Wine and strong drink form another
candle in which millions of men have
signed themselves, and destroyed beth
body and soul Here the signs are
more apparent than in the other form
of sensuality, because there Is less
secrecy. The candle burns In open
space, where all men can see it. Law
sits behind and sanctions its burning.
1t pays a Princely revenue to the gov
ernment. Women faunt their gauzee
in it. Clergymen sweep their robes
through it. Responsibility uses it to
light its banquets. In many regions Of
this country it is a highly respectable
candle. Yet, every year, six thousand
persons die of intemperauce and when
we think of the blasted lives thst live
In want and m ssry, OF wives in des-
air, of loves bruised and bioated out.
of children disgraced, of alms-houses
filled, of crimes committed through It's
influence, of industry extinguished and
disease engendered, and remember tha,
this has been going on for thousands Of
years, wherever wine has been known.
what are We to think of the men who
still pass into the fret Have they any
more sense than mothsl 1t is almost
enough to shake mans faith in immor
ality to learn that he belongs to a rae.
that manifests 50 little sense, and sucl
hopeless recklessness.
There is just one way of safety, anC
only one, and a young man who stand
at the beginning of his career car
choose whether he viii walk in it or il
the way of danger. There is notion
abroad among men that wine is good
that when properly used it has help il
it.-that In certain way it is food, o.

TIE LASGUAcE OF CoEoRs.

The following is said to be the French
method of the meaning attached to
colors, but it appears to US to smack
rather of the laboratory than of genuine
sentiment They hold out that violet
is analogous to friendship, blue to love
as suggested by blue eyes and azure sky.
A bunch of violets would, therefore,
tell q lady's suitOr that friendship Is all
that he has a right to expect. Yellow
is paternity, or maternity; it is the vel
low ray Of the spectrum which causes
the germ to shoot. Red 6sares am
bition; indigo, the spirit Of rivalry;
green, the love of change, fckleness,
but also work; orange, enthusiasm !;
white, unity, universally; black, favor.
itism, the influence exerted by an indi-
vidual. Certain persons have the Gift
of fascinating all who approach them !;
and black, which absorbs all the rays of
the spectrum, is the reverse of white,
which combines them in one. Beside
the seven primitive colors, gray indicates
poverty; brown, pruderv; pink, modes
ty; silver-gray (semi-whitel feeble love;
lilac, (semi-violet) feeble friendahip; pale
pink, false shame.

When dry salt is rubbed into fresh
meats brine soon forms, amounting N
bulk to one-thfrd the huid contained IN
the raw flesh. Liebeg ascertained that
this fluid contained the chief eonssitu
ents of . concentrated soap or IN
fusion of meat, and that therefore
the sailing process changes ss.e compost
ton of the meat mere than boiling In
boiling, where the meat is ssl4cesl IN
boiling water, the albumen remains IN
a coagulatec state in the mass Of the
flesh, but in sailing, the albumen Is sep
arated as ccagulum. It Is now easy to
understand that in sailing meat, where
this is pushed so far as to produce the
brine above mentioned, a number Of
substances were Withdrawn from the
flesh which are essential to its constituz
ton, and that it therefore loses in nu-
tritive qualities in proportion 70 this
abstraction.
The great error OF over-salting Is ene
of such often occurrence in this country
that it is seldom that home-cured meat
IS free from this evil In many in
stances, one-haf or two-thirtis Of the
salt used would be amply sufficient 70
preserve the meat, and that IS the de-
sign of salting in bulk. 0sersai1ed
meat is not only very unhealthy, but IS
not half so nutritieus as when properly
salted. ed.-Erchde1e

A curious affair has just been made
public near Silver Station, PennsyIva-
MIA. Ten years ago rich farmer named
Swingle, sixty years Of age. who had
married for his second wife 4 young
woman long resident IN his family,
went out one day to pay sI.s00 to
neighbor, mile or two away, and never
returned. 1t was found that lie
had paid the money and left for home
on his horse on dark, stormy evening.
A widow Noman living IN lonely
place on the road testified to hearing
cries Of murder. Blood and signs Of
struggle were discovered in the road
next morning. The whole neighbor-
hood was searched and SwingIe's horse
found tethered in the woods. A band
Of horse and cattle thieves VIII infested
the place were accused Of being the
Inurderers, and left the country. Eiaft-
cen months afterward a skeleton Was
found in pond BY a man who was
fishing. The bones were gathered and
buried as those Of Swingle. a couple
Of years afterward SwiBgle's son mar
ried the young widow Of SwingIe senior.
The couple were living pleasantly to
gether up to last month, with three
children, whsn note was received from
Cleveland, from the missing swinale. to
the effect that he was in lodging house.
sick with fever He was found and
brought home, the wife attending him
the son was almost crazy. Swingle Sc
nior, however, died without knowledge
Of what had occurred, and tie young
couple we're married over again. SWIM
Gle said that he had taken notion to
leave while on the road, had gone to
Australia, grown rich and then lost AL.

TEE FESTIVE FLEA.

The average woman hates flea with
an intensity almost diabolical in its ma
ture. She will persue one OF these lit
tie innocents with the remorselessness
of a fend, and if you ever expect to
see beautiful exemplifcation of wo-
manly trates never look for it when she
knows that flea is about. And pro
portion as woman hates flea seems
to love, and is never enjoying ecstatic
bliss unless favored with her society.
He likes to see her couch in the Silly
hours of the night, WOO her from slum
Der, and from sheltered nook witness
her feverlsh exertions to escape his ca
resses; but perhaps he does not reach
the acme of enjoyment until he can
slyly accompany her to church and not
make his presence known until she has
satisfactorily settled her furbelows and
ffounces on the cushioned seat, all ready
to be admired, and make a note of how
others look. And then the flea begins
his manipnlations, knowing full well
that he has his victim at disadvantage.
Here there can be no hssty finging of
skirts, no assuming of unbecoming pos
lures while making frantic grabs at the
mischievous and inaccessible monster.
If you note the woman closely you will
see compressing of the lips and look
of hate and pain creeping into the face
which she would fain conceal and not
reveal, for are not many eyes upon heri
One moment she settles herself a
little more frmsy on one side, as though
hoping to crush the aggressor, but the
next instant she feels him seampering.

We are having very nice weather up
here in this bunch-grass region, while
no doubt you are having lots Of mud
and slush; in fact we have had one Of
the incest and most open winters it has
ever been my lot to experience. Grass
is growing finely and ia full FIVE or six
inches high-that is, the large or coarse
bunch grass-the fine bunch grass, or
buffalo grass never gets so tall as that.
Stock of all kinds is doing well. There
have been some buyers in this section
recently, but holders, as = general thing,
are unwilling to take the price offered,
and are holding for farther advances.

DIRECTIONS FOR DIsINFECTING ROOMS.

Rooms which have been occupied by
a person suffering from infectious dis
ease should, on the termination of i'll
ness, be at once disinfected. To effect
this thoroughly, all crevices around
windows and doors and the fireplace
should be closed by pasting pieces of
paper over them. Lumps of sulphur
(brimstone), one pound for every thou
sand cubic feet of space, should then
be put into a metal dish, placed by
means of tongs over bucket of water.
This being set fire to, the doors should
be closed, and the room should be al
lowed to remain without interference
for three or four hours After this
time the windows should be thrown
open, and when the fumes have disap-
peared, all the woodwork and walls
should be thoroughly washed with soft
soap and water, to which carbolic acid
has been added Zone pint of the COM
mon liquid to three or four gallons of
water), and the paper from the wall
stripped off. In whitewashed rooms
the walls should be scraped, and then
washed with hot lime, to which carbolic
acid has been added. The windows
shoNld then be kept open for two or
three days.
