box apotheosized and put to better uses, with it's covers cut of and partly sunk into the box, with an expectant expression at it's front end and a long wooden handle at its rear, one could form very good idea of it's appearance. It seems to be very harmless, ordinary sort of substitute for the common plate, but it is in it's simplicity that its efec- tiveness lies. For instance, MT. A. in pew No. at the head of tho center aisle is ap. preached by the collector. He puts upon the fiat, sunken top of the box his contribution say nickel. The coin remains in plain view as the collector carries the box horizon tally until pew No. 3 is reached. The box is then passed before MT. B., who is thus ad- vised of what his neighber in the seat ahead has given. Before B. can put in his offering the box is turned up at an angle of 45 Q, and A. .s coin slides through the opening into the interior of the casket, and is no longer on exhibition. This done the box returns to the horizontal, with the cover blank and empty for B. coin to rest upon until the evolutions are performed once more at C.'s pew" It is said that it is working like charm in some of the churches but prominent member of the congregation is thus quoted sfI can't say Hke the eonfo1Eded thing it is too much on the drop-in-the-nickel- and-fnd- how-much-respect-th the- next-pew- will have for you plan, but it works"

A CARELESS BILL.

Massachusetts has been generous toward the veterans of the civil war. The average payment by the State to invalid pensioners and their dependents already amounts to over $1, ,000 for each day in the year. A bill is now before the legislature ot the State which pro- vides that whenever any person having le- gal settlement in any city or town in the commonwealth, who served in the army or navy of the URited States in the war of the rebellion and received an honorable discharge therefrom, shall, from any cause except his own criminal or wilful misconduct, become poor and entirely, or in part, unable to pro- vide maintenance for himself and dependent family, or whenever such person shall have died and left widow or minor children without proper means of support, such de- pendent person shall be supported wholly or in part, as may be necessary, by the city or town in which they have legal settlement, and at their own homes or such other place, other than an alnshouse, as the oyerseers of the poor of such city or towns may deem right and proper And it is provided that the cities and towns shall be entitled to re- ceive all necessary sums so expended from the treasury of the commonwealth
 This is pretty sweeping bill. If it should become law the number of veterans in Mas sachusetts would doubtless greatly increase, for veterans would move there from other States. The bill excites the following proper protest from the Springfield Republican This bill could we'll be entitled ''An act to promote the pauperization of the descendants of old soldiers" No man can estimate the drain that would thus be put on the State treasury, from which nineteen millions have already been paid out. Such an act would usurp the work of the Grand Army organiza- tion, over 10000 strong, and be in effect an insult to that lf-respecting organization. Its provisions violate those sound principles of philanthropy which make f-help the aim Of all aid, and would tend to demoralize those ostensibly benefited. Neither the State nor the veterans can afford to permit the en- actment of this act it stands, and members of the legislature will do we'll to bring the light of common sense to bear where it's at- tention is so greatly needed.

-------------------- Alcohol En Nature.


 Among the curious side issues of the cur-
 rent temperance discussion is the question whether alcohol is a natural product. This is, believe, vigorously denied in some guar ters. Alcohol, like bread: is manufactured artifcially from natural product. In each case fermentation, natural process, IS made use of But while bread is known only as a product of manufacture, alcohol appears to be very widely distributed n nature, though in extremely minute quantities. Nor if this st all surprising. If grapes or apples, or their juice, be exposed to the air, fsrmenta- tion sets in and tho sugar and other carbohy- drates ara changed 10 alcohol. The fer ments which cause ths change are aoat in theair all about, and nigat not unnaturally attack similar compounds in other vegetable su bsta noes. Prof. Nuntz of the National Agroponic institute in Paris has, by refined chemical tests, discovered evidences of alco- hol in cultivated soils, in rain water, in sea and river water, and in the atmosphere. He finds that vegetable molds may contain cor siderable quantities, and it appears probable that alcohol ''originates in the soil, from the
 fer mentation of the organic matters in it, and is thence diffused vapcr in the atmos-
 phere."
 Another side issue of our temperance dis J1 which maintains that the wine used in Pales- tine in the time of Christ was not alcoholic. have been unable to find evidence that the composition of the juice of the grape, the laws of fermentation, or the practice in the l making and using of wine, were different in that country at that time from those in other countries, or in that country at other times; and believe it safe to say that the theory that Bible wine was different from other wine, that it had not the aleohol which ether wines contain, is without any basis to support it, in 1 the opinion of the student eff science. Of the inexprsssibly baneful effects of alec hol that have made it's excessive use one of | the worst of the evils of our modern civiliza- tion, this is net the place to speak. But there is one matter in this connection about which, I trust, ws1d may not be out of place. It is that, great as the physical evil of alcohol, the moral evil is iaeomparably great CT; that true temperance reform is moral re- form; and that like every other moral reform
 it will be best furthered by the closest alliance | with the truth. The moral argument against | alcohol seems to me invinoible.- Is it not | certainly strong enough when the facts are adhered to, without the congregations into which earnest reformers, in the intensity of l their convictions, are sometimes led!

WASHING FLANNELs.

 FlanRels and colored things are the next consideration and here it may be remarked that the time when the articles should be taken iR hand ought to be determined by the weathsr. It is most desirable that, when the day is fine, clothes should be hung out to dry. Of late years the importance of this detail has been forgotten, and in large estab- Iishments where linen is washed wholesale, it is usual to have drying-closets, hot-air chambers and other contrivances, where linen can be dried without being hung out of doors at all. This is unfortunate. There are no purifiers like fresh air, wind and sun, and an experienced laundress could tell at once whether clothes had been dried indoors or not.
 Clever housekeepers, accustomed to wash ing, often speak strongly in favor of Aannels and prints being washed at the commence ment of the washing-day's proceedings and they find the plan convenient, because they say that colored things can be washed in the same water as fannels and the water used for riasing hannels will serve for 'f6rsting" the best whites. All this is true and yet, when we come to practice we find it is best to- let the state of the weather determine for us when AanRels are to be washed. We have to remember that though linen and calico may lie for while after being washed with out injury, yet flannel and colored goods must be quickly dried, or they will spoil. To dry fannels slowly causes them to shrink to dry colored prints, chintzes, etc., slowly, is apt to make the cobra run. Flannels and colored things, therefore, should moi be touched until there is prospect that | they can be dried off and be done with and this is why we should consider the weather in deciding when they shall be ! washed.
 Flannsls should be put into good warn 1 lather-that is into soapy water, only | f little warm but on no account into colo water As much as possible, rubbing should be avoided with them, because to rub flannel makes it thick. Wringing alse \ is harmful to them, and it is better to | squeeze and press the water out of then ! than to wiring them. Soda also should never be used for hannels; and if they arc | be neither mangled ironed. Colorec goods, too should not be put into very ho | water, and soda should be dreaded for them They should neither be starehed with hot starch, nor ironed with hot iron. After l washing they should be rinsed in cold water,
 in which good handful of bay salt, or g | little alum, has been dissolved. They should ! aot be dried in the sun. Neither fannels | nor c0Iored goods must be boiled. Many
 laundressss put several handfuls of common salt into the water in which colored things ] are rinsed. This helps to make them look clean and bright, but it also tends to make them turn limp speedily. This objection l does not apply quite as much to bay salt as to common salt

A Florida newspaper says that the killing off of alligators is having marked effect on the supply of water in the cattle country When alligators took possession of water hole they always kept the mud pushed up on the banks, and even when hundreds of cattle went to the pool, and by crowding and push- ing filled it with mud, the alligators soon re- paired the damage by digging and push- ing back the mud. Now the cattle stand around these holes, which are filled with mud and almost entirely dried up, and wait for rain the only water they get meantime be- ing from the dew-covered grass which they eat at night.
