PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT NEWBERRY S. C. G dren Cry for Pitcher's Castoria WANTED-A NEW MEAT. Swans and Peacocks Are Worth Raising, 'U Some WIld Ani~mtils May Ue Better. [From the Speetatof.] The lack of variety in those meat! which, whether flesh or fowl, must al ways form the groundwork and basii of an English bill of fare is a wani keenly felt, but most difficult to Teme dy. Among the thousands of tons ol foreign game imported yearly, there i hardly a beast or bird which may not be had in better quality and condioio at home, except the prairie-bird and the quail; for those canvass-backed ducks which escape the keen search of the New York dealers and find their way across the Atlantic alight only on the tables of City companies and million aiies, like the caladrus of old, that ap peared only at the deaths of kings. Yet there are probably- twenty people in this country who have eaten canvas backed duck for one who has evei tasted swan, or rather cygnet, the finest water fowl for the table, alike in size and flavor, a bird easy to rear, most prolific, rivalling even the breast the teal, without the fatal drawback of that excellent little bird, that no one has ever been able to get enough of it. Even now, though so neglected by the world, swans may be had from the Norwicb .Swan Pit for X2 each. They weigb some sixteen pounds, and with them iE forwarded an ancient recipe for cooking them, "done into rhyme by a person ol quality." Another "fowl'- which was once re served for the tables of kings, and is now hardly thought good enough for Aldermen, is the peacock. What roast swan is to roast goose, such is roast peacock to roast turkey. Many owners of county houses who keep peacocki and let them run wild and nest in their woods and shrubberies, take little trou ble either to fatten or cook the pea chicks. If they did, they would per haps take more pains to rear these birds for the table. The meat is very white and of exceedingly fine and close grain, and has the truegame flavor, with none of the stringiness of the common tur key. But flesh, and not fowl, is what is mainly desired to widen the possibili ties of the dinner table. Fatted swaas or peacocks or American turkeys might be increased and multiplied without affording more than an occasional re lief to the monotony of the menu and the brain-searching of houskeepers. What is wanted is some new and large animal, whose flesh has a character of its own which would readily distin guish it from beef or mutton, and an excellence which shall make it inde pendent of any special treatment in cooking-something which shall com bine the game flavor with the substan tail solidity of a leg of mutton. An increase in the quantity> of venison reared in this country naturally sug gests itself. It is objected that deer can never pay to fat for food, because the annual growth of their horns reduces them so- much in condition as for a time to- make the. venison worthless. Butathis appXeedlfothe bucks;stags might be kep)t like 'bullo.cks,: n44doe venison might still be reineati'e.. Bnt swan, peacock,.andvenisori -are, after all, only revivalstof the~ old b.ill of fare. To flnd a new meat, we must take stock of the world's resources of animal food, and inquire, after due survey, if there does not still exist some neglected quadruped which will furnish what we seek. Roughly speak ing, our main supply of animal food is drawn either from the rodents, the ruminants, or the pachyderms-repre sented by the rabbit, the ox or sheep, and the pig. To vary the supply at our disposal, we shall probably not be able to go beyond these limits; for the, general experience of civilized man has already pronounced judgment on the question, <md science supports the ver dict. It is no good to eat a wolf, for the wolf has already got the benefit of eat ing the lamb, and left no surplus for us. Of three great tribes, the rodents may be dismissed from our search; for those that are not already used as food are either too small to be useful, as the lemming or the guinea pig, or too re pulsive in appearance, like the capy bara, or in habits, like the rat. Of the pachyderms we find only one which is domesticated for food, the dear familiar Berkshire or Yorkshire piggie. The larger pachyderms are too pig; the smaller, like the peccary, too savage; the wart hog.and other African varie ties, too repulsive. Clearly, then, we must have recourse to the list of rumi nants if we are to find one to add to the bill of fare. At first the choice seems wide enough. It embraces all the deer tribe, the wild sheep and antelopes, goats and ibexes, which are numerous; but all have a rank and disagreeable flavor, which must prevent their coming into the list of first-class food. The possi bility of extending the supply of veni son we nave already considered. The wild sheep would probably differ too little in flavor from mutton to make it worth while to domesticate them, though those of the Himalaya will breed freely in confinement. 'The ante lcopes, therefore alone remain, and it is a'nong their number that the animal wanted must be found, if it is to be found at all. If the accounts of African hunters are to be relied on, thbe venison obtained from the larger kinds of antelope found in South and Central Africa is really ex'cellent, that of the koodoo, the oryx, and the eland being the best. Perhaps the highest and most modern author ity avail able for quotation on the sub ject is Lord Randolph Churchill. His Lordship's verdict on the eland, the flesh of which is said to surpass that of all other antelopes as much as Welsb mutton does Lincolnshire "teg," will be of material interest inquiry. Less educated palates have pronounced it "pecnliarly excellent, having in addi tion the valuable property of being tender immediately after the animal is killed, which makes it much appre ciated in Central Africa, where th( meat usually as tough as shoe leathe and nearly as dry." In addition to thE quality of the meat, an eland has thE additional requisite of large Pize. A full grown eland is as large as a two year-old shorthorn, and has far morn the app.arance of a high-bred bullock than an antelope. Its horns are short and straight, pointing backward, and and it has a dewlap like an ox. It car live on the hardest fare, and soon grows very fat on good pasture. Best of all. it becomes quite tame, and is easily ac. climatized. The writer remembers tc have seen a splendid group of these animals in the Jardin d'Acclarnatation in the Bois de Boulogne, an old bull nearly*16 hands high. a cow, and two young, apparently a yearling and a two-year-old. They were in good con .dition, though living in a paddock with only an open shed to shelter them from the weather. The late Lord Darby kept them at Knowsley Park for many years. It seems to be a waste of the re sources of nature to allow these fine creatures to be exterminated, as they soon will be, in our new American em pire. Why should we not save the eland, the barmless antelope, the xoo doo, and other larger African antelope from extermination-arid even try to rear some in England? The experiment may be recommended to some of the noble owners of parks and chases who have already done so much to preserve our own deer and wild cattle from ex termination. America has allowed the bison to perish. Shall we not take warning, and preserve for our own use the splendid African antelopes which, within the memory of man, were a thousand times more numerous than they are to-day? TO KIsS OR NOr TO KISS ? rhysicians Say the Pastime Is Dangerous. Certificates Suggested. [From the Baltimore Sun.] Next to jumping off express trains, going up in balloons and monkeying with buzz saws kissing seems to be the iost risky and dangerous pastime to hich the human family is given, if statements of well-known physicians are to be believed. A cable dispatch from Berlin states that twenty-two different species of bacteria find lodgment in the human mouth and that he wants kissing abandoned. Those who still persist in the dangerous practice, he suggests, should be muzzled with respirators un til they see the error of their ways and are willing to reform. He suggests no substitute. Dr. William H. Crim, when his at tention was called to the cablegram, said that kissing was a prolific cause of the spread of infectious and contagious diseases, particularly such ag dipth theria, measles, whooping-cough, scar let and typhoid fevers and consump tion. He produced several ponderous volumes in which the subject was treated, and in which some cold-hearted statistician had figured it out that .32-10 per centum of certain diseases were 'transmitted by the apparently harmless kiss. Dr. Crimn said he didn't expect that any amount or argument woul check the habit which has been going on since the foundation of the world, but he suggested that it would be well for those who are much given to the exercise to obtain certificates of health, which they could show to each other at the beginning of each per formance. Anyone who could not produce such a certificate should be ruled out of the game. Dr. Fannie E. Hoopes, who has just r.eturned from abroad, agreed with the Berlin physician. She said that the habit was a very dangerous one indeed, causing the spread of infectious diseases through entire. families, and often through whole neighborhoods. She also thdught the habit was foolish and senseless, and said she was opposed to it on . principle. She cited several cases: where diphtheria and typhoid fev.er.*ad been spread by kissing, and said:.htab many mothers have in structed their nurses not to allow their children to be kissed when the nurses have them out in the streets.

Mr. Nathan Harris, of Rich Valley Va., has a daughter 19 years old, wh( only two feet ten incbes in height and weighs just forty and a half pounds She is well proportioned and intelli gent, and her hair sweeps the flooi when she stands erect. She is the eld est of four children. She has lived ir the Valley all her life with her parents, but very few have known of her exis tence until recently, her parents not desiring notoriety. Englishmen were much puzzled to find in Scott's journal the expression "Nos poma natamus"-"How we apples swim," and there was a grave discussion of its significance in a fa mous literary weekly, until finally an army officer came to the rescue with the fable from which the phrase is taken. Then came two letters fron New York saying that the writers had known the fable from boyhood, and marvelling that it should be unknown to any civillzed human being. The English laws, or rather uiagi - trates, punish offences agains,i?)oerty more severely than offences agalIst the person. The stealing of any article, however small, is punished often with several months' imprisoxinent at hard labor, while the costermonger for "jumping oi his mothei" gets bt a few days' incarceration, minus the hard labor. Wife beating, a favorite practice among what are termed the lower classes, is scarcely punished at all, unless the wife dies. Even then unless death occurs immediately, the brute of a husband receives but a com paratively light sentence. On the other hand a deliberate murder per. petrated with a deadly weapon, or by poison, is followed by the hanging of the murderer within a few weeks. Re cently a murderer was hanged and buried within a fortnight of the death P.nd burial of his victim. hRuians who are eniisted in the Czar's army have at least one advan tege over many of the other subjects of the Czar. The military authorities will take care that the soldiers shall not perish by starvation. The legitimate drama is not appre ciated in rural Maine. A company that was organized at Fairfield last week to play "Romeo and Juliet" lived two nights. Romeo is now at work in a sawmill, while Juliet struck a job in a plain, every-day cot ton factory. Canary birds are a good deal troubled by mosquitoes. The toes of the birds are amply provided with small veins, and as the membrane between the toes is extremely thin an observant mos quito may see h-s favorite fluid -cir culating in plain sight. A bird with a swollen hind toe was brought to a bird fancier recently and he pro nounced the trouble poisoning from a mosquito bite. - He said the thing was not uncommon. The doctors and citizens in the town of Stuttgart, Ark., are at loggerheads. A short time ago the leading physi cians of the place formed a protective league against those citizens who fail to pay their doctor's bills. Every doctor in the league is prohibited from visiting a patiant whose name appears on the black list. This action aroused the in habitants to a high pitch of indigna tion, and over 300 of them assembled in mass meeting and agreed to boycott the offending doctore. While ascending Pike's Peak by the new rack railway, about one person in 200 is affected by the rarity of the air at the high altitude. The indications of distress are itching and redness of the nose and then blackness under the eyes. A woman who was dying ap parently on a trip recently was sent back on the locomotive to the foot on the mountain, where she recovered. The summit is 14,400 feet above the level of the sea. Baldness ought not to come till the age of 5.5 or later. If the hair begins to fall earlier, use Hall's Hair Renewer and prevent baldness and grayness. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria.

DON'T GIVE UP The use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. One bottle may not cure "right off" a complaint of years; persist until a cure is effected. As a general rule, improvement follows shortly after beginning the use of this medicine. With many people, the effect is immediately noticeable; but some constitutions are less susceptible to medicinal influences than others, and the curative process may, there fore, in suc:i cases, be less prompt. Perse verance in using this remedy is sure of its reward at last. Sooner or later, the most stubborn blood diseases yield to Ayer's Sarsaparilla "For several years, in the spring months, I used to be troubled with a drowsy, tired fgeling, and a dull pain in the small of my back, so bad, at times, as to prevent my being able to walk, the least sudden motion causing me severe distress. Frequently, boils and rashes would break out on various parts of the body. By the advice of friends and my family physician. I began the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla and continued it till the poison in my blood was thoroughly eradica ted."-L. W. English, Montgomery City, Mo. "My system was all run down; my skin rough and of yellowish hue. I tried various remedies, and while some of them gave me temporary relief, none of them did any per manent good. At last I began to takc Ayer's Sarsaparilla, continuing it exclusive ly for a considerable time, and am pleased to say that it completely Cured Me. I presume my liver was very much out of order, and the blood impure in consequence. I feel that I cannot too highly recommend Ayer's Sarsaparilla to any one afflicted as I was."-Mrs. N. A. Smith, Glover, Vt. "For years I suffered from scrofula and blood diseases. The doctors' prescriptions and several so-called blood-purifiers being of no avail, I was at last advised by a friend to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I did so, and now feel like a new man, being fully restored to health."-C. N. Frink, Decorah. Iowa. * Ayer's Sarsaparilla Prepared by Dr.J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass.
