A SOBRIETY BALL,,
MAKING THE DRUNK SOBER.
One of the Purposes Subserved by
Uruesltts In the Early Mora
ine Hours.
The chimes were ringing four o'clock
in the early gray morn as the reporter,
belatetl.cntereda drug-store on Broad
way. The sallow night-clerk was
very tired young man, who evinced a
.strong desire to lie down on the
, marble iloor and take a nap. The
', c.nanse pocketed with some difficulty,
the young man tacked deviously
uuuugii uie aoor into tue dark street
beyond. The night -lerk muttered:
"Another bromide and aromatic."
"What's that?"
"A man who wants to sober up
before he reaches home. Do we have
many of them? Well, I should
smile. They're our best trade from
2 to 5 a. m. And there's a funnv
thing about it. Kegular drunkards
are better customers than occasionals.
Of the former, two-thirds trv tosohnr
,up with drugs before confrbntinz an
. irate wife or mother; of the latter,
only a third go to an apothecary.
Almost all have a limited knowlodge
ui w iiat iney want, out let us deter
mine the quantity to be given. The
favorite potion is bromide of potash
and aromatic ammonia. Another is
bromide and valerian. Old topers
and opium-eaters want laudanum or
morphine in theirs.
"Another class come in perfectly
sober, but desire something to disin
fect their breath or disguise it. Tho
former take soda with coffee-cream
sirup, and the latter aromatic herbs
or strong-flavored confectionery.
Why, for these fellows wo linvo n
special kind of oandv. Thev are
what is known as Imperials, and they
are llavored with clove, cinnamon,
wintergreen, sassafras and other
equally pungent oils. The oddest
customer I have is a chemist, who
has a weekly club meeting. Thov
must be German beer-drinkers, for
when he comes in it's just like a
brewery. He is very systematic, and
takes first what he call's his 'sobriety
ball.' That's bromide, aromatic am
monia and laudanum. He talks ten
or fifteen minutes; to give his stom
ach time to absorb the dose, and then
takes his 'disinfector,' which is coffee
cream soda with two drops of carbolic
acid. He next buys an ounce of Im
perials and departs homeward. By
the time he arrives, he says, he is all
braced up and has a breath like a
new-born babe eating its first candy
stick. I tell him he'll kill himself
with the treatment, but he onlv
answers, 'Death before the tears of a
lovely woman,' and keeps on. He
told me his wife was a T. A. B., but
that she had never tumbled to his
little scheme in five years."
"What is the best wav of sobering
up?"
"Bathe the head and wrists in cold
water and take what I've said. Un
less you are 7ery drunk you can
make yourself all right in half an
hour. There are some earlv birds,
though, who need :t little whisky to
make them sober. It may sound
contradictory,but it's so,nevo"rthcless.
There are wrecks just about one re
move from delirium tremens. They
don't turn up often, but any experi
enced druggist can tell them the mo
ment they enter." New York Sun.
Xot the Cans That Poison Meat.
The first instances of sickness from
eating canned corn beef that ever
attracted any attention occurred in
German', says a Chicago canner.
The beef was canned in Chicago. It
was put up in the old-fashioned way,
with an inch of soldering inside and
out. The German scientists at the
time had discovered little or nothing
in regard to the alkaloids existing in
meats in case of semi-tmtrefaction
that are so largely engaging the at
tention of the scientific world at
present. When they examined the
meat that had occasioned the illness,
and the cans in which it had been
preserved, they could find no other
explanatien of the difficulty than the
large amount of solder. From that
fact alone has grown the belief that
tin can convey poisonous qualities to
meat preserved in it. I tried every
experiment possible with tin cans to
determine whether there was any
truth in this idea, and am satisfied
that there is no ground for its exist
ence. The entire trouble, where
canned meats are found unhealthy,
lies in the fact that they either were
not in good condition when put up,
or that the process was imperfect
and decomposition too slight to be
determined by odor or appearance,
but sufficient to develop danceroua
alkaloids. Chicago News.
From careful researches in Russia,
ICowalewski has found that cereals
grow faster in the north than in the
south. F6r instance, oats and sprinc
wheat take 123 days and barley 110
days to ripen about the southern
province of Kherson, and onlv Q s
and 9S days at Arkhangelsk- in thZ
north. The intermediate romnno
showintermediate differences The
cause' is the greater length of the
daily exposure to sunlight in the
high latitudes, which more than com
pensates for the difference in temnpr.
ature in favor of the southern regions.

Man-Eaters.
One vicious, expressionless eve.
t says a writer in the New York Post,
was cast slightly upward, and as the
shark moved slowlv alontr his entire
form was visible. About the head
swam several of the famous pilot
fish (naucrate3). They were con
tinually darting at objects on the
surface of the water; then running
nimbly after their great friend, as if
to tell the news, and taking up their
position by the side of the gills.
The skipper had baited the hook
with a twelve-pound grouper, and
making it fast to a piece of wood that
would allow the bait to drop ten feet
irom tne surtace, tossed it over. The
shark had disappeared, but in ten
minutes he was seen swimming
towards the smack again, and finally
ran foul of the bait, and I distinctly
saw him take it. There was no turn
ing on the back ; he seemed to sink
below it, and took it without turnintr
in the slightest, and moved off witli
the same measured swing.
The skipper slacked out the line
gradually until about thirty feet had
gone; then taking a brace against
the rail, allowed it to come taut,
and jerked tho hook into the thief.
Luckily he dropped the line, as the
jerk that came in response to his
would have started an ox, and the
line went hissing over the rail so fast
mat u coum not be loiiowed bj' the
eye. "Let him have all he wants,"
said the skipper; "the more line, the
quicker I'll down him."
Then ensued a struggle that would
have made some of the hand-liners
of the northern fishing banks open
their eyes. When the lino (or rope)
had gone out nearly two-thirds of its
length the fisherman skillfully caught
it with a belaying pin, and so gradu
ally reuucea tne speed of tho fish.
Finally, throwing off the pin, he
seized the line in his hands and ran
forward, then aft, taking in the slack
so gained. Then the shark would go
straight away, taking him to the rail,
and the belaying pin would be
adopted again as a soother. Four or
five such rushes as this evidently had
a very decided effect on the great
fish.
The shark gave some terrific lunges
as ma neau was nauied out of water,
and at my request a block and tackle
was rigged and he was hauled on
deck and dispatched by a blow on
the head. I watched particularly for
the pilot fish as ho came up. The
little striped creatures darted wildly
about as if bewildered, and then
disappeared beneath the bottom of
the smack, evidently thinking they
had found another companion. There
were other attendants of the shark
that did not desert it. I noticed
them about in the water, long, black,
snake-like creatures about a foot in
length, and when the shark was
hauled from its native element, they
came with it, adhering to its sides
and presenting a strange contrast.
The fish were remoras, the echenei
nus of the naturalists. They may bo
termed boarders, to a certain extent,
as they live about the body of a
shark and I have seen them on a
large porgy, and also clingins to a
turtle. They have upon the upper
side of the head a remarkable sucker,
composed of parallel plates, so that
they can attach themselves at any
time. So firm a hold did thev tako
that it was with difficulty that I
pulled them off, using considerable
force.
The Mosquito Not 3Iade In Tain.
A lady whom I know, and who
resides about twelve miles from the
city, has two children, whose blood
was, up to a few weeks ago, in a very
bad condition. Various" medicines
were tried, with no effect, but singu
lar to relate, tho children were, soon
after arriving at their summer home,
literally covered with mosquito bites,
wime tne parents were scarcely
troubled by them. In a week or so
they began to mend, and in less than
six weeks they grew fat and healthy,
and as they thrived the mosquitoes
became less troublesome. To-day
they are as fat and healthy as any
children of the sameage, and the mar
velous change is ascribed to the be
neficent influences of the New Jersey
pest. "3Ian About Town," in New
York Star.
An Internal IteTOlutiou
Which enables the .stomach to throw off the
yoke of dyspepsia, is effected through theald
ofllostetter's Stomach Hitters, a moat effi
cient ally in warring with all disorders which
affc:t the digestive organs, the liver and the
bowels. When the dpeptic experiences
heartburn, wind on the .stomach, or any of
the other familiar symptoms of his malady,
a wineglass full of this matchless .stomachic
will dbshtate them, and a pursuance of the
remedy bring about a cure. Coustiuation
and biliousness, evils to the relief of which
aperients and cathartics are inadequate, also
yield to this tine alterative. The restora
tion of appetite and nightly repose, and the
disappearance of those nervous .symptoms
that habitually annoy the chronic sufferer
from dyspepsia, also ensue upon the use of
the Bitters, which Is likewise a standard
remedy and preventative of fever and ague,
rheumatism, kidney and bladder troubles,
and debility.

He Was Xo Goose.
Mrs. Maroney, of Middle Alton,
kept geese. It so happened that
when a setting was withm a few days
of being "fit to pick," the goose
w men was covering the eggs became
sick and died. No female bird could
be induced to remain upon the eggs,
and the good old lady who owned
tho fowl abandoned all hope of secur
ing the "clutch." A gander, which
seemed to realize the situation fnllv.
and who labored hard to induce some
of the other birds to complete the
job, finally undertook the job him
self. Mrs. Maroney could hardly be
lieve her senses, and was ten times
more surprised with the freak than
was Balaam when the ass1 spake unto
him, as narrated in the Bible. The
neighbors were called in, and a pub
lic discussion held within earshot of
tho gander, who appeared wholly
unconcerned and determined to hold
his base until his progeny came peep
ing forth, no matter what people
might say. And he did, too; within
a few days the required tima w:u
completed", and Mrs. Maronev
thanks to her gander had as fine a
"clutch" of goslins as ever went
swimming in Horseshoe Pond. Al
