FOR TOBACCO USERS.
ttnrtllnccrncts for tlio Consumers of
tlio Pernicious Clcarotto.
Two new cac3 liavo been added with
n n, few weeks to tlio hundreds already
n record, In which tho Inordinate uso
f tho cigarette has been charged with
producing fatal results. Whothcr the
ihargo is well founded, in tho strictest
icnso of tho phrase, is a question on
vhich doctors and experts must differ,
ut thcro is no disputing tho fact that
t tho appctito for tho cigarette had
icon strangled in theso eases, life would
crtainly have been prolonged. Tim
nto Mr. C. F. Woerishofl'or was an in
ssant cigarotto smoker, and while
tomo of his physicians arc slow to ad
ult that this caused his death, his us
lociatcs who know his habits of life
veil have expressed very emphatic
pinions to tho contrary. In tho other
nstanco tho victim was a newspaper
wy fifteen years old who smoked two
ackagcs of cigarettes beforo his broak
inst, then fell down unconscious and
loamcd at tho mouth. Ho lingorcd for
$ time, but failed to rally, and tho doc
ors admitted that ho diod from nico
Sno poisoning. So general has tho
labit of smoking become in recent
rears that thcro are very few persons
nrho aro not interested in knowing
riiat aro tlio prcciso risks and dangers
lioy incur in indulging in tlio weed.
A prominent physieiun, who is quoted
is nn authority in blood poisoning and
icrvous disordora, said: "Thcro is no
tdago moro truo than that which do
ilarcs that what is ono man's meat is
mother man's poison, ami this has spo
jlal forco when wo speak of tobacco.
Some can not touch tlio weed without
uifloring, while others may uso it with
jerfect safety almost to excess."
"What aro tho evil cd'ecla following
from injudicious smoking?"
"Tho first pcrccptiblo effect is pal
pitation of tho heart, which sometimes
Jccomcs very violent. If the smokor
Iocs not take warning and stop on tho
ippoaranco of this symptom, nausoa,
romitlng and great lassitude will fol
ow. Eventually the troublo will be
lomo chronic, tho throat will grow raw
ind fioro, tho stomach will beeomo un
iblo to retain or digest food, and tho
nost deplorable state of exhaustion
results. Tlio blood is not poisoned,
towovcr, in tlio technical medical sonso
f tho term. II is only an evanescont
poison which will gradually disappear
mdor tonio treatment when tho smok
ng habit is dropped."
"What is the most hurtful form of
udulgonco in tobacco?"
"Ueyond all controversy, tho cigar
Jtto." "For what reason?"
"Tho cigarotto is rosponslblo for nl
nost nil tlio evils caused by tobacco.
Srowing boys commence to uso them
cforo their physical powers aro devol
ved, tlio coating of their stomachs
xieomes ruined nntl their growth stunt
d. They will often become weak,
juny men, and iu tho Interest of hu
manity a stringent law should bo pass
id making it n penal offense for boys
to smoke or for dealers to sell oigar
ittos to them. Such a law is in force
tn Franco. Clgarotts aro so cheap that
ivory boy can procure them, and they
iro now very generally sold In broken
packages, so that they can buy ono or
twoconts' worth. This is nothing short
f criminal. Tho cigarotto is woso than
:h6 cigar or pipo, because the burning
paper, which is often said to bo poison
9 us, adds an extra irritant. Cigarette
imorkors, for some reason, never know
R-Iion to stop, and almost invariably
lrill into excess. Some years ago
showing was all the rage, but it is now
sonsidercd a vulgar habit, and unfor
nmatoly cigarotto-siuoking, which is
!ar moro hurtful, has taken its place."
"Is it true that smoking dims the
ilghtP"
"Smoko affeetft the sight through tho
jptlo nerves, and some few oasis aro on
record whore men have been rendered
Itono blind by the excessive uso of to
jacco, but such eases are vory rare."
Dr. Slirady is a moderate smoker.
Flo said tho oxtont to which a man
jould safely indulgo in the uso ot tobao
;o depended entirely on his tompera
sient and constitution, and that In this
regard, ovory person must bo a law unto
ilmself. It would bo absurd to make
iny goncral rulo. Persons of weak
Iraino and highly norvous temperament
ihould avoid smoking altogether or
ihould bo very abstemious iu the use of
tho weed, in some eases Miioklng may
bo of positive beueiit when not iudulg
Kl In to excess, lie Mild that young
aoya should not be permitted to uso to
bacco iu any form until their systems
tro developed, and was uuqualitied iu
tho denunciation of the cigarette, which
ituntod the growth and impaired the
fltality of the young.
A gontleinan of sedentary habits of
life, who had been a heavy cigarotto
linokor for many years, and who dropp
id tho habit on tho advice of his phy
' ilclan, gave his experience. Ho said!
I found myself indisposed for work,
mablu to rolish my meals, and gen
iraily prostrated, but continued to
iniokri on as usual, never dreaming that
the cigarotto was responsible for my
jonditlon. I consulted several doctors,
A'ho could not divine tho wuiso of my
trouble. At last one of thorn detected
that I was a cigarotto Miiukur, ami told
ate I must make up toy mind to stop,
r to dlo. At this time my heart wus
palpitating ono hundred and twenty to
the minute. I discarded the cigarette,
went under tonic treatment for a few
months, and to-day 1 am as well as
over."
Tho editor of a publication dovotcd
solely to the tobacco interests insisted
that thcro was nothing hurtful in tlio uso
of tobacco, and in proof of his asser
tion cited that smokers and chewers aro
as long-lived as other people Of the
small boy and tho cigarette, ho said:
"Wo have always opposed cigarette
smoking by youths in our columns.
Something should bo dono to prevent
boys from smoking. As a rule, thoso
who indulgo in the vice at nn early ago
become dwarfed in mind and body, and
good-for-nothing men; and their chil
dren, should they livo to havo any,
will bo more offeminato than them
selves. Tho law should step in and
stop this epidemic of juvenile cigarette
smoking." New York Mail and Ex
press. KENTUCKY MOONSHINERS.
How tho Cownrdly Outlaws Mnlc
Wnr Upon Their Opponents.
Tlio scenes enacted in Rowan county
last year which exhausted the judicial
and executive resources of Kentucky
arc being re-enacted on a changed scale
in tho adjoining county of Elliott this
leafy and summery season, writes a
Sinking Creek, Ky., correspondent of
The Cincinnati Enquirer. Tho county
Is named for tho appeliato court judge
who was shot to death by the maniac
Huford in tlio streets of the capital city,
tills state, six years ago. Tlio county
scat is called Sandy Hook, probably bc
causo thcro is a bar there, without,
however, any referenco to ocean navi
gation. The present complication differs from
tho murderous and gory business in
Rowan county only in tlio unimportant
dotail that in tho former tho warcry
was blood, and in Elliott county it is de
struction; llioy bushwhacked in ltowan
county, and non commissioned vandals
run riot iu Elliott.
Tho issuo was drawn two weeks ago,
when Mr. I'nrton, a prominent citizen
of tho county announced himself op
posed to killing United States doputy
marshals, and in favor of no whisky,
or as tlio best compromiso ho would
agree to, thnt manufacturers should
pay tho government a certain sum
yearly, if not per gallon, recognizing in
a manner Uncle Sam's sovereignty and
right to tax.
Mr. I'arton placed himself on the
platform of a law-abiding, taxpaylng,
thoroughly-reconstructed, and patriotic
citizen, but his remarks drew down up
on him tho hatred of tho moonshino
whisky-makers of this godforsaken
country, who havo reveled iu the cheap,
unlawful, and intoxicating mountain
dew since tho timo tho "memory of
man runneth not to tlio contrary,"
without tho intervention of inspection,
taxation, or any other troublosomo
middlemen's mode's, and without re
sorting to thick staves or ignorant and
awkward employes.
From tho timo that speech was dis
sected and thoroughly understood Mr.
I'arton and his adherents were marked
men marked in tho sense that every
man who took tho negative of the prop
osition lie had laid down was camping
on his trail with powder and ball; and
when il is taken Into account that a
Kentucky mountaineer is a suro shot,
it can readily bo soon that this phrase
means toars and crape and grave
yards. Tho party who thought they had a
right guaranteed them by the constitu
tion to got drunk whenever they want
ed to on untaxed whisky considered
that they would lie striking I'arton and
his partisans a blow iu tlio vital part by
burning a baptist church and, by tho
way, tho only ono in tho county of
which I'arton was a communicant.
Thou they burned his house; then pois
oned twenty-eight lioad of his cattle;
then stuck tho torch to the houses of
throo of his partisans viz.: James
Pennington, Tobias Cox, and Samuel
Slater. It was about three small Homes
burning, and nearly one hundred modern-armed
Xoros llddling.
Just along about this junoturo Mr.
I'arton and his friends thought things
were getting serious, nud, banding
themselves, tlioy went gunning for In
cendiaries. Monday noon they camo
up with two men named Simons and
Turkison, and these mon having for
bidding looks and a general air of
don't-earo-a-cont-or-a damn either, they
opened tiro on tho ill-looking agricul
turists, and Messrs. Slmens and Turki
son wore buried without the lonuality
of a coroner's jury.
This is tlio first mountain vendetta in
Kentucky within my knowledge (and I
havo made a btudy of a great many of
them) In which polities did not form the
foundation.
I am afraid that Mr. I'arton and his
law-and-order allies will bo outnumber
ed, ami have a hard timo.
Iu tlio mountains revenge is a motto
branded in the brain of children.
"Vengeanoo is mine; 1 will ropay, saith
tho Lord," is good scripture, but theso
creatures aro suoh slow pay, uud this is
such an easily bottled debt, that they
seem altogether unwilling to strain
their credit by drawing on foreign
counties, so they settle their hate
bills on sight.

mmi AND GARDEN.
Get tho animals designed for meat on
grass.
Never plow up a good sod, as It will
pay best.
Reports from the I'anliandio of Texas
indicates that tho calf crop in that
country is large.
Let no animal bo placed whero it
will bo helplessly threatened by a
stronger one with no chance of escape.
A man may have the best known
breed of fowls, and if they aro not
properly cared for they will not givo
satisfaction.
Now is an excellent time to push
young pigs, as they grow very rapidly
after tlio weather commences to be
come warm.
Celery grown upon a clay soil is
more solid and better llavorcd than
that grown upon muck, but it does not
grow bo tall.
Grass seed is generally covered too
deep. Use a roller or brush harrow, or
else do nothing and let tho tirst rain
cover it in nature's way.
A soil but five inches deep can not
bo worth as much as another that gives
free scope to tlio roots of plants to
whatever depths they may penetrate in
search of nutriment.
A correspondent to the Itural New
Yorker, speaking of tho treo peddler.,
says: "Man can often tell what ho can
do himself, but it is hard to go bonds
for a treo that somebody elso is going
to handle."
I5y keeping land in clover, cutting
the lirst crop and plowing under thu
second, a New York fanner
produced 100 bushels of shelled core
per acre. Tho fertilizer used was a
handful of hen manure around each hill
of corn.
In tho caro of eggs while waiting for
hatching a placo is preferred that is
neither hot nor cold, damp nor dry. If
tho eggs aro to bo kept but a little
while turning them every day will an
swer, a box or basket being sufficient.
Now is the time to prepare for bluo
grass winter pasture. Let it grow
from tli is timo on undisturbed, and for
fall, winter and early spring pasture it
will be worth moro per acre than tlio
everlasting cropping of grain.
If a farmer makes but littlo effort,
and is content to drive an old scrubby
team, and scatter a little fodder to "old
Hrindle," while sunlish hogs and hairy,
worthless sheep complete the livo stock
outfit, that man is a miserablo failure.
The dwarf varieties of celery aro now
preferred over tho taller onos. They
are less expensive to grow as allowing
a greater number of plants to the acre,
are quito as productive, whilo they
bring as much, and often more, iu tho
market.
Tho last month or so of a pig's life
lias a great influence upon the flesh of
tho animal. You can put on tho franio
all through the year, but tho flavor is
largely determined by the feeding dur
the latter period of fattening. Tlio
same is true of all animals.
A Southerner writes to tho Country
Gentleman to say that all cotton seed
fed to stock should be well cooked.
Tlio cooking does away with all injuri
ous effects. Tho writer had used cot
ton seed in his herd for eleven years,
consuming nearly 10,000 bushels in
that time, with no unfavorable results
whatever.
Don't let tlio hogs have access to
brine that has had meat in it. A party
who had Poland-Chinas advertised a
public sale. On the morning appoint
ed a bucketful of beef brine was thrown
into tho lot, and by the time tho crowd
assembled and the auction began sev
oral of tlio hogs were dead and others
wore dying.
Tho Indiana Farmer mentions an
oxperiment reported to tho Hush
County Club, indicating that iu one in
stance at least gate posts .et top-end
down were still s-ound after .seventeen
years, while those placed in tlio usual
position rotted badly. Under another
test "salt put into tlio post holes pre
served the posts, keeping them sound
and dry."
It is impossible, a.s tho Journal vj
Agriculture, to predicate upon the facts
we have, anything at all certain as to
the outcome of tlio wool business this
season. Hut after due consideration of
these facts, it is at least fair to infer
thnt tho average of prices obtainable
will bo little, if any below those re
ceived from the sumo grades in tho last
dx months.
A cold, dump soil, with a hard im
oervious subsoil, is not suitable for a
garden, and beforo it can be properly
utilized should bo well drained. For
garden purposes, if the tile drain has
been laid, tho trenching system is best
for such soils. Any method that per
mits it to rid itself of suplus molsturo,
and allows tho air and heat to enter,
will bo boneticlal.
Tho American Agriculturist advo
cates tho feeding of unthroshed oats
to horses, saying that for grain to bo
well digested it is necessary it should
be eaton with somo sort of stover. Wo
may cut the hay, mix it aud the grain
together, and moisten tho mixture; but
wo accomplish the same thing moro
economically by feeding unthrehed
oats, for then tho grain, all tho chaff
aud a part of the straw aro masticated
together.
