THE ECONOMIC ASPECT.
 From the internal revenue statistics of the year 1883 it is shown that S945, 100000 (nine hundred and forty-fve million dol lars) was spent that year for alcoholic drinks, consisting of beer, wine, whiskey, gin, rum, etc. This astounding drink bill has been growing at the rate of $70,- 000,000 year; thus $620, 100000 for 1879; $733, 100000 for 1880; $S0O000000 for 1881; S675, 100000 for 1882; $945, 100000 for 1883, and there is ample evidence be- fore our eyes that it is increasing now as fast as ever.
 In round numbers then, let us say the liquor bill of the United States is every year S900,000,000 (nine hundred million dollars).
 Put the liquor bill for the country into the U. s. treasury and all forms of taxes might immediately be abolished, and all public works might be doubled with, la Dor enough to give every idle man in the country employment for three hundred days in the year, and double the appro- priations might be made for all education al purposes.
 Or let us look sat it in this way. We have in round numbers ten million fami- lies in the United States. If we divide the saloon bill among those ten million families we have tax upon each of $90. Now, if we add the indirect cost of the saloon, such as loss of time, drunken sprees, doctors bills, numerous accidents, etc., etc, according to low estimates we have tax upon each family of $180.
 It is safe to say that not more than half the families of the United States are patrons of the saloon. Therefore this bill of expense must fall upon five mil lion families instead of ten million fami- lies The result is that the rum power exacts tax of $360 from every one of the five million families, or SIP upon every member of the said families. These figures explain the poverty, suffering and want of all the poor in the land.
 What mockery to pray every day, Head us not into temptation" while we make the saloon a great department oi our government and organize temptation the most terrible, in every neighborhood as trap for the weak and unwary. Oul i cheeks burn and our ears jingle with shame as we think of it.-Exchange, l The greatest enemies in our midst and the most dangerous to our young mer and young women, are intoxicating Gouors and the dissertation of the Sabbath, com bined with vile resorts and sinful pleas ures, from which scores of our young peo pie graduate into moral and physica Wrecks.
 Alcoholic liquors are the standing dread 1 of every good mother, the constant feal of every thoughtful father and the horro of every wife; destroying peace and hap piness.

wild Rice.

1t is now the season Tor the Wlid
rice (zizania) TO be in seed. Though
not abundant in Florida, it is to
be found 10 many localities along
the marshy banks of creeks. In
general appearance it resembles
Indian corn. The seeds are borne
on the lower branches of the 'tas.
sci" and fall off very readily. The
following particulars in regard to
this interesting grass are taken from
the Western World:
"One of the indigenous grasses oil
which from time immemorial furnish
