He Was Mistaken,

The young man was telling the
young lady that he believed there
must be some sort of affinity between
them. And he went OH to say that
the other day when he was walking
up the street he felt that she was com
ing up on that next car, nay. he knew
that she was in that car. Sure enough,
when the car rolled by there she sat,
and not only that, but she turned and
saw him walking. A few days after
wards the young man was forced to
make confession to the young lady.
He had told her about feeling that
she was coming, and as the rumbling
and roaring of the car grew nearer he
was more'and more curious to see if
his premonition was correct.
"Well, "said he, .'that car came light
along and was as sure as could be
that the next instant / would turn
around and see you."
"And then?" she asked.
"And them" he went on ''that rum
bling and roaring and humping came
by and-no you weren't there. It
was freight car full of cabbages.

Women and Wine.

That the Incorporate use Of stimulating
and intoxicating liquors is decreasing
among men In this country is frequently
asserted and Is sustained by very good
showing.
But now the alarming theory that the
abuse OF alcoholic liquors is increasing
among women Is advanced by some medi-
cal journals and finds endorsement from
some students of economic questions and
some newspapers In our great cities.
1t Is said that there were more women on
the streets Of Atlanta under the influence
OF liquor last Saturday night than the po-
lice had ever observed before In all their
experience, and in our exchanges from
other cities we see frequently accounts OF
women who have been arrested for drunk
enness.
The Chicago Journal declares that the
increase of intemperance among women in
that city is very noticeable, and adds:
1.-The explanation of this phenomenon
Is not difficult. AS life has become moro
tense, more strenuous for woman, the need,
real or fancied, for stimulants has come
upon her as 1t did upon men. 1t is the ex-
ceptional woman to-day who is not In some
sense business woman, for even the pur-
suit Of society has become q business.
With greater independence, heavier cares,
and livelier intellectual life than her
grandmother enjoyed-or suffered-the
twentieth century girl may be expected to
seek much the same method of securing re-
ller or stimulus aS her brother does.
Doubtless this will be bad for the race.
The alcoholic faint inherited from one
parent has wrecked enough lives. II the
danger be doubled the gravity of the re-
suits will be enhanced. But it is an ire
futable proposition that il women are COM
PEELED to do an ever-increasing share OF
mans work, they will ultimately contract
u share OF mans vices. too"
The rather free indulgence Of women in
wine and even stronger drinks at entertain
men!s Is one OF the deplorable events OF
modern social life, and we fear that it is on
the increase.
The proprietor OF n fashionable New York
hotel is quoted as saying that women
guests give his bar II very large patronage
by orders from their rooms, and that the
drink habit among women OF the higher as
we'll rs the lower classes is growing.
1t would be pleasant to believe that such
statements as we have referred to are
either entirely untrue or grossly exagger-
ated, but the frequency and emphasis with
which they are made will not permit them
to be brushed aside merely because it is
painful to give them credence.
What are we going to do about it?-At-

Lincoln's WashinSton's Birthday Speech,
Delivered February %. 1S42.)
or our political Revolution OF 1776 we are
Justly proud. 1t has given us degree of
political freedom far exceeding that of any
other nation Of the earth. In it the world
has found O solution Of the long mooted
problem as to the capability of man to
govern himself. In 1t was the germ which
has vegetated and is still to grow and ex-
pand into the universal liberty OF man
kind.
Turn now to the temperance revolution.
In 1t we shall find a stronger bondage
broken, viler slavery manumttted, a.
greater tyrant deposed; in 1t more OF want
supplied, more disease healed, more sor-
row assuaged; by 1t no orphan starving, no
widows weeping; by 1t none wounded In
feeling, none injured In tnterest-even
the drammaker and dramseller VIII nave
glided into other occupations SO gradually
as never to have felt the change and will
stand ready to join all others In the uni
versnl song OF gladness. And what noble
ally this to the cause OF political freedom!
With such an aid its march cannot fail to
be on and on, till every son OF earth shall
drink in rich fruition the esorrow-quenching
drafts OF perfect liberty. Happy day when,
all appettes controlled, all passion sub
dued, all matter subjected to mind-all-
conQuering mind shall live and move the
monarch OF the world! Glorious consum-
nation! Hail. fall Of furyl Reign of reason
all hail!
And when the victory shall be complete
when there shall be neither slave nor
drunkard on the earth-how proud the
title OF that land which may truly claim to
be the birthplace and the cradle OF both
those revolutions that shall have ended in
that victory! How nobly distinguished
that people who shall have planted and
nurtured to maturity both the political
and moral freedom OF their speciesl

He never acted Romeo

He never cut kite string, no,
Nor hid an Easter egg;
He never spoiled his pantaloons

A coon hunt to enjoy
Nor found the ''old man" waiting,

THE GREAT DESTROYER,
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF lNTEMPERANcE.

How MY Boy Went Down-The Use OF
Liquors is Decreasing Among Men. But
It Seeins to BE Increasing Among
Women-An Alarming Symptom.
1t was not on the neld of battle.
1t was not with n snip at sea,
But a fate far worse than either
That stole him away from me.
Twas the death In the tempting dram
That the reason and senses drown;
He drank the alluring poison,
And thus my boy went down.
Down from the heights OF manhood
To the depths OF disgrace and sin;
Down to worthless being,
From the hope OF what might have been.
For the brand OF beast besotted
He bartered his manhood's crown:
Through the gate OF sinful pleasure
Ny poor, weak boy went down.
"Tis only the same old story
That mothers so often tell
With accents Of infinite sadness,
Like the tones of o funeral bell;
But never thought, once, when heard it
should learn all its meaning myself;
/ thought he'd be true to his mother,
thought he'd be true to himself.
But, alas, for my hopes, all delusionI
Alas! for his youthful pride!
Alas! who are safe when danger
Is open on every side?
Oh. can nothing destroy this great evil?
No bar in its pathway be thrown,
To save from the terrible maelstrom
The thousands Of boys going down?

Progress OF the Cause.

In no department OF human thought and
endeavor has the temperance cause made
more notable progress In recent years than
In that OF medical science. Alcoholic IL
qnors, instead OF being regarded as a
panacea for all human Ills, as they were
years ago, are fast being excluded from
medical practice generally. Almost with
out exception, all great London physi-
clans, and all great surgeons, are In favor
OF total abstinence. Some surgeons will
not undertake to perform operations upon
persons who have been addicted to drink;
they value their regulations too highly to
risk failure.

or all the men the world has seen
Since Time his rounds began,
There's one pity every day
Earth's first and foremost man;
Just think of all he missed
By failing to enjoy
The dear delights OF youthtime,
For-he never was u boy.
He never stubbed his naked toe
Against root or stone,
He never with pin-hook flshed
For minnows all alone.
He never sought the bumblebee
Among the daisies coy,
Nor felt its business end,
Because-he never was boy.
He never hockey played nor tied
bright and shining pail
Down in the alley all alone
To trusting poodle's tail.
And when he home from swimmin' came,
His pleasure to destroy
No slipper interfered,
Because-he never was a boy.

The visitor to the university farm
as he approaches it from Linden drive,
is impressed with the beauty of the
trim-kept grounds, with their hand
some shrubbery and beds of flowers in
bloom, indicating the interest taken by
superintendent Adams in the general
appearance of things. The old barn
since its reconstruction is now in har-
mony with it's surroundings and pre-
sents a truly artistic appearance as
one catches a glimpse of the structure
down the long vistas. The crops on
the farm show the benefit of the boun-
tiful rain, and the experimental plats
of different grains and grasses, of
which there are thirty or more, give
promise of an abundant yield.
At the dairy building the excavation
for the new experimental curing rooms
for foreign cheese is completed, and
everything is in readiness for Con-
tractor T. Mccarthy to begin the ma
son work. When students come for
the dairy course next fall they will
have an opportunity to learn all about
the manufacture of such delectable ar
ticles of diet as limburger, Swiss and
brick cheese, as these foreign products
of the dairy are monopolizing the mar
kets in some sections of the state.
Hence the necessity of every cheese
maker being "up" in these usurpers
of the place of the home product that
our mothers used to make before the
days of starters" and bacilli 1t is
not yet fully decided whether the stu
dent shall be required to learn to eat
and enjoy these foreign cheeses as a
part of the course. but in order to be
consistent, and set the general public
at ease, it would seem to be almost a
necessity that they should be able to
demonstrate that "the proof of the
pudding is in the eating" Just now
the Office force is engaged in mailing
1000 circulars in regard to the next
seasons work.

found true of the bright inner corona
even up to where it was obscured by
the moon. These results were directly
opposed to those found in the case of
the prominences, the light of which is
not polarized. 1t is proved, therefore,
by the pictures that the continuous
spectrum, due to reflected light, is al
most wholly polarized, whereas the
bright line spectra, due to gases in the
prominences, are wholly polarized; in
other words, the light from the prom
inences is their own and not reflected
sunlight.
A polariseope is used with a direct
vision spectroscope for obtaining spec
trum photographs with polarized light
The spectrum photographs, with the
exception of one taken with the polar
iscope were obtained with one Rowland
refraction grating. The photographs
obtained with the prismatic camera
are yet undeveloped.
Parts of the spectrum which had
good focus gave results never obtained
before. In bright III" and k cal
cium lines the pictures show so or more
little prominences, and also a line due
to hydrogen, which happened to bevery
close to the calcium ''H'' is seen very
distinctly separated from it, the varia-
ton in the appearance of the prom
inences in these lines being very wide
In another plate the carbon bands, due
to cyanogen, are bright and appear dis
tinctly reversed.
Mr.. Jewell, at Griffin, Ca, was the
only one to obtain view of the "F'
line reversing spectrum. At Griffin one
of the blue hydrogen lines was seen
nearly three minutes before second
contact, and quite number of other
bright lines were seen later on A
gradual change was seen in the Fraun-
hOfer spectrum as the suns crescent
narrowed and shortened. and a beauti-
full view was obtained of the bright
line spectrum after second contact, and
in the case of many lines for some time
before. For several seconds after Sec
ond contact the field of the spectre
scope was filled with bright lines of
various length, appearing as fine cres-
cents. Some of these were observed
for s or 10 seconds after totality began,
and the blue hydrogen at individuality
was seen for at least two-thirds of a
complete circle, part of it remaining
throughout. Magnesium was visible
at mid-totality, and there were green
and several others. The spectroscope
used by Mr.. Jewell in his visual obser-
vations was small fat Rowland graf
ing, used with field glass.
DR.. Sims has received satisfactory re-
ports from members OF the different
parties. The visual results of Prof R.
W. Wood are extremely pleasing. He
showed that the bright line spectra
were not polarized, and that there was
no periodic fiuctatation of the light in
the corona He has finally settled sew
eral question concerning the moons
shadow bands
Prof. George E. Hale, who was at
Wadesboro, N. c., obtained for the first
time evidences of heat from the corona.
The photographs at GAINESVILLE are de-
clared by Mr.. Peters, the photographer,
to be the best he has ever seen.

tomato vines that look like the famous
beanstalk of Jacks time These are
trained to one stalk and are now about
six feet high. They have at times
however, been trained to height of
thirteen feet. The department is now
supplying one of our leading grocery
stores with ripe tomatoes, which for
flavor and quality completely distance
their competitors from the sunny cline
of Florida. There is a general impress
sion that hot house vegetables are not
of as high quality as those grown in
the rays of old Sol, but Prof Golf says
this is mistake, and that exactly the
reverse is the truth and that any one
familiar with the merits of the two
classes will readily admit the claims
of the pampered vegetable.
