One of the great edible luxurip-t of life is a supply of first-rate pears properly ripened, and this a luxury which coil- ' duces to good health, than which nothing is more desirable. Furthermore, a good pear-orrhard is adclightful source of both j employment, and profit. A single tree often yields more profit with less labor than a half-acre of grain. BUt to get a bearing orchard of choice pears requires time, good judgment and ski 11 f(i 1 treatment. There is no great amount of hard labor required, after the I ground has been properly prepared and the trees planted, hut the right, thing must lie done at the right time; hen when the bearing-time comes, there is a "snap for the owner.

Coo!:, in Ilalllr A.rc for Temperance WANT TO MAKE WHISKY FOR CS. A special despatch to tho New York Herald from Chicago states: "What, the Rn?ll?li capitalists who are formed into syndicated now want is a chance at the distilleries of tho U uitnd SLiitc'o. Thev thipk there U mora money in whisky now than in anything else, iviih the exception of beer. They have obtained possession of most of tho big breweries of the country, and their representatives are now looking into the condition of the distilleries and will make some purchases ?oon. "It is true, as reported in the despatches," iai<l Livy Mayer, attorney for the syndicate, litis afternoon, "that the Englishmen aro after POUIO distilleries. Options havo been secured ami tho Imsinoss is being examined into very carefully. If this class of property s dually taken, a large amount of money will >e put into them and a large number will bo tecured. " There is 110 certainty, however, that tho distilleries will lie taken. Tho internal revenue laws of this country are an uncertain piantity. They may lie changed at any time. "Another fnct that has been taken into consideration is tho agitation by the Prohibitionists. This hn.s kept tho English investors from purchasing many breweries and distillcrias, notably the breweries in Omaha. On the establishments there options had already Ik>oii secured. In probing thoroughly into tho matter we found that threoof tho States j?artially surrounding Nebraska had already vutod in favor of u prohibitory amendment CO thefr constitutions.

The Bluo Cross Temperance Society, which originated ten years ago in Switzerland, and now has its branches in nem-lv- ovor.r in Europe, has recently held n great national festival in Switzerland. Over 1300 delegates from that little republic ulone were present., and Germany sent her earnest advocate of Gospel Temperance, Lieutenant-Colonel Von Knobclsdorf. together with several clergymen, to study the principles of the society. The meeting was full of interest. Saved i drunkards testified jtersonally to the efficacy of Gospel temperance methods, and men far from their mountain homes in Northern Europe, and even as far east as Jerusalem, tele- i graphed their sympathy with the work of the society. Notwithstanding the language ' difficulty, there was no confusion of tongues. > Songs and speeches were given both in French 1 and German, so that all might participate. One of the speakers at tho banuuet told of 1 German, WTKT tmetv noTWifg tvt hitch nrw*r*- language, wanted to express their common 1 faith. Great wns the mfllculty, till at last tho German hurst out "Hallelujah," whereupon the Frenchman answered with a joyful "AUeluiu," and tlieir hearts overflowed. Upon this the vast assembly broke out Into a rapturous "Hallelujah," giving glory to God for all His wonderful works to tho children of men. Cl'RES KOR DRUNKEN NICKS.

The manufacturer's price to the retailor is above rather than below twenty cents per gallon. At twenty cents the cost to the dealers would lie $153, 517,111. The retailers get an nverageof sixty cents j>er gallon, which makes the cost to the consumers $160,522,233, which the American people spend annually for malt liquor, principally beer. The most careful estimate nuts the cost of wine to the consumer at $72,570,- | 136, and of distilled spirits $370,220,660. Thit gives us a grand total of $012,440,120, nearly one billion dollars spent annually for liquor by the people of the United States. How few people real zo the enormous exjiense the use of liquor entails on the people. Aside front the tax imposed by the General Government the local tax on the trade is not flvo percent of the cost.

The passover was kept in the first month of the year, to commemorate 9C the deliverance of Israel from the bondage tl of Egypt (Ex, xii., 1-7); and not only points ci backward to that deliverance, but also forward to a greater deliverance from all nations of the earth, when the passover shall " be fulfilled in the kingdom of God (Jor. of xxiii.. 5-8; Luke xxii., 15, 1(1).
