Folly of Marrying a Man to Eject Hi.
Reform.

Folly of Marrying q Man to Eject His
Reform.
One of the saddest things in life is to
see young girl throw her life away by
marrying a man to reform him. Not
one in a hundred is made any better bv
marriage, though for a time there may
be semblance of reform. How often
have you seen a drunkard's home, a
drunkard's wife and children, and have
looked with more scorn than pity, per-
haps, upon them, never dreaming that
such a fate could be yours. Girls, Just
such fate awaits you if you marry
moderate drinker, for the moderate
drinker is sure to become the immoder-
ate drinker. If you marry man and he
becomes Incorporate after marriage,
you are guiltless of wrong, and God pity
ell such. But if you deliberately marry
a man who has formed the liquor habit
you are criminally foolish, for you not
only throw away your own chance OF
happiness, but will bring children into
the world with an inherited appetite
for strong drink, and the sins of the
father will be'visited on the children.
One year ago two bright, sweet girls,
one 20 and the other "a (both old
enough to know better), married men
who were confirmed in the drink habit.
and before the freshness was worn from
their bridal garments their husbands
were brought home drunk The par

Some years ago Rev. f. Klumph, now

seated in a village store, accosted sa-
loonkeeper with the remark:

Speaking of
Quality

The difference in cost between using
Worcester Salt-the standard for dairy-and the
very cheapest is about one cent in every fifty bomuds
of butter made The chance of loss in expert
menting with the cheap salt would be from fifty
cents to one dollar, and possibly more. Is the
saving (?) of one cent with chance of one dollar
loss wise speculation? We leave the answer
with the daryman, believing he will decide to use
the best dairy salt known to the civilized world

Eels Are a MYSIerY.

How eels reproduce Is Il mystery which
naturalsts have not solved, the general
opinion being that even fresh water eeis
will spawn only in sea water. Dr. Imhofr'
however. inclines to n different theory
The experiment was made fourteen years
ago of putting eels into three little Alpine
lakes without outlets in the Grisons in
Switzerland. In two of the lakes the eeis
died out, but in the Cauma See they have
flourished, although no additions to the
stock have been made since 1897, some OF
them being four and a half feet long.
The original cells must be nine years ola
at least, but as there are many young eeis
of both sexes in the lake, the eeis must
have multiplied In the lake itself. The
Ciuma See is $500 feet above sea level,
has no apparent outlet, and is fed by
subterranean springs, so that it seems
difficult for young eecls to have gotten
into it by natural imnigrstion--Ex

Ne,c ioFA, JJHFHdf
A clock that is regulated by a geyser
has been constructed by a Nevada i'll

best maker of timepicces in the wor.4

All there Is of machinery about the
clock is n face. hands. and lever. This s,
as tod, connected with n great geyser.
from which shoots column OF hot water
every tnirty-eiGht seconds. Perhaps the
most curious thing about this combina-
iion OF nature and mechanism is that the
spouting OF hot water never varies n
tenth OF 4 second.
The only difference between this CLOCK
and any other in the registering OF the
flight OF time isthat the hands move thirty
eight seconds at once. the period that
