The popular interest In the question of alcohol seems to render it desirable that the pos.tion of physicians who mse this agent in disease should be clearly defined. Taking fever as an ex jample, pli)sicians give alcohol simply as a readi'.y-oxidiable carbohydrate aud not for what is commonly known as an alcoholic stimulant effect. Although, in certain cases it may be given very largely, it is stop;ed or the dose is di minished wheticver the slightest indica tion is apparent. It would be difficult to find an Instance of the alcholic habit directly referable to the use of alcohol in fever; aud. Indeed, asf-trasthe habit is coucerued, it woul I le much more logical to condemn opium than alcohol. io physician would be willing to eli minate opium from his materia medica. Those who refuse to administer alco hol under any circumstances deprive themselves of an agent that is often most poteut for good, and must occa sionally sacrifice life to what the ma jority of intelligent physicians regard ai a prejudice.

MEN WHO NEVER SLEEP. Thr.IHn lncld.nt, In th. Llf. of an ! American Detective. i One of the best-known detectives lu (he United States, after repeated soli citations by a reporter consented to talk about the business. "There is all the difference In the world," he said, "between the methols used by the secret service agents of dif ferent countries. 1'eople wlio read Fiench novels have au idea that the disguises spoken of in them as being woiu by the Lecogs of the different stories are something utterly untrue. Strange as it may seem, however, it is true. "A French detective who can not so disguise himself that his superior can Dot recognize him could not find em ployment iu any detective bureau. The U I --guises) are wonderful, too. and even the strong light of day s'iows no im perfection in them. "There are two sorts of detectives iu Fia-ce State detectives aud the mu nicipal or city force. Among the for mer uo one knows who his fellow de tectives are, and as they never woik in pairs, the ne:essity for knowiug each other is not so great. The wordings of the French bureau is very thorough and more like the American method than Uie English "The Litter never think or disguising themselves, and go to work openly. If a bank is ribbed in i ranee a new as- iistant teller or clerk appears lu the bank a day or so afterward, lie is a dtectlve, of course, and where in England the dete: tive would be called In in front of all the employes aud ak them all manner of juestioi.s, the French would say not bin;, and noth- ing more would probably be heard of the lob'iery until the luiel was caugm. "The Euglish have a great sjsleni of stoo'. -pigeons. Among the vicious of all classes, male and female, are alwajs ftyi.se to be found who, for the sake of being protecti d In a certain way, carry all tl e news or the crooked work done among the swell mobsmen, as high class thieves are called, to Scotlaud Yard, where is situated the Criminal Investigation llureau. If 'Harry, the swell,' is flashing a great deal of money about the fact is at once reports to the polu-e, and ir any large forgery or nbbery s reieuily occurred. 'Harry the Swell.' is liable to j rove an alibi. Inside the great iKirtico of Scotland Yard isa large as; containing the pho tographs of ail the d. tectivrs employed bv the bureau, and the crooks or thieves can have free access at any time to study the faces of thosj who are liable to be after them at some futuie time. This siool-pltfeou s;.stem 's not useJ much iu America, as the police do not put much faith iu it. "In France ir England, If the e plojei fa big banking house is susjiec led of irregu'artties his habits are watched aud the facts are ascertained, w iiile in America a mail will b. set on the track or the snpi-ostd thief, make his acquaintance ana ingratute him self into the suspected man's conti dence. He will spend as much or more money than the suspect, aud ill go into aii dissipation with him. Iu the event of irregularities in any large con cern, the American detective becomes an employe of the corporation whether as a porter or a director of a bai.k. The clew and the working up of it a made much more of by an American than by any one else. He will jump at conclusions frcin a faint something, and frequently hit the maik; where the stolid ISriti.-her would be stumbling in the dark. "To be a good detective a man must be possessed of courage, brains and coolness. There Is no mystery, how ever impenetrable it may appear, but what can be solved if the right methods are einp'oye-J. There was a case I re member iu Chicago. "A well-known business man was found murdered in his office. The crime had evidently beeu committed the night before, tor the body had been cold a long time, and the man's family bad waited forhlni to come to his home the evening previous. His valuables had been taken, the safe had beeu litlcJ, aud beyond the ghastly bullet-hole iu the man's head, there was nothing to Indicate with what the crime had been committed. 'o pistol was feund. -I was put on the ca9e and reasoned that as the robbery was evidently con mitted for gain the murderer must be ia poor circumstances. I visited all the pawn shops in the city, aud found that five revolver had been pawned between six o'clock the previous even ing and the morning. There w re 4 -caliber, the size evidently used to kill the man. Two or the men were well dressed and the other wasn't. The lat ter was described to me, and I took the pawnbroker down to the different rail way depots where trains were leaving. We went through three train, aud finally located the man iu a smoking car. I arrested hi.u. and much of the dead man's property was found iu his possession, it's not much of a story if the man ham t pawued the pistol ne would certainly have gotten off, but It shows how much little things amount to!j aud will give you an idea of how a detective will go to work, 'The life of a detective is startling enough, but it gets tiresome aud mono tonous, and 1 expect soon to retire, l remeuiler one case tliat happened iu New York. A swell receptioa was given by one of the leaders of s -ciety. One of the guests had laid a valuable solitaire in the ladies' dressing-room on the wash-stand, and forgetting It, had left it. Cn her retnrn to find it, it had, of course, disapjeared. Noboiiy knew where It was. lhe trunks or an me , servants were se-irched, but no trace t could Le found of the jewel, which was worth $4,1)00. I finally found It where it had been pawued for $X)J iu a paw nshop by a French woman. I toot the visiting list of the hostrss, aud finallv, after a week's search, found that one of the guests, a rich woman. bad a French maid, and that she had gone to Europe shortly after the recep- ; t on. "I had to wait for her return, made the acquaintance of the maid aud took fcer to lhe pawnbroker's, where he Iden- tltied ber. She confessed and her mis tress redtemed the diamond and paid all the expenses. I never told on her. "You see also that pawnbrokers are intportant factors in cur business, and that they are frequently of service in detecting crime. Still, pawnbrokers encourage robbers, for if there were no shops the temptation to steal would not be so great. "It's a singular business in eveiy way," coucluded tbe thief-taker. "Fas cinating In many ways, but like every thing else, one gets tired of it." The simplest way to moderate the glare of the light of incandescent lamps without losing too much of i's lighting power Is, according to the EUctrbche Anxeigcr, to give tbe globes a thin coating of collodion. With a littl- practice the uniform distr.bution of the collodion over th whole surface is soon achieved. llesa'es simplicity and cheapness this method piesents the additional advantage that the coat is easv to remove with water. In cou ueAion with this communication the tolutmhtkxKhs Jt'tAtzMtU rocoiumeuds to paint the lamps over with a sjluti in of a salt, wheieby they are covered by a coat of fine crytals. These innum erable cry s'als effect a diffusion of the l'ght without materially uiminlshing its intensify. Salts of lead and tin are thought to be the mcst suitable for this purpose, but 1 1 ter material may be found more convenient. FARM JfOTES. A CON'TEX-EXT CtaW. Boom. A convenient curing io cheese is necessarily ou iu k of the factory ana separaieu nvm u.c making apartment by a tight partition The partition should be of matched lumber fitting closely to the floor and to ceiling. Such a wall proierly put up will exclude alt steam and damp heat from the curing cheeses that till the air of the adjoining room. As the new cheeses are taken from the hoojis each morning they can be easily rolled on a truck to the shelves assigned for them. If the loft of the building is used for brought into requisition, as few facto 1 ries employ elevators, and thus is always a tedious and slow job. but it Is not convenience alone that gives the ground i curing room a great advantage over the ! elevated one. Curing cheeses demand ' an even temperature, and it is next to imiossible to preserve one under a hot roor. The old method of oiening the j windows is detrimental, as the entering breezes crack the surface and retard tin process of fermentation in the new stock. A model curing room, therefore, must combine convenience aud adaptability. It requires something besides age to ma ture a chese; it must have an even temperature of at least seventy-five de grees. A few hundred cheeses together i in a room will matually aid in curing eaeh other, hence the advantage of luus-s-lng new stocK. The curing room de scribed should be plastered on the three outside walls, and circulation admitted froni the top cf the windows. 1 he most convenient counters are not sta tionery but simply long, stoutly con structed lablei of two boards each eigh teen inches in width. This will allow cheeses to lie arranged in two courses. ali the wide boards, which should be of hard wood ll ned smooth, will pre vent chi-eses resting over a crack and ridging the surface. The tables can all le laid back out of the way when the room is empty. When oieratioi!S be Siu the tables in the rear are tilled first ; the hand truck can be run freely lrom the presses to the l-ack of the room, ami tables filled in the front as space is needed. Site Essi ve Crops The iroer way to manage a garden plot is to keep some crop growing in It from spr ng until the frosts appear late in the fall r-everal objects will be gained by so doing, among them the destruction of old weeds, a il'ier condition of the soil, aud a supply of fruits aud vegetables for the table, as many vegetables grow quickly and give a supply in a short tune after the seed is planted. As sojn as the early peas are off late potatws should take their place, and early cal Uige may be followed by turniis. If the first 'crop of radishes are removed t:-y will make room for stiin; leans, ind kale can lie cleaned off for a Liter crop of e;is. IVas; string beans, rad ishes, late beets and cabbage can be p'anted at any time, aud if projer varieties be selected there is nothing to prevent a continual supp.'y. Garden work can be made us Iinxi t int now as in the spr.ng, and in putting down suc cessive crops the weeds will have no chance to grow. Iu fact, every addi tional crop les-ens the number of weeds to 1 killetL Such crop-t as lima ln-ans may be growii along the line of the fence, esjiecially if the fence Is of wire. To keep tomatces, late cabbage, turnip and lima beans iu good growing condi tion the ground should be clean, which, of course, benefits the crops and keeps down the weeds. The work iu the garden is mostly done in the spring, and the seed is tare fully planted, the ground kept clean, the early crops taken off and the ground abandoned to weeds. One of the most unsightly objects is a plot of ground overgrow n with weeds ; aud as the gar d u plot is usually made rich the weeds grow very rank and soon mature. As they are allowed to die down, and the ground cleared off the next spring, the lesu'.t is that the ground is so covered with seeds that it is almost impossible to eradicate the weeds the succeeding year. .Leaving the garden in such con ilitiou also affords excellent opportuni ties to inects of all kinds, and the draw backs, are, therefore, multiplied. A Good Ego Food Now here you have what many a poultry keeper wants whether he or she be in town or country a recipe for the preparation of su pe ri or egg food. It is furnished by Mr. Jajnes Ilarikin, one of the mot success ful raisers in the land. Listen and note: Ten jiounds of the best beef scraps, five ounds of fine ground bone, two pounds of granulated or powdered charcoal, one pound of sulpher, two ounces of Cayenne pepier, and four ounces of salt. Hive it in the soft food. It is said by those who have tried it to give excel lent results, and to be worth more than inanv of the much more costly egg foods w liich are placed upon the market. Sw fet potato plants should now be spreading, aud unless they are cultivat ed the task will be more difficult after the vines cover the ground. Tney should be hilled up in order to avoid heavy rains. It is not too late to replant the missing places if a handful of fertil izer be scattered around the plants that may be set out. The best time to use the cultivator is on warm, dry days. Ail weeds and grass will then be quickly killed by the sun, and will have no opportunity to take root and grow. If the ground is damp when it is cultivated the weeds and grass will not be entirely destroyed and the work may have to be done over again. I'lant turnip seed. The ground is in excellent condition, being damp, and the seed should germinate quickly. As soon as the young plants throw out leaves scatter wood ashes along the row. Give the crop extra attention when the plants are young, and but little work w ill be lequired later on. Filthy quarters cause lice on all classes of stock, and at this season the vermin multiulv very rauldir. An animal that is infested with vermin cannot be kept in good condition, even with the best of feeding. The hens will now begin to moult. Keep the hens that moult early, as they will lay in winter, late pullets will seldom lay before next spring, but pul lets hatched not later than April should lay in ovember. Horses should have at least two hours rest at noon. On very warm days horses suffer severely. They should be watered often, and at night should be swabbed and wiped dry. Mis of more experience do not fret themselves because of evil-doers; they simply keep quiet and investigate. No Cse.

This condensation is effected by robbing the steam of a por tion of its heat by air passing rapiuij through the open tubes, and the con densed water is pumied back into a hijrh-Dressure boiler, there to be again couverted into steam, saving bolh heat and w ater. Wood, coke or hard coal can be used, and very little smoke Is perceptible. Traction wheels are useu on the trues, giving great uuk8o over the ordinary locomotive.

Germain See and Gley at the Academy of Sciences in February last on the results with antipyriu on dia betic patients induced M. Panas to try the efficacy of autipyrin in the treat ment of diabetis in connection with cat aract. 1 wo men were treated by him. one a man aged 38, affected with bila teral cataract of two years standing, and who was ut the same time a ilia- betlc; the other was a woman of 73 years, of a delicate constitution, dia betic for six years, very nervous, and who presentel a double cataract, that in the left eye being complete. After the ad m: ii ist ration of autipyrin iu dotes of forty-five grains ir day during one week, the sugar fell from five drachms to onj drachm. It was under these conditions that M. l'auas proceeded to opeia'e for cataract, at the same time recommending the patient to continue to take thirty grains of antipyiin p r day. From tl ese cases M. Panas con cluded: L That autipyrin possessed an anlrglycogenic action both prompt and efficacious. 2. That it has suc ceeded iu those cases in which neither the diet nor the drugs employed had succeeded in leducing the proportion of the glucose Tut low a given quantity. 3. That for :t to be efficacious it is necessary that the daily dose at first should consist of forty-five grains. 4. That the effect became evident even when the patients were allowed to con tinue a moderate proportion of farina ceous substances. A vtu: source of electricity ha) been discovered by Professor Braun, of Tubingen. Hitherto it was found im- p ssible to transform mechanical woik direct into eltctriclty. The German proressor says that he has succeeded in do'iig this. Physicists have known for some time that currents may be pro duced in metal wires by bending them. Professor Btaun has found that nickel wire develops the sttongest currents by winding it into a spiral and connecting its ends with a delicata measuring ap paratus (multiplicator). The p inter of the multiplicator deflected consider ably according as the spiral was elon gated or compressed, showing that relatively strong currents were created; ll-e current llowiug dufilug the elonga tion of the spiral iu a direction op)Ksite to that in which the wire had beeu run in its passage through the draw plate. The interest iu the tihenomena obseived will be enhanced as soon ai there is a prospect of increasing the strength of the currents to a degree which will Gli der them available for practical pur poses. As Professor Braun has suc ceeded in p; ttlug in circuit a number of spirals like gdvanic elements, and thus obtaining strouger currents, there is a probability of constructing engines which will perform useful work.

A Georgia journal is responsible for the follow ing: A handsome and intelli gent collie dog belongs to John Boms Moore, of Augusta, and makes his home with him for the most part. During the September freshet the dog was caught by the high tide lu Broad street, and, though a good swimmer, he could not make headway against the switt current surging down Broad way. He caught iu some brush or tim bers near laudram & Butler's store, and while there lu durance and in con siderable iril, he was rescued by Mr. Landram, taken to the second door and fed for two or three days until after the wattr subsided. Collie then went on his way rejoicing. So far the honors ore iu fav- r of Mr. Landram; and now conies the story of a dog's appreciation and taie Intelligence. Every day since the flood that dog has trotted around from Greene street, in fact, twice each day, aud rush ng past clerks and cus tomers, he calls on Mr. Landram and ealutes him with grinning tee'h and bowing head and wagging tail. He then curls up at his feet, goes to sleep, and, after his nap, bows again and re turns home. This interchange of civ ilities between man and dog is always Interesting. And the story does not stop here. Last fall Mr. Landram weut North to purchase his regular stock of dry goods, and as soon as the dog not ced his absence from the store he sojght some other way of showing his gratitude. And here is the strang est part of the wonderful story: Al though the dog had never been known le'ore to stop at Mr. Laud ram's house, he look up his station that night on the back piazza of the residence, and there he remained till the cook came in the morning to open the house. Collie theu left, satisfied that all was right: and this nightly visit and guard be main tained until his daily visits to the slore told him that Mr. Landram was back home to protect h's own house at u'ght.

She held up her hand to the conductor to stop the car, but he was in no hurry about it and waited until it reached the cross ing. "Didn't I signal you to stop the car back there?" she demanded. "You did, madam." "Then w hy didn't you stop it?" "Against orders, ma'am; we stop only at crossings." "Who gave those orders?" "The manager." "Is the manager on the car? "Xo, ma'am." "And I can't see him?" "Not unless you go to the oflice." "Very w ell, 1 w ithdraw my patronage from this line.

The story is told of a servant girl away out in Denver who was blissfully ignorant of the customs of any other country besides her own. One time a certain Duke of Engluid who was traveling in this country visit ed the servant girl's mistress, who was a lady of wealth and refinement. His Grace, on retiring the first night, re quested to be called early, as he desired to sniff the ozone of the morning breeze.

Fully 09 persons in every 100, if asked to name the most precious metals, would meutiou gold as first, platinum as second and siwr as third. If asked to name other-, a few might add nickel, aud a very few aluminum, to the list. Let u see ho near to the truth they would be. Gold is worth about 240 per pound, troy; platinum, Sl.'lO, and silver about $12. Xickel would be quoted at about 00 cents, and pure aluminum fS to $9 to the troy ound. W'e will now compare the.-e pricis with those of the rarer and less well known of the metals. To take them lu alphabetical order, barium sells for 5'.i7." a pound, when it is sold at all, an I calcium Is worth S1S00 a pound. Ceri um is a shade higher its cost is;100 an ounce, or ?H)20 a pound. Thee leg 11 to look like fabulous prices, but they do not rc.ich t!.e liigli et ioi!it; cluomium brings S20-J0. cobalt falls to about half the price ui silver, while dldymiuin is the Kim price as cerium, and erbium $10 cheaiier on the ounce than calcium, or Just 1GS8 per pound. Glucinum is worth $2."0 ier ounce; Indium, $158, Iridium, $053 a imjuikI; lasthaniuin, $175, aud lithium, $lji.t lr ounce. Niobium costs $1:8 i-r ounce, a-iniuii), palladium, platinum, potassum and rhodium bring resjxH--tively $O10, $400, $130, $32 an I $512 per pound. Strontium costs $12S an ounce; tantaum, $144; telurlum, thorium, $272; vanadium, $-120; ytt rium, $144, aud zirconium, $250 au ounce. Thus we see that the commonly le- eived opinion as to what are the most precious metals is qu te erron-us. lUiium is tr.ore than four times as va'uable as gold, and gallium more than 102 times as costly, while many of the metals are twice and thrice as valuable. Aluminum, which now costs $.3 or $9 a pound, wi'l eventually be produced as cheaply as steel. "When this can be done it will push the latter metal out of a great many of its pres ent uses, as it possesses great strength, toughness and elasticity, with extreme lightness of weight. Its sources of supply are iiiexlinustible, and its present high cost arises from the dinVulty f its extraction in a metallic form. Iri dium seems to be chiefly used for pointing gold pens, and many of the metals mentioned have but a limited sphere of usefulness. Xo Publisher. Poet i You say you can't read my po?ms?
