Johnston, in his chemistry, SAYS:
Ardent spirits of every variety are
little else than alcohol diluted with
water. They contain, none, therefore,
of the common forms of nutritive mat
ter which exists in our usual varieties
of animal and vegetable food.'' Wells,
in his chemistry, tells us: "Alcohol,
when taken into the stomach, acts as
deadly poison" Turner says, in his
chemistry: alcohol taken internally
operates as a powerful stimulant and
produces various alarming diseases,
and death attends its habitual use''
DR.. Naphey. in his work, prevention
and Cure of Disease" says: because
alcohol robs you Of your sensibilities,
you drink it in summer to keep cool
and in winter to keep warm. 1t does
not in reality cool, neither warm you,
but it deadens your nerves SO that you
do not feel either the heat or cold.
Ii it were necessary, I could quote
several columns of scientific authori-
ties who all agree that alcohol is no
food, but dangerous and deadly
poison"
But perhaps liquor possesses some
moral effects beneficial to society. Let,
us see. Do the wife and child who go
in rags that the husband and father
can spend his earnings in the saloon,
believe that strong drink is home
blessing? Does the wife believe as she
sees her husband lying in the gutter
or on the floor of the house drunk, does
she believe that alcohol is an elevator
of mankind? Does she believe as her
husband kicks and cuffs her about that,
alcohol makes man nobler, gentler,
| purer and more god-like? Does that,
aged, gray-haired mother who devoted
the best days of her life to bring up
her son Alright, does she believe as she
finds her son behind prison bars, that
liquor is Q moral blessing? Does she
believe as her son comes home intoxi-
Gated and abuses her and his father,
that alcohol teaches to children the
moral precept, Honor thy father and
thy mother?'
Do the friends and relatives of the
GAO insane, made so by the use of
liquor, do they believe that alcohol is
a gift OF God to His children? Do
the 2l,OOO paupers in the different
alms-houses of the country, eating the
bread of charity, and who were
brought there through the use of
liquor, as your own statistics prove,
do these people believe that liquor
keeps body and soul together? Do
the $4,000 criminals who look to-
heaven through prison bars and who
admit, as you prove, were brought
there by strong drink, do they believe
that intoxicating beverages harm no
one and are essential to mans happi-
ness, enjoyment and freedom?-Hugo
Preyer, IN Union Signal.

PLASTER AN, !. ASHES.
Their Effects ON Soil Considered from Va
rious Points OF View.


Their Effects ON soil Considered from va
rious Points OF View.
It requires warm, dry land to get
any good from land plaster on the corn
crop. If the land is wet and cold it
may even be an injury. Land plaster
helps to keep the leaves of plants
moist from dews for longer period.
This is one OF its greatest benefits on
the clover crop, which evaporates
moisture SO rapidly that even on wet
soil, when in full growth, it requires
all the water it can get. But under
such circumstances corn suffers. Less
than most other crops it draws moist
ure from the soil early. Two or three
small plants, standing three feet or
more apart each way, can not afford
much relief from excessive moisture
by the evaporation from their leaves.
II weeds spring up they injure the
Leaf more by taking up plant food than
they can benefit by relieving the soil
of excessive moisture. So If, through
wet or cold weather, the corn comes up
looking yellow. no plaster should be
put on it unless mixed with wood
ashes, or possibly other alkaline ma
nures.
Wet land is early in the season gener-
ally filled with humic acid, which is
destructive poison to plant roots. 1t
is this acid that turns the leaves of
corn to a yellow or even brown color
on soil where water has stood during
winter and spring. Plaster, which is
sulphuric acid and lime, makes this no
better, and in some cases makes it
worse. The alkaline potash corrects
this acidity, and helps to place the
plant food that such oils always con-
tain in available condition for using.
1t is only thus that we can account for
/; the wonderful effects of wood ashes
when applied to wet, mucky soils
early in the season. After warm
weather comes such soils become ex-
ceedingly fertile. as the humus when
exposed to warmth and air furnishes
nitric acid, which is as helpful as the
humic acid is injurious. The effect of
the potash is to greatly hasten this
change, the nitrid acid uniting with it
and forming nitrate Of potash, or salt
petre, which is one of the best manures.
Late in summer many farmers be-
ieve that an application OF land plas-
ter is excellent for corn, especially if
drought is likely to injure it. At this
time the greater condensation of dew
on corn leaves may with gypsum en-
able ammonia in the atmosphere to be
used by the corn. AS the weather is
then warm, the danger of chilling the
plant has passed, and the additional
moisture will do the corn good, even
though it brought nothing but pure
water to the plant But the refresh
ing effects of dews are too great to be
explainable by the notion that they
serve merely for watering the roots.
It seems almost certain that the influ-
ence of land plaster in attracting moist
ure from the air to the plant Or soil
must also extend to the bringing with it
a larger amount of ammonia to be used
as food for the crops which it benefits.

SALLY UNDER THE APPLE-TREE.

Oh the jolly old apple-tree,
With Sally standing under,
Holding her little apron wide,
To catch the rosy plundsr
The while JacH shakes with might and main
Till apples tipe and mellow,
Come pouring down, rudy rain,
For Jacl's a sturdy fellow.
Then Sally lifts her fiower-like face,
Framed in pink sun-bonnet,
And pays him in fragrant kiss
With all the bloom upon it.
Oh Sally under the apple-tree,
My little darling pet
The sweetness of that kiss you gave
My memory treasures yet.
But years have come and years have gone,
And all the world grows older,
And while our pockets fill apace,
Our empty hearts grow colder.
think of all the years have brought,
The joys rye bought and paid for
For men must always foot the bills
What else, pray, were they made fora
A palace on Fiftn avenue,
stylish clipper yacht,
A hunting stud, a Tally-ho,
The winning colt-what not?
A wife and daughters a la mode
(Three dolls, we'll stuffed with straw,
Two lazy dissipated sons,
one ditto son-in-law. M
A lonely heart, a loveless home,
A world of toll and trouble,
And weary days, and sleepless nights,
And all for what? A bubble
So looking back with longing eyes
TO days of sweet unreason,
When all our wealth was youth and love.
And apples-while In season
How / despse the sordid pelf
That brings me naught but sorrowl
For one sweet kiss from Sally's lips
Id give it all tomorrow
All to be young again, Sally,
Beginning Life anew, M ..s-t.sa4
Shaking the tree for all I'm worth
To win a kiss from you

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

have personally no prejudice"
says Canon Wherefore, against those
engaged in the liquor trade; but / am
utterly tired of seeing this bright
world turned into Jail or hell in
order that the great brewers and dis
tillers may become millionaires and
peers.
WHISKY is the key by which many
gain an entrance into prison. Brandy
brands the nose of all who can not
govern their appetites. Wine causes
many a man to take a winding way
home. Ale causes ailments. Cham
payne is the source of many real pain.
Beer brings many to the bier.
THE Naval Temperance Union re-
Gently held an interesting meeting on
the deck of one of the Government
vessels in the Brooklyn navy-yard.
Hundreds of sailors and others were
present This organization has been
quietly making itself power in the
naval service, and now numbers over
twenty-five hundred members, the ma
jority of whom are on war vessels. A
similar work is being done in the mer-
chant marine.
DIR. b. w. RICHARDSON, in an article
in the Asclepiad on :. Alcoholic Asthe-
mia of the Heart" declares that an
unprecedented reading of nature leads
irresistibly to the rule, that the greater
the sense of failure of the heart from
alcoholic debility, the more urgent is
the necessity for absolute abstinence.
He has never seen q single recovery
under any system of half measure or
tampering with the enemy. All the So
have proved radical failure, physical
ly and morally.

THE liquor traffic is one Of the thing
that is tolerated. 1t is an evil, un-
mitigated and of great proportions.
No man and no community would suf-
fer if every saloon were closed and
every barrel of alcoholic liquor de-
stroyed. For the representatives,
therefore, of tolerated evil to assume
that they are being abused and their
rights trampled on when society seeks to
exercise restraint over the business is
a false position to take, and when they
go to the other extreme and noisily de-
ny the right of society to protect itself
they arouse to action spirit powerful
enough to throttle them and crush
them into the dust. Chicago Mail.

Children burned to Death.

GRAFTON, Ont, Aug. 13.-7A house occu-
pied by a French family named Toussing,
consisting of father, mother and eight chill
dren, was discovered to be enveloped in
flames. Two of the children. aged and
years, were burned to death, and another
aged was SO badly burned that it can not
recover. The rest of the family barely es-
capped with their lives. The house and its
contents were entirely consumed. The
cause of the fire is unknown.

over here yesterday informally and almost

journey to Iowa this morning. He concluded
to make another day Of it. He and Col. Swords
disappeared from the hotel at about the time
they would have gone to catch the train that
they had announced they would take, but they
did not take any train. Neither did they call

who are doing most of the comforting ON mat

The public printers Office is very comfort
able one, and, while Mr.. Clarkson may not
want it himself, he would probably like TO have
considerable to say as to who does get it. Mr.
Clarkson being a printer himself, his tastes
run in that direction. There are candidates in
Indiana already for the place, and William Hol-
loway, one of them, has taken dinner with Mr.
Clarkson here and consulted with him at some
