FROM OLD SHOES AND CAST-OFF

Talking of old shoes, " said the doctor, as
he bit off the end of one of the reporters ci-
CARS, "they come handy in various ways.
Old boots and shoes are made into Jamaica
runs, also into the richest Of jellies Not
only are old shoes utilized but cast-off linen
is used to make coffee and sugar.
'All these years, while you have imagined
that you were shipping coffee from Brazil and
rum from the West Indies, you have simply
been drinking cast-of shoes and worn out
linen"
$50 to !"
''Fact! The jelly spoken of is made by
boiling an old boot and shoe in soda, under a
pressure of about two atmospheres The tan
mic acid in leather, combined with salt, makes
tannate of soda the gelatine rising to the top
From this, with suitable favoring material,
the jelly is readily made.
1.-THE shirt coffee is made from old shirt
linen, and sweetened with cuff and collar
sugar. both coffee and sugar being made in
the same way. The linen, after being washed,
is treated with nitric acid, which, acting on
the Ignite contained in the FIBRE produces a
glucose, or grape sugar. This, when roasted,
makes an excellent coffee, and is sweetened
with unroasted glucose.
"Then you would have one believe that he
may have been drinking coffee made from the
shirts of his hated rival; may have spread his
mother-in-laws old shoes on his breakfast
toast, and quatfed rum made from the brogans

A GOOD CREED.

More than forty years ago Henry Ward
Beecher was editor of farmers magazine at
indianapolis, Ind. Then he published the
following, from which it will be seen that
Beecher is more orthodox as an agriculturist
than a theologian:
''We believe in small farms and thorough
cultivation.
ave believe that soil loves to eat as well as
its owner, and ought, therefore to be ma
nured.
1--WE believe in large crops which leave the
land better than they found it--making both
the farmer and the farm rich at once.
1--WE believe in going to the bottom of
things, and, therefore, in deep blowing and
enough of it. All the better if with sub
soil pillow.
1--WE believe that every farm should own a
good farmer.
'sWe believe that the best fertilizer of any
soil, is a spirit of industry, enterprise and in
telligence-w without this, lime and gypsum,
bones and green manure, mari and guano viii
be of little USE"

WHAT is THE HINDRANcE.

What is it that is hindering the progress OF
those who are striving to remove the grea.
curse Of intemperance, which is degrading
and destroying SO many of our people? Are
not very many of the men who are advocating
temperance reform, as we'll as many of them
who are protesting to be christians, RESPONSE
BILE that an evil of such magnitude has the
sanction and protection of our laws? Those
who are interested in the liquor traffic have
realized the fact that the most potent means
that they can use to increase their power and
influence, is to have men nominated as our
law makers who are pledged to protect their
interest, and very many of the men who are
praying for God to assist them in the temper
ance work. will allow partisan politics to con-
troll them to such an extent that they are will
ing to cast their ballots to have that class of
men elected, whom they must know, from ex-
perience will use their influence to have laws
enacted in opposition to what they have been
laboring and praying for. Is it not mockery
for them to ask assistance of God in the re-
moval of that great curse, while SO many of
them refuse to use the most available means
they possess their ballots'-to accomplish
that important object? It is disgrace to our
nation that such condition of affairs exist as
to allow the traffic i'll alcoholic drinks to be-
come power SO strong, that any means that
Is calculated to strengthen their power Is
readily obtained through legislation, while
measures that are intended to restrain their
influence for evil are generally defeated. The
morbid desire for strong drink and gain
should not be allowed to control our state and
national legislation, and thereby endanger the
best interest of our people. | would that
every man who is an advocate for temper
ance reform, or is protesting to be christian,
would consider well for what purpose he is
using the power that he possesses through his
ballot; is it for the uplifting of humanity, or
is it to increase the power of those who are
degrading and destroying human kind to such
an extent as to be the cause of four-fifths of
the crime, pauperism and domestic misery
that there is in this country? The ballot con-
trolls the destiny of this country, for good or
for evil. Then will it not be we'll for men to
remember that if they will vote as they pray,
their prayers will be more likely to be an
swered? God helps those who endeavor to
help themselves. AS it depends Oh their votes
to make their prayers efectual, their voting
will show what their praying is worth.

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC BASED
UPON FALSEHOOD.
BY REV. JESSE S. GILBERT, A. NJ.

BY REV. JESSE s. GILBERT, A. NJ
The liquor traffic is based upon falsehood.
Before any person can receive license to sell
rum, petition must be presented, signed by
a certain number, setting forth that the ap-
picant is of good moral character, and that
his place is needed for the public good. These
statements are always false. Persons of good
moral character do not sell rum. We might
as we'll talk of honest thieves, or sober drunk
ards, as to speak of men of good moral char
acter in the rum business. A rumseller, who
is not more or less of law-breaker, would
be greater curiosity than a genuine white
elephant. disappearing, Sabbath-breaking,
fighting, lewdness, murder, together with al
most every other crime, are intimately asso-
ciated with this business. Men of good moral
character, indeed!
AS to the other statement that these saloons,
that any particular saloon or BAR is necessary
for the public good, it is an unmitigated lie.
We feel like saying in the language of Horace
Greeley 'you lie, you villain; you know you
lie"
These saloons and bars pour forth only
streams of sin and misery. They make men
poor and wretched. They are a pest and
nuisance. The man who declares any one of
them to be needed, to be for the public good,
lies, and if he is not fool he knows that he
lies.
Then publish the names of those who sign
these applications Let us know who furnish
letters of marque to the priyateers of hell. If
they are church members they should be dis
cipiined for lying, if nothing else. A bust
ness based upon falsehood, a business allied to
every sort and degree of crime must sooner
or later sink beneath the wrath of God.
Those who aid and abet it cannot escape re-
sponsibility. The day of reckoning will
surely come Some of the most severe judg-
ments of the Bible are denounced upon liars

OUTRAGES IN CHINA.
Preachers and Converts FlOgged and
Their Houses PiIIaged.

Chinese mobs have been committing fear
full outrages on persons and places of Chris
tian worship at Canton AMI interior points
In the province of Kwang Tung alone
four Roman Catholic and five Protest
ant churches have been destroyed, 120 houses
of resident Christians looted, and their
occupants driven away. In Nam-hoi three
Catholic chapels were pilaged, MS were also
the houses of converts. The priests and the
converts were beaten. In Shi-hung the
Church of England chapel was destroyed. In
Chant sung the Wesleyan chapel was de
stroyed Christians are fleeing from the
province to Hong Kong. The Chinese gave
them the alternative OF sacrificing to the
idols or leaving their homes They preferred
the latter but while leaving many of the
women We're caught and assaulted.
The authorities of twelve Cantonese vii
lagos have issued notices that all Christians
must leave. Fifteen churches in those vii
lagos have already been destroyed, and
several stores looted. Many persons are
homeless. In Kite Iung a mob destroyed all
the Romln Catholic and English churches.
In Swallow the Catholic priests were ordered
to leave and, after they had left, Chinese
soldiers broke into the houses and assaulted
the converts. Although the attention of the
Chinese government has been called to the
barbarous acts, no action has been taken to
prevent them or to punish the perpetrators.
