WHAT FOUR JupGrs SAY.

In Ireland Mr.. OShaughnessy. Chairman
OF Quarter Sessions, County Clare, said: ~

Sessions in several counties in Ireland. !
have perhaps presided at more criminal
trials than most men living. and l can truly
say that | have had scarcely case before
me with reference TO the class of offences
known as against the person, that was not
the consequence of drunkenness,n
Mr.. Justice Fitzgerald, at the Dublin
Assizes 1878, said; 'The crying and beset-
ting crime of intemperance is a crime lead
ing TO all other crimes; a crime which YOU
may very well say leads to nineteen-twen-
tieths of the crimes of the country"
The late Baron Dowse, in the same yenr
at the Wicklow Asszes said: IF our people
were more SOBER l think that crime would
almost entirely disappear from our midst. y
And in 1887, in the Public Commission
Court, "he found that drink was at the
bottom of almost every crime in Dublin.
Even in cases that had no apparent conuec-
tion with drink at all, if closely investigated
as he himself had done on many occasions
they would be found to have their origin in
drink
Lord Chief-Justice Coleridge stated in the
Supreme Court, in 1881, that Judges were
weary with calling attention to drink as the
principal cause of crime, but he could not re-
frain from saying that if they could make
England sober they would shut up nine
tenths of the prisons

A FOE TO PROSPERITY.

a Montreal priest, speaking recently, said;
From the standpoint OF theory alone we
may conclude that tho liquor trade must
necessarily provo tho foe Of the material
prosperity OF our city. But we do not need
to theorize. The teachings Of experience.
the testimony Of those who are engaged IN
relieving the poor, and the still stronger tes-
hmony of the innocent victims OF the drunk
ards crime all attest the truth Of what wo
now advance, that three-fourths OF the mis-
cry, poverty and want which our eyes daily
witness are due to the liquor traffic as car
ried on in our midst IL YOU doubt my word.
ask the members Of ST Vincent de Paurs
Society, the members Of every charitable
organization, whether Catholic or Protes-
tant to take our place as almoners of the
poor; visit the homes Of those whom we are
called upon to belp listen as we have to
listen to the cries Of the poor for food, cloth
ing, shelter, and to the sad tale of tho
drunkardS crime which has robbed mother
or wife of the support of once noble and iu-
dustrious, but now degraded, helpless, law
manhood, and you will agree with us that
only one class Of men derive profit from the
liquor trade, but at the terrible price Of not
hundred, but n thousand impoverished
homes; at the price Of not few irfdivid-
uals made forlorn and desol ite, but of fully
three-tourths of the many thousands who
are dependent on public charity.n

TEACHING HELPERS TO RE MLKEp.

TEACHING HELPERS TO BE MTLKED.
Teaching hcifer with her first calf TO
stand quietly and be MIXED depends very
much on the disposition aud previous
handling of the animal, but even more,
believe, writes a correspondent, on the
disposition and management of the
milker. The treatment should be firm,
but Of a gentle character, such as not to
excite her fears or resentment.
No domestic animal can be made gentle
or obedient by harsh words or brutal
punishment. For the first milblngs,
without making preparations in a way
to alarm her, il she is at all mild it will
be best to put her in position where
she will bc absolutely under control ard
cannot escape. No worse beginning can
be made than to let heifer at her first
milking kick the pail and run away. II
she persists in kicking tie her foot so
she cannot raise it. 1t is better to tic
COW and oontine her closely in stall
than to have somebody assist you and
attempt to hold her. Let her know from
the first that you are able to take care of
her without any one helping you, aud
that she cannot gain any victory over
you II she tries. She should, if possible,
always be MIXED by the same person
until she is at least thoroughly broken
TO being MIXED twice day, and she
will soon learn to accept her regular
milker as her master, and if rightly han
died at first will give little or no trouble
afterwards. s.--NeO York World.

MANURE roR PEACH TREES.

First all, the peach tree needs a rich
soil. THIS may be produced by using
baruyard manure literally. Ground
bone has been found an excellent fcrtil-
izer in many orchards, applied at the
rate Of twenty bushels per acre. Wood
ashes have given good results. Manure
for peach orchard cannot have q good
effect unless the soil is friablc. Some
experienced peach-growcrs say that
peach trees should never be set upon "A
soil that has been made suitable by uu-
derdraining. In other words, a peach
soil should be naturally well drained.
The peach cannot bear going with "wet
feet One Of the most troublesome
difficulties Of the peach Is the so.callcd
''ycllows." This yellowiug Of the foil
age is often due to the lack Of uourish-
ment in the soil, or because the soil is
too wet for the roots to take it np.
There is another kind Of yellow that is
contagious, and may infcst any orchard,
and manure cannot cure it. Digging up
the trees and burning them is the remedy.

THE "nousEKEErER's rRrrNp. I"

The "Housekeeper's Friend" Is new
device for the prevention of the mystic
rious evaporation of the contents of Ger.
tain bottles which form an integral part
of most domestic establishments. Tho
solution Of this hitherto apparently hope
less problem is embodied in the use OF a
bottle-locking apparatus of much sim
plicity. A circular band of metal closes
on a hinge around the neck of the bottle,
its ends, which project at right angles,
being provided with holes. Over these
a paddock hasp is placed, and when the
paddock is locked the cork deties any al =
temps of extraction short of picking the
lock, or breaking off the neck of the
bottle. 1t has been remarked that u
paddock keeps out only "honest thives,"
but 1t is precisely that class who abstract
glasses of wine or spirits or spoonfuls of
tea, and these can now be made secure.
1t has been suggested that this lock will
be specially serviceable to travellers. In
cases, too, where dangerous medicines
are being used sucn method of distiu-
gushing them and possibly preventing
their being administered indiscreetly
would seem a wise prcaaution. .-Nelc

LACE ouRrArNs-How TO LAUNDRY.

1hNi1 NOhAAiNS-IAOM III LAUNDRY
Many housekeepers who can but ill
afford the expense send their lace cur
tains to tho laundry to be done up for
the summer, from the mistaken idea that
they cannot be properly laundried at
home; yet if they would take the trouble
to oversee the work, they would be sur
prised to find how satisfactorily and
easily it may be done in their own kitch-
ems by an ordinary servant.
As soon as the curtains are taken down
they should be well shaken, to free them
from dust, and put in tepid water in
which little Pearllne has been dissolved,
and worked carefully with the hands
through several waters, but never
soaked, through a mistaken idea that
thev will wash more easily. When per.
fectly clean the curtains should be rinsed
through blue water, and then lay them
in starch water, or, better still, in thin
solution of gum-arabic, after which they
should be squeezed and not wrung. The
greater the speed in drying the work the
more satisfactory it will be, as lace
shrinks more than any other goods.
When ready to dry they should be fas-
tened in q pair of frames-quiltlng-
frames will answer-on which should be
arranged small hooks to fasten the lace
with. The curtains should be stretched
to their full length when put on the
frames, which can be set on chairs to
dry. If the frames are not convenient
pin clean sheets down over carpets, or
on clean carpet in vacant room, and
stretch and pin the curtains over, being
careful to smooth out and pin the edges
of the lace in proper shape. The cur
tains should dry in few hours, when
they may be taken from the frames
or sheets, gently shaken and hung up.
They Will require no ironing, and look
as dainty and fresh, from the expendi-
ture of few hours time and little
care on the part of the housekeeper, as
if done ct a professional laundry at
cost of several dollars Courier Journal.

Cultivators have found by experience
that a soil may be naturally rich in pot

organic structure is among the best OF
the fertilizers OF the soil. II is com

that the small fungi, which at times play
such destructive prauks among plants
and animals, are in the main among the
most beneficial Of the agencies of Proy-
dence in building up the world. Just
how they operate on this mineral qucs
tion is not known; but in connection
with the nitrogen which plants contain
a great deal is being learned. Plants

quiet, affairs to-day in the coke region
were decidedly interesting TO both sides
The operators made most determined
effort to start several OF their plants
with but doubtful successes. The strik-
ers on the other hand simply ignored
the works and up TO 4 late hour tonight
not an outbreak Of any kind had been
attempted, Notwithstanding the gener-
al alarm felt even at the unex-
pected lighting Of a match IN the
vicinity Of the plants seFefal compa-
nies have notifad the sheriff Of Fayette
county thy intend TO start up to-mor-
row or later in the week and that he
will be held responsible for all damage
II their works are not guarded
Many arrests have been made to-day,
among them being M. McDonough and
William Coleman, two prominent lead
ers Of the Morewood affair, who were
released on 81 900 bail. The military
companies are still stationed in Scott
dale and Mount Pleasant, having nothing
20 do. Their presence, however, is a
guarantee Of peace The real struggle
begun to-day requires their presence
and the only fear Is they may be needed
when the i.eitch, the Cochran and Leis-
enring and other former battle grounds
start up tomorrow as has been decided
by the operators. The men still hope
for compromise and are satisfied the
companies are making concessions az
ter the conference in Pittsburg.
General Manager Lynch Of the Prick
company has just issued a statement in
reply to the appeal Of Rev. Father
Lambing, who has great power over the
strikers. Mr.. Lynch says it is no long
er question OF wages but Of personal
liberty, rights OF property and the po-
tency OF the law. Regarding the gen
eral impression that an amicable con-
ference win settle the difficulty. the
general manager Of the Fric1 interests
says it will be time enough to
confer with the leaders Of the strikers,
when the military as he state cannot
enforce the law. This means fight to
a finish, no matter what the result, as
Mr.. Lynch is empowered TO voice not
only the sentiments OF the FricS people
and OF three-fourths Of the operators.
