Why Horse Ents Dirt.
There was s block in the stroct up town
the other tiny, nml n crowd of people and
nv number of enrts, street rnrs and car
riages wero penetiilly mixed up and dc
laved for some time.
Directly in front of one of the enrs was
cart loaded wilh fresh dirt from lomo
cellar. The passengers on the car noticed
that one of the car hirses was interested
In the load of dirt. Finally ho stictchcd
his neck out and picked up a small
mouthful of the clay, which he seemed
to try to dissolve in histnouth, with con
siderable satisfaction.
"Why, that horse is eating flirt I" said
pafscngcr with some astonishment. "I
never seen the like."
"Nor I," said nuothcr man.
' ''Reckon you gentlemen don't know
much about hones," said a quiet man.
"A hoss," ho went on, "knows as much
rs any animal about his own stomach,
and if men knew as much as animals do
they wouldn't have dispepsy. A hoss in
the country if ho can jji't a hit ot grass
with his dirt ho lakes it that way, but
here in the. city I suppose be must be
filad to pet the dirt clean. That's why
that boss is catin' that dirt.
"I don't pretend to know what they
eat dirt for," the man went on, "but I
know that they do eat il ouccin while,
and it must le for tho good of their
stomachs and that they know what they
are doiug.
"Animals is knowing things, and so is
birds. A hen will eat clam-shells and
crackle over them if you'll pound them
up fine. A dog will hunt out certain
herbs wheu he is sick. A cow knows
when she wants salt as well as a man
does, an' it's the same way with any
other animal except a man." New York

Wells In the Desert.
Iu the year 1857 the French engineer,
M. Jus, demonstrated that that portion
of the Sahara Desert includod within the
area of French Algeria contained large
underground supplies of water, and the
number of wells bored since that time in
the departments of Algiers, Oran and
Constantine amounts to more than 13,.
000. These wells vary from 100 to 400
feet in depth, and tho pressure of the
water forces it a couple of feet above the
surface of the ground. It is then led
into ditches, and is carried in this way
to the vineyards, data trees and wheat
fields. No fewer than twelve million
acres of barren land have been made
fruitful in this way, an enterprise repre
senting perhaps the most remarkable ex
ample of irrigation by means of artesian
wells which can anywhere be found.
Algeria owes to this method of cultiva
tion that it is becoming a most im-
Eortant wine-producing country, as may
e gauged from the fact that it sent to
France in 1SC6 10,500,000 gallons.

THE GREATEST TRODO ?BR OF CRIMU.
In a recent address by Judge KlmbaP, of
Washington, on crime, speaking as the re
sult of Mis experiences as a police judge iu
the- National Capital, he said: "Thens is
nothing that produces so much crime as
liquor." He stated that durinj the year
ended December 31, lsyi, there were over
18.000 cases in the police court, somethin
over 13,0tJ In his own court. He added:
"The only way I o stamp out this curse will
be very earnest and aggressive Christian
work among the people." He cited a num
ber of pitiful cases of misery an i degrada
tion brought about by tbe use of liquor, aud
said; "Tbe jails are full all the time with
men who are inebriates." He spoke of the
r.eed of an inebriate asylum, a bill for which
has been introduced in L'oogress. If the
drink shops are to be continued in Washing
ton, by all means there should be an ine
briate asylum; but we suggest that it would
be wiser to close up the drink shops, and
therefore to a large extent avoid the neces
sity for an asylum for their victims.
Drunkenness.
The physical consequences of drunkenr.oss
are more terrible than can be described. Dr.
Richardson, in his Diieasos of Modern Life,
says that the heart, which beats KM times
when in its natural condition,- beats Ul

TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.
German military papers show that drunk
euuoss in the Uerman army is greatly in
creasing. Sake drinking is one of the great curses of
Japan. In the amount of rice converted
into sake amounted to 15,000,000 bushels.
A return has been published which shows
that the total numlier of public houses in
England and Wales licensed for th sale of
beer, or beer and wine, to be consumed on
the premises, is 32,407.
A writer in the Fortnightly Review, an
English traveler, says: "The very air of
Africa reeks with ruin and gin, imported
from England : every hut is redolent of its
fumes. Over large areas drink is almost the
sole currency and in many parts the year's
wages of the Negro factory worker are paid
altogether inspirits."
Chicago has a woman's baking company
that has been incorporated with a capital
stock of i.'So.oOo. The company is composed
of Christian Temperance Union women, aud
it is said tbey expect not ouly to ruu the con
cern on strict business principles, but also to
useonly the purest materials aud to have tie
work done entirely by womeu.
"Tbe hands of a man who works around a
bar," continued the barkeeper, "are another
source ot trouble. Always in aud out of
water, the skin cracks opeu and the poison
of whisky aud beer enters. Several men
have lost their arms from blood-poisoning
contracted iu this way. Nothing has ever
been discovered to prevent this."
Cardinal Manning was quits abstemious
in bis habits. When a guust at the most
splendid bauquets he would dine off a potato,
bit of meat au I a glass of water. Win
he never drank. He was greatly interested
in the temperance cause, and said spirit
did more to destroy the homes ot the poorer
classes than all else combined. "The Eng

is Charles A. Quant. I am 37 years old. 1
was born in the village of Hal way, and, ex
cepting whilo traveling on business aud a
little while in Amterdum, have, spent my
whole life here. My wit is a native of
Ontario. Up to about eight years ago I had
never been sick and was then iu perfect
health, 1 was fully six feet tall, weighed
ISO pounds and was vory strong. For twelve
years 1 was a traveling salcsm in for a piano
and organ irompany and had todo,orat least
did do, a great deal of heavy lifting, got my
meals very irregularly and slept in enough
Spare beds' in country bouses to freeie. any
ordinary man to death, or at least give hun the
rheumatism. About eight years ago 1 bewail
to feel distressed iu my stomitch and con
sulted several doctors about it. They all
said it iis dyspepsia, aud for dyscpsia I
was treated by various ductors iu different
places, and took all tbo patent medicines I
coul. 1 hear of that claimed to be a cure for
dyspepsia. But I contiuued to grow grad
ually worse for four years. Then I bugau
to have pain in my back and legB and became
conscious that my legs were getting we ik
and my step unsteady, and then 1 staggere 1
when i walked. Having received no benefit
from the use of patent medicines, and feeling
tnat I was constantly growing worse, I then,
u;ion advice, began the use ot electric belts,
pads and all the many diitVrent kinds ot
electric appliances I could hear of, an I spent
hundreds of dollars for tbem, but they did
me no good. (Here Mr. Quaut showed the
Journal reporter an electric suit of under
wear for which he paid tl-Z-i.) In the fall of
lS-8 the doctors ud vised a change of climate,
so 1 went to Atlanta, On., and acted as agent
lor the Estey Organ Company. Wbde there
1 took a thorough electric, trenttnont, but it
only seemed to aggravate my disease, afid
the only relief I could get from the sharp
and distressing pains was to take mor
phine. Tbe pain was so intense at times
that it seemed as though I could not stand
it, and 1 almost longed for death as the only
certain relief. In September of 1SS8 my
legs gave out entirely and my left eye was
drawn to ono side, so that I had
double sight and was dizzy. My
trouble so affectad my whole nervous system
that 1 had to give up business. Then I re
turned to New York and want to tho Roose
velt hospital, where for four tuonths 1 was
treated by specialists and they pronounced
ray case locomotor ataxia and incurable.
Alter I had been under treatment by Prof.
Starr and Dr. Ware for four mouths, they
told me they had done all they could for me.
Then 1 went to the New York hospital ou
Fifteenth street, where, upon ex iminution,
they said I was incurable aud would not take
me iu. At the Presbyterian hospital they
examined me and told me the same thing.
Iu March, 1111, I was taken to St Peter's
hospital in Albany, where Prof. H. H. Hun
frankly told my wife my case was hopeless;
that he could do nothing for me and that
she bad better take me back home and save
my money. But 1 wanted to make a trial
of Prof. Hun's famous skill and 1 remained
under his treatment for nine weeks, but se
cured no benefit. All this time I had been
grow.ng worse. I had become entirely
paralyzed from my waist down aud had
par tly lost control of my hands. The pain
was terrible; iny legs felt as though they
were freesing and my stomach wouldjjot re
tain food, aud 1 fell away to 120 pounds.
In the Albany hospital they put 17 big
burns on uiy back one day with red hot
irons, and after a few days tbey put 14
more burns on and treated me with elec
tricity, but 1 got worse rather than better;
lost control ot my bowels and water, and
uikju advice of the doctor, who said there
wns no hope for me, I was brought home,
where it w as thought that death would soon
come to relieve ins of my sufferings. Last
September, while iu this helpless and suffer
ing condition, a friend of mine in Hamilton,
Out., called my attention to the statement
of one John Marshall, whose case had been
similar to my own, aud who had been cured
by the use of Dr. Williams's Pink Pills for
Pale People.
"In this case Mr. Marshall, who is a promi
nent memb.'r of the Koval Temulara of
Temperance, had after four years of con
stant treatment by the most emiuent Cana
dian physicians been pronounced incurable,
and was paid tho tlOOO total disability claim
allowed by the order in such cases. Some
months after Mr. Marshall began a course of
treatment with Dr. Williams's Pink Pills,
and after taking some 15 boxes was fully re
stored to health.
"1 thought I would try them, and my wife
sent for two boxes of the pills aud i took
them according to the directions given on
the wrapper on each box. For the first few
days the cold baths were pretty severe, as 1
was so very weak, but I continued to follow
instructions as to taking tbe pills and treat
ment, and even before I had used up the
two boxes of pills 1 began to feel beuutluial
effects from them. My pains were not so
bail; I felt warmer; luy head felt better;
my food begau to relish and auree with me;
1 could straighten up; the leeling begau to
come back into my limbs; I begau to
be able to get about ou crutches; my eye
came back egniu as good as ever, and now,
of ttr the use of eight boxes of the pills at a
cost of ouly f4.U0 see! lean, with the help
of a cane only, walk all about the house and
yard, can saw wood, and on pleasant days I
walk down town. My stomach trouble is
gone; 1 lu ve gained 10 pounds; I feel like a
new man, and wlien the spring opens 1 ex
pect to be able to renew my organ aud piano
ngency . 1 c:innot speak iu too high terms of
Dr. U illiams's Pink Pills for Pale People,
as I know they saved my life after all the
doctors bad given me up as iucurable."
Other citiz.-ns of Oalway, seeing the won
I'erlul cure of Mr. Quaut by the Pink Pills
for Pale People, are using them. Frederick
Sexton, a tulleier from rheumatism, said he
was tinning great benefit from their use, aud
Mr. Sebullz, who hud sultered from chrome
dysentery lor years, said he had taken two
boxes of the pills aud was alreudy cured.
Mr. Quant bad also tried Faith cure, with
experts ot l but tieatment in Albauy and
Greenville, S. C, but with no beneficial re
tults. A number of the more prominent citizens
of Oalway, as Rev, C. E. Herbert, of the
Prmbyterlan church j Prof. James ffl. ICelly,
principal of the aeademyf John P. arid Haf
vey Crouch, attd Frank and Edward Wlllard,
merchants, and manyk others to Whom Mr,
Qitnnt and his so miraculous Cure by the use
of Dr, Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People
are well kntlwrh were pleased to have the
opportunity of bearing testimony to th high
cliaracter of Mr. Quint, and of verifying
tho story of his recovery from the terrible
affliction from which he had for so long a
time been a sufferer.
Truly, the duty rtf the physician I not
to save life, but to heal disease.
The einsrkaltle result from the use of Dr.
Williams's P.nk Pills 111 the case of Mr.
Quant, induced the reporter td make further
inquiries conoerrllng theiii, art I he ascer
tained that thoy are rt t a patent medicine;
in tho sense in which Unit term la generally
used, but a highly scientific preparation, tho
result of years of study and careful experi
ment, They have no r'val as a blood
builder and nerve restorer and havo met
with uniNirallelcd success in tbo treatment
or such diseases as paralysis, rheumatism,
sciatica, St, Vilus's danoe, palpitation of the
heart, that tired feei ng which affect so
many, and nil diseases doiending upon a
watery condition of the blood or shattered
nerves.
Dr. Williams's Pink Pills are also a specific
for trouble peculiar to females, such as sup
pressions, Irregularities, and all forms of
weaknosa. They build up the blood and re
store the glow of health to palo or hallow
cheeks. In the ease of men they affect a
radical enr in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever
nature.
On further inquiry the Writer found that
those pills are manufacture t by Tho Dr.
Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont,
ami Morrlstown, X. Y., and are sold In
boxes (never in bulk by the hundred), at 50
cents a box, or six boxes for t'J.M), and may
be had of all druggists or direct by mail
from Dr. Williams Modicine Co., from
either address. The price at which these
pills are sold makes a course of treatment
comparatively inoxpenslveas compared with
other remedios, or medical treatment.
' FerlU On the Ocean.
Tbe Washington pntent office alone
contains some fifty dincrcut models of
swimming belts, cork jackets, life buoys,
surf boats, llfo boats ami dnngor signals,
and, considering the elaboration of
marina cliatts anil safety arrangements in
naval architecture, it seems rather strange
that the number of shipwrecks of the
northern hemisphere (not including the
Gulf of Persia or tbo China Sea) should
reach the enormous avcrngo of 2100 a
yenr, involving a loss of 6000 lives.
The fact is that new ocean perils turn
tip a fast as tho contrivances intended
for their prevention.
Tbo very speed of Grst-cluss passenger
steamers increase the fatality of such
disasters, asserts Felix Oiwaltt In tho
(Jhautauqtinn.
Another ucw demerit of danger has
arisen from tho fact that the civilization
of the American continent is working its
way farther and further up north, involv
ing the establishment of steamer lines
across the drift of polar icebergs.
Ocean rneers, indeed, have become as
unavoidable ovils as storms aud sea fogs,
nud a plutility of passengers may con
tinue to accept them as preferable altern
atives, but considering tho protests ot
an influential minority it seem bard to
understand why their risk has not at
least been modified in the way proposed
by Professor Marquard, of llnmborg, and
Captain do.Ja Uariiic, of the Belgian
navy, viz., tho uso of "companion
steamers." In nine out of ten casus tbe
worst consequences of shipwreck could
have been averted if moro efficient belp
than that of frail lifeboats had been near
at hand, and as the chance against tho
probability of both vessels being wrecko j
nt the same time would be as a thousand
to ono, tbo popularity of tho flecttest
"ocean greyhound" would be eclipsed
by the plan of letting passenger steamers
start pairwiso and keep up communica
tion by means of signal lights and fog
bells.
Cost of Keeping a Warship.
Tbe first cost of a first class battle -ship
is only a very small part of the expense
which it entails upon tho nation, ships
like the Chicago, Baltimore and Phila
delphia carry ubout thirty officers, 300 en
listed men, and a mariue corps of from
forty to sixty men and officers. Tho
officers of a first class ship of tho line aro
tho following: Captain, lieutenant com
mander, four lieutenants, ono junior
lieutenant, two eosigus, nine naval
cadets, medical inspector, surgeon, pay
uiaster,chief engincer.assistant engineer.
chaplain, captain of the murines, gunner
and carpenter. Ibo expense of main
taining a first class modern cruiser, pay
of officers and men, coal, repairs and
general supplies, is estimated at $1300
per dav. Ibis is in time of peace. If
fighting is to be done the expense will,
of course, be greatly increased. Repair
ma; run into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars after an engagement, while
the cost of firing one broadside from a
ship like tbe Chicago, 900 pounds ol
metal at one discharge from four guns,
is abowt $600. Picayune.

There's nothing Urfl
of Catarrh, when you use Dr, SageV
Catarrh Ilemedy. With the poison
ous, irritating snuffs and strong",
caustio solutions, a good deal i
left. They may, porhaps, tof it
for a timo, but there's danger of
driving it to the lungs. They work
on false principles.
But Dr. Sage's Remedy" ewe it,
no matter how bad tho case, or of
how lonar standing. Not only Ca
tarrh itself, but Catarrhal Headache',
Cold in the Head everything
catarrhal in its nature. The worst
oases yield to its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties.
So will yours. You may not be
lieve it, but tho proprietors of Dr.
Sage's Remedy .
And to provo it they make you
this offer:
If they can't cure you, they'll
pay you f 500 in cash. It's a busi
ness proposition from a responsible
house.
Hut do you think they'd malie
it if they, and you, coulda t depent
upon their mciliciue ?
