Dr Haig points out that laziness, stu pidity, alcoholism and other effects that are much against the poor are largely due to excessive indulgence in meat eating, and estimates that in 75 per cent of the cases of insanity, can cer. debility and degeneration generally improper food Is to blame for the pa tient's condition. Dr Haig contends that alcoholism can only be fought through the diet, and that unneces- sary suffering is largely due to habits of eating. And this in England, while in America it is admitted that meat and other rich foods are far more con- mon. It seems to be just one more in stance where the expert who has de voted himself to careful study of diet and its effect on the general public has found out the dangers of rich food and sounded warning against meat

There will be no particular com- plaint in this city over one attempt which is now being made to divert trade" from this port, says the New York Evening Mail. The attempt to which we refer is the proposition to establish direct line of emigrant steamers between German ports and Galveston, with the idea of turning Il part of the tide of immigration from this city to the gulf New York has been enriched by immigration. and probably has nothing, in commercial sense. to lose by the continuance of the influx even at it's highest tide. In A social sense-frOm the point of view of the lasting welfare of the city and state--it may. however. have much to lose from the continued congestion of unassimilated European masses. Men who may be desirable immigrants in one place are not necessarily so in another. Hands are wante,l&in the south-the more the better. But where you have already. in one com. munity, a million of undigested for. 1 eigners. it is impossible to look with complacency on the arrival of another half million or more every year. We may. therefore. wish full success to this Galveston scheme. Texas has a place for all ;he immigrants that il will get through the new line. The sunny south will put ripe south western hue upon them in very | short time.

Novel Smoke House.

My neighbor has a smokehouse that I must tell you about, writes a corre- spondent of the Farm Journal. He has an old stove standing in an outhouse. Over the stovepipe hole he turned a bar rel, which had hooks screwed in the top of it on which to hank the hams and bacon. Then he simply put in 6 few shovelsful of hot coals and his smoking material. cobs, and that is about all there is to 1t. The fire is easily attended to from the front of the stove, and the meat is smoked with the least possible amount of trouble.

Feeding the Horse.

There is a certain amount which may vary under different circumstances which a horse can eat and which will sustain him and keep him in a good, healthy condition. Anything more than this is just as injurious as anything less. This amount can only be ascer- tained by experiment. as no two horses require exactly the same quantity of food.

After the Pistol Carrier.

Encouraging the agitation in Texas
against the habit of carrying concealed
weapons, the San Antonio Express
says that eff the Legislature should
srovide for the issuance of a license
10 carry weapons under the terms sug-
gested, and provide heavy penalty
Tor those who carry any deadly weap-
ons without complying with the law,
the double purpose might be subserved
OF adding to the revenues of the state,
besides doing away entirely with the
concealed weapon. 1t is probable that
a great many of those persons who
now go about with pistol under their
coat-tail or concealed about some other
part of their person, would relinquish
the practice altogether because of their
objection to wearing the badge. The
others would give notice all the time
of being armed. and could not then
take the mean advantage which tho
concealed weapon would afford"

Of the plant. The customer agreed to
take all that the factory could make.
Having nothing more to sell. my friend
returned to the house well pleased
with his success, and for several days
sat around smoking good cigars. while
the firm patted him on the back. One
day he came in and the boss called
him over. saying in this fashion:

not exclude freaks for any other mo-

Pocketless Women.

The pocketless condition of woman

the part of man, and even woman her
self confesses that it is legitimate
cause for hilarity and scorn at her ex-
pense. But what is woman to do?
Dressmakers will not give her pockets,
and 1t is an admitted fact that women
are what their dressmakers make
them. There was time when woman
boasted a pocket. 1t was a pocket
worth having, to. 1t was deep and
wide, and SO hidden that the most ex-
pert sneak thief made no attempt to
rifle 1t of its contents, be they ever
SO valuable. So inaccessible was it
that 1t became a by-word and a re-
proach. and was finally abandoned. In
lieu of pocket woman now carries a
hand bag which makes her the easy
prey to loss by carelessness or theft.
