FACTS IN A NUTSHELL.

The LutheranS in the Baltic provinces of
Russia have undertaken a vigorous cam
palgn against intemperanee, and have al
ready achieved notable success.
The Anglo Temperance Association is
making rapid advances in India. The OBJ
lect of the organization is to secure the
ultimate prohibition of the sale of liouor
throughout India.
1t is said that Mrs. George w Childs
confidently states that since the introduce
ton of foreign and native mineral waters
as table beverage the use Of wine has de-
creased one-half at dinner parties and en-
tertalnmentS.
Towns and cities receive annually from
liquor licenses about 81, 80. 900, while over
S27 ,000,0 900 is paid into saloons by the
people. For every dollar paid in for license
about twenty-o one dollars are paid out by
the people. The saloon antagonizeS all
good government and all educational in
tiuences.- Carroll D, Wright.
Since the establishment of the Vienna
free kitchens the number of drunkardS is
said to have greatly diminished. The
medical profession testify to enormous inn
provementS in the health of the lower
classes. arrangements of the stomach,
formerly the most frequent cases in Wen
ma hospitals, have decreased to one-third
of the number of ten years ago.
The drink consumed by the working
classes of the United States last year cost
Sl.2SO,0 900 900, nearly twice the banking
capital of the country, more than one
fourth the cost of all the mills and facto-
rieS, and considerably more than one-fourth
of the cost of all the railroads. Think of
it. Mr.. Powderly says: The rum habit
is the wage-earner's greatest enemy"
Who can doubt it?
A New Yorker just returned from Vir-

long immunity from them. Employees, "a
first extremely cautious, gradually become
inattentive through the lapse OF years
when they see no harm come. and posi-
tive carelessness followed. The frequent
and rapidly increasing use OF paris green
is likely to be followed by similar use
carelessness and by accident. Working
men mix the poison and breathe the rs
ing dust. They leave the vessels IN which
it Is mixed unclaimed. and afterward feed
domestic animals in them. Patches OF
potatoes are busted on the windward side
Of dwellings, and the wind carries the
dust to where it is breathed by women and
children. A cow pasture on the lee side
of potato field receives the poisonous dust
on the breeze Cattle break down weak
fence and feast on the poisoned potato
leaves All these accidents have occurred
IN greater or less degree.
But an additional danger now threatens.
The efficiency of arsenieal poison as remedy
for the codling worm is becoming widely
known. they are extensively used. and their
value in DESTROYING the curcuho has been
proved, at least partially. But the fruits
attacked by the curcuilo mores frequently
grow in the immediate vicinity OF small
and garden vegetables. Strawberries are
often planted Immediately under plum
trees, and other small fruits and vegetables
in near proximity. The poison Is not so
easily washed from the soft and rough sur
face of the strawberries and raspberrleS as
from smooth apples and glossy plums, and
some of them ripen nearly at the same time
as the spraying. 1t would hardly be suS-
pected that Intelligent persons could care
lessly make the mistake mere pointed out if
the mistake had not actually occurred, and i
is well at the present time to put owners on
their guard while fruit is gathered early
in summer by miscellaneous class of per
sons, and while working men do not always
take the trouble to think where they are
scattering poison.

Caution With Poison.

In the early years of the use of arsenicaI
poison for checking and destroying the
potato beetle, many persons felt great fear
that they too might share the fate of the
insects, and it was not unusua. 10 meet
with those who refused TO eat potatoes In
any form. They were not aware OF the
fact. whatever of arsenic was used. fell to
the ground and remained on the surface,
while the tubers were some inches beneath
and beyond Its reach; and they did not
know that paris green was insoluble by the
plant. Besides this security. there was
many times as much iron in all. or nearly
all. soils as would neutralize the minute
quantity of arsenic applied: while through
out the country at large, millions of per
sons partook daily of what regarded as
poisoned potatues without the slightest
harm.
But long escape from DANCE. makes
many persons careless. We ste the effects
of this carelessness on our railroads on
which frequent accidents now occur after

A LEGEND.

There has come to my mind legend, q thing

And whether read il or dreamed il, an well, il
matters not.
1t is said that in heaven at twilight, a great bell
softly swings,
And man may listen and harken to the wonderful
music that rings,
If he put from his hearts inner chamber all the
passion, pain and strife,
Hearthache and weary longing throb in the pulses
of life
If he thrust from his soul all hatred all thoughts
OF wicked things,
He can hear in the holy twilight, how the bells of
the angels rings.
And think there is in this legend, if we open our
eyes to see,
Somewhat of an inner meaning, my friend, to you
and me.
Let Us look in our hearts and question. can pure
thoughts enter in

So then, let ponder little; let Us look in our

grief Of the child and Of the grandparents.

preme court holds that the federal dis
trict court in this case had no jurisdiction.
and that the attempt to enforce its judg-
ment by attachment and Imprisonment
of BurruS for contempt of the order of that
court is equally void. 1t was therefore
ruled that the prisoner is entitled to his
discharge
Among Others taking a deep interest in
this case were large number of children
