SOME of the more intelligent Kansas peo-
pie and journals are beginning to kick
against the prohibition laws and are taking
the correct views of the subject. They are
temperance people, too, or claim to be and
yet they admit men cannot be driven into
abstemiousness and morality. The Topeka
Journal has lately spoken out on the sub
ject of offering rewards for the conviction OF
offenders against the prohibition statutes.
1t says: ave need a great moral awaken
ing on this subject; public sentiment can
not be forced-the effort only repcls. 1t
must be educated to higher standard on
this subject. A law without public sent

She Took Him at His Word.

Wriggles had some teeth pulled
lately, and took cold in his Jaw,
which swelled until it looked like a
prize watermelon. He poulticed it
and bandaged ii, all to no purpose
and walked the floor several nights
with it quoting choice extracts from
Bob Ingersoll's lectures, but all to
no purpose it kept on swelling.
The other morning he remarked to
his wife that he would give $50
dollars to any one that would hit
him a tremendous thump on it sud-
denly without his expecting it, to
see ifit wouldn't burst the swelling.

jaw up and pointed to the apex of
protuberance. Taking a step back
the dear woman raised the bootjack
on high and hit him a regular bung-
starter right in the center of his ca
lamity, and smilingly stepped back
to await results. The old mans
knees flew to his chin as he shut up
like a patent rat trap, and with a
hollow groan he rolled off the chair
on to the floor, but he was up in a
moment, and as he danced the can
can, with original variations, his
wife smilingly asked did it relieve

howl out an answer old Mrs. Pry,
who had just dropped in, beat a
hasty retreat. And now the whole

Effect of Food Upon aIiIk

Every dairyman has learned by
experience that when food falls off
in quantity or quality, the quantity
and quality Of the milk keeps pace
with it. But they do not sufficient
ly consider, perhaps, the fact that
the character of the grass has much
to do with the quality of the milk
and the cheese or butter made from
it. The following remarks, taken
from the Country Gentleman. bear in
teresting relation to this subject:
THE observation Of Dumas. Paw
en-, and Boussingault have shown
that COW gives healthy milk in
proportion to the surplus of food
beyond what is necessary for her
own maintenance. If the animal Is
kept on food barely sufficient for
proper nourishment, the milk pro-
duced must be at q loss of animal
tissue, with general deterioration of
rthe milk and also of the COW. Milk
formed at the expense of the nutri-
ents and tissues of the body has less
caseine, butter, sugar and salts, while
the albumen will be increased. 1t
follows that the value of the milk
must depend upon the excess of
food beyond what is required by
nature to keep up the normal vigor
of the body. Decaisne demonstrate
ed by experiments during the siege
of Paris, in 1871, in fortv-three cases
of nursing women, that insufficient
or non-nutritious food produces a
diminution in the normal quality OF
the milk: also a variation of its
chemical constituents, such as an
increase of albumen and diminution
of caseine, butter and sugar. The
proportion of albumen in such cases
is generally in inverse ratio to that
of casine. Such milk rapidly de-
composes, and this will explain WHY
in hot weather, if mingled with good
milk, it would induce ferments and
cause serious trouble to the cheese
maker.
"That the quality of grasses is
greatly influenced by soil and situa-
ton, has been generally observed by
farmers who have been in the prac.
tice of fattening stock for the sham
bles. Upon certain pastures cattle
fatten rapidly and without trouble,
while on other lands they do not
readily take on flesh, though the
growth of grass seems abundant and
of varieties accounted nutritious.
1t is not 8, rprising that cheese ma
kers often have trouble in handling
milk when going from one locality
to another, for in addition to the
more common causes of bad milk,
such as uncleanliness in milking,
I bad water, abuse of cows by beating
and overdriving, there is still an
other affecting milk-that of soil or
the food which it produces. Gener-
ally on high and dry pastures OF
gravelly loan the milk will be more
readily converted into cheese than
when the milk is produced on low,
wet grounds. The treatment OF
milk and curds, therefore, must be
varied to meet the different charac-
ters of soils, for that manipulation
which would make good cheese in
one locality might make bad cheese

Boys.

Get hold Of the boys heart. Yon-
der locomotive with its laundering
train comes like whirlwind down
the track and regiment of armed
men might seek to arrest it In vain.
1t would crush them and pass un-
needed on. But there is lever in
its mechanism that, at the pressure
of mans hand, will slaken its
speed, and in a moment or two
bring it painting and still, Ike u
whipped spaniel, at your feet. BY
the same little lever the steamship
is guided upon the sea, in spite of
adverse wind and current. That
sensitive and responsive spot by
which boys life is controlled is
his heart; With your grasp gentle
and firm on that helm, you may pi-
lot him where you will. Never
doubt that he has o heart. Bad
and willful boys very often have the
tenderest heart hidden away some
where beneath incrustations of sin,
or behind barricades of pride. And
it is your business to get at that
heart, keep hold of it by sympathy,
confding in him, manifestly work
ing only for his good, by little indi-
rect kindness to his mother or sis
ter, or even to his pet dog. See
him at his home or invite him to
yours. Provide him some little
pleasure, set him to some little ser
vice of trust for you love him
love him practically.

Forms of Lightning.

A flash of lightning is a very large
spark of electricity-just the same
thing that one sees given by an cleo
trio machine in lecture on Natural
Philosophy, the only difference be-
ing that the best machine viii not
give spark more than 4 yard long,
while some flashes oflightning have
been estimated to be several miles
in length. According to their ap-
pearance, various names have been
given to these sparks in the sky,
though in reality all the several
kinds are one and the same thing.
On warm summer evening one
often sees clouds on the horizon lit
up with brilliant glows of lightning,
unaccompanied by any sound of
thunder. To this appearance the
name of cheat lightning" has been
given, and the warm weather is of
ten assigned as its cause. In point
of fact, the heat lightning is only
that of a thunder-shower so far off
that, while the observer can see the
flash. no sound of thunder reaches
him, and the intervening clouds veil
and reflect the flash until il becomes
a glow, instead Of the sharp streak
usually seen.
Where the flash, starting from
one point. branches out and divides
into several parts, it has received the
name of 'forked lightning" This
is usually seen when the discharge
is near the observer. Single flashes
bearing zig-zag or crinkled aspect
are denominated "chain-lightning," "
probably from their resemblance to
a chain thrown loosely on the
ground. Again, when .several dis
charges occur from about the same
place at the same time, and are
screened by rain or clouds so as to
light up the heavens with a broad
bright glow, the title of sheet light
ming is applied.
These four comprise all the COM
mon forms. There is, however, one
rare manifestation, called "ball-
lightning" In this phenomenon q
small globe or ball OF apparent fire
rolls slowly along the ground, and
after q time suddenly explodes, scat
tering destruction around. There
are few instances of this on record,
no very satisfactory explanation has
ever accounted for this curious ap-
pearance.

Invalids Deluded.

A mournful illustration Of the
cruel wrong which is done by spread
ing broadcast the delusion that per-
sons in the last stages of consump-
ton can be cured by change of
climate, is furnished by this years
experience in the Adirondacks. The
number of victims this season to an
exaggerated belief in the curative
properties of the Adirondack region
has been unprecedented. Sixteen
persons during the present month
have died in the woods or en- route,
and their bodies have been carried
back through Plattsburg. All these
died in want of the comforts and
consultations which would have sur
rounded them at home, and in many
instances, no doubt, death was has
tened by fatigue, deprivation and
homesickness. And still the mourn
full procession to the woods goes on
and still people are found, we'll
meaning or otherwise, who are will
ing to take the responsibility ol
stimulating false hope.-N T. TIL
