Lycoming county, came home. He
reports the snow so deep in that re-

INTERMITTENT DRINKERS.

There would be little use in my describing
what | believe to be the cause and the course
of intermittent drinking unless | set forth
my experience as to the various methods in
use to check or cure the disease. IL may be
asked, HAS not a man a will powerS and
can he not of his own volition abstain from
what he knows TO be simply self-destruc-
tionV My answer, unhappily, must be that
a man who has nice fairly fallen into the
drink habit, whether constant or intermit-
tent has scarcely any will power while the
fit is on him; and, as l have said, each At
leaves his will feebler and less able to with.
stand tho temptation of a sedative of which
he has proved the power and of which he is
too prone to forget the danger.
The intermittent drinker, as soon as he
has abstained for a few weeks forgets the
disastrous effects of his last attack. He be-
heves himself as temperate and discreet a
man as any OF his friends who takes his pint
bottle of claret at dinner and seldom takes
more. He does not see why he should not
do likewise. L. is the hardest thing to con.
vince an incorporate drunkard, who is able
TO abstain for a period, that he can never by
any chance become a moderate thinker.
Nevertheless, the principle of his drinking is
distinct from that of a mo lerate man. II
be tries to return to his two or three glasse:
of claret, be is absolutely certain to go on L
his secret nip of brandy or of WHISKY
and his "nips" will increase, and he will
find himself pack again in the old road L
ruin. The patient il he really wants to b.
cured, must clearly make up his mind tina
it must be total abstinence or self-1estruc
ton, gradual, perhaps, but not the less sure

A Good Lnmn for a Cat.

There is a large Maltese cat making its
headquarters at the Seventh Police Pre-
cinct Station hat is bound to 90 on
record as the smartest feline known,
Like ell other cats it delights in captur-
ing sparIows, but unlike other cats it
has never been known to let a bird get
away that it made up its mind to catch.
Lieutenant Thompson is authority for
the statement that the cat, perched ON
the cornice of the building made leap
of twenty-five feet into n tree and
caught a sparrow. The Lieutenant has
also watched the cat while bird.catch.
ing, and has counted nine sparrows car
ried to a spot, and after tue hunt was
over devoured one by M A peculiar
trait of the cat is that there is but one
man who reports at the station that she
will make friends With, and he is Patrol
man Rowland. When he is on night
duty the cat will follow him from the
time he goes on until relieved the next
morning. All the dogs in the Nowburg
region have encountered the cat on sew.

VINES.

rhe Chinese honeysuckle are excellent
vines to train on a plaza for screens in
half shady positions, and when shaded
it remains green all winter. The Japan
honeysuckle, both the plain green-leaved
and the golden, are rapid growers, and
will thrive with.a full exposure to the
sun. Their flowers are very fragrant,
and continue to appear for several weeks.
The Dutch monthly honeysuckle is also
an excellent vine for such purposes, and
it remains in bloom from early spring
until autumn; in fact, you can scarcely
choose amiss in selecting any species or
variety of the climbing honeysuckles,
although there are some more desirable
than others. But for a very rapid and
slender growing vine we do not know
any that excels the Akebia q~uinata from
Japan. It's leaves are of q dark rich green
color, and they appear eatly in spring
and hang on until very cold weather in
the autumn or early winter. It's flowers
are of a dark purple color, and produced
in pendulum clusters. The plants are
now plentiful in nurseries, and may be
obtained very cheap.-New York Sun.

WORRY, DRINK AND LuNAcY.

1t is no new thing TO hear of the close
connection between indulgence in alcohol
and the development OF insanity, Accord
inglv we feel no surprise at n statement by
DR.. Augustine Planus that a large proper
ton OF the cases of lunacy registered in
Paris OF late years are attributable to this
form OF excess. Far more significant is his
observation that drunkenness has increased
very markedly in the French capital. This
effect is, OF course, due to IA variety of causes.
Among these one is of particular interest
from its bearing upon the neurotic aspect of
the alcoholic dyscrasia. 1t is the pressure
and worry of overwork, probably combined
as usual in the like circumstances with ir-
regular feeding and van of sleep. Though
felt by all classes of workers, an important
characteristic OF its action as a cause OF al
coholism is its increasing influence among
those who labor with their brains Artists,
authors, and especially journalists "a group
of persons by no means usually given to eX.
cess-are enumerated as having succumbed
TO the subtle poison; and this result has,
doubtless with truth, been attributed to the
craving depression'ot mental fatigue. 1t is
not difficult, indeed, TO trace a connection
here, and we may accept it as a warning
that forced labor is ever prone to become
the natural parent of other and worse ex-
cseses. The best work, however hard, is a.
ways methodical enoug to permit of timely
rest and of regular nutrition, and the tull
recognition of this fact is a mere question Of
public utility which we hope TO see more and
more widely admitted in practice. -London

THE DEMAND FOR MUTTON.

Until recently there was no demand
for mutton, in the form of lamb, outside
the cities aud more wealthy towns, but
now wherever cultivated people Of means
are found lamb is wanted. Country
people formerly ate hog meat, partly as
a necessity and perhaps of choice; but
more recent observations among the
better-living farmers show that a change
has come even here. The farmhouse
menu compares favorably with the most
luxurious city livers. The number of
lambs consumed on farms has not been re-
ported, but it would be quite consider
able. Mutton has long been a favortte
in country homes. Latterly the more
fastidious country people have sent the
well-fatted old sheep to market instead
of consuming them, and kept the best
young sheep for home eating. Summer
resorts, sanitariums, country hotels and
boarding houses consume large quantities
of the best mutton, and pay good prices
to the home producers

IN SURGERY.

The journal of lnebriety invites attention
TO the Manual of Operative Surgery" by
the well known surgeon of the London Hos
pital, DR.. Frederick Treves, in which, re.
Ierring to the risks attending operations on
the bodies of druukards, he says:
IA scarcely worse subject for an opera
ton can be found than is provided by the
habitual drunkar1. The condition contra.
indicates any but the most necessary and
urgent procedures, such as amputation for
severe crush, herniotomy, and the like. Tht
mortality OF these operations among alco'
hollcs Is, II is needless to say, enormous
Many individuals who state that they dc
not drink, and who, although perhaps never
drunk, are yet always taking a little stimu.
liant in the form of 'nipS and an 9ccasiona.
glass, are often as bad subjects for surgical
treatment as are the acknowledged drunk.
ards.n
"Of the secret drinkers" continues Mr..
Treves, "the surgeon has to be indeed aware.
In his account of 'Calamities of Surgery
Sir james Paget mentions the case of a per,
son who was a d%runkard ON the sly, mi yet
not so much on the sly but that 1t was well
known 70 his more intimate friends. His
habits were not asked after, and one of his
fingers was removed because joint disease
had spoiled it. He died in a week or ter
days with spreading cellular Inflammation,
such as was far from unlikely to occur in al
habitual %drunkard. Even abstinence from
alcohol for a week or Two before an opera
ton does not seem to greatly modify the re
suit. Dwelling on the Immense Importance

FROZEN BUTTER KEEPS BEST.

With the improvements of r~efrigera.
ton and the ability to produce a very
low temperature at a minimum cost we
are now able to freeze butter aud
hold it at a very low temperature
at a cost as low or low
er than formerly paid for ordinary cold
storage. After experiments, covering
a range of five years, it has been thor
oughly demonstrated that this is the
only proper way to hold butter. Butter
made in June, frozen solid and held
until May, came out in elegant condi-
ton. Not a tub oily and all in very
fine flavor. Ordinary goods hold their
own and deteriorate very little. Re-
peated experiments have shown us that
butter frozen will stand up longer after
being taken out of the freezer than that
held in the cold storage. A certain
amount Of fermentation takes place in
the cold storage butter that is prevented
by the freezing process, and when the
butter is taken from the freezer it has
better keeping qualities than butter held
in ordinary cold storage.-Creamery

HOME MADE moan TIRE WAGONS.

There are ten OF twelve wagons in our
town having old mowing-machine wheels
on the running gear, writes W. H. Mat
thews, of Vermont. These wheels and
ax!es cost only the price of old iron.
The hay rack is only t~hirty-six inches
high, and when manure or other loads
are drawn, the body is only three inches
higher than the axles. 1 have drawn
many loads of hay with my rig on
ground so soft that an ordinary tire
would not be supported.
The moving machine axle is cut in
two in the middle and holes punched
in the ends, and bands or clasps placed
around a wooden axletree in order to
make the axle long enough for a wagon
body between the wheels. The cogs on
the outside of the wheels are cut of
with the hammer or cold chisel, so that
the rims are smooth. 1 have cut them
from twenty wheels without breaking a
rim. The holsters are made the same
size as those of my wagon, so any box
or rack may set on. This wagon saves
hard Ut heavy lifting and is used almost
entirely on the farm. Owing to the
broad tires one horse can draw a heavier
load than two with the ordinary wagon.
l also have a stone boat on four of the
wheels which l use a great deal, 1t i
hung under tbs aXles, about six inche.
from the ground, and saves all heavy
liftirg.--Farm, Field and Preside.

from the kitchen, with shorts added, in
sufficient quantity to keep them in a
vigorous growing condition. Grass aud
clover pasture would be excellent, but
these were not available and not furn-
ished. Nothing seems better for keep
ing young pigs growing to their fullest
capacity than shorts and dne middlings.
The feeding experiment began Sep
TENDER 1 and ended December 20, maxi
ing 100 days. The hours for feeding
were s a. m. and 8 p. m. Charcoal was
given two or three times q week. An
effort was made to use such food as
could be obtained on the farms Of Ore.
gon. These were chopped oats, whole
oats, whole wheat, barley and a mixture
one-fourth each of ground wheat, barley,
oats and shorts. The rations were
mixed with enough water to wet them
up thoroughly and allowed to stand
until the next feeding hour. The mix.
ture Of ground feed was the n best
relished.
The chief points OF interest developed
were that in the dry excrement of pigs
fed on whole oats aud wheat much Of
the grain was passed to all appearances
wholly undigested. Very slight gains
were made from chopped or whole oats
alone. The above seems to indicate
that the feeding of whole grain to pigs,
wherever it may be practioed, must be
wasteful.
Photographic representations of the
meat of the mixed fed lot show a large
per cent. of lean meat in the samples.
The texture of the meat in this lot was
all that could be desired. In similar
sections of those fed on whole grain
there was a little larger per cent. Of fat.
A photograph of similar cuts from a pig
of similar weight, fed exclusively on
corr at the Kansas Station, does not
differ materially in appearance, except in
the amount of fat in the loin cut, in
which particular there is considerably
more in the corn.fed pork than in those
of the Oregon experiment New York
