The Temperance Movement Preventive.

The temperance movement at the present
time is both reformatory and preventive
reformatory inasmuch as 1t seeks to re-
claim from the control OF drunkenness
those who have fallen into that abhorrent
vice; and preventive in that 1t endeavors
to preserve as total abstainers those who
have not, as yet, yielded to the seductions
OF liquor.
Much attention was at one time given to
the reformatory phase OF the question; but
prevention being, according to the adage,
better than cure, the work OF temperance
organizations now seems to be mainly
directed towards enisting In the cause
boys and girls and men and women who
have never tnsted liquor. This does not
imply, however, q lack or loss OF interest
in the work OF inducing drunkards to give
up their evil habit, but 1t shows that the
temperance workers have learned from ex-
perience that the main hope OF the move
ment is in the young, and In those who
have never forged even the first link OF
chain that binds so many.
1t is the aim OF the temperance movement
to draw within the sphere OF its influence
all such abstainers, and to so instruct and
guide them that they will remain free from
the taint OF the liquor habit through theil
lives, being thereby examples OF sobriety
and clean living to all. And while eagerly
welcoming into the various temperance
| organizations those who desire to amend
their lives, as regards drinking to excess
| 1t Is as a preventive that the temperance
movement will achieve its greatest success

An oaI Tree 10000 Years Old.

An extraordinary discovery, and
ono which is just now exciting con-
siderable interest in antiquarian
circles in Lancashire and Cheshire,
has been made at Stockport. During
the excavation of sewage works for
the town some workmen came across
what has since proved to be massive
oak tree, with two immense branches.
Professor Boyd Dawkins, the we'll
known antiquary, is of opinion that
the tree is one of the giants of pre-
historic times, and he says that the
tree is certainly 10000 years old. The
corporation of Stockport is at loss
what to do with the gigantic fossil,
which is supposed to weigh about
forty tons.-London News.

Usually when corn-cutting time
comes, everybody seems to be in a
hurry. and, unless one has his extra
help secured in advance, he will be
liable to have to postpone his work
nntil other farmers in his neighbor-
hood are done, and then no doubt
suffer great loss either from overripe-
ness, frost, rain or all three combined.
Corn fodder, if secured when it is
in its best condition, is almost as good
As hay for cattle aud sheep; and for
milch cows there is no other feed that
[ have ever tested equal to it.
Just as soon as the corn is well in
the dough it is ripe enough to cut.
Some farmers let their corn stand till
the stalks get dead-ripe before cut
ting. Corn thus cared for may be
a little heavier after it is husked lat
least it is so claimed by some), but

Free silver Dies.

In either one of two ways the election
will kill silver. twill frighten the pop
ocrats into dropping it in 1900, or it
will render them desperate, impel them
to cut loose from the east, which has
abandoned them, and force them to
make last rally on that issue. In
either case silverism has got its death
blow. On that issue every state east Of
the Alleghenies is as solidly republican,
as Pennsylvania or Massachusetts.
Moreover, the west, as the recent re
turns show, is breaking away from the
base money party, and Gun never be re-
lied on again to roll up majority for
the sixteen to one folly. 1t can never
poll as many votes again as it cast in
1896. The "6,5OO,O0O" have dropped to
low figures. Bryan's dupes have learned
something in the past two years. II

An Artistic Landsman Gets Some
Pointers from the jolly Sea
ROvers.

The sailor man, when in deep water, can
not conceal the feeling of superiority with
which he regards the untarred landlubber.
Some of the noncombatants who sailed the
gulf and the Caribbean during the war
learned to keep an eye on the mariners, and
others gained painful experience before they
got their sea legs.
An artist who boarded grimy tugboat
clad in white linen found his coat covered
with coal dust when he was day from port
and decided to wash it. He filled bucket
with sea water and fell to work. When he
had scrubbed the garment for 20 minutes he
was satisfied.
Then it occurred to him to starch the coat
pockets. He did so, and pulled out-his gold
watch.
He was perturbed. The crew laughed and
he rebuked them. They bided their time.
Then one of them told the artist that the
proper way toTestore the coat to its normal
color was to tie line to it, heave it over
board and tow it for few hours. The artist
did so.
When he went below deck hand hauled
the coat aboard, united the line and hiding

When the owner of the coat pulled in his
