THE TRUE TEMPERANCE AGENCIES.

The Jersey City journal, in late is.
sue, says.
We readily concede it is q good thing
to diminish tho total of drunkenness or
drinking; it is good thing to make the
traffic disreputable, and drinking unfash-
ionable; it is good thing to drive the
grog shops out of the business and prin-
cipal streets and into out of-the way cor
ners and under cover. Therefore we do
not condemn Prohibitions; but it is absurd
to claim that it is panacea for the evils
and the curse of intemperance, or to dis
card and TO condemn all other temper
incorporating agencies except legal
Prohibition. This is where the Prohibit
tionists make their fundamental, radical
mistake.
One of these "other agencies" is the
general and powerful influence of the
Christian churches of the land which is
exerted in favor of temperance reform:
that does not owe it's existence to prohi-
bition. Another temperance promoting
agency is found in the numerous organ
izations of various names, whose object
is the promotion of temperance habits in
the individual, without any reference to
prohibition or any other legal or legisla-
tive action or effort in the interest of
temperance. None of these organizations
owe their existence to prohibition, and In
many Of them prohibition is not endorsed
or insisted on, yet they have done good
deal of Temperance reform, much more
than prohibition ever has practically ac-
complished. Another of these agents is
local option, and another is high license,
and both are effective temperance promo
ters aud neither of them owes its exist
ence to prohibition. The notion that pro-
hibition monopollzcs, or can monopolize,
tho temperance work is wholly erroneous,
but it is the notion that possesses those
who fight against oil good influences and
agencies, except the one which is their
hobby and pet

ed it keeps one warm feeding it to the
steve. If you sit down to write, you
must rise at every period and put a
twist in the stove, and if you forget it
for ever so short IA time you will find
yourself sneeziDg and catching cold.
But now all that is done away with.
Some enterprising Yankee in the vi
cinity of Mitchell has invented an at
tachment for cook stoves which is the
wonder and admiration of the country.
The apparatus is nothing more nor less
than a sheet-irOn boiler, about the
shape of an ordinary wash boiler, only
deeper. To operate it you stuff the
boiler full of flax straw or loose hay
the flax straw is preferable-and, tax
ing off the griddles over the fre-bOx
of the stove, you place the boiler up
side down over the griddle holes, and
1t is truly surprising what an intense
heat it will emit. One filling will last
from one to three hours, according to
the draught you give it, and you have
a fire equal to IA coal fire for baking
and all other purposes. AS there is an
of flax straw in the country,
fuel is now costing the people next to
nothing. One of the leading coal mer-
chants complained the other day that
they were losing their best coal GUS
toners on account of the "blasted
boiler invention" AS it is not patent
ed and can be made by any timer, its
cost is but 81 so, which places it with
in reach of all. A great many are us
ing their old wash boilers, which do
very well, but they are not nearly as
good as the regular ones.

Always Late.

Half the value of anything to be
done consists in doing it promptly.
And yet a large class of persons are
always more or less late. Their work
is always in advance of them, and so
it is with their appointments and en-
gagements. They are late, very like
ly in rising in the morning and also in
going to bed at night; late at their
appointments, also. Their letters are
sent to the postoffice just as the mail
is closed. They arrive at the wharf
just as the steamboat is leaving it.
They come into the station just as the
train is going out. They do not en-
tirely forget or omit the engagement
or duty, but they are always behind
time, and so are generally in haste or
in hurry, as if they had been born a
little too late and forever were trying
to catch up with the lost time. They
waste time for themselves and waste it
for others, and fail of comfort and in
fluence and success which they might
have found in systematic and habitual
punctuality. A good old lady who
was asked why she invariably was so
early in her seat at church is said to
have replied that it was her religion
not to disturb the religion of others.
And if it were all part both of cOnr-
tesy and duty, not to say of religion,
never to be unpunctual, they would
save time for, us well us annoyance to
others, and aid themselves to success
and influence in a thousand ways.

TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION.

To the women of Caledonia county
Dear sisters:-While we are all so in
tently watching the fate of the Scien-
titie temperance instruction bill at
Washington and rejoicing in the fact
that it has been favOrably reported
from the committee on education to the
senate of the United States--let us not
forget that there is duty which de-
mands our attention here at home.
Our temperance instruction, which was
secured largely through the work of
the unions of our own state, is not en-
forced Our children are not being in
structed in regard to the effects of
stimulants and narcotics upon the hui
man system. There is now no reason
able excuse for this neglect. Suitable
text books have been provided for all
grades in our schools and can be OBJ
tanned very cheaply.
Allow me to suggest that you can
help enforce this law by manifesting a
greater interest in the welfare of our
schools, and to urge every one of you
as far as practicable to attend school
meeting, and be ready to vote for such
men and measures as will best promote
the welfare of those you so dearly love
and whom God has given to your care.
1t is useless, dear sisters, for us to ex-
pect that the best and highest interests
of education will he advanced if those
having charge of our schools be men
without moral or religious principal as
is often the case. When good men are
in authority it will he much easier to
secure the enforcement Of our grand
temperance law, which is one of the
objects for which we of the w. C.. II. u.
are working.
Who should be more interested in
the welfare of our schools than moth
ersP We need to remind ourselves
constantly that our children spend
nearly half their days in the school
room. Should it not be our concern
then that these school rooms be well
warmed, properly lighted, thoroughly
ventilated and clean. Dear Christian
women let me urge you to think upon
your responsibility in regard to these
things.
Yours for the salvation of the child

Make Hens Law.

The agricultural papers and poultry
journals throughout the New England
states have, within a few weeks, pub
lished several articles in respect to
making hens lay by the use of Sheri-
dams Powder, which have aroused a
deep interest in the subject. The idea
of making hens lay in winter seems to
have been new revelation, but since
these articles appeared thousands have
demonstrated the fact that it can be
done with great profit. With view
of establishing beyond all question the
great value of Sheridan's Powder to
make hens lay, and with view of OBJ
tanning the experience of large num-
Der of in telligent users for publication,
the propTietors, i. ;. Johnson II Co.,
- Custom House street, Boston, have
offered $50 in gold coin, i'll four prizes,
for the best results after four weeks
trial. All persons interested can get
full particulars free by addressing
Johnson * Co. as above. Strictly fresh
eggs now bring b cents per dozen in
Boston, at retail, and the supply is not
half equal To the demand. We don't
advise people to keep hens unless they
want to, but we do advise those who
do keep them to look into this matter
at once.

A Muryvump,s Opinion.

The constitution said that the presi-
dent should nominate and by, and with
the consent of the senate, appoint GER
tain officers. AS part of the executive
power the senate had the right to
know what influences, considerations
and information had decided the presi-
dent in making nomination. Its ac-
ton could not be thoroughly intelli-
gent unless it had such information.
Mr.. Cleveland was, perhaps, right in
declining to make his action retroac-
tive and in refusing to turn over COM
munications intended as confidential,
and in many cases SO marked. But his
course in the future was clear. He
should place all communications on
record, and the writer's should know
that letters to the president are letters
to the country.-[GeOrge William Cur

If the day is warm we shall see plen-
ty of Venetian boys swimming in the
canals, wearing nothing but a pair of
light trousers, and they care so little
for our approach that we are afraid our
gondolas will run over some of them.
The urchin sare very quick and active,
however, and we might as well try to
touch fish as one of them. | once
saw Venetian girl about sixteen years
old, who was sitting upon the steps of
a house teaching her Young brother to
swim. The little fellow was very
small, and she had tied II cord around
his waist, one end of which she held
in her hand. She would let the child
get into the water and paddle away as
well as he could. When he seemed
tired or when he had gone far enough,
she pulled him in. She looked very
much as if she were fishing, with
small boy for bait From "Personally

agreement like this: "We the under

A question among farmers is: What
can we find to restore our farms to
their former fertility? Those having
no barnyard manure will do well to use
one ton of phosphate on four acres,
which will produce corn enough to fill
a silo, and will feed twenty cows twice

Hurting Eastern Farmers.

The Chicago dressed beef men are
not wholly the public benefactors they
profess. Buying cattle in immense
quantities for slaughter, they are
enabled to run the butchers out of bust
ness in the East, and for that matter in
the West as well. When once compe-
titiun is killed and the butchers are
placed ON the retired list, they will put
the retail price up to suit their pleasure
and the customer will be wholly at
their mercy. Suppose the Chicago and
St. Louis dressed beef men controlled
the trade in New England, where
would the farmers of New York, Yer
mont, Maine and New Hampshire find
market for their beef cattle -[Culti-
