The Farmer and Temperance.

The farm ought to be the home Of the
temperance sentiment Of the country. for
we who live in the country, removed from
the city's and towns temptations, can more
clearly sec the folly OF tho alcohol habit
than people who have lived so long with
The brewery and groggery under their very
poses that they have become Injured to theft
ofTensiveness.
But from a purely practical point Of view.
al questions Of right and wrong aside, we
ought to be "dead-set" against the Honor
interest, from the fact that 1t is the great
disturber Of business. II the millions OF
dollars now spent for drink, that ought to
go to supplying poor mems families with
food and clothing and fuel, were spent as
they ought to be, there would be home mar
kets for all that we could raise, and "over-
production would be a thing unheard of.
An official inquiry made by the Massa-
chusetts Bureau OF Statistic OF Labor into
the relation Of h liquor traffic to pauper-
ism, crime and insanity, has brought out
some interesting facts. As to the insane,
so far as can be escertained, seven out OF
every ten had intemperate parents, and
one out Of every four was believed to have
been made insane by his W Incorporate
habits.
OF all the paupers Of the State institu-
lions, three out OF every four were addicted
to the use of liquor, Inc nearly one-hali
mad incorporate parents. VI oil the ar
rests for crime during the year, two-thirds
were for drunkenness. Taking into account
all kinds Of crimes, in about eight and one
half cases In every ten the Incorporate
habits of the offender led to q condition
which induced the crime; and, excluding
minors, ninety-six OF every one hundred
persons convicted Of crime were addicted
to the use of liquor.
Massachusetts, has a local option law, I'M
der which the cities and towns vote annu-
ally upon the licensing of saloons. One
branch of the bureaus investigation was
directed to ascertaining the relative amount
Of drunkenness in places where the saloons
were closed, and In those where they were
open. In the no Teens cities and towns
the arrests for drunkenness were only
about ~one-fourth, and for offenses other
than for drunkenness, less than half as
many per thousand of the population as In
license cities and towns. In tho five cities
which were for a part of the year under no
license, the licensed months showed nearly
three times rs many arrests for drunken
ness, on the average, as the no license
months.
These statistics, taken as q whole, seem
not only to establish q close connection be
tween the liquor traffic and crime, pau.
perism and insanity, but to show also a con-
siderable curtailment Of these evils whep
the saloons are closed.-Farm News.

The Formulation of the World.

II
Though the total population Of the
world is now put down as $500, 000,-
900, we have to bear in mind that it is
to some extent founded on rough esti-
mates. Some would doubt whether
the number of heather is really so
large as it is sometimes thought to be,
or that the pagan population increases
at the rate supposed to be the case.
The estimates for China differ some
what widely; while famines, epidemics,
civil war, infanticide, etc, occasion
great mortality. The probable popu-
lation of the world has for long been
O subject of debate. In the last CEN
fury Voltaire thought that 1000 mil
lions was not an excessive estimate,
but Volney fifty years later would not
allow that there was more than 437
millions. Then, in the early years OF
Queen Victoria's reign, Bergnaus cal
culated the total at 1872 millions, but
his contemporary, Balbi, made it no
more than 739 millions.
The subject is confessedly one of diff
ficulty, and such eminent authorities
on the subject as Benin and Wagner, in
1880, calculated the total at /, 456, 900,
600, and some OF the other items conse.
quently less, but the Jews, 1000, DOC
more; Protestants, $50, GOO, 900; the
Greek or Eastern Church, ITO, 900, 900
Roman Catholics, 231, 600, 900; Jews,
1000, 900; Mohammedans, COZ, 900,
900; heathens, 1876, 900, 900.
There are about 1000, 900 of native
Christian converts. 1t is estimated
that the natural increase of the heather
in the course of a century has been
200, 900, 900, and during the same
period the numerical increase of native
Christians has been such that the tota'
is now 5000, 900. The proportion Of
foreign missionaries to native convert.
is one to 1000, and it is urged that the
proportion should be increased to one

The Cumberland Valley Lutheran Sum
day School Convention.

Through the kindness of college
classmate, Mr.. c. j. Reddig, and his
family, of Shippensburg, Pa, we had
the pleasure of attending the first con-
vention OF the Lutheran Sunday
schools of the Cumberland Valley Pa. !,
held in that town Thursday, June "a,
'o7. The exercises were held in the
handsome Lutheran church. A very
excellent programme was prepared
and the topics timely and ably dis
cussed. Several papers presented de-
serve greater publicity in the religious
journals and papers Of the church.
The attendance was large and a very
deep interest was manifested.
We were pleased to meet SO many
old friends, active ministers of the
church, and to make the acquaintance
of earnest lay workers in the Sunday
school cause. The Lutheran churches
and Sunday schools of the Cumber-
land Valley are up-t o-date in methods
of work, study of the Bible and benev-
olence, Through such gatherings the
very best aud latest topics and meth
DDS of improvement and development
are considered and studied. Each del
egate and visitor was presented with
pretty badge of ribbon stamped.
Young ladies acted as ushers and
pages. The good people of the burg
kindly entertained all who came. The
work of this convention cannot be but
a blessing in various ways tothe Sun
day schools of this valley.
Every conference of the synods of
our church should organize conference
or district Sunday school conventions.

Then mother trims them round about,
And William puts them on.
When Williams legs too long have

The trousers fail to hide 'em;
So Walter claims them for his own
And slows himself inside EN-.

And, when they won't stretch tighter.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo,
writes: "For six years / have been
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. G.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.Sn
and laying aside deep-rooted preIu-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before l had used one bot
lie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
l would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.
