The Cruel Way Calves Are Killed.

The usual way is to stick the calf's
throat little to max it slowly bleed to
death, giving it whole night of agoA-
izing misery. No complaint Is made
about this. Even the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is ST.
lent on the iniquity. The butchers say
it is necessary to make the veal white so
as to make it suitable for the .'chieken

A study of the meteorological data
of Idaho leads to the conclusion that the
humidity of the atmosphere is increas-
ing year by year. Never since the set
tlement of Idaho has there been such an
immense crop all over the State as dur
ing the present season. The product OF
grass and grain has been wonderful.
Scientific estimates attribute this result
to a change in climate produced by the
multiplication of irrigating canals,
which moisten a great extent of coun-
try and create humid atmosphere. 1t
has been observed that frequent rains
now fall during the months of July aud
August. Nature is closing up the gap
between the wet and dry seasons
and equalizing the rainfall. Many be.
lieve that the time is not far distant
when the arid lands will become arabic.

Speaking of the establishment of banks
for the benefit of farmcrs, recent
writer says: "The Finch idea Is for
the Government to ADVANCE S2,000,0 900
as capital to enabl: each municipal dis
trict to establi-.l bank of simple form,
which shall oe managed by an agricul-
tural syndicate or a select number of
farn,rs who would decide upon the SOL
.ehcy of the applicants for loans, and
who would collectively become guar.
antee to the Government for the amount
of the debt. The money advanced by
the State would be loaned at rate of
interest lower than that paid to deposi.
tors in savings banks, and the State
would have the right of inspection at
any time of the banks affairs, while the
responsibility for its assets would rest
with the farmers or body acting as a
Board of Management. Paper would be
discounted for as small sum as one
dollar, and the farmer would be able to
deal direct with the wholesale vendor
of seeds, fertilizers or agricultural i'm.
plements, giving his paper in payment
of his bill, the bank cashing the same
for the merchant and the farmer redeem.
ing it after harvesting his crops. The
farmer would thus save the expenses OF
the middle man and also effect saving
of four to five per cent. in discounting bis
paper, the management, of course, be-
ing careful, as they would be responsible,
that loans were made only to economical
and progressive farmers of good stand
ing,"

Mr.. j. p. Blaze, an extensive real
estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa,
narrowly escaped one of the severest
attacks of pneumonia while in the
northern part of that state during a
recent blizzard, says the Saturday
ReoieD. Mr.. Blaize had occasion to
drive several miles during the storm
and was so thoroughly chilled that
he was unable to get warm, and in
side of an hour after his return he
was threatened with severe case of
pneumonia or lung fever. Mr.. Blaze
sent to the nearest drug store and
got bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, of which he had often
heard, and took a number of large
doses. He says the effect was won
derful and that in a short time he
was breathing quite easily. He kept
on taking the medicine and the next
day was able TO come to Des Moines.
Mr.. Blaze regards his cure as simply
wonderful. Fifty cent bottles for

THE LEGISLATURE.
FORTY.NINTU DAY.
TUESDAY, July &c, 1892.
Afternoon session.

The Assembly rc-convened at / :l3
o'clock and continued with the con-
sideration of the reports of the Judi
ciary Committee on Bill No. 73, re-
lative more particularly to change of
the enacting clause Of Bills.
After some little discussion, the
majority report of the Committee was
accepted (to use the word "Sover-
eign" and the Bill and report were
made the special order of day for
next Tuesday, August I'd.
Bill No. 6, to levy an internal
revenue tax, (of 20 cents per pack)
on playing cards was read for the
third time.
Noble Macfarlane was opposed to
the passage of the bill although he
did not wish to say anything against
it. He had been considering the
matter of revenue himself and be-
lieved that a far larger income could
be obtained by levying a tax on plug
tobacco, at 10 cents per 10. He
mentioned statistics in support of his
argument. He showed that a reve-
nue. of $4,000 might be obtanable
from tax on tobacco and it was
eminently proper to place tax
thereon, for the manufacturers in the
United States had themselves to sub
nit to home tax. He moved the
bill under discussion be tabled.
Rep. Kanealii had doubts of the
tax, if levied, being properly carried
out. People engaged in an innocent
game of poker might be arrested by
policeman on u charge of having
unstamped cards. The Hawaiians
were, as he thought, to be the suf-
feNrs; trouble even between the
United States and Hawaii might
ensue if this law was passed.
After some further argument the
bill on motion was passed.
Third reading of Bill No. 46, re-
lating to the appointment of police
justice for the district of West Kau
Hawaii. Passed.
Second reading of Bill No. 81, tc
create one police and two district
justices for Hilo, and to divide that
district into three judicial districts.
After considerable argument, last,
ing over an hour, the bill was dis.
covered by Noble Cornwell to be un.
grammatical in construction and 8
motion to amend certain lines caused
a closer investigation of the wording
which resulted in the bill being re

NATURES REMEDIES,
1t May Interest Fou to Know Some OF
the Med cal Uses Of Fruits.

A noted authority of Philadelphia
thus summarizes the uses of fruits in
relieving diseased conditions of the
body. 1t should not be understood
that edible fruits exert direct medi-
cal effects. They simply encourage
the natural processes by which the
several remedial processes which they
aid are brought about. s'Under the
category of laxatives, oranges. flgs,
tamarinds. prunes, mulberrics, dates.
nectarines and plums may be IN
Guided; pomegranates, cranberries.
blackberries, sumach berries dewber-
ries, raspherries, harberries, ounces,
pears, wild cherries and medlars are
astringent: grapes, peaches strawber-
ries, whortleberries, prickly pears,
black currents and melon seeds are
diureties, gooseberrieS, red and white
currants, pumpkins and melons are
refrigerants and stomachic Sedatives.
Taken in the early morning, an
orange acts very decidedly as II laya-
tive, sometimes amounting TO pur-
gatiye, and may generally he relied
on. Pumegranates are very
astringent, and relieve relaxed throat
and uvula, The bark of the root, in
the form of decoction, is a good an
thelmintic, especially obnoxious TO
tapeworm. Figs, split open, form
excellent poultices for boils and small
assesses. Strawberries and lemons,
locally applied, are of some service in
the removal Of tartar from teeth.
Apples are correctiyes USE
full in nausea, and even sea-sicknesS,
and the vomiting of pregnancy. They
Immediately relieve the nausea due
to smoking. Bitter almonds contain
hydrocyanic acic, aud are useful in
simple cough; but they frequently
produce sort Of uFticaria, or nettle-
rash. The persimmon, or diospyros,
is palatable when ripe; but the
green fruit is highly astringent, zen
tanning much tannin, and is used
in diarrhpa and incipient dysintery.
The oil of the cocoanut has oeen
recommended as a substitute for cod

many for phthisis. Barberries are
very agreeable to fever patients in

A Sure Sign of Death.

From time TO time we are Mortified by
learning that some person has been
buried alive, after assurances have been
given of death Under these circum-
stances the opinion Of a rising French
physician upon the subject becomes of
worldwide interest, for, since the ties 5
which have been in use for years have
been found unreliable, no means should
be left untried TO prove beyond doubt
that life is actually extinct before con-
yeying our loved ones to the grave.
DIR. Martinez asserts that an unfailing
test may be made by producing blister
on the hand or foot of the body by hold
ing the flame of candle TO the same for
few seconds, or until the blister is
formed, which will always occur. If the
blister contains any fluid it is evidence
of life, and the blister only that produced
by an ordinary burn If, on the con
trary, the blister contains only steam, it
may be asserted that life is extinct.
The explanation is as follows: A corpse
is nothing more than inert matter, under
the immediate control of physical laws
which cause all liquids Heated TO a GER
tain temperature to become steam; th ,
epidermis was raised, the blister prt .
duced. it breaks with a little noise and
the steam escapes. But If, in spite of
appearances, there is any remnant of
life, the organic mechanism continues 10
he governed by physiological laws and
the blister will contain Serious matter, as
in the case of any ordinary burns. The
test is as simple as the proof is concIu
sive. Dry blister: death. Liquid bis
ter: life. Anyone may try it: there is
no error possible. = Public Opinion.

A Curiou, Advcnturn.

An Alabama duck hunter had a
curious adventure, one day, while out
on the water in his skiff Some years
before he had lost his leg in rail
road accident, and the limb had been
replaced by a cork substitute, useful
for ordinary purposes, but preventing
him from following game, except in
boat. On this occasion, as he was
an expert marksman, he had always
loaded the skiff with ducks, when. in
reaching after a particularly fine
bird, he ovcrrcached and upset the
boat. Down went the birds, the gun
and the hunter, and there being a
swift current at that point, the boat
driftcd away before he came to the
surface. Being unable to swim, the
hunter clutched wildly for sup
port, but found none, and would GER
tainly have been drowned had it not
been for his cork leg. 1t kept him
atloat, and at first he was overioyed:
then he became apprehensive. The
cork leg had a tendency to inyert
him in the water, and, after strug-
Cling against this for some time,
he managed to unstrap the limb and
use it as float. Ii was then easy
10 paddle ashore, aud the hunter was
saved although he lost nearly every
thing else but his life,

Imagination Killed. Her.

A remarkable instance of the hold
superstition has upon the mind of
even the educated and religious was
exhibited in the case of lady noted
for her intellectual attachments and
piOus life. One morning, arising in
what seemed her usual health and
spirits, she summoned her children to
come to her Obedient to their
mothers call, they came at once,
though ignorant Of the reason of their
summons. When all were about her
the lady informed them that she had
had dream in which her husband,
who had been dead for nearly fifteen
years, had warned her that she had
only ten days more Of life. She sent
for her children to bid them good -by,
which She proceeded TO do with much
talmneSS, but with the air of one who
had not the slightest doubt that she
was already dying. Her friends at
tempted to reason with her, and to
point out the folly of placing such
perfect confidence in dream, but all
TO no purpose, for the lady persisted
in asserting that she would depart
from earth on such a day and exactly
at certain hour.
Her pastor demonstrated with her,
and even brought the seycrest cen
sure to bear on her superstitious
Credulity and at last she ceased to
speak Of the matter, 50 that her
family had begun to think that she
had conquered her fancy. She con-
tinued in excellent health. and pur,
sued her usual daily life, but just be.
fore the hours she had predicted would
be that Of her death She sought her
children and babe them gOod-by;
then, seating herself quietly in an
armchair, expired just as the hour
was struck, The physicians declare
that her death was due solely to her
| imagination.

Mr. Littledale who just crossed
the mountainous Pamir in Central
Asia, says mountain scenery there is
quite different from mountain scenery
in Switzerland and Caucasia, where.
when the eve is tired of resting on the
grand ice scenery above, it finds a
pleasant change by turning to the
green pastures and the forests below.
In Central Asia, however, although
the mountains arc higher, the glaciers
owing to the puny snowfall, are much
smaller, while below the mountains.
instead Of yerdant fields and forests,
is picture of utter desolation that
would be hard to match in any other
part of the world. The country at
the base of the mountain is 50 high
above the sea that vegetation is very
scanty, and the plains are most for
bidding in aspect.
