TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.

INN fANA-'Nh NhNS AM NNALos
The saloon is the recruiting station for the
vote buyer
The license system provides for the per-
petuatiOn instead OF the prohibition of the
saloon.
The drinking custom. the crying evil OF
our time, can best be eombated by total ab-
stinenee.
The saloons bring sorrow to thousands OF
homes where peace and plenty would have
reigned II these dens of infamy were closed.
The Paulists are indefatigable workers in
the T. A. cause, and their labors in New York
City have been productive of the greatest
good.
Notre Dame University, in Indiana, has a
students T.. A. society of 10 members, in
afiliation with the State and National Or
ganiZatiOns.
Moderate drinking for a long period has,
according to the testimony of noted scien-
fists, the same deleterious effect upon the
human system as intemperanee during
shorter time.
The man who puts an enemy in his stom-
ach to steal away his digestion sins against
himself; the man who puts an enemy in his
brains to steal away his reason and make
him temporarily insane is liable TO commit
almost any otfense on the calendar OF crime.
The spread of the virtue of temperance
everywhere, in the homes of the rich and
poor OF the educated and the uneducated,
will make for the peace and prosperity OF
our people, the stability Of social order and
the welfare OF religion.
Intemperance is the prolific cause Of pov-
erty and crime Tens Of thousands are kept
poor by drink. Tle money that should be
used to make wife ana chill lren happy is
squaniered on liquor, and the children, in
stead OF being sent 10 school, are forced into
shops and factories to earn a living.
In many OF our cities and manufacturing
towns there is a saloon for less than one
hundred and fifty persons-men, women and
children. Considering that the majority OF
the population drink little or none at all,
small number Of patrons, who therefore
drink too much.

gage over every Grad G In the land.

lambs, there is nothing better than
good clover hay, In fact, this is one
of the essentials to success in early
lamb raising. AS rule, ewes respond
more literally to forced feed for milk
production the second year than they
do the first, but should not be forced
to milk production until the lambs are
n few days old. The market early in
the season docs not require so large
lambs rs the late market. The best
early market commences as soon as
the holiday poultry is out of the way,
usually about the middle of January
in New York City. Dorsets may lie
slaughtered at somewhat younger
! age than Shropshires and yet will dress
! n little heavier There is no particu-
lar difference between these two breeds
in loss of weight by dressing, the
shrinkage being twelve or thirteen per
cent The price paid in the New York
market for fancy lambs varies from
thirty cents down to ten cents per
pound, according to the quality and
appearance. Early lambs are usually
sold by the head, at $40 down to SO OF
less for carcasses weighing thirty to
forty pounds until Southern or Ten
nessee lambs come to market, when
the lambs are sold by the pound. The
exact time at which this occurs varies
from year to year. Sometimes the
early lamb market continues up to the
last of April or even the first part Of
May. Agriculturist.

The above was the subject OF a lecture de-
livered recently at pittsburg by Rev, Presi-
dent Cleary, Of the G. T. A, u, who said,
among other things, that the liquor traflc as
typined by the saloon ''can not point to one
single blessing that Il has ever conferred on
humanity, It cannot offer one single reason
for its existence. We can point TO fathers
and mothers and children that il has
wrecked, homes Il has ruinedi we can point
TO our almshouses, nearly all Of whose I'm.
mates owe their position TO the influence Of
the liquor traiilc, we can point to the vast
army OF trnmps, mostly young men. whom it
has created. Wherever u largo manufactur-

established, wherever large sums OF money
are paid out in wages week after week,

TO complain that they do not receive their
fair share OF the profits Of the industry made

In my anxiety to see the wage earners ofthis
country prosperous and happy; but l am
fully persuaded that so long as the wage

SO long will there be little hope for tho toll

OF the money he tells for; he must remember
that when our self made men were engaged
in making their fortunes they had no time to

that he ought to have plenty of life's neces-

SCIENTIFIC DISH WASHING.

Many housekeepers spend half
lifetime at the work before they learn
that there is an easy, scientific, me-
chanical and cleanly way to wash
dishes. 1t is not an uncommon thing,
if one can get peep into the average
kitchen during this operation, to see
pan of water, not very warm, but very
greasy, with particles of food floating
on the top of it, and pile of dishes
covered with bits and scraps standing
ready for bath in this not very in
viting liquid.
The scientific dish washer either
scrapes off or rinses off all loose par
ticles from her dishes before she puts
them into the water. She begins with
the largest plates, putting them into
the pan first, then adding them by
sizes until the pan is full. Cups and
other articles are placed around, then
over all Is poured hot eoapsuds, not
boiling hot, but quite as warm as the
hands can be put into comfortably.
The cups and sauces are, of course,
the cleanest things. These are washed
first, and by the time she has reached
the plates that may be greasy, they
are warmed through and are cleaned
with much more ease than as though
they were suddenly put into the water
and washed of. At this stage it is a
good plan to put into the water, in
addition to soap, teaspoonful of
washing soda, which should be kept
in a convenient vessel over the sink.
1t takes scarcely more than half OF the
time to wash dishes in this way.
One good housekeeper has a dish
pan almost double the usual size. IR
it every dish is put-silver and all
then the hot water is poured on, a
large quantity being used, and this is
really an economy in time and
strength, provided water is plenty. As
fc7 greasy dish water, good house
keepers should never have it. An
abundance of hot water, good soap, q
little soda and dishes properly scraped
OFF before beginning are all that i:
required Dish cloths are among the
neglected items in kitchen economy.
AS a rule, it takes a good deal of nerve
to touch the average dishcloth. II
should be one of the first lessons
taught 10 the young housekeeper that
her dish cloths should be immaculate

SALT AS A FERTILIZER.

As every plant contains more or less
salt, and salt is indispensable to the
life of an animal, it would seem rea.
sonable that it should be needed by
plants. This is true, but the soil con.
tains some of it, and in some places
much of it, and where there is natu-
rally sufficient supply of it there is
no necessity to use it as fertilizer.
But in some places it is needed, be.
cause there is none OF it in the soil,
and this explains why it has been
found so useful to all kinds OF crops.
1t can do no harm anyway, and thus it
is advisable to apply it occasionally,
especially for grass, cabbages, all
kinds of roots, oats and wheat. Clover
is also benefited by it. The usual
quantity applied is from 200 to 600
pounds an acre, in the spring, as soon
as the growth starts. New Yolk Times.

piled. Some one brought glass of brandy
and putt TO his lips. He shook his head and
murmured, "Let mo die before you give me
