IT appears from British consular re- ports just published that there is place on the face of the globe where intoxica- tion, instead of being regarded as a vice, is looked upon as virtue, and where drunken laborers are actually at a pre- mium. This peculiar condition of affairs prevails in the Portuguese pos sessions of South Africa. It seems that the natives there, when employed for any definite object, have to be carefully and laboriously instructed how to per form their work. If man be temper ate in his habits he will in one or two months earn sufficient to maintain him. self in idleness for nearly a year, and the consequence is that he returns to his home and the instructions which have been given to him are entirely lost. With an incorporate native the oppo- site state of affairs exists. Month after
 month, on the receipt of his wages, he spends his entire earning in liquor, and never having sufficient funds to take him
 home, remains with his employer for years, becoming more and more valu-
 able as time passes by reason of the fact
 that the repetition of instructions be-
 comes gradually less necessary.

How to Grow Cabbage.

The following directions are given by
o North Carolina farmer in communi-
cation to Southern Cultivator:
The seed should bes rather late in
the spring. Let the plants stand in the
bed until you are ready to set them in the
garden. Run off your cabbage row
three feet apart. Make big furrow ane
put it half full of manure stable manure
Is the best). Mix the manure with the
dirt. Throw on good ridge and plant
two feet apart. Set the plants in the
ground up to the leaf. Never set your
plants after rain. Never water them
but one time. Let that be when yuu sci
them out. Set plants in, pull in littl<
dirt, fill the hole full of water, let SETTLE
half an hour. fill with dirt, pack gently
and. don't trust to Providence to fnis
making the crop, but instead you riusi
work them often, deep at first and silai

Why We Are In Sheol.

A document recently issued by our
theosophical brethren lays down as one
of its basic propositions the following
startling statement:
This earth is hell.
We do not know whether this is so or
not, but if it is then we know why it is
so. 1t is because the man who makes q
business engagement with you, promis-
ing faithfully to be on hand at a given
hour, comes an hour afterward or not at
all. He puts you to no end Of inconve-
nience and loss from which you suffer
indescribably, but he does not care. It
is a way he has Of distributing sheol
along each side of his path wherever he
goes. Then there is the laundress. She
never on a single occasion has washed
your clothes clean, and that is good
slice of sheol when it continues without
intermission half a century. The hired
girl never has been able to sweep or dust
room properly. It is an impossibility
to get unadulterated food from the gro
Ger or baker, or well cooked, nourishing
food for month at time anywhere.
Then there are the spiteful, bad temper
ed people. They make life sheol on
their own hook. No more exquisite tor
ture can ever be inflicted on a sensitive
person who loves harmony and good will
than to be forced to live with them. And
it soon happens that the sensitive person
almost always must live with one Of these
tormenting spirits. There, too, is the evil
spirit who tells lies, the fend who tries
to cheat you and the boss fiend Of all
who is dirty and offensive in his per-
sonal habits.
Do you know anybody except yourself
who is always good tempered, perfectly
truthful, sincere and honest, and who is
entirely clearly and has courteous man.
ners besidesP On the whole, perhaps the
theosophical brethren are right. This
may be sheol

A recent traveller through the rural dis
tricts Of France writes that the country
people there wear crushed and subdued
air. The reason is that oeaseless toll and
pinching parsimony take all the life out
Of them, so there Is nothing but mere
existence. He writes: "You see In their
faces the grinding care and greedy thrift
which fill the lives of these people. They
are not a lovely folk, these ever toilins
French peasants. The Joy seems to have
gone out of the lives of young and old"
There is only one subject that really
awakens their interest outside of SCRAP
ing money together, and that is talk Of
war between France and Germany. They
would give their lives as one man to fight
again and take back Alsace and Lor-
raine from Germany.

THE ICE CREAM CURE.
snatched From the Brink Of the Grave
This Easily Taken Remedy.

This Easily Taken Kennedy
A man who is run down in health or
who finds disease fastening itself upon
his vitals usually tries to save himself by
some form of exercise that yields no
profit. Hunting, fishing, boating, box
Ing, lawn tennis, horseback riding and
swinging the dumbbells are frequently
tried in vain endeavor to regain the fast
decreasing strength.
Jim Tobin, one Of our most industri'
0us farmers, was confined to the house
for some weeks last summer afflicted
with stomach trouble that almost BAT
fled medical skill. II was found that no
food except ice cream could be retaine
long enough to be digested. He confined
himself to that diet and was soon allie to
take some exercise. But he engaged in
none of the unremunerative fashionable
fads mentioned above. He preferred
something financially profitable as well
as physically beneficial and used hi
muscles in performing the lighter forr
of farm work. For several weeks h-
continued this sensible course, coniniu.
himself strictly to an ice cream diet. T.,
soon found that his former strength anc
vigor had returned, and he was able to dc
asmuch as ever--an amount more than Is
accomplished by the average man.
AT the Tobin home gallon Of rich ice
cream is frozen regularly as morning
comes. This work is part of the regular
routine of breakfast getting. The amount
mentioned is sufficient for the day. Mr.,
Tobin never eats less than quart Of the
dainty food at meal and frequently re-
quires more than that amount, although
seldom indulging in so much as half g
| gallon. He digests it readily and enjoys
1t. He could probably take other kinds
of food now, but has suffered so much
from indigestion that he thinks it best
to leave well enough alone.
| Since the 14th of last July he has eateI
nothing but ice cream. On that date he
weighed 40 pounds and was hardly able
to walk. Now he tips the beam at &c
and works early and late. This gain Of
20 pounds of flesh and the complete res
toration of his strength on diet of fro
zen cream, eggs and sugar is something
remarkable, but it is the simple truth u
we got it from Mr.. Tobin's own lips
Those who see him-the perfect repre-
sentative of a man in rugged health, witt
sinewy build aud almost tireless strength
would hardly suspect the modcsty O
his meals and hardy credit the stoi,
when it is told them
Of course there is mrch monotoly il
his meals, but he cont>nts himself will
his dish of cold comfort, and for desscr
shifts the aroma and odor Of the victual
on the table. He is satisfied with healtl
and strength and says the medicine i
not bad to take.-Lagoda Leader.

Last of the Stalwarts.

Notable was that banquet given in Phil
adelphia to the survivors of the memora-
BILE 1906" who voted for Grant at Chicago
in 1880. All but the very youngest among
our voting citizens can recall the sensa-
ton produced at the Republican presi-
Dental convention Of that year, when,
with Roscoe Conkling at their head, the
3O6 stood together and voted through SO
straight ballots to nominate Grant for q
third term. One of the humors of their
opponents, after the convention was
over, was to have huge cast iron medals
struck, bearing in big letters the figures
1906" and send them to the members Of
that band. But it was settled then and
there that the American people would
never consent to let any man be candi-
date for president for third term. It
was at this time, too, that Blaine gave
Conkling and his men the name of "Stal-
warts" One might have thought 1t was
forgotten, that name, but William w.
Hicks Of Florida, who was one Of the
306, assured his hearers at the banquet
that the Stalwarts of 1880 would still be
living in the hearts of the American peo-
pie when the Stalls. themselves had "at-
tanned the freedom Of eternity and looked
down from loftier attitudes" On the
whole, it is good phrase that-"at-
tanned the freedom of eternity"
Another of the old Grant guard at the
banquet was Webster Flanagan Of Texas,
who gave to American political litera-
ture the immortal question, "What are
we here for9" Hon. George s. Boutwell,
was one of the speakers and presided at
the banquet. But the occasion was not
all joyful, because Of the members of the
old guard who were absent. Conkling,
ae of the sneer, and the carl, and the elo-
quent bitter tongue, has attained the
freedom of eternity" So has General
John A. Logan.
OF the 300, 81 are known to be dead,
and of % moreitisunknown whether they
are dead or alive. Of the rest 90 were
too infirm to bear the journey to Phfla-
delphia. So the years fly, and only 81
Of the stalwart Grant delegates in 1880
remained who were able to attend the
banquet in their honor at Philadelphia.

Mr.. T. J. Dwyer of New York, who
grows celery plants largely every year
says concerning the growth and produc
ton Of the several varieties:
White Walnut is a good grower, Il lii

There is less waste with it than with the
others. Giant Pascal is valuable sort
The quality is good, and like the New
Rose it can be eaten away up to the

advantage earliness. 1t is fairly goot

rankest growers. It produces no NOR,

DDS. In view of the difficulties enumer-
ated John Craig, horticultural of thu
central experimental farm of Canada
suggests In recent bulletin the adop.
ton of cooperative plan of spraying;
First. where orchards are not large. II
few farmers might combine and purchase
a spraying outfit, which would serve the
community, and if 1t were possible to
have it continuously operated by the
same individual, whom practice would
lend superior facility in using it, an adj
ditional advantage would be gained
Another arrangement could be made "A:
follows:
A complete spraying outfit, including
chemicals, might be purchased by per
son who would be prepared to spray
under contract by the acre or at a
stated figure per tree. If this system OF
combating fungous and insect eneai;es
was introduced, it would obviate mucu
of the prejudice and inconvenience now
connected with the work, and spraying
would probably in a few years, to the
great benefit of orchardists, become the
general practice.
For the treatment of apple and peal
spot Mr.. Craig gives the following diret
tons: 81. Before growth begins in spring
spray with a solution of copper sulphate
II pound to so gallons of water. On no
account should this be applied after the
foliage has appeared, as it will severely
injure it. Q. Just before the blossoms
open. spray with diluted bordeaux mix
ture. Repeat this after the blossoms
have fallen and make third application
two or three weeks afterward If TIE
season is wet and rainy later applica
ton may be advisable"
In regard to grape diseases, the advice
is to spray 1.-The canes with copper sui
phate, pound to so gallons, before
growth begins. Follow this solution
with diluted bordeaux mixture (omit-
ting paris green) or ammoniacal copper
carbonate Immediately after the fruit
SETS Repeat at intervals of three weeks.
till the punches begin to color. AIN
moniacal copper carbonate should al
ways be used for the later applications.
Chemicals for spraying can now b,
obtained from most druggists.

An Epidemic of Color Riots.

In this country there is an epidemic Of
color riots. At least an aesthetic for
eigner pronounces this lack of harmony
in color disease. Take, for example, a
combination which is very stylish, that
of a clear, decided blue and green-not
transparent shade, but green that is
glaringly bright. There is absolutely no
excuse for such combination, but it is
one Of the caprices of fashion, and fash

Some newspapers are trying to find a
reason why the Jews do not mingle 30
cially with Christians, as members Of
different churches among Protestants or
even as Catholics and Protestants do.
Some are inclined to attribute 1t to pref
udice against the Jews on the part of
Christians. The reason is very easy to
find, and it is in the Jews themselves,
not in the Christians. Hebrews remain
apart from other races because they
choose to have it so themselves. They
are proud of their ancient blood, proud
Of their religious and social customs. Il
they mingled with other races and inter
married, they assert that the Jewish dis
Effectiveness would be lost. And 80 it
would. The Jews stand off from the
Christians more than Christians stand
off from Jews, certainly in this country.

Since the Franco-P russian war in 1870
progress has been steadily made in the
breeding and training Of carrier pigeons
for military use. There are times when
neither railways nor telegraphs serve to
convey urgent messages from one COM
mander to another or to the home gov
eminent. For that purpose nothing has
been so successful as carrier pigeons.
Germany has been especially progress
sive in developing this branch Of her
military service. The German emperor
sent back the homing birds with mes
sages to his empress from time to time
during his famous visit to England in his
own yacht. The French naval vessels
carry birds for sea service, and now the
officers of American warships are taking
the matter up and training birds success
fully. Several messages were sent lately
from our feet off Fortress Monroe to
New York and Washington by this
means. Swift birds can travel 40 miles
an hour. The message is written upon
tissue paper and tied by silken thread
to the pigeons leg or underneath its
wing. In some instances the message,
after it has been written, is photographed
in greatly reduced size upon thin COLO
dion film, and this substance is used in
stead Of the tissue paper. A magnifying
glass is in such cases necessary to de-
cipher the writing The French declare
that the swallow is superior as a messen-
