Kennebec County Good rempl.r..

.~~SSS SOuAty 0OOO 1emplafDs
A very pleasant convention of the Good
Iemplar lodges of Kennebec county met in
Waterville on Wednesday last. Their hall
on Temple street was well filled. and the time
passed swiftly amid the details of business:
while flashes of wit, earnest speeches, music
and reading lent their charm to the golden
hours.
The lodges of kennebec appear in a healthy,
growing condition, and the prospect for their
work the coming year is encouraging. BIC.
Jersey. e. w. c. t., and Mrs. E. H. Mason.
u. w. V. T., were present in the interests of
the order; also Mrs. Barstow, superintendent
of Juvenile Temples in the State-who to our
regret was obliged to leave early in the after
noon.
His many friends and co-laborers in
temperance work were panied to hear of the
decease of Hon. James Nash of Gardiner. the
afternoon previous. genial man, whom
all loved. an earnest, firm advocate of total
abstinence from all intoxicants, he defied the
long years that changed his hair to a crown
of silver, to check his life work. Like a
true soldier he fell W it'll his armor on at the
post of duty. In his death Oakland Lodge
sustains great loss.
BY reason of some Misunderstanding it was
found that the hall had been leased for the
evening to Mr.. Torrens. So through the
kindness of that society the evening meeting
vas held in the Congregational vestry. 1t
was addressed by Mr.. Jersey in his usual
wide awake manner closely holding the at
tention of his audience, who also testified
their hearty appreciation Of the truly fine read
ing of Mrs. Mason. We are always glad to
hear that veteran, Joshua Nye. and hope that
he may live to visit ''the boys and girls of
yore" in Waterville many times more. Rev.
MIR. Foster of Wayne made the opening
prayer, and afterwards addressed the meeting
in short speech that had the true ring to it !;
and we could only regret that larger audience
was not present to enjoy all the good things
which we have not time to mention. The
fine music
"Wreathed like flowers in and out amid the whole"
The following resolutions were adopted
WHEREAS, We consider the temperance work in
th- state depends in great upon the order
of Good Templars and believing this to be the
great issue of TO day. therefore be II
Resolved. That we will both work and pray and
cast our vote on the temperance side.
Resolred, That inasmuch rs cider and small beer
have been and still the chief of the ruin of
many of young men. therefore II is the of
this convention to work for the prohibition of the

Resolred, That extend our sincere thanks to
the members of Waterville Lodge for their kind
for their courtesy in reduction of fare. SEC.

We are pleased to note that the
Oregonian says it is ''an insane no.
tion that Portland does not want
the Columbia bar improved" and
thatit is an insane notion "that the
Oregonian opposes it," It IS q
surprise to many who have read the
editorials in the Oregonian that i,
could recognize the existence ol
any place or project that could not
be disposed of with a sneer. The
hardest kind of ignorance with
which we ever had to deal, is that
peculiar phase Of assumptive ig-
norance which includes itself. Ii
that paper would help us in the
work Of having the mouth of the
Columbia what it should he, it
would better display the attributes
of the greatness it claims, than by
silly captious snarlings against
those that do not recognize its as
sumed superiority of brains OF
understanding.

THE following is an example of
the Stiffness and attempted injus-
tice that the editor of the Polaris
perpetrates upon an intelligent
circle Of mistaken patrons: "Do
not the American people gener-
ally understand that Roman Cath
olic military companies are al
ready organized all over the land?
Is it not a fact that such an organ
ization is now drilling in this city
Think of Methodist, or Presby-
terian, or Baptist military organ,
ization in every city in America!
Is it not true that new secret or
ganizations are forming within the
papal church? Do Our citizens
not know that every great city in
America is literally honey-combed
with secret vaults. passage-ways
and chambers often extending un-
der-ground from one street to an.
other, within which no hereto cau
ever enterp II Americans do not
already understand this they will
understand it at no distant day
The editor OF the Polaris has lived
TO very little purpose in this world
if he has not learned that false
hood, malice and injustice always
hurt the cause they aim to help,
There is something in it, but the
man that wrote it does not know
how little.

ONE of the most inconsistent
things we have lately noticed is
the argument of the Standard that
the House of Representatives
should be contracted instead OF
expanded in numbers. The idea
of having few representatives is
essentially Republican dogma;
if the Democracy has any doctrines
at all, among them must appear
the idea of large representation;
and to be consistent, if the Stan
dard advocates Democracy it should
advocate a large increase of the
number of men sent to represent
the nations millions at the national
capital.

The Horse Stall,

The soundness and suppleness of the
harness horse depends very largely upon
his stall treatment and accommodations.
Casual thought would conclude that the
abuse of the horse consists in over work,
undue exposure and insufficient food.
But equally destructive with either n
of these agencies is his stall ~mismanage-
ment.
Prominent among these abuses is the
excessive inclination of the stall. In
order to have rapid drainage, the grade
of the stall is made so steep. that fire.
quently the horse is made very tired, by
practically thus standing uphill, while
he should, under more favorable cirCum-
stances be resting. The weight of the
carcass is therefore thrown largely upon
the headquarters, and the result is some
times weakness, if not soreness over the
loins, and probably with equal frequency,
either wind gals, enlarged ieXors, swol-
len ankles, or incipient occult eurbs and
%spavins. This is Il very unnatural stand
ing position of the horse in a state of
freedom. Whether protecting himself
from the storm, OF standing still after
being satiated with grazing, he invari-
ably either chooses level ground or a po-
sition slightly descending, in which the
forehanded portion of the carcass is APP
probably lower than the hips. The
physiological reason of this position is
manifest upon careful examination. The
Office of the front feet and limbs while
in motion is largely to sustain the body,
to prevent it falling headlong, while the
hind limbs and feet propel it forward.
In a state of rest, therefore it follows
that the burden of the weight can be
more comfortably sustained by the iront
limbs and feet. When the body is
pitched at the reverse inclination by the
steep grade of the stall, the horse fire.
quently shifts the weight from n mind
limb to the other, in such Il manner as
to indicate his discomfort. If he must
stand in a narrow stall, it should be
made more nearly level, and the activity
of the groom aroused to keep it scrupu-
lousy clean.-Li0e Stock Journal.

Why Squash Vines Do Not Bear.

J. 7. j., asks why his squash vine has
no fruit set and the vine is ten feet long.
I can tell him. Two years ago my farm
was in the hands of a tenant for a few
months. He thought he would raise a
lot of Hubbard squashes and retire from
business with the proceeds. So he emp
tied the manure cellar upon two acres and
planted squash, and certainly tended
them well and had vines. He

because these plants are really climbers,
and the main shoot is naturally only the
supporter of the fI~uit-bearing branches
which are the laterals.
This, of course, would be known to any
person who considers knowingly the nas-
ture of the gourd- bearing plants. The
same year I was growing squash in my
garden, and, as my practice is, l pinoaed
the main vine when it n ct the vine from
