THE GOSPEL DONE IN WATER
COLORS.
BY Rev. 5, B. Dunn

ny rev. = Is. Dunn.
To be graphic one must sometimes be
para graphic; and this is meant to be
word for Gospel Temperance.
a whole gospel includes, as one phase
of it, temperance gospel.
That is a picturesque term of st.
Peters where he speaks of "the mani
fold graces of God''-the n,any.colored,
Uariegated grace of God. Ours, then, is a
variegated gospel. And | think one i'm
portant aspect of it has a decidedly
watery tint in its teachings on temper
ance Perhaps it may be put this way
Simple preaching is the gospel done in
crayon; practical Christianity is the Cos
pei done in oil-oil like the Good Sam
aritan's, for instance; while the temper
ance reform is the gospel done in water
colors.
What | would like to see, from pulpit,
platform and periodical, Is, not less
, crayon work, nor less painting in oil,
but more masterpieces in water-colors
Gospel temperance work wrought in
prayer and faith and love would bring
larger results than we now see. Polti-
cal temperance has its time and place,
of course, but 1t has got to be preceded
by gentle instruction and persuasion
and temperance gospel. Water-colors
are most likely to win rather than the
fierier tInts, at least at first. The man is
color blind, 1t seems to me, who canno;
see this.
The only cure for the drink curse is
the Water Cure. 1t was drastic rem
edy for moral evil at the deluge, but it
did the work. And cold water in the
form of temperance is what is wanted
now. If the Water Cure fail, God may
have recourse to the Caustic Cure as he
did at Sodom, and burn out the evil in
judgments.
a recent discovery of science is what
is called the Color Cure. 1t is claimed
that colors have therapeutcal power,
Crimson, for instance, cures melanchoia,
and blue is soothing and quoting to
acute mania
y kindred discovery is that plant
growth is susceptible to the influence of
different colors. Red rays, for example
are said to have more momentum, pene-
trate further, and are more favorable to
plant life and growth
Without pronouncing upon the merits
of these alleged discoveries in science. /
am satisfied that nothing car surpass the
therapeutical power and friendly in
fluence of the gospel done in water.
colors. Ii cures the alcoholic habit. 1t
will recover the world from its historic
fit of falling sickness, or do much to-
wards it.. 1t will contribute generously
and eflectually towards the races growth
in virtue, and it will help prevent many
of the dire results of intemperance
Whenever that inartistic work of paint
ing a town red has been wrought, it has
never been done in water-coors. Red
rum has done it and not temperance.
incidentally may add, wouldn't thi:
water-color method make temperance
more attractive to the popular mind
Temperance is hardly dry subject; and
yet it seems to be dry and unattractivt
to many. The artist that can make
temperance interesting-that shall wiz
the eye and chain the thought-will have
won more than half the battle Tor s

EARLY GARDEN ROP
Seed Should BE Sown as Soon rs the
Ground Can BE Worked.

ScON SANoNAN nv wv 90 SOoh 49, AAS
Ground Can BE Worked.
There are a number of vegetables
that car be sown as early i'll the spring
as the condition of the soil will adj
Ilit. They start to grow early and will
supply salads and early vegetables IN
good season. To secure the best re-
suits all preparatory work should he
done in advance, 50 hat at the first ia
vordble opportunity the planting can
be done.
There is no advantage in attempting
to make the garden until the soil is
i'll condition to be worked readily into
a fine filth. But it is well to have every
thing in readiness. Ono item is thor
oughly to pIov the ground. Soil that is
well plowed and well drained will not
only dry put earlier, but will warm up
quicker than if left undisturbed until
sDTing. 1t is always best to pillow deep
and thorough, and in finishing, run out
burrows wherever necessary to pro-
vide good drainage.
Whatever manuring is necessary can
also be done during the winter. The
manure used in the garden should be
thoroughly rottCd and refined, for tv o
lessons. One is that this condition is
necessary, so that it can be well in
corporated with the soil. The other is
that in order to be available the plan:
food in the manur or fertilizer must
be soluble, and rotting and filming are
essential in making it easily soluble.
Another advantage in rotting the ma
lure is that any weed seeds it may con-
tain will be destroyed. 1t pays to ma
Eurc literally. There is little danger
OF having the soil too rich. \ good
rich soil, thoroughly prepared, is one
of the first essentials in having a good
garden.
Another thing that can be looked aft
er in advance is the seed. Good seed
is another essential to a good crop of
any kind, and for the early garden It is
necessary to secure what is needed ir
coed season.
In making up the list it is always best
to rely upon old standard varieties for
the main crop, trying novelties OF a
small scale until their value is ascer-
tanned. 1t is well to remember that the
extraordinary growth and yield Sc
cured with many novelties are the re-
suit of the most favorable conditions
Of growth, and that varieties that do
well in n locality and kind of soil
often prove failures when grown under
entirely different conditions.
Dc not get OF many varieties. With
quite a number, II early and one late
suffice, while in some cases it Will be
better to have an early, medium and
late, in order to maintain a supply with
TIM least trouble.

In a recent issue of the North Ameri.
can Review Prof. Thurston discussed
man as Il motor and trisS TO estimate
his force. He is 4 heat engine in which
combustion takes place at 4 singularly
low temperature. The steam motor and
gas motor acts through variations OF
temperature, but the man motor Is
throughout of a pretty uniform temper
sture-about %. He transforms energy
by processes different from those OF
other motors, by processes not yet un
derstood. Considering the amount OF
fuel, or food, consumed by a man, he
has, for outside work at least, the eff
cheney of the best steam engines. He
EQUALS the pest engine in the supply of
energy he gets out of a given quantity
of fuel. The man motor consumes daily
a quantity of food equivalent dynamic
ally to a pound of coal, or one-fifth of 4
horse power for "a hours. Aday's work
is about one-eighth of a horse power
for eight hours. The animal machine
utilities one-fifth of the energy supplied
to it-as does the best steam engine.
But the man motor does more. The
brain works as well as the muscles. Di-
gestion, respiration and circulation,
and the construction and repair of It's
sue all consume energy. Itfollows that
the mar motor gets out much nor
than 20 per cent. of the energy stored up
in his fuel. Experiments by Hirn with
respect to the heat of the body suggest
that the animal engine shows results
for as much as 80 per cent. of the theo-
reticaI maximum.-Baltimore Sun.
