LIQUOR PRODUCTION.

The annual report Of the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue gives the quantity OF spir.
its in distillery warehouses, September 80,
1891, as 104, $40, 500 gallons. The quantity
Of distilled spirits in the United States, ex.
cept what may be in custom bonded ware
houses, October I, 1891, was lb2, 945 773 gal~
Ions. Whatever, therefore, may be true Of
the Croton-water supply for New York,
there is no immediate danger OF whisky
famine for the country at large in the light
of these figures. The total number of dis
tilleries registered and operated during the
year is given as 4049 and 1919 respectively, q
decrease of 23S in the number registered,
and a decrease of 1892 in the number oper-
ated. The commissioner announces his
purpose of substituting weighing for gaug-
ing in most places in ascertaining the guam
tity of distilled spirits subject TO tax. The
figures of the Internal Revenue report,
large as they are, have an ominous signiti-
canoe as to the extent to which alcoholic
beverages are still consumed by large num-
bers of people. They indicate conclusively
the urgent need of increased educational
temperance missionary work. National

YARN water +. %1aws to drink is the
suDJect up for Tdiscussion in the conven-
tions and papers at this time. 1t is
wonderful how much experimenting IA
be done and how very little is found
out. One wise man will try it here and
come to one conclusion while another
wise man will try it there and come to
quite another conclusion, each thinking
he has settled the question forever. The
outside party will read the reports and
Immediately see that each one of those
parties tried the experiment under
entirely different surroundings. Ole
may have kept tho cows warm and
decided in favor Of cool water while the
other reversed this by keeping his cows
cold and deciding in favor of warm
water. The proper way would seem to
be first to put the COW in the proper con-
dition, both as to housing and feeding
and especially having plenty of meat on
her bones, then try her with water at all
the temperatures from blood heat to
freezing and the one she then thrives
under is the best for COW that is prop
erly kept. Any other plan simply tests
the matter of one error counteracting
another error which is knowledge scarce

BEER AND POVERTY.

The study of statistics is said to rouse the
Chancellor of the Exchequer to enthusiasm
and duh 1gures properly introduced to one
another have told stirring tales. Mr.. Chas.
Booths figures about the poverty of st
George's-in-the-E East and the figures lately
published by the rector in his annual report
about the public houses in his parish ought
to be brought side by side. The inhabitant,
of st. Georges East are among the poorest
in London. Indeed, Mr. Chas. Booth reck
ons st. Georges to be the poorest district in
East London, containind 4SS per cent. OF
what he calls "the poor" compared with
39.2 per cent. in Whitechape, and 44.7 pei
cent. in Bethna-green.
There are, nevertheless, 81 public houses tC
supply with drink the IL, 900 people who oc.
cupy the rectors district-one house, that is,
for every 1875 persons. On Friday evening,
October 80, 1890. many of the public houses
were visited, and, taking the average As per-
sons were found in each house. On Sunday,
November Z, n adults were counted enter
ing one door of a public house. On one
evening, in the short space of 35 minutes 81
children were counted entering drink shops
with cans, jugs or bottles. From such fig
ures it would seem a moderate computation
that 4200 a year must be annuity paid in
over the counter to keep up each of the 81
houses: ZIG, 200 is thus spent every year by

ers will palm off inferior birds at the
high prices of the perfect ones. Tho
perfect bronze turkeys should have black
and glossy plumage, and those from
seven to eighteen months OF age should
weigh between fourteen and sixteen
pounds. The cocks of the same age
should turn the scales from twenty to
twenty-five pounds. The marks of age
are generally unmistakable on bronze
turkeys as well as upon other poultry.
The legs especially grow scaly as the
birds grow old, and when five or six
years Of age they turn to light pink
hue. They are also less lively IN actions,
and act moody and tame.
The color of their plumage is also a
pretty good guide to their age ndpurity
of strain. The plumage of a young tur-
key will sparkle with golden bronze and
purple hues, which cannot be mistaken.
1t shines and glitters in the sun as if it

their feathers. The downy feathers lie

activity about them, which is not notice.
able in poor breeds or in old turkeys.
When the cocks and hens have been
selected for breeding purposes it should
be remembered that the quality of the
flock is to he kept up year after year.
To do this the cocks are more essential
than the hens. Young hens always par
take more of the male parent than the fe-
male, aud a full-bred cock will often
transmit all of its good qualities to the
young of half-5re turkey hen. Part of
the flock should be kept over every year
for future breeding purposes, and only
the best hens should be selected for this
purpose. The color Of the plumage,
size and general activity of the hens should
influence one in this choice. Then it may
often be necessary to purchase one full
bred cock, for this is the best way to keep
up the strain of the family and prevent
deterioration. Qlite a number of focks
of bronze turkeys have lost nearly all
their characteristics by lack of this pre-
caution. They need new blood and out
side strains to give more vitality aud
strength to them. When this is neglected
the turkeys gradually become common or
dinary turkeys of the barnyard. -Ameri-

A good story is told of DR., Dio Lewis,

they are not to be eaten as a desert, but

ARARE BUT BEAUTIFUL PLANT.

Imantophyllum miniatum is plant
that seems to be very little known,
writes Eben Rexford. l have never
seen it in any private collection except
my owna, It resembles the Aga2authus
very much in foliage, though its leaves
are broader, and hardly as long, and are
perhaps darker in color. 1t sends up
its leaves and flowers from a large bulb,
and increases rapidly. In order to Sc
cure strong, blooming plants It is well to
remove most of the young bulbs, as, if
allowed to remain about the old plant,
the pot soon becomes full of bulbs, and
as result you will get but few flowers.
The Agapanthus, bears its flowers, which
are small, on the extremity of a tall
talk. where the Imantophyllum has a
ssfk more like that of the Yallotta, and
IS flowers resemble those of that plant
nost exactly IN shape, but they are
Ike in color, while those of the In
ophyllum are an orange red. From
.hree to five flowers are borne in each
cluster, and each flower lasts several
days. The plant is evergreen in charac-
ter, aud is one of those which can be
kept growing the year round, like the
Gala, without injury. My plant has
aeyer limited at resting, aud from my
experience with it should hardly know
how to 90 to work to make it rest if /
wanted to. AS it blooms regularly each
year, and has fine, large flowers, and
seems in most perfect health, ! do not
insist on its taking rest, but keep il
growing steadily all the time. l cannot
understand why it is not more extensive
ly grown. 1t is quite as attractive as
many varieties Of the Amaryllis, and
much more easily grown. Indeed, my
plant gets no more care than ageranium,
and does as well as l could wish it to. II
likes a good deal of water at its roots
and rather large pot. Mine grows in &
soil composed of loan, leafmold and
sand, aud has good drainage provided
1t generally blooms in March or April
and is to the spring decoration of the
sitting room or greenhouse what the
Vallotta is to the sitting room or green
house in fall-One of our best plants

Caught A Great Eagle.

P. Marker, who is working out at A.
II. Smiths sawmill on Rifle Creek, set o
large trap, thinking to catch a monster
bear, whose tracks were seen in the
neighborhood. Several days after he
went out to look at his trap, but instead
Of the bear he found large eagle, the
largest, perhaps, ever seen In the Rocky
Mountains. The eagle had been caught
in the powerful jaws of the trap by one
leg just above the claws. He had dragged
the immense trap, which was secured to
a log by chain, into some brush more
than twenty-five feet from the spot where
trapped, and was dead. SO large aud
strong was his leg that it was not broken.
The eagle was too large to carry, so the
trapper cut both legs off as trophies,
lie measured the huge bird, and it was
twelve feet from tip to tip of its out
stretched wings.-Myrtle Point West

AMERICAS DANGER AND DISGRACE.

The craving of alcohol. begotten of alcohol,
ever wakes danger; the moment comes
when it is a wild passion, a fierce ma ness,
says Archbishop Ireland. In slavery to it
woman forgets honor; the father in hellish
laughter casts TO the vender of liquor
that solitary dime that would stay the
starvation of the child; the husband plwns
the cot of the dying wife.
The muscular giant crouches in terror be-
fore the shrine; youth yields up freshness of
mien and hopes of fortune, and mocks for its
sake amother's tears and brides love. Old
age at its bidding puts on the garment of
idiocy, and closes its earthly journey in dis
grace and sin. Intelligence will not ward
off its arrows; poet, orator, statesman go
forward chained to its chariot into Manner
tine, tine gloom Piety does not with With,
very cedars Of Lebanon have been
laid low, the royal oaks of the forest have
been uncrowned and flung into the deep val
leys of ignominy and death. The home is
made desolate by it. How sacred the home
1t is Gods appointed treasury of pure and
sweet love! There happiness bubbles forth
from everything springs; virtue germinates
and blooms in native soil, waterei by pro-
pitious dews from the skies. The homes of
the land are the social units of which tho
aggregate is the nation. The nation in its
wider sphere of action is the reflection of its

DttSoco ONeI lue nOules IL Is Tue puSSdre OF
death. The drunkard's soul exhales hatred
and sin; hearts of wife and mother break in
anguish; the ceaselesS tear-drop of sorrow
glisten on the eyelid, and the veil of gloom
and despair darkens their faces Alcohols
hellish work goes beyond the drunkards
home. There is physical an moral conta-
gion; other homes are smitten. and alcohol
lifts up its sceptre within their enclosure. The
drunkenness of an employe endangers an
entire industry; that of trusted guardian
of public interests ruins fortunes and de-
stroys precious lives. Poverty is begotten,
the sober and industrious are taxed to re-
lieve it. Citizens of America, know aud
realize the danger. Evil bearing alcohol
floods your land; its murky and noxious
pillows are dashing against your homes. and
their angry crest rise to the very submits of
the pillars upon which are set your free re-
publican institutions
Intemperance is not the festive rollickine
of former times; it is bestial In its degrade
ton, hellish In its crime begetting power.
Indeed, intemperance is increasing the world
over; it has become the virulent malady of
the nineteenth century, a fact which does
not make our own local condition the more
hopeful.

pEApENINe TIMBER.

A Southern farmer writes, in the South,
where the land is usually cleared by
deadening the practice is convenient, but
more costly in the end than complete
clearing at the first. Land is cleared of
the small timber at a cost of about So
per acre, while it costs at least S25 to
clear it completely. In general there is
no practice that is in common use with
out some advantage, and this applies to
the deadening of the timber in the first
clearing. Where timber ia scarce to
deadeu it is an economy, for otherwise
Dtf Ser is burned and destroyed. l
have several old fields on which there is
a large quantity of standing timber, once
of no value, but now worth more than
the cost Of clearing for the lumber aud fire
wood in it. Timber will keep sound many
years, and where there is no market for it
and possibility of future value, it is ad .
visable to kill and leave it for future use
The common method in the South is to
leave the large timber which is not in
the way of growing crops, and after a
few years to seed the land to grass, and
yradually clear it off at leisure. There
no damage or benefit to the land in any
-ay by leaving the timber to stand
