COMMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT.
/ return this OF anoxious measure with
out my approval. The man who in

voted for it are scheming British agents
and the men who say this is not the
case are liars and horse-thieves. I Judge
that, on an average, every man, wom-
an and child in America uses a ton of
guano year in some shape or other:
whether as the farmer in New York,
Louisiana, Colorado, Podunk, ETC., in
agriculture, or as Charles A. Dana, for
editorial articles. We thus consume,
in round figures, 40,0O0, 900 of tons of
guano annually. The arbitrary and
revolutionary act which 1 veto to-day
would thus impose tax of four mil
lions of dollars year on our people,

The Custom of Treatinp

If could persuade all the young peo-
pie of Eimira never to treat each other,
nor be treated, think one half of the
danger from our strong drink would be
gone. If l Icannot get you to sign the
total abstinence pledge, binding until
You are 30, l would be glad to have you
promise three things: First, never to
drink on the sly, alone; second, never
to drink socially, treating or being
treated; third, when you drink, do il
openly, and in the presence OF some
man or woman whom you respect.
Now, boys, if you wish to be gener-
Gus and treat each other, why not select
some other shop beside the liquor shop?
Suppose, as you go by the Postoffice,
you say, Come, boys, come in and take
some stamps" These stamps will do
your friends real good and will cost
you no more than drinks all round. Or
go by the tailor's store and say, ''Boys,
come in and take box of collars. y
Walk up to the counter, free and gener-
Gus, and say, "What style will you
have !" Why not treat to collars as
well as treat to drinks? Or go by d
confectioner's and propose to chocolate
drops all found. Or say, "Boys, take a
newspaper" Or say, "Pll stand a jack
knife all round"
How does it happen that we have
fallen into habit almost compulsory,
of social drinking P You drink many
a time when asked to, when really you
do not want to. Whena man has treat
ed you, you feel mean and indebted,
and keep sort of account current in
your mind and treat him. And SO in
the use of just that agent, which at the
very best is a dangerous one, you join
hand in hand to help each other to ruin
instead of hand in hand to help each
other to temperance ThoS. K.Beect-
er.

Thinning Fruit.

Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, in his adj
dress before the American Pathological
Convention at Richmond, Va, stated:
This is lesson which we have learn
ed, and the necessity of which we have
often endeavored to impress upon cul-
tivators, and every successive season
teaches with stronger emphasis. 1t is
absolutely necessary for all who send
fruit to market to send large fruit, and
the markets are constantly and pro-
gressiveiy requiring large and fine
fruits. Even the Seckel pear, which
once commanded in Boston market the
highest price, will not now, unless of
extra size, sell for any more, ifas much,
as common varieties of larger size. A
medium sized fruit, or even one of
smaller size, may be more. economical
for use, but until some decided change
in the preferences of the majority Of
purchasers Shall take place, large fruit
will sell better than small.
To produce this, the fruit must not
only have good cultivation but must
be thinned, and we agree with Mr..
Meehan that 'one half the trees which
bear fruit every year ould be benefit
ted by having one-half of the fruit TAX
en- offas soon as it is we'll set, and that
the ovyrbearing of a tree will in a few
years destroy it.'aWe may lay it down
as certain rule,a that excessive pro-
duction is always at the expense of
both quantity and quality; if not in.
the same season then in succeeding
ones, for when branch is contending
with branch, leaf with leaf, and fruit
with fruit, for its supply of light and
food, it would be indeed an anomaly
in nature if this should not result in
permanent injury to the trees as well
as to the annual crop.

Fwo troublesome words,

There are two words in the English
language which are the cause of more
annoyance to newspaper writers than
all other words combined. These
words are strategic" and ''impostor. .
The. aDlest of compositors and proof
readers have wrestled with them in
vain. strategic" is sure to come out
in print .'stragetic " or "strategetic, u
and. ssimpostorn almost invariably con-
fronts the reader in this shape: "Im-
poster" There are several other words,
such as 'lose," bouquet, and "bis.
cult, F" which get into print in fantastic
shapes, but their transformations are
not to be compared with the ravages
committed on strategic" and ''impos.
tor" If every typo in the country
could raise money enough to procure a
copy of these words in corrected form
and then paste them in his hat, he
would be doing himself and country q

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and l consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
