ROCK AND RYE
Hon Kills B. Solinuuol'A Celebrated
Prescription for Consumption
The celebrated proscription of rock
and rye , or white rock candy and rye
whisky , seems to have originated with
Hon Ellis B. Schnabol , a member of
congress from Pennsylvania , and was
Urst published in the Now York Sun
sovornl years ago Mr Schnubol
claimed that he himself had been in
the last stages of consumption and had
been cured by this rotneay It is mndo
as follows : Take five pounds of pure
white rock candy nnd dissolve it in a
gallon of old rye whisky the
older the bettor The whisky
must bo distilled in the old fashioned
way , with a copper worm Always got
the pure white rock candy The clear
white rook is pure ervstalizcd sugar ,
and saccharine matter , you know , is
the most nourishing of all substances
Put your five pounds of white roolc
candy into u gallon of whisky and sot it
on your table Lot it remain there un
til the candy dissolves A week muy
go by before It is absorbed by the
whisky Whenever you pass the 'dcraii
John stop nnd give it a good shaking ,
nud have your wife and dnughtor or
the sorvantsdo the same In this way
it will sooner dissolve , and you will find
yourself the owner of a cordial soothing
and delightful , as far superior to cod
liver oil as maraschino to catnip tea
Mr Schnubol's theory of the patho
logy of consumption , says the American
Analyst , is peculiar and not worth ontur-
ing into It will sullico to say that ho
claims that the condition of the lungs
is similar to that of chronic ulceration
and that the rock and rye converts it
into an acute Inflammation , when the
alcohol by'oxydlzlng and thesaccharino
matter by building up ttio tissues will
produce a cure Bo that as It may
cases are oitoJ where this course ol
treatment has stopped the cough , built
up the system , and the patient has
rnpldly gained flesh and become well
The directions for taking the
mixture are : Take a sherry
wluo glassful on going to bed On
wnking in the morning tnko two-thirds
ns much on nn empty stomach , Curry
a flask in your pocket und take a spoon
ful a half dozen times a day whenever
you think of it Your object should bo
to keep your stomach continuously em
ployed in , talcing up rich und nourish
ing matter The cordial will check
cold night sweats , nnd the patient will
secure iong and refreshing sleep All
lung fever will disappear You will
fool uq raoro pain in your chest ; may
llnally become so enraptured with the
elixir that you will And it dllllcult to
drop it when its use is no longer
necessary for the preservation of
your health Now as to your diet wfillo
feeding on this elixir Vou must avoid
nil vinegurs , plcklos , sour wines , mult
drinks and suit provisions of nil kinds ,
Touch fresh pork under no clrcum-
stances Acids nnd fresh pork promote
ulceration , and iucrenso the very dif
ficulty you are trying to euro , No coffee -
fee should ho used , for it fevers the
blood and neutralizes the ngonoy of the
succhnriuo matter Drink black tea
Eat roast boot rare , broiled steaks , mut-
toil chops well done , toasted broad , and
nil kinds of vogetubles , Ono of the
best nrticlos of food is a rum omelotto ,
mndo exclusively of the yolks of ogee
There is no nourishment in the white
of eggs , The object is to enrich the
blood , The blood is the gront agent to
build up weak und dilapidated constitu
tions , and it must bo furnished with the
necessary materials to reconstruct to em ,
This treatment nnd diet enriches it
so that it is bouud to wiu iu the end

THE MERIT SYSTEM
Mr Ilojovclt on the Principle or the
Civil Service Imw
Theodore Rosovolt , in the Fobrunry
Century , says ; The cheap vnrioty of
demagogue tnkes great delight in call
ing the merit system Chinese , ' appar
ently because ono of its adjuncts is the
competitive examination , while in
China thoir-has long existed a clumsy
and overgrown system of such examin
ations As well might ho inveigh
ugainst our alphabet because the
Chinese have long had a cumbersome
alphabet of their own , or against the
use of guupowdor because it was first
used in China , or dcelino to carry a
Winchester rifle because jingals have
long boon known In the east Again ,
ho mils at the system us English , ' and
ns tending to produce un 'olllco-holding
aristcrncy ' Of course ho does not believe -
liovo these arguments ; ho cant nnd re
tain his sanity While England was
a purely aristocratic community the '
spoils system flourished there far moro
rankly than ever it did here ; and
it is only since England has began to
take giant strides towards democracy
that she has introduced the merit sys
tem , which the founders of our own re
public regarded as the only ono worthy
of a free and high-inindod nation A
system which opens the public service
to all men , ot whatever rank in lifo ,
who provo thomsolvcs most worthy lo
enter it , and which retains thorn in
olllcoonly so long as they servo the
publio with honesty , ollleioncy and
courtesy , is in its vorv essence demo
cratic ; whereas , on the contrary , the
spalls system which still obtains in
most European kingdoms , and reaches
its fullest development uudor the des
potic government of Russia is ossou-
tially undemocratic , in that It tronts the
public service not as the property of the
whole people , to bo administered solely
in their iutorest , but as a bribery ohost
for the bonollt of a few powerful in
dividuals , or groups of individuals , who
use it purely in the spirit of personal or
political favoritism "
Tim Soliorlni : Machine
There is some talk bore about reviv
ing the sobering machlno , " says a
Doylostown , Pa , dispatch to the Noiy
York Time Forty years ago it wns
a familiar niece of mechanism Simple
in conatructlondurubla in use , it served
its purpose well and olToctlvoly In
these days a drunken mnn wns a rare
eight A few citizens of this pluco remember
member it well Jack Reynolds wns
ono of the men who manned the ma
chlno nud ho recollects when it did yoo-
mnn service But the persons who fall
victims to it nro too modest to recall its
purifying effects
It was devised because it was noocs-
sary , and it consssted of the running
gonr of an ordinary wagon with the
hind wliools taken off and n box fas
tened to the axle Sobriety was the
wutchword of the half dozen men who
run it Whenever a drunken man or
womau wns soon on the street the ma
chine wns brought out The victim
was placed on the broad of his back in
the box Thoii' ' the command was gl von
and the occupant wns run out of town
It was Buldom that a man got the scc-
und dose of the "soborlng muchino "
The trumps goon got to dread the ride
of a mlle or so , and they nqvor returned
nster the first experience The wife
heater fared the same , und its inlluonco
hud a salutary olTcot on this class of pee
ple The old inhabitants suy that the
"sobonng machine of ucnrly a half
century ugo was much moro offootivo
than the throats and violence of the

man of fifty , says the Indianapolis
News no had been relating the story
of a wild spree he had once had , toll
ing how his horse had thrown him and
ho imaginou an elephant was about to
stop on him The next day was my
birthday , " said the old man , and my
wife had invited anumbor of our friends
to como help us celebrate the event and
hero I was drunk as a lord When I
got into the house I saw that my wife
for the first time since I had known her ,
looked just as if her heart was ready to
break I felt ashamed of myself I sat
down in a chair and begau to think
what an ornery cuss I was I pulled oil
my coat , kicked off my shoos and
dropped to my kees beside a bed I
never prayed before in my life and I
shall never forgot that prayer It was
short and to the point I said right
there beside the bed :
" 'O Lord , help mo to quit drinking ,
for d d if 1 ean stop '
That prayer was hoard I got up
the next morning without the least de
sire to drink I didn't hnvo a head
ache and when the folks cumo to the
house they were as much surprised to
Und mo sober as I was to bo that way
myself That wnsolovon yenrs ago ana
