IGNORANCE AND TEACHING.

An exchange speaks as follows of the plan
TO teach all school children the nature and
effects Of alcohol:
popular ignorance Of the fact that alcohol
and other narcotics have the power to create
an uncomfortable appetite for more leads to
the formation OF such appetites and theie
consequences. No boy expects TO become
drunkard when he begins to drink. In
fancied security youth of generation after
generation have embarked in the current of
tippling only to be drawn into the rapids OF
appetite and finally plunged over the awful
Rhvss OF drunkenness. To prevent this and
thus pre-empt the childhood OF to-day and
the Nation OF tomorrow, for an intelligent
sobriety is the primary object sought by
what are called the temperance education
laws already enacted by the National Con-
gr.ass for all schools under Federal control
and by thirty-six out of forty-four States shat
constitute the United States. In these
schools are the overwhelming majorities of
the future, the lawmadng power Of to-
morrow
Every years experience and observation
strengthens the faith in the prophecy that
ten years from the day when physiological
temperance is as thoroughly taught in all
the schools as geography and arithmetic the
alcohol question will be settled and settled
Alright in this Republic by popular in
telligence with corresponding habits. Hard
indeed must be the heart of the man or
woman who could deliberately withhold the
utmost warming science has against strong
drink and other narcotics from the children
under his or her care"

NOT A HEALTHFUL SMELL.

1t is almost a universal belief in this
country that the smell of manure
is healthful. Recent investigation
by the Board of Health of New York
City demonstrates that such belief rests
on fallacy. Some English hygienists
characterize "mews," as stables are
called over there, as hotbeads of dis
ease. The Board of Health of New York
City have been collecting statistics
since July /, 1892, on this subject.
During the investigation 1896 stables
were visited and their sanitary condi-
tion and the mortality occurring in
10, ,266 houses with a population of
24l go people, including S3, 1926 chill
dren less than five years old were
noted. The houses were all within
fifty feet of stables. The results are
formulated on an estimate of /, ,849, Alb
population and the figures are against
the healthfulness of stables. The be-
lief that scarlet fever and diphtheria
are fostered by the proximity of stables
is borne out by the investigation
Whooping cough, that is generally be-
heved to be beneficially affected by the
stable efiuvia, had the same mortality
near stables as elsewhere. The in
vestigation proved that phthisis and
acute respiratory diseases are de-
cidedly more fatal near stables than
elsewhere. The Importance of this in
vestigation to farmers is TO point out
the necessity of care in placing their
stables close TO their dwellings,. An
other point is the recklessness of men
coming direct from the stable to the
house with their clothing reeking with
the etiiuvia of their contact with ami
mails, thereby engendering disease for
which there is no appreciable cause.
The investigation points out in un-
mistakable terms the occasion for the
malignant character of many disorders
/ that have puzzled the medical world.
Its teachings are that greater care
should be exercised by all whose avo-
cations call them to stables, not to
enter houses until they have been in
the air a sufficient length of time to
dissipate the odOrs that their clothing
absorbs in such places, American

BREEDING pRAuaHT HORSES.

English draught horse breeders have
given more attention TO size, power
and strength than any other breeders
and have the heaviest draught horses
in the world. The Olydesdale breeders
in Scotland were the first to start a
draught horse stud book and they have
made pedigree their chief cornerstone.
French breeders have made action and
beauty of form their aim. They care
not so much for size and still less for
pedigree. The Belgian breeders be-
heve they have the model draught
horse and have carefully maintained
their type for generations.
The American draught horse is being
evolved from these breeds with good,
heavy draught size, with style and
action to suit our markets European
breeders have been developing theil
model draught horse for a hundred
years and have made the draught horse
their national breed and the agricultural
horse of all Europe. American farm
ers, too eager for experiment and i'm
patient for success, have tried all the
breeds, have crossed and mixed then
to their hearts content, and then di
luted with trotters and coachers ant
find we lack the chief element-size.
Let us now adhere to line breeding
to sires in the same stud book, ant
grade up for a larger draught horse
with size and weight in the collar, with
all the beauty of form, style and actor
we can get, but we must first get size
to make draught horses; thousands o.

The True SardIne.

sardines are a small fish of the her
ring family that are caught in vast
quantities on the west coast of France
and to less extent along the shores of
Portugal. Their flesh is very delicate.
The sardines are salted or preserved in
olive oil or butter and put up in tin
cans for shipment TO all parts of the
world. The larger-sized sardines are
called celans in France and pilchards
in England; their shoals are preyed
upon by Goldfish and especially by por-
poises. Little fishes of many other
genera of the herring family are called
sardines, among them being the "Span-

TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.

We have in the United States sc, 900 more
saloons than public schools.
The United States produced 10, 900, 900 gal
Ions more wine last year than did Germany.
Russia's daily drink bill is said TO amount
to 81 900 900, and Russia is confronted with
famine.
The employees of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road have been prohibited from smoking or
chewing while ON duty.
In one of the great Paris Hospitals it was
found that of eighty-three patients who suf-
fered from epilepsy, sixty were children OF
drunken parents.
The well-known scientist, Doctor b. W.
Richardson, sums up the case against drink
in the words "If by any miracle England
were made sober, the average value OF life of
the people would be increased one-third."
Many people are going insane from the
use OF cocaine. The popularity Of the CO.
caine habit when once it is firmly seated, is
that il creates an ungoyernable appetite Tor
all kinds OF stimulants, under the combined
effects Of which the victim sinks to ruin.
Several OF the large railroad systems OF
the country have inaugurated temperance
reform, insisting that all train employees
shall be abstainers from d~iDk, and mum
Der Of men have been discharged recently on
their refusal TO be total abstainers The au-
thorities argue that even If man is sober

The Rockford Monitor says that to get an
intelligent idea of the vastness of the drink
bill of the United States for 1S92-S1 200, ,000,-
600, we make a few comparisons, "The net
earnings Of all the railroads Of the United
States amount to less than one-third of our
drink bill. The loss of property by fire In
1891 was only one-ninth Of the liquor bill.
The entire expenses of the United States
Government are only about one-half what we
pay for intoxicants. The aggregate capital
OF all our National banks is about 500, 000,-
600 or but little more than one-half the
amount squandered on drink each year."

A oueer WAY of Advertising.

A queer way of advertising wares
has been created by n Sixth avenue
taxidermist who occasionally has real
live things to sell. Last Friday while
walking past his shop 1 perceived n
stuffed alligator in the window with a
sign in his mouth to this effect: "You
can have my little brother for SO, and

The acidity has everything to do with

The Macon TeloFraph's view Of II.

Inc macon 4NloHTahn Wow OF AZ
Commenting on the statement o. the
N0RSISG News that the decree ordering
the sale Of the Central railroad would
. force an the junior security holders to ac-
. oept whateyer plan of reorganization for
the road that might be agreed upon or run
the ri5l. Of getting nothing for their Sc
curi,ics. the Macon Telegraph expresses
the opinion that the Southwestern stock
. holders are in a much better position, as
. they are not obliged To accept a plan they
do not approve 1t says. I'VE believe the
holders Of the Southwestern stock are in
a much better position. They are not
obliged to accept any scheme Of reorgani-
zation that may be offered"
10 would be interesting to know on what
the Telegraph bases this opinion. 1t
dc IS not seem to us that the Southwest
ern stockholders are in a position 10 die
tate terms The decision of Justice
jackson is that the Southwestern is
liable for one-third of the amount of the
tripartite mortgage bonds. This amount
with accrued interest and costs will not
be far from > 100000. II the Southwest
ern doesn't pay the amount for which it
is liable it is to be sold.
In-iew of the present physical condi~
tion of the Southwestern. its lack of roll
ing stock and its decreased earning ca
pacity it is hardly probable that it could
raise the money necessary to pay the
part of the tripartite bonds for which it
is held If it were permitted to go to a
sale the stockholders might buy it in,
about $40 share to liquidate its debt,
besides providing a sufficient amount to
put the property in a condition to earn
anything on its stock. Assuming that
this is the actual condition of affairs it
does not seem to Us that the Southwest
ern stockholders are in a much better po
sition than the Centrals junior security
holders.
tits true that the attorneys oflthe South
western have talked about taking an APP
peal from the decision that saddles a
third of the tripartite debt upon that
road, but they admitted in open
court that the decision of the court of APP
peals would not likely be different from
that of Justice jackson. They cannot
get to the United States supreme court
without giving bond for S2,50000O, and
who is going on bond of that kind7 We
would be glad if the Southwestern po-
sition was more favorable. We see no
ground, however, for the view expressed
by the Telegraph. AS far as we are able
to understand the situation reorganiza-
tion plan is the best hope of the South
western, and we are very much mistaken
if that is not the view taken by the
Southwestern stockholders.

How Booth Tanned an outlaw.

u was ca his first visit south that the elder
Booth made the acquaintance 90 noted OUT
law. and they eventually became strong
friends. The story OF their meeting, a. told
hy Uncle Ben" Baker remembered by all
the theatrical profession, 70 a Memphis cor
respondent OF the New York Tribune. Is as
follows
We had PLAYED o brief engagement in
Memphis and after the performance com
menced packing up. II was miserable
night. and the audience had been scarcely
visible. the receipts amounting 10 less than
$50 After the performance We went down 70
the river In order 10 get on the boats. Be
fore leaving the theatre we had been warned
10 be on the alert for river pir9tes and dock
thieves. ON reaching the little FOathOuse we
all took bench and a few minutes later
seven Of the Misunderstanding men / ever laid
my eyes on entered They were soon followed
by tall, handsome looking fellow. who ap-
peared TO be the leader l acknowledge we
all felt scared and occasionally some OF the
company would hide their money and valua-
bles when they thought no one was looking
After being seated Tor nearly half an hour
We were suddenly startled to see Booth rise
from his seat, and. walking over towards the
leader Of the party, introduced himself, at
the same time asking il he would care to meet
the balance OF the company The man look
ed ia amusement and before he had any op
pOrtunity to reply both added that they had
taken m about $50 that night and since they
were all going on the same boat, asked the
Well, to make a long story short these two
men became friends from that moment.
Il he man admitted that he was a noted
outlaw and that their only object in going In
the toat was to rob us but that instead they
would he our protectors.
A year or so later, when we visited Mem
phis, Booth one day received a note asking
him to CALL on a United States prisoner con
fined In the Memphis penitentiary The call
was answered, and the prisoner proved to be
none other than the leader Of the band OF out
laws. who had been condemned TO death
During the week frequent calls were paid,
and ali the luXuries of the season were sent
to the man. On the day that we left he pre-
sented to the outlaw gold ring in remem-
brance. Some time later, when Booth was
playing in st. Louis, one day a packet was
handed to him. On being opened 1t was found
to contain mans skull A note was enclosed
from the prison authorities at Memphis, in
which they stated that prior to the outlaws
death he had made will in which he be-
queathed his skull to the great tragedian. In
after years the skull was always used in
Hamlet and eventually was turned over to
Edwin Booth, who, at the close of one of his
tours sent 1t to his home in Baltimore. II
