A Remarkable Pumpkin.
Mr. and Mrs. H. Russell, well-known
colored citizens of Wabash, Ind., are
in possession of a freak in vegetable
growth that is a marvel to their neighbors.
Last October Mr. Russell bought
several large, yellow pumpkins whioh,
with joyous anticipations of delioious
pie on Thanksgiving and Christmas,
he stored away in his oellar. Several
of them were consumed and on Monx

it was resolved to make that up into
pies for Christmas Day. Mis. Rueaell
brought the golden globe from the
cellar, out it open and was astonished
to find that, while the tiesh of the
vegetable's interior was sound and
weet, the seeds had sprouted and were
growing at a lively rate. Somo of the
leaves thrown out were two inohes in
length and of a bright green color.
The seeds themselves had apparently
taken firm hold in the meat of the
pumpkine, but how the miniature vine
managed to thrive in the dark, airtight
cavity is a mystery to all who
have seen the phenomenon. Many
visitors call to examine the pumpkin

The New Tear Outlook.
The business of the country has become
so dependent upon politics, especially the
manufacturing and importing interests, that
there is again a lull In its activities, wait*
Sng to see what changes may take place in
tariff and other laws bearing upon suoh Important
branches of trade. As Congress cannot
mature suoh changes much before the
last of summer, the outlook is somewhat
discouraging. But at the same time the
Yexatlons of such a state of things ought not
to be allowed to fret the nervous system.
Better times will come at last on more substantial
basis. Meanwhile it is well to know
that worry to the nerves is the prolific
source of Neuralgia and kindred ailments,
and it is also established that in spite ol
what Congress may do, or any other cause
of vexation to the nervous system. St.

The Sap of Trees.
It is a subject of interest to maplesngar
makers where the sap in the
trees comes from, and there is much
difference of opinion about it. The
Bap do?s not come from the ground by
the roots, but is in the tree, and has
been all the winter, but in the form of
etaroh deposited in the cells of the
soft wood under the bark. When the
weather becomes warm enough in the
spring to set the vital processes in the
tree into action, this starch is changed
into sugar, and the cells are filled so
full of the sweet sap as to exert a
great pressure on them. Then when
the spring begins, the warmth of the
sun starts this vital action, and the
sap circulates through the cells on the
way to the bads, which will swell and
soon burst into leal When thesagar
maker taps the trees, the pressure of '
the sap on the cells foroes it to exude
and flow from the opening made into
the sap wood. There is no special
current up from the roots or down to
them; the tree is simply filled with
sap all through the sap wood, and
mostly at that part of it which lies im-'
mediately under the bark, and where
the new wood will soon be formed of
the matter held in solution in the sap.
The sap will flow while the ground is
frozen, for it is the warmth in the
air that causes the flow, and not the
action of the roots in the soil. Thus
it is quite useless to spread any little
or other non-conductive matter under
the tree in the expectation that if the
ground is kept frozen the budding
> will be delayed.- If this effect is desired
the whole tree must be covered
in and kept in a dormant condition by
a low temperature all over. Thus
young trees may be kept in cold stor1
age for months, and are so kept for
i shipment to Australia, where the seasons
are exactly the opposite of ours.

" "Winter before last, when there was so '
53 much suffering among the poorer classes, <
and when philanthropy and charity were <
stirred to their utmost to furnish to the ,
needy the necessaries of life, a soup house
was opened in Annapolis, the capital of 1
<3 Maryland, for the first time, I am told, in its
history. The fall preceding the oyster in- t
dustry was active as usual, and employment .
53 given to many hands. On one Saturday 1
fcs evening a large packer paid off those in his <
jf employ with brass checks for the respective /
amounts due them. As the packer was i
? known to be a man of character and means,
these checks were received as money by the
dealers in that town, and by them presented <
for redemption. On this occasion he issued i
2600 of them, and by the following 7/ednesday
they had all been redeemed. Vho presented
them? Through what branch of 3
trade did they come back to the packer? 1
You would, of course, suppose from the (
baker, the grower, the butoher, the clothier,
and such like. Did they? Out of the 2500. '
2100, or more than four-fifths, were handed

comfort and sustenance to' the families represented,
and only one-fifth through the i
saloons, and that would have been one-fifth
too many. Do you think there would* have
been any need of a boud house in that town?
On the contrary, would not the various
branches of trade have felt the impulse of an
increased demand, and they in turn would
have been forced to send to Baltimore and
other places for further supplies, and thus,
like the ripple started on the bosom of some
I)lacid lake, whioh widens and widens, until
t reaches the furthermost shore, the cban
nels of trade, once started, would have gone
on, ever widening In their influence, until

cotton and the like would have found an
active demand for. them at remunerative
prices.?Joshua Levering.

lg If the account* of the introduction of a
10 food supply into Alaska are encouraging, the
introduction of a drink supply furnishes another
and darker side to the cose. It is
against the United States law to introduce
liquor into Alaska; and the United States
revenue cutter is very efficient in enforcing
the law. American whalers, who very frequently
bring more liquor than the law allows
them for their own consumption (ten
gallons) are obliged to throw it overboard.
But, to evade the United States, laws, a new
plan h&9 been adopted. Thus, last year a
Ttrfcolnr tnnb nnn hnndrn(l barrels of whlskv
to the Siberian coast. II it had anchored in
American waters, the vessel would have
been seized. Being in Siberian waters it
could not be touched. The liquor was then
landed, and the Siberians loaded it up in
their skin canoes and the Alaskaos in theirs;
and Mr. Jackson declare that the entire
, United States navy could hot under these
circumstances, prevent tne smuggling of
liquor into Alaska. It is melancholy to reflect
that, while missionaries are trying to
m save this people, physically and morally,
lg ' other men are doing all they can for the lntraduction
of alcohol for their degradation.
But so it has been from the beginning; the
10 forces of light and darkness are perpetually
be in conflict.

There is an ancient saying that the sins of
a. the father are visited upon the children; of
course. In the way of natural-law only.
?r Science lends its support to this declaration
se and presents many sad facts in corroboration
of it. Thus Dr. Paul Garnier, of Paris, who
has been making a special study of the children
of habitual drunkards, comes to this
conclusion: "There is a flaw in, the very
en nature of these young wretches that the
psychologist sees clearly and notes with apn*
prehension?the absence of affectionate
ad emotion;" and when they do not become
e- lunatics, he says, they show "insensibility
and pitilessness," Here is a temperance
lesson of startling power.?Workman's

Cardinal Logue, Archbishop of Armagh,
Ireland, speaking in his cathedral at a meeting
of the Confraternity of the Sacred Heart

it was a grand thing to belong to a temperance

WHAT ALCOHOL CAN DO. '
Alcohol regularly applied to a farmer's
stomach will remove the boards from the
fence, let the cattle into his crops, kill his
fruit trees, mortgage his farm, and sow his
fields with wild oats and thistles. It will
take the paint off bis buildings. break the
glass out of bis windows and fill them with
rags. It will take the gloss from his clothes
and polish from his manners, subdue his |
reason and arouse his passions, bring sorrow
and disgrace upon bis family and topple him 1
into a drunkard's grave. '

moonshiners, Fred Walker, was captured
by revenue officers a few nights
ago near Stevenson, Ala. For fifteen
years Walker has been a fugitive from
justice, and during that time he has
defeated dozens of attempts to capture
him, and has defied and taunted the
officers, though he has lived in one
place all the time. The marshal who
headed the posse which finally captured
him had previously made
twenty-five unsuccessful attempts.
Walker was exceedingly popular
among mountain folk, and they gave
him every assistance in evading arrest.
His cabin' was on a cliff commanding
a view of the country for fifteen miles
around, and either he saw the officers
or was warned bv sicnals from friends
of their approach.. The officers finally
discovered the route by whioh he
usually retreated, and while one party
went openly to hia cabin the other
lay in ambush, along hia path and.
took him unawares. All the mountaineers
fully believe he will 30on escape
from the authorities.?New York San.

Issued by hi* family physician,
became Interested as time weat oh to

pretty certain to be prescribed at
some point of the treatment of every '

throat, for restlessness whieh disturbed
the baby's sleep, and for
troubles which beset the aged grandparents,
the favorite remedy was
always turning up, although slightly
