Diseases of t he Potato.
A correspondent of tho Gardener's

of g oas feeding, highc iltivatio:', unnat

Hornaday s»ys in th * Cosmopolitan:
Whnt a wonderful old city it is’ How
bewildering, and how intcre-ting atevery
step! The city is ali on the gr mi d, or
at the \ ory most ir will not average more
than a story a d a hal. in height. Where
the shops a c th; kest, ca h square is an
unbroken s c cssion of wide doorways;
for of eve v shop th t whole end next to
the s'reet takes out bodily. From one
street corner to the next, there is only a
su cessiou of open ended rooms and par
tition walls, with dnk, narrow passages
thrown in here ar.d there. There is no
architecture vis ble, f< r tho houses are so
jammed togeth r that is is impossible to
single out any one in particular without
climbing o:i the roof to see how much it
covers.
If This is not a street in Wonderland it
might as well be. It is only about eight
feet wide, arid manv are less. Thee;\es
ot the houses on each side pro'cet a quar
ter or a third of the wav across t tes’reet,
ami the r -ma ning third in the middla is
very often loosely tover.d over with
beards placed crosswi-e. When the sun
is sh ning he streets are light enough,
but in r i y or cloudy weather they are
very dark and gloomy, and the peculiar
twilight e.iect only adds another e ement
of strangeness to tlies ei:e. T hank good

smooth, gran.te flags: ones, one foot by
three, and being kept very clean, there is

Now and then, however, your wool
gathering is disturbed by a stir and loud
shouting a little way down the street,
and you s e the crowd parting to right
and left. Then you know there is a
sedan chair coming and you take shelter
behind a sign boa d, or in a friendly
doorway, or flatten yourself against a
wdl until the peripatetic nui-ance has
gone by. But the streets are so narrow
that chairs are not very often used. They
move tco slowly; it takes too much
shouting to ch ar the way, and when two
meet in a narr w thoroughfare one has
to be sida tracked before the other can
g. t by. The use of the chair, tbereforo ;
is confine! to l*?y me -chants and officers,
weak women and swell Europeans. For

Fat People and Fluids.
The question whether water is fatten
ing or otherwise has been much dis
cussed. Foime.ly it was generally as
serted that the victims of obesity shou d
moitify t c flesh and reduce the fat by
abstai .ing as much as po sible trom
liquids and remaining in a continual
state of thirst. Latterly t ie opposite
has been a firmed, cud i am told that a
reduction of w. ightis one of the results
claimed by “the hot-water cure,” pro
vided alw ivs that ti e w iter is taken as
hot as possible, painfully hot, and in
great quantities.
Experiment* have been made in Faris
by Dr. Debovc which controvert both
these doctrines. The e experiments in
dicate that, provided the same amount
of solid food i* taken, la ge quantities
of water ma.ee a man neither thinu.-r nor
ialt r. They were carefully made on a
friend who took weighed t uantities of
food da lv, and while these remained
equal doubling the quantity of water
had uomeasu able effect on the weight
o the body. Still, it i3 quite possible
that the old theo-y of thirt cure and the
new theory of hot water cure may both
be,correct. Both violate the
correct. Both violate the na'ural

Catnip is one of the most valuable
plants for bees. The flrwers are lich

raised from the seed, sow i the latter
part of summer or i a ly in the spring.

Jlr. H. ii. Curler, the eminent dairv-

that by changing from summer to winter

A fat man may easily become thinner
by in ur ng bis health. “Banting” is
dunge ous, as many wro have fairly tried
can pro e. The d* llicult problem is to
reduce the fat without reducing the
strength at the same time. A skillful
trainer will unclcrt ike t > bring any man
down to his “fighting weight,” i. e. to
the best con it on for v olcnt exertion;
but a* soon s the discipline of the trainer
is rela ed the obe-ity, when constitu-
tmna', returns; and a lo">g continuance
of high training is murderous. Perhaps
the old prescription, “.veep your mouth
shut and yo ir eyes open.” when followed
with judicious liini .a ions, is tho best.
Fat less, sleep less and walk mo c are
safe in unct : ous,provided they are obeyed
in modi at on.
I r. Debove's conclusi ns apply to

Wet and Dry.
When tho Board of Trade of Chicago
moved from the old business center there
was a rush for ihe old offices vacated by
the nabo's of commerce. After awhile,
the new tenants found the high-priced
rooms didn't pay, and sought all kinds
of excuses to move.
Among these unfortunates were Stubbs
and Stobbs. Each had rented an office,
Stubbs in the basement, Stobbs in the
attic. When the renting agent came
around, Mr. Stubbs announced bis inten
tion of moving. *
“But you can’t doit, you know,” said
the agent.
“Why not ?”
“We’ve got you on a year’s lease.*
“Well, I have reasons for
the case.”
“What reason ?”
“This basement room is damp. The
glue in the desks got so moist they fell
to pieces. The books arc all moldy, and
I’ve got rheumatism from it. I’d ought
to sue you for damages.”
The agent looked seared, muttered
something about “being sorry, move, of
course, if you must,” and went to sec
Mr. Stobbs.
Stobbs surprised him wfth a similar
declaration of intention to move.
“What’s your complaint?” growled
the agent. “Dampness here, too, I sup
pose ?”
“No, sir, just the reverse. Why, sir,
the sun has blistered the floor till it’s all
out of plumb, my new desk is all scorch
ed, and I’ve got no blood left, with the
dry rot in this place.”
“You got very badly deceived by two
very shrewed men.” a friend told the
agent, a day or two later. “Those scamps
got rich on those offices.”
“How so ? They said wet and dry—”
“Yes, Stubbs was in the basement next
door to a saloon. Kept full all the tim ,
and got so jovial that everybody liked
him. Business boomed on account of
his rare good-nature.”
“And Stobbs ?”

tie village was a depot for large supplies
for the Union army. They were so con
fident of their security that they did not
think of looking beneath our dust-laden
clothes for Confederates. We were too
few in number to take possession, and
must lie low until joined by others of our
party, so we straggled around making
observations.
There were several finely furnished
sutler stores, and one of these, with two
of my comrades, I entered. As we
stepped to the bar, which was finely and
abundantly stocked, the proprietor asked:
“l hnmptgne, gentlemen?”
“Certainly, and some of your finest
havauas.” we replied.
“May I ask to what cavalry you be
long,’ he continued.
“We? Oh, we are a new company sent
out after that rebel Stuart.”
“You do not mean to say he is any
where near here, do you? Of course he
is not. He would not dare venture here,
with the whole of McClellan’s army in
front of us.”
“We con'inued quietly sampling the
fluids, while he continued:
“I’m not a fighting man myself, but
I’d show him how that case could speak,
if I ever set eyes on him,” pointing to a
case of fine revolvers exhibited for sale.
Just then there was an unusual noise
without, and we caught a glimpse of the
remainder of our command, and we said:
“Yi-u had better set out a few more
glasses, and open another bottle or two;
those are some of our friends. Yes,
there is no use fooling longer, we are
Stuar’s cavalry.”
He, as well as several finely dressed
loafers, was too much astonished to make
the slightest resistance, and we were
soon in ]>ossession. ,

It is moonlight. He is loath to leaVe, as

“I’ll never forget you,” he says, *‘anc|

will be o’ you.”
“I’ll never forget you,’’ she sobs. “I’l^
never see anybody else or love them as

They part.
Six ^eais later he returns. His sweet
heart of former years has married. They
meet at a party. Between the dances
the recognition takes place.

DANGEROUS DRUGS.
How to Control EUecttinlly All Such Dor.
ribl • Habits.
Roehettrr ST. Y. Pott- Expreif
A gentleman who has spent tbe summer
abroad, said to our reporter, that the thing
that imptei-ed him most of all was the num
ber <>f hoi days oue encounters abroad and
the little anxiety the people dis >lay in the
conduct of busiae s a fairs. “Men boast
here, he said, ‘‘that they work for years with
out a day off; in Europe that would be con
sidered a crime.”
Mr. H. H. Warner, who was present atthe
time, said: “This is the first su nmer in
y ars that I have not spent on the water.
Been too busy. ”
“1 beu, 1 suppose you have been advertis
ing extensively!”
">ot at all. We have always heretofore
clo.-e,i our laboratory during duly, August
an l September, out this summer'we ba>e
kept it running day and night to supply the
demand, which has been three times great r
than ever before in our history at this sea
son. ’
“How do you account for this?”
“The increase has come fro.n the univer
sal i ecogniiion or the excellence of our
preparation*. We have been nearly ten
years before the public, and the sales are
constantly m.rnis'njf, while our newspaper
adver ising is constantly diminisning.
Why, high scientific and med cal authori
ties now publicly concede that oar Warner’s
safe cure is the only scientific specific for
kidney aud li\ er diseases, and for all the
many di-ea-es caused uy them.”
“La\ e you evidence of th s.”
“Abundance! Only a few weeks ago Dr.
J- L. Stephens, of 1 ebauon, uhio, a specialist
for the cure of narcotic, etc.,habits, told me
that a num eroi eminent scientific medical
men h>id b en e .perimeoting for years, test
ing aud analysing ali known remedies for
tbe kidneys and 1 vor; for, as you may be
aware, the e rcessive it e of a 1 narcotics and
stimulants destroys tho e organs, and until
they can be rest ored to health the habit3
cannot be brol$ n up! Among t' e investi
gators were such men as J. M. Hall, M. D.,
1 resident of the Mate Beard of Health of
Iowa, anil A’e ander Neil, M D., Professor
of Surgery in the Col ege of Physicians and
Burgeons and i le-s rient of the Academy of
Medicine at Columous, who, after exhaustive
inquiry, reported that there was no remedy
known to schools or to scientific inquiry
equal to Warner’s safe euro!”
“Arc many persons addi.ted to the use of
deadly drugs:”
“There ate forty mil ions of people in the
world w ho use opium alone, an 1 there are
many hundreds of thousands in this coun ry
who are victims of moron.ne, opium, quinine
ami cocaine. They think they have uo such
lrab.t about them—so ma ty teople are un
conscious victims of th se habits They
ha. e pains aud symptoms of what they
cad ma aria an l other diseases, when in
reality it is the demand in the system
for these terrible dr.-gs, a demand that
is cat sed largely by physi iaus’pres riptions
which contain so many dangerous dru;
and strong spirits, and one that must
auswered or sileuoed in the kidneys aud liver
by what Dr. Stej Liens -a , s is the only kidney
and liter spe. i c He also says that modem* e
oi’ium aud other drug eaters, if they sustain
the kidney and liver vigor with that great
remedy, < an keep up these habits in modera
tion.” __
ive you a
cure?”
years 1 have tried to convince
the public that nearly all the diseases of Ihe
human sy tern originate in s- me disorder of
the kidney’s or liver, and hence I have
logi'ally declared that if our s ecific were
used, over ninety per r ent. o. the e ailments
would d sappear. The liver aud kidneys
see n to absn b these poison* lroui the blood
ar.d be ome denraved and dBe*e j d.
“When those omiuem authorities thus pub
licly admit that the. e is no remedy like ours
to enable t he kidneys and liver to throw off
the frightful e re ts of all deadly drugs aud
e cesdve use of stimulants it is an admission
of its power as great as any one ouid desire;
for if thro, gl- its influence alone tbe op u n,
morphine, quinine, coc ine and ii mor habits
can ne overcome, what higher testi uon al of
its spe ific powtr could b asked for <”
“ i ou really bel ove then, Mr. Warner,
that the ma ority of di cases come from kid
ney aud liver complain- s {”
“Ido! \\h;n you see a person moping
and groveling about, half deal and half ali e,
y ar alter year, you may surely put him
yvn as having some kidney aad liver
uble.”
“The other day I was talking with Dr.
Fowler, the eminent oculi t of this citv, who
sa d that half the patients who < ame to him
for eye treatment were affected by a t\ an ed
kidnev disease. No.v many people wouder
why ia middle life t'.ieir eye sight becomes
8o > oor. A thorough course of treatment
with Warner’s sa e cure is what they n -ed
more than a pair of eye glasses. The kidney
poison iD t* e blood always atta kstho weak
est i art of the body; with s.une it affects the
eyes; with others the heat; with others the
stomach or the lungs, or rheumatic disorder
follows and n uralgia tears them to pieces,
or they lose tbe powers of ta te, smell, or be
come i a? ot nt in other functions of tbe
b >dy. What man would n t give his all to
ha> e the vigor of youth at ct nurandi”
“Thj intell'geut physician knows that
these com la ntsaie but s mptoms; they are
not the disorder, and they are symptoms n<_t
of disease of the hea 1, the eye or stonia h, or
ot virility, re e sarily, blit of the kidney
poison in the bl od and thev n ay prevail
and no pain oc ur in the ki nevs.”
It is not itian re that the enthusiasm which
Mr. \\ a tier disn’ays in his appre iation of
his own remedy, which restored him to
healthy when the doctors said he could not
live six months, should become infectious
R'.d that the entire world should pay tribnte
to :ts j ower. For, as Mr. Warner says, the
sal< 8 are constantly increasing, while his
m-wsi aper ad\ ertising is constantly diiuin-
isn rg. this speaks volumes in praise of the
oxtiaord.nary merit* ot hi- r>re’>aiations.
