A Clever Crow.

| have had my Australian pip
ing crow for about two years. At
first he was quite uneducated, and
rather disrcputable looking par
ty, but, with good feed and exercise
his musical talent soon developed
itself. He began with the first part
of "The Bells" then he got off per-
fectly the trumpet call Of Cease
firing" "Charlie is my darling"
mix, my dollie," and he is dill
gently at work at "God bless the
Prince" and has the first part fair
ly well off He fetches and carries
like dog, and seems never tired Of
running after a ball of crumpled
paper, and bringing it back and
putting it in ones hand, and wait
ing for another throw. He will
tumble about on the floor, and play
more like monkey than a bird.
He will get into Il slipper with a
string tied to it, and allow himself
to be coached round and round the
room, holding on all the time to
the string, Some time ago we
were troubled with mice, but "Pe-
ter" soon brou ght them to q sense
of their situation. He ferretted
them out, chased them, killed
them, and, having duly washed
them in his water-tin, hung them
up to dry, picked them, and swal-
lowed them. 1t requires great per-
severance in training these birds.
They will eat almost anything.
Some days ago our bird swallowed a
piece of glass, and for two days and
nights was very i'll, moaning pitt
fully; but he at last brought it up
in the usual way hawks and owls
do. He is now quite recovered, and
in full song.-1he London Field.

The Two Men Inside.

An old Indian once asked white
man to give him some tobacco for
his pipe. The man gave him a
loose handful from his pocket.
The next day he came back and
asked for the white man. Cor"
said he, II found a quarter of dol
lar among the tobacco"
"Why don't you keep it ?" asked
a bystander.
GIVE got good man and bad
man here" said the Indian, point
ing to his breast; "and the good
man say, 1T is not mine; give it
back to the owner The bad man
say, Never mind, you got it, and it
is your own now The good man
say, No, no; you must not keep it,
So [ don't know what to do, and |
think to go to sleep, but the good
and bad men keep talking all night
and trouble me; and now L bring
the money back, [ feel good.'
Like the old Indian, we all have
good man and a bad man within.
The bad man is Temptation, the
good man is Conscience, and they
keep talking for and against many
things that we do every day.
Who wins? This is the question {;
and the answer decides a child's
character for this life and the life
to come. Who wins? Stand up
for duty. Down with sin! WrestIe
with temptation manfully. Never,
never give up the war till you win.

The Great Political Need.
BY HON. NEAL DOW.

| am anxious that temperance
men and women shall understand
that it is not possible the cause
shall continue in its present condl-
ton for an indefinite time. 1t must
advance or recede. 1t is main
tanned in its present position only
by incessant, exhaustive ana cost
ly work on the part Of It's active
friends.
l can see no way out of this con-
dition of the cause except oy con-
certed and general plan among tenn
perance men to put their convlc-
lions and resolutions into the bal
box, resolved to strike down any
party that assumes to protect the
liquor-trafic, "gigantic crime OF
crimes" In Maine, i'll the years
when we were agitating for prohi-
bition, we had in all our speeches
stereotyped phrase, what English
party men call "a cry" it was
thus: "Heaven helping us, we aciN
put the grog-shops down, and every
body (meaning politicians who
stands in our way"
The Democratic party at that
time was in overwhelming power
in Maine, but its leaders set them
selves resolutely in favor OF rum,
and the party went down like a
drowning man, and has never
shown anything at the surface
since, except bits Of broken wreck
in shape of Governor Wells and
Governor Garcelon, who were for a
year fshed up from the depths by
coalition that lasted but for a mo-
ment and then passed away.
The Republican party of Maine
at it's formation put prohibition
into it's platform as its most promi-
nent feature, and has retained it
there to this day. But now there
are evident signs that some Of the
party leaders are cautiously con-
spring to withdraw the party from
that position, in which case the
party will go down, as the Demo-
cratic party did thirty years ago.
In Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York, Pennsylva-
MIA, and some other States, the Re-
publican party has gone over to
the rum-rower and yet lives; but
in Maine it will not be so.
There was never in the history of
the Temperance movement a time
so suitable as this to carry to the
balIot-box directly the question Of
rum or no rum. There is now no
great question Of national policy up
before the people pressing for recog-
milton and decision.
1t is a most significant thing that
almost every Republican paper in
the country is now openly and bold
ly on the side Of the liquor interest,
doing their best by classifying or
concealing the truth, or by misrep-
resenting and misstating facts, to
mislead the public as to the rela-
ton of the liquor-traffic to the gen.
eral good, and especially as to the
actual results of prohibition in To-
calities where it has been adopted.

If whisky has ever organized an
institution, whose aim was the up
holding of Christ's kingdom, or has
ever reformed a drunkard, or saved
a lost or ruined soul, [ have failed
to see it. Does it add converts to
the church or converts to the pen
itenitiary? Does it add philoso-
pliers and states to our nation; or
does bit add subjects to our asylums
and paupers to the work-house ?
Does it educate the mind; or does
it dethrone reason? Does it create
love, peace and happiness or strife,
quarreling and misery ?-Meteor.

Temperance Publications.

We are constantly impressed
with the great importance Of circu-
ting temperance literature among
the people.
Notwithstanding the vast amount
of matter that has been published
and sent forth, there is yet great
ignorance among the masses in re-
gard to the temperance question, In
its various aspects.
The religious and secular press,
much as it may do, can not be re-
lied upon to furnish all the people
need.
1t is a hopeful indication that
temperance publication houses are
multiplying. The National Tenn
perance Publication House, 758
Reade St., N. Y. City, publish large
ly on all plans of the question, and
we commend them to the patron
age of all. We know by experience
that all will receive their moneys
worth, and more too, and be glad of
the slight expenditure.
David C. Cook has recently open
ed, at 14S Madison St., Chicago, a
Revolution Temperance House, and
we are amazed at the amount he
offers for little money. He fur
nishes excellent and unique mate
rial for educating the children. 1t
is a grand work. We advise all to
send for samples and buy what they
can afford. A little money expen-
ded in this way will hardly be
missed. and will do you and others
much good.-Prohibitionist, Lewiston,
Name.

Saving Seed Corn.

The following points in the selec-
ton of seed corn are from Mr.. l.. ID.
Shook, Yates County, n. Y, as we
clip from the Enan1i1,e, and Chronl-
Gle.
We are sure our farmers will do
we'll to consider the suggestions
here made. Carelessness in the
matter of selecting seeds, costs far
mers, annually, more than enough
to pay all their taxes. Mr.. Shook
says:
Husking-time is the proper pc
riod to secure q good supply Of ripe,
sound corn for planting next
spring; and the selection should
not be left to the judgment of boys,
but if possible to men of expert
ence.
Several points should be clearly
observed in selecting seed ears.
First. Be careful to notice that
the kernel is full ripe, hard and
glossy.
Second. See that the ear is fully
developed-that is, that the rows
of kernels are in a straight line, land
not set irregularly on the cob, as is
often the case. Also note that the
ear is covered with corn to the very
end
Third. Take particular notice
that the ear is from a stock that
produced at least two sound ears
If three are found on the stock, all
the better.
Fourth. 1t will be found desirable
to have the part between the ear
and husk quite small, that the ear
may be the more readily disengag-
ed at husking-time.
Fifth. If the quantity desired is
small, then leave all the husks on,
simply removing the silken portion
at the end. Tie two or four of the
outer husks together, and hang up
near the roof in the barn or other
out-building, out Of the reach of
mice, and in a perfectly dry place
Notice also the remaining ears on
the stock to see if they are fully de-
veloped and of good quality. Should
they be found inferior, it is best to
reject all on that stock, for the
chances are that the seed of the
sound ear will transmit the defects
of the deformed one.
By using judgment in the selec-
ton of seed-corn, many farmers i'm
prove their crop year by year, while
others who practice the easy chit
or miss" method find their corn
crop rapidly deteriorating.
In Western New York, and many
other sections, owing to the unfa-
vorable spring and extended drouth
of summer, the corn crop is nearly
a failure. Many fields will ripen-
but little that should be saved for
seed Hence if a neighbor has good
sound corn, one who has not, would
better spend a day husking for
him, and select seed for next years
planting.

The condition of affairs in our
northwestern promontory, called
Alaska, is even more anomalous
than is generally supposed. One
Government war vessel furnishes
and enforces all the law the inhab-
itants have, and that is precious
little. A merchant cannot collect
a debt, and a man may commit
theft with IMMUNITY, A murderer,
if he does the deed in any other way
than by poisoning or drowning,
goes scott free, even without going
to the trouble Of pleading insanity
He can shoot his man down in cold
blood without fear Of legal punish
ment. Congress should as soon as
possible give Alaska away, if any
nation can be found green enough
to be thus imposed upon, or give
the lawless country some kind Of
q government.

CLOVER AND DROUGHT.

With the experience of the pres
sent season I am disposed to value
red clover more highly than ever
before as Notwithstanding plant.
Its intrusion into our meadows this
year proved a blessing, especially to
those, who, like myself, believe in
early haying. l cut my grass early
in July, and the clover, springing
up Immediately, soon grew a foot
high and blossomed. | then turned
in my COWS and kept up flow of
milk which, without the drought
proof clover, would have been i'm
possible, except by daily feeding
with green corn or other milk-pro-
ducing equivalent.
