and slip on a strap to hold it up, let

a smart kicker even then would always

to one side of the COW in the stable.

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

ANOTHER State has wheeled into line
for the good of its children. Florida
has passed Scientific Temperance In
struction bill, which is to take effect
this fall.
A PROMINENT physician states that
out of 623 moderate and immoderate
drinkers with whom he has conversed
161 acquired the desire for wine and
other alcoholic poisons by their use in
articles of diet.
WHATEVER else you may or may not
do in this broiling weather. don't fret
and don't drink alcoholic beverages.
Quietude of mind and abstinence from
stimulants help greatly to make life
endurable in temperature of this sort
IN. Y. Mail and Express
PROF. BUNGE, of Switzerland, speak
ing Of moderate drinking, says: "The
voice OF conscience is smothered in
drink, and whenever a hint OF higher
joys may be given it is swept away in
the resistless current of appetite. This
pitiful loss soon makes itself manifest
outwardly-the thought life of man
is seen in his face. One has but to
glance at the great army of drinkers
to see how, little by little, the noble
traits of countenance disappear, and
only brutal expression remains. The
half OF mankind is thus destroyed
through so-called moderate drinking. ="
A REMARKABLE dinner was lately
given in Norwich, Eng, by we'll
known Temperance sheriff, George
White, to celebrate the wedding of his
daughter. Elegant invitations were
issued to LOO of the aged poor of the
city, and fully two-thirds of this num-
Der responded. The dinner was an
elaborate one and served in good style
by the principal citizens of the town.
The Oldest guest was ninety-six years
of age, and there were several over
ninety. True to his Temperance prin-
ciples, the only drinks furnished by
the sheriff were milk. lemonade and
coffee. Such thoughtful bounty is re.
freshing in these days of greed and
gain.
The Railway Age says: "The rail
ways of the United States constitute
one of the most effective temperance
organizations in existence. Practi
cally they encourage, and most of the
companies require, abstinence from in
toxicating liquors on the part of thei
10000 employees. A great and crafty
ing change in sentiment as well as il
practice on this subject has takel
place among railway officers and mel
within few years. 1t is compare
lively short time since to be railwa,
man was almost equivalent to being
drinking man, and the officer ant
employee who refused to drink wer
hardly considered adapted to theil
profession. All this is happil,
changed"

I'm making hay. farmers are apt
to become too much hurried with
drawing in, so that they do not give
the hay time enough to cure and
sweat; hence it becomes mow-burnt,
musty and discolored.
Old tin cans with very small
hole in the bottom, set near the stem
of the plant and filed with water is a
better way Of supplying water than
attempting to give by pouring water
around the plants when needed.
Tomato vines should be staked, or
tied up in some manner, in order to
prevent the limbs falling on the
ground and rotting the fruit. 1t is
best to arrange the stakes or other
supports while the vines are young.
The beginning OF owering is the
proper time to begin cutting clover, as
we'll as the grasses. Timothy be-
comes hard and woody much more
rapidly than orchard grass. 1t makes

An Excellent Plan.

The Temperance Education Society,
which has just been organized in Chi.
cago and Incorporated under the laws
of Illinois, is about ready to try its
first experiment in placing Temper
ance facts and statistics where the
masses OF the people not only may,
but must read them. The plan is to
print striking. but incontrovertible
figures aud statements concerning the
liquor traffic on large cards that will
be hung in every street-car in the
city, and changed so that each month
new set of statistics will be pre-
scented. Here are some of the state.
ments which we are now printing
for our presses help start the expert
ment:

We welcome any thing that will
agitate and educate The daily press
of the land is apparently in the
clutches Of the liquor traffic, and the
masses are inaccessible through it
We hope this society may become
National in its work and influence.
We see no reason why branches
should not be organized at once in
all the cities of the United States.

A BANKERS ROMANCE.
How August Belmont Won the Daughter
OF Commodore Perry.

OSAAAAAAVAVH0 0HEys
A romantic story is told about the
6rst meeting Of August Belmont with
the lady who is now his wife. As be-
came her brave blood, the daughter Of
Commodore Oliver Perry. 1.-The hero
Of Lake Erie" while still a bloom
ing Baltimore belle, had an intense
admiration for personal courage. It
was while on visit to some relatives
in this city that the active and sturdy
young German banker. who had at once
taken the place in metropolitan society
due the representative Of the powerful
house of Rothschild, became ievolved
in a famous duel. At the theater one
evening he was among Q group of
young men, and between the acts one
OF the party expressed his admiration
of the beauty of the ladies present in
the boxes, among them was Miss Perry.
A noted Georgia "fre-eater' standing
by, who was widely noted and avoided
as bully and dead shot. made some
remark rejecting upon the virtue of
women generally. There was silence
for moment when, yonng Belmont a
slight timid-looking fellow, to the dis
may of his companions, faced the bully
and said in distinct. deliberate tones:
1.-THE dog that could utter such senti-
ment insults the memory OF his own
mother and is unfit for the company Of
decent men," White with rage the
bully Kissed: you shall hear from me,
sir!" 1t was before the war, in the good
old times, and duel followed Of
course. Belmont's friends gave him ur
as dead man. But when the smoke
from the simultaneous fire of two pistols
had hardly cleared away it was found
that the bully had bullet through
his heart, and Belmont had ball il
his left leg below the knee. He became
the hero of the hour, and soon after hi
was able to get about he proposed tt
the beautiful Miss Perry and was &C
cepted. He afterwards confessed tina
it was her noble face that nerved hin
Co resent the imputation on her sex. T
this day he limps painfully, but hi
wife is proud of his Disagreement. :
