She Took Beer.

One of the 'sa mple rooms which line the
northern side Of Alabama street was the
scene yesterday of a significant incident.
Seated at a table was a well-known New
York drummer n prominent lawyer and a
prosperous shoe merchant. These gentlemen
were engaged in pleasant conversation
when in walked one of the female soldiers of
the Aviation Army She was attired in the
regulation uniform Of blue and carried under
her arm a bundle of the Battle Cru. As she
walked along she distributed copies of the
sheet
Seeing what she evidently regarded as a
trio of promising sinners at the table, she
walked over to where the three gentlemen
were drinking their beer. She tapped the
New York drummer on the shoulder. He
looked up in astonishment
Take this paper she said, thrusting a
sheet into his unwilling hand
Thanks, ," he repliel.
''Now, said he, won't you have glass Of
beer"
''Yes, Sir, thank you" was the unexpected
answer.
The astonished bartender drew a glass Of
foaming beer aud handed it TO the woman in
blue. She took it,and the drummer placed a
nickel on the counter.
The soldier held up the amber liquid a mo-
ment and looked at it. The beer was certainly
tempting, What her intent was could not be
OWNED. In a moment she settled the ques-
tion. She walked to the front door and
dashed the contents Of the glass into the
street. Then she began to preach a temper
ance sermon.-Aidatd Constitution.

Temperance News and Notes.
There is an Iowa decision against ginger

Boston has a new law prohibiting the sale
Of liquor on holidays.
The New York NelUs speaks of a begging
tramp with "a system soaked with gin and
sorrow
A law has been passed in Waldeck, Ger
many, forbidding the granting Of a marriage
license 10 a person addicted to the liquor
habit The Austrian Government has intro
duced into the Reichsrath a strong measure
for the prevention OF drunkenness. The
reason alleged is the alarming deterioration
in the physique Of young men enrolled for
military service
Encouraging reports are received Of the
temperance work in China. Several young
men OF the Anglo Chinese College at Shang-
hal have I'm tel with those OF the Presby-
terian Mission Press in a temperance society
which meets monthly. This society not
] only advocates temperance but purity OF life
and is against opium, toOacco and other evils.

Removing Forest Trees.

The following method of removing
forest trees is recommended in the
Prairie Farmer, which says:
''It is novel and probably better
adapted to the South than the North,
though there are some trees probably
that it might answer for here. There
are few trees more ornamental than some
of those from our fores' s, when planted
in open ground and properly cared foI
and pruned. There is always more OF
less loss connected with transplanting
these trees, which has kept many from
putting them out, but Hon. Mr. Bielby
has adopted method of moving trees
that does away with a good deal of risk
and loss. On his place two miles north
of De Land, he has planted row of
magnolias, holly, oak and other trees
which are doing well and certainly
recommend his plan. In the case Of
holly and magnolia he dug up trees that
were from four to six inches in diameter,
and sawed them off at the crown. BY
doing this great many more can be
carried at one time and much more
easily handled. The stumps are planted
in the usual way and a stake put up to
mark the place. In short time several
shoots appear and these are allowed to
grow for while and then all but the
most shapely and thrifty are cut off. Mr.
Bielby claims that the tree thus planted
makes much more thrifty growth, and
places its shape under control and is
much more satisfactory every way. Try
it."

Some Friends of the Farmer.

In concluding recent bulletin from
the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station, Rev. George ID. Hulst, Ento-
mologist, says: 1t may also be an advan-
tage to point out some of the friends of
the farmer, which, consequently, no
farmer should destroy, or allow to lie de-
stroyed. Among these are toads, which
are, under all circumstances, the farm
er's friend; moles and field mice, proba-
bly,, do a vast deal more of good than
harm all birds, especially robins, wrens,
thrushes, orioles, cuGkoos, phebes, blue
birds, woodpeckers, swallows and cat
birds. The destruction of all these
and many others, except for scientific
purposes, should be made, under very
heavy penalties, illegal in every State.
The house sparrow, known better as tho
English sparrow, is to be rated an ex-
ception. This bird is now universally
regarded as a nuisance, first, because Of
its grain and vegetable destroying pro-
pensities; secondly, it drives away in-
sect destroying birds. Among insects,
many wasps are friends, especially thosd
with more or less protruding horn OF
sting at the end of the abdomen. Lady
bugs and lace wing flies live entirely
upon destructive insects, especially plant
lice and scale insects, and should never
be destroyed. Dragon flies, or devils
darning needles, are also useful and
harmless.

Preserving Eggs.

Although there are dozens of methods
for preserving eggs, yet but few of them
are worthy of notice. Lined eggs have
been almost unstable this year, aud tho
lime method will soon be discarded We
give below few rules that will enablo
our readers to preserve eggs in a good
condition for at least three months,
though eggs have been kept as long as
SIX months by the process,
l. Always use fresh eggs, and do not
rely on those from your neighbor. You
must know that every egg is fresh, as
one stale egg may in ure all.
?. Use eggs only from hens not in
company with cocks, as such eggs will
keep three times as long as those con-
tanning germs Of chicks.
3. Keep them in cool place-tho
cooler the better. Anywhere near 40
degrees above zero will answer, though
60 degrees will be cool enough for a few
months. Only be careful that eggs do
not freeze.
4. Turn them half over three times
week, 10 prevent them from adhering to
the shells. The turning of the eggs is
very important and is one Of the secrets
of success.
3. No packing material is necessary.
Simply lay them on racks or shelves
though if preferred they may be packed
in boxes, IN dry oats, and the boxes
turned.
g. Solutions, greasing the eggs. egg.
preserving preparations, etc., are un.
necessary, as some Of them injure the ap.
pearance of the eggs.
If the above rules are followed there
will be no difference between the eggs
so preserved and those that are fresh.
No person can succeed in preserving
eggs who buys them from all sources,
and who does not know Just when every
egg was laid, aud it is on that point SO
many failures occur. You cannot place
any dependence on eggs except from
your owl hens. Even your neighbor is
sometimes unable to prevent getting g
stale egg in among the fresh ones Never
use stale eggs as nest eggs, or allow sit
ting hens TO be in room with your lay,
ers. The greatest care should be eXer.
oised, and The eggs kept always cool, -

Queer Fancy of a Collector.

A man in Denver, Colorado, named
Lyon, is said to have a collection of over
zoo pens, no two alike. Some are of
steel, some gold, some amalgam, and so
on. There are pens pointed fine enough
to make lines of microscopic delicacy,
and others intended for men who use
the first personal pronoun great deal in
their correspondence. The collection
embraces specimens from England, Ire
land, Scotland, Germany, and other
uropean countries. besides America and
Canada. Some are in shape like shovels,
others resemble section of stove pipe,
and others are delicate and diminutiye.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Remedr Cor wire Worms.

The common wire worm is not readily
destroyed by caustics or other appl ca.
tions spread upon the land. These
worms will live for hours in saturated
solution of salt, also in a caustic lime
moistened with water; and it is not at
all probable that hundred bushels per
acre of either would seriously disturb the
worms feeding six inches below the sur.
face. AS we cannot readily destroy the
worms, we should seek to make the grain
planted or sown distasteful 10y soaking
it in poisons or some strong. scented so
luton, or even coating it with such Of
fensive substances as coal tar. The
latter has been used for this purpose
quite extensively, and with excellent re-
suits. A teacupful of soft tar is sufficient
to coat a bushel of seed corn, and then
by addirga few handfuls of dry soil or
wood ashes the grain is prevented from
sticking together or to the hands when
planted. Crows will not pull up tarred
corn, and there are few insects or worms
that will molest it, t-Neto York Sun.

Fitting Bones for Fertilizer.

Strong lye will rapidly disorganIzc
bones, says a professor in a Michigan
college, especially if boiled in the lye /;
the ossein or organic matter of bones is
rapidly dissolved and they become brit
tie. If wood ashes cannot be got in
sufficient quantity, bones may be fitted
for use as fertilizers by breaking into
coarse fragments with a hammer and
then boiling them with a mixture of sal
soda, eau tic, lime and water The or
dinary carbonate of soda or sal-soda
ought not to cost more than three or
four cents a pound when purchased in
quantity. Three pounds of sal-soda and
two pounds of caust lime boiled up in
two gallons of water will make solu-
tion that will rapidly act on broken
bones when boiled with them. When
the bones are well softcned and brittle,
the whole mass may be mixed with eight
or ten times its volume of dry muck, or
turf mould and thoroughly mixed, when
a valuable manure will be secured. The
potash of woodashes, moreover, is more
valuable as manure than soda.

Facts About Butter.

A New York dealer who knows
whereof he speaks said to a Mil and EI-
Dress reporter; 1.-The annual product Of
butter in the United States is not less
than 200, 600, 600 pounds per annum.
II is generally admitted that one half Of
the butter produced is artihcially colored.
If this be so, and if natural high colored
butter is valued at five cents more per
pound than the uncolored article, it fol.
lows that the public pay no less than
S2t, 600, 900 per annum for an artificial
color, believing it in most cases to be a
natural color and an indication of supe-
rior quality, for which they receive no
equivalent. 1t is also true that if one
pound Of color, which consists of an
natto color, dissolved in cotton seed oil,
is required for 1000 pounds of butter,
there must be not less than half a million
pounds Of spurious butter added 10 the
product of the country in the shape OF
