Mr.. j. N. Stearns, for SO many years the
Secretary of the National Temperance So
oiety, has just returned from a trip to Eu-
rope. and IN the August National Temper
ance Adrocate says:
while in England l took special pains
20 examine the workings of the coffee
house system" 1t is probably at Its best
in Liverpool. a ride of six miles along tie
mammoth docks reveals thousands of
worRmen exposed to the temptations of
the ever-open saloon. There are sixty.fye
coffee houses, established not as a philan-
thropic work, but as a business enterprise
by business men on business principles.
aIG yet started by men desiring thereby to
aid the workman and the cause of temper
ance. More than thirty thousand visit
these houses daily. The receipts amount
to $3.50, 600 a year, and they pay ten per
cent. dividend to the stockholders. The
Aerated Bread Company of London has
over sixty places where coffee, cocoa, tea
and the best of bread can be obtained from
one to two and three pence, which are kept
s~crupuloIsly neat and clean, and are the
resorts of tens of thousands daily. We
greatly enjoyed lunching in these places.
Then there are seventy of the sLochart
Cofee-houses," also, furnishing bread,
coffee, and tea at moderately low prices.
These are all on business principles and
paying good dividends"

Certain animals rave teeth which grow
during all their lives. The rat and the
squirrel are examples of this Our own
teeth are developed from pulps, which are
absorbed and disappear after the teeth are
grown, but In a rats tooth the pulp is per-
petual, and is constantly secreting mater
ial by which the incisor gains length.
Therefore the animal is obliged 10 gnaw
all the time to keep the tooth ground
down TO the proper length. 1t is common
ly imagined that the rats keep gnawing
from pure cussedness, but such is not the
case.

AT a meeting of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union of New York last week,
Mrs. Billiard, superintendent of the de-
partment of narcotics, said in her report:
Zone county superintendent has written
me and demanded that / recommend
work against the chewing gum habit. Six
million dollars, she told me, was expended
annually by the young women of New
York for chewing gum. Now, it seems
very hard to ask the yorng ladies to give
up this elegant and graceful habit, doesn't
it?" The young lady delegates laughed ner-
yously. But seriously, sisters, it is high
time we took hold of this matter when we
remember that opium is an ingredient in
many of the chewing gums on the market
to day. An ingredient. | say, in many OF
the gums ehewed by our girls

Many good housekeepers do not know
that the most delicious jelly can be made
of fruit skins and cores, such as are usually
thrown away There is more gelatinous
matter around the core ard skin of all fruit
than in any other part. The skin efpeaches
wiih a few pits added. boiled in as little
water as possible, strained and made up
with sugar, pint for pound, yields a most
delicious red jelly. A delightful jelly may
even be made of apple skins and cores,
though it is improved in favor and jellies
more easily if a small quantity of the cores
and skins Of ounces are added to it. A
very excellent jelly is made of grape skins
and ounce skins in about equal quantities.
Pear skins contain less gelatinous matter
than any other fruits, but if used in con-
nection with ounce skins will make q fair
jelly.

TIE BoaId of Health of this city last week
confiscated over 80, 900 pounds of grapes in
one day because there was copperas en-
their stems. Hasn't a man a right to eat
whatever be likes in this free country?
Didn't The Savior eat grapes? Didn't
Thomas Jefferson eat grapes? Have not
Tammany Hall and the Democratic party
just pronounced again against 's~sumpiuary
laws? Are grapes with a little copperas
on their stems any worse than gr~ape-juice
with that ''irritant poison" alcohol in it?
Is rot the Beard of Health making a dis

The Path Through the Glover.

The Path Through the Clover.
We strayed together where the path
Goes winding through the clover,
And cross the soft. sweet orchard grass
Where apple boughs hang over.
We watched the waving Of the hay.
All ready for the moving,
We saw the blueness Of the sky,
And felt the fresh winds blowing.
And to our light, free hearts the day
Wa glad as glad could be,
And nothing lacked of fair or bright
For Margaret nor me.
But at the brook our ways diverged,
Mine up the hillside leading,
And hers across the gentle slopes
Where peaceful focks were feeding.
In slight uncertainty we stood,
We thought not Of dividing,
While each the others doubling steps
Rebuked with playful Gliding.
In mood half vexed, half laughing. we
Could never quite agree
II l should cross the fields with her,
Or she its hills with me.
At last We took our separate ways,
Our hearts with anger burning;
Each longed to call the other back,
But scorned TO think of turning.
All me, had we but read Alright :
The omen clear before US,
We had less lightly held the faith
No future a restore US;
Nor sighed to think how better far
Fol both Of US 'twould be
II l had crossed the fields with her,
Or she its hills with me.

Do Your Own Painting.

VOU can get a half-pint can of sherwin
Williams ready-mixed liquid paint In
IA coIors or shades for bets, a pint for 29cts,
or more at less rates, a good brush for l0cts,
and find it not only o saving, but a pleasure
also. to brighten un such OF your furniture or
housekeeping utensils as need 1T. Nearly
every home must have about It some OF the
following articles which need painting:
Baby Carriage, Box or Bench, Tables.
Bucket or Barrel, Bird House, Cupboard,
Coal Box, Garden Tools, Hitching Post,
Old Furniture, Window Sash, Blinds,
Flower Stand, Wainscoating, Tubs,
Harrows, Plows, Pumps, Pals,
Chairs, Desk, Wagons, Etc.
The paint is the very best being mixed with
pure Ifnseed oil, is a quick dryer, and gives a
high gloss to all work it Is used on. The Sher-
win Williams Company make the highest
grade paint on the market to-day, (all other
dealers are willing to own to this). and while
the price on some OF their goods Is q trlne
more, the covering qualities are greater and
the lasting qualities much more permanent.
Our store at the corner is painted with 1t.
You can see what 1t looks like. We are pre-
pared to furnish it from a half-pint can TO
such quantities as might be required to paint
q town, at the manufacturers lowest rates.

From Oregon to Maine,
For fairer lass thar she beside

See! the earth through the infinite space goes
silently round and round,
And the moon moyeth on through the heavens,
and never maketh a sound;
And the wheels of eternity traverse their jour-

barren shore;
It's only the braggart thunders that rumble
and rage and roar.
Like q wave is the love that babbles. but silent
love loves eyermore.

A BELLE SPRINGS FAILURE.
BISHOP JESSE ENGLE ASSIGNS
FOR NEARLY $4,000.

The Creditors Are to Great Extent
Members of the River Brethren
Church-The Assets Probably
About Half the Liabilities-Too
Much Land the Cause.
Special to THE REFLECTOR.
BELLE SPRINGS, Jan. 17.-Consider-
able surprise was occasioned here this
morning when it was known that
Bishop Jesse Engle, of the River
Brethren church, had made an assign
ment. Bishop Engle has for years
been considered one of the wealthiest
farmers of South Dickinson and his
large farm was the admiration of all.
During the boom period, however, he
bought largely of the land surrounding
him and the impossibjlIty of meeting
payments forced him to the wall.
His assignment is made to Cyrus
Lenhart, prominent River Brother of
Newbern township. The list of credi-
tors is long one and the liabilities
foot up between S45, 900 and $50, 900.
The leading creditors are: John
Blocker, Buffalo, n. Y, Sl2, 900; Kate
Brennerman, Mechanicsburg, Pa, S.
600; Blackhind, Hart, Wiley & Co.,
Kansas City, S6,14I; Mccormack Ma
chine Co., Chicago, $500; NJ. V.
Brilliant, York, Pa, $1,000; Lambert
Golfer, Navarro, $4,000. There are
besides large number of smaller cred
itors in western Pennsylvania, Enter
prise and south Dickinson.
The assets include two sections of
land, the one on which Mr.. Engle lives
and section 2 in Ridge township. The
last was purchased few years ago but
is mortgaged for $4,000. The home
farm and personal property has incum-
brances amounting to $4,000. The
total assets will be it is thought about
$50, 900.
Bishop Engle has been one of the
most prominent River Brethren work
ers in the nation and has a wide &C
quaintance. His many friends will
sympathize with him in his difficulties.

exonerate McGrath and report they

conduct in that matter.

here declare that McGrath has come

is full and complete, as you will see by
the report of the committee.
Mr.. Prather was particularly earnest
in his denunciation of the disreputable
methods employed by the enemies Of
McGrath, and the chances are they will
be disciplined in a manner that will
make them wish they had never become
Alliance members.

The Farmers Thinking

Some farmer wrote to the Troy Chief
asking:
Have not farmers a right to think,
in political matters, as well as editors
OF lawyers"
And this is the answer to his query:
You are mighty right they have.
Ant when they think that is, when
they do their own thinking, a
large majority of them are level headed.
But when they allow somebody else to
think for them, as in the present cpl
demic, and that somebody else is
usually small-bore shyster, and allow
him to put them under oath, with
signs, grips and penalties, to act &C
cording to the way he thinks, that is
what is playing the mischief, and the
gig back will hurt the farmers worse
than anybody else."

OPERATING CREAMERIEs.
]. E. Nissley, of Abilene Addresses
the State Dairy Association.

In its excellent report of the meeting
of the State Dairy association meeting
at Topeka Saturday the Capital has
the following:
J, E. Nissley, Of Abilene, read a
most excellent paper on Creamery
Management" which was listened to
with marked attention. Mr.. Nissley
is one of the most successful creamery
men in Kansas, and is thoroughly
posted in every branch of the industry.
Among the many good things and
predictions mentioned in his paper, he
declared it his belief that the day is not
far distant when our friends east of
the Allegheny mountains will wake up
to the realization that Kansas is the
greatest dairy state in the union; that
the proper management of creameries
would bring about this result; that
they must make themselves known
and heard. He condemned the practice
Of creameries being managed by men
who had other occupations, declaring
it his belief that one-half of the cream
cry managers today are not fitted, are
not educated for the business. In
stead of trying to educate the masses
in this line, he cOntended that we
should bring our efforts in this direc-
ton to the few upon whom more d.
rectly devolves the management.
What we want are schools to educate
men for the practical working of
creameries, and to this end we should
ask the legislature to appropriate the
necessary means.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
President, General Morgan, Clay
Center; secretary, ]. L. Nissley, of
Abilene; assistant secretary, J. L.
Soule of the Kansas Farmer; treasurer,
J. D. Graham, of Manhattan.
