SUCCESS ASSURED.
What Has Already Been Accomplished

What Has Already Been Accomplished
in the Temperance Reform Movement
The Agencies at Work.
The friends of Temperance have
reason to be encouraged by the prog
ress which this cause is making. The
time was, and that within the men,
cry of men now living when liquor
selling was regarded as an hon
orable business. Men OF high stand
ing in the churches and of ac-
knowleaged piety were not ashamed
to be known as liquor deal
ers. 1t is not SO to-day. The traffic
is slowly but surely being driven into
the hands of very disreputable class
of citizens. If public sentiment will
continue to advance along this line,
NO man who lays any claim to self-re-
spect will be found in this business.
The progress of the Temperance
cause is seen also in the public discus
sion of the question. Column after
column in our newspapers is devoted
to this subject. The daily press dares
to be silent no longer. The evils Of
intemperance are discussed but little;
they are acknowledged on all hands.
The only question is: What is the
best method of preventing these evils?
The leaders of the political parties are
aware that this is the impending issue,
and they are trying to shape their
platforms accordingly. The more this
question is agitated, the nearer will it
be to correct answer.
Much of the progress which has been
made can be traced to the efforts of
the women. The crusade movement
wrought good in this direction. tire
vealed the fact that the women OF the
country were almost unanimously on
the side of Temperance. 1t lead many
to think deeply on question whose
Importance had for many years been
overlooked. The organized efforts of
of the Women's Christ tan Temperance
Union have accomplished wonders.

Ruin, Slow but Sure.

Alcohol does not destroy its VIC
tins, in most cases, suddenly, as in the
death sleep of profound intoxication
or in the wild maniacal rawlings of
delirium tremens. By slow and I'M
measured steps in most cases by in
ducing cirrhosis of the liver, Bright's
disease of the kidneys, anasarcha,
ascites, rheumatism, rheumatic govt,
defective vision, fatty degeneration of
the heart, arteries and muscular sys-
tenn which finally ends in paralysis,
imbecility and insanity; alcohol occa-
sions a vast amount of disease over
the face of this mighty republic, and
carries death, destruction, dishonor
and shame into thousands of happy
homes. Alcohol is at the bottom of
a large proportion of crimes commit
ted In the United States. Alcohol de-
thrones reason and poisons the fount-
aims of sentiment and morals, and is
even more destructive upon the moral
and intellectual nature than the phys
ical organism of man. Y Phornaa.

Knocked Out by Alcohol.

In former Heath Monthly we
quoted what Ben Hogan, an ex-pugil-
list, had to say ON the subject of main
tanning health, remarking: at is
pleasant to know that any moral les
son can be drawn from pugilistic life. "
In the recent encounter between the
champion of America, John L. Sui
Ivan, and Mitchell, of England, on the
soil of France, the burly American
failed to accomplish what was expect
ed of him. Current press comments
assert that his physical powers have
been undermined by too free use OF
liquors. Here is chance to draw
another moral from pugilistic life.
When trainers can control their men
they deny to them the use of both
alcohol and tobacco, and the experience
of tn is class of men the world over for
many years past is valuable proof of
the inervative effects of this indulgence.

No better use can be made of the
small potatoes than to cook them for

necessary to mash them when some

tatoes make excellent food at this sea-
son, and for ducks and geese are SUI
perior to any thing else.
Some of the best friends of the
farmer are the parasitic insects. The
ichneumon fly deposits eggs in cater
pillars, and the tomato worm seldom
escapes. The eggs soon hatch, and the
larvae eat into the worm, avoiding the
vital parts until the little parasits shall
have been full fed, when they will come
out and spin cocoons on the body Of
their victim.

Directorie gowns for the street are
of light Suede or tan-cloth, made with
a long straight over-dress with wide
Incroyable revers on the waist, OPEN
ing below over cloth skirt that has
no steels or hustle, and is trimmed with
fiat applique bands and vines of darker
cloth sewed on lengthwise from belt to
foot; this is stylish made with the red
ingote of tan-colored cloth opening
over cream-white cloth skirt striped
with maroon-colored applique cloth
figures, and worn with alarge Merveil-
leuse cravat of white silk muslin. Di-
rectoire gowns for the house are also
without steels or hustle, and are made
with basque and straight hanging
skirt breadths falling on lower skirt
of embroidered silk muslin, which in
its turn is gathered at the belt over a
foundation skirt of changeable silk.
Thus gored skirt of copper and green
silk is covered by straight full skirt
of white dotted silk muslin. Over the
muslin skirts hang striped silk breadths
(also of red and green), one on each
side and two in the back. showing the
white full skirt in the front and be-
tween the breadths. The pointed
basque has Incroyable revers at the
top above the darts, turned back in a
point to each armhole, and cravat
bow of the silk muslin is at the throat.
The sleeves have plated frill of the
white muslin falling forward on the
hand, and the edge of the basque is
concealed under sash of breadth of
pale blue silk passed around it, and
hanging in loops and fringed ends to
the foot on the right side.
Tailor gowns are made with smaller
tornures, having only two steels and a
cushion half the size of that formerly
used; imported tailor gowns have but
one steel and a small cushion. Anna
teur dress-makers buy the set of three
steels, and use only the two short

two larger steels for those who are
large enough to require them. Reseda

TENANT FARMING.
Its Failure Said to Be Due to the Short
Term Lease System,

Its Failure Said to Be Due to the Short
Term Lease System.
Over one-fourth of the farms in the
United States are worked by tenants
and about nine-tenths on one-year
leases. Owners are unwilling to lease
for a longer term until they know
their man." During the year some
thing usually occurs to provoke disa-
greement and at its close the tenant
seeks pastures new. Many things
lead to differences. The contract may
be verbal and although fully discussed
when made, memory is treacherous
and landlord and tenant soon find
themselves at variance. If the con-
tract is written it is generally so loose
thai portions may be subject to di-
| verse Interpretation. If he so chooses
the tenant can usually obey the letter
Of the contract and not do the business
half as well as was intended and as it
should be done. 6For instance, he has
the right to firewood; if the kind be
not specified he can cut the most val
liable timber in the woods, and he
often does it. Fields can be slackly
cultivated, stock improperly fed and
cared for, economy not used in saving
manure, and more than thousand
similar things can be mismanaged and
not violate the average contract. Each
of itself may be of not much import
ance, but in the aggregate they are
sufficient to swamp the business for
the whole year. The landlord is often
unreasonable, officious and arrogant,
which is always discouraging to the
tenant; and it is the tenants interest
or he thinks it is-to get all he can
| off the farm and return as little as pos
sible IN the way of labor, repairs, etc.,
hence under short-term leases farms
always run down. Tenant-farming
will never be mutual success until
the interests of both parties are made
to run in the same channel by long
leases. Gales Wilsoaa, IN N. 7. Tri6-
| u7ae.
