SUICIDE AND RELIGION.

BLAINE, July 10, 1850.
To THE EDITOR: II believe the great
underlying cause of suicide is atheism.
There is no sin SO dire, so dark as unbelief.

GER of June 30th. will endeavor in this
reply 10 show that salvation is not the only
hope. We know. without ex PLANTATION, that
suicides are caused mainly By drink, and
not atheism or religion. Ii you investigate
you will find that in Seattle this was proven.

have this one hope would be stronger in
Their hope than those who have the hope

1t may be possible that ali. mistaken in
the above. For il might be possible that
those who have the hope of salvation. have,
in their eagerness, lost all sight of this
world and think not of their family re-

believe this to be SO ?
Believe that we, enlightened as we are

of than dog; when mans family relation
was likened unto brute--to satisfy mans
passion bis only desire. And what has
wrought this change? Has the Bible done
it?
Read Ruth. Hosea. and Solomons Song.
Read them to yourselves for they are not
pleasant. Can such reading do young

A Stitch In Time.

The good old proverb, "a stitch In timl
saves nine," applies to the farm and tn,
farmer even more than to affairs In general
because everything under the farmers carr
is In continual process OF change. Many {,

old without securing competence, because O.
the neglected very little things-the want OF {
mere stitch or touch placed in time. A f1elt
lies in risk Of being washed by heavy rain; Of

for breachy cattle to devastate crop; Of
the crop carried through to harvest, Il

cannot tell their wants or needs, often suffer
bitterly. Yet the owner may be an estimabl'
man, an excellent citizen, and hard worker

fault in himself that habit has inveterated-
he accustoms his children to the daily prae

and everything in its place." "a time fol

Bran and Potatoes.

One hundred pounds Of potatoes worth 40
cents contain one pound protein and 1876
pounds OF carbohydrates. One hundred
pounds OF wheat bran worth 60 cents contain
LAG pounds OF protein and At pounds Of car
bohydrates and fat.
It is quite evident, saysP Professor Henry IN
Hoerd's Dairyman, that the bran Is fal
cheaper than the potatoes for feeding pur
poses at the prices named, and II farmer
can get rs cents per bushel for the potatoe,
he can afford to haul them some distance tt
exchange for bran at such prices. The pota
toes would require cooking If fed to COWS
Professor Henry believes, however, that If ont
should feed potatoes to stock he will get rath
er better results than would be indicated by Z
chemical analysis. Animals require variety

and the farmer who feeds nothing but hay
,and bran, or cornstalks and bran all winter
long, will find that for time his COWS vii
show remarkable results from any new kint
Of palatable food they may receive.
The actual feeding value OF an apple Of

DR.. Mendal, noted nerve specialist
of Berlin, in pursuit Of the origin of q
certain form of nervous disease, has
hunted down form of inebriety, not
before recognized. He terms it 'cof-
fee .inebriety." and says it is rapidly
increasing in this country, especially
among working women. He has
found large numbers of them who
consume more than pound each eV-
cry week. The effect is manifested in
frequent headache insomnia, great
depression of spirits, trembling of the
extremities, irregular action of the
heart with all the accompanying dis
tress. The symptoms constantly grow
worse and are relieved by increasing
quantities of coffee; sometimes the
tincture is used. Dyspepsia in aggra-
waited form ia usually present, as well
as blotches and pimpIes on the skin.
A bruise or slight injury proves the
starting point of inflammation, erysip-
elatous in character. Melancholy and
fear of death accompany this form of
inebriety in all cases.

1--WE need" said q member Of the wine
company, "15O,000 pounds Of Virginia Seed
Ding grapes at the least for that kind Of wine
This year to avoid shortage. 1t will be two
weeks, though, before it can be told just
how many there will be. Our. plan is this:
In the spring we invite oil the grape growers
In the country to send an estimate Of the
quantity they can let US have at prevailing
wholesale prices. From this we get fair
Idea of what we can depend on. When the
,rop is gathered, If it runs below what we
need, then we have to buy outside the state"
The company's vineyards have an eastern
exposure, considered the very best in grant
ing shelter from the rigorous northwest
winds. In the section set apart for the Vir-
ginia Seedlings the figures Of men, women
and children could be seen busily engaged.
They were gathering the crop. The punches
are cut from the branches either with q
knife or scissors, thrown in baskets that
when full are emptied into small casks, that
are In turn carried to the mill, where the
contents are ground and pressed. All tho
children of Hermann so disposed are welcome
to take hand in tho harvesting. They are
paid 50 cents q day, and allowed to eat all
the grapes theywish. They work in couples,
one on each side Of row, and the rapidity
which they acquire by practice is astonishing
to the inexperienced. Not false move is
made. Snip, snip, 60 the scissors in the
right hand, the left catching the bunch as it
falls and dropping it carefully in the basket.
The vines were nearly denuded OF leaves,
and the grapes hung SO thickly that in many
places they looked few yards away like
wide bands Of solid black. The Virginia
Seeding is small grape about the size OF
the Delaware. and is so dark in color as to be-
apparently black. The flavor is rich and
we'll defined. The wine is marked by q de-
licious bouquet not found many other OF ma
tive make, and, possessing an excess Of tam
min and iron, is in high favor for medicinal
uses.

AN ODoRoUs ORDER.-Mr. Petru-

cannot he controvertcd: that "the dog
ma of infallibility cannot be based on
facts" In his historical research, he

and .ninety-one, including the present
pope, who have been known as popes.
Of this number thirty-one were usur.

seventy-nine have met with violent
deaths, ten by poison, four by assassi-

means. Stephen VI was strangled.
Thirteen others came to an untimely

CHANGE AND MoNnruSY.-While
some will never submit to any monot-
ony, but live in continual rush OF
changes, thereby destroying the power
for good of any change, others are so
concentrated in their thoughts and
feelings that they find it impossible to
direct them into an unaccustomed
channel when the proper time comes.
They have by constant habit become
so welded to monotony that they have
lost the power to appreciate the natu-
raj and legitimate delights of change.
Wherever they go they carry their
burdens and cares with them. In the
midst of all Natures charms they
have neither eye for her beauties nor
ear for her harmonies; they ara living
over aud over again their business de-
tails, regretting past mistakes, making
new plans-living, in fact, the same
monotonous life that they did all the
proceeding months. Their vacation is
merely hyphen---nothing itself, and
only used to connect what has been
with what will be
