TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.

There never was a COW that gave milk
punch.
What a world of misery and crime will
vanish with the saloon.
1t was Cardinal Manning who said: "Tom-
peranee is good; total abstinence is better"
Some there are who say that drink gives
them an appetite. And SO it does-an appe-
tite for drink.
The Temperance Cause expresses it in this
way; "The victim rolls in the gutter, and
thesaloon keeper in wealth"
Temperate people do not seek to DO the
saloon man harm. Their struggle is TO pre-
vent him from doing Others harm.
Human slavery. TO destroy which men
rushed to arms in 81, has its counterpart to-
day inthe slavery of the Will to the drink
evil.
William E. Gladstone remarked the other
day that he was proud Of the TACT that he had
never been addicted to the use Of wine to-
bacco or any other stimulant.
Women are forbidden TO enter saloons at
Astoria, Oregon, by city ordinance passed
q few days ago, which also provides for the
punishment Of women who violate the ordi-
nance.
DIR. Hancock, OF Lodonia, Texas, pre-
scribed whisky for some men, and twenty
highly respected women" captured him, gave
him 500 lashes with cowhides and ran him
out Of town.

Turkish Theory Of Practice.

A Turkish physician once called in
to attend an upholsterer very i'll with
typhus fever gave him up for lost, but
passing the house next day found him
still alive and on the mend. On in
quiry. he found that the patient, in
his consuming thirst, had swallowed a
pailful of the juice of picked cabbage.
Called in subsequently to attend a
dealer in embroidered handkerchiefs
i'll of the same disease, he prescribed
at once the juice OF picked cabbage.
The next day the man was dead,
whereupon the doctor entered in his
notebook the following memorandum !:
"While picked cabbage juice is a
very efficient remedy in cases of
typhus, it is not to be used unless the
patient be, by profession, an uphols'
terer. ."--Pittsburg Dispatch.

RHuBARB AS A VEGETABLE.

After the rhubarb has served its
purpose by giving us its leaf stalks in
early spring, it often throws up IN
immense bunch OF flowers. An Eng
lish writer states that if this head of
flowers is cut off, and treated like
caulihower, it is just as good aud de-
sirable. One would suppose that there
was something of the acid taste of the
stalks in this flower head; but this
writer says not. Many plants have q
great difference between the elements
in their flowers or fruit and the
leaves. We can, for instance, eat a
tomato, and find it both healthful
and agreeable; but if we were to
venture to eat handful OF tomato
leaves, they would probably be the
end of us. Those who are on the
lookout for new vegetables might,
however, make trial of the rhubarb
flowers. 1t may be noted that the
tomato is very closely related to the
tobacco, and equally poisonous with
that celebrated plant. - Meehan's
Monthly,

THE VALUE OF THE ARr1cHoKE.

The plant going by the common
name of the artichoke is not the real
artichoke, garden vegetable, having
large, thick, heshy heads, that are
cooked and eaten much in the same
way as the caulifower is. The arti-
choke referred to is a species of the
sunhower family, and has flower like
a small sunfower growing at the top
of tall, thick stem. The root is
tuberous and grows deeply in the soil.
1t is eaten as the potato is and resem-
bles that tuber quite closely. 1t is,
however, of much less value than the
potato, as the tubers grow too deeply
to be gathered, except by digging with
a spade. Many attempts are con-
stantly made by dishonest persons to
mislead the public that is not aware of
the facts into spending money for
seed under grossly inaccurate state
ments of its value. 1t is worthless for
all practical purposes, and, worse, for
once planted it occupies the ground
permanently as a pernicious weed, the
tubers lying too deeply in the ground
to be got out, making the plant grow
year after year in spite of efforts to
eradicate it. 1t is in no sense of the
word a substitute for the potato. -

GODS FooTSTOOL FREEl
nn1NK1Na on THE DECLINE.


Never in the history OF the world has so
much pressure been brought to bear against
intemperance as now. In this country and
in Great Britain tho temperance organizl-
uons have become very powerful. Even
Emperor William has advocated move
against in,emperance in Germany. The
French Assembly has instituted temperance
legislation, and the agitation has almost
reached the rum and tea besotted boors Of
Russia.
Seeing this, many people tako it for
granted that intemperance was never so rife
in the world as now, says the Saturday Even
ing Gazette. This notion is quite false, how
ever for statistics and % perusal OF the social
memoirs OF q century and more ago abroad
plainly show that, especially in the brutal
phases OF drinking, there has been almost a
transformation. Il was n proud boast in the
days OF Gibbon that an English gentleman
could consume pint OF brandy at a single
sitting, and in the days OF Sheridan the man
who could not dispose Of his four plnts OF
port In an evening was hardly regarded as n
imam of spirit" At the famous literary
gatherings Of the last century in London the
regular duty of the night porter at the clubs
was to go the rounds in the early hours OF
the morning and "loosen the gentlomen's
neckties" for those who were found snoring
in the various places in the apartments.
Henry Buckle, the historian OF English civ
ilization, draws frlghtful picture OF the
drunkenness OF the masses in the last and
previous century, such occasions rs execu-
tions on the public squares being attended
by disgusting carnivals Of intoxication.
Statistics evidence that intemperance has
diminished in England neary forty per cent.
as compared with earlier periods One Of
the court cronies of the Great Elector OF
Prussia, rs related by Carlyle, chose to be
buried publicly in gin puncheon, ms n mark
of his devotion to ardent spirit, and the cere-
mony wns not in the least shocking to pub
lie sentiment. An excessive drinker like
those Of other days is now decidedly n
marked man in more senses than one, and
the amount OF liberation accorded him in So
ciety is at low notch. Whatever suppress
sion may have done to decrease drunkenness.
the chief instrumentality has been general
refinement and higher moral sense in tho
community, silent forces that belle the fore
bodings of the pessimist.

MATING STRAWBERRY PLANTS.

When planting strawberries in the
spring it is important, if the pestilato
varieties are used, that the staminate
varieties, which will be needed to fer
tilize them, should blossom at the
samo time. There is a difference of
two or three weeks in tho time when
strawberry plants blossoms, and if an
early postilate and late hormaphrodite
variety are planted side by side it may
result in a great many of the stamens
aborting and producing no fruit.

Charlotte COrday's Skull.

Charlotte Corday's skull is believed
TO be in the possession of Prince
Roland BonapaIte, who obtained il
from NJ. Duruy, the person who estab,
lished the authenticity of Richelieu's
skull, which some time ago was re.
placed in the tomb in the Sorbonne,
from which it was stolen during the
revolution. The Corday skull was
probably procured from Samson, the
executioner; 1t was sold with docu.
ments establishing its authenticity.

Beautiful Though Painful.

We sing "Come, Gentle Spring." and are
often very sorry that we did anything of the
kind. for Spring, though beautiful, is some
times very painful. The very luxury we en-
Joy In the return OF the balmy air is the
latent source OF great many pains and
aches. 1t is because the nerves are relaxed
in this way that they become weak and an
easy prey to sudden attacks Of neuralgia; d
tonic of cold, healthful air braces them up
and makes them strong against any such at
tack, but the sudden change to warmth
makes them liable to be preyed upon by this
disease. For this simple reason the great
nerve disorder has many victims at this time,
but we have in st. Jacobs Oil something that
restores the tone, vigor and strength of the
nerves to what they had been. The prompt
use Of IL in these neuralgia attacks of spring
time Is sure to be followed by perfect cure.
