VOL. XXI---NO. 8.
A Drunken Farm.

Often and often, while riding through
the country have we passed farms whose
history we could read at glance. The
door-yard fence had disappeared-burpt
up in the shiftlessness born of drink. The
houses were Imprinted and battered brok =.
en- panes ofglass were stopped with RAGS
or old hats the chimney stood in a tot-
ering attitude; the doors swung in
creaky condition on one hinge; the steps
were unsteady, like its owner; everything
was dliipidated, decaying, unsteady, cheer.
less: A single look showed that its owner
traded too much at the shop-the rum
shop. The spirit of thrift had been killed
by the spirit of the still. Fresh paint, re-
pairs, improvements, good cheer, and beau
ty for the home-all had gone down the
farmers throat. Outside matters were the
same. The barnyard's wretched STAYS the
gates down, the carts crazy, the tools brok-
en-, the fodder scarce, and the stock poor
and wretched. Neglect, cruelty, waste
fulness, ruin-all had come from drink
The farm showed the trail of the same SER
pent. The struggling and tumbled stone
wall, the ricketty fences, the weed grown
fields, the sparse and halfheaded crops,
the dying orchard, all said to the passer
by; Whisky did it." Drink had given
the plaster of a mortgage instead of
coating OF fertilizers; sloth, instead of
labor; unthrift in the place of care, and
generalization in lieu of system. The
farm was drink-blighted, and advertised
its condition as plainly as its owner did
when he came reeling home from the town.
one OF the most impressive temperance
lectures, for young farmers especially, is a
good look at drunken farm.

WHAT Is GLYCERINE This question
is often asked, and an answer would be of
use to many, for it is an article that is
much used, and ought to be found in every
household. 1t is principle which exists
in fat and fats are a combination of CIV
cerine. Lard, after the lard oil has been
pressed out, is chiefly compound of stear-
ic acid and glyceripe. Where the best
candles are manufactured, the compound
is broken up, and the stearic acid is used
Tor candles, while the glycerine is cleansed
and put up for sale. Pure glycerine should
be quite thick and colorless liquid. 1t
has no odor; its name is from the Greek
word meaning sweet, and this term points
out one of its most prominent characters
tlcs-lts sweetness. From its underlying
qualities it is very remarkable. If spread
out and exposed to tue air, it remains un-
changeable for a long time. 1t will not
mix with oils, but mixes freely with al
cohol and with water, and has a solvent
power for many drugs. In medical prepa-
ratlons it is much used instead of sugar.
we all know of its excellent qualities for
chapped and sore hands, face and lips.
keeping the parts from the air and is much
more convenient than any other oily mat
tiers. Diluted with water it makes good
hair dressing, keeping the hair smooth
and moist and rendering it easily combed.
Glycerine does not freeze or evaporate. 1t
is used instead of molasses to mix in glue,
to form the rollers by which ink is applied
to type. 1t is extensively used in cities to
put in gas metres, and in many other ways.
These arc only few of the uses to which
it can be put. 1t would be still more gen
orally used if people knew the virtue of
this interesting chemical product.

Autobiography Of a Newfoundland Dog.

The following autobiography of dog
will be interesting to our younger rea4lers
All that he is supposed to tell about him
self is true, and hundreds of other wonder
full things that he has done, might also b.
related:
My name is Cesar Caesar TAYLOR
some folks say, and one lady calls me
Pretty don't object to pet names,
once in while, but I believe like
Cesar best. l am a large, black New
foundland dog, three years old live
about half mile from Perrymansyille.-
l can't remember much that happened be-
fore l was year old. The only thing I
can call to mind now is the good times I
had with my three little black brothers in
our old hogshead. This old hogshead was
at our store, about aquarter of mile from
where | now live. After I got little
larger l used to follow my master, and for
the last year or two the hardest work
have done was to escort the ladies home
after tea from my masters house, and carry
notes and bundles between the store and
home.
swell, once last summer was awfully
tired. The very warm weather was hard
on us dogs, too. My master wanted me to
60 up to the store after dinner and get him
some cigars. | ran down into the cellar
