A Hero.
n IICIUe
From the Sacramento Record Union.l


Whenever GOODNESS. presence of
mind, and intrepidity save human life,
they should have wide recognition. The
steamship Masdam was recently burned
at sea. She carried passengers and
crew numbering 1856 souls. For many
hours her whole interior was mass of
flame, and finally the decks upheaved
with an awful explosion. But not a
life was lost. Every man, woman, and
child was saved. This happy result was
wholly due to the splendid courage of
Capt. Van den Zee, young man of 30,
and but five months filing a command
er's position. By his GOODNESS, strong
appeals to reason, his unfinching cour-
age, and personal bravery he controlled
his crew, kept them steadily at work
for eight hours, succeeded in keeping
the fire below decks, and so managed
the passengers that not one received in
jury and all were carefully placed in the
small-boats. He quelled half-dozen
panics by the splendor of his command
and the respect his heroism inspired.
He was as self-possessed as if nothing
unusual had happened, and by word
and action Gained the fears of the wom-
ed, quieted the children, and inspired
the men. Let the name of Capt. Van
den Zee, the brave Hollander, be
crowned with honors, end his example
be paraded before men, that others may
learn the value of courage and self-pos-.

Do Not Gall The Horses

Tile rush Of md SUMMER facm work is
very tyDg on holse-iiesh. The side
draft OF a reaper or moving machine tre-
quently causes CALLED necks and shoul-
dcrs. The usually tough skin OF the
horse is softened by the flow Of perspira-
ton, and a rough, ilI-iittjng collar, a
useless, ehating ck-pad, or projecting
buckle quickly produces pain. No one
can blame a horse for ialtering, when
ordered to press its raw and bleeding
shoulder against the collar, that will sink
into its bruised flesh. To avoid gals. all
parts Of the harness should lit closely. \
laboring man is careful in buying boots of
proper size, He could not endure twelve
hours of hard labor while his feet were
cramped within an unusually small space,
or in boots SO large that his feet ship in
them and wear the skin away by constant
fricll0n. As rule, horses are worked in
too large collars. \ soft pad placed
under such will prevent CALLING. When
the animals are brought in from work,
the harness should be removed at once
and cleaned, and the necks and shoulders
we'll washed with CASTLE soap and water.
After bathing the worn parts at night,
rub on some sOttening Oil. Use no oil in
the morning. The collar should not be
oiled, as it will then gather dirt through
the day and form rough coating, that
will chate the exposed parts. Keep all
parts of the harness clean, especially
those that press upon the horse, and see
that the same is true of the portions OF
the horse against which the harness
presses. 1t is much easier to prevent
than to cure a gall w. ID. Boynton in

Senator Frye on the Constitutional Amend
ment.

The following is report of the line of re-
mark by Senator Frye at the Sebago Lake camp
meeting:
Senator Frye opened his remarks with gra-
phic sketch of the wonderful prosperity of this
country, and the blessings it affords to all. But
IN the midst of so much of good, we find the
serpents rall,-lntemperance,- the fear
ful evils of which it is the parent. 1t imposes
on the nation annually direct and indirect eX-
pendlture of sum equal to the whole national
debt. But fearful is the waste of material
wealth caused by intoxicating liquors, it is
nothing As compared with the moral ruin which
it works. The dram shop is the juggernaut
which crushes the brightest and the most
promising in the land. But, thank God there
is remedy for these fearful evils. The remedy
is twofod, moral suasion for the drinker, legal
sua>Ion for the dram seller.
What shall be the character of the legal meas
ures designed to remove so far as possible the
temptations of the dram shop Some say
license them: but all experience has shown
that tins Is futile. You may as well attempt to
restrain theft by licensing it. Some years ago
there We're men in this country who advocated
the French system of licensing brothelS under
the impression that this would restrain the
social evil 1t was tried in st. Louis. but it
was found that it only increased the evil. 50
licensing the dram shop only increases its pow

ton, j. e. giving any city or town the right to
license or prohibit the dram shops. But if the
closing of the rum shop is good for Auburn
why NOT for Lewiston? Why shall one town
in a State be authorized to set up dram shops,
and another prohibited? Local option is better
than license, but general prohibition in a State
is better than either.
Now there remains the third policy of deal

10 be sure it has not eXtrpated secret liquor
selling. Neither has the law prohibiting theft
| and murder eXtirpated these crimes.
Having statutory prohibition so long, it is
now proposed to take another step by adopting
prohibitory constitutional amendment. He
regarded it as important that this amendment
| should be adopted. because the vote on it will
| be regarded everywhere test vote on the ques-
| tlon of prohbticn or license. A negative vote
would be equivalent to a declaration against

law may be repealed by the legislature at any
| time. Constitutional law can be repealed only
| by the people. Again the adoption of the
amendment would tenG to lift the question out
of partisan politics. The vote on the amend

the moral sentiment of all parties.

How Pinkerton fooled the Newspaper Men.

The late Allen Pinkeron was exceedingly
popular with the newspaper fraternity. and he
not unfrequently had company of reporters
from the Chicago daies to visit him at his
country seat not far from that city. He was
well known As practical joker, and this pro-
pensity was continually taking new and orig
inal turns. On the occasion of one of these visits
from several Chicago journalists he proposed
rabbit shooting, and each having been provd-
ed with gun, the party set out. Suddenly Il
rabbit was seen near the root of tree. and
PinkertOn calling the attention of the party to
1t, he himself blaZed away at the little animal.
Simultaneously with the shot the rabbit hoped
out of sight in the underbush They had not
gone far, however, before another was seen,
and the host gaantiy refrained from drawing
bead on it, but yielded up the sport to his
guests. Half dozen shot-guns were leveed at
the little creature, and half dozen loads went
rafting about it. When the smoke cleared
away there was the animal still sitting erect
and unruffled. Then it was the newspaper
boys saw that they had been trcked. The rab-
bit was of lead, cast at Chicago foundry es-
pecialy for the purpose, and the first rabbit en-
countered was of the same material, only the
great detective had arranged with one of his
men to attach string to it and jerk it out of
sight at the first pop of the gun.

Why is it SOP

Some find work where some find rest,
And so the weary world goes On
| sometimes wonder what is best;
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night hours go;
Some hearts beat where some hearts break
often wonder why It's so.
Some hands fold where other hands
Are lifted bravely in the strife;
And 50 thro' ages and thro' lands
Move on the two extremes of life.
Some feet halt while some feet tread
In tireless march a thorny way;
Some struggle on when some have fled:
Some seek, where others shun, the fray.
Some sleep on while others keep
The virgils of the true and brave;
They i'll not rest till roses creep
Around their names above the grave.

For Sleeplessness.

DR.. Legare has communicated to the
South Carolina Medical Association his
few simple and successful rules in the
treatment of insomnia, as follows: First,
retire early to bed, two hours sound sleep
before midnight being of more benefit to
the body than double that number OF
hours in the day second, eat little, and
always some hours before going to bed,

mind must be put asde-none tC be car

there; fourth, the bed chamber should
contain pure, sound air, be roomy and
high if possible, and the windows be al
ways kept open, except in the night
time; fifth, when in bed, endeavor to lie
horizontally, with The head slightly rals-
ed, avoiding any forced or constrained
posture that makes the body form an an
gle, as by this means the circulation in
the stomach is checked.

Kill the Late Weeds.

The fight with the weeds in the corn
field should not stop with the cultivator.
We have frequently seen farmers strive
manfully against the pests until midsum-
mer, and then, through negligence, sub
ject themselves to annoyance through the
next season. Some weeds have a limited
season of growth, and if kept rooted out
until midsummer, will rarely come up
again others continue growing until
severe frosts come. An old Illinois farm
er said cockleburr would come up in
the morning, grow until four in the after
noon, and mature seeds before the frost
could kill it that night. This is an eX-
aggeration, yet the cockleburr must be
fought until there are heavy frosts. The
velvet leaf, Jimson, and rag weeds, will
commence growth almost as late. Weeds
are very prolific, and an occasional one
gone to seed in the corntield, will insure
good crop the next season. Corn should
not be cultivated after it is tasseled, but
the weeds can be cut out without dis
turbing the soil. For this purpose we
have seen a short scythe used, but we
much prefer hoe with a sharp edge.

Plymouth and the Pilgrims

| THE MAINE PRESS EXCURSION REPORTED BY
| OUR GEORGE FOR THE KENNEBEC JOURNAL.
| PLYMOUTH, MASS. The pilgrims We're pretty
well occupied the first winter after their arrival,
and their time was mostly spent in poultcing
| their heads where they had been scalped, and
| attending the funerals of about half of their
| number. There are various accounts of the
| first landing. Oneis, that it was a woman who
| first landed. But that is all moonshine, be-
cause she would have had to stop so long on
| the MaytloWer to fix her hair and pack her
bundles, that the boat would have gone off be-
fore she got ready. Another account is given
by picture, which represents an Indian on
one knee, assisting the white man to land. |
didn't take much stock in this account either.
The Indians at times used to assist the white
man to land, but it was on the shore of the
| next world where he landed him, and his ticket
was generally tomahawk in his skull. This
picture amused me. 1t looked just as | have

II there was any historic truth in the picture.
Fll gamble that the white man did not get his
grip on that Indian again.

well to suit me. Somebody had to come here
first, and suffer and die for us. and perhaps it Is
just as well that it was the pilgrims as any one
else. I'm satisfied if they are. There is now
very beautiful canopy of granite over the rock,
supported by four columns, and between the
columns Is an iron fence which prevents visit
ors from slipping the stone into their pocket,
