If any one wishes to grow fleshy, a pint ot milk taken on retiring at night will soon cover the scrawniest bonea. Although we see a good many fleshy persons nowadays, there are a great many lean and lank ones, who sigh for tho fashionable measure of plumpness, and who would be vast ly improved in health and appear--Oi.ce could their forms be rounded with good solid fl. sh. Nothing :s more coveted by a thin woman that a figure, and r.otbing will so rise the ire and provoke tho scandal of the "clipper-build" as the consciousness of plumpness in a rival. In case of fever and summer complaint, milk is now given with excellent results.

TiiMPEEANOE COLUMN. (Written by a special correspondent.) WHIS2Y FINAN32. As some men cannot see into a j proposition only from a financial stand-point the following extract from the National Temperance Al manac or the statistics of intemper ance, is offered to them for their con templation: 4 Tlire are 175,2G3 places in the United Stales where alcoholic bev i rasjes are sold, 5,652 distilleries and 3,830 breweries, according to othcial reports. The direct cost of this liquor is over $700,000,000, with an indirect cost ot over $700,000,000 more. To make this liquor it took 13,985,7-15 bushels of corn, 2,838,933 bushels of rye, and 2,801,307 gallons of molasses. All this material is tak en from its rightful and legitimate use and worse than wasted. The le venue paid to the Government for the year ending June, 1879. for dis tilled and fermented liquors was I $63,299,604 77, all of which came out of the pockets of the poor drink ; ers. i James Black, E.-q., in an address , to the Cleveland Convention las!;. June, gave'tho following summary of j statistics: Our partisan statesmen and leaders in their mad effort to secure or re lam place and power, give no atten tion to the diain upon producing I power and w-qste of resources occa j sioned by the use and trade in in toxicating drinks. There is prob : ably no one factor in all the range of ! political economy so burdensome, or j so destructive of wealth, as is that of j the liquor trade. Dt. Edward Young, Chief of the Bureau of Statistics at Washington, in 1SC7 estimated the I cost of liquors to the consumers of j the nation to be about $000,000,000. Dr. Hargreaves' calculation "Wai ted Iti sources," page 48 makes the cost, in 1872, 835,720,048; adding the consequential to the direct cost, and the annual drain is about $1, 500,000,000. Taking the basis of Dr. Young, Dr. Hargreaves shows "Wasted Resonfces," pages 44 45 the annual cost For intoxicating bev erages in the United States was-nearly one-sixth of the value of its man ufactures, which in 1870, by thecen sus returns, tere $4,232,325,442; one-fourth of afetlie farm -productions, betterments, ami additions of stock (in that; year valued at $2,447, -508,658), all the slaughtered animals, home manufactures, forest products market-ga den and orchard products '(which were in value $527,232,403) were 02,182;707 less than the cost of our nation's drink-bHI; that in the same year oar drink-bill was $145, 021,273 more than the value at pi.ce of manufacture (valued at $473,803, 837) of all furniture and house fix tures (except stoves and hollow wear), and L all articles of wear, including boots and shoes, men's, women's and children's clothing, ail the collars, euff, g ovea rnits, has, caps, hosiery, etc., etc., raanufact tir ed in the country. Again, the value of all the food and food preparations of 1S70 was $600,365,571, or $19, 050,539 less than, the cost of drinks. More startling-stiff, Dr. Hargreaves shows page 57 that the cost of liquors for ten years is nearly two third of the assessed value ($9,914, 7S0, 725) of all the real estate in the United States, while the assessed value ($4,264,205'907)- of all the personal properly of the United Slates is but little more than two thirds of our drink bill for ten years. He says; "Because this capital is so misspent, our jails are tilled with criminals, our poorhouses with pau pers, our asylums, homes, and char ities with dependents, and our :u dnstrious, sober citizens burdened with taxes that would not be needed but for this waste of liquors. What, nation or people can long exist or prosper who expend or .wa.-te the value ef so much labor for poisonous drinks ?" A THEEr-YSAK-OLD BOY. ''What shall I do ?" writes one who signs herself a "distracted young mother." "My pretty house, once almost a model so far as order and. neatness were concerned, is exactly the reverse on account, of the de, redationa ol a boy of three years old." It may be a comfori to the "dis tracted mother" to know that a first child in a house frequently produces these results, but it rarely happei s with a second child. The mother learns through grief that very early in the baby's life he must be taught to let things alone, and I believe it is a mistaken notion to clear a room of books, bric-a-brac, etc., at ll ad veu t of a boy. A child should be accustomed to these things, aud ac customed to let them alone until old enough to handle them properly. Ii is not too mu di to say that most of tho true and excellent housewife's methods are developed after th manner in which Donatello gained a moral nature, through grief if not through crime. It often occurs to me to pity a first boy instead of the. young mother, on account of the ex periments which are and must be tried upon him. It is possible to leach even the first baby to keep his "hands off." If the first offence is pnnished and an impression ot wrong doing fixed in the rnind, the task o! teaching will grow less and less. AN IKC3ZIPSTS-HT BOY. Last Fall a Baltimore hardware dealer, who had a bill against a b' icksu lib in an ad'acent village, sent it out by his collector for payment. Upon arriving in the i!ia;e the collecior found the sl:o';rbnt not "the smith, after a long hunt discovered him on his own doorstep, elbows on his knees and chin on his hands, "I pays no bills," replied the smith as the account was handed him. ."Why, what's the matter, Mr. Coon?" "Veil, der matter tsh dot I haf fail ed in pee.-ntss and I don't pay no pody." "Failed! Have you actually fail ed?" "I haf." "Well, you'll have to pay me in full just the same. Under the laws ot this State no man can fail tin! ers he locks his doors, and as I passed the siioti yours were wide open.', "Dander and biilzen! dot v'nas the carelessness of my poy Show. How much dot pill? I pays him qneek and. and runs down mid nails opp der doors myself! Dander! bud dot poy Defer makes a Yankee if he Kfs here a thousand years!"- Wc.ll Street Nicies StBgalai CclncISsaco. An Austin youth has been paying his addresses to a young lady, under the impression that she was wealthy. Finally she told him promptly that the bank had failed, and that she wan penniless, after which his attention- slackened Bp. A few days Ago she said to him: "Dear Gerg- it seems to me that since you found out I am only a poor girl you have ceased to love me." "You don't say so!" rejoined the candid youth; "do yon knew that the very same idea has occurred to me?" E07 TO DETECT DIPHTHERIA. An exchange has the following from a well known physician. "I was called out of bed past midnight lo go four miles in th-j country and attend what 'he messenger stated a bad case of diphtheria." "And you went?" "Had to. "When I arrived I found a ten year-old girl crying with a sore throat. I looked at it, ask d the girl some questions, and found that she had done a big wash ing that day. Had a little cold nothing else." "How can you tell the difference?" "I'll give you a rule by which you can always de termine," was the response. "If the throat is red and smaller, no fear of diphtheria; but if it looks as though 8o ne one had thrown a hand-full of ashes into the throat a dull gray color look out. It's diphtheria's danger sijna!," For aalr. For a tona time there has been in the Gazette office an over abundant supply of typs and printing materi-tl sulScient in many things to furnish a bountiful supply to run about two- such offices. Wo have concluded to offer for sale all of our surplus material-which we do not need.

Written expressly for the Gazette by a celebrated Eastern Scientist. Dr. Reklam considers that headaces and othr consecpuences of sleeping in rooms containing flowers do not arise from any special prnjrties of the flowers them selves, but are due to a straining of the nerves of smell ia the presence of perfumes for an unwonted length of time. The effect is tii al goas to that produced upon the eyes by a:i unusual exposure to light, r on the eir3 by long-contiaue.l sounds. A owmparwoo of skimmed with unskim med milk has shown Herr . Konig that the former is by far the cheaper and more nutritious food for adults. It also appears Jiat, in German markets, the price paid for the albuminoids in skimmed milk is lower than tiiAt paid for them in any other com mon food except stock-fish. For example, a certain amount of nutritive matter from skimmed milk costs 41.7 pfennigs; whi'e in pork it would cost 71-4; in butter. 81.7; and in eg.-s, 201.2. Mon3. Timiriazeff informs the French Academy that he ha3 found the leaves of plants to be capable of transforming into chemical work as much as forty per cent of the energy absorbed by them fr m the sun's rays. This chemical work is the locking up in plant tissue of a groat quantify of solar energy, which remains ready to servo whomever sh all liberate it, the leaf being the wonderful storage battery cf nature which bottles the sunbeams so securely that we are able to apply them at pleasure to heating our furnaces, driving our engines aud sustaining ouV bodies. Horr Jen3en affirms that potato-disease, which ia caused by a fungus, iirst attacks the tops of tho plants, and is conveyed to the tubers by means of spores washed into the soil by rain. To prevent the infection of the tubers he recommends running a plow between the rows so as to turn up a furrow on the top of the hills, and then bending the plants over the furrow. This causes the water which washes the tops to run away from the hills. The furrowing shoald bo done on the first appearance of the dis ease, and,-as a further precaution, the pota toes should not be dug for at least two cr three weeks after the tops are entirely wilted. A trial of this method lias given very good results. Sir John Subbock states that more than a thousand species of ants are known, aud that i3 certainly far short of the number actually in existence. The solar eclipse of May 17. 1901, will exceed that of the present year in it3 total phase by about half a minute. The sun will be entirely covered for a period of six min utes and twenty-four seconds at the most favorable point of observation. It is considered remarkable that loproy, which the progress of civilization has driv en from most parts of Europe, should still flourish in Norway. State returns show that such is the case, although the number of lepers in that country has decreased from 2003 at the en ! of 1873 to 13S2 at the end of 1S8Q. The disease is attributed to the use of food particularly fish in an un wholesome condition, and aho to uncleanii nes3. A Parisian ha? announced a new explo sive "pauclastite" whieh he chums to be more powerful than dynamite. For lighting mine3 Mobs. Mangin has proposed the uae of incandescent electric lamps immersed in water contained in glass globes. The safety ot such an apparatus has been demonstrated by placing it in the middle of a balloon idled with hydrogen. The idea has become current that sub marine telegraphic cables do not last more than ten years, but, according to Sir Dan iel Gnoeli, M. P., repairs on one of the At lantic lines last ye:;r showed the cable to be still in good order after a submergence of thirteen years. Some curious stones are found in many parts of Switzerland. They are smooth, flat, evidently hand polished, and are cov ir.d with dots, lines, circles and half-circ!e3. In the opinion of Herr Rodiger, these stones are charts of the country made by prehis toric inhabitants, and he claims to possess a collection of stones picked up in Sotothurn which form together a map of the entire canton. The dots are seen to correspond with towns and villages now in existence, and the lines with roads new open. Even fords and mountain passes are indicated. The stones are mostly discovered at inter vals of about six miles, and at spots where several roads meet. If Herr Uodiger is right in bis conjecture, the yet-existing places whose sites are marked on the stone charts must date from a very early period. In the experience of Herr Willermoz a plentiful application - to s:ckly plants of water heated to about 150 decrees Fahren heit has resulted benetioUlly. He suppO-es that the warn water dissolves away from the roots certain aeid substances which in terfere with the plants' growth 73 Horse. We have received a quantity of treaties on tha hor3e, which we propose to give away to every subscriber paying in ad vane:, f requested, whether personally, or 1 y mail; if by mail send 3 cent stamp to pre- ay postage. This book is well worth the price of the paper 2.50 to any person having horses. The.1 merican Cultivator has the following to say of the treatise: "Kendall's Treatise on the horse is a book of about 90 pages, with paper covers, fully illustrated, and containing aa "lalex and the best treatment of each; a. table giv ing all the principal drugs used for the horse, with the ordinary dose, effects and antidote when a poison, a table with au en graving of the horse's teeth at different age3, with rules for telling the age of the horse; a valuable collection of receipts, ami much other valuable information. In pre- paring copy for this book it was the aim o! j the author to make it as plain as possible for the non-professional readers, and give them information which is of the greatest importance to horsemen, and yet avoiding all technical terms as much as- possible, and also condensing the book as much as pos sible without leaving out the real essential information in treating each subject. Every farmer or horse-owner should own one of these little books. Woodcock & Baldwin, Dealers in Shelf and He3vy ED Ml Stoves and Tinware, 2snc Stove Pipe, Granite ware Etc., Etc., Etc.
