Social Drinking.

Sir James Haslett, member of Parliament
for Belfast, speaking at q meeting recently
held In London, presided over by the pres
ent Archbishop of Canterbury, gave the
following important testimony, which we
commend to the statesmen and public men
Of the United States:
MY Lord Bishop, II is with very great
pleasure that l rise to propose that the
best thanks Of this meeting be given to you
for presiding on this occasion. think you
are the right man in the right place The
church must lead IL we are to have
healthy influence in society. AS a stranger
amongst you, have had very great pleas
ure In hearing all that has been said In re-
gard to total abstinence. 1 have never
tasted drink. And, what possibly is not IN
easy matter, l have never offered 1t to
others. The greatest difficulty we have is
in the social intercourse of life-to enter
tain publicly, as public man, without
drinking. SO strong are social habits that
you havo raised against you all the
weapons that satire and evil COM
are called mean and 'niggardly,'
and hundred other things. l think
my lord. that the change must come from
the women. They must act as n lever in
this matter, though / do not know very
well how they are to do 1t. 1t was one OF
my duties, as the Mayor of Belfast, to en-
tertain the representative of royalty. and
1t was difficulty with me how could do
1t without drink, Unfortunately, the Lord
Lieutenant dropped upon me just the week
after Twas appointed. That difficulty was
greater, 1 think, that l might have been
ableto withstand; but had then my wife
with me, and she said, WELL you had bet
ter resign your Office We carried it
through at best we could. trust that the
recollection OF that may still brighten her
life In the other world. But 1t is the Diff
Guilty OF social life that you must seek to
unravel. You cannot do It by legislation.
1 am bound to say that when l waited
upon the Lord Lieutenant and told him
about my difficulty, he said. MY dear fell
low, would only spit upon you II you sac
rllced your principles Lord Londonderry
was too much OF a gentleman to seek that
should In any way lower myself, and felt,
as an old Sabbath-school teacher, working
amongst the young, and addressing meet
lngs all my life, that IL l had then put drink
on the table 1 would have sacrificed all
that had ever done. My Lord Bishop, 1t
Is not an easy thing to act thus. have
passed through q recent election, and my
bitterest enemies were those who sold
drink. 1t has been said in Ireland that the
readiest way to mans intelligence is
through his stomach. II Is wonderful how
kindly we are disposed after we get our
dinner. 1t has unquestionably an immense
influence; and there is a large class In our
country Of whom it may be said that the
readiest way 10 otheirintelligencei is through
glass OF beer or spirits. You have that
to fight against. During my recent con-
test, and during q contest ten years ago,
never had at the election committee meet
ings one drop of strong drink. II we can
not carry an election without 1t, then, in
Gods name let us surrender"

ashort while it will be restored and will

machine. Too much work aud worry are
thrown upon 1t; too much of the heat of
daily cares too much of the steam of daily
business. The nerves become cranky; they
are restless, sleepless and twitchy, and a
neuralgia condition sets in. Pain throws
the machine out of gear and it needs rest
and treatment to strengthen and restore.

How ono Flnrer NnIIs GROW.

The nails of two fingers never grow
with the same degree of rapidity.
The nail Of the middle finger grows
with the greatest rspidity, and that of
the thumb the least It has been
computed that the average growth of
the finger nail is one thirty-second of
an inch per week, or little more than
an inch and half per year. The
growth, however, depends to a great
extent upon the rate of nutrition, and.
during periods of sickness it is re-
tarded.
Authorities differ with regard to the
equality of growth on both hands,
some holding that the nails of tho
right hand grow faster than those of
the left, but others can perceive no
difference between them. According
to the rate Of growth stated, the aver
age time taken for each finger nail to
grow its full length is about four and
half months, and at this rate n wom-
an of seventy would have renewed her
finger nail one hundred and eighty-six
times.

1t is now said that women's hair is
becoming more beautiful in color every
year, and is also growing thicker and
longer. This is said to be due to the
small light bonnets-that women wear.
Certain tits that air and sunshine i'm
prove the color and texture of the hair.
Sun bleaches the hair, and Venetian
beauties always dried their ruddy locks
in the sun, thereby getting that tint
SO much admired called Venetian red.
OF course, sunshine will not bleach
dark hair, but it gives deeper color
to all kinds of tresses and will brighten
dull-brown hair.

a Closed Incident.

So Captain Leonard A. Lowering,
the officer at Fort Sheridan who kicked
and prodded with his sword an OBJ
stinate private soldier, is to be rep
rlmanded." The penalty, to a civ
ilian, seems rather mild, all things
considered, but in reality it is by no
means a light one, and the ends of
justice will probably be met. An Of
fetal reprimand is not easy to bear
when directed at a man of high spirit,
to whom reputation is a matter of i'm
mense consequence. Captain Lover
ing has had his lesson. 1t is not
likely that he will offend again, and as
no doubt he is a good soldier, the in
cident may be regarded as satisfac.

Gently described in she Entomologist.
The cocoon is very hard, and its habit
of jumping about is due to the effort
of the pupa to force its way out This
pupa has a chisel-like head, which il

which escape is possible. The violent
motions of the pupa make the COCOON

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
cnrn Of Grain Drills.

The grain drill is quite too expen-
sive to be allowed TO remain out Of
doors exposed TO the weather when
not in use. II should be carefully
cleaned from oil dirt, and those es-
pecially with fertilizer attachment
should be secured to take off the rust
from use, and then coated with grease
to prevent the air from getting to the
metal. Most grain drills rust out
rather than wear out. They are used,
even where fall grain is sown, only a
few days in the spring and fall, aud
ought to last a lifetime with few re-
pairs, If they are properly sheltered
when not in use. National Cultiva-

Ribbon embroidery is in high favor.
Doeskin gloves are worn with street
gowns
Handsome costumes are much be-
spangled.
Yokes are much worn. They give
this effect of an underbodice.
Ruches for the neck are very full.
The most stylish ones show two colors.
A striking evening fabric is canvas
with phosphoric stripes in metal ef-
feet
Plain and figured velvets are in
brisk demand. Velvet gowns are the
vogue.
Chatelaine bags are of silk in color
to match the gown, and are secured by
gold or silver fastenings.
Roman striped sashes are seen in
many width and colors. Some are
trimmed all round with ruche of
chiffon.
Silk underskirts nre to be had in
Roman stripes. They should be ac-
companied by corsets in solid color or
pure white or black.
A lovely novelty is shoulder cape
for evening wear. 1t is an arrange
ment of white ostrich plumes with boa
ends forming a border.
In millinery, marten, sable and as
trakhan are much used rs borderings
for toques, turbans and capotes which
have full crowns of velvet.
There are some quaint Empire fans
listed among holiday novelties. One
of white gauze has steel paillettes in
close-clustering lines in the form of
of wee stars. A conventional border
is wrought in plain gold sequins. The
ivory mounts are inlaid with gold and
silver.
Some of the prettiest frocks shown
are of gray plaids, made up straight or
with the squares forming diamonds;
small sleeves, with top puff effect,
and a round blouse cut down to show
yoke of plain -colored cloth, braided,
or velvet, with narrow folded belt to
match.
A stylish hat is q sailor shape in
felt, with the brim bound with velvet.
One side of the brim is rolled up to
the crown and holds large bunch of
curled feathers A scarf of velvet
passes around the crown, ending in
bow in front fastened with a ieweled
buckle.
Heliotrope in all shades is popular
| for winter dresses. 1t is combined
with many shades and colors, most of
which are anything but artistic. Hello
trope is at its best with black, white, a
peculiar shade of green very like that
of the elm leaf, and various tints of
yellow.
The fur blouse which will usurp the
place of both bodies and wrap is one
of the leading novelties of the season.
There are likewise fancy blouses for
very youthful wearers. made of Scotch
tartans and plain vivid reds of many
different shades, but somewhat toned
in effect by their velvet trimming.
Little girls are as fond of the Rus
sian blouse as the grown-up ladies'.
Their preference in this respect is
gratified by making up delicious cos
tunes of this nature. Frequently the
blouse forms the outer wrap, and is
trimmed with dainty fur. A fancy
bodice is worn under it with the dress
skirt.
School frocks are a most, perhaps
the most, important factor in a girls
wardrobe, and they must be made of
good serviceable material that will
stand the hard service of daily wear,
says writer in Harper's. A good
plan is to start with two. so that they
can be worn alternately, and, if need
be, more can be added after the Christ
mas holidays. 1t is a most foolish
plan to accumulate many frocks for
any young girl; far better to buy them
when needed.

When the time for putting up pork
approaches the barrels for that pur-
pose should be got out of the cellar
and thoroughly scalded. No beef
barrel should ever be used for pork,
for no matter how thorough the scald-
ing it gets, some germs will remain
and tsint the pork. Where pork has
been kept in good condition the brine
is often used a second time, after
thoroughly boiling it and skimming
off the refuse so long as any appears.
But it is perhaps better to use the
pork brine as fertilizer for quinee
trees, putting one ora two quarts only
around each tree. There is much
nutrition taken from lean pork by the
brine when the pork is salted, and
this is excellent fertilizer for the
ounce. As for the salt in the brine,
that is q solvent of mineral matters in
The soil, and thus helps the ounce

The idea that sheep can be profit
ably raised for their meat alone is
not mistaken one. They can he
reared and placed on the market
cheaper than any other animal. Be
sides all the large markets, their value
in the small meat markets in the thou
sands of little towns and villages where
large animals cannot be offered be-
cause of the limited consumption is be-
coming more and more recognized,
and offers to farmers opportunities for
sale at his own home at satisfactory
prices. This is more done in Eastern
and MidAe States than in Texas, but
Texas towns will also come to this use
of sheep in their home meat markets.
And wool has again become a profit
able product The recent increase in
price has been thirty to thirty-five per
cent, making the sheep highly profit
able again for its fleece alone. Again
the country is stocking up. In many
localities owners will not dispose of
their ewes at all. and probably never
before have offerings of good rams
been saken so readily, Notwithstanding
their advance in price. But it is to be
noted that the breeder now keeps in
view both utilities. He wants a NUT
ton producer as we'll as a wool pro-
ducer, aud it is not likely that he will
ever again handle his flocks with only
one of the values in view. Instead of
the Merino he is buying the Ram
boullet and the Shropshire to mate
with the ewes, for the purpose OF breed
ing sheep that will convert the grasses
of the vast Western ranges and the
foodstuffs of the farm into both wool
and mutton. Texas Stock and Farm
