THE PROBLEM or INrEMpERANcE,

Intemperance is a vice of human nature
While the liquor traffic encourages and in
creases the vicious tendency of men and
women, the vice is back of and more firmly
rooted and difficult of destruction than the
traffic.
The aim OF the true temperance reformer
is to lift men TO higher manhood, TO a self
controlling spirit. The resources to effect
this end are various and ample. The order
and method of their application requires the
highest wisdom and skill. 1t requires the
wisdom that cometh down from above.
For these reasons we have no specific to Of
fer. The solution of the problem of intem-
perance must be by tue act of God, who has
solved other problems of humanity, and who
will solve this. He will do it through the
people because it must be done in the people.
The manner and time of His leading us out
of Egypt do not yet appear.
To the human side of the question the peo-
pie must address themselves The question
must not be dismissed from the public mind
or thrown Off the public conscience and
heart. 1t must continue TO be talked about
in private ant public, and discussed in the
periodical and ON the platform and in the
pulpit But more light must be prayed for.
A universal concordant waiting upon God
will unity the people and prepare them for
action. His providence will point out the
path of duty From all envy and strife,
from all clamor AMI evil speaking, from all
undue reliance on men and measures, let US
come back TO God. American Temperance

Mv.torv Of n wreck.

The old wreck recently discovered by
the diving class of the torpedo station at
Newport, r. l., promises to become an
especial object Of interest. II lies COM
pleteiy buried in mud and stone on the
west side Of the torpedo station, within a
couple Of hundred feet of the island.
Diver Felies has done some excellent
work already in sending up two ancient
carronades completely carbonized. With
careful handling, Tuesday, the first was
found stamped with q cross above the
letter GA" and under the letter the
figures 2, 90. The second cannon
showed the letter zap" above the number
21, 26. The bell of the vessel was dis
covered, and while still under water
ascending to the surface was observed to
be quite bright. But the instant it
struck the air It turned quite black.
The piece containing the name is missing
yet. The diver says the stern is very
high, and she is in a galleon. Some of
her stern timbers were brought up and
landed. The timbers were nearly two
feet thick. Three solid two-inch cannon
balls have been dug out Of her starboard
timbers. Not sign of iron or nails is
to be found, though there are the holes
where they have been. The diver de-
scribes her as looking just like house
after it had fallen down. He has worked
his way into the magazine, which is
sheathed with lead Some of this lead
has been hauled up, and is in perfect
condition in every way. He has also
come across number of barrels, the
upper half of which is completely eaten
away, but the remainder seems to be
solid, whatever is in them. When the
mud in and around the old wreck is
blown away, interesting information is
looked for by the officers and men who
are working like beavers to unravel the
mystery. Careful study estimates that
.he big wreck must have lain there at
east 175 years.-BestoR Transcript.

such as phosphoric acid, potash aud
lime, are derived solely and entirely from
the soil. Nitrogen, on the other hand,
may be taken into the plant from the
air or from the soil, and nitrogen is the
most valuable constituent of manures,
and by far the costliest ingredient OF
commercial fertilizers. II now seems
certain, from experiments and analyses
made both in Europe and this country,
that many Of the so called legumes, es-
pecially the clovers and peas, have the
power OF gathering part of their nitro
gen in the form of protein.
The protein compounds form blood,
muscle, tendon, bones and other nitro
genous tissues. This makes plants of
this class especially valuable as folders
in supplying the protein in which many
Of our most common fodder plants are
lacking. When they are plowed under,
or are fed to stock and the manure is
returned to the ground, they also supply
the nitrogen which other crops-such as
wheat, rye, oats, grapes and root crops
arc unable to acquire for themselves,
except through the medium of the soil.
1t has thus become quite generally under
stood among farmers that, whether cul-
tivation for the sake of their own prod
ucts may be profitable or not, there are
but few soils where they can be ignored
in the rotation of crops without leading
eventually to improvement.-Neo York.

A uninna Clock.

One OF tho attractions OF the beauti-
full Monte PinoIo gardens, at Rome, Is a
really unique clock, which is usually an
object Of interest to groups OF passersby,
who stop to minutely inspect 1t. A gen.
eral view and description Of this curious
and artistic piece of mech anlsm is given
as follows by the Horolo0icdl ReUie'o'
The very charming case Is composed
of three branches in rustic work. 1t
stands upon square stone block, sur
rounded on its four sides by beautiful leaf
plants, ivy aud grasses. The stone foot
stands within a water basin. The upper
part of the case contains dial covered
with glass on each of its four sides. Upon
the cupola stands staff which carries
the two bells for the full hour and quar-
tiers. At its upper end is small vape
in the shape of battle AK.
The frame for the wheel and levers OF
the striking work, in which a small cen
trifugal pendulum takes the place OF the
fly, is close underneath the dial. AT the
back of the clock frame oscilates the
second pendulum, and before this IS To-
Gated n mass of rustic work, similar to a
large coral growth, from which issue
small jets of water at regular intervals.
Two of the uppermost coral branches are
water conduit pipes, from which empties
alternately, at each swing of the pendn-
lum, small! quantity of water into two
leailike spoons underneath, imparting tt
them an up aud down motion. The pc
culiar motive power furnished by th'
water keeps the clock in motion, by
very remarkable escapement, so that !
never requires winding. THE construc
tion of the clock is due to a monk, as
the case with so many old pieces of ar
work.

KEEPING COWS 1NnooRs.

Z. w. Stewart answers au inquiry in
the Country Gentleman as to the advisa-
bility of feeding COWS continuously in
stable, as follows: "The dairy COW re-
quires less exercise, perhaps, than any
other farm animal Exercise is opposed
to the secretion of milk, and the dairy
COW, if in light, well ventilated stable,
can keep healthy with only an occasional
airing in the open yard. We have known
herds perfectly healthy without being
turned out of the stable during the win
ter season. Dairy cows will do better,
and give more milk on the same food,
-shen never turned out except for an
hour or so on pleasant day. They
should be watered when they stand in
stable. When fed constantly in stable,
great care should be taken to give food
in the most digestible form, and special
attention should be given to its being
palatable."

One of the queerest in cidents of the
recent electrical storm is reported from
South Windham, where lightning struck
The barn of Louis J. Bracket, knocking
put one end and setting it on fire. In
stead of going to earth the fluid followed
the service pipe supplying the building
with water and entered the main pipe
running to Portland, making large
hole in it. The heavy pressure sent the
water over the ridge pole of the build
ing, extinguished the fire, and then
plowed up the field and began to under
mine the building. Luckily the second
main pipe alongside the one injured was
not damaged, and by manipulating few
gates it was changed over to fill the high
service, and few Portland water takers
knew that their supply had been in
danger.-Le,ciston (Me.) journal.

INSECTS INJURIOUS TO CLOVER.

The Ohio Station describes three in
seets which do considerable damage to
clover: 1. The clover root borer is a
small brownish- black, minutely spotted
beetle which deposits its eggs during
spring in the crown of the clover plant.
These hatch, and the larvae burrow
downward through the larger roots of
the plants, doing serious injury. The
remedy is frequent rotation of crops,
thus not allowing the clover fields to
stand until they become breeding places
for the insects.
\. 2. The clover-seed midge is a small
orange colored mag got that develops in
the clover head at the expense of the
seed. Fields infected by this insect are
at once distinguished by the unnatural
condition of the heads at the time of
blossoming. The best preventive is
moving the field as soon as the presence
of the insect is observed and before the
seed has reached maturity.
3. Clover hay that has been standing
in the NOW or stack for some time is
liable to become infested by small brown
worms which web the dried stems and
leaves together and feed upon them. This
is most likely to occur when old hay is
left over from season to season for then
to breed in, consequently the mows should
be thoroughly cleaned out each summe
and new stacks should not be put on OLE
foundations until all the leavings of tn,
previous season are removed. Ha.
which is infested with the worms shoulC
be burned.

1NrEMpERANcE AND CRIME.

The saloon brings dire disaster to the
whole social fabric. IL loads down our GRIM
inal calendar. We are living in fortunate
period of time; the country is at peacs with
foreign nations; there is no civil strife
within its borders; no agrarian war; no con-
flict of classes has occurred. Yet our 1ails
and work-houses are crowded, our criminal
courts are never void of culprits our police
forces, though large, are too small for the
work allotted to them. What is the cause?
answer: Alcohol. Intemperauce is not the
sole crime of the day, nor is it the sole cause
of other crimes which men commit. Butas
Chief Justice Noah Chase, OF New Hork,
says: "Among all the causes of crime In
temperance stands out the uhapproachable
chief.n In addition to specific rum crimes
alcohol begets numberless Others, inasmuch
as it awakens the lower appetites, and breaks
down all moral barriers. 1t is the fruitful
feeder of immortality, theft, rapine, mur Ter.

A Drunken Cow.

Some days ago one of our countrymeu,
who lives at Pasadena, was astonished to
see one of his best cows lying apparently
dying in front of the barn. The animal
lay there inert, with open eyes, oblivious
of everything. The man called veter-
mary surgeon, who could not diagnose
the case, and butcher was sent for to
bleed the animal. He was some time in
coming, and when he did come the COW
was found eating at haystack, but with
legs a little uncertain. An investiga-
ton followed, and it was found that the
COW had eaten copiously of the refuse at
a neighboring winery. This stuff, com
posed of grape skins and stems, had fer
mented and induce a state OF intoxics>

To Obviate Trolley Poles.

If the invention of DIR. Bates, OF this
city, stands the test of experiment, the
entire electric railway system of over
head wires and poles will soon be super
seeded by a simple conduit bolted to the
centre of the track. Some such inven-
tion is greatly needed. The overhead
maze of wire is a constant source of de-
lay aud danger. The place for all cleo
tric wires, whether for railways, tele-
graphs OF telephones, is underground, or,
properly insulated and protected In con-
duits, as proposed by DR.. Bates.
The main difficulty 10 be apprehend-
ed with the new invention is with snow
and ice in winter. The slot which adj
mits the trolley arm from the car into
the conduit is protected from rain aud
dust by steel strip which acts with q
spring, If this strip and spring can pro
| tect the slot alike from rain aud dust il
summer, and from snow and ice in win
ter, the invention may prove to be one OF
the most important in years. Presiden
Lowry deems the invention to posses
considerable merit, and will undoubted

The moultiug process is one that debili
tates and prevents hens from laying. Many
farmers and poultry-ralsers at this season
kill off their old hens, because they think
they have stopped laying and are fat. This
is great mistake; the proper material
should be furnished them with their food to
supply the increased demand for nitrogen
and phosphates. Mr. John X. Jones, OF Suf.

FORM OF ROBBERY.

The Toledo Blade, referring to the saloon,
says.
1T is clear that the saloon is a form of
robbery. 1t robs the family of its victims
of the necessaries and comforts the money
wasted in rum would buy, and it robs every
legitimate business in the city of the money
that would be paid for them. The saloon is
the worst enemy of the business of any city.
Consider how much money a saloon must
take in daily, and multiply it by the number
of saloons in the city, multiply this in turn
by the 365 days in the year, and you will
have before you the sum wasted in your own
town or city through rum traffic. And it is
to be remembered that the saloons prevent
the earning of nearly as much money by de-
stroying the capacity for work. The drunk
ard cannot do as good n days work as a so
Der man, AMI he loses the time spent in his
debauches and in the inevitable SOLDERING"
process. As he goes ON, and becomes more
and more the slave of rum, he becomes more
and more incapable of steady labor, until he
will not work at all except when he can in
no other way obtain the rum to satisfy his
cravings.
