On page three is published an earnest
letter from Rev. w. r Davenport Of
Barre. on the enforcement of the liquor
law. 1t is time for the friends of law
and order, of good morals and good
government, to speak out boldly. The
press presents the means of reaching
the ears and hearts of the people. The
citizen should employ this means, and
thus greatly aid the newspapers in this
contest for the enforcement of law;
strengthen the hands of those officials
who are doing their duty, and denounce
those who are false to their oath.

Dry Periods in England.

Dry periods seem to come in groups,
separated by long though somewhat
irregular intervals. Out of the whole
twenty-five months of short rainfall
for the past eighty-two years, no
fewer than eight occurred between the
years 1878 and 1882, while four cases
were scattered over the years 1885 to
1912. The next group occurred be-
tween 1s4s and 1857, when there were
as many as seven months drier than
last. After this came a very long
period without any very small rainfall,
the twenty-six years from 1853 to 1888
yielding only one instance of SO trifing
an amount as that of last May, and
none with a smaller quantity. Be-
tween August, 1883, and January, 1891,
there was no record in London of a
months rainfall of even less than half
an inch, but since then we have had in
London three months drier than last,
the February of 1891, with total fall
of only four-hundredths of an inch,
being the driest on record during the
long period of eighty-two years. The
latest instance of a very dry month oc-
Cured as recently as February last,
when the total amount of rain in Lon-
don was less than half that registered
in May.-London News.

ACCESSIBILITY Of Dehorninr.


# there is any doubt Of the advisable
ity Of dehorning cattle in general,
there can be no doubt of the advisa-
bility Of dehorning the bad-tempered
animal that is prone to drive his fell
lows from the water or feed trough, or
from the shelter. This animal does
not profit from the hurt it does others.
The quarrelsome animal never makes
as much fat or milk from its feed as it
would were it quiet and peaceable, and
it reduces the thrift of the animals it
deprives Of feed, water or shelter, if it
does not injure them. In nearly every
case such an animal will be thorough
" reformed by dehorning; it will be
among the most peaceable among the
herd. In the few eases in which this
effect is not produced the animals ca
pacity to injure its fellows is much
|slessened, and they will soon learn this
and will not be imposed upon by it,

HOW JONAH LOOKED.

An,African Convert Supplies History Where
tho Bible Is Silent.
Here is composition written by
little African girl at Palmas five years
after she wAs caught running wild. It
was read at missionary meeting by
Bishop Clark. The spelling is correct
ed:
..HIsToRY, GEOGRAPHY AND THE
EARTH"
''Do you know what historyis? His
tory, you know, teaches US what is to
happen in the past event. Geography
shows where the thing has happened
at. History tells us when Adam and
Eve were created, and geography
shows US where the Garden of Eden is
which continent and which division.
History tells US that Adam was the
first man that was created, and while
he was sleeping God took out one of
his ribs and made Eve. After awhile
he went to walk among tho trees of
the garden. Conversation took place
between her and the devil. The devil
told her to eat some kind of fruit
which God had told her and Adam not
to eat. She took it and eat it; also took
some for her husband. When Adam
saw It he did not take no time to ask
where she got it from.
History, geography, and the earth
just do go together. One tells us about
this and the other tells us about that,
etc. Histories are interesting to read,
indeed they are. 1t tells us about the
whale. The whale is the largest
animal in the sea. Whales is spoken
of by the Bible. When God had sent
Jonah to Ninevah to preach to the
people about their sins. Jonah refused
to go. He went into ship with some
people. He first went in there to hide
from God, but God caused q storm to
take place. The ship went from this
way to that way. The people was
afraid indeed and they began to cast
lots. The lot fell upon Jonah, SO they
up and throwed him into the sea.
While he was going to the very bot
tom of the sea he went with this ami
NAL, so the whale said: My friend,
whore are you going?' Jonah an
swered and said unto him: I have dis
obeyed my God and am trying to hide
from His face The whale said, You
ought to be ashamed of yourself
Don't you know that neither I nor you
can hide from His face? Jonah said:
oh, whale! I am afraid. do not
know what am doing or saying.
The whale said: oh, Jonah, Jonah,
hearken ,unto me, and take heed to
yourself, for indeed will swallow you
up soon.' Jonah said: Have mercy
upon me, oh, whale, and, if it is Gods
will, He will carry me safely to the
land, so may obey Him. The whale
said: Jonah, put your head in my
mouth, and get ready for your life.
Jonah said: Whale, think you had
better swallow me, because I see there
is no use talking The whale said:
Jonah, the idea Of your running away
from God! You will bear the conse.
quences; that is all got to say AT
the same time he did swallow him up.
Jonah thought the whales body
was his grave and end. Therefore,
Jonah offers up prayer to. God for his
sins, if he should die before he should
get to the shore II 1t was Gods will to
carry his soul to Heaven. The whale
did not rest day after day nor night
after night. SO, after three days, the
whale went to the shore and vomited
up Jonah.
Jonah was like drowned rat."-N.
