How Two Women. Told the News.
A woman under an imported hat hurried-
ly entered the telegraph office and announc-
ed, with unmistakable evidences of pertur-
bation that she wished to send a message
right away. She was accompanied by an-
other woman, who wore a feather boa and
was scarcely less excited.
The woman under the imported hat rush -
ea frantieally to the desk.
" Got to keep it within ten words," sug-
gested the other woman.
"What for ?"
"1 don't know, but I've heard my hut:.
band say so lots of dines,"
" Ole well—"
The woman under the hat fell to writing
'furiously.
"1 can say what I want to in five or x
words."
Presently she paused.
a There, ' she sighed, with a look of re-
lief, "that's off nay mind. Listen,"
She read the telegram :

Bessie.
"Ain't there more than ten words ?"
asked the other woman, anxionsly.
" What ? Eh ? True's I live. That's
too bad. It tells just what I want to say.
Let's see. What can we leave out ?"
" Dear Frank," suggested the other wom-
an,

a "Not mentioning the tooth we've been

The woman under the ht recoilei in hor-
ror.
"Never. That's' just what Frank wants
to hear about."
"Then why not leave out all about the
new tooth ?"
The other woman clearly thoughtshe had
hit upon a happy expedient. She smiled
radiantly.
" Bah I. You make—"
The other woman's smile vanished.
"You make ole tired. That's news, and
I guess Frank wants to hear the news."
The other woman bit her lips in perplex-
ity.
I'll tell you," she suddenly exclaimed
with intense enthusiasm, as she seized the
pen and wrote

To the extent that mothers are unnatur..
unmotherly, recreant to their important
trust, refusing to nurse their babies, will
they die with the cholera inflentum. If the
morbidity among the young of the brute
creation should but half espial that of our
babes, those particularly ulterested would
be likely to petition congress for an inves-
tigatton of the causes of suck fearful waste
of life,
While "milk for babes " is an ackuowl-
edged prineiple, the present disregard of
this principle ia spreading desolation over
tbe land, causing many, many mothers'
hearts to znourn in bitter anguish ; yet the
cause of such mortality is very easily trac-
ed, To feed these babes with the same
food which is proper for the adult laborer,
is foolish in the extreme, and sure to pro-
duce premature death, at least in the av-
erage cases.

The Uses of Food.
An intellegent man feeds his horse, if

selecting wholesome and nourishing food,
treating him as if an intelligent and mortal
being. He feeds himselt differently, select.
ing what it vitizsted appetite clamors for
euts as lie pleases, when tie pleases, as often
as he pleases, as muck as pleases, as if a
brute, not subject, to any physical organic
law, in cousegneuce of which he ia the vietan
of fearful dieeases, has a life of physical
suffering, while his valuable and intelligent
horse remains in a natural condition, free
from the diseases of man. Which is the

To the philanthropists, the greatest evil
which ever threatened the stability of a free
government, degraded, depressed the stan-
dard of morality, imbrutinginan, delniman-
iziug mortal beings, ia the use of ardent
spirits. Amy produce no possible good,
but they harm, and that continually. As
poisons they produce poisorous effects, and
only such, for whatever purpose they May
be used. It is a matter of no possible im-
portance whether they are called medicine
or grog, tho poisonous element being still
retained. Governor Lewis Cass, of Michi-
gan, says; "I stand here this hour a living
witness of the utter worthlessness of all in-
toxicating liquors, having never tasted of
any of them in my long life; and I have
endured my share of --labor end fatigue,
both in peace and war." The an-
cient Roman soldiers, who conquered the
world, and bore a weight which would
crush a modern soldier, drank only water
and vinegar. A Dutch ship with sixty
men, well supplied with provisions and
liquors, attempted to pass the winter in
Hudson's bay, losing fitty.eight men, while
and English ship of twenty-two men, with-
out liquors passed the same winter in the
same pletee with a loss of but one nun. Dr.
Abbott, of England who spent some years
in the %Vogt Indies, says that in that ex-
treme climate, with a vertical sun, experi-
ence has proved that the slaves who wholly
abstain from all alcoholic Errors are more
healthy and live longer and perform mare
labor than those wh . use it. Science, ex.
perience and observation teach us that alco-
hol contains nothing to afford health,
strength and endurance—simply stiznulat-
ing, wasting' exhautting the vital forces, to
be succeededby weakness and inactivity—
nothing to protect ns from the vicissitudes
of our changeful climates nothing in any re-
spect to .improve our physical condition,
and, if possible leas to satisfy the mental
and moral impulses.
