The Homiletc Re1vew is authority
for the statement that of twenty six
leading business firms and manufac-
turers in the United States, possess
ing capital of $75o,ooo or over, on
ly one permits the use of liquor in
the establishment, and then only
during the dinner hour. Each one
reports that the business interests of
the employer are jeopardized by the
dram shop association of the EN-.
ploye, and that most cases of indi-
vidual poverty among the latter can
be traced to the saloons.
The high-license system of Boston
has had the effect of reducing the
number of saloons in that city, but
the bar facilities of the large number
of drinking places left have been
greatly increased. Many saloons
have heightened their bars and add
ed to their supply of glasses, seats,
etc.; others have rented additional
room, and all have increased their
custom to such an extent that the
fallacy of high license diminishing
the sale and consumption of liquor is
so plain that he who runs may read.

quick and permantly.

Sailing Stock.

Too many farmers salt their stock
on the impulse, or spasmodic plan.
That is, they give them an extra
allowance one day, and perhaps a
week or fortnight, according to the
urgency attached to this matter, deal
out another supply. This is certainly
a wrong practice, as stock should be
sailed at least twice week and reg
ularly. l ain positive that if the
housewife knew what an important
factor this sailing of COWS is in butter
making, some one would attend to it
in more systematic manner.
This can be done by providing salt
boxes" attached to a fence, building
or post, provided either with hinge
cover or swinging door in front, in
which is kept a supply of salt. In
either case leave the door open for
several days, and when closed you
will be surprised to see how quickly
cattle, horse and sheep learn to open
it. You will also learn that by the
old plan you have failed to give them
an adequate supply. If possible,
have the cattle box separate from
that for the horses, as the former are
rather dainty on this point.

Confederate Monument.

A year ago movement was begun
in a quiet way at Richmond, Va,
looking to the erection of a monument
to the private soldiers and sailors of
the Confederacy. The committee
having it in charge have reached a
decision as to the design, which is to be
a reproduction in granite of the col
umn near Alexandria, Egypt, called
Pompey's Pillar The column is to be
surmounted by bronze figure of
private soldier of the Confederate ar
my. The column is to consist of a
base, a die, and a capital, as in the
original pillar at Alexandria, and a
shaft of the same proportions, but
composed of thirteen blocks IMPLYING
the thirteen Confederate States. 1t
is intended that each of the thirteen
States shall contribute one block to
the shaft. The sculptor Ezekiel, once
a Confederate private, now a resident
of Rome, was selected to make the fig
ure for the pillar.

Wanted to See the Devil.

Intense excitement was created at
Goochland Court House, Va, a few
nights ago during church meeting
by the appearance of Amy Boggs, a
small colored girl, in the congregation
fourishing a razor Men, women, and
children ran in all directions Some
women tainted, others tumbled in the
mud, and the girl was soon in posses
sion of the church, her eyes glaring
and her slight figure trembling with
frenzy. When she had driven the last
person from the church, she cried out
Nov | want to see the DEVIL
She was finally overpowered by two
constables, and an examination show
ed that she was in religious ecstaey
and was looking for the devil, whose
throat she had taken VOW to cut
1t was fortunate that the congrega-
ton fled before her, as she had been
told that the devil was in some people,
and she designed cutting them open
to get at him.

Mother And Widow At Twelve.


A Huntington CIV. Va dispatch
says: MRS. Bloedel, twelve years cid
and a widow, has given birth TO
well-developed, healthy girl baby.
A letter from her father, Samuel K.
Jarvis, a South Carolina farmer, con-
firms her statement that she is but
twelve years old. She looks no older.
Mrs. Bloedel says her father employs
a large number of men on his farm.
Among them last year was German,
Jules Bloedel, seventeen years old,
who worked about the house, The
two young people fell in love, and
Bloedel asked permission to marry
Agnes. 1t was refused, and Agne s
was sent to an aunt in Columbus.
Bloedel was discharged. He learned
of Agnes's whereabouts, and started
for Columbus He met the girl with
out her aunt's knowledge, and after
few days they ran away, the girl
selling her jewelry in order to get
money to pay her expenses. They
were married and came 70 Hunting
ton, where Bloedel assumed a ficti-
tious name. He secured employment
and they were living happily, when
Bloedel fell ill with typhoid fever and
died in a week. The young widow
was very poor and suffered much.
She was induced to acquaint her father
of her condition, and he has forgiven
h er and will take her homen

Experiments With Fertilizers.

What fertilizers shall user The
most satisfactory answer to this fire.
quent question will be found in the
results of simple soil tests, repeated
Overland over. By this simple method
of plot experimentation you can find
out better than by any way what are
the best and cheapest fertilizers for
your own soils and the crops raised
on them. The right fertilizer in the
right place is the one you want, and
just what that is you must find out
yourself by practical experiments. A
fertilizer may be used that will largely
increase the crop to which it is appli-
ed; thelmost economical and profitable
one to use is the one that will supply
the elements lacking in the soil that
are needed by the growing crops,
without any waste Of valuable plant
food. Plot experiments will show
what you ought to try on a larger
scale.

In the report of United States
Consul Griffin, stationed at Sydney,
the consul tells Of q remarkable Gus
tom of the inhabitants of New Britain
as follows: The inhabitants, it is
said by Wallace, have a peculiar Gus
tom of combining their girls in cages
until they are old enough to be mar
ried. This custom is said to be pecul-
lar to the people OF New Britain.
The cages are made of twigs of the
palm tree. al the girls are put in
to them when only two or three years
of age. The Rev. George Brown es-
tablished a Wesleyan mission in New
Britain in 1876, and | learn from him
that these cages are built inside of
the houses, and that the girls are
never allowed to leave the house I'M
der any circumstances. The houses
are closely fenced in with a sort of
wickerwork made of reeds. Ventila-
ton under the circumstances is rem
dered very difficult. The girls are
said to grow up strong and healthful
in spite of these disadvantages

MuIching Trees.

Mulching is generally applied to
trees for one of two objects: late in
the fall or early in winter as protect
ion against thawing and freezing dur
ing the winter. And in the latter
part of spring or early summer as an
aid in retaining moisture in the soil.
By its aid better growth and devel-
opment is secured, but at this time it
is possible to allow it to remain too
long, and cause as much injury to re-
suit as benefit has been derived.
Time must be given for the new
growth of wood to fully mature and
harden before freezing weather sets
in. If not matured the liability of be-
ing injured by freezingis considerably
increased. Allowing the mulch to
remain around the tree too long or
continuing the cultivation too late,
will aid to keep the plants growing
and lessen the time for the wood to
mature. This is especially the case
where the trees are growing in good
rich soil, and good cultivation has
been given early in the season in
order to induce thrifty and vigorous
growth.
II the trees keep on making new
growth. the better plan is to remove
the mulch and not stir the soil. In
many cases this will check the growth
sufficiently to induce aproper harden
ing. Young trees are often severely
injured by freezing the new growth
of wood, often so severely that they
never fully recover from the effects,
and it is certainly advisable to avoid
this as much as possible.
After the ground freezes hard, the
mulch can be applied again in order
to prevent injury from thawing and
freezing. But early in the fall and
until the ground freezes hard, and
then again after settled weather in
the spring until early in the summer,
the mulch should be removed from
around the trees.

Charcoal For Stock.

Nearly all sick animals become so
by improper eating, in the first place.
Nine cases out of ten the digestion is
wrong. Charcoal is the most efficient
and rapid corrective. 1t will cure in
a majority of cases if properly admin
istered. An example of its use: The
hired man came in with the intelli-
gence that one of the finest cows was
very sick, and u kind neighbor pro-
posed the usual drugs and poisons.
The owner being i'll and unable to ex-
anime the COW, concluded that the
trouble came from overeating, and
ordered a teacup full of pulverized
charcoal, given in water. 1t was
mixed, placed in a junk-bottle the
head held upward, and the water
with its charcoal, poured downward.
In five minutes improvement was
visible, and in few hours the animal
was in the pasture quietly eating
grass.
Another instance of equal success
occurred with a young heifer which
became badly bloated by eating green
apples, after hard wind. The bloat
was so severe that the sides were al
most as hard as barrel The old
remedy, saleratus, was tried for the
purpose to put it down always caused
coughing, and it did little good. Half
a teacupful of fresh powdered char
coal was next given. In six hours all
appearance of the bloat had gone
and the heifer was we'll
