INTOXICATING LIQUORS.-Tht
useof intoxicating liquors involves
an expense, which, when summed
up, is positively astonishing. The
old proverb, ga penny saved is
two pence clear, groat a day is
apound a year,"is applicable with
great face to the habit of drink
ing. Taking the average daily
expenditure for splrituous liquors
at 30 cents, man who INDUCES
will at the end of the year have
spent s109 90, or the interest, at
8 per cent, on 81, ,S25, and at the
end of ten years viii have spent
Sl,O95. Comparing this positive
waste of money to the sum ex
pended in the purchase of actual
necessaries, it is, computed that a
family. of five persons will con
sumo in one year four barrels OF
flour, or 1885 pounds of bread
Good flour can now be bought fol
81 a barrel, consequently fami
ly OF five persons can be furnished
with -four for d year at S2S, OF
SS1 30 less than the supposed ex
penditure for intoxicating drinks
Putting the case in another way
it will be seen that the none,
wasted in one year by one indiyid
ual who uses spirits would buy
flour enough to feed four familie,
OF five persons each.

BETTER FARMNG.-People
talk of better farming. but with
some vague ideaof making more
money, or having more desirable
looking farms; but just how to ac-
compIish this is the point not so
easily ascertained as would ap
spear at the onset. Farming, or
rather agriculture, embraces with
in itself.a vast variety OF products.
and these products must be grown
on a great variety of soils, and in
climates very dissimilar. In. the
teaching of the management oi
these matters; of crops, soils and
climate, we must get our starting
! point from nature. We must
learn what crops are best suited
to certain soils, and in certain
temperatures. Then, again, VIZ
must take into account what skill
and cabital we have to operate
with, and, lastly, we must pay dn,
regard to the market demands
These several things constitute
the science of agriculture.-( Chi

How COFFEE CAME TO BE

How COFFEE CANE TO BE
UsED.-At the time that Co.nm-
bus discovered America, coift e
had never been known or used.
The discovery ofits use as a drine
is ascribed to the superior Of u
monastery in Arabia, who was de-
sirous of preventing the monks
from sleeping at their nocturnal
services. He made them drink
an infusion of coffee upon the re
port of some shepherds, who OBJ
served that their flocks were more
lively after they had browsed upon
the fruit of this plant. It's repu-
tation spread rapidly through the
adjacent countries, and in about
two hundred years it reached
Paris. A single plant brought
there in 1914, became the parent
stock of all the coffee plantations
in the West Indies. The extent
of its consumption can hardly be
realized. The United Statesalon,
annually consumese at the cost o
its landing from Sl4,0OO.O0O to
S15,00O,O00. You know the Ara
bian, or Mocha coffee by its small
bean and dark color-the best.
Java and East India, the next in
quality, is a large bean and of a
yellow color. The West India
Rio is of q blue, greenish gray

"When God in his eternal coun-
sci conceived the thought of man's
creation, he called to him the
ministers who wait constantly up
on the throne-Justice, Truth and
Mercy and thus addressed them:
"Shall we make MANI" Then
said Justice, 40 God, make him
not, for he will trample upoa thy
laws.p Truth made answer also,
20 God, make him not, for he will
pol!ute thy sanctuarieS." But
Mercy, dropping upon her knees
and looking up through her tears,
exclaimed, 20 God, make him-l
will watch over him with my care
through all the dark paths which
he may have to tread" Ther
