It is highly probable that the peninsu

A CITT GENDARME.
Slate, with a population of about nine
millions, ruled by an hereditary sover
eign, who iu turn is supported by a
powerful aristocracy. The most recent
and accurate account of the country is
that given by Mr. W. 11. Carles, who, as
English vice-consul, enjoyed unusual op
portunities for study and observation,
lie describes the capital city, which is
ENEMIES OF THE POTATO.
One could almost say that man is one
of the worst enemies of the potato, if
we may judge from the manner iu which
he sometimes neglects one of his best of
vegetable friends. While it requires a
warm, rich soil, he gives it a water-
soaked clay bed, and when the feeble
plants come to the surface no encourage
ment is given them to struggle against
the weeds that threaten to choke out the
last spark of life.
Many insects prey upoa the narcotic
herbage of the potato, the most destruc
tive of which is the Colorado beetle.
But with this well under subjection by
a fully understood plan of applying
London purple or Paris green, there re
mains now only to develop the methods
of overcoming the blights and rots, the
worst of which is the so-called well rot.
This is due to the growth of a low form
of vegetatiou closely related to the mil
dew of the grape. It first appears on
the leaves as frosty patches, and from
there it grows down the stems, and final
ly its sleivler threads reach the tubers,
causing them to rot.
From the fact that the leaves are first
attacked, and the rot works down the
steins to the potatoes, it is evident that
when the leaves and stems are dying
prematurely the tubers should be dug at
once. Let the potatoes dry thoroughly
in the field after digging, and store only
the sound ones in a dry place with a
good circulation of air. Avoid a damp,
poorly ventilated room. The vines and
all decayed tubers left in the field should
be burned.
As preventive measures at planting
time it may be suggested that a second
crop should not be grown where the pre
vious crop failed from the rot. The
seed should be free from the trouble,and
therefore only sound potatoes are suit
able for planting. Early varieties,
planted early, are most apt to escape,
for the rot does not get started usually un
til midsummer. Experience has demon
strated that it is best to hill the potatoes
somewhat at t he plowing, as many germs
of the disease fall from the leaves and
are washed down to the tubers with the
rains.—American A'/ric'tlturi?!.

BREAKING A COLT TO THE CARS.
One morning last spring a traveler ap
proaching a country railway station no
ticed a man holding a young horse some
twenty rods distant from the track, upon
which a train was then standing. The
man's left hand grasped a strong leather
halter at the point where it is fastened to
the leading line, while his right hand
held firm hold of a heavy strap buckled
loosely about the horse's throat. Tho
man, who was speaking to the horse in a
low voice, presently began moving with
him over the open space toward the
locomotive, which thus far was perfectly
silent. The horse's open nostrils and
erect ears showed him to be somewhat
excited at the strange apparition, but he
evidently felt assurance in his keeper, by
whose side he had moved with short and
nervous step over perhaps half the dis
tance between himself and the train
when the locomotive suddenly let off
steam.
The terrified creature turned like a
flash, and in so doing' for an instant
swung the man's feet clean off the
ground! But before the horse made the
first spring in the opposite direction the
man's feet were again on solid earth and
he lost hold with neither hand, although
the horse dragged him beyond the place
of starting before be could be stopped.
Casting his eyes around at the still hiss
ing locomotive the horse again sprung
forward, but coaid no more free himself
from the man’s hold than a rat could es
cape from tho teeth of a terr'er. After
a few more futile attempts the horse again
turned around, and this time found him
self able to endure the sight of a locomo
tive. Thus he stool for perhaps two
minutes with staring eyes and quivering
muscles. After a little the steam was
shut off, when the man loosed his hand
from the strap around the horse's throat
aud with it began stroking his neck,
still speaking to him in the same low-
toued voice.
Soon the horse became quite composed,
whereupon the man, again grasping the
throat strap with his right hand, urged
him toward the train as before. With
many stops and snorts of inquiry the
horse permitted himself to be led again
toward the locomotive.wliich.whenhe was
about the same direction from it as the
other time, burst forth into a second
hissing, quite as loud as was tho first.
Again was repeated tiic scene already de
cribcd, but the horse did not drag the
man so far as before, nor did he require
so long a time in which to be quieted.
The steam shut off again, and t.ie man
and horse once more approached the
train, which now moved away from tho
station. The last glimpse of them showed
the horse watching the now accustomed
terror and the man by his side still
grasping the head of the leading line
and stroking the horse's neck—a beauti
ful and expressive illustration of the
power over an intelligent animal of man's
courage, kindness aud patience.—New

DOES FRIT-GROWING PAT?
Fruit-growing ns a whole is. without
doubt, a profitable occupation; jet the
majority of farmers who engage in it are
probably disappointed because their ex
pectations have been placed so high that
the result must necessarily fall below
their hopes. Estimates for future profits
arc often based upon prices received it
the home market for ftuits brought front
a distance. Especially is this true rc
garding small fruits. The grower natu
rally reasons that his home gro wn fruit
will go into the market iu so much bet
ter condition than that which is shipped
from a distance that it will bring quite
as good a price, even if somewhat latei
in season. But by the time his plants
are grown aud the fruit is ready foi
mat set the condition may have changed
Some other grower, not so very fai
away, may have found the cxeellem
opening offered by the same market, aa(
is there as a competitor. His neighbor
have been inspired by the same idea a
about the same time, and are hardly a
season behind him with their products.
Or his first crops, owing to imperfect
methods of cultivation and handling,
knowledge of which can only be obtained
by experience, have failed to come up to
the high standard of his hopes. These
drawbacks may lead him to the eoaclu-
sion, if he is a man easily discouraged,
that fruit-growing is not profitable. Yet,
with all these discouragements, it is
strongly probable that his trial acre of
strawberries, or currants, or blackberries
has paid a better net profit than any pos
sible acre of wheat, or corn, or meadow.
If the acre of fruit has not made a for
tune, it has at least indicated the road to
a better income. If the crop was straw
berries, the experience gained will enable
one to duplicate it to better advantage,
with a better knowledge of the most de
sirable varieties for bis locality. Then
another acre may be put in raspberries
and blackberries, which will follow the
strawberries in the season of harvesting
and marketing. ’ One each may be putin
currants aud gooseberries, which among
small fruits best bear shipping, aud will
enable the cultivator to ted. the value of
other markets after the home trade lias
been supplied. Plums, cherries, peaches,
etc., will follow ip their natural ofder,
until the fruit farm, large or small, be
comes an accomplished fact, and then, if
it is managed as a systematic business, it
will be strange indeed if it does not yield
a handsome return for the capital and
labor invested.
Fruit is every year becoming more
plentiful iu our markets, and the in
creased consumption keeps pace with the
supply. If this condition forbids great
profits to the individual specialist iu
fruit culture, it improves the cbauccs for
the best icterest of agriculture at large.
It is better that many should be able to
acquire a competence than that one shall
make a fortune, and it is one of the be
nign influences of our progressive agri
culture that we can put within the reach
of ail classes the most wholesome cf
foods. Fruits which were once known
only as delicacies by the masses are now
upon their tables daily in their respec
tive seasons.
As our population increases, farmers
all through the great eastcru aud middle
sections of the country cultivate mainly
the smaller and more delicate products
of the soil. The orchard, the garden,
and the dairy will take the place of grain
fields; aud the farmer who plans to
follow this line, content with moderate
returns, will not be the one to exclaim
that fruit-growing is unprofitable.—

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
The best fed fruit tree is the last on*
attacked by insects.
It is cheaper to haul than to drive the
fat hogs to the railway station.
Frost is blamed ior killing many an
orchard tree that is starved to death.
It is economy to dispense with fences
as much as possible, and it is convenient.
The roads ot a neighborhood are a strong
indication of the character of its inhabit
ants.
There is nothing so easy to grow in
this world as weeds, and nothing else is
so profitless.
The farm may not yield big profits, but
is there any other calling so sure to gain
a man a living?
The secrets of large yields always and
everywhere are rich soil, good seal and
thorough tillage.
Clover and oat straw fed together furn
ish more nutriment, pound for pound,
than timothy hay.
A trotting match between the cows
and the dog may lie interesting, but it
does not make butter.
You are under no obligation to loan to
the person that does not promptly return
articles in good order.
Save up all the manure you can and
spread it on your land next fall and
plow it under lightly.
We want to get rid of scrub land and
scrub farming, as well as of scrub stock.
Grade up alt along the line!
Mr. W. H. Gilbeti, a New York dairy
expert, says “the mau who takes care of
the cows makes the butter.”
A score of farmers fail because they
try to do something other than farming,
where one fails by sticking to farming.
If your horses shrink from you, when
you enter their stall?, do some detective
work on your hired help, or—yourself.
Shelter your wagons, plows and other
implements from the sun as well as from
the rain. One is about as destructive as
the other.
Get a stencil and put your name on
your larger farming implements, sacks,
etc. Get a die, and stamp your name on
smaller implements.
Reset and repair your fences during the
interval between laying by and harvesting
the crops. Make the fence straighter,
build it up higher and be sure to stop all
the big cracks.
It is a curious fact that some men
would rather make five dollars by trad
ing horses than twenty-live dollars by
housing farming implements.
A cow that has to get her living by
gnawing the parched pasture, under an
August sue, without other feed, is not
likely to make a great show at the pail.
It is said that a mixture of two parts
by weight of cottonseed meal to one of
good hard wood ashes make almost a per
fect fertilizer for general crops. Try it.
One of the very finest fertilizers for
melons is old bones, gathered up and re
duced by placing them in alternate layers
with ashes the previous yesr to using
them.
Prepare your land for fail turnip
patches. Break it up deep aud thoroughly
and harrow well. Bo sure the ground U
well manured. An old cow pen is oue
of the best places about the farm for a
turnip patch.
The price of the cow does not indicate
her value as a producer. Gilt edged but
ter is something that depends on how it
is made. The cow gives the milk, but
upon the management of the milk, cream
and butter depend the quality.

When Delmonico’s Hotel, at the cor

built, in 1835, two handsome marble
pillars, with their corresponding steps,
were brought from Pompeii and erected
at the entrance. They had previously
been at the entrance of some old temple.
When the hotel was demolished many

Text: “Then the Kina commanded, and
then brovght Daniel and cost him into the
den of Hone,''—Daniel vi., lit.
Darius was King of Babylon, and the
young man Daniel was so much a favorite
with him that he made him Prime Minister
orKceretary of State. But no man conlel
gnin such a high position without exciting
the envy and jealousy of the people. There
were demagogues in Babylon who were so
apprec'ative of their own abilities that they
were affronted at the elevation of this young
man. Old Babylon was afraid of young
Babylon, The taller the cedar the more apt
it is to be riven of the lightning.
These demagogues ns red tha King to make
a deerte that anybody that made a petition
to anyone except tho King within thirty days
should 1)0 put to death. King Darius, not
suspecting foul piny, makes that decree. The
demagogues have accomplished all they
want, because they know that no one can
keep Daniel from sending petitions before
God for thirty days.
6o far from being afraid, Daniel goes on
with his supplications three times a day. and
is found ou bis housetop making prayer. He
is caught in the act. Ho is condemned to be
devoured by tho lions. Rough executioners
of the law seize him and hasten him to the
cavern. I hear the growl of the wild beasts,
and 1 see them pawing the dust, and as they
put their mouths to iho ground tbo solid
earth quakes with their bellowing. I see their
eyes roll, and I almost hear tho fiery eye
balls snap in the dnrkuess. These monsters
approach Daniel. They have an appetite
keCn with hunger. With one strobe ot their
paw or one snatch of thoir teeth they may
leave him dead at the bottom of the cavern.
But w hat a strange welcome Daniel receives
from these hungry monsters! They fawn
around him; they lick his hand; they bury
his feet iu their long manes. That night he
has calm sleep, with his head pillowed ou the
warm necks of tho tamed Hons.
But not so well docs Darius the Kingsleep
He loves Daniel, and hates this stratagem by
which he has been condemned. All night
long tho King walks tho floor. Re cannot
sleep. At the least sound he starts and his
flesh creeps with horror. He is impatient
for tho dawning of tho morning. At tho
first streak of tho daylight Darius hastens
forth to see the fate of Daniel. The heavy
palace doors open and Hang shut long before
the people of the citv waken. Darius goes to
thedeuof lions; he looks iu. Allis silent. Ho
heart stops. He feels that the very worst
has happened; hut gathering all his strength
he shouts through the rifts of the rock: “O
Daniel! is the Got! whom thou servest con
tinually able to deliver thee?” There comes
rolling up from the deep darkness a voice
which tats: “OKing! live forever. My God
has sent His angel to shut tho lions’ mouths
that they have not hurt me.''
Then Daniel is brought out from the den.
The demagogues are hurled into it, aud no
sooner have iticy struck the bottom of the
den than their flesh was rent, and their
hones cracked, and their blood spurted
through the rifts of Hie rock, and as the
lions mnko the rocks tremble with their
roar they onnounco to all ages that while
God will defend His people the way of the
ungodly shall perish.
Learn first from this subject that the
greatest crime that you can eemmit in the
eyes of many is the crime of success. IVhat
had Daniel done that he should be flung to
tho lions? Ho got to l>o prime minister.
Tbey could not forgive him for that, and he
boid in that a touch of unsanctifled human
nature as soon in nil ages of the world. Bo
tong as you aro pinched in poverty, so long
as you are running the gauntlet between
landlord and thetax gatherer, so long ns you
find it hard ivork to educate your children,
there are people who will say, ‘Toor man, 1
7 for liiir ' 1 ■
f r # •**** cmj^ x wv/i man, x
or him; he ought to succeed, poor
man!”
But after a while tho tide turns in your
favor. That was a profitable investment
you made. You bought at just the right
time. Fortune becomes good humored and
smiles upon you. Now you nre being in some
department successful your success chills
some one. Those men who used to sym
pathize with you stand along the street,
and they scowl at you from under the rim
of their hats. You have more money
or more influence Ilian they have,
and you ought to bo scowled at from under
the rim of their hats. You catch a word or
two us you pass by I hem. “Stuck up,” says
one one. "Got it dishonestly,” savsauother
“Will hurst soon,” says a third. Every
stonp in your new house is laid on their
hearts. A our horse's hoofs went over their
nerves.
Every item of your success has been to
them an item of discomfiture and despair.
Just as soon as in any respect you rise
above your fellows, if you are more virtu
ous, if you aro more wise, if you are more
influential, you cast a shadow on the pros
pect of others. The road to honor aim
success is within reach of tho enemy’s
guns. Jealousy says, “.Stay down or I'll
knock you down.” “I do not like you,”
said tho snowflake to the snowbird. ‘‘Why
don't you like me''” said the snowbird.
“Oh!” said the snowflake, “you are going
up and I am coming down.” Young mer
chants, young lawyers, young doctors, young
mechanics, young artists, young farmers, at
certain times there were those to sym
pathize with you, hut now that you are'be
coming master of your particular occupa
tion or profession, how is it now, young
lawyers, young doctors, young artists, young
farmers—how is it now V The greatest crime
that you can commit is the crime of success.
Again, my subject impresses mo with th«
value of decision of character in any depart
ment. Daniel knew llial if he eontinuod bin
adherence to the religion of the Lord he
would be hurled to the lions, hut having set
his compass well he sailed right on.
For the lack of th.il clement of decision ot
character so eminent in Daniel many men
are mined for this world, and ruined for the
world to come. A great many at forty
years of ago are not settled in ally respect,
because they have not been able to make up
their mind. I’erhaps they will go West Per-
Imps they will go East. Perhaps they will
not. I’erhaps they will go North. Perhaps
they may go South. Perhaps they will not
Perhaps they may make that invest
ment in real estate or in railroads
Perhaps they will not. They aro like
a steamer that should go out ot
New York harbor, starling for Glasgow,and
the next day should cliango for Havre dc
Grace, and the next for Charleston, anil the
next for Boston, and the next for Liverpool
—these men on the sea of life, everlastingly
tacking shin and making no headway. Or
they are like a man who starts to build a

Young man, start right and keep on.
Have decision of character. Character is
like the goldfinch of Tonquin: it is magnifi
cent while standing firm, but losses all its
beauty in flight. How much decision of
character in order that these young men may
be Christians! Their old associates make
nrcastic tiingo at them. They go on excur
sions and they do not invite them. They
prophesy that he will give out. They won
der if he is not getting wings. As he passes
they grimace and wink and chuckle, and
say, “fhere goes a saint."
Ob, young man, liavo decision of charac
ter. You can afford in this matter of relig
ion to lie laughed at. What do you care for
the scoffs of these men. who aro affronted
tiecause you will not go to ruin with them?
AVhen the grave cracks open under their
feet, and grim messengers push them into it,
and eternity comes (town hard uoon their
spirit, and conscience stings, and hopeless
ruin lifts them up to hurl tnem down, wiil
they laugh then?
1 learn also from my subject that men
may take religion into their worldly busi
ness Daniel bed enough work to do to
occupy six men. All the affairs of state
were in his hand-questions of finance,
questions of war, of peace, all international
questions were for his settlement or ad
justment. He must have had a corre-
spondcuce vast beyond all computation.
There was not a man in all tho earth who
hud more to do than Daniel, the Secretary
of State, and yet we find him three times a
day bowing before God in prayer. There
are men in our day who have not a hun-
dredth part of Dmiiel's engagements who say
they nre too busy to bo religious. They
have an idea somehow that religion will spoil
their worlclly occupation, Hint it will trip
I he accountant’s pen, or dull the carpenter’s
saw, or confuse tho lawyer's brief, or disar
range Hie merchant's store shelf.
They think religion is impertinent. They
would like to have it very well seated be
side them in church on tho Sabbath, to find
the place in tho pialm book, or to node*
them awake when they get sleepy under
the didactic discourse; or they would like
to leave it In the paw on Sabbath aveniag,
as they go out closing tho door, saying:
“Good night, religion; I’ll bo back next
Sunday!" But to bare religion go right
along by them all through life, to have re
ligion looking over their shoulder when
they are making a bargain, to have religion
take np a bag of dishonest gold and shake
it. and say: “Ha! ha! where did you get
that?’ they think that is an impertinent
religion. They would like to have a re
ligion to help them when they aro sick, and
when tho shadow of death coines over them
they would like to have religion as a sort of
night-key with which to ojien the door of
heaven; but religion under other circum
stances they take to be au impertinence.
Now, my friends, religion never robbed a
man of a dollar. Other things heing equal, a
mason will build a bettor wall, a - cabinet
maker will make a bettor chair, a plumber
will make a better pipe, a lawyer will make
a bettor plea, a merchant will sell a better
bill of goods.
I say other things being equal. Of course
when religion gives a mau a new heart it
does not propose to give him a new head, ot
to intellectualize him, or to ehnugo a man’s
condition when tiis ordinary state is an over-
throwot the philosophical theory thatatotal
vacuum is impossible; but the more letters
you have to write, tho more burdens you
have to carry, the more miles you have to
travel, the more burden-; you have to lilt,
the more engagements you have to meet, tho
more disputes you hrvo to settle, the more
Opportunity you have ot being a Christian.
If you have a thousand irons in the fire
you nave a thousand more opportunities c
salving God than if you had only one iron
m the fire. Who so busy as Christ? And
yet who a millionth part ns holy’ The
busiest men tho best men All the persons
converted in Scripture busy at the time ot
their being converted. Matthew attendin'’
to his custom house duties, the Prodigal Son
feeding swine; Lydia selling purple; Simon
Peter hauling in tho net from the sea; Saul
spurring his horse toward Damascus, going
down on his law business. Busy! |,u,v!
Daniel with all the affairs of state weighing
down Ufion his soul, and yet three a day
worshiping the God ot Heaven.
Again, 1 learn from this subject that a man
may take religion into his polities. Daniel
had a'j the affairs of state on hand, yet a
Christian He could not have kept his ele
vated position unless he had been a thorough
politician; and yet all the thrusts of officials
and all Iho danger of disgrace did not make
him yield one iota oflds high toned religious
principle. He stood before that age he
stands bsfore all ages, a specimen of a Chris-
tian politician.
So there have been in out- day nn I in the
days of our fathers men as eminent in the
serviceof God as they have been eminent in
the service of tho Ste*’. Such was Benja
min F. Butler, Attorney-General of Now
York, in the time of your fathers. Such
was John McLean, of Ohio. Such was Geo.
Briggs, of Massachusetts. Such was Theo
dore Frelinghuvsen, of New Jersey. Men
faithful to the State, at the same time faith
ful to God.
It is absurd to expect that men who have
been immersed in political wickedness for
thirty or forty years shall come to reforma
tion; and our hope is in tho young men who
are coming up, that they have patriotic
principle and Christian principle side by side
when they come to the ballot box and cast
their first vote, and that they swear allege
mice to the government of heaven as well ns
to the Government of the United States. Wo
would have Bunker Hill mean less to them
than Calvary, and lexington mean less to
them than Bethlehem.
But because there are bad men around the
ballot box is no reason why Christian men
should retreat from Hie arena. The Inst
time you ought to give up your child or for
sake your child is when it is surrounde I by a
company of Choctaws; ami tho last time to
sun-ender tho ballot box is when it is sur
rounded by impurity aud dishonesly and nil
sorts of wickedness.
Daniel stood on a most unpopular plat
form. He stood firmly, though the dema
gogues of the day hissed at him and tried to
overthrew him. We must can y our religion
into our politics. But there aro n great
inany men who are in favor of taking religion
into national politics who do not sec the im
portance of taking it into citv politics; as
though a man were intelligent about the
welfare of his neighborhood and had no con
cern about his own home.
Religion would drive out all base person
alities from politics. You have a right to
discuss men’s politics amt denounce their
political sentiments, or receive them as you
will, but you have no right to assail their
private character, ns is done every autumn.
That is not carrying religion into politics.
Now you can always tell without asking, in
any contest, what candidate I will vote for.
It is always for the man who is most bad
gered, and most abused, and most opit upon,
and most howled at. You have a'right to
contest n man’s political sentiments; you
have no right, for base political purposes, to
assail bis private moral character.
My subject also impresses mo with tho
fact that lions cannot um-t a good man. No
man ever got into worse company than
Daniel got into when ho was thrown into
the den. tVhat a rare morsel that fair
young man would have been for the hungry
monstors! If they had plunged at him he
could not have climbed into a niche beyond
the reach of their paw or the snatch of their
tooth. They came pleased all around about
him as a hunter's hounds at the well known
whistle come bounding to his feet.
You nee t not go to Numidiato get among
the lions. You all have had thstn after yon

sickness, tho Jion of persecution. You saw

the banks and all the insurance companie.*
quaked. With his nostril ho scattered the
ashes on the domestic hearth. You have
had trial after trial, misfortune after mis
fortune, lion after lion; aud yet they havo
never hurt you if you put your trust in God,
and they never will hurt you. They did
not hurt Daniel, and they cannot hurt you.
The Persians used to think that spring rain
falling into sea shells would turn into pearls;
and I have to tell you that the tears of sor
row turn into precious gems when they drop
into God’s bottle. Y’ou need be afraid of
nothing putting your trust in God. Even
death, that monster lion whoso den is the
world’s sepulchre, and who puts his paw
down amid thousunds of millions of the dead,
cannot affright you.
When in olden times a man was to get the
honors of knighthood he was compelled
to go fully armed the night before among
the tombs of the dead, carrying a sort of
spear, and then when tho day broke ho
would come forth, and amid the sound of
cornet and great parade he would jjfet tha
honors of knighthood. And so it will lie
with the Christian in the night before
heaven, as fully anned with spear and hel
met of salvation he will wait and watch
through the darkness until the morning
dawns, and then he will take the honors of
heaven amid that great throng with snowy
robes streaming over seas of sapphire.
AN ANTI-TREATING LEAGUE.
Perhaps the observing citizen miy liavo
noticed a peculiar-appearing bronze badge,
patterned after a four-leaf clovei and fast
ened in tho lap pel of sundry coats, tt is
evidently a stranger upon the s.ione, and if
the citizen’s curiosity is arouse 1 he will ex
amine closely. Ho will seo upon it in raised
script letters tho words: “Anti Treating
League.” The words havo a significant
sound, and the curious ones will naturally
ask a question or two. lie will ascertain
that this anti-treating league is n society
without any ofllcers, by-laws, constitution or
meeting place. He will also ascertain that
no meetings of any kind are hold, and that
tho mom hers of the organization—if it can
be dignified by tho name, have no opportu
nities to confer with one another, unless it is
when they meet upon tho streat. All these
anti-treaters are not tetotalcrs by any
means. They do not all scornfully refuse a
drink, but they do in a determined muinor
refuse to return any compliment of the kind
that may bo tendero 1 to thorn. They give
every treater to understand tint, while they
may drink with him, ho may never drink
with them.
It is not from any lofty motive that they
pursue this somewhat odd course and ad
here to this somewhat exceptionable prin
ciple. They aro opposed to treat ing bxnus3
it is an expensive habit. “If I treat every
one that treats me,’* they reason, I s mil havo
to have a purse as long us a yard stick/' So
they give up tho practice altogether and
perhaps they are wise. There is no perhaps
about it. Their wisdom is of tho practical
kind. The habit that Americans have of
inviting a half-dozen friends to stand in
front of a bar and pour down the liquid is
one wholly without sense. And, besides, it
is exceedingly burdensome upon the pocket
book.—Wasniiwloii Star.

NOTHING AND SOMETHING.
[t is nothing to me, tho beauty said.
With a careless toss of her pretty head,
The man is weak if ho can’t refrain
From the cup you say is fraught with pain-
hut *
It was something to her in after years.
When her eyes were full of burning tears.
And she watched in lonely grief and dreau,
And started to hear a staggering tread.
It is nothing to me, tho mother said;
I have no fear that my boy will tread
The downward path of sin and shame,
And crush ray heart and darken his name—
But
It w T as soncthing to her when that only son
From the path of right was early won,
And madly cast in the flowing bowl
A ruined body and sin-wrecked soul.
It is nothing me, the merchant said,
As over his ledger he l>ent his head,
lam busy to-day with tare trot,
Aud have no time to froth and fret—
But
It was something to him when over tho wire
A message came from a funeral pyre;
A drunken conductor had wrecked a train,
And his wife and child wore among the slain.
It is nothing to me. the young man said;
In his eye was n flash of scorn and pride;
I heed not the dreadful things you tell,
I can rule myseif, I know full well—
But
'Twas something to him when in prison ho
lay
The victim of drink, life ebbing away.
As he thought of his wretched child and
wife.
And the mournful wreck of his wasted life.
It’s nothing to me. tho voter said,
The party’s loss is my greatest dread—
'i hen gave his vote foifctUe liquor trade,
Tho’ hearts were crushed and drunkards
made—
But
It was something to him’in after life,
When his daughter became a drunkard's
wife,
And her hungry children cried for bread.
Ami trembled to hear their father’s tread.
It is nothing to us to idly sleep
While the cohorts ©{.death their vigils keep.
To gather the young ami thoughtless iu—
And grind in our midst a grist of sin—
But
It is something—yes, all, for us to stand
And clasp 1 y faith our Saviour’s hand—
To learn to labor, live aud light
On the side of Go l and changeless right.

TAUGHT TO DRINK RY HER HUSBAND.
A week or so ago a young woman giving
tho name of Mrs. Belle Webber was taken to
the city receiving hospital tp be treated for
morphine poisoning. She tol l the attending
surgeons that she had swallowed a dose of
the poison at her room on California street a
short time before. Though tho stomach
pumps were promptly applied, the internal
aratorny of tho sufferer persistently refused
to yield anything bearing a closer resem
blance to morphine poisoning than a large
quantity of malt, vinous and spirituous
liquors. Dr. Bunker speedily reached the
conclusion that it was simply a plain case of
chronic drunkenness. He informed the wo
man of his opinion ns he disrnisse 1 her.
Early yesterday morning a Ho ward street
physician telephoned to tho receiving hos
pital that a woman was about to die in his
office from strychnine poisoning. He
wanted hell). He received a reply that if his
1 patient wanted the services of hospital phy
sicians sho would have to goto the receiv
ing hospital. Accordingly, half an hour
later a hack rolled up to the hospital door
and a wotnau alighted t herefrom. She was
at once recognize 1 as Mrs. Webber. The
doctor understood the case ot once, and, in
stead of administering strychnine antidotes,
he treated her for alcoholism. She speedily
recovered, and to a reporter related an in
teresting story.
She is not over thirty years old and is still,
despite her dissipation, quite handsome. She
is a sister-in-law of State Senator Meanv, of
Merced County, ami her husband is John
Webber, proprietor of the Webber Hotel at
Stockton. She has been t wice marrie I. Her
first husband, shesays, induced her to drink,
nnd when she married Webber the thirst was
i already strongly develope 1. Her husband.
| seeing this, misused her and she recently fled
j from home to escape his abuse. She says she
| came to this city last Tuesday, on money
j furnished her by a Stockton Police Judge,
j She began drinking as soon as she reached
| the city nnd is now on the verge ot delirium
j tremens. She has a twelvc-ycar-old daugh-
| ter living with her parents in Merced.—Son

NO LIQUOR IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Chief Justice Dighton Corson, of the South
Dakota Supremo Court, has handol down n
decision that has been awaited with great in-
| terest in all parts of the State. In effect, it
floes away with the sale of intoxicating
! liquor as required by tho stringent laws al-
ready enacted. He affirms the constitution-
I ality of the law and gives tho county courts
lulf juris liction to fine nnd imprison liquor
sellers without interference of grand juries
| or other courts.
I His decision is very long, covering the
| ground thoroughly, and was made up on a
writ of habeas corpus in the case of Robert
Evans, an original package dealer of Pierre,
who was fined $100 with two months’
imprisonment by tho county judge, and went
before the Supremo Court on the writ on
the grounds of no jurisdiction in tha court

CORPORATIONS TEACH TEMPERANCE.
Tho temperanco movement is having a
substantial backing from a strictly business
quarter. The New'Jersey Central Railroad
bus followed tho example of Vanderbilt's
lines and issued an order forbidding on pen*
alty of dismissal all employes of the road to
take anything intoxicating cither while on
or off duty. Naturally this order has stirred
up some feeling among tho employes, who do
not as a rule, profess to bo total abstainers,
and the leeling is not, perhaps, as warmly
commendatory of the order ns is that of the
traveling public. Temperance could havo
no stronger indorsement than tho fact that
these great roads enforce it an a matter of
policy, aud it is undoubtedly truo thatdrink-
lug habits arc going more and more out of
fashion. One hears much less often tho well-
worn phrase: “A very brilliant fellow whoa
he is sober.” In the keen competition of tho
present day to mnko his way in tho world a
man needs to have nil his wils about him,
which bo cannot havo when his brain is
stupefied by drink.—IFas/nar/fmt Star.
On the mend
—the consumptive who’s not bo
reft of judgment nnd good sense-
lie’s taking Dr. Fierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. If taken in
time and given a fair trial, it will
effect a cure. Consumption is
Lung-scrofula. For Scrofula, in its
myriad forms, and for a!! Liver,
Blood and Lung diseases, tho “Dis
covery” is an unequalled remedy.
It’s the only guaranteed one. If
it doesn’t benefit or cure, you get
your money back. You only pay
for the good you got.
“Discovery” strengthens Weak
Lungs, and cures Spitting of Blood,
Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis,
Severe Coughs, and kindred affec
tions. Don’t be fooled into taking
something else, said to be “ just as
good,” that the dealer may make a
larger profit. There’s nothing at
all like the “Discovery.” It con
tains no alcohol to inebriate; no
syrup or sugar to derange di
gestion. As peculiar in its cura
tive effects as in its composition.
Equally good for adults or children.
