THE SONG THAT sILAS SUNG.

Neighbor Silas sung q song
Every day his whole life long,
Sung il gladly meath the cloud
That hung DER him like n shroud,
Or when sunbeams with their play
Cleaned and glorifed his way,
Like shower Of JOY outiung
Was the song that Silas sung:
Let the howlers howl.
And the scowlers scowl,
And the GROWERS growl.
And tho gruff gang goit;
But behind tho night
There's a plenty of light,
And everything all right
And / know II.
Like the battle drum TO me.
Was the song Of victory.
Like the flutes e1ultant strain
Mid the wounded and the slain,
Like the quick bloOd-stlrring NE
on the battle plain OF life
Far and free the echoes rung
OF the song that SilSs sung:
Let the howlers howl.
And the scOwlcrs scoWl,
And the GROWERS growl,.
And tho grun gang 90 10:
Bnt behind the night
There's a plenty OF light,
And everything is all night
And know 1t.
Silas' soul has taken Hight,
Passed in music through tho night,
Through the shadow chill and gray,
And gone singing on It's way;
But the quaint song that was his
Cheers the saddened silonces;
Still glad triumph notes are flung
From the song that Silas sung:
Let the howlers howl.
And the scowlers scOwl,
And the GROWERS grOwl.
And the gruff gang IL;
But behind the night
There's plenty Of light,
And everything is all right
And know it.

DESTROYING THEIR sToMAcHs.

A New York physician, whose nalne is not
given, says, through the New York Sun, that
many men, who think they are too busy to
cat lunch at midday, and therefore resort to
alcoholic drinks as n substitute, are doing
the worst possible for their stomachs; that
alcoholic stimulants are the worst thing in
the world for an empty stomach, finally
causing catarrh of the stomach, interfering
ing the ability to assimilate food When
men come to him in that condition he takes
away the whisky or other alcoholics at
once, and prescribes hot milk and vichy.
Where cold milk or solid food would be re-
jected by the enfeebled stomach, the hot
milk, with one-third vichy, will be retained,
reclaimed.

ETHER DRINKING IN IRELAND.

Casual mention has been made for a long
time past in statistical and other works on
Ireland of the prevalence of the ether-Grink-
ing habit in certain portions of Ulster, but
recently a special article in the London
Times on the subject has attacted great at
%tention. II seems that in the counties OF
Tyrone, Derry, Armagh, Monaghan and Fer
managh, with a total population of $50, 600,
there are some $4,000 people who actually
drink 1900 gallons of wife" an impure
form of ether, an abuse said to have origi-
mated years ago when Illicit stills were finally
suppressed and Father Mathews crusade
made whisky drinking d~isreputable.
The ravages of this habit are described as
comparable only with those of the use OF
opium among the lower classes of Chinese.
Insanity is largely on the increase in the dis
trict, and the death rate among the children
of e-theromaniacs is very heavy. In whole
communities like Draperstown and Cooks
town practically every adult is a victim TO
the habit. The drug used is called methy-
lated ether, being a compound Of ether and
m~ethylated spirits. Owing to the last, which
is admitted free OF duty for use in the arts
and sciences, the compound is extremely
cheap, so hat an impure ether mixture can
be made ten cents worth of which will make
a man wholly drunk.
A point about it is that recovery from the
inebTiation is remarkably rapid, so that a
man at a fair can be drunk and sober half q
dozen times in a day. Druggists, publicans
and travelling hawkers all sell it. When Par
lament reassembles urgent attention will bt
called to the evil and two projects will bS
advanced as remedies-one to reimpose the
the tax on m~ethylated spirits, the other t.
compel by law a mixture of naptha with all
preparations Of ether not absolutely devoted
to medicine or manufactures, a compound
which Won produce nausea, vomiting anC
headache.

And behold IL the plague be in the walls
of the house with hollow streakS greenish
or reddish, then the priest shall go out of the
house to the door Of the house and shut up
the house seven days. 80 And he shall,
cause the house to be scraped within ROUND
about and they shall pour out the dust that
they scrape off without the city into an I'M

This matter Of looking to the sanitary ma
ture Of wall coatings seems TO be considered
of much Importance of late. A supplement
TO the Michigan State Board of Health con-
dennis wall paper and kalsomine for walls,
and recommends Alabastine as being sani-
tary, pure, porous, permanent economical
md beautiful.
To each of the first five persons in every
city and town, who write the Alabastine
Company of Grand Rapids, Michigan, CIV
ing the chapter containing the above pass
age of scripture, will be sent an order on the
Alabastine dealer in the tow for a package
OF Alabastine, enough to cover fifty square
yards Of wall two coats, tinted or white.
To test a wall coating, take a small guam
tity Of it mix in equal quantity Of boiling
water, and if it does not set, when left in
the dish over night and finally form a stone
like cement, without shrinking, it is a kalso-
mine, and dependent upon glue TO hold it to
the wall, the feature so strongly objected to
by sanitarians.
Continuing this sanitary w~all-coating re-
form the Tribune offices have been nicely
decorated with Alabastine. The effect is
pleasing, and the rooms are very weet and

SCIENCE In AGR1cuLrunE.

In an address on the subject of agri-
culture in public schools, j. E. Bryant,
of Ontario, Canada, has said some things
that will be of general interest elsewhere.
Thus a knowledge of the nature and
composition of the soil is the foundation
on which all else is built, and the farmer
who has been taught to discern the
difference in soils scientifically, is the one
best equipped for his business. Plants
should be studied with their various
methods of feeding and sources of food.
How soils become exhausted, and how
this exhaustion may be made good again,
are vital questions, and bring up the
whole subject Of measures, both natural
and artificial.
1t is declared the sheerest nonsense to
say that a farmer can best obtain a suffi-
cient knowledge of these matters from
practical experience. Agriculture re-
manned at a standstill for a thousand
years until it began to be studied
scientifically. The whole doctrine of
scientific manuring is scarcely a half
century old yet, and it is safe to say that
the practice of agriculture has been more
than revolutionized within hat time.
Equally important with the treatment
of manures is the subject of tillage, which
naturally includes drainage. Although
the value of drainage in removing wafer
from wet and boggy lands is freely adj
mitted by most farmers, but few under
stand its value in improving the pro,
ductiveness of all soils in almost all
situations independently of the removal
of the water. To be fully understood
this requires a scientific presentation Of
the subject, which practice alone cannot
give.-NeU York World.

CALLED

Unless care is taken in the spring in
beginning the spring work with the
teams there is danger of getting the
shoulders CALLED or sore. Like many
other things, this will be found easier to
prevent than to cure. When it can be
done it will be a good plan to begin
working lightly at first and then gradu-
ally increase as the teams become accus-
toned to it.
1t is important that the collars and
names be well fitted. In very many cases
it is more because the collars and names
do not fit the shoulders properly than the
work that causes the sores. Every horse
that is to be worked during the spring
should have at least a collar properly
fitted. 1t would be still better to have
a set of harness fitted to each horse, but
a collar that is used on the one animal
alone will be a great improvement. Keep
the collars clean hy scraping or even
washing, if necessary, to keep clean. la

IMPROVING THE FLOCK.

One of the surest ways to ''run out" a
flock of good sheep is to follow the too
common custom of selling all the best
lambs. No matter how good the ewes
may be now, they will be past their prime
in a few years, and their value for breed
ing purposes, as well as for the produc-
ton of wool, will be greatly decreased.
in order to maintain, and if possible i'm
prove, the condition Of a flock, a few
of the best lambs should be raised each
year, and enough of the older or poorer
sheep should be sold to keep the flock
down to the desired number. -AmericdR

Syrup"

The majority Of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having nc business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do

are too small to be sect with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive Just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of

where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
