Trees Which Bear But Once.

The sago palm tree bears but one crop
Of fruit. Its load of nuts is its first aud
final effort in the way of fruit bearing.
The nuts become ripe and are strewn in
thousands around the tree until the
great stem stands up by itself, empty and
bare. The branches turn brown and
drop one by one to the ground. Inside
the trunk the work of decay is going on
until what at one time was a mass of
white sago and pith becomes nothing but
a collection of rotten brown fibers. One
day the trade wind blows more strongly
.aan usual aud the leaness column of the
trunk falls with crash, destroying in
its fall many of the young palms that
are already springing from the nuts
scattered some months before. The tall
put or Palmyra palm, native of Ceylon,
is another tree which flowers and bears
fruit but once. When about eighty
years old, which is when it has attained
its full growth, the flower spike bursts
from its envelope with a loud report. In
the course Of fifteen or twenty months it
showers down an abundance of nuts,
and this effort to produce a numeI Gus
succession proves fatal to the parent.
The fruit is round and very hard, about
the size of cherry, and so abundant
that one tree will produce sufficient tC
plant a large district. - Brooklyn Eagle,

THE MAIleY LIQUOR INFLUENCE.

The st. Louis Evangelist, in a very sug.
gestive article upon the liquor interest saysi
There is not another power in existence
which exerts so malign an influence on the
human race as the liquor interest. Not a
day passes but that its hands are red with
blood. Every day brings wife murders by
drunken husbands; shooting affrays caused
by alcohol, madmen and a reign OF anarchy
and blooo due to liquor. In 1891, according
to high license Journal, there were 1l3O
murders in this country caused by liquor.
Two hundred and forty thousand saloon
keepers virtually rule the land. The cities
are controlled by them; they dictate the
election Of mayors and councilmen; the po-
lice are their obedient servants; the legisla.
lures are careful not to offend them. The
parties, the political aspirants and the off,
cials are all afraid of the 240, 900 freebooters
who prey upon the country. They dare not
raise their little finger to forbid their plum
der of the people"

CHECKER BOARD WORK.

Woven or checker board work for
cushions and anti-macassars is quite
popular and not at all difficult to make.
For hard usage the wider kind of mohair
skirt braid is most serviceable, but satin
ribbon is, Of course, much handsomer.
Select two colors or two shades or the
same color and cut the ribbon into strips
of the required length; pin each strip
to cutting board or table and weave
cross pieces of the other shade in and
out with regularity. The intersections
should afterwards be secured at the back
by an invisible stitch or two. A broader
plain ribbon or a piece of plush, match
ing one of the shades used in the weav-
ing, may be sewed on for a border, and
for an antimacassar lace or fringe can
be added to the lower edge.-New York

TIE ALCOHOLIC DANGER.

Alcohol is. in an emergency, conspicuous
factor of danger to the individual and to the
community. A recent significant recog-
milton of this fact occurred at Homestead,
Penn, at the critical iuucture of the contest
between the Piukerton men and the strikers.
The local officials were confessedly power
less to control, and for the time being the
affairs of Homestead vera under the direc-
ton of the leaders of the great strike. Thou
sands of workmen were unemployed and
under great excitement. Deadly shots were
fired by the contestants on both sides. Dur
ing this great emergency, we are told, the
saloons were ordered closed. When the
military assumed command, and the imme-
diate danger of conflict was lessened, the
saloon surveillance was relaxed and the
usual drinking of in6oxicants began again.
The experience of our own and other
countries in cholera visitatons Of former
years, has demonstrated conclusively that
those who use Intoxicating beverages are
much more predisposel than abstainers to
cholera infection, and that it is much more
likely to prove fatal IN such cases. 1t is true
that we are separated from the present
cholera-stricken districts by thousands of
miles of water, but between the French
ports and our own there are continuous fer
ries, and they compass the distance, inter
changing passengers and their effects, in a
single week. As ia grippe developed in
all countries so also may the cholera. The
prudent thing to do is to avoid the con-
ditions whcn invite it. One of these con-
ditions is alcoholic poisoning.
1t ought not to be necessary to suggest to
thoughtful, intelligent people at least, that
anything which, in great emergency, as at
Homestead, must be prohibited as matter
of public safety. or specially avoided, from
prudential considerations, as in the cholera
epidemic, ought not to be used at all for
beverage purposes. Neither ought the State

Stock that is continually tempted by
weak fences should not be blamed for
becoming breachy.
Sweet potatoes cannot be kept through

when harvesting.
The farm will never give you COM
plete satisfaction so long as you have to
buy fruit from your neighbor.
II the weeds have possession Of the

If the 'first-class farmer" would

Something new must be planted every
