THE ARMY
From the report of the Secretary OF
War ii appears that the strength OF
the army on September 80. 1894, was
2.135 enlisted men. Although this is
apparently very Slight decrease com
pared with the previous year. the act
ual effective force has been increased
to the equivalent of nearly two regi-
ments through the reorganization Of
the system Of recruiting, and the con-
sequent release to regimental duty Of
the large force of men hitherto serv-
ing at the recruiting deposits. The
abolition of these deposits, it is pre-
dicted. will further more effect an an
nual reduction approximating $3.50
coo in the direct expenditures. besides
promoting generally the health, NOR
ais and discipline of the troops.
The total expenditures for the War
Department for the year ended June

A bachelor says: Man that is
married to woman is of many days
and full of trouble. In the morn
ing he draws his salary, and in the
evening behold it is all gone; it
goes but he knows not where. He
spendeth shekels in the purchase of
fine linen to cover the bosoms of
his family, yet he is seen at the
gates of the city with but one sus-
pender. He goeth forth as an OK
or an ass, and draweth the chariot
of his offspring. He ariseth in
chilly garments of night, and seek
eth the somnambulent paregoric,
which healeth the colicy stomach
of his offspring. Yes he is alto
gether wretched and full of misery.
Wide is the road and broad is the
way that leadeth to the gate OF
matrimony, and many there be that
goeth in thereat.

The City Prison .Jag Cure.


the Oity Prison have cure for
drunkenness that has never been
known to fail. It will sobor up a
man quicker and keep him sober
longer than anything else on earth.
No hypodel mic injections that tie
his nerves into bow knots or
nauseating nostrums that turn his
stomach wrong side out are given,
but the treatment is none the less
severe.
When a "drunk" is dragged into
the City Prison limp and uncon-
scious he is thrown into d cell and
allowed to sleep it off. When he
finally wakes it takes him about
half an hour to realize his position,
and then he falls victim to red
hot remorse. He knows he is in
Jail and more than suspects that he
was arrested for drunkenness, but
he recollects nothing of it and the
uncertainty is perplexing.
About that time couple OF
police officers come to his cell, he
is, taken out, seated on a bench,
with an officer on each side of him.
He commences to wonder what is
up.
sWe are officers" remarks one,
"and we want to know how this
happened"
"Don't know. Suppose | took a
drink or two too many"
'Oh, [ mean the killing"
What killing ?" and the
"drunk's" hair commences to stand.
"Oh, you needn't pretend that
you don't know anything about it..
There's the blood on your hands.
and we've got the knife you cut
that woman's throat with" !"
"My God I! did I kill anybody
So help me, God, gentlemen, I
don't remember a thing after I
took that last drink of whisky"
and he commences to moan and
cry.
"What did you want to kill her
for 2"
"Who did 7 kill? My wife ?"
eyes, your wife-cut her throat
from ear to ear.
The .drunk" nearly faints and
walls SO loud that he attracts the
attention of every one in the
prison. About that time half a
dozen reporters flock around him
to interview him and they question
him about the narrowing details.
He looks at the blood on his hands
and shudders, not suspecting that
it is from his nose. He pleads
that he remembers nothing of it
and must have been insane. Then
he is locked up again and the next
time he IS questioned he tells a
long story to show that it was in
self defense during drunken quar-
rel. He swears he will never take
another drink so long as he lives
and is allowed to 80 with the
statement that his story of self-de
fense is believed. He sneaks home
to attend his wife's funeral and
finds her alive and we'll. But he
stays sober for many days. F.

We might as well permit our
enemies to direct the movements OF
our armies in the field in time of
war as to permit them to direct or
control our manufactures and other
industries in times of peace. The
present pressure illustrates the fol-
ly of Uncle Sam in assisting his
rival and creditor Johnny Bull to
demonetize silver. England buys
from fifty to sixty millions of silver
annually to use in her trade with
India, China and other Eastern
countries. When our mints were
open to free coinage she never
bought an ounce for less than $1.29.
Now she gets it for about half
price. Every ounce will buy as
much wheat and cotton in India as
it ever would, but, the silver ounce
costing less, the cost Of these sta
pies delivered in Liverpool is re-
duced one half through half price
silver. This regulates the price of
all wheat and cotton England buys
from US, and these staples form
nearly one half of our exports.

DR.. G.. o. Vaughn, dean of the
University of Michigan Medical
Faculty, believes that he has dis
covered certain specific for tuber-
culosis. The product is called
nuclein, and was but recently
made. The doctor has just re-
turned from the international Oon-
gress of Hygiene at Buda Pesth,
Hungary, where he read a paper
on his discovery which attracted
considerable attention. He has
not proceeded far enough in. his
experiments to declare that nuclein
will absolutely prevent tuberculosis
in men, but he has proved that it
will in animals. Albert A. Wat
son, a senior law student from De-
troit, has, however, tried the
nuclein. In nine months he had
gained twelve pounds and seemed
entirely cured.

HOW TO THROW A BULL
In Order to Get Mt His Feet for Trim
ming and Other Purposes.

In Order to Get Mt His Feet for Trim
ming and Other Purposes.
A good method of casting bull, in
order to get at his feet for trimming and
other purposes, by throwing is done
quickly, easily and safely. The plan is
as follows:
Put halter on. Take a sound, ordi-
nary cart rope; make a loop at one end
and pass it over the head, and let it rest
close around the neck, low down, like a
collar; bring the rope to the near side,
pass it over the back part behind the
shoulders, bring it underneath the chest,
and pass it under and then above the
rope, SO as to make a loop around the
chest; carry the rope back, pass it over
the loins, and bring it underneath the
belly close to the TANKS; make another
loop as before and carry the rope straight
behind the animal; tighten up the loops,
one close to the elbows, the other close
to the hind TANKS.
All being ready, instruct the man who
holds the halter-shank to pull forward,
and at the same time the men who have
hold OF the loose end of the rope to pull
straight backward. and down the ami
NAL goes, generally without struggle.
Keep his head down and the rope firm,
and as a rule the animal lies quietly I'M
til such time as it is desired that he
should get up, when the rope is slack
ened and up he gets, none the worse for
the casting.
The heaviest bull may be cast in this
way; but, OF course, no one should think
of casting cows in calf, either in this
way or any o'her. Those who have ex-
perienced trouble in the past in trim
ming their bulls feet will greatly appre-
ciate this novel method OF casting for
that purpose.
