We trust the publication of prices will

have no money to advertise goods not

WOMAN'S FAULTS.

z There is a class of girls, who
|'have an existence in all grades of
society in the South, but only
flourish in the slums in the North,
who smoke, chew, dip and snuff TO-
bacco. The effect of these habits
are easily determined with the i'm
mediate uses, but ii is hard to tell
how disastrously it may reach
their children. The effect of the
use of tobacco is not alone on the
physical womanhood, but it largely
\ affects her finer spiritual relations
with God.
The great increase of consump-
lion, softening of the brian, paraly-
sis, dyspepsia and bilious troubles,
are largely due to the use of tobac-
co; and in the increase of the to-
\ baccO habit will be found cores

l detrimental facts and statistics will

ry on the life and conduct of wo-
man, that she has so far lost her
balance in yielding to the habits of
tobacco, as the great hope of the
reformation of man, to u moral and
godly life, lies in the purity and up
rightness of woman. These filthy
tobacco habits are INDUCED in on
the streets and in the homes of
hundreds and thousands of girls
and married women, without a
seeming consciousness of their ef-
feet upon their own minds and
bodies and the influence it may and
does have upon their children.
In the earlier days we were
taught to regard woman as an
angel, but fancy an angel trans
formed into tobacco worm, and
your highest idea of an angel would
not be elevating.
Mothers cry and pray over their
drunken boys, and never SO much
as indulge thought that they are
responsible for their drunkenness.

Farmers Clubs.


The season of comparative leisure
with farmers is approaching, when
long winter evenings and much lei
sure for Improvement will be had.
How shall we spend this time is a
question worthy of consideration.
This should be the season of ment-
al activity with farmers. While the
boys go to school the older heads
should also be busy. Now is a time
when farm topics should be intro
duced and discussed. And for this
purpose Farmers Clubs could be es-
tablished to advantage. The TINES
would like to see such an association
in every district, and weekly or
semi monthly meetings had. Not
only would such gatherings prove
entertaining, but most instructive.
Make them family affairs, kind of
experience meetings, and much of
lasting value will be learned during
the winter. There is too much of a
disposition among farmers to live
within themselves. The farm in.
terest is powerful and influential
one in itself, but neglected, if not
despised by men who should and
doubtless would be their friends, if
the farmers themselves were only
more alive to their own interest.
Is it any wonder that the agricul-
tural interest is always snubbed by
Congress and many of the State
Legislatures, when the farmers
themselves seem so Indifferent to
their own interest. The passage of
the oleomargarine bill and its be-
coming aTlaw shows what the farm.
ers can do when they exert them
selves. But there is one way to
command recognition, when you
want it, and that is by uniting the
strength of the agricultural interest
as a whole and this can only be
done through farm Associations.
Hence we urge the formation of
Farme rs Clubs throughout the
country as a mean, of protection as
well as instruction.

POLAND AND THE DRINKS.
Senator Blackburn Made Mistake,
but Rectified it in Time.
From the National Republican.

From the National Republican.
No member of Congress of recent years
was better known to the galleries than
Judge Poland, OF Vermont. The blue
dress coat with brass buttons which he
always wore made him conspicuous
among his colleagues. He is above the
average stature; his features are as clea r
cut as cameo, with an
impression of severity that makes
his bumor and good nature. His
general appearance, dignitied bear
ing and correct manners convey the idea
that he is one of the most straItlaced of
men. Senator Blackburn tells a good
story that illustrates the manner of man
Judge Poland is. Poland and Black burn
were members of the House during the
Forty-eighth Congress. One day some
friends of Blackburn while on the way to
the Congressional to obtain liquid re-
freshment met tbekentucky member as he
was passing across the hall OF the House,
and invited him to join them.
'W ait minute.v said Blackburn, 'tun-
til 1 speak to Judge Poland, and | will
Join you"
''Bring the Judge with you," said one
OF the party.
'Judge Poland never drinks" said
Black burn.
AZ JulS HOn6 vi his ITleHub ldugueu,
and one replied:
''You don't know the man, ask him to
join u.s."
Blackburn repaired TO POland's seat,
transacted his business, and then invited
him to join the party. Poland accepted,
much to the surprise and qualification of
Blackburn, and as they were proceeding
to join the party VINO had preceded
them, Blackburn informed the Judge of
the conversation here related. Poland,
without changing his countenance, said:
81 don't know why you should enter
tain such an opinion Of me, and yet am
not surprised, as many men have hereto
fore acted upon the same belief, and in
consequences of the belief | have lost
many good drinks in my time"
From that time forward Poland never
missed drink when Blackburn and he
were where drinks could be obtained.

WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY.
Prof Gill Does Not Believe in the Sea
Serpent but Prof Goode Does.

From, the Washington Post.
Prof. Gill, of the Fish Commission, who
is familiar with ancient and modern sea-
serpent literature, does not believe in the
existence of any such monster as that
which is reported to be disporting itself
in the Hudson river. The negative evil
dence, be says, is very strong as presented
to the scientific mind. The true serpent
Is an air-breathing animal, and could not
exist indefinitely beneath the surface OF
the sea. Such monsters were common in
the cretaceOus age of the world, and their
remains are common enough in the de-
posits of those times, but nothing remote
ly resem bling them is found in the de-
posits OF later geological ages.
The sea bottoms OF these later ages are
In many parts of the world now above the
surface and open to the inspection of geo.
logists. Ii any descendants of the ancient
monsters had remained alive, traces of
them, he thinks, would assuredly be
found.
There are monsters of the shark family
which grow to an immense length and
swim with an undulatory motion, which
might cause them to be mistaken for SER
pents, but they have no power of raising
their heads above the surface and gazing
about them, as reported Of the Hudson
river specimen.
Moreover, the deep sea inhabitants OF
the present age are descendants of littoral
species of former ages. the reptilian spe-
cies having ceased to exist. There are, to
be sure, real sea serpents now inhabiting
tropical seas, swimming upon the surface
and sometimes climbing on shipboard--
some species of which are pOisonous-but
they are little fellows, from one to four or
five feet in length.
On the other hand, Prof. Goode, also of
the Fish Commission, does not wholly
discrediU the statement that q monster, as
yet unknown to science,of reptilian shape
and having the power and habit OF lifting
its head far above the surface of the SEES,
may still be in existence. He has been
told by commander of a revenue vessel,
for whose trustwortbiness he can Vouch,
that creature of this character, as large
around as an ordinary stovepipe and with
a head on 1t, once made Its appearance in
the vicinity of his vessel in the Pacific,
raising its head far above the surface OF
the sea. Prof. Goodies informant was not
''talking for publication" and was not
the kind of man who would be likely to
deceive or be deceived in such matters.
From time to time captured creatures,
which are reported to be sea serpents,
fall into the hands OF naturalists, but
when submitted to the tests of science
they uniformly prove to be abnormal
specimens OF familiar forms, such as the
basking shark and the oar fish.

STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND.
A Member of a Family of Insect Eat
ers in New York.
From tAs Ne'O York Star

rom tAs AeD York STAR.
The National Museum has recently OBJ
tanned live specimen of the Solenodon
Cubanus, very rare animal belonging to
the order of insect eaters. Members of
this family are found only in Cuba and
Hayti, and a live one has never heretofore
been seen in this country or In Europe
Our naturalists will now, therefore, have
their first opportunity for studying the
habits of this curious creature. It was
obtained through United States Consul
Reimer at Santiago, and was shipped to
tue National Museum, together with TWO
others, which, however, died during the
voyage, and their bodies were preserved
in alcohol. Mr.. True, the curator OF the
mammal section of the museum, states
that very little is known Of the habits of
these animals except that they sleep dur.
Ing the day and 70 out at night 10 search
for the insects upon which they chiefly
teed. Their long, flexible noses are sup.
posed to be useful in smelling out their
prey. This is perhaps the most curious
feature about these animals. Their bodies
are covered with coarse black hair, with
the exception Of the rump, which is bare.
The solenodon belongs 10 the same order
as the mole, but they constitute family
by themselves. Since It's arrival at the
museum this solenodon has lived on bits
of fresh moat, hut II Is the intention 10
make an experiment with insect diet and
ascertain whether the insects Of this latI-
tude agree with IL. There 10 considerab BILE
doubt whether it will live, but II it does it
will be sent after while to the Zoologi-
cal Gardens in Philadelphia. IL cater
pillars come within the scope OF the mean
Ing OF the torn insects, and IL this new
conner develops any kind OF an appetite,
it would find constant and no doubt re.
munerative employment under the Park
