In view of the dreaded approach of
the cholera scourge to our .shores per
haps the following evidence on the
manner in which tlie use of spirits pro
dispohes the perwn using them to the
attacks of the dread disease may prove
a warning to even the ho-callcd mod
erate drinkers.
J he Mcifcngcr dns Chnmbrc
the following extract from a
jrive
letter
is a
of a Warsaw physician: "It
positive fact that" tlie cholera
does
not seize on its victims at hazard, as
many say. This contagion up to the
present period has respected all persons
who lead a regular life and live in
healthy places, and has struek without
pity every man worn out by excess and
weakened by dissipation. It has been
ascertained that out of every hundred
individuals who die of this disease
ninety are in the habit of drinking ar
dent spirits to excess. Women rarely
addict themselves to strong liquors,
and, accordingly, few of them ate at
tacked by tbec'iolera."
Pi of. Mackintosh, of Edinburgh, who j
ranks lugn in t4ie medical profession,
and who was physician to an extensive
cholera hospital, .states that drunkards
were tho persons generally attacked.
In contrasting the causes predisposing
to cholera he also remarks: "And above
all. the dissipated, particularly those
addicted to the habitual iibo of ardent
spirits. It has bon computed that
five-sixths of aM who have fallen by this
disease in England were taken from
the ranks of the intemperate and disso
lute." Dr. Itronson, of Montreal, frays: Tho
habitual wc of ardent spirits, 'in tho
smallest quantity, seldom fails to invite
the cholera, and' to render it incurable
when it takes place.
Dr. Khinelander, who visited Montreal
dnring the prevalence of cholera thorc.
in the summer of 1 832, says: That tho
victims of the disease ar intemperate.
In that city, after there lmd been 1,200
cases of the malady, a Montreal journal
states: " that not a-drunkftrd who had
been attacked has recc'ored. nnd al
most all the victims have at .least U.-cn
moderate drinkers."
Dr. Sewell. who visited the cholera
hospitals of New York, states that of
204 cases in the Park Uotpital there
were only six temperate jnrsons, and
that thee had recovered; while 122 of
the others had died when he vroto. and
that the facts were similar In all tlie
other hospitals.
Mr. Huber, who saw 2.169 perish in
twenty -one days, in one town of Russia,
says: It is a most remarkable eircum
."tance that persons given to drink have
been swept away like Hies, hi Tillis,
containing 20,000 inhabitants, every
drunkard has fallen; all tire detd, not
one remaining.
Dr. Adams, of Dublin, -affirms: Our
foreign reports testify that drunkards
are carried off at once by this diKs dis
ease; but those who, by daily me, de
bilitate the tone of their s'oninclu and
biliary organs, become easy victiiks to
the cuolenu ,
G. Hamilton Bell E. It'C. S. El in
bis publication on cholera, says: Above
all. intoxication and dissipated habits
have been found. wlcnevcr the di.-Ut.
prevailed, powerfully .to predispose' to
cholera. ,
George K. Paterson. -surgeon, Dun
dee, says: There can nut be a doubt
held for a moment on the subject, that
low and intemperate habits are strong
inducements in favor of the disease at
any time, but far more to nn epidemic
that is prevalent For example: in
Dundee, more individuals, on an aver
age, have been attacked in the Leg'n-n-nsr
of the week, and this has been as
cribed, with much apparent truth, to
the drinking habits andirregnlar moil its
of living of such on the previous Sattir
dar night
Dr. Mussoy. U. S.. says: lUnon boats
on .the river the increase of brandy
drinking, consequent upon the approach
of the cholera, has been frightful, and
the mortality on board or those vessels
has been terrible and mnreeetlented.

OVER-ESTIMATED.
Tendency to Oruwth mbi! Accumulation
of fat In trm Animal.
It is a hindrance te making f'Oiind
headway when a man starts out with
improved farm animals of .any kind on
which he has over-estimated tlie tenden
cy to growth ami accumulation of fat.
The reason of its being a .hindrance is,
that a reaction occurs when -a man only
partially informed finds. Ihe high-brod
beast consumes food as rapidly and in
as large quantities as the scrub. There
is in the minds of many men a serious
misapprehension as fco high-bred farm
animaJs requiring very little food in
proportion to their weight, as compared
to the amount ordinarily consumed by
improved beasts ot the same class or
race. To make great and rapid growth
on light feed is a physical imposs bility
with any quadruped living, jut as it is
to grow a hundred bushels of corn on
au acre of light soil. When an im
proved sort of seed is sought for. it is
not with tho expectation of obtaining
something that will give an abundant
yield of very large grains, when pla .tjd
upan the thinuc. t land on the premises.
What is wanted is a liettcr product and
in tho cao of grain there is no expecta
tion of a liberal yield un'e s there is
plenty of plant food within reach of the
roots of the grain-bearing plant, and to
this mere feeding there must bo added
suitable care and
tillage.
To expect
more than tiiis is to base
expectations
upon calculations that are altogether
calculations that
erroneous, and disappointment will fol
low. It is better to fortify against all
liability to disappointment by adopting
the horuoly proposition, that something
can not be got from roth ng. The
.facilities for converting food into flesh
and fat of course, vary greatly in differ
vnt animals in tho same breedand herd,
and the contrast in this regard between
the improved an i the unimproved beat
is. wo are quite ready to declare.
Mill more pronounced; yet -it Js not cor
rect practice to count unduly upon any
grade of improvement of food oelow a
minimum. And clearly a maximum
ot growth can not be expected from a
n fun muni of sustenance, with any liv
ing beast For the clearest physiological
reasons, the scmb beast will stand scaut
feed with les shrinkage- than the high
bred llcsh-iuuking animal; lirsi among
thea reasons being the simple faet that
thercSs less to shrink. The eerob beat
is attenuated in its 'flcuh at best and
while shrinkage does not materially alter
its outer contour, the improved annual
ifc .nothing without svmmetrv. am this
it parU with spccd.Iy if icautly fed.
"The Advantages to be sec ured thremgh
handling improve! farm animals may
be likened to tho-o secured by having a
superior quality of yeast quicker and
greater rtsults'can be obtained, and the
quality of the resulting product is bet

In the world of crockery and pla--ware
tiiis is essentially an age of plates.
The time was when housewives stocked
their closets and sideboards with sauee
disltes, which were considered the
proper service whether cranberries,
stewed peaches, mashed turnips, lob
stfr salad, lima beans, or ice-cream
constituted the course Now one never
sees a sauce-dish where there is the
leat pretense to style. To be sure,
they are for sale in the store, but tho
purchasers are far behind the times.
Now the fa-Iron calls for plates, and
the city trade in that line is enormous.
With a nice variety of plates plenty of
pretty cups, and a few dozen small
forks, a house-keeper has about all
the service necessary for elegant enter
tainment. Such things as jellies-, pre
serves, marmalades, nil torts of pud
diugs and pastries, every variety of
vegetable, salads of all kinds, and
even sauces, creams and ices are dished
out on plates which are a trifle smaller
than meat-plates, but much larger
than fruit-plates. At small eutertun
ments aud all large gatherings where
the catering is Mtnple everything is
passed on a plate, even to the cup of
coffee. Saucers are not even men
tioned, and a spoon is not to be
thought of save in a mug of Roman
punch or cup of tea, its place having
been usurped by a me liuni-sied fork.
Ice-cream plates are Hat With a curv
ing edge not half an inch high. The
shapes vary, some representing a leaf.
Tlie finest specimens in cut-gl:u-s ase to
bo found in the American goods, which
this year lead the world. There are few
or no new paturns in the cutting, but
the quality of the glass and the general
workmanship are not surpassed by tho
firms which heretofore have controlled
the trade. As in the old thinn set, the
crystal ice-creams include twelve plates
and a large platter, the knife sometimes
being set in a cut-glas handle. Siu-h a
service can not be bought for less thau
$100, and from that figure prices run
to J.?0. The china ice-cream plates
sell as low as 18 cents, and any better
goods are proportionally high, the
quality and quantity of the decoration
rather than tho wan; regulating the
price. Plates sell at &2 each, and from
that up to .J0. There arc no less than
a thousand designs from wh eh to
choo-c As there is no standard re
garding the size, many women buy
three or four do.en of a medium diani
ter, but are. careful that there shall be
no duplicate.
The finest ware Jroade is elaborately
decorated, aud as the common stone
por-clain is similarly treated, one must
be wolI-vered in noltery to tell tho
crown Derby from tlie iron crown por
celain. In cups, for instance, distinc
tion is not puzzling; h in plates, plat
ters, tuivciis, and such other dishes as
must necessurily be strong, only a judge
is able to see through tiie, gla.ing aud
masterly burnii g. But to run through
a stock aud break sets for a date or
two. one must lie. a good customer be
fore that privilege is granted.
While for courses dishes are similar
in color and pattern, it is no longer in
good form to have them all alike. The
fancy is given full sweep in tlie fruit
and dessert plates proper. In that way
there "s a lack of that monotony which
comes from -buying a complete table
set whether for tea, dinner or break
fast The blue Dresden china plates so fash
ionable in the E:u-t are litt'e admired
here, which is saying much for Wost-rn
fat diouticss. Tlie demand is rather
for the Cop.-lin, an Enghsh ware ol doll
background gorgeously decorated wi h
ric i color and bands of gold and lace
work. Such plates sell at .28 jM.r
dozen. The cheapest crown Derby
meat-plate is worth ?:?, and although
theft i still a demand the trade is not
as large as for the Vienna ware. That
brand is especially notable for the
variety as well as the exquisite designs
which are sent out every season. The
shnpes, to, are pretty, and the.tiuts are
always suggested by the design used.
That is to say. flowers are thrown
agninst the faintest tints of color, game
and birds live iu atmosphere, while fig
ures or original designs are mounted
on rich colors. Vienna plates, whether
for meat, fruit, fish or game, are not to
be had under -i-iW per dozen.
FLh-plates are generally made up
with pretty designs which allow their
use for any course. The taste, how
ever, of some buyers calls for a regular
fish-plate. One" spveitnen of ltoyal
Worcester ware shows a plate as large
as would be used for roa-t meat', done
in a crc-tm tint of basket cloth sutface
with fish-forms iu relief. Some idea of
tho dewign may be inferred from the
price $73 for twelre fish-plates. For
93 one can see a dozen plates, each in
the form of a pond-lily leaf, and each
contain. ng a marine view. The beauty
of design as well as the excellent quali
ty of work is well worth the price.
There are nice plates containing sea
weeds, shells, and all sort of small
odd-shaped fish, marked 940 a dozen.
Whe.c desired platters are furnished
the'soli decoration consists ef a long
slender ll-h extending the full length.
Asp.iragus-plates are divided Into
throe kinds, some having the vege'able
itself for decor.iton. but the prettier
ones have little iu the way of decora
tions to suggest their use "
Many gamc-olatcs are indicated bv
hnnting scenes and landscapes, with
grouse, woodcock, duck, snipe pheas
ant, prairie-chicken, and some game of
a larger kiud. A set of twelve plates
marked $130 had hand-painted game in
the center.
Birds, fruit ami flowers appear on the
fruit and dessert plates, which range in
mice from 27 to 300 a dozen, Ter
