Temperanee News and Notes.

Temperance helps to remove temptation.
Body and soul are benefited by abstinence
from liquor.
Scientific temperance is taught in the
boys and girls colleges at Conception,
Chill, and the young people are greatly in
terested.
Temperance reform is one of the most
urgent Of national remedies, because in
temperance is one of the most dangerous
Of national evils.
Ones own self-interest demands temper
anee; besides which, the good example
shown to others will undoubtedly influence
some in the right direction.
Why should man be discouraged be-
cause in the battle with his appetites he Is
made cogDizant of his weakness? Has he
not the weapon OF prayer 20 overcome the
enemies of his soulY
Every coming day is a new leaf of the
book Of life, white and unspotted. Let II
not be stained with drunkenness.
1t is an alarming and diseouraging fact
that in the homes Of too many of our peo.
pie the drink curse is not properly dreaded
and the vice above all vices that is directly
hOstileto our religion Of restraint and self
denial is not regarded with the horror that
il deserves.

"The serious difficulties surrounding the
wage-earning classes suggest practical
work to our tot II abstinence societies."
says Father Cleary, OF Minneapolis. ",rhe
sacred rights of labor we're never In more
serious danger than in our day. The dis
tresses OF the poor combine to dispel from
their minds earnest convictions on the du-
ties OF the laboring classes. Working men
besotted by drink are easily robbed OF their
rights. They forfeit in their folly their
due share OF the advantages that modern
Invention and Industrial progress have won
Tor them. Men whose faculties have been
weakened by excessive drinking are inca
pable of defending their rights and unable
to preserve them. The victims OF saloon
environment become easy victims of the
delusive sophistries OF socialism and an
archy. Slaves to the drink habit easily
become unconscious slaves OF unscrupulous
masters who deceive and mislead them into
believing that the avowed enemy Of wealth
is the poor mans friend. Working men
whose earnings support the saloon will
never be capable OF maintaining their
rights nor of performing their duties. Dis
solute habits will infallibly consign the
people to debaslng bondage, dependent
poverty, degrading slavery aud self-con-
tempt Sober men are at least capable OF
receiving salutary lessons, Of giving intel
llgent consideration to the vexatious prob
lens that arise between organized wealth
and organized labor. There Is ALWAYS en-
couraging hope that men who are not be-
sotted by drink can be guided safely in de-
fence OF their right and I'm performance OF
their duties"

In the shnme.racen Land.

The seclusion of women in Korea is
carried to the utmost limit. Ladies
out Of doors wear green mantle
which covers the whole countenance
expect the eyes. Nor do they willing
ly let even their eyes be seen and to
avoid meeting a man they will turn
into the house nearest at hand.
Travellers recount that the women are
taught TO shun the opposite sex from
their earliest girlhood. They are
even exhorted to talk as little as may
be to their own husbands. What is
still more extraordinary is the innate
modesty of the men. This sentiment
implies them to work in jackets and
trousers in the hottest weather: while
the richer classes use kind of bamboo
framework to keep the clothes, other
wise uubearable, from contact with
the skin.

How Many Bees in a oolonyq

How many bees in a colony? de-
pends upon the season of year. How
ever, few hundred bees and a queen
may be called small colony, but
believe an average colony contains
perhaps thirty or thirty-five thousand
bees, aud during the honey season
when they are at their greatest
strength, they may have double the
above number, and when at their
lowest number, which is in late winter,
they may run down to ten thousand,
or much less. To get at any correct
estimate of this is rather difficult, and
many give the average of a fair work
ing colony AT twenty or twenty five
thousand, while some think it possible
for a colony TO reach seventy-five
thousand. agriculture Epitomist.

The latest Partisan novelty is q glass

all the fashion. They are made of
spun glass cloth and are light and
flexible. OF course they afford no pro-

Fiiian Fire-Mnlkers.

Fijian feet can endure more terrible
contact than the blow of hard-hit

which might make the fortune of any
entrepreneur enterprising enough to
bring them over TO the Crystal Palace
or the Westminster Aquarium. They
are called the fire walkers. About
once a year they give on the island Of
M'Buya, about twenty-five miles from
Sava, the Fijian capital, what must be
one of the most extraordinary exhibit

Preservation of Eggs.

The Beiliner Markthallenzeitune
reports about experiments made for
the purpose of securing the most ra-
tional method of preserving eggs.
This being a topic of general interest,
| beg to give hereafter an extract of
the results obtained, as described in
the said journal:
Twenty methods were selected for
these experiments. In the first days
of July 400 fresh eggs were prepared
according to these methods twenty
eggs for each method), to be opened
for 1se at the END OF the month of
February.
OF course, most essential point
for the success of preservation is that
only really fresh eggs be employed.
As the most infallible means of ascer-
tanning the age of the eggs the expert
mentist designated the specific weight
of same. With fresh eggs it is from
107S4 to 1.0942, If the eggs are put
into solution of 120 grammes "a. %
ounces) of common salt in one litre
1.0567 quartsl of water, the specific
weight of which solution is 1.073, all
the eggs that swim on this liquid
weigh less, and consequently are not
fresh. Only those eggs that sink
should be used for preservation.
When, after eight months of preser.
vation, the eggs were opened for use,
the twenty different methods en-
ployed gave the most heterogeneous
results:
~ Egss put for preservation in
salt water were all bad mot rotten,
but uneatable, the salt having pene-
trated into the ys,.
~ Eggs wral ped in paper, eighty
per cent. bad.
(3) Eggs preserved in a solution of
salicylic acid and glycerin, eighty per
cent. bad.
a. Eggs rubbed with salt, seventy
per cent. bad.-From the United

A gentleman will have gentle stock.
Regularity in feeding, both as to
time and quantity and quality of food,
is one of the things that pay
As rule the first 100 pounds OF
sheep and the first 200 of swine costs
less and sells for more than that added
later.
Good feed and plenty of it early in
the life of the animal is what secures
the maximum development and lays
the foundation for future usefulness.
An Iowa stockman claims that Jumps
on the jaws of cattle, particularly those
recently dehorned, are often caused
by vicious iabs given by the sharp
horned youngsters running with the
herd.
George Franklin says the man who
has had a taste of spring lamb, like
the sheep-killing dog, never forgets it,
and he may as well be fed on we'll
cooked saddle-fap as to again go back
to aged mutton.
Lamb-creeps and pig-creeps are
good things in giving the young stock
start in life. You will be surprised
to see how young they will begin to
e6s anu how much they will consume
if the right kind of foods is provided.
A Michigan dairyman writes that by
judicious breeding and feeding and
careful selection by the test, keeping
only the best cows and caring for
them properly, he has in three years
raised the test of his herd from less
than four per cent. to over five per
cent, and reduced the cost of butter
three cents a pound.
There is apparently little foundation
for the claim made by some feeders
that most of the nutriment has been
taken out of the grain which passes
the animal whole; often the loss is
sufficient to twice pay for grinding the
feed. A good farm mill will often pay
for itself in single winters feeding.
The hoofs of the horses must be
kept properly trimmed or they will
grow long and ill-shaped, then per-
haps split; or they will grow long in
lCout, throwing Tue 1OOt Dack upon
the heel, which sometimes sprains
the large tendons of the limbs. Colts
should early be taught to have their
feet handled.
1t doesn't pay to let the hogs sleep
around the straw stack or in the man
ure pile; in fact these are about the
worst possible places for them, on
account-of the dust and dampness and
the foul, heated air out of which they
will rush to their feed and stand in a
zero temperature till thoroughly chill
led, then they begin to die of
cholera(?).
At an institute in Iowa one of the
speakers stated that ensiIage and the
separator had increased his production
of butter to the extent of sixty-tve
pounds per COW per year; another
said the separator had increased his
product by Sl2.5 80 per COW, and that
he could raise the best calves from
separator milk. There is a difference
of opinion regarding the last state
ment, however.

those who suffer pain as to their treatment
and cure, as in the case of lumbago from

muscles. The treatment of such need not
differ one with the other. Both are bad

question. Its efficacy is so sure in either
case there is no difference in the treatment

so very small and so sorrowful, which had
bent over the broken bottle.
Why" he said, "I was looking for pair
OF new shoes. l want a pair OF new shoes
awful bad-all the other chaps wear
shoes"
How came You to think you'd find shoes
in the bottle?" the father asked.

gone 10 the black bottle. and that lots of

and hats, and bread and meat and things,
