TEMPERANCE.
no ARMS, M srsrrns AT. no ApMs.

TO ARMS MT SISTERS ALL, TO ARMS.
Listen, sisters, while tell you,
on n life by sorrow clouded,
or childhood without sunshine,
or girlhood dnrkly shrouded
OF long days and nights OF anguish
Bitter tears, and sobs aud signing,
| or wild prayers and sad besccchngs,
Met with naught but cruel replying;
or a mem'ry that brings only
Scenes of gloom, and pain, and sadness,
Visions OF n child aiIrighted
Fleeing from fathers madness;
Olinging TO trembling mother,
Who can scArco0 moment shield her,
When, compelled by blows and curses,
To his rage IA forced to yield her
OF girl who, welded, thinking
There was no one like her lover;
That at last her cares had vanishod;
But before the year was over
Saw the home light fading, dying,
And the old clouds gath ring DER her;
Saw her prince-himself discrowning-
Humbled in the dust before her.
Oh! the hours OF weary Watching
OH the days of silent weeping.
OH the pain in head and bosom.
OH the nights that knew no sleeping.
Then baby came to bless her
Precious gift from heaven, seeming
Life once more was worth the living;
Hope on her again was beaming.
And she guarded him from evil.
Through the anxious years that brought
him
Out Of boyhood into manhood.
And the sweetest lessons taught him;
But in vain, the spell was on him,
And her faithful love forsaking
He his mother left, to pray for
That last sleep that knows no waking.
This is but one woman's story.
But. alas! q million others
Could the self same story tell YOU
OF the fearful curse that smothers
All the good in those 1t falls on.
Then to arms oh! sisters, mothers,
Wives and daughters. for the rghting
or such wrong needs bravest fighting.
Arm to battle with the creatures
Now in basest triumph swelling,
Who, to poison soul and body,
Thrice accursed drink are selling;
And who every day aud hour
Stronger grow In wealth and power.
But be firm. their weapons Drawing,
For success will be the saving
or our husbands, sons and brothers.
North, East, South, West sound wars
alarms:
To arms, my sisters all, to arms!
Margaret Eytinge, in the Constitution.

How a Japanese Writes a Letter.

A Japanese writes letter thus He
buys a roll of thin, fimsy paper,
hundred feet long aud tightly rolled
up, and package of equally Aimsy
envelopes, rather long and narrow,
and probably having n decorative
border. Squatting on his heels be-
fore his roll of paper he unwinds it
with his left hand, while his right
rapidly makes fire.cracker signs on it
with brush, rolling it off as he goes
along. When the letter is done it is
torn off the roll and enclosed in the
envelope upon which the address is
painted in more tire-cracker letters.

TESTS OF AGmcUIrURAI IMP1EMExrs

TESTS OF AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS
Bulletins No. and No. 7 of the
Utah Experiment Station contain in
teresting results from tests of draught
OF farm wagons, plows, moving ma
chimes and harroWs, as measured by a
seif'recording dynumometer.
The conclusions as stated in these
bulletins are as follows:
That golfers add to draught of
plows by some fifteen per cent. That
trucks or wheels under the end OF the
plow beam decrease drau9ht by about
fourteen per cent. add uniformity to
the furrow and lessen the work OF the
plowman.
When the traces are not in line with
the druught OF the pillow the draught
Is increased.
Lepgthening the hitch slightly de.
creased the draught. A share badly

NEARLY ALL PAID by WORKING PEOPLE.

On all economic questions relating to the
drink traftic in Great Britain Rev. DR.. J.
Burns is an acknowledged authority. The
detailed statement he therefore makes in the
London Times. which he has compile from
Official sources, is highly important. The
amount spent by the United kingdom for
drink in 1894 was something over SG93, ,O0O,-
0C0 OF this the most was spent for spirits
ard beer-over 5000. 900 900 going in this di-
rection, the balance being spent for high
priced wines and liquors bought by the
wealthy. A significant fact brought out by
the statement is that the most OF this tre-
mendous outlay is paid 10y the poor or the
working people, who can least afford it,

TRANspnANTED WEEDS.

Weeds should not be hoe1 during
wet weather. The moisture on their
leaves will prevent them from drying
up, while the roots against the moist
and iooseued Garth will get root hold
and send out new ibres. Aweed once
or twice transplanted is almost as diff
iicult to kill Ms n perennial. The
only way 10 kill such n weed is to
cover it while wet with moist soil.
Then the sap in the weed will cause it
TO rot, and this will effectively check
new frowth OF the root.-Boston Gull
iyator.

ITS FINISHED PRODUCT.

"Shoemakers, backsmiths. tailors, car
penters, farmers, etc, are proud OF the pro-
ducts of their skill and labor. The gin-mill
is the only manufacturing establishment on
the top side Of the earth that doesn't point
with pleasure and pride to its finished pro-
duct. The saloon is proud Of the noble young
man when he first comes under its blighting
influence, but the perfected product-the
finished drunkard-is an object of loathing
and contempt in the eyes of those who
wrecked the mans hopes, character, fortune,
and life. Having robbed him OF his money
and his manhood, the saloonist kicks the
miserable creature Of his Internal business
from his door"

prove themselves The instruction is both
practical and scientific Every effort Is nut
forth to advance the pupil in the trade &c
which his attention is directed. Skilled me.
chanics are employed rs teachers and each
pupil receives individual attention. The in.
