An Aid TO Curing Alcoholism.

We believe the best authorities are
generally sceptical as to there being any
sure cure for confirmed habits of 1neb-
riety unless the effort in that direction
be aided by a strong exercise of the will
of the unfortunate subject of the bad
habit. There are, however, many
remedies recommended as aids in di-
verting, or in minor degree satisfying
the appetite for strong liquors, which
are undoubtedly of great advantage in
some cases, and one, of these is thus
recommended by a self styled "rescued
man." I was one of those unfortunates
given to drink. When 1 left it off I
felt horrid want of something l must
have OF go distracted. I could neither
eat, work or sleep. Explaining my af
fiction to man of much education and
experience, he advised. me
to make decoction of ground quassia
q half ounce stepped in pint of vine
gar, 'and to put about tablespoonful of it
in little water, and to drink it down
every time the liquor thirst came on me
violent. 7 found it satisfied the cray
ings, and it suffused feeling of stimu-
lus and strength. I continued this cure,
and persevered till the thirst was con-
quered. For two years have not tasted
liquor, and [ have no desire for it.
Lately to try my strength, have hand
led and snelt whiskey, but have no
temptation to take it. I give this for
the consideration of the unfortunate,
several of whom know have recovered.

Electric Light Fading Out.

John F. Swift, writing from Paris to
friend in San Francisco, says that up
on revisiting Paris, after six years alb
sence, he was surprised to observe that
the electric light had been driven from
the boulevards and shops of that city.
When he was resident of Paris six
years ago, the electric light was regard
ed as a success, and it was believed that
in short time it would supersede the
use of gas. He now finds the electric
light almost entirely given up, and gas
again in universal use. He accounts
for it by saying that the rivalry had
succeeded in bringing about such an
immense improvement in the quality Of
gas and the appliances for its burning,
that electricity had been unable to hold
it's position. In the encounter gas, by
it's purity, clearness, and cheapness, had
driven it's rival from the field. The
Place de pOpsra, and the streets 'front.'
ing it, were at one time ablaze with the
electric light. In London the Thames
embankment was lighted with electric
ity. Gas has taken the place of the cleo
trio light in London and Paris. It was
found in these cities of cheap coal to he
more expensive, and has not, with the
modern improvements in the manufac-
ture and the new burners employed,
been able to make Roadway against the
old method.

Against " eed Seeding.

Mr.. w. F. Brown, who knows how
to have good garden, writes to The
National Stockman against weed seed
ing: "After the lettuce, radishes and
early peas have gone past use, the
ground is neglected and produces crop
of weeds, which natures seed enough
to stock the farm. Now make it rule
to remove crop just as soon as it is
past use, and start something else to
growing. If there is time to mature
weeds there is certainly time to grow
something valuable, and it will pay to
work the land once in two weeks for the
sake of keeping it clean if it did not pro-
duce anything. If after keeping the
garden clean for. years you neglect it
for one summer, the fight will all have
to be gone over again. It takes from
five to eight years to get land free from
weed seed, as I have proved by careful
experiment, and the cost of cultivating
a garden is doubled if the land is full OF
seed. I planted in my garden one year
two hills Of mastynia-a plant recon-
mended for pickles as we made no
use Of it, and it seeds profusely, our gar
den was badly seeded with it. I did
not allow a plant Of it to bloom after
that, but it was eight years before got
rid of it,"

Dynamite Scare in England.

London dispatch: An explosion of dyna-
mite occurred outside the detective Office Scot
land Yard, London, 1895 on the evening of the
So A corner of the building, which was COM
posed of thick brickwork, was blown off to the
height of thirty feet, taking with it portion of
the side walls, and revealing an aperature tif-
teen feet wide. Many carloads of debris lying
around attest to the strength of the explosive.
sharp reportwas heard at 9:20 Friday night
outside the Junier Carlton club house in Paul
Mall, resulting from bomb thrown into the
basement Of the club house at the back of St.
James square. A cabman states that he saw
a man light what apparently was fuse, and
then run away. Immediately afterward
there was report, followed by a volume OF
smoke After an interval of few seconds,
the cabman says, another report occurred be
| tween the army intelligence department, which
adjoins the Junior Carlton club house, and
the Army and Navy club house, facing
it on the opposite side Of St James square.
The basement of the Carlton club house was
shattered and four female servants at work
there we're severely injured. Tho London au-
thorities and public are astonished at the auda-
city of the dyamiters. The explosion in front of
the Pail Mall thoroughly scared the habitues OF
that aristocratic resort, many of whom rushed
bareheaded into the streets and got home with
all possible speed to see if the explosions
had extended to their residences.

The first crop report of the Miller's

wheat come, but the aggregate reports
disclose scarcity Of wheat in the
country that had not been
dreamed of. They show that in
every section the mills are short of
wheat, instead of having a surplus stock
as in former years, and that in three
sections the mills will require all that
is raised this year, no matter how large
the crop may be. - Probably never be-

was a very inter esting event. After the civil
marriage ct the registers office; there was all
imposing religious ceremony, ina large public
hall, which was deliberately decorated with flags
and flowers and packed with people. Among
the features of the DECORATION was large
wedding cake, in which the bride and
groom could easily have stood,
and which, after being exhibited, was cut and
distributed in little satin covered boxes to tho
ladies of the audience as they left the hall
The band of the Third dragons was in at
tendance and played Wedding march as the
unique procession came down the aisle The
brides costume was of cream colored satin,
Withspeafls and orange blossoms, and the groom
wore q ull-dress uniform and sword of ma
jor-general in the United States army. The
bridesmaids were Miss Thornton, a local
belle of Manchester, and Miss Alice Flynn,
the groom's sister, and the generals best man
was Herr Alpts, a German dwarf. The oficiat-

Infection From Nursery Stock.

Close planting in the nursery is a
most frequent cause for the appearance
of scale insects in destructive numbers
Young orange trees are planted in rows
a few inches apart, and are often left
for years in close ranks, with their
branches interlocking, and affording
easy passage for the migrating young
of back-lice, that if they effect a lodg-
ment upon any plant, the entire row
and even the whole nursery, is quickly
overrun by them. The crowding: of the
plants prevents free growth; they are
stunted, and for want Of nourishment,
as we'll as lack of Zig ht and air, they are
thrown into a condition in which are
particularly liable to the attack of scale
insects. In common parlance,1 "they
breed scale" In the existing almost
universal distribution of the pest, those
nurseries only can be kept from becom-
ing foul in which reasonable amount
of space is allowed to each plant for
its growth and cultivation. At least
eighteen inches should intervene be-
tween the plants, and the rows should
not be less than three feet apart. Ex-
perience teaches that it is easier to keep
clean and uninfested, a large, well-or-
dered nursery, than it is to remove the
scale insect from single orange tree of
moderate size when once the pest has
become fully established. No part of
the grove is so liable to suffer neglect
as the nursery, and it is unfortunately
a very common practice to allow seed
ling plants to grow up without atten-
ton in neglected corners, and frequent
ly to become so foul with scales as to
become source Of infection to the
groves and nurseries in the vicinity.
To this neglect, undoubtedly, is due
the fact that the advance of insect pests
has fully kept pace with the orange in
dustry in the recently-occupied districts,
both in Florida and in California;

Courtship Drifting Womanward :

A writer in the Home Journal be-
ieves that the old fashion courtship is
passing away, and asking what are to
be the regulations of courtship during
the transitional epoch, answers as fol-
lows: "Nominally and theoretically
the man still does all the counting, but
really and practically women are taking
the matter into their own hands.
Enough of the restraint of chivalry has
remained to prevent them from openly
proposing marriage to the object Of
their choice; but there are thousand
ways in which lady of tact may WOO
and yet not transcend the bound of
etiquette. The present method is a
hybrid between the one-sided counting
of knightly days and the custom which
will prevail when women have their
proper position in the perfected society
in the future. In q word, courtship is
now evidently drifting womanward, by
which we mean that the ladies will con-
;stantly take a more. and more active
part in it,. until in the day when wom-
an shall have her rights, the most
important of which is marriage. it will

An Eccentric Character.

Charles Robert Newman; a younger
brother of the great Cardinal, has died
recently. He was man of remarkable
erudition, like his brother, but. of very
eccentric character. He was recluse,
and never went out until night, when
his striking figure, was dressed in pea
jacket, with shawl or a rug thrown
across his shoulders and with a sou'wes-
ctr over his head, might have been seen
marching along the country lanes, rigid
ly erect, with staccato step, looking nei-
ther to the right nor left. He had even a
more distinguished head and face then
the Cardinal. There was in him touch
of Mephistopheles and also of Jupiter
Olympus. The room in which he lived
and died, in the top of a country inn,
was as meagerly furnished as Goethe's
study in Weinlar:

Gentleman remarks: Heifers that
breed young generally make the best
COWS at maturity. If he;fer has a
bag when she calves. it will increase
with age, and when she is at middle
age she is altogether better than one
that is kept back until she is a COW be-

fore she breeds may do we'll the first
season, but never does we'll again. The
young heifer will begin small and do
best at maturity. These conclusions
are arrived at after more than fifty
years practical experience. I have
known heifer to drop healthy calf
three days before she was twelve months
old, and size has had no unusual trou-
