The late-set fruit that can not ripen
should be removed, thus giving all the
= nourishment to the earlier set-fruit.
Young cucumbers, for pickles,
should be picked each day-allowing
JSotfuit to go to seed, and thus ex-
haust the vines.
Early pears require greater care
than apples. Pick them as soon as
the seeds show them to be mature be.
fore they are mellow.
Tomato vines should be kept tied
to the frame provided for them, other.
wise keep the fruit from the ground
by placing straw or brush under
it.
A net that costs but a small sum
will keep off most of the flies, and pre-
vent one of the most serious annoy
ances to the working horse at this sea-
son of the year.
Keep the sweet potato plants clear
POI weeds and move the vines to pre-
went them from striking roots at the
joints, Squashes, on the other hand,
may take root as much as they will.
Onions are known to be ready to
harvest by majority of the tops
bending and falling over Pull and
leave the bulbs upon the ground for a
few days to cure, after which gather
and store in cool, airy place.
The root crops, mangels and beets,
and field cabbages, need frequent cul-
tivation during this month, and until
the leaves cover the ground. If weeds
are allowed to grow, and the soil is
left unstirred, the crop will be small.
With this month begins the fall
work, and the more promptly it is en-
tered upon the better. The stubbles
are now idle, and they can be plowWl
at once for the fall sowing, thus pre-
venting growth of weeds from ripen-
ing their seeds.
During the dry weather of this
month drains can be dug with greater
comfort and less expense than when
the soil is full of water. The value of
a drain depends upon the thorough
ness with which the work is done.
1t should be a permanent improve
ment.
Young trees, especially those plant
ed last spring, often suffer severely
from the dry weather of the summer,
and it is we'll to apply mulch of
straw, grass, chips, etc. Whatever
Twill cover the surface and prevent
Evaporation will answeras mulch.
/ Potatoes should be harvested so
ssoon as they are ripe, otherwise the
ltubers may start into a new growth.
} fFhey are much more apt to be affected
/ by the ''roei IF left long in the soil.
If this "disease," which is fungus
growth, makes its appearance, the
vines should all be burned so soon as
the potatoes are dug, as the pores are
thus destroyed in vast quantities
Where other work will permit, it is
best to plow the land for fall.sowing
soon after the haylng and harvesting
is over. This avoids the drouth
dried soil that is frequently found
later in the season, besides turning
under the weeds before they have time
to ripen their seeds. Thorough use
of the cultivator will prepare the
early -plowed land for seed when
sowing time comes.

Wine-Drinking and the Scrip
lures.

The National temperance Society
has just published, in pamphlet
from, a. very able, scholarly paper
with the above title, by Prof.
Tayler Lewis, LID, contributed to
the Aduamce of Chicago in 1874. 1t
is a very searching and conclusive
examination and refutation of the
argument against abstinence which
have been sought in the Bible.
Reproduced now in permanent
form, it is a most timely addition
to the literature of the scriptural
phase of the temperance question.
No one will venture to call in ques-
ton the eminent scholarly attain
ments and the high-minded Chris
ian character of Prof. Lewis. Ev-
cry clergyman and every Christian
in the land DESTROYS of the truth
on this subject should have a
copy of this most valuable pam
phlet. The pamphlet also contains
Prof. Lewis's admirable introduce
ton of the Temperance Bible Com
mentary" prepared by DR.. F, R.

Prohibition in Kansas.
Inclination over Untruthful Publica-
tons. M

Fort SCOTT, May At appears
that publication has been made
in the illinois Stats Zeitung, and
leading papers Of New York, with
reference to the prohibitory
amendment to the State Constitu-
ton Of Kansas. 1t is stated in said
publications that the law is driving
out large numbers of the inhabi-
tants of the State, depopulating it
of German citizens, and keeping a
large portion of emigration, princi-
pally German, from locating here.
This publication is being distribu-
ted by interested parties among en-
igrants at Castle Garden, andat va
rious railroad depots in Chicago,
and perhaps. other cities. Since
this intelligence reached here great
indignation thereat has been ex-
pressed by all classes of our citizens
and especially Germans, who de-
sire to announce that this publica-
ton was conceived in iniquity and
born in wickedness. The tide Of i'm
migration to Southeastern Kansas
is larger than ever before, and posi-
lively no one is leaving the State.
The people generally accept the law
as fact, and are working on to a
still greater prosperity, assisted as
they are by a splendid prospect for
the ensuing harvest. ....

Prohibition in North Carolina.

The great Prohibition movement
in North Carolina continues with
increasing force. At the late State
Convention every county In the
State was represented. Disting-
uished clergymen and prominent
politicians and public men of both
political parties and races We're
among the delegates and officers,
and mass meeting was densely
packed. A State Committee was
appointed to arrange for district
and county committees. A pop
ular vote on prohibition will be
taken the first Monday in August.
Miss Willard hopes to organize
many w. c. T. Unions as help in
this campaign. They have 5000
members to begin. She writes in a
private letter: 81 have had a most
encouraging trip. The Southern
people have received me with kind
ness, and have responded to the
call for members in our Unions bet
ter than any people | have ever
addressed" -SigndI

The New York Sun mentions
that the Commissioners of Charities
and Corrections of New York have
the care and control of "a popula-
ton of II GOO iunatics, drunkards,
Criminals, infants, blind, aged and
sick" that "They have charge this
year of the disbursement of $685.
1880 for the maintenance of these
unfortunate creatures. 1t is safe
to conclude, in the face of the past
reports of the commissioners them
selves, that at least three-fourths of
the II 900 are dependent upon the
public charity, either directly or
indirectly, through the agency of
strong drink, and that full three
quarters of a million of dollars for
this support which will be exacted
of the taxpayers Of this city,will be
paid because of the drink traffic.
And yet there are thousands who
want this business to go on. This
money is wholly wasted, except
the Immediate relief it affords. The
same money spent for schools makes
pupils self-supporting.-M inneapo-

The boys in Lamar, Kan, con-
Glued to play "Mazeppa," the Tartar
of the Ukraine breed to be an old
COW which was grazing in a neigh
boring lot. A local critic describes
the representation. The boys
coaxed the cow into the barn, barred
the door and drew lots for the
Mazeppa. The boy who drew the
short straw, why little fellow of
10 years, was tied securely upon the
cows back. The noble animal
seemed to take in the situation and
to realize that her reputation as an
actress was at stake. Her acting
was magnificent indeed, for she
brought down the house-by sec
tions. Although the audience all
had parquette and parquette circle
tickets they thought they could
look at the play better from the gal
lery, and so they slid up into the
haymow and tried to crawl out
through the roof while the old COW
was churning about fourteen years
growth out of Mazeppa and below
ing like a steam calliope, while
Mazeppa passed most of the time
yelling like a pig fast in the fence.
The performance might have been
going on to the present time only
the ownerof the barn under the i'm
preston that an earthquake was
confnedin that structure, rushed in
and rescued the amateur Mazeppa,
and permitted the COW to proceed to
her quiet cud-chewiEg after the ex-
citement of the occasion had passed
away.-The Alliance.

The fact that all over the country
the prohibition question is receiv-
ing more attention than ever before
is significant. Politicians, having
the issue thrust upon them, cannot
escape some kind of action regard
ing it. The great West is agitated
through all its length and breadth
upon this question. The entire
South is awaking to the knowledge
that the war with the drink curse
is we'll begun. The North is tax
ing heart and plunging with new
vigor into the combat. We are
gaining on the enemy. The beer
and whisky guzzlers are thoroughly
alarmed. Brewers are beginning
to feel that they are on the summit
of seething volcano that is likely
at any time to burst under their
feet. Let us have courage, friends.
We have fought long and hard, but
deliverance is nigh at hand. We
must accept no truce, no compro-
mise. Let us stop at nothing short
of the absolute prohibition of the
liquor traffic.-Sigros cfthe Times.

On last Friday evening the house was crowded
emily standing room being offered at eight O'CLOCK
TO see Uncle Toms Cabin. Why this old ant
trte play continues to draw such enormou
houses when better plays are given every wee'
to empty chairs is one of the dramatic mysteries
There are half dozen "Uncle TOMS In TN

al style.-On Saturday night Mcintyre u Heath
Ministries gave a very stupid show to High
house. They have degenerated since last year
vpd have become both weak and vulgar, not
outstanding they seem to give satisfaction II
some places and have entrance to many mrs
class houses. At Peru the party undertook tc
beat the Chambers House out OF their board bill
for Sunday, but the plucky landlord quietly TOOK
out an attachment for the baggage, and the man
ager settled up. He was so chagrined oyer his
defeat that he got drunk and made disgraceiul
exhibition OF himself on the stage.-Monday
night the "Original Big Four" gave very good
variety entertainment Some parts oil the enter
tainment, as the Big Four's dancing, the aero
bats, the performances on globe, the accordion
player were really remarkable. The farces were
eoarse-unnecessarily SO Mt tlmes.-On Weuhes'
day evening, Capt. Bells lecture drew SO small

tertsnment was very pleasing one. 1t speaks
we'll for the management Of the Association, and
promises FOR the future a decided advance for
music in Ottawa. AS Prof. Boltwood remarked
st the close, these rehearsas, public and private
will do more to advance the cause Of good music
in Ottawa than any number OF grand concerts.
Miss Nattinger, the chief soloist, was rewarded
with an encore, as was the last chorus. Miss
Eattinger has improved very much since we last
heard her, and sang with decided taste and skill.
We trust Ottawa will hear more concert singing
by her.
