States had increased from 100000 bar
rels in 1878 to 100000 barrels in 1891.
He believed this increase was mainly
due to an increased popularity of fer
mented malt and hop drinks among the
great majority Of moderate drinkers. In
congratulatory vein he enumerated to
his hearers long list of states where
prohibition had been attempted, Or dis
carded after trial, drawing the conclusion
that prohibition is ''less dangerous now
than ever before.'' tits quite evident
that the chief of the New England
brewers believes that prohibition de-
creases the consumption of beer, al
though if prohibitionist should say
that the brewers would probably be slow
to admit it.

Wealthy Jews of New York are en-
deavoring to enlist the sympathies of the
Pope in behalf of the Jews. Unfortu-
nately, the countries where the Jews are
worst prosecuted are those in which
the Pope has least influence. In Russia
the Greek Church is predominant; and
Germany, where there is a strong anti
Semitic feeling, is largely a Protestant
nation. The Pope, however, is said to
be well disposed personally.

| The Rev. Dr.. Rainsford of New York,
has conceived new scheme for the ref
ormation Of New York. 1t is no less than
the establishment of respectable beer sa-
looms in which nothing but light wines or
beer shall be sold, under the auspices of
| the church or of men connected with the
church. His idea is that the beer saloon
can be run on high moral plane, as in
Germany. He would Danish whisky and
other hard drinks, and sell only beer,
light wines. coffee, etc., at low prices,
and would provide billiard rooms and
bowling alleys and reading rooms, and
Keep the saloon open on Sundays with
In proper hours" He thinks that there
is money as well as morality in the
scheme, and hopes ''that Christian BUSH
ness men may be induced to enter the
held, DR.. Rainsford says: .sBusiness
men connected with the church could
run such saloons and could do it at a
profit, ! only wish that had the money
with which to demonstrate that this is
the only way to deal successfully with
this evil, Eliminate strong spirits make
the places bright, beautiful, attractive
and moral, provide all sorts of innocent
games and reading matter, sell only the
best and pnrest beers and wines, and
charge moderate prices for everything
The tendency of public sentiment
has for half century been to
regard liquor selling as disrepu-
table, and this tendency has been con-
stantly on the increase Mr.. Rainsford
wants to change this, and restore the
liquor business to it's old standing of
comparative respectability by placing it
in the hands of business men connected
with the church. The number of bust
ness men connected with the church or
not connected with it who will agree
with Mr.. Rainsford that this would be
a desirable reform will be very few.
While he was about it we do not see why
be did not go little further and suggest
that the saloons be placed in charge of
the clergy.

The Albany Journal (Rep.) thinks that
thousands of Republicans are deluding
themselves with the notion that the
Cleveland-Hill feud in New York state
is so bitter and extends so far down into
the marrow of the Democratic rank and
file that nothing can prevent an overt ex-
preston of it at the polls. The Journal
says the way in which the protesting
Kings county Democrats were converted
to active and successful support of
Flower in 1891 shows the Republicans
that the carrying of New York can be
accomplished only under the most favor

effort. Democratic squabbles in Febru-

Churning by Machinery.

Where the churning of the cream is
done by hand it entails most arduous
task upon some member of the farm
household, and in many cases it falls to
the lot of the housewife. During the
summer, when from two to five cows
are kept, there is half an hour of this
heavy work every day. There is often
a large dog watching the operation of
chu1ning that he may obtain his usual
fill of buttermilk. A treadmiIl can be
obtained for few dollars, and the dog
made to do the work, and you may
watch the operation or devote your
time to other household duties. With
powers, a dog, weighing fifty pounds.
can do the churning of the cream from
five COWS, and not injure himself Such
work in hot weather should be done
early in the morning while it is cool.
The butter chu1ned then will be firmer.
IT the dog is treated kindly and petted,
he will gladly do the work and be ready
at the call, or appear as soon as prepar-
atiOns are observed for tie operation.
Calves, sheep and goats are often used
in treadmills, but the dog is the most
clearly and is best adapted to the work.
Human life is too short to spend much
of it manipulating the churn dasher, es-
pecially when other power is so plenti-
full. An attachment can be placed on
the windmill, but Gains interfere

jumped back lightly, just in time to
escape the blow. Then, before the Ell
ragged reptile could strike again, she
hurled another stone at it, this time
with truer aim, and broke its back.
But no sooner had she made sure of
that snake than a fifth one, bigger
than any of the others, made its ap.
pearance. 1t fought hard, but she at
tackled it fearlesSly. No more stones
OF effective size were near at hand, so
the brave girl picked up Il stout stick,
and with this she tackled her adver-
sary at close quarters. In a short time
she came out best with it, too.
Then she proceeded to lay the snakes
out III a row. with their heads sloping
down the bank. When her father,
David Greth, returned from work that
evening and saw the five reptiles living
there, he was thundersuuck. and could
scarcely believe that his little daughter
had effected the slaughter alont.

THE CIGARETTE EVIL.
When the Habit is Carried to Excess it is
Extremely Hard to Break.


Considering what very poor things
cigarettes are, it is surprising that
they should have got such a hold on
the community. But, bad as they are,
they are extremely fascinating. The
use of them when carried to excess
becomes a habit that is most difficult
to break, while they are SO cheap and
so convenient that it takes exceptional
discretion to smoke them at all with
out smoking them to a deleteriOus
extent, says Harper's Weekly. OF
course it is primarily because they are
so cheap that they appeal so generally
to boys; but even with boys, who
ought not to be allowed to smoke at
all, it is not so much the tobacco III
the cigarette that does the mischief as
of inIIaiing The smoke An ordinary
boy of wholesome appetites won't
smoke cigars or pipe tobacco enough
to do him serious damage, even if he
can get them. Nor would the cigar
cites he might smoke be so serious q
menace to bis welfare if he would
only smoke them as he would cigars.
The trouble is as soon as he gets used
to cigarette smoking, he begins to in
hale the smoke and presently is fixed
in a habit that plays mischief with
him.
Whether anything besides tobacco
goes into ordinary cigarettes is a much
discussed question. The effect they
sometimes produce on the brain is so
different from that produced by to-
bacco in other forms as to favor the
theory that many of them contain
opium or velarian; but this the manu-
facturers deny, usually asserting that
such drugs are too expensive to put
into cheap cigarettes, even if it helped
their marketable qualities. One thing
besides the tobacco obviously goes into
them, and that is the paper, the fumes
of which are doubtless bad for the
throat and lungs as far as they go.
