Potatoes come from far Virginia
Parsley was sent us from Sardinia;
French beans, low growing on the earth,
To distant India trace their birth;
But scarlet runner, gay and tall,
That run upon your garden wall
A cheerful sight to all around
In South America were found.
The onion travelled here from Spain.
The leek from Switzerland we gain.
Garlic from Sicily obtain,
Spinach in far Syria grows;
Two hundred years ago or more
Brazil the artichoke sent DER,
And southern Europc's sca-coast shore
Beet root on US bestows.
When 'LiZabeth was reiguins here
Peas came from Holland and were dear.
The south of Europe lays its claim
To beans, but some from Europe came.
The radishes both thin and stout,
Natives of China are, no doubt;
But turnipS, carrots and sea kale,
With celery so crisp and pale,
Are products Of our own fair lard
And cabbagcs-a goodly tribe
Which ADLER pens might well describe
Arc also ours, | understand.

What Shall We Make Our sundars2

What is to be the fate of our Sunday no
one can tell Its fate ought to be fair and
even noble when one thinks about the
growth Of common sense. The idea Of a
day of rest for man and beast ought to ask
no aid from revelation, so easily should it
repose upon the wants of our race. And if
to this conception of rest be added the idea
of a certain high and moral education, the
day should still find ample support in the
processes of reason. A majority of Ameri-
cans perhaps favor the day because of their
religious beliefs and feelings, but almost the
entire population ought to confess the value
of a season by any former period.
The multiplying millions, the awakened
intellects which can grow in vice as easily
as in virtue, the needless work and pain Of
a people made half wild by liberty, the
value of all true education and study,
whether it comes from the arts or the
fields Of the sanctuary, join in asking the
thinkers powerful in the church to dis
cover what kind of Sunday will most trU y
bless man, not only as n religious being.
but also as being capable of greatness
and happiness upon eafth.-Professor David
Swing in Forum.

Tea and Temncrance.

Toast or bread and tea have much to an
swer for in the next world, If not in this.
Two-thirds of the drunkenness among
women is due to the excessive use of strong
tea. l was told yesterday that the increase
of drunkenness among young servant girls
in New York was alarming, and in each
case found that the girls were in the habit
of keeping teapot over the fire most of
the time. This creates form of stomach
trouble that produces a laundering or
gnawing," the brain is excited and liquor
is taken to relieve this pain, and in short
time seems almost necessary.
Do not for moment think that I would
not use either tea or bread, for / should
with a liberal supply of nutritious food.
But not alone TO take the place of good
food, for they are inferior in food value.
In large cities the tea drinker is, as a rule,
a woman, and it seems to do for her what
tobacco does for man-produces strong
desire for alcohol. This is a question for
our temperance people to think over. 1t
has always been my opinion that if the
community would spend little more time
studying food principles, and teaching the
same TO the incorporate class, saloons
would soon close for want of support.
That tea and coffee excite and stimulate
the nervous system there is not a doubt;
but many persons who would be shocked
at glass of whisky and soda before rising
in the morning see no disgrace in strong
tea, and still by it they are excited and
fustered in their manner. Tea, in some,
possesses no drawback; but such are the
exceptions which prove the rule.-Table

Fuel in SIN oke.

A great deal of value goes up in SMOKE"
but few people realize that smoke has any
value. Some Scotchmen, however, have
discovered that it is so valuable that they
pay several of the Scotch iron works reg
ular rental for the privilege of collecting
and carrying away the smoke and gases
from their blast furnaces. The smoke and
gases are passed through several miles of
wrought iron tubing, Diminishing in size
from six feet down to eighteen inches, and,
as the gases cool, there is deposited con-
siderable yield of oil.
At one of the smallest of these institu-
tions-a Glasgow plant-there are pumped
and collected about 60,0O0,000 cubic feet of
furnace gas per day, and on an average
some $4,000 gallons of furnace oil are re-
covered weekly, using the residual gases,
consisting chiefly of carbonic monoxide, as
fuel for distilling and other purposes, while
a considerable yield of sulphate of am
monia is obtained.-Chicago Press.

The Scored BALLOT in the COMING E1ection.

The Secret Ballot in the Coming Election.
The fact that all the 50 called doubt
full" states, whose vote is decisive in the
election this year, are TO cast their ballots
in absolute secrecy, free from all espionage
and intimidation, is one of momentous i'm
portance The first and inevitable effect
viii be to lessen enormously the part
which money will play in the contest.
Every state in which money has hereto
fore been used most freely has adopted the
new system. If votes be bought in those
states hereafter the purchaser cannot fol-
low the men whom they have bought to
the polls to see if they keep their bad bar
gain. The result will be the same in those
states as it has been everywhere else under
similar conditions-namely, very few votes
will be bought
This is a novel phase of presidential
canvass and election which both political
parties will do well to take into considera-
ton in selecting their campaign managers
for this year. If money is no longer to be
the controlling factor in the election, Will
it be either expedient or wise to put pro-
fessional corruptionist in charge of the
campaign of either party? On the con-
trary, will it not be the highest political
wisdom to put men of character in charge
of all the committees, national, state, dis
trict and other?-Century

aluminium is no new discovery, but it is
only lately that the cost of production has
brought it within the possibilities of ordi-

and great advantage of the metal is its
wonderful lightness, as you see. 1t is very

teacher in the same school. He was in the
habit of strolling into her room during the

the lady teacher endeavored TO make the
class comprehend the omnipresence Of
God. She explained TO them that God was
everywhere.

They Meet Under the Date and Palm

OMAHA, Aug. 16.-The Orient and
the Occident meet this week under the
date and palm trees in the oasis in
Omaha. At the business meeting in the
morning Illustrious Potentate Sam Briggn
called the imperial council to order and
read his annual report, which shows a
prosperous condition of the order. Other
officers then reported and q recess until
afternoon was taken.
At the afternoon session Cincinnati
was chosen as the place of meeting in
1893. w. P. Mellis, of Cincinnati, was
chosen imperial potentate. The other
officers elected were: Palmer Hudson,
Pittsburg, deputy imperial potentate; J..
H. Field, San Francisco, chief rabbien;
James Locke, Boston, assistant rabbien.
The grand parade in the evening was
a gala affair. Three thousand Shriners
were in line. The line of march was a
continual blaze of red and green fire and
10000 people witnessed it. Imperial Po-
tentate Briggs reviewed the parade from
the balcony of the Paxton hotel. After
the parade a grand reception vas ten
dered the visiting Knights and Shriners
at the Paxton and the festivities lasted
until a late hour.

A Novel FlytrAD.

A druggist in the upper part of New
York city, after trying numerous plans
for the determination of the flies which
swarmed about his place, at last lit upon
a device which does the work successfully
and thoroughly. The apparatus, says The
Sun, is run by a little electric motor and
gathers in the flies with great celebrity and
absolute certainty. A piece of strong
brown paper, about four inches wide and
fifteen inches long, is fastened in a contin-
% band around two rollers, which are
kept revolving at a slow rate by the motor.
The band is slightly smeared with a sweet
substance. Two-thirds of the length Of
the band is freely exposed, but at the other
roller it runs under a wire cone and then
against a brush. The flies alight on the
slowly moving band and unsuspectingly
remain there slipping the sweets until
brushed off, when they fly up into the cone,
from which they can find no exit. The
cone is a species of flytrap, quite a com
mon device, but the electric motor does
not leave it to the flies to get into the trap,
but railroads them to destruction. The
way it catches flies is a caution.
