A BUSINESS RUSH.
HOW Humane Dakota Coroner En-
couraged a Drowning Man.

How a Humane Dakota Coroner En-
couraged a Drowning Man.
A man once fell off of a Missouri
river steamboat, and his fare being
paid the boat of course steamed rapidly
around curve and was soon lost to
view. While struggling in the water a
skill approached and man in it called
out:
"Hey, there, partner, hurry up!"
''For heavens sake take me in your
boat before L drown!'' replied the man
in the water.
"Ain'tquite ready fer that perceedin'
yet, my friend" returned the first
speaker, beginning to back of. Come,
can wait all day"
"What do you mean?"
MEAN! don't you know me?"
"No."
"Well, I'm the coroner of Morton
County, and if you want a purity fair
funeral and first-class verdict and not
60 floating down the river without a
friend in the world you want to hurry
up and get under. There are couple
of the boys getting full over here at
the town and l expect they'll begin to
shoot pretty quick and I'll have to tend
to those eases, so if you have any self.
respect you'd better hurry up

The Women and Children.

1t is the women and children who
suffer the evils of whisky-drinking; not
the topper who spends his money for
drink, and thinks he gets compensa-
ton in feeling good and becoming I'M
conscious or extra ugly. The women
and children have rights as well as the
topper, yet the advocates of saloons
overlook the fact. Only the drinker
has rights; but there is COM
ing time when the women
and children will be respected.
The Chicago Tribune, a paper which
advocates license, puts in the follow
ing plea for women and children:
" One of the mayors daily duties is to
hear about forty individual petitions
from the wives and dependent rela-
tons of men who are confined in the
bridewell. The cases presented for
official clemency are almost uniform
in their nature. A Woodworking man
with large family of children, and
receiving barrel wages enough to sus-
tain them, gets drunk. He abuses his
wife and children, and for protection
the wife appeals to the police. The
next morning the wife is compelled to
appear before a justice; she is forced
to tell her story to the justice, and be-
fore she has finished the recital of her
sutferings the court interferes with
one hundred dollars and COSTS Then
the husband is hustled off to the bride
well to serve a six-months' imprson-
ment, and the weeping and penniless
woman returns to her children, who
are crying with hunger. The husband
is not suffering; he gets his food, a
place to sleep, and nothing to do, while
the woman is obliged to labor for the
bread her children must have or starve.
The punishment falls alone upon the
woman, while the man is the real Of
fender. IN. W. Christian AdUocate.

Thinning Root Crops.

1t may seem sometimes hard thing
to do to pull up promising plants and
throw them away, and farmer is thus
tempted to permit the roots to stand
too close in the rows. But it is indis-
pensable to success that the plants
have plenty of room. Large roots
weighing from ten to sixteen pounds
can not be grown at less than sixteen
inches apart, and eighteen inches is
better still. AT this distance, with full
rows, there will be $500 roots to the
acre, and if the roots average ten,
pounds, which is not at all difficult to
reach, there will be forty-nine tons to
the acre. At half the distance the
roots may only average three pounds,
making only little more than twenty
nine tons to the acre. The same ap-
plies to corn, for ali plants need album
dant feeding space for the roots, and
must not be crowded much.

THE BEST WOOL.


Can Not BE Produced Unless the Sheep
Are Kept in Prime Condition.
Every man who grows wool wants to
grow the best or, if not the best, the
best of the kind which he grows. 1t
may not be the best kind, but it should
De the best of its kind. Although not
the best kind for some purposes, it may
be the best for others. Every man
should aim at excellence, whatever he
does. AS the trite old adage has it,
whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing we'll" This principle APP
plies to wool growing, and mutton
growing, as well as to any thing else.
Indeed, it has a universal application.
But how is the farmer to grow the
best wool of its kind? Simply by
keeping his sheep in the best condition
all the while. The sheep that is in its
best possible condition, will grow the
best wool it is possible for it to grow
Uniformity Of condition is an impor-
tant point, and necessary to the pro-
duction of a fibre of wool of uniform
quality and strength its entire length.
The sheep must not be gorged one
month and starved the next If it is,
depend upon it the fiber of the wool
will show the weakness produced by
starving. Neither must it suffer for
want of water, or salt, or even shelter.
If it does, the expert can find it re-
corded in the fiber of the wool.
All know very well that the hair of
people is affected by sickness and often
falls out 1t also gets dry and harsh
and dead at the ends. The hair of
person in perfect health appears very
different from that of a person in poor
health. The wool of sheep is affected
in the same way, by health and sick
ness; and as sheep are often exposed to
wider and more severe extremes than
persons are, their wool is more affected
than the human hair. Sheep some
times shed their wool because of sick
ness. In case of suffering from cold
and lack of food the wool will some
times stop growing and when it starts
again the place of stopping and start
ing will be distinctly marked on the
fiber of the wool by a bad place. There
is nothing like uniformly good con-
dition, with no shocks given to the
system of the sheep, for producing
uniform fiber and the best possible
wool.-NatiO'aal Live Stock Journal.

Why Hard Times.

The only benefit that labor can de-
rive from the consumption of any arti-
Gle is the value of the labor in produc-
ing it, Whisky is sold to-day at an av-
erage of six dollars per gallon, and
out of that sum labor gets the value of
the labor expended in producing the
gallon of whisky. The market value
of the whisky, less the tax which repre-
sents no labor, is seventeen cents. So
that every time gallon of whisky is
purchased labor can get in return but
seventeen cents if it gets the full value
of the whisky, which it does not, for
capital claims its share.
A bolt of cotton cloth valued at six
dollars contributed to labor in produc-
ing it four dollars, so that whenever
six dollars is diverted from the pur-
chase of whisky labor loses the differ
ence between seventeen cents and four
dollars.
This loss to labor amounts annually
to the wages of more than 1850, 900
men at the present wages. -XYItk

FrightfuI Figures.

Nearly CPS, 900, 900 glasses of beer were
brewed ami $50, 900 gallons Of whisky
manufactured during the fiscal year end
ing June so last in First Internal Rove
nue. District of Pennsylvania. These fig
ures are obtained from Collector of In
ternal Revenue Gerker first annual re-
port recently forwarded to Washington.
Colonel Gerker's district embraces
the counties of Philadelphia, Della
ware, Chester, Montgomery, Bucks,
Berks, Lehigh and Schuylkill. A COM
parison of the present report with
those of former years shows a steady
increase in the manufacture of malt
liquors and decrease in distilled liu-
ors, there having been more than 800
600 gallons of distilled liquors made
during the year ending June 80. 1881.
There were 1896, 079 barrels of beer
and other fermented liquors brewed in
the district during the period named
for which the Government received in
taxes 81, $50, 1895. Averaging 45O
glasses to barrel the grand total
reaches 627, 7S5, $50, or so glasses for
every man, woman and child in the
eight counties named. The people
who drank this had to pay S31, $780,
277. so for the pleasure. This is nearly
three times as much money as was
paid in taxes by the people of Philadel-
phia during the year 1885. Saloon
keepers calculate upon getting Is
drinks out of a gallon of whisky. Ac-
cording to Colonel Gerker's returns
there was enough liquor distilled to
supply 22,03S,7 05 drinks, which, at 10
cents each, represent an expenditure
of 81, 203, $40. 50.-LriSh World.

TEMPERANCE READING.
THE WIFE'S APPEAL.


Love, pray you, stay with me,
Shun tonight the revelry.
Let your boon companions meet
In the bar-room if they will,
But oh! never let them greet
One for whom woman's tears,
Like the mighty dews distill
Constant, through her love and fears.
: BY the early love you bore
For this heart now faint and sore,
by my love, oh! l implore,
Drink no more!
Can those hours in orgies spent,
Give to you the pure content
That you felt in other years,
Ere the cup had touched your lips;
Ere my eyes were bathed in tears;
Ere your noble soul had lost
Selt-respect and manliness?
These have paid the fearful cost.
BY the children that / bore,
By the altar where you swore
To protect me, implore,
Drink no more!
In the great hereafter love,
When the spirit rests above,
Where the beacon light divine
For earth's weary pilgrims shine;
Where the righteous feet have trod,
AT the living bar of God,
That shall judge the world of men,
What the drunkard' s password then?
By the blood of Christ who bore
Life from death TO Heavens shore,
BY His love, OH l implore,
Drink no more!
