now and then complaints of. unfairness
and throwing off aud cheating as ih pthor

it was indeed to have beon expected

The sport has become almost as vulgnr as

is to us a matter of astonishment jhow

To bein n man with a bad ap-
pclito will if he smoke most na-
siirdly eat still less a noteworthy
fact for smokers or ot'-ors recover-
ing from wasting illness or "oil"
their fiod" from whatever cause.
This ell'ect of tobacco by tho way
whilo an evil to the sick man wlm
cannot cat ciionjli becomes it boon
to tho starrq innn who cannot gel
enough to out; an amplo illustra-
tion ot this va furnished among
the French nnii.Xlermnn soldiers in
tho recent war. .Again no man
should Miiolco who lias n dirty
tunguo a bad t:isto in his mouth or
a wook or disordered digestion. In
an' such case lie cannot relish his
tobacco itsl'oulu be a golden rulo
with smokers that the pipe or cigar
which is not smoked with relish
had belter not be smoked nl all
Indigestion in evory shnpo is ag-
gravated by smoking but most es-
pecially thai form of it commonly
known as atonic and accompanied
with flatulence. Diarroa as a rule
is made worso 03' smoking.
Ono of the commonest and eurli.
ost elFeeU of o?:cessivo or untimely
smoking is to make the hand shake
Tins gives the clue to another cl.asa
of persons who ought not to smoke
persons namely who havo weak
unsteady norvos and suffer Irom
giddiness confusion of sight trem-
ulous hands tendency to sla'nmer
or any .such symptoms. And if to-
bacco does t.arin in mcro functunl
weakness stijl lpss allowable is it
in actual organic (license of the ner-
vois system ;' as fsr instance where
there exists any degree of paralj-sis
or other sign ol (Iegeneratjvqchange
in the brain or spinal cord. Tho.
ii'npropor use of (tobacco . dftes bpr
yond question Eomehow. interfere
witji duo nutrition of nervo sub-
stance. An illustration of this fa-
miliar to oculists and medical men
is tho so-called tobaceq-amaurosis
a fajlnro of vision occurring in ex-
cesajvo smokers from mil-nutrition
of tije retina. Another class of per-
sona wliooyght not to smoko ai;9
those wlio bavo weak or unsteady
circulations and complain of such
trouble ns palpitation cardiac pain.
intcrmitV'ot pulse habitually cold
bands and feet or chronic languor
Lastly thcro is reason for believ-
ing that tho habitual uso of tobacco
is likely to retard tho duo growth
and development of tho body. If
so no one should become a smoker
till he is well pust tho period of pu-
berty. Boys moreover have no
excuse for smoking' for they are
spared the ha d wear and tear of
adult life.
Now after eliminating those who
from idiosyncrasy canned and thoso
who from bodily ailment or from
tender years should ' not smoko
there will still always be a largo
residuum of happy lolk who can
smoke enjoy smoki. . and are. in
deed tho better for i These stothef
who ose tobacco ithout abusing

ate quantity doe season and

which it' gives them a comfort

"Kds Coi'BiEit John Sherman
said in his Mansfield speoch that
uoor men nnv no taxes and ho
abuses and sneers at them for coin
plaining of hard times. When ho
was elected to tho United States
Senate it was all ho could f.o to keep
$oul and body together financially
(.peaking.' lie is now woi Ih a mil
linn oi' two of dollars; his salary as
Senator would not amount .to tifly
tlfousand. lie sneers nt poor men.
I havo a family of eight children
beside myself ant! wile to supplirt
by daily toil. It costs nie for boots
shoes clothing blankots and bed-
ding lea coffee salt pepper and
other necessities which I am .com.-
nelled to purchase it costs mo
more than one dollar each day of
my lifo to pay. tho additional ex
penses growing out of tho Kepnb-
lican tariff ulotio. Sherman knows
ho stated a falsehood
1 havo been a Ilepublican and vo-
ted that ticket ever since tho party
originated. I was ihroo years a
soldier in tho lato war and have
an honorable discharge. I am sat-
isfied that the Itopubjiran party is
corrupt boyond description I mean
itsleadors and more .than this I
know wo can rmt maka tho matter

. When it has cost two billions
eight hundred millions of dollars to

Artificial Kain.
In Eng'.and where experimental
agricultural is earriod to an extreme
almost unknown with us the inven
tion of methods of irriiratiu'iv has
beon very ingenious. At Stoko
Park a tract ol twenty acrcR.: is ir-
rigated by artificial rain tho sys-
tem being quite successful. Tho
water was applied evory night .last
summer in showers excepting vhpn
natural rain made it unnecessary.
The apparatus consists of pipes lajd
in the ground supplied from the
elevated reservoir into which wate
was pumped by machinery. ThS
financial exhibit made by the reT
salt of the experiment is said to be.
a good one. Tho interest on the
money investod in . he necejsary
machinery and the cost of oper-
ating it aggregated f 35 per aero;
for the entire tract of twenty acres.
Likewise the income per acre ag-(
irrciiratcd 8200 beinif mado np of
the proceeds of one crop of grass
and grar.ng in the autumn of 18. 0

A correspondent of the Cincinna-

1 writo this letter in tho houso
of an old lady who is a niece of that
llehecca Bryan who became tho
wile of Daniel Boono and concern
ing whoso eyes ( the young hunter
is said to have mistaken litem for
thoso of a deer ) tho pretty back-
woods romnnco is told.
Tho lady htrsolf is tho widow of
one of Daniel Boones own neph-
ews her second husband who as-
sisted in bringing the great huii'.or
back to Kentucky. Sho was born
in one of tho chief old pioneer sta-
tions ( her grandfather's ) near
Lexington and although she is in
her eighty-first year she is active
in body and busying herself with
her flowers and garden clear-sight
ed and alert in Spirit. Ilecently
sho heard from one of her middle-
aged sons absent over twenty years
in Calfiorniit and presumed dead
moro than half of that time was
yet alive and her joy wus great..
llo to had supposed It is mothor
to be long dead. . 1
Iho old lady has ft. rom an co con
nected with- hor second murriago.
It is as follows : When her moth
er was a young lady Colonel Wil
ham Boono the nephew of. Daniel
mentioned above .was very much
in love with her and asked heron
one occasion to mary hi ... Sho told
him that sho was engaged to Mor
gan Bryan and that .they were lo
be married in a fow days. Colonel
Boono went away and married an-
other young woman. Afterward
ho with his wife visited tho young
married couple when their first
child (now in her fifth score. of
yenrs ) was but a very few days old
and seeing the baby ho laughed
and said to her mother: "Now
Milly as you wouldn't havo me
yourself you'll givme the girl for
my second wife wonlj'ou t hethi
cr any jesting promise wus made I
tun not informed ; but tbo baby
grew op. and. at twenty-seven .she

Success of tho Malaga firnpc
. In Texas.
This incomparablo grapo grows to
perfection in Caluornia and 111 Mex
ico it origitiaiod irem tho Alain-
ga Islantls. It is cultivated in Al-
abama Virginia nnd many -other
States as a hot-houso plant and
has not been known to succeed well
under any other mode of cultiva
tion outside. of California and Mex-
soo. I hava) 1 for curiosity alono
beon trying it fe-y p'ants with my
other cursory stock. Thcso vines
uftor putting lliem out into tho
vineyard 1 found had stood tho
cold weather as well as the more
hardy kinds for threo winters.
Tho last was a ttying ono. I find
tho Malaga all right. It now is
loaded with bloom. Tho prospect
is good for an extra crop of this
excellent fruit. .
Tho bunches nre vory largo bor-
ry greenish or white shape oval
and when matured it is about tho
size of a medium plum. The wino
is as clear as water. I gathered a
bunch lust year tho first yenrs
fruiting. Their average was 12
i)?.. tho least b oz. the largest 14 oz.
Tho mode of cultivating this f-rape
is quite different from that of other
kinds. At 'east half tho leaves and
all tho profitless limber must bo
clipped off nnd po grass or other
vegutation should bo allowed to
grow near the vine. The highest
and dryest points are. best adapted
to this fruit. It will fail near a
creek bottom or river. Tho heavy
fog or dew ore its eowmon opositcs
baton the high aniL dry hills of
Texas tho Malaga will succeed.
