1t is the general belief that the re-

can be kept up during the next ter

States will in 1890 have reached 65,-
100000, which is as much as the popu-
lation of France and. Italy combined
But Our increase in wealth and pro1uc-

SOLOMON THE PREACHER.

Solomon was great experimenter on
human life. He tried all ways of it.
He tried what wealth, what wisdom,
what mirth and music, building of
houses, planting of vineyards, making
of orchards and gardens, could do to
make man happy and to keep him so.
And he conducted each experiment of
this kind upon the largest scale, and
carried it to its furthest issue. HIS
position gave him full command of all
the means and instruments of human
enjoyment. and he exercised that COM
mand without Limitation or restraint.
Whatsoever his eyes desired he kept it
not from them he withheld not his
heart from any kind of joy. We are
not to immagine that he did all that at
the prompting of any higher motive, or
for any religious end. He did it as
multitudes in lesser spheres and to a
more limited extent are doing ito
crafty the devices and desires of his
OWL heart. But he was, all the while,
though unconsciously, fulfilling high
and benevolent purpose of the Supreme,
and when afterwards he was brought to
the love and service of God, he was di.
rected to put on record, for the guidance
and warning of all after generations, q
history of his earlier experience. 1t il
in this light, regarding them as writer
for this purpose, that the opening chap
tiers of the Book of Ecclesiastes are t.
be read by every biblical student.-Dr
Hanna.

RELIGION IN THE BRITISH ARMY
Interesting statistics hsve been prepared
to sow the representation of the various
denominations in the Army of Great
Britain. They bring out the fact that
100000 men have declared themselves
as belonging to one or another of the
various sects. Something over &c per
cent of them declare for the Church of
England, % per cent are Roman Cath
olics, z per cent are Presbyterians, and
only per cent belong to the great Non
conforming and other Protestant bodies.
Of those IN receipt of good conduct pay,
fully 70 per cent belong to the Church
of England, Is per cent are Roman
Catholics, per cent are Presbyterians,
and per cent are other Protestants.
AS regards education. the Church of
England non-commissioned officers and
men head the list; 20 per cent of them
hold school certificates, while the Pres
byterian proportion is 8 per cent, and
that of the other Portestants only per
cent. The Roman Catholics, it is
shown, fail to maintain their proportion
in the matter of education, their per.
centage of men with school certificates
|, being only fraction over IL per cent
The declared Wesleyans" are about 4

The Book OF RUTH.-The position
which this book occupies in the canon of
the Old Testament brings it before US as
refreshing contrast to the dark picture
of crime and cruelty which shocks and
saddens US in the latter chapter of the
Book of Judges. We are reminded
that each village and each household
has history of its own, which, though
affected by the drift and current of
events that have national Importance,
is yet also in part independent of these
events, and may present very different
characteristics. While lust and ferocity
were doing their work for evil, there
was this episode Of real life, which, if
it had belonged to the literature of fc-
ton, would have taken a high place, in
the vividness of its pictures and the
tenderness of its pathos, as an idyllic
romance, bringing wildly before our
eyes the simple sorrows, the quaint forms
of legal procedure, the devout customs
of the tillers of the soil, in a region
which had passed beyond the wild
ness of nomadic life, and had not tainted
with the vices of the life of cities.-Dr.

PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL
SON.

Never certainly in human language
was so much-such word of love and
wisdom and tenderness-compressed
into such few immortal words. Every
line, every touch of the picture is full
of beautiful eternal significance. The
poor boys presumptuous claim for all
that life could give him-the leaving of
the old home-the journey to far coun-
try-the brief spasm of enjoyment
there-the mighty famine in that land
the premature exhaustion of all that
could make life noble and endurable-
the abysmal degradation and unutterable
misery that followed-the comming to
himself and recollection of all that he
had left behind-the return in heart
broken penitence and deep humanity
the fathers far-off sight of him, and
the gush of compassion and tenderness
over this poor returning prodlgal-the
ringing Joy of the whole household over
him who had been loved and lost, and
had now come home the unjust jeal-
ously and mean compliant of the elder
brother, and thensthat close of the para
BILE in strain of music-'Son, thou art
ever with me, and all that 1 have is
thine. 1t was meet that we should
make merry, and be glad: for this thy
brother was dead, and is alive again
he was lost, and is found'-all this is
indeed divine epitome of the wander
ing of man and the love of God such as

Habits of idleness are engendered.
The victim of drink would rather spend
his time at the tavern, over the bottle,
while at home his fare is poor, and his
family is almost starving, than to exert
himself for better fare and home COM
forts. So all his possessions are dissl-
pated at an early day, and long before
old age comes he finds himself in the
poorhouse. Add to these the victims of
hereditary evils, the result of intemper-
ance,and we have long list of blind,
deaf and dumb, insane, idiots and i'm
beetles, who are supported at the public
expense. Danish from this nation the
traffic in intoxicating liquors, and the
poorhouses of eight counties out of ten
might be closed. Indeed, / doubt
whether any poorbouses would be
needed. Our country has vast unoccu-
pied lands and boundless resources, and
industry and thrift are all that are
needed to furnish competence to all Of
our people. The only thing that really
stands in the way Is the traffic in alec.
holic liquors.-Selected.

BURNED BONES FOR HENs.-You ca

BURNED BONES FOR HENs.-You can
hardly give too much burned bones to
your hens to provide the necessary
amount of lime for egg-shells, aud the
next best thing for that purpose is oyster
shells, which can be obtained by the
barrel (and generally without cost except
taking away at hotels or restaurants in
your nearest town. My new tenant goes
eighteen miles for them, and considers
them cheap at that. The hens eat them
when pounded into fragments as easily
as they pick up the shelled corn. and
they furnish the needed material for the
egg-shell more completely than anything
else. do not quite believe in giving
broken earthen-ware as some propose
doing. The sharp corners are more
likely to cut or otherwise injure the crop
than the more easily digested oyster
shells.-POuLtry Yard.

LIQUOR PROSECUTIONS.


The Middlebury Register has a few
timely and truthful words to say on the
subject of liquor prosecutions as follows;
1t has always been the regular thing"
to appeal on conviction for the reason
that almost uniformity the cases never
come up in the county court, or if they
do. some means is always found of end
ing them without a trial. As conse-
quence the liquor sellers care very little
about a prosecution, only as the legal
costs take q small percentage of their
profits. No trouble is ever found in
obtaining the necessary bail, as signers
have learned that no risk whatever is
incurred. If a case is peculiarly clear
and fragrant, the victim usually avoids a
trial in the county court by getting the
witnesses to go off where they cannot be
found, or else by pretending to give up,
or to be about to, give up, his business,
whereupon he is let off.
This is perhaps the worst difficulty
in the warfare against Illicit liquor SELL
ing. There is little encouragement to
perseverance in efforts to vindicate the
law, when they all lead to the one uni
form result of letting the criminal escape
punishment.
And yet there would seem to be little
need of such expensive and dishearten.
ing failures. The responsibility for
them rests wholly with legal officers,
whose duty it is to follow up the prose-
cutions. A states attorney not dis
qualified by too much good nature or by
ineficiency could in the large majority
of cases obtain final conviction. A few
convictions in the county court, and a
consequent insertion into the skulls Of
the rumsellers of the idea that an appeal
will only result in increased costs, with
out lettering their chances of escape
from the consequences of their crime
will do more to strengthen the hands O
earnest temperance men and stop thu
illegal traffic that anything else would
do.

Mrs. Hayes is making fight for tenn
perance principles in the White House.
A short time before the recent grand
reception given to the diplomatic corps,
the President and his wife were told
that foreign ambassadors would turn a
cold shoulder upon their receptions if
wine was not furnished. They were
told that the action of the Presidents
wife would be constructed as an insult
to the foreign ambassadors they were
told Washington society, gathered from
all parts of the Union, never would
submit to the carrying out of this ia
natical Ohio idea. The strong, devout
woman sitting at the side of the chief
magistrate of the United States kept on
her course, said to the Secretary of
State: GAS far as you have power. you
do as you please; as far as l have
power there shall not be any temptation
put before any guest of mine even by
the use of wine"
