TENTH NATIONAL TEMPERANCE CONVENTION

TENTH NATIONAL TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.
The Ninth National Temperance Conven-
sion, held in Saratoga Springs, 1881, re-
quested and empowered the National Tenn
perance Society to call another convention
in the series, when, in their Judgment, the
exigences of the case should require.
The Board of Managers of the society,
believing the time has fully come for such a
convention, appointed the following COM
mittee to issue such a call.
We do, therefore, earnestly and cordially
invite all associations of ministers and
churches, all general assemblies and synods,
all general and annual conferences, classes,
p~resbyteries, and religious national or State
conventions, all national and State tenn
perance organizations, all woman's national
and State unions, Grand Divisions Sons Of
temperance, Grand Lodges Of Good Tenn
plars, Grand Temples of Honor and Tenn
perance, n other State Temperance bodies,
to sen delegates TO a national temperance
convention, to be held, commencing at ten
o'clock A. NJ, July Is, 1891, in the First
Methodist Church, Saratoga Springs, n. Y.
Each body to be entitled to send seven
delegates, of which the presiding officer and
secretary shall be two. In the Methodist
Episcopal Church, where the bishops sew
orally are presidents of a number Of con-
f%erences, this rule may not be binding. The
same variation Of this rule may apply to
other organizations similarly constituted.
LII Cuse any pTtsuJ beTy, dSSOclhllOn,
conference or organization, shall not
be in session after the issue of this call
and prior to the meeting Of the convention.
or shall fail to appoint delegates, the presid-
ing officer, or, in his absence or failure TO do
so, the secretary may appoint the same. All
delegates must have credentials duly signed
by one or both of the officers of their respec-
tive bodies. Vacancies in delegations may be
filled by theremaining~ delegates, 1t is pro-
posed that the convention shall be composed
entirely of delegates from delegative bodies,
and not from subordinate organizations.
Temperance matters have never had more
hearty recognition from all classes of society
than to-day. More than ever curse US, and
breathe out t~hreatenings against us, but more
also pray and work for US. Lines of opposi.
ton are more sharply drawn, and the mum
Der Of the indifferent is being steadily re
duced.
1t is therefore in the highest degree neces
sary that all friends Of temperance, forced by
new perils and new opportunities take coun'
sci together for a forward movement against
this special agent Of that vile trinity: the
world, the flesh, and the devil.
Arrangements have been made for a re
duction of fare on the principal railroads
and at the hotels, For particulars apply L

THEY DIED SoRER.

Apropre 1f General C~utcheon's remarks on
social d. ing in Washington, the general
was lcd /. tell the story Of an army exper-
fence Of his with whisky. 1t was in the
trenches before Petersburg. As colonel of
the regiment he haG prohibited the sale of
liquor save on q doctors order, and in that
case prohibition prohibited.
The division commander, however, issued
orders that a ration of whisky should be
served to each man in the trenches and the
liquor for the twentieth Michigan was
brought in two great iron kettles. AS the
men clustered around with their tin cups
some one cried out:
Boys, if Pm going to be shot to-day, /
want to die soberl'
The cry was taken up by the regiment
The kettles were seized by willing hands and
the vSisky was poured on the ground. Fifty
two out OF 10 Of the brave Michigan boys of
the twentieth were shot that day and every
one who died, died sober.-Detroit Ti

SEEDING VARIETIES OF FRUIT.

The dependence on nurseries rather
than on homegrown fruits diminishes
the chance for finding new and valuable
seeding varieties. Occasionally a graft
or bud fails, and the natural sprout tax
ing its place is supposed to be the i'm
proved variety until it gets into bearing.
Unless these instances are wrongly re-
ported, q larger proportion of Seeding
fruit has considerable more value than is
often thought. The proportion would
be still larger if seeds from only the best
of fruit grown in years favorable for its
highest excellence were used for raising
nursery stock. The plan of many nur-
serymen is, however, to get apple seeds
from the refuse of cider pomace, in which
only small and inferior fruit is used for
grinding. In this way they claim to get
more vigorous stocks, but it is at the ex-
pense of fruit. 1t is likely also that these
stocks when grated are longer in COM
ing into bearing than stocks raised from
cultivated fruit OF the highest quality
would be.-Bost0H CultiodtOr.

RICH ANn POOR MILK.

Anyone who has attended a dairy con
vention, or who carefully follows the
dairy literature of the day, must have
come to realize that milk testing is the
leading question before our dairymen.
The rank injustice of paying for milk or
dividing money between patrons on the
pounds delivered basis has been tolerated
only because it could not be avoided.
When the system of paying for milk
upon weight is new in a community, it
works fairly well for a short time, but
soon patrons learn 10 take advantage,
and the result is that as time goes on
more and more milk is required TO make
a pound of butter or cheese. OF course,
there are always a few who water or
skim; these are occasionally caught aud
fined OF expelled, but the difficulty docs
not end here, for there are other ways OF
getting ahead. The greatest trouble has
been through buying and breeding COWS
which produce the greatest number OF
pounds of milk without any regard what.
ever to the quality. Between the COWS
giving thin milk and the patrons who
skim or water, dairymen producing good
milk and factorymen have a hard time
of il. Factorymen have come to realize
that their best friends among the patron,
have been the poorest paid. Going from
bad 10 worse, matters have come 10 Z

system Is adopted, VIC must expect the
factory system to drag out o miserable

A PICTURE or "pAnxEsr NEW YoRK.o

A PIcTURE OF DARKEST NEW YORK"
In a recent official report on the ''prisons
and station houses of the city, DR.. A. S.
Daniel, physician in charge of the Isaac T.
Hopper Home for discharged women pris-
oners, referring to the untoward saloon in
luence, as u source of the abnormal increase
of crime, says: 1--WE have nine thousand
saloons, in parts of the city where they are
most harmful, the proprietors of which
openly violate at least two important laws
the open door on Sundays and the selling of
liquor to children under sixteen years of
~age-doing his at any hour of the day or
night. The cast side saloons are owned
chiefly by brcwers." The account which
DIR. Daniel gives of the condition of intoxi,
Gated women brought TO the various station
houses, dissolute and disorderly, to be under
the care and control of men only, is most
shocking in its details. The report says:
"Among the women we find old and young,
lying more or less drunk; many vicious. ali
hopeless; many, through no fault of their
own, out of work and unable to find it;
women with little children, and the young
servant girl out of n place, apply for a
nights lodging; and all are accommodated
until there is not even room on the floor to
sleep" Alas, for Darkest New Yorkr'

DURABILITY OF FENCE POSTS.

Locust posts are generally considered
the most durable; they have been known
to be sound after sixty years of service.
Split chestnut posts, from which the sap
wood has been hewn off, have remained
sound in a post and rail fence for over
forty years. Sassafras timber is CON
sidered as the next durable to locust, and
red cedar about the same. All timber is
improved in durability by seasoning, and
is better still if saturated with hot slack
ing lime. Posts are lined in this man
ner; A pit three feet deep is dug and six
inches of fresh lime is spread in the bot
tom; the posts are set on end close to-
gether and small lime is filed in between
them for one foot. Water is then poured
in to fill the pit. This slakes the lime,
which swells and fills the space between
the posts. The heat engendered drives
out the moisture from the timber, and as
the lime cools the posts absorb it. Thus
the albumen of the wood, which is the
part which causes decay, is hardened aud
made much less perishable. After steep
ing two or three weeks they are ready
for use. The bark should be peeled be-
fore the posts are lined. If posts are
set with broken stone and the lime from
the pit and the filling is well rammed in
the hole, they are made still more dur.
able, or the stone may quite as well be
left without any filling, but should be
well rammed.-NeW York Times.

TEMPERANCE


FATHER Is WITH US AT N1enTa
" Father is with us at night"
l once heard ayoung mar say,
" And oh how happy the evenings are
l think Of them all day.
No matter how hard / work,
IL gives me so much delight
To think in our cosy little home,
Father is with us at night.
" Dear mother, how pleased she is
She sets him the large armchair,
And then when around the table,
How much we enjoy the fare.
We eat Of our mothers bread,
And listen to fathers talk,
That sweetens the hours of all next day,
And brightens the homeward walk
Ali would, in this busy world,
That every brave lad could say,
As they pass to the store OF counting
room,
And join i'm their work each day,
That no matter o many cares,
Our home at least is bright;
For we have this thought to cheer us up,
Father is with us at night.

LAW TO SUPPRESS pRuxKENNEss.

Il is expected that a general law for the
suppression Of drunkenness will be enacted,
and put in force in all the states Of the Ger
man confederation before the year is ended.
A bill on the subject has been prepared by
the Prussian Government and has received
the approval of the Emperor, who from the
day he succeeded to the throne has persist
emily demanded some restriction upon the
sale Of intoxicating liquors, For nearly three
years his ministers have been engaged in
collecting statistics and evidence ON the points
concerned, and the decisions at last arrived
at have already been sanctioned by the bun
desrath. The bill DEGREES the withdrawal Of
saloon licenses and the imposition Of fines
upon saloonkeepers who encourage persons of
incorporate habits. The drunkards them
selves will be fined if they are poor so as to
prevent them from INDUCING in the vice OF
intemperance, and terms Of Imprisonment
arc 10 be imposed in cases where a monetary
fine would probably not have the desired Ell

Horse stable floors should be made

is kept in perpetual torment by sloping
floors. Knuckled horses W much of

material for memorial to the father Of

If you will go up to the top of the
hill, at the foot Of which are the fish
ponds, and will examine closely some Of
the stones of which the monument is
built, YOU will find their surface smooth,
with no visible trace OF the individual

mighty structure symbolical of eternity.
This is because the shells in the beds
from which the marble came were so

wise metamorphorosed as to be reduced
to a simple mass of lime. In many
marbles, however, you will discover the
shells quite visible, 50 that their very
form, preserved for goodness knows how
many centuries, lends beauty to the
polished rock. Few things can be more
interesting than to observe the trace OF
what was once a living organism in 0
formation which so evidently dates back
to an epoch long before the earliest
possible appearance of man upon the
globe
But the mere deposit of such shells did
not make marble. 1t required geologic
action to effect the transformation of
tae limestone into the material which
composes the Washington monument.
For instance, when, by the cooling of
the earth's crust, the latter was crumpled
up so as to form mountains, great heat
was developed and limestone beds in
places where such action took place went
through a process of crystallizaton by
the heat, thus forming what is known as
marble. Wherever traces of the original
shells which compose the limestone are
found they are called fossil shells. II
the monument contained such shells,
visible in their original shape, it would
be most interesting memorial OF the
world before the deluge, as well as of the
immortal George Washington Star.
