A wholesome Harvest Drink


article ON the above subject the German
town Telegram has the following: CAS- alco-
holic drinks have happily long been driven
from Tie harvest fields, there have been
various drinks besides water substituted, but
scarcely any of them meeting fully the con-
ditions sought for in the way of whole
some, satisfying beverage. Water even in
all its purity, does not seem to quench the
thirst and stimulate the body, as it produces
additional perspiration and passes through
the pores almost like passing through a
colander, leaving the system exhausted and
weak; besides, drink of cold water, when
suffering under a great degree of heat, is
dangerous,-even at times producing sud-
den death. Latterly in England and else
where drink is prepared by mixing oat-
meal with water, in the proportion of three
or four ounces to a gallon of water This
is found not only 10 satisfy the thirst better
than water, or moasses and water, even
when tempered with vinegar or other acid,
but 10 produce additional strength of body
Oatmeal possesses peculiar aroma and
acts as a stmuant TO the surface of the skin
as TO cause the complete digestion of the
liquid Men employed in an atmosphere OF
the intcnsest heat are much comiorted with
it, and become very fond oft. Hence it Is
in a measure "yictuaIs and drink possess
ing only virtues and without any drawbacks
whatever"

short and death certain All the affections
of life, lifes passions and ambitions pale be-
fore the grim monster death, and how few
there are prepared to meet it. There are
many who pass through the world sup
posedly rich or at least in easy circumstances
who, after paying the debt Of nature leave
as bequest to their families abject poverty
and want. Wise men and women, knowing
the uncertainty of life make provision for
this emergency and DOB cheaply by secur-
ing certificate Of life insurance. There
are to-day, thousands of families who owe
ALI. their present comforts to the foresight
and affection of a parent or relative, and
there are no doubt many instances within
the recollection of the readers Of the SENTI-
MEL where such is the case. The Southern
Pennsylvania Mutual Relief Association, of
Hanover, Pa, offers rare inducements to
those intending to insure their lives E. E.
Stonestreet, NJ. d., is medical examiner, and
j. p. Miller, agent for this section of the
State. This Association is very rapidly in
creasing in membership. Its officers are in
daily receipt of applications for from fifty
to one hundred thousand taken in almost
every State in the Union. Since their or
ganization they have written certificates to
the amount of three millions (3,oOO,0OO) and
as yet no deaths. This shows that the Off
GERS and agents exercise the greatest care in
selecting risks, for the interest Of its mem

Wheat is ripening very fast; some of our

Mrs. Nancy Mott who was paralyzed a

eighty-four years.
The editorial correspondence in the last
two numbers of the SENTINEL was read with

The fair and festival was quite success.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather
there was quite nice crowd collected, and
all seemed to enjoy themselves. The tables
were really credit to those who had charge
of them; they were well supplied and very
prettily decorated with evergreens. On the
fancy table was seen many pretty and use

The ice cream, made by Mr.. Ward. the great

To Correspondents.-So much has been

To correspondents much has been
written and almost sung to the public about
giving their real names with their contribu-
tons that we thought it useless to remind
them Of it any more, but in this we were
mistaken. One after another, letters or COM
munications follow each other rapidly, some
are good, many Indifferent and others bad
in their composition and are consigned to
the waste-basket for the very reason that the
authors name does not accompany his pro-
duction. Others sign their initials or for all
we know some ones else. Here is sample
of one lately received:
"MR. FIELDs-Yeu will please be kind
enough to correct and publish this death and
by so doing you will oblige areader of your
paper"
That, aside from the death notice, was ALL
Now, if that announcement had been a base
fabrication, written up by some malicious
individual, it would have placed us in a
very awkward position before the public,
exposed us to a criminal prosecution and
probably have sorely grieved some of our
most valued friends Again we say, sign
your nom de plume to your productions and
your real name on separate piece of paper
if you desire to see your article in print. Of
course this does not apply to our regular
known correspondents.

The Difference.-Th enumeraters at
work in this county taking the census meet
with considerable vexation and difficulty
through the objectionable ignorance of
some of the people, and invariably from
those who do not take and read their county
papers. The ignorant one falling to dis
cover the difference between census emu
merator and tax assessor, refuse to answer
many important questions and quakes terri
bly, in his boots at the mere ghost of raise
in taxation. On the other hand the intelli-
gent farmer, mechanic, artizan or profess
sional man at once interests himself in the
matter and gives the officer cheerfully every
item of interest and promptly answers every
question. Little time is wasted with the latter,
but with the former an hour or so of valu-
able time is lost in trying to explain the me-
cessity of truthful answers to all needed
questions, and almost invariably the man
or woman succeeds in convincing the emu
merator that their education has been sadly
neglected, or that they were too bull-headed
to learn. 1t is intended to make the census
of 1880 the most complete of any ever taken
in this country; hence it depends greatly
upon the people to assist the enumeraters,
greet them with smiles Of encouragement
and not with clubs and breomsticks. The
law regarding giving information to the
enumeration says:
"That each and every person mere than
twenty years of age, belonging to any family
residing in any enumeration district, and in
fase of the absence of the heads and other
members of any such family, then any agent
Of such family shall be, and each of them
hereby is required, if thereto requested by
the superintendent, supervisor or enumera-
tor, to render true account, to the best of
his or her knowledge, of every person be-
longing to such family, in the various par
ticulars required by law, and whoever shall
willfully fail or refuse shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding
800"

Temperance and sunday schools


About the first organized temperance So
ciety formed in Montgomery county was in
stituted August the 31st, 1888, at Middle
brook, by Rev. Thos. G. Allen who labored
at Rockville and St. Bartholomew charges
at that time. Through the politeness of
John t. DeSellum, Esq, then secretary of
the organization, we have the following:
Article 4th, of the Mddlebrook Temper
ance Society, organized August 31st, 1888.
We, the subscribers, recognizing the prin-
ciple of total abstinence as the only safety
for the temperate and the only hope for the in
temperate, do solemnly agree to abstain from
the use of ardent spirits, and not to furnish
them to our friends or those in our employ,
except when rendered necessary as medi-
cinr, and to endeavor to promote the like
abstinence on the part of our families and
Others to whom our influence extends.
ASA CLAGETT, President
THos. ENGLISH, Vice. President
JOHN It. DESELLUM, Secretary.
About the time above society was formed
and prior to the introduction of the old
Washingtonian style, Rev. Allen organized
a temperance society at Bartholomew. He
had established Sabbath School at that
place in October 1897. Quite a number of
our old citizens in the districts named will
still remember this worthy man and his
jealous work in the Sabbath School and
temperance causes.

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION.

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION.
Christmas has come and gone, but delightful
remembrance will long liuger in the minds of
the young and old who were fortunate enough
to obtain standing room in the NJ. E. Church ut
Darlington, on the eve of the oath, to see and
hear the interesting Christmas celebration
The church was beautifully decorated A
large platform was erected and adorned with
Chinese lanterns. Our musical young friend,
Joseph Andrews, presided at the organ. The
music was fine, and solos and choruses, with
other music, were rendered charmingly by the
young ladies and gentlemen of the Darlington
choir. The reading of Mrs. Cooley gave univer-
sal satisfaction. A brief epitome of the life of
st. Paul, by Prot. Potts and thirteen members of
first Bible class, was very instructive. Short
and pleasing addresses were made by mum Der
of the smaller childen. Then followed "Feed
my Lambs" by eleven little children, each
holding large gilt letter. The "Christian
Soldier" in bright armor, with accompanying
music, was most beautiful. But the piece Of tie
elening was the "Monument of Truth" sur
mounted by beautiful white dove In the
erection of this eight young ladies, represent
ing the Christian virtues, after reading suitable
passages from the Holy Scriptures, each placed
graduated block, until height of Z or s feet
being attained, it was surmounted by the dove.
1t was both instructive and beautiful. Candies
and fruit were then distributed TO the school,
The gifts of Mrs. ID. Z. Thomas to her class and
Others were beautiful and costly; nor did she
forget in her bounty each member Of her pastors
family. From the same source, earlier in the
evening, came many good things to the parson-
age, making glad the hearts of It's inmates. Too
much praise cannot be given to those who
originated and carried out this celebration with
so much taste and success. Thanks, many
thanks, Christian workers, for the pleasure, the
tokens of love, and the lasting benefactons be.
slowed upon an aprreciative public. May you
live to enjoy many returns of such happy occa-
sions. SPECTATOR.

1SSO-1SSl.

The close of the year always marks stop
ping place in life's Journey, where we can
halt for moment to take account of our
lives for the past year, and in the light of ex-
perience shape our course for the future
The fast fading year may have been full of
disappointments and cares, yet parting with
it seems like irretrieyably parting with por-
ton of our very life, for it is truth that we
dislike to close Time" and shudder to grow
old. But in every heart new hopes and as
pirations are constantly springing up and
these inspire us to look forward to the new
year with the expectation that it may prove
more kind to us than the old, and that we
may see in it the realization ofsome of our
cherished plans and purposes.
There will be merry and sad doings for
our readers the coming year, and we sincere
ly wish VIC could shape events to your lik-
ing. But that we cannot do We can only
chronicle what is past mending. Sometimes,
perhaps, wemay by timely hint somewhat
fashion and color the coming event, and we
shall endeavor to do so, where it can minis
ter to your profit or pleasure. If we fail in
this it will be from the poverty of events or
the paralysis ofgenius; for church and State,
politics and story, mirth and mourning,
prose, poetry and song shall all be contribu-
tors to our columns. There shall be no lack
of zeal in our recording pen. So let the
world turn-as it will-we can at least wish
our readers Happy and Prosperous New
Year.
