OVER. .EATING.-It is q decree that
while civilized man cannot live without
dining, he might live great deal lon
ger without so much dining, or rather
without dining so extensively. Sil
Henry Thompson says that he has
been compelled by facts to think that
more mischief in the form of disease
has accrued to civilized man from er.
roneous habits in eating, than from the
use of alcoholic drink. He also de.
clared himself to doubt whether i'm.
proper and inordinate eating were not
as great moral evils as inordinate
drinking. Many ofour best physicians
say that the habit of fovereating is at the
bottom of most troublesome diseases
Doubtless this habit is most often laid
in childhood. How many mothers
feed their babies as often as they cry,
taking it for granted, IN the most i'm
beetle manner, that her baby cries for
food, when more often the hel pless lit.
tie victim cries because it already has
had too much food. When the stomach
once becomes accustomed to being
crowded with food, if the upply is cut
short there is at first a gnawing sensa-
ton that is frequently mistaken for
hunger. Persevere a little longer in
your abstinence, and you will find
your self benefited by it.-Hall's
Journal of Health.

WAITING For IT TO COME ALONG
A young man stood on Market street
at 1.3O O'Clock this morning with his
back against the rail that guarded a
plate glass window and his arms hook
ed over it. The policeman on the
beat stopped long enough to observe
that he was very drunk,
"What you doing here?" he asked.
"Waitin' fer car zen'm goin' home" "
Gail right; that's the best place for
you" And the officer passed on.
Two hours later he found the same
young man wabbling about in the
same place and in the same position.
II thought you were going home, "
he said.
"Zat's whattam," replied the inebri-
ate cheerily. "Ben waitin fer Eat

MAKING HORSES GENTLE.

A horse can be made to "fret it's
life out" by the inadvertancy of man.
Many a good horse is sold as worthless
because it is spoiled by bad manage
ment. Most drivers use the lines and
whip the horse too much, and are too
careful about having any object come
in contact with the animal, fearing it
will frighten the beast. I will simply
give my own plan. I familiarize my
horse to being hit unexpectedly about
the body, back and legs, and teach it
to stop short when spoken to, even ifa
vehicle is crushing down at its heels.
Some think this cannot be done, but I
have failed to see the horse yet that
cannot be familiarized by right man
agement if the work is commenced
early enough or before vicious habits
are formed. A lady 80 years of age
has driven a spirited horse of mine
over extremely hilly road, with no
hold-back straps or irons upon the
thills, and in perfect safety. 1 take
special. pains to hit my horse-care-
fully at first-when not expecting it,
on different parts of the body, and to
push the buggy against it, and dangle
the thills about the legs and allow the
vehicle to run against it until the
animal learns that it is not to be injur-
ed by these sudden attacks. 1t is a
bad plan to talk to a horse, in what
some term quieting tone. A tremu-
lous voice will awaken suspicious, and
agitate instead of quiet. A strong,
positive whoa, with firm drawing in
of the reips, will bring steed to a
stand still-after training-and attract
It's attention from whatever concerned
it before. 1t will become so accustom-
ed to the obedience of voice that it
will come to a sudden halt if rods
away. The owner should drive the
animal himself, generally and instruct
others as to his manner of management
when necessary to change drivers, and
insist that the method be adopted.
Never whip horse when he is fright
ened or nervous, or try to force IL up
to the object that has caused the
alarm draw in on the reins suddenly,
speak out with assurance that you are
not afraid, then turn the animal q
little away from the unpleasant sight
and bid it go. In an instant all is
forgotten. A blow of a whip upon q
frightened horse gives it double cause
for violent action, and if it don't run
it's fool. A naturally timid horse
may be made passive by familiarizine
it with all sort of strange sounds and
queer looking objects. The most spir.
tied city horses seldom get frightened
at anything they hear or see. In
loading never put on more than the
animal can pull readily. Good fitting
harness and reasonable loading, with
right mastership, are proofs agains!
balky horses, i. e., animals thus cared
for will never know other than ODE
dience.

How TO Stop BLEEDING.-Some
persons have tendency to bleed, no
matter how slight the cause. A small
cut, scratch or the extraction of tooth
will cause profuse bleeding and some
times endanger life. When from the
latter cause, take little powdered
chalk, roll it up in the form of a cork
or plug, dip it in spirits of turpentine
and press it firmly into the cavity.
Change it every ten or fifteen minutes
until the bleeding is stopped. Let the
last plug remain in over night, and
then do not pull it out, but wash the
mouth in tepid water until it is loosened
using cold water after the first few
mouthfuls. Bleeding from the nose is
seldom serious, except in old persons.
1t is often good in children, if not
too copious. If symptoms of faintness
ensue let the person sit right up, bathe
the face and neck with cold water, or
dash cold water in the face, or better
still, take cloth or towel, dip in cold
water and bandage the forehead and
rails thee arms as high as possible over
the head or cross them firmly behind
the back. This action has the effect
of contracting the muscles of the neck
and diminishing the rush of blood to
the head. In every obstinate cases
pinches of very finely powdered alum
may be inhaled, or alum water snuffed
up the nostrils. Plugging the nostrils
should not be resorted to unless by a
physician, for if not properly done the
blood, instead of being stopped, finds
its way to the top of the throat and is
swallowed.-Boston Transcript.

WASHING WINDows.-There is a
right and wrong way to wash win
dows. The following method saves
time and labor: Choose dull day,
or at least time when the sun is not
shining on the window, for when the
sun shines on the window it causes it
to dry streaked no matter how much
it is rubbed. Take painters brush
and dust them inside and out washing
all the woodwork inside before touch
the glass. The latter must be washed
simply in warm water diluted with
ammonia; do not use soap. Use a
small cloth with a pointed stick to get
the dust out of the corners do not use
linen as it makes the glass liuty when
dry. Polish with tissue paper or old
newspaper. You will find this can be
done in half the time taken where soap
is used and the result will be brighter
windows.

The Farmers From Petersburg Fared
Very Badly.

The Farmers From Petersburg Fared
Very Badly.
The Farmers were not in the game yes
terday after the fifth inning. UP to that
time neither side had scored run; it was
a battle royal between the opposing twirl-
ers, Coons and Stocksdale, but in the lat
ter part of the fifth inning, with two men
out and two on bases, Kane dropped a
ball that should have retired the side.
Hill scored on the error. Then Cockman
singled, Fleming smashed the ball into
deep right field for three bases and scored
on Williams single During the hitting
melee five men chased each other around
the bases and crossed the rubber.
This lead of five runs proved too much
for the visitors, who could not solve Coons'
puzzling delivery; he pitched Il magnifi
cent game and allowed the visitors but
four scattering hits throughout the entire
game, and never at any stage did they get
man farther than second base DUSTY"
had wonderful control, only allowing one
man to go to first on four bad balls
With the exception of a ball juggled by
Wrigley, the support given Coons was OF a
gilt edge nature. On the other hand
after the fatal fifth to the visitors, Stocks
dale was batted hard and freely, though
errors prevented the home team from
getting but one earned run.
The locals scored again in the seventh.
Sherer led off with II single, Coons went
out to Kane, Cockman went out on a
foul fly to Vetter, Kane dropped another
ball thus allowing Fleming to reach the
first bag, Williams cracked out a single
and both Scherer and Fleming crossed
the rubber. The last three runs of the
game were made in the ninth by Cock
man, Fleming and Tate

honors easily by making hit every time
he went to the bat. McGann, Wrigley
and Cockman We're in the game all the

Chicago, July 2.-The movement to
make Senator Hill chairman has received
decided impetus to-day and there is good
reason to believe that the executive COM
mittee would he pleased to suggest his
name if they felt that it would be accepted
by the silver men. Members of the COM
mittee profess to believe that Hill will be
acceptable to the silver party because he
is not regarded as an administration',man,
though ranked with the gold forces.
Many impartial observers express the
opinion that the Senator will be ulti-
mately accepted by all factions in order
to make smooth sailing at the beginning
of the convention. The silver leaders

PROGRESSING SLOWLY

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 2-There is
practicallynothing new to be added to the
condition of affairs at the twin shaft in
Pittston. The work of removing the de-
brs is progressing very slowly owing to
the immense amount of solid rock that has
fallen. Much of last night was spent by
the rescuers in strengthening the stone
wall that conducts the ventilation in the
shaft The bodies are about ZOO feet from
where the rescurers are at work. 1t is
almost an assured fact that the men will
not be found alive and it may he a week
or more before they can be reached Some
of the best known miners Gin rhis region
say that it is more than probable that
not half of the bodies will ever be re-
covered
