Great Salt lake IS receeding on ac- count of the excessive drains made upon it by irrigation enterprises. This lake is not fed by underground springs; but by the Jordan and other rivers, and when the waters of these streams are interrupted for ir- rigation purposes the water supply of the Salt lake is, of course, di- unfinished so that the evaporation which is constantly going on is not made up by a new supply. In time it looks as fl the lake will be only a bed of dry salt.

The Uses OF Zinc.

The largest consumers of zinc are
the manufacturers of galvanized iron
work. Then come the brass founders,
for zinc is an important element in
brass alloys, and large quantities are
used in the sheet form and as an ele-
ment in galvanic batteries. Zinc is
put under stoves and is used to line
bathtubs.
Great quantities Of the ore are used
also to make zinc white. or zinc oxide,
for paint, but this is made direct from
the ores and is not materially affected
by the present rise of values, the zinc
oxide having gone up only about half
a cent pound in price. OF this the
United States imported at one time
about 80, 900 barrels a year. Now we
can export it as we do the metal and
ore. Our exports Of the ore were
only $4,000 pounds in 1895, but last
year rose to 81, ,040, 900 pounds, while
our exports of pig rose in the same
period from about 5000, 900 pounds
to 21, 600, O,O0O.-New York Sun.

Marriage Increasing in England.

Great Britain is fourishing. The
sure test is the marriage record shown
in the Registrar Generals annual re :
port just issued, in which it appears
that the rate is higher than it has been
in twenty-one years. The Registrar
points out that marriage rate usual
ly keepsin close touch with the value
of British exports and imports, and
the price of wheat. Up goes trade,
and up goes the marriage rate! Not
exactly romantic, but eminently prac-
tical. It seems that widowers have
been in greater demand than widows,
for SO out 100 of the men married in
the course of the year were widowers,
whereas only SO out of 1000 of the
women who married were widows.
Nearly half of the bachelors and
spinsters were married between the
ages of 81 and 25. The favored age
for the re-marriage of widows and
widowers was between 35 and 40. In
one out of every 100 of the marriages,
husband and wife could neither read
nor write, and signed the certificate
with their mark. New York Press.

Whisky in Africa.

The white men at Lagos, West Africa,
are SO indignant over the assertion OF Bish-
op Tugwell that three-fourths OF the
deaths of Europeans on the coast is due to
drunkenness, that they threaten to make
him suffer for his language IL they can find
remedy in the courts. The Bishop would
probably plead that he told the truth.
Many men who are temperate in all things
undoubtedly meet an untimely end on the
African coasts, and those who deal with
vital statistics should carefully refrain
from remarks that may seem to reflect un-
Justly upon their memories. But the very
fact that seasoned imbtbers on the Guinea
coast, the Congo and elsewhere are prone
to inculcate the pernicious idea that latter
all, there is nothing like whisky to cure
African fever" makes 1t all the more COM
mendable to emphasize the undoubted
truth that whisky claims great many vic
tins in Africa.
When Mr.. Stanley wrote about class Of
persons whom he called "gin and whisky
topers on the Niger and the Congo" their
immunity from fever. he said, was not due
to their devotion to whisky but to their
expertness in the art of doing nothing. "a
few hours hard work or marching in the
interior would lay the lazy lion as low as a
dead donkey" The mischief they do grows
out OF the assurance they persistently give
to youthful enthusiasts, newly arrived from
Europe, that whisky is the best remedy for
all African ills. Bishop Tugwell is only one
of many men who have found 1t necessary
to combat such pernicious and semi-maud-
lin advice.
Africa, like all regions newly opened to
enterprise, attracts its full share OF what
Mr.. Noble, In his book on African missions.
calls ''the moral scum of civilization" and
the best authorities on tropical hygiene say
that these men Of irregular habits are easy
victims as a rule to the diseases peculiar
to warm climates. This hes been notori-
ously the case in Africa. Military COM
manders, and the companies owning many
trading posts along the coasts, have
learned to know the great difference, in
their efficiency and chances OF living, be-
tween the habitual imbiber and the sober,
earnest worker. E. G. Ravenstein, who has
written as strongly as any one about Africa
as "the white mans grave" admits that
''the climate is too often blamed for NOR
tality that is in q large measure due to
dissolute life." Stanley wrote that "on
the Congo the very atmosphere seems
fatally hostile to men who pin their faith
to whisky, gin and brandy" Recent writers
on health conditions in Africa, such as Fell
kin and others, advise white men to OBJ
serve the strictest temperance and drop all
thoughts of tonics.
Bishop Tugwell has slandered neither
the dead nor the living in calling attention
to the fact that the evil effects Of intemper-
ance are far more potent and deadly II.

England q Drinking Nation.

1t will be somewhat of revelation to
searn that England is the most drunken
nation in the world.
A recent official statement got up by the
English Government has opened the eyes
of the people OF the island to the fact that
great deal OF missionary work is needed
at home. The figures collected show that
Of beer England drinks 30.3l gallons per
head per annum, America 1920, Germany
$3.50, France $40. In the drinking OF
wines, England falls little to the rear, her
consumption being SO gallons per head per
annum, America "A, Germany 1.34 and
France 21.80. But 1t is when we come tc
spirits that England forges ahead once
more, with record of 102 gallons pei
head, America "a and Germany and France
both 1.89.
The grand total shows that England
stands far ahead as the leading drinking
nation. England's total consumption is
81.72 gallons. Americas 19.48, Germany's
2S.73, Frances 28.70. While the drinking
OF wine in England Is constantly decreas.
ing, the drinking of spirits and beer in.
creases In equal proportion.
A gratifying feature OF these figures Is
the development that the United States
stands last In this unsavory procession, her
consumption OF liquor being less than one
half OF that Of Europe's most temperate
nations.

{ was lounging, one night, in the lobby
OF our beautiful new hotel;
mingling OF varied music
On my sensitive hearing fell;
guest, who was tired and homestcks
Was strumming reverie
On the keys of the grand piano
In the foyer, over me.
From the poolroom there came through
The clack Of the cue and the ball;
From the barroom the clinking Of glasses,
Bearing trouble enough for all;
The humming Of conversation
Mid the travelling men about,
Gave tenor and bass to the chorus
Sweet music beyond doubt.
Near by-I could see meath my hat rim
Stood lad OF the drummer stamp;
It needed no close inspection.
To see he was new in the camp.
He was young. even boyish; was lonely;
Far from home, and twas Saturday

Dead ripe for the voice OF the tempter,
And needing the courage to fight.
Just then chance acquaintance
With laughing and jesting throng;
As they passed toward the barroom, one
whispered:
''Say, pardner, comet won't you go 'longT
So eager was I, leaned forward
To catch all his answer low;
And my heart sang hymn as my drummer
Said: "No, thank you, friends, I can't 60. p
The piano still sang in the foyer;
Still clattered the cue and the ball;
The glasses still clinked in the barroom,
Luring many a man to his fall;
The hum of the trav'lers continued
As they chattered in accents low;
But sweetest OF all the music,

There Is not another agent that more ef-
fectually hardens the heart OF men who in

To Hasten the Ripening of Tomatoes

To Hasten the Ripening of Tomatoes
The ripening of tomatoes may be
fastened considerably by tying the
plants to- stakes and pruning of the
sprouts which come up around the
base of the plants, the object being to
get the fruit from the first blooms and
not allow the lower branches, or
sprouts, which come up later, to pro-
duce fruit, says an exchange. By
keeping off these sprouts the entire
strength of the plant is thrown into
the upper part.
The plants should be tied to stakes
at once, and as they grow the tying
should be repeated. 1t will be noticed
that the first blooms appear at the
tops of the plants, and the aim should
be to give the fruit which sets from
these the full strength Of the plant
Sprouts will soon appear near the
ground, and these must be broken off
promptly and kept off during the en-
tire season. 1t is not necessary to
pinch the tops of the plants in any
way, but as they grow up keep them
tied to the stake, which needs to be
about five feet high
Ordinary tomatoes can be grown In
this manner from two to three weeks
earlier tina nif the plants were allowed
to fall over on the ground. In giving
the foregoing advice the Ohio Farmer
adds that early varieties should Of

sections of Florida the farmers are
planting caSSava, while factories are
springing up for converting the tuber
into marketable products. Eustis can
have factory of the farmers will CO.
operate and interest themselves in this
important matter
G. d. Jackson, who is one of Eustis'
citizens Of means, made the statement
this week that if the farmers near
Eustis would plant 200 acres in cassa-
va that he would guarantee the cree
ton of factory here and guarantee to
purchase the cassava at the price of
$3.50 per ton. No time should be lost
IN looking into this matter and acting
upon this proposition. Just how much
cassava can be made ON an acre varies
with the conditions which obtain.
-Four tons is a low yield and there
should be no trouble in averaging
eight tons. With 200 acres averaging
even six tons to the acre at $3.50 per
ton would mean $1,000 a year for the
farmers of this section. This beats
raising wheat or corn, twice over
