CURES FOR DRUNKEN NESS.

About the most deceiving advertisements
in the daily or weekly papers are those an
nouncing sure cures for drunkenness. Mono
of these "sure cures ever cure. The only
one that might have cured was n fraud. The
advertiser told the people who wanted to be
cured or cure others to send him ten cents
and he would send it. His cure was a card
with the inscription Don't Drink" Anoth-
er cure was much talked of for time, but
the medicine was so costly that it was al
most impossible to make it substitute for
liquor As a young man said who tried it:
IF had enough money TO buy that Cure,
don't think I'd want to stop drinking"
Another drunkenness specific tried by a bibu-
Ious St. Louisan was described by him as a
fiat failure. 'Why, the stuff tasted so bad

OUTSIDE ROWS IN ORCHARDS.

The value of sunlight and Of free cir
cnlatioa of air is fully recognized by en-
perienCcd orchard.sts, and trees arc now
planted farther apart than ever before.
The fact that "outsidc rows in or
chards bear the finest fruit has been
seized upon in certain sections, and
planters set their trees so that every row
shall bc an "outside row." This is done
by planting two rows moderately close
together, and then leaving a space of
about sixty feet between the second and
third rows-in case of the apple orchard.

SUGGESTIONS ON PEAn-GRowING.

One Of the great edible luxuries of life
is supply of tirstratc pears properly

duces to good health, than which nothing

employment and profit. single tree

than halfacrc Of grain.
But to get bearing orchard of choice
pears requires time, good Judgment and
skillful treatment There is no great
amount Of hard labor required, after the
ground has been properly prepared and
the trees planted, but the right thing
must he done at the right time; hen when
the bearing time comes, there is a ''snap

In preparing pear orchard. we would
be particular in having tho ground thor
OuGhly subsoilpd az deem the hnlos in
which the trees are to be set, SO there
would be no basins under the trce-roots
for holding water; and we would set
standards only half rs far apart say
about fifteen feet--as would be proper foI
standard orchard trees when in bearing
and then would put dwarfs between
these.
The object of this plan is to get pears

The "Toilers of the Deep"


Dr.. Witherspoon's discourse at the
Methodist church last Sunday night
was happy exposition of Divine truth
as it relates to the consecrated conf
merce Of the sea.
His remarks were based upon the
call of the Master, by the sea of Galilee,
to Peter and Andrew, and James and
John to follow Him that they might
be "tishers Of men," and to the c;l,Isal
declaration recorded in Isaiah 60: 5,
Because the abundance of the sea
shall be converted unto thee, the forces
of the Gentilcs shall come unto thee"
DIR. Witherspoon emphasized the
fact that these fishermen sailors, as
they were respectively called, "forth-
with" and Immediately" left thei?
work and obeyed the summons.
He spoke of the practicability Of seek
ing the conversion of the three mil
lions Of mariners who carry commerce
among the nations and to the islands
of the sea, for they likewise carry civili-
Zation and Christianity, and are 4 pow
er for good or evil.
The implicit and prompt obedience
Of the rugged, heroic fishermen apos-
ties was contrasted with the possible
delay Of the polite counsellor Nicode-
mus and tile exemplary and affluent
Joseph of -Arimathea, had they been
directly called to work. The uncompro-
missing and earnest spirit of these men
who Ego down to the sea in Ships" is
always conspicuous in the lives Of these
men when they accept the Truth. The
Pauline faith possesses them in an en-
inent degree. So much so that they in
fuse new life in the churches whittier
they go.
DR.. WithcrSpoon has charge of the
Seamen's Bethel in New Orleans, and
is doing 4 glorious work among these
sea-faring men Of many nationalities.
They find i hearty welcome at the
chapel and home, where there are
many convcniences and comforts. In
the lecture room every Monday night
arc what Mr.. Witherspoon pleasantly
calls "Bethel commandments" They
are so very entertaining.
| The pastor of the Seamen's Bethel
is in full sympathy with the various
churches of New Orleans. His work
has enlisted their sympathy. He is a

full of naturalness and good humor,
