Curing a Drunkard.

None Of my lady readers will be
likely to need the following, but they
may be 80 unfortunate as to be con-
nected with some one who does.
The tincture of capsicum is a strong
tincture Of African cayenne pepper in
alcohol.
According 10 an article in the
British Medical Journal, it has been
found by DR.. Renger that the tine
ture of capsicum in ten drop doses
is the best remedy TO counterfeit th..,
craving for alcohol which is the
curse of all inebriates, preventing
their return to rational conduct. This
remedy has been tested by Other
physicians, and they report very
favorable in regard to it. They give
several instances of various men o.
all ages who, half-muddled, hung
around low drinking SALOONS, or a
home; and who, when the liquor
saloons shut up, would pick the lock
or when their money was taken from
them, would tipple on credit when
ever there was n chance.
The best way 10 administer thi
remedy is to commence with tiv,
drops in a little syrup Of orange pee
before meals, increasing the dose o
capsicum TO twelve drops. In on,
month most of them became quite
different men, changing from hal
idiots to men who attended TO theil
business and took an interest in nj
that was going on in the world.

Knocking.
BY REV. ii. II. HENRY.
Hall, DID,

Sometimes the knocking of the di-
vine hand is as soft as that of little
child. 1t is especially so when a
loved form lies cold and silent await
ing the last sad rites of earth; when
everything is quiet, and a solemn
hush rests upon the household. In
wakeful midnight hours, when grief
lies so heavily upon your heart that
even tired nature cannot sleep, then
is heard strange knocking, knock
ing, knocking. 1t is the blessed Je.
sus at the door of your heart with a
message of comfort. Let him in and
he will lift your burden, wipe away
your tears, and speak words of prom
Use, hope and cheer.
Sometimes, during a period of re-
ligious interest, the knocking is quick
and threatening, as If the divine call
er would take no refusal, or as if he
were about to leave and never return.
Then the message is so important, the
time so critical, the opportunity sc
favorable and yet so limited, that the
Holy Spirit knocks as If he would
almost compel the sinner to open the
door and receive Gods blessing.
Sometimes the knock of Providence
is hard and loud, like that of strong
man beating upon the door in thu
dead of night. The sounds rims
through the hall and every room o
the house, for his errand calls for i'm
mediate admission. A laborer leave
home in the morning, the picture o
health, and before night is brough
back a crushed and mangled corpse
The whole neighborhood is shocked
and while we lie still, wondering a
the mystery of Providence that take
away a husband and father so sud
} denly and 80 unprepared, we hear, il
the dead of night, the divine han'
loudly knocking; and while tn
sounds echo through every chambe
OF the soul. we hear the Savior warn
! ing words, "Be We ready"
: "Oh," says some one, "my heart

]. d. Bramlett of Wartrace, Tenn,
is the originator of this novel Sunday
school. He conceived the idea that
the operators being compelled to re-
main at their pests all night seven
nights in the week were deprived
ofall religious advantages. If they
arose on Sunday in time to attend
church and Sunday school it resulted
in loss Of sleep which the most of
the operators could not stand without
injury. The more he pondered
upon it the more he became con-
WINGED that the wires could be
utilized to the spiritual profit of him
self and his fellow operators. He
finally conceived the idea that q
chapter in the Bible could be read
every night, and imparting this idea
over the wires it was agreed to at
once and the following class organ.

A chapter from the Bible was sent
over the wires and the plan was 50
successful that it has been continued
ever since. This was about two
weeks ago and at , O'Clock every
morning q chapter from the Bible
now passes over the wires. They
began with the first chapter OF
Genesis and intend to take up the
chapters in regular succession until
the book is completed.
They reached the fifteenth chapter
of Genesis last night and the success
of the plan is assured. The operators
are thoroughly in earnest regarding
the matter and are enthusiastic over
the results that have been obtained 50
far. The chapter generally occupies
the spare time of the wires from two
to two and a half hours.
SO successful was the plan that

About Farm Wells.

The wells on the farm are a great
source from which come many diseases
Some wells are never cleaned. When
dug they are carefully boarded over, the
pslmp made tight and snug, with the
ground sloping away on all sides so as
10 allow the surface water to flow from
the opening. There is no well water
thatis pure. Something depends on the
character OF the soil. II sandy, and the
water will disappear quickly from the
surface after rain, the well will drain
the soil for a long distance around it,
and the consequence will be that a large
portion OF the filth of the soil will find
its way into the well, although the
water may appear sparkling and bright.
II is c0ntended that the soil removes all
the impurities from the water; but this
depends upon whether the soil, by
long-continued absorption, be not

INFLUENCE OF HOME.
The Strong Lever by which Men Arc
sfsg e.lE Lifted Heavenward.

u e.rE Lifted Heavenward.
1t will be very difficult for reform in
the bad habits OF men to be fully &C
complished unless in each case the man
is offered the alternative Of a happy
home. There are romantic stories stated
in the daily papers of young and very
happy young women having married men
in order to reform them. In few cases,
so far, has there been a happy result of
the project stated But the whole prece-
dent in history goes to show that the
happy and comfortable households are
the ones that are most generally exempt
from the influence of the prevail.
ing vice of the age. A man may
change his whole character under
the influence OF a truly happy
home, and the best of men may seek in
clubs and saloons partial resource
from ill-cooked food and the slovenly-
kept houses. Men and women can not
lay their shortcomings on another's
shoulders. Persons with the most I'M
happy homes have lived pure, noble
lives despite every discouragement; but
these are strong natures. Not every
of perfect rest, such as good
home offers. 1t would be interesting
to know what was the home life of
the many men who are now embezzlers
and fraudulent bank cashiers, and who
from refined surroundings have sunk
down to the level of common thieves.
Home extravaganza may not have driven
them to this place, but the want of a
moral standard at home has done more.
The growing boy has early heard his
father congratulate himself over a
sharp, overreaching bargain over his
neighbor in stocks or merchandise, and
has seen his mother pleased. He has
been brought up in a worldly home, for
the world, and learned early his lesson
that to acquire money was the chief of
all ends. Reared in such an atmos-
phere, or even in Christian home, he
may have married worldly woman who
cares only for show, and not for the
holier life of home What wonder that
the moral sense of such q man is blunted
and his religion is sham? The home
life Is the strong spiritual lever by
which men are lifted Heavenward.
Take this away, or turn it to tho mere
uses OF extravaganza, show and folly,
and that power is gone. All religion
which is taught outside Of home, with
out the existence Of religious life in
tho household, is like the apples of the
Dead sea-beautiful TO the sight, but
ashes within.-N. Y. Tribune.

Does Farming Pays

1t is claimed that farming does not
pay like other occupations. 1t is more
profitable than any other industry to a
larger number of people, or in a larger
number of cases, than other forms of
business. Because people hear of an
occasional instance of prosperity among
machinists, mechanics or manufacturers,
it Is assumed that nearly all succeed,
but this is not So The ninety-five or
ninety-seven per cent. OF unsuccessful
men are never referred to, while the
small numbers who succeed are lauded
to the skies. This is about the proper
ton in nearly every trade and profess
sion of success or failure. A larger, bet
ter showing is made among men who
follow agriculture. The intensity
Of competition among manufacturers
requires them to hire cheap labor. The
one hope of those so forced to the wall
is to go onto farms or become so skilled
in some line that their labor is indis-
pensable. 1t is not necessary that one
should go West to begin farming with
the hope of success. Labor, frugality,
skill, effort, are just as sure of reward
in New England as in the newer States,
and the same qualifications are much
more likely to give success in farming
than in any other profession or employ
ment. There are just as many oppor-
tunities to do well now as were ever
known. Nor do farmers spend more
hours at their labors than men in other
occupations. The drudgery of the
farmer is no more severe than that ex-
perienced by the tradesman, merchant
or professional man.-Rev. Z. c. Bald

The Identity of the Boil w orm.

The boll-worm is the caterpillar or
larva of the Heliothis armigera, and is
known under the several names of corn
bud-worm, corn worm. boll-worm, toma-
to worm. etc, according to the plant on
which it is found feeding. The moth
which lays its first eggs in May or June
is very closely allied to the moth of
Aletia argillacea, or cotton caterpillar
moth, but is somewhat larger and of
darker color, especially in the hind
wings. The boll-worm, when full-grown,
descends several inches into the soil,
where it undergoes its transformation
into chrysalis and then into the moth,
the late fall brood remaining in this
condition throughout the winter.
