool the tops are not at
tackled, and if the soil remains cool the
tubers will often escape when the tops
are destroyed.
Unfavorable climatic conditions of
course cannot be prevented, but it should
be remembered that loose, light soil
does not promote the decay like one
in which water is held and the air enters
with difficulty. Deeply planted potatoes
may escape, while tubers lightly covered
may more readily contract the disease
from the vines. As rule potatoes should
be dug as soon as the vines show that
they have been struck by the rot.
As an applied preventive, some of the
experiment stations have reported favor.
ably on spraying the vines three or four
times with the Bordeaux mixture. Used
at half strength and with Paris green, be.
ginning with the appearance of the po-
tato bug, it may be made to serve two
purposes. Early planting and early har-
vesting are also in the line of safety
against the potato rot. New York

BOOTS FoR YOUNG HORSES.

Boots should be used in driving and
breaking young horses, even though
they are open-gaited and do not strike.
Colts are looking everywhere but where
they step, and sometimes get their feet
mixed. In such case they may hit a
cord or tendon, which is apt to disable
them for weeks or months, and some
times for life. Charles Marvin, who for.
merly trained the Palo Alto colts for
Senator Stanford of California, always
booted the youngsters thoroughly when
they took their work. Boots are not to
keep horse from interfering, but to
protect him when he strikes himself.
