INCREASE OF TEMPERANCE.

How the Moral Sentiment of the Coun-
try Has Changed Within Generation
Regarding the Drink Habit.
In nothing, perhaps, has society I'M
dergone more benefcent change than
in the matter of the drinking habits.
1t is not long since active, aggressive
work in its behalf began, and yet it has
been successful in way that is re-
markable. 1t is not uncommon to hear
somebody say 1t has failed" but he is
one wholly unacquainted with his
tory of the habits of the past. Men in
middle life can easily remember when
1t was the practice to have whisky at
nearly all public meetings, and when the
decanter stood upon the sideboards and
tables of the best people. To drink
was the common practice, and not to
drink was an eccentricity. Nearly
every store, even in the most moral
communities, had liquor as an
article of barter for the convenience of
its customers. 1t was not wine-drink-
ing that was popular, bnt whisky
drinking. The people believed, not
simply in something to cheer or make
glau their hearts, but in whisky, mad
dening and destructive as it was, as a
universal commodity and an invigor-
ator for all classes of persons in all
kinds of employments. 1t was even
thought by some that the minister could
not preach his best sermon without q
preliminary dram.
We do not need to say how COM,
pletely all this is changed. The moral
sentiment of the communities is rapid
ly combining against the custom. A
saloon is looked upon with disgust.
The country bars have been abolished.
And in many neighborhoods there is
agreement that no saloon shall be per-
mitted, and that, so far as is possible,
the traffic in intoxicating drinks shall
be broken up. There is undoubtedly
much drinking still, and the curse Of
it is resting on the people as one of the
aggravated ones of the TIME; but the
disgust towards drunkenness is in
creasing, and is making itself more
strongly felt in many forms of resist
ance. Just what direction the work
may take in the near future no one can
precisely tell, but all signs point to Sc
we're restriction, and then to prohibi-
ton, where that is possible. Thus far,
all temperance people, men and wom-
en-, are at one. They need still more
unifying, and that. no doubt, will be
secured as time and circumstances
develop the grounds upon which they
can meet and labor. United PreSbyte-

SOWING FALL WHEAT.
The Work Necessary to Make the Crop /;
Profitable One.

The Work Necessary to Make the Crop
Profitable One.
In some sections the wheat is sown
Dr. drilled in the fall, though in the
West the spring is usually the time, in
order to avoid winter-killing. The
FAULT with fall wheat is the hurry of
getting it in. The ground is plowed,
narrowed and the seed drilled in. If
;he land could be plowed twice before
seeding, and then frequently narrowed,
30 as to have the seed bed made as fine
is possible, it would largely add to the
yield of the crop. The constant work
ing of the soil is not only to render it
line but also to destroy the weeds
Weeds do more damage in field of
wheat than in any other crop, owing to
the difficulty of eradicating them, and
any labor that may be bestowed at the
time of preparation will save much
more labor later on. If the wheat is
to follow corn, the land can be plowed
but once, but where it is in falloW it
should be plowed in September and
then again later on. In applying fer
tilizers the usual practice is to put in
the fertilizer with the seed, which, of
course, is done as labor-saying ar
rangement, but the desire to save la
Dor often increases it, or, rather, it
causes more loss than gain. The prop
en- plan is to apply aSout one-fourth of
the intended quantity of fertilizers in
the fall, saving the remainder for a
spring application, which is just the
time it is needed most, and will give
greater benefit. By carefully prepar-
ing the soil, and using proper Judgment
in applying the fertilizer, the crop viii
thrive better. the yield be increased
and the quality of the grain improved,
which, of course, allows a larger profit

Twas in July; the month when by the beat

And flirted with the pretty girls who came

When sudden cry of anguish came from out

He saw female figure in O bathing-suit of

He asked her hand in marriage; che accepted

Deep joy welled in his bosoro as the vision

Poured Into the Sewer.

On Saturday, in the presence of and
assisted by the members of the "High-
gate Gospel Temperance Help-One-
Another Society,"" Mr.. William Green,
of Bishopwood House, Highgate, the
president of the society, destroyed his
cellar of wines, about twenty-five hun
dred bottles, valued at $1,000 In
speech explaining his reasons he said
that, after mature reflection and
earnest prayer, he had come to the
conclusion that it was Gods will that
he should part with the contents of his
wine cellar. Three methods were
pressed upon him from time to time.
One was to sell the wine to the trade,
knowing that they would sell wine,
whether his or not; the second was to
sell it and give the money to some
charity, and the third was to give it,
as it was, to the hospitals. In pursuing
the first course he would be participant
ing in the sale OF an article which had
been proved to initiate against the
physical, social and spiritual advance
ment of society. The same reasons
were equally applicable to the second
course, and beyond them there was in
addition the inconsistency of causing
injury to others in order to benefit
some one else. The third course was
met by the success of the London Tenn
perance Hospital, where it had been
proved that alcohol was not necessary
in the treatment of any disease. After
this address the contents of the bottles
were poured into the sewer.-BeJast
