mortuary records from the last num-

Mrs. Polite Conkling Marshall took
her medicine like a lady, and without a
murmur took the bus and alighted at
the station where each one will find his

Stafford Warner-'Staff,' as every
body has called him for more than so
years, and possibly y75-has laid down his
armor, which was an ak and hoe, and

4 COMPARISON OF LEMONS.
Examina tion by Chemists of Cnlifor-
mia and Sicily Fruit Greatly Fa-
vOrs the Former Fruit,

The New York Journal of Com.
merce prints the following: Reports
giving the comparative citric acid
test by Stillwell and Gladding, chem
lists to the New York produce ex-
change, of selections Of California
and Sicily lemons, have attracted
much attention in green fruit circles.
The comparisons were as follows:
Ninety-one and one-half California
lemons would yielu one United States
gallon of juice.
One hundred and twenty-eight and
one-half Mediterranean lemons would
yield one United States gallon of
juice.
The specific gravity of the juice in
each was 1.041.
Three hundred California lemons
would yield $50 ounces avoirdupois
juice, containing 1854 ounces avoir-
dupois crystal, citric acid.
Three hundred Mediterranean lem
ons would yield 325 ounces avoirdu-
pois juice, containing 1870 ounces
avoirdupois crystal, citric acid.
The criticism of the fruit importers
was chiefly that the date selected for
the test was a most unfair one, in
that it compared Mediterranean fruit
which was among the first of the sea-
son and which had not matured with
California fruit at it's best stage. 1t
is expected that the Fruit Importers
union will take the matter up in the
near future and will probably have
an independent test made.

KIPLING TALKS TEMPERANCE.
English Author Finds Lesson in
the Experience of the Soldiers
in South Africa.

Rudyard Kipling has come out as
strong advocate of temperance
Writing on the subject he says:
$50 far as I could see in South
Africa, it did not matter what sort
OF spirits man fancied, because
there was not the least danger of his
getting more than was good for him.
On the other hand, men who could
do without liquor, who did not fancy
they needed to flood their inside every
two or three hours, got on better than
the men who, through mere physical
incontinence and carelessness, were
constantly sucking their water bot
Ties
I'm this, as in all things, the man
who is temperate, in the full sense of
the word, survives.''
a novel saloon trust scheme is be-
ing started here by temperance re-
formers, headed by Earl Gray. Un-
der it every new license granted by
the authorities will be acquired. The
profits from the saloons beyond four
per cent. will be applied to objects of
public utility.
The London county council had to
purchase 60 saloon licenses in buying
property to cut a new thoroughfare
tfom Holborn to the Strand, and the
essoon trust proposes to acquire these
- begin with.
Lord Roberts testimony to the
value of temperance has caused the
esundation of the "Bobs league" a
new temperance organization which
= to be inaugurated by entertaining
"bobs" on his return at a public ban
0~et without an intoxicating drink.
