1t takes good eyesight to see the
devil through pile of money.
There isn't enough gold in the world
to make a disconnected man rich.
Those who are close with money
are very often liberal with advice.
The man who cannot be caught
with whiskey may be ruined by mon
ey.
Some Of the hungriest men in the
world to-day are those who have the
most wealth.
1t is hard for God to take man in
to his arms who is already hugging a
bag of money.
Take the money out of the whiskey
business and it is doubtful if the devil
could make men mean enough to
keep them in it.
Let few millionaires become as
generous as the woman who gave the
two mites, and how fast the devil
would begin to run.

In her report to the w. @. L. .. at
Baltimore, Miss Mary Morse of New
York, said that there has been an en-
couraging progress in the work of Sc
curing unfermented wine at the sac
rament of Our Lords Supper. The
action of the w. @. T. Z. last May was
followed in August by the Presbytery
of Chicago recommending the use of
pure grape juice at the Lords supper.
Resolutions are also reported to have
been passed in favor of unfermented
wine at communion by ecclesiastical
bodies in California, East Washington,
North Carolina, Florida and Mississ-
ippi. The Methodist denomination
leads in the apoption of the reform.
The Lutheran and Episcopal churches
are beginning to yield their prejudices
and the Roman Catholic church in
several instances has become interest
ed. Sixty thousand gallons of alco-
holic wines are annually dispensed in
the churches of this country.

A Philadelphia recently returned
from an extended tour of South
America tells an interesting story of
the queer climatic conditions prevail
ing in certain parts of the lower half
of this continent. "Of course, il is
pretty we'll known" said he, "that
while the people north of the equator

those people living south of that i'm
aginary line are in the midst of sum-
mer, and vice versa. This rule, how
ever, so far as South America Is
concerned, applies only to the coast,
for in the mountains Of the interior
peculiar condition of affairs exists.
Up in the Andes the natives are i'm
the midst of winter when midsum-
mer prevails on the coast, and when
winter reaches the coast il is sum-
mer in the mountains. OF course,
neither the coast nor mountain win
ter is very severe, but the distinction
between the two seasons is decidedly
marked. It is a very remarkable

The Shakers have made great hit. Their
Digestive Cordial is said to be the most sue
cessful remedy for stomach troubles ever in
troduced. 1t immed lately relieves ali pain
and distress after eating, builds up the feeble
system and makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested are bet
ter than so-cal1ed tonics. The Cordial not
only contains food already digested, but is
a digester of other foods. Food that is not
digested does more harm than good. People
who use the Cordial insure the digestion of
what food they eat and in this way get the
benefit of it and grow strong.
The little pamphlets which the Shakers
nave sent druggists for free distribution,
contain much interesting information on the
subject of dyspepsia.
Laxol is not mixture of drugs. 1t is moth
ing but castor oil made palatable.

No particulars have reached US, but
we learn through the Times Herald, of
Chicago, that Judge Chilly, of London,
holds that Lady Henry Somerset must
renew the license to public houses on
her estate. 1t will be remembers ID
that Lady Henry has been accused of
Inconsistency in advocating total alb
stinence and holding property on
which public houses, or saloons, were
situated. We have repeatedly ex
planned that she was powerless to pre-
vent such use of her property until
the licenses which she had inherited
had expired. This occurred recently
and she gave notice to the holders
that she would not renew their Ii
censes. Whereupon the dramsellers
brought suit and the judge decided
that Lady Henry ''must not let her
personal opinions influence her ac-
tons in her fiduciary Crust holding)
capacity" and that being only a ten
ant for life, she must put her con-
science in allegiance and re rent her
property for immoral purposes! Moth
ing will show so clearly to American
readers, who do not comprehend the
management Of entailed property, the
anomalous situation in which Lady
Henry finds herself, and the brave eff
forts she is making to conform her
business interests to her convictions
of right and duty. Instead of derid
ing her, as so many of our penny pa
pers have done, every friend of truth
and Justice should applaud her for
dauutless, but fruitless efforts to ar
uses.

There is every prospect of second
stWoman's'' crusade'' in Harvey, H.
This town was founded about five
years ago by an association which put
into all it's deeds a clause providing
that no saloon should ever be estab-
lished and the penalty was forfeiture
of the land. Hundreds of the staunch-
est temperance people were attracted
by this provision, bought land and
made homes in the thriving little
manufacturing village. The land as
ISOLATION after time changed offic-
ers, aud the provisions in it's charter
seemed to have been disregarded, at
least the council last week voted for
a saloon license and the mayor signed
it. No grosser perfidy could have
been perpetrated. The population IS
ten to one against saloons, indeed,
most Ct the resid ;nts of Harvey are
there solely because of its supposed
inviolable prohibition charter, and
now the hydra headed monster is to
be planted in their very midst! But
the women are determined. They
have appointed a committee of one
hundred to crusade the saloon out be-
fore it comes in. We hope to give
our readers history of their work,
written by we'll known white rib
boner of Harvey.

organizations in only IA few of the larger

society may send two delegates and the
people of Burlington will he asked to en-
tertain these delegates. The entertain

talked over plans for canvas ssing the city.
The work will be begun In a systematic
manner in the near future. The conven-

ways than one and II is safe TO assert that
the hospitality for which the Queen City
of Vermont is noted will be as liberal and
as hearty as of yore.

HELPING UNITED STATES OFFICERS
Canadian Postoffice Authorities Circum
vent Shippers of Musical Reprints.

Montreal. Que, July 1G.-The postoffics
authorities here have again succeeded in
cirCumventing the attempts of those who
are engaged in shipping reprints of valu-
able music to the United States, thereby
infringing the American copyright act.
Some time ago through the vigilance Of
the local postal officials, six large sacks
of contraband mail matter which had been
expressed at Toronto for Montreal were
mailed here with a view to eluding the
customs officials. The mail was put in six
bags by local officials, sealed and mailed
to the United States officer at St. Adams.
Here the mail was found to he contraband.
and was seized. The contents were valued
al $1,000.
on Saturday two more bags were detain-
ed here.
Since the action of the Montreal au-
thorities in the matter, the shippers have
been sending these reprints of music to
other points in Canadian territory by
express from Toronto to be mailed, in or
der to avoid the Montreal postal authors
ties. The shippers have been working or
Sherbrooke postofiice and other important
points near the line.
The Canadian authorities have aided tho
United States officials considerably in un-
earthing this means of defraudng the
United States and breaking the copyright
act of the country. It is estimated that
many thousand dollars worth Cf reprints
of valuable American music have found
their way into the United States from
Canada.

SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE.
Interesting Statistics Contained in
Forthcoming Report

The status of agricultural education in
the United States is shown in the forth
coming year book Of the agricultural de-
partment. Advance abstracts from this
book show that there are 65 institutions in
operation under the provisions of the
Landgrant acts of July >, 1862 and Aug.
30, 1890 Sixty of these maintain courses
in agriculture. In II States separate in
stitutions are provided for white and col
ored students. Special courses in dairying
and other agricultural industries have
been recently established at the University
and state Agricultural college of Vermont
and a few others.
The value of additions to the equipment
of these institutions during 1894 is esti-
mated at I415. 4aj. Agricultural expert
ment stations are now in operation In all
the States and territories The total num-
Der of stations is 30. The total income of
the stations during 1894 was 1896 l57, of
which $7l9. $50 came from the government
and the remainder from States and in
dividuals The station bulletins are now
regularly distributed to half a million per
sons closely identified with agricultural
interests.
The experiment stations are conducting
a wide range of scientific research in lab
